"Hey, have you heard that Senior Brother Xu has left the sect?"

After hearing what Li Qiang said, Chen Shan frowned and said, "Leaving the sect is no small matter. Why would you leave when everything is fine?"

"His cultivation has been stagnant and there is no hope for him to achieve great success. It would be better for him to leave early and live a comfortable life for a few decades." Li Qiang answered nonchalantly.

As he spoke, he casually glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao who was in a daze beside him, and curled his lips: "If you ask me, people should know themselves. If they can't practice, they should learn to give up. Otherwise, they will achieve nothing in the end and just waste their time."

Li Qiang would always roll his eyes at Lin Xiaoxiao, especially when everyone was talking about cultivation. As long as Lin Xiaoxiao was present, he would be particularly loud.

But what he said did make some sense. When his original body joined the sect, his cultivation level was only the second level of Qi Refining.

Now, fifty years have passed, and his cultivation is still at the second level of Qi Refining.

Even someone with the worst spiritual roots should be able to reach the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining in fifty years.

This made the original body a weirdo among the outer disciples of Tianxuan Sect.

After Lin Xiaoxiao came here, she discovered that the reason why her original body's cultivation had stagnated was because it was not a human at all! It was actually a Shouyu turtle!

The so-called longevity turtle has a long life, shapes the island, and brings blessings to all living things.

The Shouyu turtle was not born and raised in this world, because the small world it lives in has been invaded by the outside world.

It began to force its tribe members to make a contract, and its mother, in order to avoid those outsiders who wantonly invaded the tribe, risked her life to throw it into this strange world.

The original body was frightened by the invading outsiders, so it came to this world, left its island and mingled with humans.

All it knows is that as long as it stays away from the island, humans will not be able to detect its true identity.

However, the Shouyu turtle's lifestyle is no different from that of humans, but its cultivation is inextricably linked to its island.

The island is the true body of the longevity turtle, and only by protecting and managing the island well can you achieve your goal.

The creatures on the island give back a large amount of spiritual energy to it, thereby improving its own cultivation.

Far away from the island, the spiritual power absorbed is insignificant and meaningless to its cultivation.

The spiritual energy required to cultivate one level is like a bowl of water. This is the way other people practice.

But for it, the spiritual energy required is as huge as a huge water tank.

Along the way, for fifty years, the original body, as an outer disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, had never returned to his island once, which also caused his cultivation to stagnate.

After understanding the reason, Lin Xiaoxiao would certainly not continue to linger in the sect like her original self.

Not to mention that no one in this world knows about the species of Shouyu Turtle, even if someone does know about it, it can't go on like this. This is the world of cultivating immortals, and the strong are respected.

You have to improve your own strength to protect yourself no matter what.

What's more, as an ordinary worker on the blue planet, suddenly one day I have a long life and an island of my own. Only a fool would refuse such a great thing.

"Thank you for your advice, senior brothers. It's like an epiphany for me. I'll go find a way out right away." Lin Xiaoxiao bowed solemnly and sincerely to the two senior brothers, then turned and left.

Li Qiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Shan who was also stunned by Lin Xiaoxiao's behavior.

He touched his nose sheepishly, as if he wanted to explain: "I just said it casually, why would she be so upset."

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was leaving, didn't know that her sudden action made her two senior brothers feel guilty.

Then he went straight to the Deacon Hall of Tianxuan Sect.

Tianxuan Sect is located on the coastal continent, and together with the large and small islands on the sea, it forms a continent of its own, called Wanyuzhou. It is one of the nine major states.

There are four major forces in Wanyuzhou, namely the Tianxuan Sect, and the three major families of Bai, Zhao, and Xu.

The Tianxuan Sect stands on the seashore, overlooking the countless large and small islands, and naturally controls most of the sphere of influence on the sea.

When Lin Xiaoxiao walked into the Deacon Hall, she saw a bustling scene with people coming and going, which made her dizzy.

She had no choice but to pull a senior sister next to her and asked with a smile: "Senior sister, where should I go to claim the island?"

The person who was stopped looked at Lin Xiaoxiao curiously, then raised his hand and pointed to the distance: "Go in that direction, to the innermost room."

The Tianxuan Sect has always encouraged its disciples to garrison on the islands, which can both bring income to the sect and reduce its expenses.

However, there are no spiritual veins on many islands, and the spiritual energy is far less abundant than that in the sects.

