Chapter 729: Small Trouble

The old man looked down carefully at Qin Sang's legs and shook his head. "The Divine Physician is treating important people in the city, so he wouldn't be staying at the ferry landing. It's still thir...Feeling it over, Qin Sang discovered the Lei cocoon was very stable. Putting it into his Qi Hai wouldn't cause an explosion either.

However, the results of mutation are unknown, both good and bad. There is a possibility of gaining new divine powers, but there is also a possibility that one's own bloodline divine powers will be affected and become useless.

Fortunately, this kind of variation generally does not affect the final metamorphosis.

Since it was the Tianmu Butterfly that actively devoured it, and it was a rare power of thunder, the final result should not be too bad.

"Will I obtain the Thunder God's powers and become a thunder butterfly"

Qin Sang is very much looking forward to it.

The thunderclouds above the cave still lingered, but the most exquisite white mist had been consumed by the Sky-Eyed Butterfly. Qin Sang looked around to make sure nothing was missed, then retrieved the Flying Night Yaksha and returned along the original path.

After leaving Momiji Island, things became much more relaxed.

Qin Sang returned to Green Oriole Island and, after a merchant ship arrived, boarded it and headed straight for his chosen base - Five Elements Island.

Wuyuan Island is actually five small islands, not too far apart. The cultivators simply named them after the Five Elements, such as Jinyuan and Muyuan, collectively known as Wuyuan Island.

Five monks on five small islands looked out for each other, managing to stand firm even in that treacherous sea.

The cultivators were separated on five small islands because beast hordes frequently appeared here. As a precaution, they took the "three burrows of a cunning rabbit" approach. If one island was attacked by a beast horde, the cultivators on the other islands could go to aid them and reclaim it when the horde dispersed.

It sounds dangerous, but according to the Chamber of Commerce, the cultivators on Wuyuan Island are very skilled at dealing with beast tides. In fact, the casualties from each beast tide are not as large as imagined, and many cultivators are willing to stay on Wuyuan Island.

Set sail on a long voyage.

Qin Sang cultivated while observing the changes of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly every day. The Heavenly Eye Butterfly was his natal insect gu, even though the Thunder Cocoon hindered it, he could still vaguely sense its state.

Its wings are imbued with ever-increasing power of thunder. If this trend continues, it is quite possible that it will evolve into a thunder butterfly.

However, the Tianmu butterfly never showed any signs of waking up.

It seems the process of mutation is likely to be very long.

Jinyin Island.

Qin Sang stepped off the sea vessel and, upon seeing the peculiar scenery of the island, his face was filled with astonishment.

Jinyuan Island is not small in size, but it is all barren mountains and wilds. The place where the island's coastline is enclosed by stones is called a city, but it is more like a village.

The city was full of simple houses made of stone and wood, and the two wide intersecting avenues looked unusually rough.

What was most striking were the dozen or so stone pillars outside the city, each six or seven zhang high and as thick as two people could embrace. The surface of each pillar was covered in dense runes.

This is the end of a paragraph.

"Are these stone pillars the Protective Island Formation"

Qin Sang was speechless. The Protect Island Array was so crude and blatantly erected here.

The stone pillars are not some kind of peculiar material, they are just plain stones, a bit harder than common ones. Once the large formation is activated, they definitely won't last long.

It is likely that before the demon beasts could break through the grand formation, the stone pillar itself disintegrated. Apparently, the cultivators on the island had already made preparations to flee.

The streets of the city were bustling with people. It seemed that the war between the two races had not greatly affected this place.

Qin Sang tightened his cloak and strode into the city. He soon found the shop of Qiong Yu Trading Company, retrieved his token, and stepped inside.

There was only one cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage in the shop. He warmly greeted, "Senior, what kind of beast skin are you selling Our small shop guarantees to buy it at a high price..."

Qin Sang heard this and frowned, taking out his token and shaking it.

The old man paused for a moment, his face filled with delight. He hurriedly bowed, "It turns out it's Senior Qingfeng! Forgive my poor eyesight, I pay respects to my senior!"

