Chapter 33 Sea Origin City
Fang Yun's eyebrows slightly furrowed because Lin Yu came over and mentioned that the Independent Practitioner Alliance had decided not to give Fang Yun the spirit field near the mountaintop.
Instead, they reclaimed it and switched to renting it to him.
The rent remained at thirty percent, and the produce obtained must be sold to the Independent Practitioner Alliance.
This condition was basically not much different from the previous spirit field.
Regarding this, Fang Yun actually didn't care much.
As long as that spirit field could continue to be cultivated by him.
He would be able to harvest the Life Essence Qi from those Spirit Plants.
Whether the spirit field was his own or rented, it didn't make much difference to him.
Of course, although this was what he thought, his possessions were unreasonably plundered by the Independent Practitioner Alliance.
If he didn't show a bit of dissatisfaction, it would seem a bit strange.
"Fang Yun Daoist, this matter is where my Lin Family has wronged you.
Let's see what compensation you would like to have, as long as we can manage it, we absolutely will!"
Fang Yun looked at Lin Yu in surprise, not expecting the Lin Family could go this far.
After all, this matter actually had very little to do with the Lin Family, and it could even be said that they suffered much more damage than him.
After all, he only lost one spirit field, and moreover, this spirit field was still being rented to him, so he also didn't lose too much.
But the Lin Family completely lost all the resources of Sea Origin Island.
From now on, if the members of their family want to obtain resources, the only method is to participate in hunting demon beasts.
For a family like the Lin Family that had just suffered great losses, this was indeed a bit hard to bear.
Under such circumstances, they still remembered to compensate him, though it also had the intent of currying favor with him, it was still quite commendable.
Now the old ancestor of the Lin Family had passed away, and the matters involving Lin Zhenfeng were thoroughly buried in the past years.
He and the Lin Family perhaps didn't have such great grievances anymore.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun said, "Lin, this matter isn't really related to you.
Moreover, this spirit field is still entrusted to me for cultivation, so there's not much loss to me.
At most, it's just paying an additional thirty percent of the rent.
You don't need to blame yourselves too much."
Lin Yu sighed, "Fang Yun Daoist, thank you for your understanding, our Lin Family really had no choice this time!
Now the entire Sea Origin Island belongs to the Independent Practitioner Alliance, and we are just an ordinary family on Sea Origin Island.
There's not much we can do, this time apart from this matter, our Lin Family also hopes to interact more with Daoist in the future days, and support each other!"
Support each other?
Being a farmer, what can he support?
Fang Yun also knew that the Lin Family was optimistic about his future, hence they left a good connection.
He didn't have much contact with the Lin Family, but he did have a good impression of Lin Yu.
About such polite words, Fang Yun naturally wouldn't refuse.
He silently nodded, "Rest assured, Lin."
"Since that's the case, then Daoist, I'll head back first!"
While speaking, Lin Yu headed towards the foot of the mountain.
Their family's current residence had already moved to halfway up the mountain.
Although the Spiritual Energy was not as rich as at the mountaintop, it was at least not as scarce as at the foot of the mountain.
It was somewhat better than nothing for them.
Next, their main task was to let the family members recuperate from their injuries.
Then to recuperate and part of their personnel would start hunting sea demon beasts to slowly gather resources.
Hoping to gradually restore vitality within the family over the next hundred years.
After Lin Yu left, Fang Yun sighed and shook his head.
He also felt a pang of regret about the decline of the Lin Family.
The cruelty of the Cultivation World was vividly displayed at this time.
Later, he went up the mountain once, and found that there was nothing unusual about his spirit field near the mountaintop.
It seemed that even though the Independent Practitioner Alliance wanted to collect rent from him, they didn't really care much about this matter.
After all, there was only so much spirit field on Sea Origin Island, and what could be cultivated was limited.
Moreover, the cultivation took a particularly long future.
Clearly, this bit of profit was not in their eyes.
Maybe the change of the leasing attribute of this spirit field was simply an instinctive dislike of the land on Sea Origin Island being given away.
Realizing this, Fang Yun didn't care too much.
He checked the growth condition of the Spirit Plants within the spirit field, then used the Five Elements Plants for weeding.
While having the Spiritual Insects drive off the pests that appeared in the spirit field.
After finishing, Fang Yun returned to the valley below the mountain.
After the Independent Practitioner Alliance stationed itself on Sea Origin Island, Fang Yun didn't like to come to the spirit field near the mountaintop anymore.