Moreover, the islands are often attacked by sea beasts. Taking these factors into consideration, many disciples choose to complete their tasks within the sect and enjoy the sect's treatment.

Over the years, there have been very few disciples who applied to garrison on the island. Today, when I met someone who came to inquire, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After thanking him, Lin Xiaoxiao walked in the direction indicated and went all the way to the innermost room.

When I pushed open the door, I saw a small room with only an antique table. A deacon was napping in front of the table, his head supported by his elbows, as if he was immersed in a dream.

Unlike the bustling lobby, this place is very deserted.

"This is the place to apply for island garrisoning. If you want to do anything else, you've come to the wrong place."

Deacon Zhang raised his eyelids and slowly looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with an indifferent expression and a hint of impatience in his words, as if he was displeased at being disturbed.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked to the table and quickly explained: "Senior, I'm here to apply for garrisoning the island."

Her tone was respectful and her eyes were firm, as if expressing her determination and sincerity.

The sect's disciples really don't want to be stationed on the island. Look how idle this senior is. He just opens his mouth and directs people to other places.

Deacon Zhang sat up upon hearing this and said lazily and casually, "Show me your identity jade token."

Lin Xiaoxiao obediently handed her identity jade card to the deacon.

After Deacon Zhang took it, he used his spiritual sense to examine it carefully.

Lin Xiaoxiao, joined the sect for fifty years, is at the second level of Qi Refining, has made no progress, has not violated any sect rules, and has not received any sect rewards.

There is no merit, no fault, and no progress. It is a complete "three-no" product.

It was the first time that Deacon Zhang saw a disciple with such a low sense of presence. He felt that this disciple came to the sect just to pass the time. Who on earth accepted him as a disciple?

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by Deacon Zhang. It was not her who did it. It was all the original body's fault.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly: "Senior, I know I am stupid, so I want to apply to garrison the island and make some contributions to the sect."

"Well, you're thoughtful." Deacon Zhang said, taking out a token and inserting it into the groove on the wall behind him.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and a dynamic sea chart appeared on the wall.

The sea surface is deep blue, with islands of various sizes appearing in it, some as huge as mountains, and some as small as grains of sand.

"Look which one you want to choose? The one with a green light on it is unmanned."

Lin Xiaoxiao observed carefully, she wanted to find her home island on the map.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao also wanted to thank the original body. Fortunately, it just left the island there and ignored it.

After fifty years, it was naturally placed under the jurisdiction of the Tianxuan Sect.

Otherwise, if an island suddenly appeared, the Tianxuan Sect would definitely send people to investigate and find out the reason. It would be impossible to station troops there immediately.

After searching carefully for a long time, Lin Xiaoxiao finally found an island that was suspected to be her real body.

It was because of her low level of cultivation that her main island seemed small compared to other islands.

Pointing to the green dot on the map, Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Senior, can you zoom in on this place? I want to take a closer look."

Deacon Zhang raised his hand and tapped lightly, and other places on the nautical chart disappeared, leaving only the area pointed by Lin Xiaoxiao, covering the entire wall.

"Senior, I've decided. This is the one." After zooming in, Lin Xiaoxiao was finally sure that this island was her original island. Not to mention anything else, just from the shape, there was no doubt about it.

"Guiling Island is not very large, the land is extremely barren, and planting is difficult. Are you sure?" Deacon Zhang gave a brief description of the situation on Guiling Island.

It's not that he is kind, but because this Guiling Island has already experienced two disciples stationed there.

The two disciples originally saw Guiling Island as having a good geographical location. It was not far from the sect and other islands, and transportation was relatively convenient.

Who would have thought that after arriving at Guiling Island, they would face all kinds of difficulties. Nothing they could grow worked and it was difficult to make ends meet.

They cried and shouted to leave the island, return to the sect, or change to another island.

"Disciple is sure." Lin Xiaoxiao quickly expressed his opinion.

Deacon Zhang picked up Lin Xiaoxiao's identity jade card and wrote down the relevant information.

Then he handed the identity jade card and an unidentified object to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Starting from next year, you will have to pay 500 low-grade spirit stones to the sect every year. From now on, the sect will no longer provide you with the monthly allowance for sect disciples. You can't regret it now that you have made up your mind."

After saying this, fearing that Lin Xiaoxiao would go back on her word, Deacon Zhang waved his sleeves and shoved Lin Xiaoxiao out the door.

Looking at the closed door in front of her, Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and pushed the door open, only poked her head in and blinked: "Senior, I still have something to say."
