Star Saint Crystals are gemstones imbued with dense star power, highly beneficial for cultivation.
Ye Wushang had recently broken through to the third level of the Great Saint realm and could now reach the fourth level with the aid of this Star Saint Crystal. This illustrated the terrifying spiritual energy it contained.
"This Star Saint Crystal, I must have it," Jiang Li murmured to himself.
Jiang Li's current realm had already reached the third level of the Saint King realm. Ordinary heavenly treasures and spiritual medicines were no longer sufficient for his rapid advancement.
However, with the Star Saint Crystal, things would be different.
The pure star power contained within the Star Saint Crystal would undoubtedly allow Jiang Li to elevate his cultivation.
Following this, Jiang Li subtly took note of the recent turns of events for all the other disciples.
Anything that could be acquired, Jiang Li missed none.
Soon, the flying boat landed on the island below.
As everyone disembarked, they entered Fallen Star Island.
This Fallen Star Island was a stronghold of the Primordial Demon Sect in the East Star Sea Region. It was bustling with activity and surrounded by many cultivators.
Most of them were from the Primordial Demon Sect.
There were also a small number of cultivators from other forces, but as this was a stronghold of the Primordial Demon Sect,
cultivators from other forces or lone cultivators had to pay a considerable amount of Saint Crystals for rest.
The island was filled with the blowing sea breeze, the air moist and exceptionally refreshing.
The environment of the island was vastly different from that of the Heavenly Origin Domain.
Although the people were the same, the architecture, clothing, and other aspects differed significantly from the Heavenly Origin Domain.
"Junior Brother Jiang, why don't we take a stroll around?" As Jiang Li was surveying the surroundings, Xia Qingying suddenly appeared beside him.
A faint, ethereal fragrance entered Jiang Li's nostrils, and her clear, melodious voice was quite captivating.
Jiang Li looked at the peerless beauty beside him, feeling a sense of confusion.
This Divine Maiden seemed to have a special regard for him.
Since their reunion on the flying boat, Jiang Li had sensed that her attitude towards him was different from her attitude towards others.
Her favorability towards him had inexplicably risen to over 40.
For a moment, Jiang Li suspected that his handsome appearance had conquered her.
However, Jiang Li did not see any signs of romantic affection or ambiguity in Xia Qingying's eyes.
There was only a faint admiration, and perhaps a hint of expectation.
Jiang Li did not understand where this admiration and expectation came from.
Not far away, many disciples were looking at Jiang Li and Xia Qingying with peculiar expressions.
"The rumors are true, this Saint Son Jiang is truly a goddess slayer, even the Divine Maiden has fallen for him..."
"I refuse to accept this! What's so great about this Jiang Li? He's just a bit better looking, with slightly higher talent and strength? Why do all the goddesses fall for him..."
"Hiss... You're right, it's just a tiny bit..."
...
Many disciples whispered amongst themselves.
Even Ye Wushang wore a look of surprise. He understood Xia Qingying very well.
He knew she was not the type of person to be overly concerned with superficial appearances or romantic entanglements...
That Jiang Li...
Ye Wushang was also filled with confusion.
After their experience on the flying boat, the three of them were among the few disciples who had endured the terrifying pressure.
Jiang Li's talent and strength had already earned Ye Wushang's respect.
Although Jiang Li's realm was not yet very high, he would undoubtedly become a formidable opponent to be reckoned with once he matured.
'I'm sorry, Senior Sister Xia, perhaps next time. I have other matters to attend to shortly!' Jiang Li said with a look of difficulty.
There were too many opportunities awaiting him in the Vast Star Sea. He had no interest in idly strolling around with Xia Qingying...
What fun could there be in wandering aimlessly with a Divine Maiden, compared to searching for treasures?
Xia Qingying smiled slightly and pouted, "Then it's settled. You're not allowed to refuse me next time!"
Jiang Li's lips twitched slightly. Did this Divine Maiden not understand his meaning?
Next time...
Forget it, the matter of next time could be dealt with next time.
"Next, you will all wait on the island. I need to discuss the matter of the Saint Crystal mine with elders from other factions!" Du Yuanchun said to the surrounding disciples and elders.
Everyone nodded.
How the Saint Crystal mine would be allocated and how to contend for new shares was the most crucial objective of this operation.
This matter definitely required discussion with elders from other factions.
After Du Yuanchun gave some instructions to the many elders, he left Fallen Star Island.
Jiang Li and the other disciples, under the arrangement of other elders, took up residence on the island.
The island became even more lively with the arrival of numerous disciples.
"Jiang Li, you must be careful here!" On a beach of the island, a peerless beauty in a fiery red dress approached Jiang Li and said.
The surrounding disciples had all headed to their respective accommodations.
Jiang Li intended to seek a map from the Primordial Demon Sect elders and then leave the island.
"Saintess Xue, what do you mean?" Jiang Li asked, looking at Xue Yufei, who was dressed in a fiery red dress.
At this moment, Xue Yufei was wearing a fiery red dress.
Her figure was graceful and alluring, appearing extremely seductive and captivating.
Jiang Li noticed that Xue Yufei's favorability towards him had reached an astonishing 60 points.
It had been negative before, but now it had become 60.
An increase of 100 points.
Jiang Li was somewhat bewildered by this world.
"It's about Qingyu. Ye Wushang once tried to recruit Qingyu, but she refused. Now that Qingyu has fallen into your embrace, he definitely won't let you off!" Xue Yufei then said softly to Jiang Li.
Is it because of this...
It seemed Qingyu had spoken to this Xue Yufei before.
Jiang Li thought to himself.
Otherwise, there was no explanation for this sudden reversal in favorability.
It seemed this young woman was truly devoted to Mu Qingyu, but unfortunately, Qingyu did not...
"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Saintess Xue. I will be careful!" Jiang Li cupped his fists and said to Xue Yufei.
Xue Yufei nodded with a complex expression. "Also, you must treat Qingyu well from now on. If I ever find out you bully her, I will never forgive you!"
After speaking, Xue Yufei turned her slender waist and left without any hesitation.
What exactly did Qingyu say to this Xue Yufei...
Jiang Li felt completely bewildered...
Never mind, he wouldn't dwell on it. He needed to go and collect those opportunities now.
Jiang Li put away his thoughts and continued towards where the Primordial Demon Sect elders were.
After obtaining a map of the East Star Sea Region from the Primordial Demon Sect elders, Jiang Li left Fallen Star Island.
