Forge your destiny and become an immortal, starting with hunting demons in the deep sea.

Chapter 20 I will focus my energy on cultivation!

In the blink of an eye.

Seven days later, on Golden Willow Island.

As the main island of the Gong family, a clan with a secret history, Golden Wutong Island is the largest island within thousands of miles, about 200 miles wide from north to south and about 350 miles long from east to west.

The island is fertile and rich, containing not only a second-order spiritual vein and several first-order spiritual veins, but also a kind of spiritual wood called "Lingwu Wood".

This wood is tough and lightweight, making it an excellent material for building spirit boats and ships. Ever since the Gong family became a secret treasure family and occupied this island, they have used this spirit wutong wood as a foundation to rapidly accumulate the family's strength.

In less than a hundred years, the Gong family has developed into the largest cultivation force within a radius of three thousand miles, with several other spiritual families as vassals and followers.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Gong family's territory at Yuntong Mountain.

Outside a villa built by the water.

"Brother Chen, from today onwards, this courtyard is yours!"

A member of the Gong family led Chen Ye to the gate of the villa, then took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ye.

"Such a large courtyard, and it's even close to a first-tier spiritual vein. The host's generous gift is truly undeserved..."

Chen Ye stroked the jade pendant in his hand, which was as delicate as a woman's skin. His words were humble and measured, showing no sign of arrogance or taking advantage of the favor.

Gong Chengyuan was a reliable person. As soon as the Cangyun returned to Jinwu Island yesterday, he immediately reported what happened on the ship to his family.

In just one night, the Gong family's reward for Chen Ye was announced.

It should be noted that while members of the Gong family from outside the clan, such as Chen Ye, had separate residences within the family, they were not qualified to live in a separate courtyard of this size.

Not to mention, because of the first-order spiritual vein, the spiritual energy in this courtyard is much denser than Chen Ye's previous residence!

This is just one of the rewards.

"Brother Chen, why be so modest?"

The Gong family member who was leading the way cupped his hands in thanks to Chen Ye, expressing his gratitude.

"If it weren't for Brother Chen's heroic efforts to turn the tide, the Cangyun would probably have been seized by that despicable Zhou family long ago, and Brother Chengyuan would probably have also... In any case, Brother Chen deserves it."

"Oh, right!" He paused, then pointed to the token in Chen Ye's hand.

"This token not only controls the magic array in the courtyard, but it also serves as your identity token. It contains three hundred family contribution points. In addition, with this token, you can also collect two bottles of high-grade spirit-enhancing pills from the family's Hall of Affairs every month..."

Superior Spirit Enhancement Pill?

Chen Ye's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

The quality of pills used by cultivators is divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade, etc. But no matter what kind of pill it is, once the quality reaches high-grade, its value will increase significantly.

Take this Spirit Enhancement Pill, for example. A bottle of low-grade pills costs only five spirit stones, a bottle of mid-grade pills costs seven, and a bottle of high-grade pills costs twenty spirit stones.

In other words, Chen Ye doesn't have to do anything now, and he can receive forty spirit stones of cultivation resources from the Gong family every month!

For a cultivator in the early stage of Spirit Gathering, this is definitely not a small amount.

As for the uses of family contributions, they are even more extensive.

For example, some precious magical artifacts and breakthrough pills stored in the Gong family's treasury can only be exchanged using contribution points.

In addition, one can use contribution points to go to the Gong family's library to learn magic, which is what Chen Ye truly values.

Since the mutiny on the Cangyun that night, Chen Ye felt that his attack methods were somewhat limited, consisting mainly of using divine sense to control weapons and combining them with secret techniques to attack the soul.

While this combination is effective, there's always a chance of something going wrong!

What if Chen Ye encounters an opponent with an equally powerful soul, or a cultivator with a soul-defense magic weapon?

So on his way back, Chen Ye planned to learn a few self-defense spells when he had time, and he didn't expect the opportunity to come to him so quickly.

Of course, Chen Ye was also very clear that although these things were given to him as a reward, they were also meant to be seen by other members of the clan who did not share the same surname.

As long as you are loyal to the Gong family, you can have all the cave dwellings, spirit stones, and cultivation resources you need! You outsiders and rogue cultivators, why don't you hurry up and serve the Gong family to the death?

"Looks like all that's missing is women..."

Chen Ye muttered something, and at that moment, the Gong family member who had come to lead the way also bowed to him and said goodbye.

"Brother Chen, why don't you go inside this villa and take a look? You might discover some other surprises."

He gave Chen Ye a knowing smile that any man would understand, and then quickly left, as if afraid that staying there would get in Chen Ye's way.

"Is there another surprise?"

Chen Ye was taken aback. He glanced at the secluded courtyard, which resembled a pavilion shrouded in mist, and seemed to understand the meaning behind the smiles of the Gong family members before they left.

Using the token to deactivate the formation, Chen Ye stepped forward, pushed open the door, and looked inside.

There were indeed quite a few surprises here, a total of four!

Four beautiful maids with excellent figures and fair skin stood gracefully in front of the door. As soon as Chen Ye entered, they immediately bowed gracefully and said in unison, soft and sweet words.

"This servant respectfully welcomes the Immortal Master back to the manor..."

So this is what the surprise was all about!

Seeing this scene before him, Chen Ye was at a loss for words.

In fact, he had experienced these things before. In his previous life, he took clients to a certain club to select concubines. How similar was the scene now?

However, those women of the night, who had been through so much, were already black inside and white on the outside. How could they compare to these young girls who had been specially trained by the Gong family?

Each of them was graceful and poised, and in Chen Ye's eyes, they were all virgins who had never been with men.

It's such a pity...

Chen Ye shook his head inwardly. These women were all ordinary mortals. No matter how beautiful their appearances were, they would all be pink skeletons a hundred years from now.

Instead of wasting energy on them, it's better to focus on cultivation!

"You may all leave."

Chen Ye's expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Yes... Immortal Master."

Although the four maids were unwilling, they had been raised and trained by the Gong family since childhood and knew one thing well: they could never disobey the Immortal Master's will.

All four maids withdrew, and Chen Ye wandered around the villa alone.

Compared to his previous courtyard which was only half an acre in size, this villa covers nearly ten acres, and its various architectural landscapes are magnificent and grand.

The pavilions and towers were arranged in a well-organized manner, and there were also artificial hills, bamboo forests and other scenery, which made Chen Ye feel as if he were visiting ancient buildings from his previous life.

Unknowingly, Chen Ye arrived at the backyard and discovered a spring, bubbling with clear water. As he approached, the spiritual energy of the surrounding world became increasingly abundant.

"Could it be that this spring is secretly connected to the first-tier spiritual vein underground?"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow. No wonder the spiritual energy in this courtyard is so rich. When he gets tired of cultivating in the future, he can soak in this spring water that contains spiritual energy. It would be so refreshing!

After familiarizing himself with the surroundings, Chen Ye went to the quiet room and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

His cultivation level is only at the third level of the Spirit Gathering stage, and he is far from being able to enjoy himself. He needs to focus all his energy on cultivation.

However, Chen Ye was unaware that his behavior had also caught the attention of some scheming members of the Gong family.