Get up!

Qin Sang nonchalantly raised his hand and glanced around the shop. He found that the shelves were filled with animal skins of all kinds, while other items such as magical artifacts and pills were completely absent.

Here is the translated text:

Just as I was about to ask, suddenly I heard the angry voices of the Wang sisters from outside the hall.

The Wang sisters, the elder sister's name is Wang Shi, and the younger sister's name is Wang Xiang.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Her voice was a little higher pitched, and it was indeed her speaking.

"Sister, that scoundrel was so rude, to shame you in front of everyone. When the Daoist master arrives, I will make sure he gets what's coming to him..."

>

Wang Xiang cursed as she walked, stomping her feet angrily.

Sister Wang Shi sternly stopped her, "Be careful what you say! This person is a high cultivator in the late stage of condensing dan. Don't talk nonsense, lest someone with ill intentions overhears and brings trouble to Daoist Master."

Wang Xiang looked aggrieved, "This person not only publicly humiliated us, but also resorted to physical violence. Is that just how it ends"

"With such high cultivation, he definitely isn't a person obsessed with lust. He humiliated us because he is ultimately acting in the best interest of Five Yuan Island. We should endure for now and wait for the Daoist Master to return before discussing further strategies. Don't let momentary anger jeopardize the greater cause..."

Wang Shihao spoke kindly and advised them.

As they spoke, the two women walked into the shop and saw Qin Sang. They both showed surprise.

Just as the two women were about to pay their respects, Qin Sang stopped them and said calmly, "Friend Wang, who humiliated you just now"

Wang Shi glanced at her younger sister, using her eyes to subdue her, and said: "Master Daoist, please don't listen to Wang Xiang's nonsense. This concubine only went to discuss business with several major chambers of commerce in the Dongji League. There was a dispute with Daoist Cui Ji over some minor matters."

"Isn't it that simple Since it involves business with our Chamber of Commerce, you needn't endure this."

Qin Sang looked at her younger sister, Wang Xiang, "Tell me, who is Cui Ji, and what happened"

Wang Shi had a helpless expression on her face.

When Wang Xiang was called out by Qin Sang, she finally got a chance to speak her mind. She chattered incessantly, and Qin Sang came to understand the situation.

Cui Ji was originally sent by the Nine Stars Society to manage the affairs of Wuyuan Island.

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!

Qin Sang was not unfamiliar with the Jiuxinghui. When he first arrived in Yahai, he had taken their boat. The Jiuxinghui wielded great power and held an important position within the Dongji Alliance.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After arriving on Wu Yuan Island, Cui Ji did not sit idly by. He gathered the chambers of commerce from the East Pole Alliance on the island, and any other forces that wanted to buy or sell goods had to follow his requirements.

Such as the Qiong Yu Chamber of Commerce, originally only arranged a few foundation building cultivators, insufficient strength, and suffered oppression.

That is why Qin Sang saw all kinds of animal skins in the shop.

Qin Sang laughed instead of getting angry. "Just a nascent core stage cultivator, daring to act so arrogantly here"

The old man helplessly said, "Senior, you may not know that there are also several seniors on Wu Yuan Island whose cultivation is higher than Cui Ji's. But this person relies on the power of others and they fear the East Pole Alliance and do not want to offend them. Besides, Cui Ji bullies the weak and flatters the strong, he won't take the initiative to offend them, so as to maintain peace. The Xi You Alliance and the Bei Chen Alliance have similar strength to our East Pole Alliance. The three commercial alliances on Wu Yuan Island divide their respective spheres of influence and do not interfere with each other. Wu Yuan Island is not as important as those large islands, and the major trading companies sent here are not as powerful as Cui Ji, so they can only swallow their anger..."

“Cui Ji must have heard the rumors and wants to give us a warning. I knew Old Zou and Ran wouldn't be so kind as to let me cultivate peacefully, luckily I didn't go against those late-stage experts…”

Qin Sang shook her head, sat down, and said, "Tell me about this Cui Ji in detail."
