Chapter 79 Dominate the Seven Islands After distributing the magical weapons, Ye Linyuan put away the remaining magical weapons and looked at the rest of the list. In addition to spiritual veins and magical instruments, the Lin family also has some special industries and resources. Among them, the six islands have a total of more than 800 acres of fertile land that can be used to grow spiritual rice. There are also some mineral veins and special resources that are also beneficial to the cultivation of spiritual fields, and the most precious one is a first-grade medium-quality sea ship. The ship was eighty feet in size and was built with a first-grade, medium-quality spiritual wood as its keel. The entire ship consumed more than ten low-quality spiritual woods and its cost was at least no less than two hundred spirit stones. Legend has it that this boat was obtained by the ancestors of the Lin family. A water-avoiding formation and a set of wind-attribute formations were set up on it, allowing it to travel more than a thousand miles a day in the sea. In addition, the treasure ship is equipped with a monster-hunting crossbow. The crossbow is more than ten feet in size, and the crossbow arrows it is equipped with are thicker than an adult's arm. It is made of first-grade spiritual iron and is powerful enough to kill monsters in the late stage of Qi training. "Although this first-level treasure ship is not big, we can go to the sea to hunt monsters in the future." Looking at the treasure ship of the Ye family, Old Man Ye couldn't help but smile. With such a treasure ship, the Ye family will be able to hunt monsters around the Seven Islands of Star Lake in the future. After all, in the shallow sea of the Qinghe Islands, there are basically very few monsters in the late stage of Qi training. If they are bold enough, they can even steer this treasure ship to the deep sea outside the Qinghe Islands. There are a large number of demons living in the deep sea. As long as they can hunt down an ordinary demon beast, it may be equivalent to the income of a small Qi-cultivating tribe for several years.
Ye Linyuan also understood this, but still said: "You don't have to take risks in the deep sea, but you can hunt around the Qinghe Islands and test your maritime combat capabilities." "If a war between humans and demons breaks out in a few years, this treasure ship might be our guarantee of survival." Old Man Ye nodded, and the inventory of the treasures they had seized was complete. Next, Old Man Ye took out the map of the Seven Islands of Xinghu Lake and said solemnly, "We have already taken over six islands. What should we do next?" Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. Now that we have conquered the island, we must arrange people to defend and utilize the spiritual veins. Otherwise, what’s the difference between this and wasting it? Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Linze, Fifth Aunt, and Zhou Mingfu, each of them will be assigned an island, and each of them will be assigned ten Taoist soldiers. It should not be a problem to defend a spiritual island." Old Man Ye nodded, then looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" Once they agreed, they would have an island to practice on all by themselves. Naturally, everyone had no objections and agreed on the spot. Seeing this, Ye Linyuan called Zhou Mingfu and Zhou Yuwan in, told Zhou Mingfu about this, and then asked, "Are you willing to guard an island for my Ye family?" Zhou Mingfu immediately showed his joy, bowed solemnly and said: "Since the master needs it, then this old man will naturally lend a hand." Ye Linyuan nodded, took out a deep blue flying sword, threw it to Zhou Yuwan and said, "This middle-grade flying sword will be given to Zhou Yuwan as a reward for your merits." Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingfu excitedly pulled Zhou Yuwan to salute and said, "Thank you for the reward, young master." During the two wars, Zhou Mingfu witnessed Ye Linyuan's strength and potential, and deeply understood that the man in front of him was the real leader of the Ye family and an extremely rare genius. His life span was already limited, and before he died, he tried his best to make his daughter Zhou Yuwan become Ye Linyuan's confidant or even concubine. This had become his greatest wish. Seeing Ye Linyuan taking care of Zhou Yuwan at this time, his heart became more and more excited. He immediately saluted Ye Linyuan decisively and said, "Young master, don't worry. I will protect the Ye family island to the death." Ye Linyuan nodded, and let Zhou and the other two go down, and then looked at Old Man Ye. Seeing this, the old man Ye said, "Second Brother, Third Brother, and Linze, I plan to find one or two female monk companions for each of you in a while, and I would like to ask for your opinions here." When everyone heard this, they were all slightly stunned, obviously unable to react. Seeing this, Old Man Ye spoke again, "In recent years, the number of independent cultivators has increased, and the cost of seeking female cultivators has been greatly reduced. In fact, as long as you provide some cultivation resources, many female cultivators are willing to marry you." "Now that my Ye family is in charge of the seven islands, there is no shortage of spiritual veins for cultivation. You are both cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining, so it is time for you to find a female cultivator companion."
At this point, Old Man Ye couldn't help but stroke his beard and smiled, "When cultivators give birth to offspring, the probability of them having spiritual roots is at least 30%. Now that my Ye family is small, you should all contribute." Upon hearing this, everyone in the Ye family fell into deep thought. Ye Qinchu and Ye Qinyang both have concubines, but they are all mortal concubines. The probability of their offspring giving birth to spiritual roots is extremely low. Ye Linze has not had any concubines in recent years. For them, marrying a monk companion is indeed a rare and beautiful thing. Moreover, from now on, the Ye family's core will be Chixing Island. They will be responsible for guarding the island and will not return to Yejia Island under normal circumstances. In this way, even if they seek a female cultivator as a companion, the existence of the spiritual field on Yejia Island will not be exposed. So now is indeed a good time to marry a Taoist partner. Thinking of this, Ye Qinyang said, "Father can arrange this matter, but we still need to meet with the female cultivator before that." "Easy to handle." Old Man Ye smiled and said, “I will go to Qinghe Xianfang to contact a matchmaker in a while. With the current conditions of our Ye family, it should not be difficult to pick some high-quality female cultivators.” Everyone smiled when they heard this. A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining is no longer considered the lowest level in the world of immortal cultivation, and it is generally not too difficult for them to find a Taoist partner. Not to mention that their Ye family is now considered a large Qi-cultivating family, and in their previous lives, the family members all had houses and cars. Seeing that the three agreed, Old Man Ye looked at Ye Huaixue and Ye Qinxin and asked, "Do you two have any ideas?" Ye Qinxin shook her head and then said, "For female cultivators, having children is a waste of time. My daughter wants to go further." Ye Huaixue lowered his head, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Huaixue wants to wait a few more years to see if he can find his lover." In this regard, Old Man Ye did not force it, as his ideas were rather old-fashioned. In his eyes, after his daughter got married, the children she gave birth to would be of a different family. They could be used as a helper but it would be difficult for them to confide in each other. Even if the man married into his family, they might not be able to share the same beliefs.
