Han Li then took out various spirit elixirs and began to mix the spirit soil, arranging array restrictions in various places of the medicine garden, dividing the medicine garden into different areas.

Having done this, he took out the various spirit herbs and plants from his storage bag and carefully transplanted them one by one into the new medicine garden.

Just as Han Li was tidying up the medicine garden, the grand sacrificial ceremony on Wumeng Island began.

At this moment, the entire sky above the island was shrouded in magnificent scarlet light, and black wooden pillars appeared out of nowhere all over the island, with braziers placed on top, burning fiercely, giving a sense of solemnity.

On a huge square, three huge fire racks tens of feet high were erected, with raging flames burning at the top.

In the center of the fire racks stood a huge altar.

A statue of the Earthly Fiend more than ten feet high stood on the top of the altar, and the altar was densely packed with people, all of whom were Luo family cultivators.

In addition to them, there were some cultivators in other costumes, who were from the three vassal islands such as Hanjing Island.

Standing in front of the crowd were four figures. The one on the far left was Luo Feng, and to his right were three people: a fair-faced young man with handsome features and a slender figure, exuding an air of dignity.

Another person was a middle-aged scholar with a black mole on his face, giving a gloomy feeling.

On the far right was a young woman with beautiful features, thin lips, a delicate nose, and bright, sparkling eyes. She had a slender figure and wore a emerald green dress, revealing a patch of fair skin on her chest, vaguely showing a full cleavage.

Everyone was worshiping the statue on the altar, and these four people were no exception.

Luo Feng looked solemn, and his worshipful actions were meticulous.

The other three all had a hint of displeasure on their faces, and their movements were clearly perfunctory.

They were all True Immortal Realm cultivators, and naturally they were unwilling to worship the statue of another True Immortal from the bottom of their hearts.

As time passed, the sacrificial ceremony quickly proceeded for the most part.

The matter of Luo Feng and the other three had already ended, and they had now left the front of the crowd and sat down on chairs nearby.

"Clan Leader Luo, today's sacrificial ceremony is a major event for Wumeng Island. Will Fellow Daoist Liu Shi not show up?" the fair-faced young man suddenly asked.

"Speaking of which, since I saw him once many years ago, Fellow Daoist Liu has been in seclusion, and hundreds of years have passed without him emerging. Is he cultivating some supernatural secret technique?" the middle-aged scholar also said.

The young woman glanced at Luo Feng with her beautiful eyes. Although she did not speak, the meaning of her inquiry was also very obvious.

Luo Feng glanced at the three of them, chuckled, and said, "I have already asked Lord Liu Shi yesterday, and he will show up to meet everyone today."

"Really?" Hearing this, the expressions of the three changed slightly, and they immediately asked.

"Naturally," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"It would be great if Fellow Daoist Liu could show up. Now that the Black Wind Sea is in turmoil, we must have his opinion on how Wumeng Island should act," the fair-faced young man exchanged glances with the other two and nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Tieyan is right. Now, all the large and small forces in the Black Wind Sea are watching. After all, Black Wind Island and Qingyu Island have enormous power and strength, and are by no means comparable to our small islands. We must decide how Wumeng Island should act as soon as possible. These are troubled times, and if we don't handle it properly, the consequences will be unimaginable," the middle-aged scholar continued.

The fair-faced young man was Tieyan, and the middle-aged scholar was named Chen Zhong.

Hearing this, Luo Feng's expression also sank, and he remained silent.

"Everyone doesn't need to be so pessimistic. With Fellow Daoist Liu here, plus the few of us, we can be considered a not weak force, and it should be more than enough to protect these few islands," the young woman suddenly said.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lingyun is indeed optimistic," Tieyan said with a faint smile, his expression somewhat dismissive.

As the grand sacrificial ceremony continued, time passed little by little, and as it reached its end, Han Li's figure still had not appeared.

Although Luo Feng was still sitting there, a few traces of anxiety could not help but flash in the depths of his eyes, and he occasionally looked towards the direction of Han Li's seclusion.

The expressions of Tieyan and the other two also became a little strange.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Liu may have something to do and cannot come..." Tieyan said.

Before he could finish his words, a point of blue light appeared in the distant sky. The next moment, it quickly grew larger and brighter, turning into an extremely dazzling blue light that rolled in the air.

A roar like ten thousand horses galloping rose up, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the entire sky surged wildly, turning into streams of blue light, rolling towards the surroundings, dyeing everything near the altar with a layer of blue light.

An incomparably vast pressure emanated from the blue light, shrouding everyone below.

The faces of everyone below changed drastically, and their bodies felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Those with slightly lower cultivation bases were directly unable to move.

The faces of Tieyan and the other two also changed greatly, and they looked up at the sky.

"Mid-stage True Immortal!" Chen Zhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a low voice, his voice filled with disbelief.

The expressions of Tieyan and Lingyun were also filled with shock, and there was also a hint of fear.

The blue light in the air rolled, and suddenly disappeared completely. A blue figure slowly descended from the sky and landed on the altar. The vast pressure also subsided.

The figure was surrounded by blue light, making it impossible to see inside. One could only vaguely see the outline of a man with his hands behind his back.

"Ancestor God!" Luo Feng was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to offer a salute.

