Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

Wanfu Island originally possessed a second-grade low-level natural spiritual vein, which was already vibrant and thriving.

Furthermore, with the Su family regularly selling one or two Foundation Establishment Pills, it attracted countless cultivators, making the Island Market increasingly famous.

To this end, the Su family spared no expense in manpower and resources to upgrade the spiritual vein to the second-tier high-grade level.

A second-tier superior spiritual vein is sufficient to support multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators and hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators simultaneously.

To this day, the number of cultivators residing in Wanfudian Immortal Cultivation Market has exceeded five hundred, with nearly three thousand cultivators coming and going each month. The market management fees alone can bring the Su family a net income of fifty thousand spirit stones per year.

This doesn't even include the various and complicated taxes and fees.

To safeguard this coveted prize, the Su family not only stationed three Foundation Establishment cultivators year-round, but also set up a third-tier magic array, the "Water and Wood Condensation Array," to protect it.

With the help of the third-order magic array, even if a beast tide comes, they can hold out until they reach Qingyang Island for reinforcements.

Wanfu and Qingyang are more than 600 miles apart, but for cultivators of the Purple Mansion, it only takes an hour to reach them.

Lin Qing and his group not only brought local specialties and spiritual materials such as Fallen Feather Grass, but also a lot of the Five Elements Essence that their family had condensed in recent years. This alone could bring them a net profit of more than four hundred spirit stones.

This voyage was escorted by the most experienced Lin Shengfeng, and they arrived at Wanfu Island in ten days.

Because millions of mortals still live on the island, the Su family and the cultivation families that are affiliated with the Su family have set up four cultivation ports around the island and assigned special personnel to guide outside cultivators in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the mortals.

The distinction between immortals and mortals is an ironclad rule, both on the mainland and in the endless seas.

Only the legendary demonic cultivators, who enjoy consuming the essence and blood of mortals, and some even go so far as to slaughter the lives of an entire city's mortals in order to forge demonic weapons.

Therefore, if a cultivator enters Wanfu Island without going through the designated port, he will be fined or even killed if discovered by the patrol team.

Under Lin Shengfeng's guidance, Lin Qing would not make these mistakes.

Lin Shengfeng's skin was dark from years of exposure to the wind and sun. He also liked to wear a small hat at an angle, which led his peers to jokingly call him "Old Hat."

Lin Yunhe saw from afar a tall city wall standing at the foot of a mountain on the island, with a huge yellow flag hanging on it, bearing the character "Su" written in a flamboyant style.

Yunhe's spirits lifted, and a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Sixth Brother, we've arrived."

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Here we go."

The sea breeze blew Uncle Lin Shengfeng's hat askew, revealing his signature large forehead.

He instinctively covered himself and said:

"You'd better stick close to me from now on."

"Indeed, a large forehead."

Lin Qing happened to walk out of the cabin and looked at his fifth uncle in front of him, secretly laughing, but he couldn't show it.

A short while later, they arrived at the huge stone gate.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I am Su Wending, a disciple of the Su family. I am here on orders from my clan to guide you from all directions. May I ask if any of you possess any credentials for passing through the gates?"

The Su family cultivator in charge of guiding them, Su Wending, looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed in a dark blue scholar's outfit and held a folding fan in his right hand, looking every bit the scholar.

His cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but because he had the backing of the Su family, he showed no fear when facing Lin Shengfeng (eighth level of Qi Refining) and Lin Qing (seventh level of Qi Refining), and spoke in a measured and methodical manner.

Lin Shengfeng adjusted his hat slightly, took out an orange token engraved with the character "Lin" and thirty spirit stones from his pocket, and carefully handed them over.

"Fellow Daoist Wending, I am Lin Shengfeng from the Lin family of Wanling. These are my nephews Lin Qing and Yunzhou, and we are here to discuss some matters concerning the Lin family's shops."

Although Lin Shengfeng was unkempt, he had seen a lot in his life, and his reply was perfectly tactful.

Su Wending infused his spiritual power slightly and immediately saw some information on the token, including the shop's location, size, and the names of both parties to the contract.

Red, orange, yellow, and green.

These are the four levels of shops in Manpukushima Market, with red being the lowest level.

Su Wending briefly withdrew his gaze and handed over the token in his hand.

When Lin Shengfeng introduced Lin Qing, there was a slight change in his expression.

Then, changing the subject, he smiled at Lin Qing and said:

"This must be the Lin family's somewhat famous young talent, the Sixth Young Master Lin?"

"I've heard your story all over Wanfu Island."

"I never expected to run into you today. We are truly destined to meet."

I don't know what Su Wending was thinking, but his attitude changed completely in the blink of an eye.

Not only were they extremely polite, but they even walked up to Lin Qing and extended their hands to invite him to enter the city together.

"I hit it off with you immediately, young man. I imagine you must be tired from your journey. Why don't we rest at the teahouse along the ancient road ahead?"

Hearing that they could rest, Lin Yunzhou, who was half-following them, looked on with anticipation.

To be honest, if it weren't for his fifth uncle Lin Shengfeng's dark expression, he would have agreed on Lin Qing's behalf.

"Am I destined to be with you?"

Having experienced the Blue Planet, Lin Qing's expression became quite interesting when this familiar phrase was mentioned again.

Therefore, without needing his fifth uncle's reminder, Lin Qing laughed loudly and said:

"Haha, Brother Su is indeed warm and generous."

"Lin Qing is truly fortunate to have met Brother Su and become fast friends with him."

"But the shops at home are waiting for us to take over, and I'm afraid we really don't have time today."

"Some other time, some other time..."

...

Before Lin Qing could finish speaking, a chorus of warbling birds and dancing butterflies could be heard from afar.

Cultivators naturally have keen senses, so Lin Qing naturally looked up.

Wow, there's a four-story building in the distance. It's made entirely of white stone.

It was carefully decorated with pink floral vines.

A huge wooden board was lowered from the top floor.

"Ancient Road Tea House"

Lin Qing was still observing when he heard a young tea server on the first floor shout in a loud voice:

"Three floors, two distinguished guests."

Is this a legitimate teahouse?

In a daze, Su Wending unfolded his folding fan, looked at Lin Qing with a half-smile, and began to advise:

"Brother Lin, the timing is perfect."

"As the saying goes, 'Suddenly seeing the green of willows on the roadside, I regret having urged my husband to seek immortality.'"

"How can we waste such a wonderful time?"

"and."

Su Wending half-covered his lips with his folding fan, leaned close to Lin Qing's ear, and whispered in a voice just loud enough for Lin Qing and Lin Yunzhou to hear:

"Besides, aren't you two still virgins?"

"As long as you possess the primordial yang essence, I can give you another spirit stone!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunzhou's eyes immediately lit up!

Is this for real? Not only can I drink spiritual tea, but I can also get free spirit stones?

Has this ancient road teahouse lost its mind?

of course not!

Not only that, this "generous giveaway" was an arrangement they made after careful consideration.
