Chu Ning refused very straightforwardly, wishing that everyone in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands would forget his previous performance in the Thousand Islands competition.
At this mont, why would he want to et any of these people?
If these cultivators wanted to form so sort of relationship, it would be nothing but tireso.
Without waiting for Jiang Hongguang to speak, Chu Ning continued:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, as I said before, everything on the island remains the sa. You should manage things as you always have.
As for those visiting daoists, you can just tell them I am in secluded cultivation and not receiving guests anyti soon."
Seeing Chu Ning speak so decisively, Jiang Hongguang naturally could not argue further.
So, he took out a tal token from his storage bag and handed it to Chu Ning, saying:
"In that case, I’ll leave this identity token to you. In the future, show this token on the island, and everyone will recognize you.
Also, this identity token is issued by the Thousand Islands Alliance to all island masters at the Qi Refining Stage.
If you encounter any danger within the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, you can inject magical power into the token, and the Thousand Islands Alliance’s Law Enforcent Team will sense it and co."
Jiang Hongguang paused before continuing:
"However, their response might be a bit slow, and they generally won’t get involved in minor disputes."
After hearing this, Chu Ning roughly understood the aning and didn’t mind, reaching out to accept it.
Jiang Hongguang continued, saying:
"Since Fellow Daoist Chu is dedicated to the path, we won’t disturb you any further, but once every six months, I will co to provide you with your share of the inco."
"Inco?" Chu Ning was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
Previously, Jiang Hongguang hadn’t ntioned that there was any inco here.
Jiang Hongguang smiled and said, "I hadn’t inford you of this before."
"Although this island previously only had a Tier One Spirit Vein, the area is quite large, and there are quite a few cultivators.
These cultivators mostly plant spirit fields and need to submit their harvest to the island every six months, totaling about 1,800 spirit stones.
Apart from giving thirty percent of the harvest as offerings to the Thousand Islands Alliance, the rest is ours."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning had a sudden realization.
Jiang Hongguang’s smile grew wider.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist’s performance in the Thousand Islands competition, defeating Jingquan Island and Beilin Island, we at Feihong Island don’t need to pay offerings.
Therefore, our inco has increased significantly in recent years."
Jiang Hongguang then tentatively asked:
"How does Fellow Daoist think the inco should be divided appropriately?"
An inco of nearly two thousand spirit stones every six months is not insignificant.
However, Chu Ning didn’t particularly care, as he could make more than that in half a month through talisman making.
Nonetheless, Chu Ning knew there should be a limit to modesty.
So after a brief ponder, he said, "How about a fifty-fifty split?"
"Certainly!" Jiang Hongguang imdiately replied.
Clearly, such a division from Chu Ning was very satisfactory to him.
Although the nominal inco of their family was reduced by twenty percent since Chu Ning arrived,
they now have a Tier Two Spirit Vein.
Although this spirit vein is not as large as the Tier One Spirit Vein, its inco exceeds that of the Tier One Spirit Vein.
Once Jiang Hongguang and his family left happily, Chu Ning returned to his cultivation practice.
He consud a Golden Orchid Fruit and began practicing the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique for the day.
[Fla Divine Wood Technique (Profound Tier Upper Grade), First Layer (174/5000)]
[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volu One, Unbreakable Tendons 740/1500]
[Refining Spirit Technique, Second Layer 325/2000]
"According to previous cultivation of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, once proficiency reaches halfway, a bottleneck will appear.
Enhancent through ordinary spirit fruits or cultivation will be impossible; I wonder if this is also the case with Unbreakable Tendons."
Chu Ning thought briefly, feeling slightly lancholic.
After all, he currently did not have any Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruits suitable for body refinent, only three Seven-Star Spirit Fruits left.
However, when breaking through the bottleneck of the Undying Bone last ti, the effect of the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit was already greatly diminished.
Now, the breakthrough for Unbreakable Tendons was quite uncertain.
With these thoughts in mind, Chu Ning continued with the cultivation of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique.
After several days of continuous cultivation, the proficiency of the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique’s Unbreakable Tendons finally reached 750.
After consuming Golden Orchid Fruits for two more days, as expected, the proficiency of Unbreakable Tendons did not budge at all.
"Another bottleneck!"
In the cultivation room, Chu Ning took a Seven-Star Spirit Fruit and tossed it into his mouth.
It was the only option he had, so he had to try it.
After consuming three, he looked at the change in proficiency with a complex expression.
[Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, Volu One, Unbreakable Tendons 930/1500]
He had expected the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit to be less effective in breaking through bottlenecks.
But he hadn’t thought the effect would be reduced to this extent.
After using three fruits, the proficiency only increased by 180 points.
At this point, he had used up all items capable of breaking through the bottleneck.
The path of body refinent appeared to be hitting a major bottleneck.
Shaking his head, he left the cultivation room and went to the dicinal garden outside.
Entering the garden with Fla Wood Twin Fruits, Chu Ning first perford the Profound Spring Youth Technique, then practiced the Fla Divine Wood Technique.
The previously hidden talent regarding the Yin Wood Spirit Body indicated that he could absorb spiritual qi gathered by wood attribute techniques used on spirit plants.
