Chen Yi couldn''t help him much,

    and Zhao Chengyu said that when he became the head of the family, he would find a way to help both of them,

    Chen Yi just laughed and said,

    If Zhao Chengyu really became the head of the Zhao family, he wouldn''t be able to make Zhao Chengjing leave the family unreasonably,

    from that position, Zhao Chengyu would have to think about the family first,

    Chen Yi didn''t promise to help Zhao Chengyu, which eased Zhao Chengyu''s mind,

    On one side were his brother and sister, on the other hand was the interest of the family, which made it hard for him to choose.

    The three of them agreed to keep in touch by mail, then Chen Yi officially parted ways with Zhao and Liu.

    .....

    After they parted, Chen Yi, all alone, rode on the official guest ship of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, heading east.

    This time, his destination was the easternmost location of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, the Four Major Business Associations'' headquarters, the location of a Tier Three spiritual vein, guarded by Core Formation cultivators,

    Wangyue Island.

    Travelling on the government''s ship stop by stop would take about half a year.

    On this journey, Chen Yi learned a lot about the customs of the Immortal Cultivation World and encountered some deception,

    fortunately, with his character of not provoking trouble and not standing out, he just followed the official ship without straying and managed to safely reach Wangyue Island.

    A few hundred miles before the final stop,

    on the deck, Chen Yi saw a towering brown peak. Despite its name as an island, its size was incalculable and according to what Chen Yi knew,

    Wangyue Island was second only to Qinglong Island in size, belonging to the first echelon of the major powers within the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance.

    The island was primarily a Tier Three spiritual vein, with dozens of subsidiary spiritual veins radiating out from it.

    This island was managed by the Zhao, Yang, Huang, Zhou four major merchant families. Every few hundred years, a genius cultivator would emerge from one of the families, advancing to the True Core Stage. During that period, that merchant family would dominate Wangyue Island and the other merchant families would become subsidiary.

    About three hundred years ago, the matriarch of the Yang family successfully advanced to the True Core Stage. Now, the Yang family controls the Tier Three spiritual vein, while the other families possess the remaining lower-tier Three spiritual vein, or a peak-tier Two spiritual vein.

    The medium and high-tier Two spiritual veins had all become resources for the families, used to build cities and attract cultivators from all over.

    After one or two thousand years of development,

    Wangyue Island is now enormous, with one True Core cultivator, several Pseudo-cores cultivators, hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and countless other cultivators,

    It also has become an important commercial hub between the Spirit Mist Sea and the mainland, where all sorts of resources for Immortal Cultivation are accumulated,

    Theoretically, as long as you have spirit stones and strength, you can buy any cultivation resources for the stage below Pseudo-core here.

    This is also the reason why Chen Yi came here.

    He wanted to prepare for his Foundation Establishment in the future years, planning to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself, which required Chen Yi to first learn how to refine the pill, and also to have 3 to 5 chances for error,

    But the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill are extremely rare, with several kinds being strategic resources, only controlled by major powers,

    Only in trading hubs like Wangyue City can such valuable resources be obtained.

    As to why Chen Yi wanted to refine it himself and not collect materials for someone else to do it,

    It was because the Foundation Establishment Pill wasn''t a one-size-fits-all, it would vary according to the properties of the mana of each individual,

    Chen Yi practiced the ancient Turtle Breath Calming Technique, which had very special mana characteristics,

    If he wanted to achieve the best Foundation Establishment effect, he had to refine the pill himself,

    Otherwise, if he took a Foundation Establishment Pill of another attribute, he would still succeed in Foundation Establishment, but his Turtle Breath Mana would be largely diluted, which is not what he wanted.

    .....

    About fifty miles away from Wangyue City is a satellite transfer city, where all large spirit ships have to stop.

    Chen Yi disembarked,

    riding a flying boat alone towards Wangyue City.

    On the water, there were reefs standing tall with waves crashing against the shore. There were also a few lower-tier cultivators fishing on boats,

    This reminded Chen Yi of the memory he had when he first arrived in the Immortal Cultivation World.

    Suddenly, Chen Yi''s pupils contracted, Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Due to the properties of his Turtle Breath Mana, he caught a glimpse of a black spiritual light flashing from behind a reef.

    "There''s a Demon Cultivator here?"

    Chen Yi frowned, this was outside a major city, and yet there was a Demon Cultivator daring to rob in secret, truly audacious!

    Chen Yi decided to detour around it, other people wouldn''t meddle in affairs that didn''t concern them, and naturally, he wouldn''t either.

    But,

    He had just bypassed it not far away when he glanced at the three people on the small fishing boat behind the reef,

    A gray-robed cultivator was in front, followed by an old couple walking rhythmically, their movements rigid as they operated the fishing boat towards the temporary Market Town of lower-tier Loose Cultivators outside the city.

    Chen Yi took a closer look and immediately furrowed his brows.

    These three people, all of them had some connection with him!
