chapter 425: chapter 125 yuxing island occupation plan
after speaking, zhang jian looked out of the window of his house at the scenery outside, and couldn’t help but sigh:
“brother lin…”
“to be honest, i think it’s more comfortable here with you, owning an island all to oneself, much better than my situation on xian yu island.”
“originally, i thought that after learning the shenglin revival wood technique from madam yue qi, i could plant more spirit plants and have more ways to earn spirit stones.”
“but xian yu island is so small, and i have to compete with others, i can’t even expand to have a bit more usable spirit field…”
with a smile on his face, lin jing looked at zhang jian, listened to his complaints, first picked up the teacup, gently took a sip, then he said:
“actually, you could entirely own an island by yourself, with no one to compete with you.”
zhang jian glanced at lin jing with irritation and said:
“you make it sound so easy…”
“with my current cultivation, where could i possibly occupy an island?”
“apart from those extremely barren islands devoid of any usable resources, which other island that hasn’t been taken by a powerful golden core cultivator?”
at this point, zhang jian let out a bitter laugh and said:
“to put it bluntly, my own strength is just too weak.”
“if i were strong enough, i could just seize an island directly…”
upon hearing this, lin jing turned his head to stare at zhang jian and said:
“actually, there is one island that i think would be quite suitable for brother zhang.”
upon hearing these words, zhang jian immediately became interested and hastily asked:
“may i know which island brother lin is referring to?”
“how come i don’t know about it?”
lin jing smiled mysteriously and said:
“you’re not unfamiliar with that island.”
“yuxing island.”
“i’m sure brother zhang, you haven’t forgotten…”
hearing lin jing’s words, zhang jian immediately deflate like a punctured ball, collapsing onto his chair and complained:
“brother lin…”
“i think you just want to see me make a fool of myself.”
“after you killed the three island masters of yuxing island last time, it wasn’t long before a golden core late stage cultivator came and took over yuxing island again.”
“i remember telling you about this last time, didn’t i?”
“have you forgotten so soon?”
“or do you truly believe that i, at the early golden core stage, could be a match for that late golden core stage cultivator?”
lin jing ignored zhang jian’s complaints and looked at him, asking:
“brother zhang, how skilled are you with formations now?”
“could you set up a complete fourth-rank trapping and killing grand formation?”
“the kind that can protect an entire island.”
when it came to formations, zhang jian immediately perked up:
“brother lin, aren’t you underestimating me a little?”
“of course, i can set up a fourth-rank trapping and killing grand formation.”
“however, the setup time for a fourth-rank trapping and killing grand formation isn’t short, and no one will wait for me to finish setting up the formation before they come to battle me.”
lin jing looked at zhang jian and said bluntly:
“what if i help you?”
lin jing’s words made zhang jian pause for a moment, then he questioned him:
“you said, you’ll help me?”
lin jing nodded and replied:
“i’ll help you take yuxing island, then defend it for a while for you, until you have set up the fourth-rank trapping and killing grand formation, then i’ll leave, how about that?”
“you…” zhang jian sized up lin jing, then said:
“brother lin, i’ve seen your strength, and honestly, it is extraordinary…”
“but just the two of us facing a late golden core stage cultivator…”
at this point, zhang jian shook his head:
“the two of us can handle a mid golden core cultivator, but as for a late stage, let’s forget it…”
“brother lin, please don’t put me in a tough spot.”
lin jing pursed his lips and said:
“who told you there’s only the two of us?”
upon hearing this, zhang jian abruptly turned his head, his eyes flickering with light, and looked at lin jing:
“could it be that brother lin you have other helpers?”
lin jing then said:
“i said i would help you take yuxing island, but i didn’t say it had to be right now.”
“we must at least wait until we reach the mid golden core stage, and then along with madam yue qi who’s at the golden core stage, the three of us can act together.”
“even a late golden core stage cultivator might find it tough to get the better of us, don’t you think?”
after hearing this, zhang jian nodded and said:
“brother lin, if you put it that way, i naturally believe you.”
“with your strength, brother lin, plus my formations, and with madam yue qi supporting us at the right time, we can even take down a late golden core cultivator.”
“however, there is still something that i don’t quite understand…”
“why on earth do you want me to occupy yuxing island, brother lin? this is very unlike you…”
lin jing then said:
“you want to occupy yuxing island, for what purpose?”
zhang jian replied:
“naturally, to grow spirit plants, then exchange them for spirit stones to cultivate.”
“otherwise, what else could i do?”
“i am not an alchemist, i can’t refine elixir medicine myself.”
lin jing asked again:
“so, to whom do you plan to sell your harvested spirit plants?”
zhang jian continued:
“there are plenty of places to sell, like fang market, or seven seas hall. if worse comes to worst, changyun elixir pavilion generally buys various spirit plants, and they also offer pretty good prices.”
lin jing then looked at zhang jian and said:
