"The matter has already been suppressed by the pavilion master. Since you, Yun Jin, are from the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion, naturally, we won't let them act recklessly."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
"However, the issue with the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Clan is somewhat troublesome, especially with the decomposition and refinement techniques on Trash Island. You've been a bit too hasty, and there are quite a few forces eyeing it."
Lu Chuan's tone shifted immediately, his brow slightly furrowed. "You must withdraw from this matter first. Trash Island is beyond the jurisdiction of any rules, and the overseers can't reach that far. If someone truly intends to act, it's hard for anyone to escape from there."
"Pavilion Master?" Yun Jin took a deep breath. Was this the reason he was summoned today?!
After all that was said, it turns out Trash Island might be in great danger.
But the pavilion master calling him here indicates he doesn't want to abandon Trash Island. He even asked if they could be used by the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion, all to protect them.
"I've only heard some rumors about this matter. You won't be able to get involved for now, and it doesn't necessarily mean someone will forcibly intervene."
"Understood."
"You can also hint to that person about our Lingbao Immortal Pavilion's intention to recruit them. We can stand up for them in this matter."
Lu Chuan's brow slightly relaxed, his words still deep. "However, I hope he can voluntarily teach the decomposition technique. Our Lingbao Immortal Pavilion will not force it."
Yun Jin bowed his head respectfully. "Rest assured, Pavilion Master, I will convey this word for word and advise that senior to act cautiously."
"But I hope you won't reveal this matter for now. If someone does act on Trash Island, then inform them. Providing help in dire need is better than adding to what is already perfect."
Lu Chuan suddenly said something inexplicable, "This matter is not yet certain. If no one acts, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?"
Yun Jin's eyes were clear, seemingly not overthinking, full of trust. "Yes, Pavilion Master."
"If they can overcome the difficulties themselves, the cooperation will continue, still led by you, as if nothing happened today. The Lingbao Immortal Pavilion will also provide assistance."
Lu Chuan spoke calmly, with such strength already enough to stand in front of the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion on Li Chen Island.
But according to the information he gathered, it was just some cultivators in the Divine Transformation phase and a few in the Void Refinement phase.
They had no background, and even in business, they had to seek out ordinary people like Yun Jin.
His eyes also revealed a hint of trust in Yun Jin. "Remember, they are willing to cooperate with you because you are from the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion, and it is also because you are from the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion that I am willing to protect them."
"Pavilion Master, I understand." Yun Jin bowed deeply and then left.
...
Walking along the road, Yun Jin's previous demeanor had completely vanished, replaced by a deep expression.
He couldn't reach the level of the pavilion master and didn't even know what was happening.
Every word from the pavilion master was worth pondering.
Especially his own position in this matter. Since he was to inform them after it happened, why tell him in advance now?
If he informed that senior in advance, either the garbage recycling plant would disband, or that senior would come to the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion for protection...
Moreover, the pavilion master also said not to inform that person. Does he truly trust him, or is he really not afraid of him informing them in advance?
Yun Jin's brow was tightly furrowed, the struggle in his eyes growing stronger.
But if this matter is false, informing them in advance would harm them, and everything in the future would be under the jurisdiction of the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion.
Especially the matter of the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Clan, what does it mean? Why did the pavilion master send people to infiltrate Trash Island and mention it once, then never again?
"Should I inform them in advance or not?"
Yun Jin walked with his head down, calculating the gains and losses in his heart, the pavilion master's words echoing in his mind. "This matter is a bit suspicious, I need to discuss it with Luoshuang."
Although he had many connections, when it came to trust, it had to be Luoshuang.
She was thriving on two super islands, doing much better than he was.
Most importantly, the seniors' large purchases of cultivating resources all came through her.
He was merely an acquisition person, and the gap was quite significant.
He took out the Void Transmission Disk and began to connect with Luoshuang's aura. Soon, a voice came through:
"Yun Jin, what's the matter?"
"Luoshuang, there might be trouble on Trash Island. What do you think?"
Yun Jin began recounting everything he discussed with the pavilion master, word for word. The other side also fell silent, pondering for a long time.
"The problem lies with you. Don't inform the seniors of this matter for now. Your pavilion master might be testing you."
Luoshuang finally spoke, her words rather cold. "I haven't heard any rumors. If several Unity True Lords were to act, it would be a big deal, and I would report it to the Li Chen Immortal Palace."
"Don't worry about this matter. Those seniors have earned a massive amount of spirit stones over the years, and no one dares to act against them."
"Moreover, I've been trading with various clans for years, and they wouldn't allow this matter to be abandoned halfway."
"Pull one hair and the whole body moves. The interest chain on Trash Island is not as simple as you think."
"Luoshuang, the pavilion master is not that kind of person. This matter is not baseless, you..."
"Yun Jin, don't trust others too much, especially those rumors. Remember your failures from years ago."
"...I understand."
Yun Jin naturally knew, otherwise, he would have directly informed those seniors instead of coming to Luoshuang now.
"Trash Island is within the Misty territory. No one dares to openly act against it. If they offend their face, even the Li Chen Immortal Palace can't protect them."
"Luoshuang, the pavilion master only mentioned it briefly, saying it's not yet certain."
"That's good. Then let's pretend this matter never happened. Don't add unnecessary trouble to those seniors."
"Alright."
Yun Jin put down the floating Void Transmission Disk and turned to take a deep look at the Lingbao Immortal Pavilion.
His gaze was profoundly deep, his mind much clearer, and several plans emerged in his heart.
For instance, the safety of Trash Island. It was never a long-term place. If the garbage recycling plant were spread across various super islands, the garbage collected would still be massive.
Trash Island could only serve as a backup, sending people every few decades or a century to collect, but it could never be a regular place.
It was a place of mixed fish and dragons, where anyone could infiltrate.
Moreover, for people from the Mengmu Sea Region, it was a lawless place. Once someone got rich, there would be no shortage of cultivators eyeing them.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, turned, and left, already starting to plan the garbage recycling plant for Chen Xun.
Only by doing so could it truly grow big and strong, without having to look at the faces of those powerful figures.
...
Half a year later, Trash Island.
Everything here was still orderly. Messages could be transmitted using the Void Transmission Disk, and for major events, they could be directly transmitted back from Chengfeng Villa on Li Chen Island, which was quite convenient.
Chen Xun and his group had now set up the Immaculate Immortal Ridge, returning with smiles, feeling a sense of home there.
Especially the plaque, hanging outside the fence of the small village.
Little Crane and Little Chi also made one, calling it the Home of Nangong Heling and Beiming Red Lion, and built a thatched cottage.
The two homes were next to each other, just beside a small hill, with a pleasant view.
After leaving, they first went to the Heavenly Immortal Tower to retrieve those essences, then made a trip to the Tianyin Pavilion.
But it must be said, the cultivators there were quite professional, divided into four grades.
Because Chen Xun was trading with top-grade spirit stones, he chose the top-tier delivery.
The Tianyin Pavilion directly sent an immortal puppet to escort, without passing through anyone's hands, which was quite secure.
And after mentioning some minor requirements for the items they delivered, the immortal puppet fully understood and even inferred other things!
Then he headed towards the spatial transmission channel of Li Chen Immortal Island, though the price was quite steep, costing seventeen thousand mid-grade spirit stones per trip.
Pricing was based on distance and the safety of the destination. If an accident occurred, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance would investigate the cause and compensate a hundredfold.
If robbed, they would also clear the source of the incident, ensuring justice for the employer, all to maintain their reputation and authority.
