When Fang Yun arrived at the dock, the Black Widow had already found a boat for him.
However, upon seeing the members of the Whale Gang carrying several bags behind him, the Black Widow's expression slightly changed: "Cultivator, what is this?"
Fang Yun looked deeply at the Black Widow. He knew that once he left, her life on this island would not be so easy without him as her backing.
However, compared to his own cultivation career, the Black Widow's situation didn't concern him much.
"I will likely be staying on the deserted island you mentioned for a long time!
As for the fire attribute spiritual materials I previously asked the three major forces to find, just keep an eye on it!
If you think it's not appropriate or safe to stay here, you can also consider bringing your subordinates to stay near that island!"
The Black Widow's face gradually turned pale. She hadn't expected the thoughts of this cultivator to be so unpredictable.
Just moments ago, he had decided to let the three major forces help look for fire attribute spiritual materials, but now he was planning to leave this island to live on a deserted island.
This meant he wasn't concerned at all about the fire attribute spiritual materials the three major forces were searching for.
At this moment, the Black Widow could also guess that it was probably her earlier remarks that had played a role in this change.
She wished she could slap herself at this moment.
Little did she expect that her honest words would ultimately lead her into such an unfavorable situation.
However, the Black Widow ultimately had no qualifications or courage to refute Fang Yun's decision.
She could only reluctantly say, "Then I wish you a safe journey, Cultivator! I will definitely urge the three major forces to diligently complete your task!"
Fang Yun glanced at her and nodded noncommittally.
If she was willing to urge them, then let her do so; after all, finding a piece of fire attribute spiritual material wouldn't be a bad thing for him.
At the very least, in case of failure in his cultivation, he would have a fallback option.
Thus, Fang Yun picked up several bags of plant seeds and lightly stepped onto the boat arranged by the Black Widow.
He said to the captain nearby, "Set sail to the left!"
"Yes, Cultivator!"
The people on the island were already aware of Fang Yun's identity after two battles and naturally dared not defy him.
The boat quickly arrived at the coast where the metallic plants were hidden.
Fang Yun ordered the boat to stay in place.
Then he went to the island, using the vine to pull out the metallic plants from over ten meters below.
He brought them onto the deck of the boat.
After completing this, under Fang Yun's command, the boat sped southward.
Ten days later, Fang Yun stood on the deck of the boat, watching as the enormous island before him grew closer.
He nodded slightly.
On this island, while other areas were still unclear, the center was dominated by a nearly thousand-meter-high volcano.
Thick smoke was continuously billowing from the crater, reaching up to the clouds.
Red lava flowed down from the mouth of the volcano.
The sight before him indeed matched his needs quite well.
Moreover, apart from the towering volcano, the other areas of the island were flat plains.
These areas would also greatly benefit his agricultural endeavors.
Before long, the boat stopped near the island.
The captain stepped forward and said, "Cultivator, I can only take you this far; beyond this point, the boat cannot go further."
Fang Yun nodded: "Alright, then you can go back!"
As he spoke, Fang Yun took several bags of seeds and leaped from the boat onto the beach of the island.
At the same time, the vine pulled the metallic plants out of the water and slowly dragged them onto the shore.
Standing on the beach, Fang Yun took a good look at the island after the boat had left.
Perhaps because of the volcano on the island, fires frequently occurred there.
As a result, although there were many shrubs and a lot of weeds on the island, not many trees had grown.
Also, because of the frequent fires, the soil on the island was particularly rich in nutrients.
Fang Yun had already begun to envision his future agricultural career.
He just didn't know if there was any spiritual energy on this island.
If there was, he could not only plant ordinary crops but even cultivate spiritual rice.
Compared to ordinary crops, spiritual rice produced a lot more Vital Energy.
These rough plans flashed through Fang Yun's mind.
However, planting these crops was not the main purpose of his trip.
The primary goal of this journey was still to cultivate a fire attribute plant.
Thus, Fang Yun summoned the vine to his side and headed towards the center of the volcano.
He intended to assess the terrain there and see if he could find what he needed.
Avoiding the slowly flowing lava from the mountain, Fang Yun quickly arrived at the volcano's crater.
Standing at the highest point by the edge of the crater, he looked down at the boiling lava pool just dozens of meters below him, feeling a bit uneasy.
If he fell into that lava, he would definitely lose his life.
Feeling the vine nearby, which also transmitted a sense of fear, Fang Yun couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
This vine was practically like an animal, exhibiting emotions completely akin to those of animals.
He walked around the edge of the lava pool and slowly made his way down the mountain.
As he walked, Fang Yun noticed that the upper half of the entire volcano had no plants at all.
Only halfway down the mountain did he begin to see some scattered weeds and shrubs.
He didn't find any of the fire attribute plants he had hoped for, much less any fire attribute spiritual materials.
Indeed, things with spiritual energy were not so easy to find after all.
After returning to the foot of the mountain, Fang Yun pondered for a moment.
First, he took the vine and went to a small hill.
At the bottom of the hill, he dug out a cave and expanded it into a relatively large space.
This would serve as his residence for the time being.
After all, even if Fang Yun didn't care much about external things, he couldn't just stay in an empty place, right?
That would seem far too shabby.
Using the vines, Fang Yun quickly completed the construction of his dwelling.
Then he used some stones for a simple reinforcement.
This was sufficient to finalize the preparations for his residence.
Once the residence was ready, he needed to consider the food issue for the upcoming days.
However, Fang Yun wasn't particularly anxious about this aspect.
After all, this was an island, and there was plenty of food available by the sea.
It could easily satisfy his daily needs.
Once he started planting crops, he wouldn't have to worry about food at all.
Having completed these basic living preparations, Fang Yun began to contemplate the cultivation of fire attribute plants!
