Chapter 239: Spiritual Island
Upon having heard the utterances by the Naked Skinning Witch, SongZhong hurriedly replied with a chill in his heart, “ You better give up your love for me, for I could not accept your type!”
“En~” to which the Naked Skinning Witch let out a casual groan. Only SongZhong could utter this words without suffering any consequences. It was guaranteed if the same reply were made by others, they would definitely be shredded to pieces by her.SongZhong had just repelled the Eastern Ocean’s Three Demons and was still feeling elated. He could not be bothered with the Naked Skinning Witch as he waved his hands, “Come, come, come. Let’s all go in and have a good celebration!”
“Okay!” SiYu and SiYun cheered. Then, they went in first and prepared a celebratory feast.
The duo’s culinary skills were extremely refined, and they were able to whip up a feast in just a short while. Then, everyone gathered under the tree on the peak, enjoying the feast while admiring the scenery!
After a round of celebration, SiYu and SiYun smiled, “Senior brother Song, you are really too powerful. You are not even at the JinDan stage and yet you are able to scare away the Eastern Ocean’s Three Demons who are at the completed JinDan stage. If it was not for the fact that we witnessed it, we will not be able to believe it for sure!”“That’s right!” The Naked Skinning Witch added on, “This time, you are going to be famous. The t.i.tle ‘Fourth Demon’ is definitely yours now!”
As SongZhong heard that, his face turned bitter as he lamented, “But I am obviously a normal person. Why do I have to be the Fourth Demon?”
“Goodness!” After SiYun and SiYu heard that, they did not know whether to laugh or cry, “With a cultivation at the foundational stage, you were able to scare the Eastern Ocean’s Three Demons into escaping. Is this something which an ordinary person can do? Not to mention calling you the Fourth Demon, even if we were to call you the First Demon, there will probably be no one who will object to that!”“That’s right! With boss’s battle feat today, you can definitely be the First Demon!” Old Poison also added on.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” SongZhong waved his hands, “I will rather die than be a demon!”
“Haha!” As everyone heard that, they all burst out into laughter. SiYu and SiYun could not help but laugh, “Brother Song, this is something which has already been publicly acknowledged. I’m afraid you don’t have a choice but to admit it!”
SongZhong also knew that what SiYu and SiYun said was true. For such a thing which was part of tradition, it was not something which he can object to. Thus, he said in a depressed tone, “My goodness! How can I still meet people in future!” As he said that, he hugged his head in frustration. As everyone saw SongZhong as such, they all burst out into laughter. As Mu ZiRong saw that, she could not help but hug SongZhong’s arm, “Husband, isn’t that all just reputation? What’s the big deal about that? No matter what you are called, I will still support you!”
“You’re the best!” SongZhong could not help but feel warmth from what Mu ZiRong said.
Mu ZiRong then laughed and continued to be in SongZhong’s embrace, looking extremely loving.
As everyone saw this heartwarming sight, they could not help but feel a sense of awkwardness. In order to break that awkwardness, the Naked Skinning Witch coughed out twice and said, “Boss Song, you are already an island head already. It is time for me to give up my position as team leader! I hope that you will not reject me!”
As she said that, the Naked Skinning Witch looked at SongZhong. Following which, everyone else also looked at SongZhong nervously, afraid that he will reject. After all, it wasn’t easy to find a strong team member. For them to have a strong team leader like SongZhong was a blessing to them.
As SongZhong saw that, he did not reject and said, “Alright then, since you willingly let up your position as team leader, I will accept it reluctantly!”
As everyone heard that, they were all elated. Only the Naked Skinning Witch did not feel good in her heart as she thought to herself, ‘Only an idiot will give up the position of team leader willingly. The only reason why I am doing this is because of you. If this lady is still not going to be tactful, I think you will probably kill me right?’Of course, the Naked Skinning Witch would only keep those words in her heart, saying it out as it was akin to seeking death.
After SongZhong announced that he was taking over as team leader, the Naked Skinning Witch stood up and said, “Come, bottoms up to our new team leader!”
Everyone also lifted up their wine cups and offered a toast to SongZhong, “To our new team leader, cheers!”
“Hehe, thanks, thanks!” SongZhong did not dare to be rude, so he stood up and drank with them.
After everyone sat back down, the Naked Skinning Witch said, “Leader, now that you have the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant, it is best for you to occupy a spiritual island as soon as possible. You have to know, the spiritual island is filled with treasures. The one more day you have it, the greater your benefits!”
“That’s right!” As Old Poison heard that, he quickly added on, “I heard that the spiritual islands of the Eastern Ocean’s Three Demons are capable of producing over 100,000 spiritual stones everyday! Leader, it’s best that you make your plans soon!”
