Wang Ping has no friends in Baijiu Square, so he can't find a cultivator on the street to inquire about the news, so even if he finds out the news, he may not dare to believe it.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he felt that instead of wasting time to make friends with other local cultivators from Qiansha Islands and then slowly inquire about the place of practice, it would be better to ask the owner of the "Gold and Stone Refining Shop" directly about this matter.

After all, judging from the previous contact, this bearded old man was obviously the kind of ascetic who was obsessed with the method of refining weapons. Such people generally would not lie easily.

So there was a scene where he now gave the "Xuanjin Iron" spiritual mine for guidance.

As for whether the bearded old man asked him about his origin because he took out the "Xuanjin Iron" spiritual mine, he was not worried.

This is not something that needs to be concealed. Wang Ping even wished that other forces would occupy that deserted island. Anyway, no matter who occupied it, it would be better than being taken by the Li family.

"Fellow Dao Wang wants to find a stable and independent place for cultivation in the Qiansha Islands? This is probably not an easy task!"

The bearded old man looked at the "Xuanjin Iron" spiritual mine on the ground. As expected, as Wang Ping expected, he did not refuse his request and soon gave him some advice.

According to the bearded old man, islands with spiritual veins or spiritual energy gatherings everywhere in the Qiansha Islands have long been divided and occupied by various immortal cultivation sects and families, as well as some casual cultivators with high cultivation.

Even those islands without spiritual veins and spiritual energy gathering are mostly occupied by other casual cultivators.

Generally, it is not difficult for casual cultivators to find a place to practice. Just occupy an island with some casual cultivators. In this way, they can form an alliance to guard the island and help each other.

But it is very difficult to occupy an island alone as your place of practice.

Generally speaking, only those cultivators who have reached the 12th level of Qi Refining Stage can do this.

Moreover, if you only have an island to practice, you only have a private territory. Whether you can keep your territory depends on the strength of the cultivator.

If someone likes the territory and wants to snatch it, the lack of strength will either have to give up the island or be beaten and killed on the spot.

No one will ask about this kind of casual cultivators fighting each other for territories.

"If Fellow Daoist Wang really makes up his mind to find a stable and independent island as a place for long-term practice, I suggest you try to pay attention to the island-grabbing conference hosted by Jinshuimen. If you can qualify for the island-grabbing conference and get a place, it should be able to meet your needs of Fellow Daoist Wang."

The bearded old man grabbed his beard and finally showed Wang Ping a seemingly feasible path.

Then, without waiting for Wang Ping to ask more questions, he took the initiative to explain the origin of the "Island Seizing Conference".

It turns out that this so-called "island-grabbing conference" was initiated and hosted by the Jinshui Gate, the largest immortal cultivation sect in the Qiansha Islands hundreds of years ago, in order to select some immortal cultivators who are capable and willing to stay on the island to protect mortals.

Many islands in Qiansha Islands are home to mortals, but the islands where mortals live may not necessarily have a place where spiritual veins and spiritual energy gather.

These islands without spiritual veins and spiritual energy gathering are difficult to attract some truly powerful cultivators to stay there for a long time.

But if there is no immortal cultivator to guard it, once the mortals above encounter monsters in the sea and go ashore to eat people, they will basically have no ability to resist.

Mortals are the foundation of the world of immortal cultivation. Only when the number of mortals increases will more people with spiritual root qualifications be born.

Similarly, with more people with spiritual root qualifications, the probability of outstanding talents with three-line spiritual root qualifications and even dual-line spiritual root qualifications will be greater.

For immortal cultivation sects like Jinshuimen, most of their disciples come from mortal cities and villages on each island. Every year, disciples from Jinshuimen will go to various mortals to find children with excellent spiritual roots and qualifications for the sects, and bring them back to the sect to teach their practice.

Therefore, the casual cultivators may not care about the life and death of the mortals on the island, but they must not care about the immortal cultivation sects like the Jinshui Sect.

Therefore, after hundreds of years ago, many mortal villages and towns on islands were harmed by monsters, the knowledgeable people in the Kinsui Gate came up with the trick of "Island Seizing Conference".

At that time, the Jinshuimen first gathered representatives of various sects and families in the Qiansha Islands to explain the pros and cons of the mortals and the importance of mortals to the world of immortal cultivation, and required these sects and families to protect the mortals in their own jurisdiction from being harmed by monsters.

Later, for those islands where a large number of mortals live together but no immortal cultivators are willing to stay for a long time, Jinshui Gate took all of them for his own possession, and no casual cultivators were allowed to land on the island to establish caves.

These mortal islands occupied by the Golden Shuimen are the islands that are fought for at the "Island Seizing Conference".

This "Island-Snatching Conference" is mainly held for casual cultivators. As long as the monks who successfully qualify for the "Island-Snatching Conference" can choose an island where mortals live as a place for practice.

Of course, if it were just this, it would definitely not be able to attract a scattered cultivator with high cultivation to be a nanny for mortals.

Therefore, for monks who successfully qualify for the "Treasure Hunt Conference", Jinshuimen will not only reward certain spirit stones every year based on the size of the island and the number of mortals on it, but will also give monks who have not made mistakes during the garrison for ten years to become disciples of the Golden Water Gate after the ten-year garrison period expires.

You should know that the Golden Shuimen is the largest immortal cultivation sect in the Qiansha Islands. It occupies a large island like "Jinsha Island". The spiritual veins occupied by its mountain gate have a radiation range of 600 miles. Even if it accommodates tens of thousands of immortal cultivators to practice, it is not crowded at all.

If you can join the Golden Shui Sect, even if you just become one of the outer disciples, you can choose a place with good spiritual energy in the spiritual vein of the mountain gate and get the protection of the entire sect. This is much better than being a small casual cultivator outside.

Because of this benefit, every time the "Treasure Hunt Conference" is held, many casual cultivators will sign up to participate.

According to the bearded old man, most of the immortal cultivators who were able to qualify for the "Treasure Hunt Conference" in the past have the twelve levels of Qi training or the eleventh level of Qi training, and there are very few immortal cultivators with the tenth level of Qi training.

However, the next "Treasure Hunt Conference" will be held for almost a year. The bearded old man believes that if Wang Ping can be promoted to the tenth level of Qi Refining during this period, he will have the Black Scale Armor, a defensive inner armor, and there will be a chance to compete.

"Is the Island Seizing Conference? This can be included in the alternative plan!"

After hearing the old man with beard, Wang Ping was indeed moved.

He didn't care much about the benefits of being able to join the Kinsui Sect and become a member of its outer disciple after ten years of garrison.

After all, he has the "Heaven and Earth Shell" and the Spirit Eye Stone in his hand, so there is no need to covet the little benefits of the outer disciples of the Golden Water Sect.

However, being able to occupy an island alone for ten years to practice was indeed a great temptation for him.

If it succeeds, it will be able to perfectly solve the troubles he is facing.

However, the "Island-Snatching Conference" will not be held for nearly a year. Wang Ping feels that he can try other methods before this.
