Chapter 286: Chapter 286

“Good day, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Lei.” The cultivators who met Xiao Xiaofan and Lei Xuan greeted them respectfully.

“The red crab monsters have come again. Could you please go and take a look?” A cultivator hurried over.

Xiao Xiaofan got excited. “Okay.”

He went to the beach and saw a group of crabs the size of an umbrella. His mouth watering, he killed the crabs on the shore. The Qi Practicing cultivators exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Xiaofan looked at them and said indifferently, “It’s just a few crabs. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Just tell me when anything like this comes up.”

After Xiao Xiaofan came to the island, he generously offered to kill the sea beasts getting ashore and thus won the support of the cultivators on the island.

After Xiao Jinting settled down on the island, he began to prepare for forming the core.

“We need to set up a defensive array on the island. This is the draft.” Xu Muan summoned Xiao Xiaofan and the others over.

Lei Xuan was confused. “Do we need to set up such a large array?”

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes.”

It would take a few months for Xiao Jinting to form the core. Xu Muan came to the island because it was remote. If Xiao Jinting formed the core here, few people would know about it. However, it would make a commotion when Xiao Jinting became a Golden Core no matter how remote it was. In order to protect Xiao Jinting from any dangers, Xu Muan decided to build an array around him when he cultivated.

Chen Xu looked at the draft and thought about it. “We would need a lot of array materials if we follow the draft.”

Xu Muan said indifferently, “Well, I have made preparations.”

Lei Xuan looked at the draft and said, “Mr. Xu, the array needs hundreds of Thunder Flame Walnuts. Do you have that many?”

Xu Muan took out a box and opened it. There were hundreds of Thunder Flame Walnuts in the box.

Lei Xuan widened his eyes in shock.

Chen Xu smiled and said, “In this case, after the array is built, we can hold on for a while even if an advanced Golden Core cultivator comes to attack. Mr. Xu, you treat Mr. Xiao so well.”

Xu Muan knew that Chen Xu had guessed the purpose of setting up the array. “Jinting treats me better.”

“I will help you,” Chen Xu said.

“Thank you, Mr. Chen.”

Chen Xu said casually, “Mr. Xu, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Xiao Jinting found a cave and settled himself there. Xu Muan led the rest to set up the array. Xiao Xiaojin ran small errands for them and cooked.

…

The cultivators on the island were curious about what Xu Muan and the others were doing.

“What are those seniors doing?”

“I don’t know. It seems that they are building an array. Why do they build such a big array on the island?”

“I have no idea, but they have their own considerations.”

“Why do so many Foundation Establishment cultivators appear all of a sudden?”

“What is the point of asking? Isn’t it good to have them in charge?”

“Here.” Chen Xu pointed to a spot next to him, and Xiao Xiaodong placed the flag in the spot.

Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said, “In one or two days, the array should be completed.” Time flew, and they had been on the island for a month.

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “That’s right. We have to hurry. After the array is completed, we will be able to fight against any Golden Core cultivator.”

“I’ve lost contact with Grandfather.” Chen Xu frowned.

Xiao Xiaodong frowned and said, “My transmission talisman with the sec also failed.”

When they left the sect, Qiu Yun said that the war between the righteous and the demonic sects might break out. Recently the teleportation arrays across the land were destroyed, and the transmission talismans didn’t work. It was likely that the war between the righteous and demonic sects had begun.

Fufeng Island was remote with scarce resources, so it hadn’t been involved in the war for the time being. There were both advantage and disadvantage in this situation. The advantage was that they were safe for the time being, while the disadvantage was that they might not be able to retreat in time with the major troops if the righteous sects were defeated, which would put them in an awkward position.

“Before we lost contact, Grandfather asked me to stay with you for the time being,” Chen Xu said.

“It’s still safe here. If anything happens, I will protect you,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Chen Xu nodded and said, “I know.”

“Big Brother, Big Brother…” Xiao Xiaofan rushed over in excitement.

“What’s up?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.

“I caught a big abalone,” Xiao Xiaofan said.

Xiao Xiaodong was annoyed.

“Don’t think about food all day. Spend more time on the array,” Xiao Xiaodong said.

Xiao Xiaofan scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Got it, Big Brother. Don’t lecture me all the time.”

Several Qi cultivators on the island gathered together and chatted.

“I heard that the transmission talisman doesn’t work anymore. The war between the righteous and demonic sects has broken out, and no one cares about us.”

“It’s good to stay here. The seniors are quite kind.”

Xiao Xiaofan’s menu changed every day, as he hunted sea beasts every day. The sea beasts that he didn’t like were brought over to the cultivators. The sea beasts that Xiao Xiaofan had hunted had abundant spiritual Qi in the flesh and blood. He didn’t fancy it, but it was a rare good thing for the Qi cultivators.
