Just as he was about to fiercely acknowledge the loyal spirit artifact as its master.
Suddenly, the Forest Sea Life-Giving Array was disturbed.
The image of Dong Liuzhi appeared in the array plate and jade key. Two years later, his appearance remained unchanged, and he was smiling and waving by the stone tablet.
"..."
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment!"
Stopping beside the stone tablet, Li Jieqing's voice resounded through the array, echoing like a great bell in the surroundings.
Dong Liuzhi's ears were ringing from the noise, and he shook his head as he sat down in the thatched hut next to him.
Before long, Li Jieqing appeared on a yellow worm from the forest path. The yellow worm swept its tail outside the thatched hut, partially encircling the area.
"The island lord is really patient. Now, of all the caravans that have come to Blood Bamboo Island, I'm the only one left."
Dong Liuzhi didn't care about being yelled at; he just smiled and spoke.
But what they said wasn't anything nice.
Li Jieqing knew that Dong Liuzhi was referring to the Yu family blocking his trade route in the Snake Sea. He didn't pretend to be stupid and just smiled and said, "These are all good things here. If others don't want them, I'll sell them to Fellow Daoist Dong at a lower price. If Fellow Daoist Dong doesn't want them, I'll take them to Qizhen Immortal City to set up a stall. I'm sure I can sell them there."
"Fellow Daoist...you really don't care about the main island of the Serpent Sea?" Dong Liuzhi's tone was subtle.
Li Jieqing said, "It's no use worrying. I am weak and my cultivation is poor. I rely entirely on a demon to guard the island. The two late-stage cultivators from the Yu family are very capable, and the Yu family is also numerous and powerful."
At this point, Li Jieqing chuckled and said, "Although we late-stage Qi Refining cultivators pride ourselves on our profound magical power, if we are unfortunately surrounded by several mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, we will inevitably face some danger."
It's naturally very dangerous.
What if we kill everyone?
"The island lord knows he is weak and alone and cannot fight against the Yu family, so why not take the initiative to win over the Liu family in the south and the Golden Wutong Master in the east? Even if it's not for the sake of competing for the spiritual land, but just for self-preservation?" Dong Liu asked curiously.
"What, fellow Daoist, you're a merchant, and you want to get involved here too?"
Li Jieqing countered with a question.
Seeing this, Dong Liuzhi laughed heartily and shook his head, saying, "Not at all. Why would I bother joining in on such a lively scene at your Snake Sea?"
"I just knew that you, the island lord, were staying indoors, so I specially sent you a message."
"Master Jinwu has already admitted defeat and will no longer compete with the Yu family for dominance over the Swimming Serpent Sea. He has chosen to withdraw, but the Yu family has not benefited either."
Dong Liuzhi didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "Although Venerable Jinwu left, he didn't sell the spiritual land to the Yu family. Instead, he went through the Seven True Immortals City and provided his land to the Seven True Immortals City, for which he received some praise."
"This..." Li Jieqing recalled the spirited and arrogant Jinwu Shangren of more than ten years ago, who even dared to bully the Yu family on his own, and couldn't help but sigh, "It can be said that both sides suffered heavy losses."
Despite their hard work, the Yu family failed to obtain the sacred land they desired.
Jinwu Shangren, displaying the ruthless nature of a rogue cultivator, decided that since he couldn't stay any longer, he wouldn't let the Yu family have an easy time either.
Previously, these two families were rivals but not at odds; now, they've turned on each other completely.
Thus, of those who pioneered the Snake Sea back then, only three forces remain.
Li Jieqing, Old Liu, and the Yu family, who appeared extremely powerful and had driven away Jinwu Shangren when they were at the height of their influence.
"Actually, there's something I don't understand. The Northern Lands are mostly first-tier spiritual veins, scattered haphazardly and without any order. Why would the Seven True Immortals, dignified sect masters, possess quasi-third-tier spiritual veins, resort to such underhanded tactics to covet the Northern Lands?" Li Jieqing asked suspiciously.