Despite his strength not being much weaker than theirs, he still disliked making moves under others' watchful eyes.
Otherwise, should they encounter each other, it might lead unexpectedly to some other issues, affecting his farming and cultivation.
Returning to the valley, Fang Yun continuously exerted Mana within his body, compressing all tissues.
Then, he used Life Essence Qi to heal the injured tissues.
Besides that, Fang Yun used the Rainfall Skill, coupled with growth factor-condensed Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy, to slowly irrigate the Spirit Plants below.
He planned to carry out this task only within the valley.
Near the mountaintop, he did not intend to stimulate growth in that Spirit Field in any manner.
To avoid drawing others' attention.
After the stimulation, he began using the Gold Qi Skill to condense a large swath of Gold Attribute Spiritual Energy, then meticulously cleared the pests from within the Spirit Field.
Without using Spiritual Insects for expulsion, some pests would still appear in the valley's Spirit Plants.
These pests merely served as targets for him.
Time quickly passed, and three months later, the construction on Sea Origin Island was essentially complete.
Three docks were rebuilt at the edge of the island, each capable of accommodating large ships.
Clearly, the Independent Practitioner Alliance intended to undertake significant actions here.
Besides the three docks, five cities were reestablished atop the island.
Four of these cities resided in the four cardinal directions of the mountain range, designated for common folk and ordinary Martial Artists to live in.
The reason for granting commoners such generous treatment was to utilize the abundant demon beast resources surrounding Sea Origin Island, cultivating more Innate Martial Artists.
The strength of Innate Martial Artists, although much weaker than that of Cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
But the Cultivators who could cultivate were already one in ten thousand. In this severe scarcity of Cultivators.
To hunt more demon beasts, they had to rely on the more numerous Innate Martial Artists and the Blood Sea Martial Artists who evolved from them.
On this matter, the Independent Practitioner Alliance naturally would not give up such an advantage.
They even planned to exploit this advantage further.
Thus, to harvest more Martial Artists, it was essential to have a sufficiently large number of basic commoners.
Fortunately, the number of commoners was still substantial, even though the previous turmoil caused by demon beasts had resulted in heavy casualties among them.
However, there were still enough commoners on the surrounding islands to provide.
As long as they were transported here, for commoners, living on an island inhabited by Cultivators was in itself a desirable thing.
Thus, after the construction of the four cities was completed, the relocation of all the commoners in the cities was also accomplished.
Besides these four cities, the remaining city was Sea Origin City, previously located at the foot of the mountain.
This city, under the influence of an Array by the Alliance, directed the Spiritual Energy from the mountain to the city centre.
Allowing the city's Spiritual Energy to quickly rise.
Then, the city became the residence for all Cultivators and Innate Martial Artists.
This city also took over the previous function of the town's market.
Compared to the original market, which was only the size of a small town, the current city was obviously much larger.
The vast area signified that it also had far more resources.
Fang Yun stood at the gate of Sea Origin City, watching the Cultivators coming and going.
He could also see on the other side of the gate, goods continuously being transported in and out.
Most of those goods were marine demon beasts.
Clearly, the hunting activities for marine demon beasts had once again commenced.
And under the organization of the Independent Practitioner Alliance, this round of hunting was denser than before.
It was conceivable that perhaps one day in the future, this island might again suffer a ferocious attack from marine demon beasts.
After all, as the demon beasts increase their Cultivation, their intelligence would gradually improve.
Considering their terrifying number in the ocean, they would definitely not be passively slaughtered.
However, with the extensive foundation of the Independent Practitioner Alliance, even if the current overseer of Sea Origin Island was no match for these beasts.
He had enough powerful backers to support this scenario.
Therefore, Fang Yun needn't worry about this matter.
All he needed to do was to ensure he could run faster if it indeed occurred.
Afterwards, Fang Yun followed the footsteps of other Cultivators into Sea Origin City.
This trip was primarily to deal with the spoils he had stored in his Storage Bag for so long.
To convert them all into Spirit Stones, for easier purchase of other materials in the future.
Besides this, he also wanted to purchase two Spells.
One is a Fire Attribute planting Spell, or at least the most basic kind of Fire Attribute spell.
He wanted the planting spell to simultaneously cultivate it while growing Spirit Plants.
Thus, when the time came, his Five Elements Magic would be fully ready.
But whether a Fire Attribute planting spell existed, Fang Yun was also unsure.
If not, he would have to choose the simplest Fire Attribute Spell.
