Chapter 261: Chapter 148: Toying with Qi Refining Perfection, Rejecting Fairy Cen

As for that Tier Two Spirit Vein..."

Jiang Hongguang paused here, then continued:

"There is enough space nearby to establish two cave mansions; if Fellow Daoist Chu’s mansion must occupy such a large area, we can stay in our current one without any impact."

Hearing this, Yu Yuansheng nodded slightly.

"I understand. I will explain the seriousness to Jiang Lan in advance."

Jiang Hongguang listened, nodding gently, but his gaze stayed on the teleportation array without speaking further.

Undoubtedly, the tactics that Chu Ning displayed during the first three days of the arena competition caused this Isle Master Jiang to be extremely apprehensive.

Even those at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining were lacking in front of him; naturally, he, at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, was even more vulnerable.

So, after much deliberation this evening, he eventually decided to adopt a sufficiently humble attitude.

At this moment, Jiang Hongguang and Yu Yuansheng suddenly saw a flash of white light on the teleportation array.

Upon seeing the person on the teleportation array, the two of them stepped forward a few more steps at once, and Jiang Hongguang spoke smilingly:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you’ve come quite early."

Chu Ning, upon stepping off the teleportation array, saw Jiang Hongguang and Yu Yuansheng, and his face showed a hint of surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you and your spouse on your way somewhere?"

"We specifically waited here for Fellow Daoist Chu," Jiang Hongguang immediately shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Chu Ning was slightly startled.

However, he quickly understood roughly what was going on and hurriedly cupped his hands toward Jiang Hongguang, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is too polite. I’ve already visited once and know where your mansion is, I will naturally find my way there."

"It’s the least we can do, indeed!"

Although Jiang Hongguang heard Chu Ning’s words, delivered in a calm and humble tone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his words remained very courteous.

"If it weren’t for Fellow Daoist Chu, we would be busy packing and moving right now."

Chu Ning simply shook his head and didn’t continue the conversation.

Noticing Chu Ning’s reluctance to dwell on such topics, Jiang Hongguang promptly asked:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, shall we first head to our mansion for a discussion, or directly to that Hidden Spirit Vein?"

Without much hesitation, Chu Ning responded:

"Let’s head directly to the Tier Two Spirit Vein. To be honest with you, I brought along some spirit plants. I’ve not found a suitable place, and if not planted soon, they might not survive."

Chu Ning spoke truthfully; if he hadn’t dug up those spirit plants with a considerable amount of soil together.

Moreover, he used some special methods to properly store them.

Along the way, he occasionally brought out the harder-to-keep spirit plants, employing the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill on them.

Otherwise, more than half of the spirit plants in the Storage Bag might not survive transplantation. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Hearing this, Jiang Hongguang and Yu Yuansheng quickly began leading the way again.

Then, the three of them took to wind-controlling flight while chatting.

It wasn’t long when Chu Ning stopped abruptly, looking at Jiang Hongguang, and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what does this mean? This Feihong Island was yours originally, and you invited me in as help.

How come in the end, I’m the one expected to be the Isle Master?"

Saying this, Chu Ning shook his head.

Understanding Jiang Hongguang’s concerns, he sincerely said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I’ve always been a free spirit, accustomed to intense cultivation, and frankly have no interest in being an Isle Master.

This island should continue as it always has; I just need a place for a cave mansion.

As for that Tier Two Spirit Vein..."

Chu Ning paused here, and Jiang Hongguang and Yu Yuansheng both focused their gaze on Chu Ning.

Although they had agreed that if Chu Ning insisted on taking over the Tier Two Spirit Vein, they’d accept it.

But until matters were finalized, they harbored a glimmer of hope.

Seeing their concerned looks, Chu Ning smiled and said:

"I initially planned to confirm before discussing with you, but seeing as there’s no harm in checking together now.

I suspect there may be more than just the Hidden Spirit Vein you have discovered on this island."

"What?" Jiang Hongguang and Yu Yuansheng were taken aback by Chu Ning’s words.

At this moment, Chu Ning tapped on his Spirit Beast Bag, releasing Ling Xiaobai.

The little creature hopped onto Chu Ning’s shoulder immediately.

Then Chu Ning continued:

"This Spirit Beast I raised is quite sensitive to Spiritual Qi, and it detected another area on this island with dense Spiritual Qi.

Whether it’s another Hidden Spirit Vein requires further investigation."

With that, Chu Ning suggested to the two:

"Shall we go take a look now?"

"Oh, sure, sure." Jiang Hongguang, who was a bit dazed, regained his composure and said:

"Everything at Fellow Daoist Chu’s discretion."

Without further ado, Chu Ning lightly patted Ling Xiaobai, who understood the gesture and began to direct them.

The three of them then continued flying forward.

They soon arrived at the barren mountain Chu Ning had previously visited with Jiang Hongguang and others, then continued flying under Ling Xiaobai’s guidance.

They flew to the southwestern direction of the island, almost exiting the island.

At this point, Ling Xiaobai signaled Chu Ning to stop.

"Yanfeng? Fellow Daoist Chu, could this be the place you’re referring to?"

Jiang Hongguang asked in astonishment, looking at the seemingly unremarkable mountain peak.

"Is this place called Yanfeng?" Chu Ning turned his head, glancing at the medium-sized mountain before him.

"To know for sure, we need to dig deeper."

Saying this, Chu Ning roughly determined a position and then tapped on another Beast Bag.

Soon, an Iron Rock Beast of the size of a small cow was released.

Despite spending most of its time in the Beast Bag over these months, Chu Ning had diligently fed it.

Especially after entering the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, where Chu Ning often released it to feed in the Stone Chamber.

This creature had grown considerably, now as large as a small cow, far outpacing Ling Xiaobai in size.

Observing this, Jiang Hongguang and his wife exchanged glances, astonished by Chu Ning’s endless wonders.

"Go ahead, carve out a passage!"

With a light pat from Chu Ning, the Iron Rock Beast started digging into the mountain slope.

Working in tandem with Chu Ning’s spells to remove the soil, they quickly excavated a tunnel leading into the mountain’s depths.

Chu Ning led the way, and the three of them entered the tunnel one after another.
