Chapter 372 – Small Huan Island

　　Han Li received the album and slowly unfolded it, only to realize that it was actually a complete map of Kui Xing Island, on which gold and white light echoed each other, flashing with a mysterious light.

　　However, the flashes of light were all focused on the large cyan area at the center of the map.

　　At this time, Han Li realized that the wide area occupied by Qing Yun Mountain was still far beyond his imagination, and the cyan area in the center actually accounted for more than a quarter of the entire island.

　　Han Li looked at those sparkling white points of light, and couldn’t help but half-squint his eyes and gaze up.

　　Compared to the golden light, the white light was clearly more than half of it, however, the degree to which the white light shone was clearly not the same. Some were dazzling to the extreme, while others only emitted a faint glow.

　　Those places labeled as mountain peaks were very blinding and shiny, but Han Li didn’t even consider these places as the middle-aged cultivator’s additional words rang in his ears, “All kinds of mountain peaks, Qi Refining Stage cultivators are not qualified to circle, while other places don’t have this restriction, as long as it’s a place of white light!”

　　This was exactly the same as what the young cultivator surnamed Wen had told him. But the rest were places with much dimmer white light like a natural valley or cave.

　　”I would like to ask, is there any limit to how large a cave can be opened in these places under my name?” After Han Li looked at the picture album for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked the middle-aged man in a deep voice.

　　”With your cave mansion as the center, within a ten-mile radius is your private sphere, and you can set up formations and prohibitions as you please, as long as you are so capable of circling it.” The middle-aged cultivator revealed some surprise. But then it showed a hint of sarcasm as he said.

　　”Then can the late generation choose this place, since this place is also white light, should there be a spirit vein as well?” Han Li said calmly after hearing this.

　　Then, he flicked his finger towards a certain place on the map, and instantly the white light there turned yellow. Han Li handed the picture book back again.

　　”Here!” The middle-aged cultivator’s gaze swept briefly over the place Han Li had pointed to, and his pale face looked surprised.

　　What Han Li had pointed to was actually a place outside of Kui Xing Island, where a faint white light was indeed flickering.

　　”This is Little Huan Island, the length of this island is only sixty to seventy miles, but there is indeed a small spirit vein several miles long on the island. We have set up a small protective formation on the island and built a small town on it, with about hundreds of people!” The middle-aged cultivator said with a wry smile and a hidden sense of derision.

　　Han Li did not utter a word, he knew that since the other party revealed such a look, this island would definitely not be so simple.

　　”This island can be considered a chicken rib for our Kui Xing Island. Because there is a spiritual vein on it, it’s a bit of a shame to discard it, but its spiritual qi concentration is greatly inferior to other islands, and its area is still too small. If you really want to choose this place, you certainly won’t have other cultivators obstructing your cultivation up there, but the concentration of spiritual qi is at least one-third thinner than the place provided by our Green Cloud Mountain. In other words, your cultivation speed will be quite a bit slower than other cultivators.”

　　”In the past, there were a few cultivators like you, who liked to monopolize a place for hard cultivation, who also chose this island, but didn’t stay for a few years. Just one by one came back honestly. They would rather pay a large amount of spirit stones to re-select a place to cultivate, rather than continue to stay on this island, after all, for us Immortal Cultivators, it is still the aura that is most important. Moreover, it is stipulated that the cultivator who chooses this island should also bear the obligation to protect the island. That is to say, the spirit stones for the protective spell formations on the island will have to be expensed by yourself.”

　　”Of course, you can collect a certain amount of spirit stones from the island’s inhabitants as compensation, and I don’t have to pay the spirit stone tribute to the main island every year anymore. However, let me remind you first that the small amount of Spirit Stones that the residents of this island turn in is simply not enough to make up for the daily wear and tear of the protective array. Nowadays, the spirit stones consumed by this island have always been the direct responsibility of Qui Xing Island, which is how it has been able to support it until now.” The middle-aged cultivator said lazily as he tapped the edge of the bed beneath him with his index finger in a regular pattern.

　　”Isn’t it fair to assume that if I arrive at this island, I’ll actually be the Island Master of this island!” Han Li pondered after hearing the other party’s words, and only after a long time did he ask softly.

　　”Hehehe, one could indeed think so.” The middle-aged man said with a bit of surprise. He had already made the disadvantages of this island so clear, and it was none of his business if this young man even wanted to choose this island.

　　At this moment, the middle-aged cultivator somewhat intriguingly re-measured Han Li and secretly sneered a few times. When the time came, I’m afraid that the huge consumption of spirit stones would cause this person to scream in agony!

