Previously, Ji Yuan would still feel somewhat worried, but ever since he had two Island Protection Arrays, there really wasn't much left to fear.

Besides, he also had to make sure she went every day to feed Spirit Stones to the Spirit-Devouring Bees over by the beehive.

This task used to always be done by Ji Yuan, since only he could get close to that patch of dense forest—if someone like Tu Yue went, she'd get attacked by the Spirit-Devouring Bees.

But now that Ji Yuan had to leave, there was nothing he could do.

He could only have Tu Yue throw Spirit Stones from afar into that forest, or just stash several hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones in there ahead of time and let the bees devour them as they pleased.

The Frost Serpent had to go with him and couldn't be left behind.

As for it, carrying it with him, Ji Yuan would have to feed it Ice Soul Cold Dew, and when the time comes, he'd dig a Fish Pond right at his residence—the basic support from this structure would be handled by him personally.

After all, the Frost Serpent had to be fed daily, and Ji Yuan was just waiting for it to advance to a Tier Two Demon Beast, so he could sweep through his enemies with it.

After that, things like the Pill Furnace and the like, Ji Yuan also planned to bring along.

Liancheng Mountain was nothing like Lishui City—once he went over there, he certainly couldn't come back whenever he wanted, and even a single round trip would take at least a dozen or twenty days, if not more.

Such a hassle, so naturally everything he needed would have to be carried along.

Besides, he still had some matters to take care of at Wuyou Island.

It wasn't until Ji Yuan spent half a day settling everything at Mist Island that he finally said goodbye—reluctantly—to the Big Toad.

No choice, Ji Yuan just wasn't at ease unless a Spirit Beast stayed behind to guard Mist Island.

And even if the Frost Serpent advanced to Tier Two Demon Beast, Ji Yuan would still choose to leave the Big Toad behind. Why?

Because it was obedient.

It's just that this time, as he was leaving, Ji Yuan didn't forget to take along those two Yin Ghosts who spent all day sleeping in the Chaotic Burial Mound.

This trip out would take so long, plus he'd need to deal with Joy Palace—it would be hard to avoid using his Demon Cultivator identity, and even if he didn't use it, just the Yin Ghost Banner, after being improved, was already one of Ji Yuan's biggest trump cards.

Ever since he'd advanced to a Tier Two Array Master, gaining deeper insight into arrays, he'd tried modifying the Yin Ghost Array, making its range several times larger—along with much more powerful Yin Qi.

On top of that, with those two Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Ghosts… among the three arrays Ji Yuan possessed,

The Yin Ghost Array was still hands down the strongest.

Once everything was packed and after confirming nothing was missed, Ji Yuan finally piloted the Sky Raider Flying Boat and circled Mist Island a few times, eventually landing in front of the Big Toad.

"Brother Ha, I'll leave home to you."

Ji Yuan patted its big mouth.

This time before he left, Ji Yuan had given it strict instructions—not to finish off all the Spirit Pigs at once.

Because this time, there were both male and female Spirit Pigs. In other words, they could breed on their own, and as long as it didn't eat them all, the Big Toad would have an endless supply of Spirit Pigs in the future.

This was Ji Yuan's way of making sure the Big Toad had a path to grow stronger while he was away.

The same went for the beehive; after thinking it over, he spread out 400 Mid-grade Spirit Stones in that woods and let the Spirit-Devouring Bees feast at will.

If Tu Yue fed them, it would still be too dangerous.

Ji Yuan really couldn't bear for the corpse puppet who had accompanied him the longest to get hurt.

So at this moment, as he looked at the tender-skinned Tu Yue, he couldn't help but quietly add, "Of course, I'll leave it to you too."

Unfortunately, the Big Toad always responded, but Tu Yue never did.

"Alright, I'm off."

Ji Yuan turned and activated the flying boat, his figure darting north like a streak of light.

After he made his way back to Wuyou Island and settled everything on this second island, he called over Du Wanyi and Dong Qian, one on either side.

They'd both successfully formed their Foundation, and with their homes being so close, their relationship was clearly even better than before.

When Ji Yuan saw them, he told them he was going out on a mission, and might be away from the sect for a while, reminding them to be careful and such.

"Mm, I might need to go on my first mission in just a few months, and Junior Sister Du broke through later, so she can rest up a while longer."

Dong Qian said softly.

"Actually, it's not that bad."

Now that Du Wanyi had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, she'd returned to her old self. Her beautiful almond eyes squinted slightly, giving everyone a look of deep affection.

"I heard from Senior Sister Youlan that compared to monster hunting outside or other business ventures, helping with internal sect tasks is already the safest and fastest way to earn Spirit Stones. If there weren't limits, she would keep taking sect tasks forever—it doesn't even interfere with cultivation, after all."

"That's true."

When Dong Qian said this, she glanced at Ji Yuan without batting an eye.

Of course, she knew Ji Yuan probably had other ways of making money, same as her, and probably made a lot more. Just talking about those Foundation Establishment Pills she'd bought from him—that was worth a lot of Spirit Stones.

So, what Du Wanyi said was right, but only for ordinary cultivators.

For Ji Yuan and herself, things were different.

"While I'm away from the sect, I'll have to trouble you two Senior Sisters to keep an eye on any news inside the sect, especially regarding Demon Cultivator trouble—other than that… nothing else."

Ji Yuan couldn't think of anything else he'd need their help with.

Not long later, after a bit more casual chat, the two left as well.

But just as Ji Yuan was preparing to head out to Wan You Island, he got a message from Dong Qian, telling him to wait a bit.