"Greetings, Ancestor God!" The people of the Luo family also showed expressions of joy, and many people relaxed and bowed to the blue figure.

The people from the other islands also hurriedly bowed.

Tieyan and the other two exchanged glances and also stepped forward to pay their respects.

"No need for formalities," the blue figure slowly said, his voice not loud, but constantly echoing around.

Everyone stood up and looked at the blue figure.

The eyes of the people of the Luo family on Wumeng Island were eager, and the expressions of the cultivators from the other three islands were much more complicated. Although most people were like the Luo family, some people had unnatural expressions.

"Although I have been in seclusion these years, I am very clear about the situation on the several islands and the affairs of the Black Wind Sea," the blue figure said.

Hearing this, the expressions of Tieyan and the other two suddenly stiffened slightly.

"Luo Feng, you have done a good job managing Wumeng Island and the other three islands these years. This bottle of Profound Moon Pill is a reward for you." The blue figure waved his hand and sent out a stream of blue light, which landed in front of Luo Feng.

The blue light dissipated, revealing a white jade bottle.

A look of joy appeared on Luo Feng's face, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Ancestor God!"

Seeing this, a trace of envy also flashed in the eyes of Tieyan and the other two.

The Profound Moon Pill is a well-known pill that has a good effect on the cultivation progress of True Immortal cultivators. However, this pill is extremely rare, and in the entire Black Wind Sea, it is probably only possible to buy it on Black Wind Island.

"You should work hard to cultivate and strive to break through your realm and achieve the True Immortal position as soon as possible," the blue figure added.

"I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the Ancestor God!" Luo Feng nodded heavily.

"Tieyan, Chen Zhong, and Lingyun, you three have also worked hard these years, and these three spirit treasures are bestowed upon you." The blue figure waved his hand again, and three rays of light flew out from his hand and landed in front of the three people.

The rays of light dissipated, turning into three treasures that radiated spiritual light.

A emerald green Ruyi, a white treasure pearl, and a yellow small banner.

The magic power fluctuations emitted by the three treasures were extremely strong, and they were all top-level spirit treasures, only one step away from immortal artifacts.

Tieyan and the other two were overjoyed, and each put away their treasures, bowing and thanking them.

The blue figure waved his hand again, and a stream of blue light flew out, landing in front of Luo Feng, which was a storage magic tool.

"Inside are some pills and resources, which will be given to Luo Feng for you to distribute, so as to improve the strength of Wumeng Island as much as possible," the blue figure said.

"Yes," Luo Feng respectfully accepted the order.

"As for the recent battle between Black Wind Island and Qingyu Island, it has nothing to do with our Wumeng Island. In order to avoid being affected, from today onwards, everyone is strictly prohibited from leaving the island, and all the islands in Wumeng Island will be closed for a period of time," the blue figure said.

Han Li's decision was not beyond the expectations of Luo Feng and others, and everyone responded in unison.

"Everyone doesn't need to worry about anything. With me here, I will naturally protect you all," the blue figure said, glancing over everyone.

"Yes!" Hearing the confident words of the blue figure, everyone present felt a surge of enthusiasm in their hearts and said in unison.

The blue figure nodded and did not continue to stay here. His figure turned into a blue shadow and flew away into the distance, disappearing into the sky in a flash.

Tieyan and the other two watched the blue figure disappear into the distance. After looking at each other, their previous doubts and other thoughts had long since disappeared, replaced by a trace of envy and awe.

……

A few days later.

On a small island tens of thousands of miles away, Han Li, who was originally sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled slightly.

Through the news sent back by the Earthly Fiend incarnation, he learned that the four islands of the Wumeng Island lineage had opened the island protection restrictions, sealed the islands, and cut off all contact with the outside world.

These were all planned by him in advance.

Sealing the islands can avoid being involved in the battle between Black Wind Island and Qingyu Island as much as possible, greatly reducing the possibility of his identity being exposed, allowing him to retreat with peace of mind.

Thinking so in his heart, he got up and came to the medicine garden in the cave.

Now, this medicine garden, which is nearly a hundred feet in radius, has been divided into dozens of areas by various spiritual light restrictions. Each area has a different environment to suit the growth of various spiritual herbs.

Some places are hot, some places are cold, and some places are directly shielded from all light by Han Li with restrictions. Inside, it is pitch black, like midnight.

Although various spiritual herbs had been stored in the storage bag for some time and were somewhat withered, they quickly recovered their vitality after being replanted according to their growth habits.

In addition, he also planted some of the spiritual herb seeds he had recently obtained, including the other mother bean from before.

Now, the number of his Dao soldiers is too small, and the role they can play is limited. Only when there are enough of them can they truly play a role.

Among these spiritual herbs, Han Li naturally attached special importance to the three main spiritual materials of the Myriad Wheel Pill, the Myriad Wheel Fruit, the Falling Ying Flower, and the Blood Crystal Lotus Root, planting them in the best places and using the best spiritual soil.

Especially the section of Blood Crystal Lotus Root that he auctioned off, he spent a lot of effort to specially open up a spiritual pool and plant it inside.

He had already prepared all the auxiliary materials for the Myriad Wheel Pill, and the quantity was sufficient. As long as he cultivated a sufficient number of the three main spiritual materials, he could start refining the pill.