　　He believed that in a year or two at the most, this young cultivator would return in disgrace to choose a new place to cultivate. Otherwise a veritable Lord of the island would have long been snatched up by other cultivators, which would have stayed until now!

　　”Good, latecomer will choose this island!” Han Li said without any further hesitation after a little further thought.

　　Hearing Han Li speak with such certainty, the middle-aged cultivator didn’t hesitate much. He fished out a golden brush from within his bosom and gently made a point towards the island on the diagram, and the white light on it instantly turned golden.

　　He then fished out another jade slip from his body and used the golden brush to write a few words of some sort onto the jade slip before tossing it to Han Li.

　　Han Li received the jade slip and glanced down, on the jade slip there were two golden symbols that were somewhat familiar and seemed to be his name written in the local script.

　　”This jade slip is the proof that Little Huan Island is your place of cultivation! There is also a roster of the island’s residents inside, so keep it well!” The middle-aged cultivator said blandly.

　　Then he put the album away, and the man reclined halfway onto the bed, and also waved his hand at Han Li, whose intention to expel the guest was undoubtedly revealed!

　　Han Li faintly saluted, and wisely retreated out.

　　Out of the Dengxian Pavilion, Han Li did not stay in the Qingyun Mountain to browse the scenery or more acquaintances with the meaning of the same way, but directly imperial vehicle flew away from the Qingyun Mountain, back to the Gu family manor.

　　Early the next morning, Han Li left a letter to Dongmaster Gu on the wooden table inside the house and flew towards the nearest town with Qu Soul. There, after buying a map of Kui Xing Island and the nearby sea, he headed straight for the harbor.

　　From what Wang Changqing said, in the western part of Kuixing Island, there was the island’s largest city, “Kuixing City”, where there was a “Tendu Street”, which was exclusively used by Immortal Masters to buy and sell trading items.

　　Although Han Li would like to go there to see what kind of things overseas cultivators trade and what kind of techniques they practice, his cultivation is pathetically low, and going to a place where all the cultivators congregate makes him a bit apprehensive and uneasy, and he feels that his heart isn’t steady, so he just holds back and gives up.

　　”It seems that the strength is not enough anymore, and the guts are also much smaller.” Han Li muttered somewhat self-deprecatingly as he flew to the harbor.

　　The fact that he didn’t choose the cultivation place of Qing Yun Mountain this time, but instead went to the “Little Huan Island” where the spiritual qi was thinner, was a decision he had painstakingly made in order to keep the secret of the small bottle. Only on an isolated island like that, far away from other cultivators, could he freely cultivate the required elixir, and his cultivation would skyrocket without attracting the attention of other cultivators!

　　Although in this way, perhaps his cultivation speed was a little slower, but the spiritual qi was enough for him to cultivate the required spiritual medicines. After all, he mainly relied on taking and refining pills to cultivate, and the thinner points of aura wouldn’t affect him too much.

　　Han Li flew out of the huge restriction covering the entire Kuixing Island from the harbor, and then flew straight towards “Little Huan Island” as described on the map.

　　Although this island was only next to Kuixing Island on the map, Han Li flew for a day and a night in the divine wind boat before he saw this island from the sky.

　　After circling around this island, Han Li finally looked out and saw a small pier that should be the entrance to the formation. Thus, Han Li slowly landed on the pier.

　　There were very few people on the pier, with only a dozen fisherman-like people sitting on the small boats resting on the edge of the pier. As soon as they saw Han Li and Qu Soul descending from the sky, they all descended from the small boats and came over to Han Li’s side.

　　”My name is Hei Gui, see Immortal Master!” This group of people saluted as soon as they arrived in front of Han Li, and one of them, a very burly-looking black-faced man, even greeted him respectfully, as if he was the leader of these fishermen.

　　”This is Little Huan Island, isn’t it!” Although Han Li felt that he couldn’t be mistaken, he still cautiously asked first.

　　”Yes, Lord Immortal Master! Is Immortal Master here to replace the spirit stones? But it hasn’t been long since I just replaced my spirit stones last time!” Hei Gui asked with a puzzled face.

　　”I’m not here to replace the spirit stones. But from today onwards, I will be the one to pay for the consumption of spirit stones on this small island, as this small island is already my place of cultivation, so you guys can just call me Immortal Master Han from now on!” Hearing that this island was indeed Little Huan Island, Han Li let out a sigh of relief and smiled as he said to the crowd in front of him.

　　Then in the surprised gazes of these fishermen, he greeted Qu Soul and once again flew towards the center of the island with his imperial vessel.