“More than 100,000 spiritual stones everyday?” SongZhong could not help but exclaim, “There is actually so much?”
“Of course, the spiritual island is inundated with treasures, with abundance of spiritual herbs. There are even some special things which can be easily worth a magical artifact!” Old Poison added on.
“Aiyah! Are there many of these spiritual islands?”“Of course not. In the whole Eastern Ocean Alliance, there are only about 10 of these islands!” The Naked Skinning Witch replied.
“Oh!” As SongZhong heard that, his eyes lit up as he said, “If that’s the case, apart from the three that the Eastern Ocean Three Demons occupy, I still have about 10 to choose from?”
“Not necessarily so!” The Naked Skinning Witch replied, “Those spiritual islands which seemingly has no owner, are actually shared by the various large sects!”“And they do not have the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant? I am the one who has the authority to own an island!” SongZhong exclaimed.
“Hehe, my dear team leader. You seem to have forgotten something. The Eastern Ocean is not a place where people are reasonable. As long as they claim it as theirs, it would be theirs. Even if you have the Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant, it only means that you are an owner in name only! In any case, if you want the spiritual islands, you have to get it by force! If you win, it will be yours. If you lose, you may not even keep your own life!”
“Dammit, this Eastern Ocean is really lawless! So according to what you say, this Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant is as good as useless? Since it doesn’t seem to do anything at all?”
“Of course not. The Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant does have some use. It bestows you proper owners.h.i.+p over the island.” The Naked Skinning Witch explained, “On the other spiritual islands, they were constantly fought over by the large sects due to the fact that they did not have any proper rights to the island. It was simply the case of ‘since you can come, so can’. But on the islands owned by the Eastern Ocean’s Three Demons, no one dares to enter them. Not only were they strong, they had the rights to own that island. If matters are blown up, the Eastern Ocean Alliance will also help them. After all, the warrants were given out by them and they had to show some concern as well for their own reputation! It was also for this reason that so many people are eyeing on your Eastern Ocean Island Head Warrant!”
“Hehe, it is a pity that while they want it, they don’t have the ability to take it!” SongZhong sneered. “Forget it, forget about all those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. We should discuss about how we are going to capture the spiritual island! All of you have stayed here for so many years already, do you have any suggestions?”
“I think that the Clear Spiritual Island is a good idea. There is a Water-type spiritual spring there. If one were to cultivate a Water type cultivation method within it, it is similar to the effects of cultivating in the Water Divine Hall, achieving twice the results with half the effort. It was also suitable for refining divine lightnings or Water type magical artifacts!” Old Poison smiled, “Of course, the key is that the guards on that island is the weakest. With your strength and reputation, you will be able to take over it easily!”
“Oh!” As SongZhong heard that, his eyes lit up as he asked, “Then who is the one in charge of that island?”
“Jade Pearl Pavilion! In the Eastern Ocean, these women are the weakest!” Old Poison replied without hesitation.
“F**k!” As SongZhong heard that, he scolded, “What kind of stupid idea are you giving me? Don’t tell me I have to resort to bullying ladies?”
“Ah?” Old Poison was shocked. He never imagined SongZhong to be so prideful. He quickly replied with a sycophantic smile, “Don’t be angry, leader. It is my fault, we shall not fight with the ladies!”“That’s better! Are there any other spiritual islands?”
“Of course!” Old Poison replied, “Since you are not willing to fight with the ladies, what kind of spiritual island do you want? I can formulate a plan for you!”“Of course the one with the most benefits!” SongZhong replied immediately, “The place with the most benefits will be the place that I want. As for the guards, you can ignore them completely. I will blow them all up with my Lesser Positive Negative Five Elements Divine Lightnings. If they are not going to escape, they can get ready to be blown to ashes!”
“Good, leader’s divine lightning is the strongest!” Old Poison flattered, “If that’s the case, then things are simple. Of all the spiritual islands in the Eastern Ocean, the richest one would definitely be the Sulfur Island! It is 5000 kilometres wide and have more than 10 spiritual stone deposits and many other treasures. There is even a type of water caltrop there that is said to bolster the cultivation of JinDan cultivators. Just this item alone will definitely make one rich! It is just that~”
“Just what?” SongZhong asked.“It is just that such an island will definitely have many people on it. There will at least be about 10 JinDan cultivators guarding it. If we were to really fight, it will not be an exaggeration if there were 20 or 30 JinDan cultivators coming to fight!” Old Poison said meekly, “Leader, of the many JinDan cultivators, there are still some which are at the completed JinDan stage. Are you sure you can manage?”