Upon hearing this, Dong Liuzhi quickly lowered his voice: "I do vaguely know some inside information about this. It is said that the potential of the quasi-third-order spiritual veins in the Seven True Immortal City is huge, and they will be able to officially advance to the third order sooner or later. Moreover, affected by this, the spiritual veins of Xiaoxin Island have also made leaps."
"Take your Snake Sea region for example. It's actually quite famous in the North. The underwater spiritual veins are quite large, and it will eventually become a second-tier spiritual land."
A first-order spiritual vein Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't even look at him.
However, the future second-tier spiritual veins will be different.
"No wonder..."
Li Jieqing thought to himself that if one is not a cultivator of the highest level, one cannot understand the scope of a cultivator's vision.
The Seven True Men of Ruyi Sect had already begun planning for events a hundred years from now.
The battle in the Snake Sea is merely an insignificant part of the process, and it is being carried out in accordance with the Seven True Hearts' intentions.
Given how fiercely Jinwu Shangren fought, he ultimately surrendered with his spiritual land. When the news reached Qizhen's ears, Qizhen was naturally very satisfied. No wonder he praised his elder brother Jinwu Shangren for leading the surrender.
"Fellow Daoist Dong, let's cut to the chase. My Blood Bamboo Island relies on the Moon Gazing Eel. If we're careful, we can at least protect our business."
No matter how you look at it, the Serpent Sea won't become a second-tier spiritual land so quickly, and my place is still far from being a first-tier high-grade one.
Li Jieqing forced himself to come over, not just to hear some gossip, but because he was busy studying the magical artifact.
"Have you found out anything about what I asked you to inquire about last time?" Li Jieqing asked.
It has been more than ten years since the land was reclaimed.
More than a decade has passed since he was chased out to sea by the Seven True Immortals of the Upper Sect. The once-common fervor of the Seven True Immortals City in the manhunt for the Blood Hand Demon has vanished.
The days of fear and uncertainty are over; perhaps he can now approach the Seven Immortal Cities.

"Rest assured, Island Lord, it has been settled." Dong Liuzhi smiled. He intended to befriend Blood Bamboo Island, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a message as soon as he arrived.
"In recent years, in addition to the disciples of Qizhen, there have been a number of outside cultivators settling in Qizhen Immortal City. The ferry crossing in the east is now usable, and even the locals of Xiaoxin Island can prepare to set sail again."
"It's just that I can't help with this arrangement. The person in charge of the tickets is a direct disciple of the upper sect named Chai Daxiu. We people from Xiaoxin Island have to go to his place to check before we can go to sea. There have never been any accidents."
"I see..." Li Jieqing's expression was normal. He just smiled and said that when he was young, he had tried to get a boat ticket in Taipingfang City, but he failed. He wondered whether it was more difficult now or back then.
Dong Liuzhi had no doubts and echoed them with a smile.
Back in their youth, which ambitious young cultivator from Xin Island didn't want to venture out?
"Island Master, as for the other one, you still need my help to find some demonic life-threatening spells."
Every time the taboo of the sect was mentioned, Dong Liuzhi's voice would unconsciously become softer.
He looked around the thatched hall before saying, "What are you looking for? The upper sect doesn't like that kind of thing."
Li Jieqing: "It's just to protect myself. Seeing that Fellow Daoist Jinwu has been defeated, even though I'm keeping my door closed, I still have to be careful not to be attacked."
In fact, Li Jieqing wanted to see if any of the foreign cultivators who came in brought with them any methods that could shorten their lifespan.
"There are some really vicious spells in the 'Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record,' do you want them, Island Master?" Dong Liuzhi suddenly said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist... what do you think?" Li Jieqing asked expressionlessly.
Back then, the Blood-Handed Demon spread his martial arts techniques far and wide, leaving a poisonous legacy throughout the world. Although Daoist Wangyue lived in seclusion, he happened to obtain a copy.
Judging from Dong Liuzhi's appearance, either he's bluffing him or he has other methods.
Bring it up quickly.
