"This Qi Cultivation cultivator still has some skills, able to see my method of nurturing Evil Qi."
The middle-aged man said this, shaking his head with a laugh,
"Luckily, you were clever, intentionally distracting that cultivator’s attention and leading him to the northwest side.
If he finds nothing there, perhaps he will leave this place.
Otherwise, if there are other cultivators here, there would surely be some trouble."
The two crows cawed, seeming to enjoy the middle-aged man’s praise.
The middle-aged man laughed and stroked the two crows.
But then he worriedly said:
"Sigh! It’s because my magic is not refined enough, otherwise, you could have completely led him here.
"If I could use the spirit blood and spirit flesh of a cultivator with my nurturing Evil Qi magic, perhaps I could nurture an impenetrable corpse king.
At that time, even facing the Island Master, I could probably engage him in a fight, or even slay him with a blade.
Then... this island would be mine, and I wouldn’t have to hide anymore..."
Zhang Feng walked around, asked people, and finally found the captain’s grandfather’s house.
Their house was in the ’small town’ of the island.
From a high point, there were just about a hundred households.
Zhang Feng saw that the crew had already been arranged, staying in an empty small courtyard.
Squeeze a bit and lay down floor bedding, it was barely passable.
Then, he paid the landing tax.
There were specific guards to collect it.
Each person owed five pounds of fish a month, or they could work on the island, etc.
Zhang Feng chose to pay with fish.
After giving them a large basket of dried fish, the island guard handed him a token.
Finally, he registered his name.
Next month, they would come to collect it again.
Zhang Feng didn’t mind, he had so many people, and they were all skilled.
They could go to sea and catch a big fish anytime, and it would cover a few months’ tax.
"Stay here and recuperate for a while."
Night was deeper, at the exclusive crew dining gathering in the courtyard.
Zhang Feng roughly set the plan for the future and said to the captain, "After your grandfather has celebrated his birthday, are you going to stay or go back to the mountains?"
"Go back to the mountains." The captain was thinking about his son, "When we left, my daughter-in-law was pregnant, I want to go back and hold my grandson."
"Then let Un-eye them take you."
Zhang Feng raised a glass to the captain, "After dropping you off, the ship will return.
When I find a big ship, this one will be returned to you, kept in the mountains."
"I dare not..." The captain hurriedly shook his head, "If it weren’t for you, sir, we would have perished at the hands of pirates that day, so don’t say it’s just a ship, even if you have me build you another ship..."
"Enough with the empty talk." Zhang Feng pointed to the food, "Let’s eat first. Also, from now on, don’t call me ’sir’ anymore, call me captain.
After I cultivate for a few more years, our ship will be named ’Spirit Cultivation Ship’."
In the blink of an eye.
A year and a half had passed on the island.
A foreign naval fleet arrived at Lin Island, specifically to offer tribute to Isle Master Lin.
Zhang Feng sat on his own vessel, fishing and lazily looking towards the direction of Lin Island.
In this year and a half.
The ship hadn’t been renamed.
Zhang Feng hadn’t chosen to seek out the Island Master, but rather cultivated in the courtyard, or fished like he did today.
Because the Island Master and that evil cultivator were not the same.
It’s the same old story, that rogue cultivator looked sneaky, definitely a small fry with low strength.
So, I could ignore protocol to seek him out, or leave whenever.
However, meeting with the Island Master required informing, and so on.
Firstly, the procedure is formal, and I can’t guess how many experts the Island Master has.
Just hearing ’the governor of this dynasty and the navy of that country’ go to see the Island Master, again offering tribute, suggests the Island Master has considerable strength, or something the dynasty fears.
If I go to meet him so openly, and something happens during that, it would be a waste of effort.
’I’m still too weak...’
Zhang Feng felt he needed more practice, more patience.
Unconsciously, two years had passed in fishing and netting.
Zhang Feng rowed along the shore, observing the symbols of that evil cultivator.
In these years, he often improved them.
He often watched them himself.
The crows in the sky were also guarding Zhang Feng, flying continuously. The source of thɪs content is novel⚑fire.net
Zhang Feng ignored them, focusing only on the symbols.
But it was precisely by watching them for nearly four years, plus his occasional modifications, and the operations of these Evil Qi.
In fact, Zhang Feng deduced seventy to eighty percent of the effect.
This thing really was what he imagined as the ’Corpse Refining Skill’.
Similarly, after understanding the nature of this ’Corpse Refining Skill’, Zhang Feng felt it was a good thing!
However, Zhang Feng didn’t want to nurture corpses, rather he wanted to become familiar with the Yin Sha way, then use this Yin Sha to temper himself.
Finally, to perform a ’self-refining’.
After all, Spiritual Qi is energy, an enhancer.
So theoretically, Yin Sha, filled with decay, is also a form of energy.
It seems like corrosion, consumption, a transformation in the opposite direction.
But Zhang Feng thought, as long as he found the key, it might also have the effect of ’positively increasing constitution’.
Or perhaps, find the common ’energy’ and ’enhancement’ between Yin Sha and Spiritual Qi, and implement a simple energy ’extraordinary substance’ transformation between them.
Thus, even if he reached a world without spirit, as long as there was Yin Sha inside, he could still cultivate spirit.
Then, using himself and Spiritual Thought as a bridge and medium, he could finally convert Yin Sha into Spiritual Qi.
After all, the essence of all things is the atomic structure of energy, then some additional special characteristics.
His Spiritual Thought was precisely the characteristic of ’all attributes can be cultivated’.
No matter + what Spirit Root, it was + overall Spirit Root.
