311: Cuihong Qiongyu Island
Within Four Seas Sect, the status of an Elder is extraordinary; even their daily living quarters are vastly different from those of others.
Many Elders usually reside in the independent world where the Elder Pavilion is located. Li Qi had been to that world; it was not only beautiful but also filled with Celestial Origin Energy so dense it was almost liquefied. It was a rare blessed land, inspiring longing in people's hearts.
Additionally, a small number of Elders do not live in the Elder Pavilion but instead open up an independent private islet among the Four Seas Sect archipelagos outside and reside on their own islet.
Because the external environment cannot compare to the blessed land inside, there are far fewer Elders staying outside; the vast majority of Elders reside in the Elder Pavilion for long periods.
But Li Qi was different; he intended to live outside.
The Elder Pavilion's space was enclosed, making it inconvenient to enter and exit freely, and with a large group of Elders crowded together under everyone's watchful eyes, it was not convenient for Li Qi to cause trouble.
So, without a second thought, Li Qi decisively chose to live outside.
"Perhaps I could trouble Island Master Chu to help me open up a private islet..."
If he could have his own island, it would mean he had truly settled down in Four Seas Sect, found a home, and it would be much more convenient for him to do whatever he wanted in the future.
Upon hearing Li Qi's request, Island Lord Chu Luowen also smiled, "That was precisely my intention."
Four Seas Sect is enveloped and protected by a Formation, which is the work of Tongxuan Island, forming a massive defensive Formation with one hundred and eight giant floating islands as its main body.
Within this enormous Formation, several key nodes were preserved for subsequent island expansion. These crucial nodes are very precious, and each one used means one less, only to be given to the most critical people... such as Li Qi.
Li Qi was qualified to use these key nodes to build his exclusive island.
When Island Lord Chu Luowen came earlier, he couldn't discern Li Qi's intentions, unsure where this new Elder would live in the future, so he tentatively asked a question.
And Li Qi proactively asked him to help build an island, thus Island Lord Chu Luowen's goal was achieved. Since it was Li Qi who made the request, he owed Island Master Chu a favor of moderate size.
Li Qi and Island Lord Chu Luowen walked side by side to a key area of the Formation, then Island Lord Chu Luowen took out a huge Formation diagram and placed it in front of Li Qi.
"Elder Li, please see, this is the distribution map of our Four Seas Sect's Formation nodes."
"Among them, there are still eleven nodes available for selection to build an island. See if there are any you like."
Several key positions on the Formation diagram were marked with red dots, all indicating the locations of the nodes. After scanning the map, Li Qi quickly chose a suitable location for himself.
"Then this will be it."
Li Qi raised his hand and pointed to a node in the central area of Four Seas Sect. This location was neither close to the central region nor the outer perimeter, making its position relatively neutral.
Moreover, this node held significant weight within the Formation, allowing it to borrow considerable power from the sect-protecting grand Formation, making it a very suitable location.
Island Lord Chu Luowen glanced at the node and nodded, "Alright, we will build the island at this node. Afterwards, leave it to our Tongxuan Island."
All matters involving Formation expansion and modification are the responsibility of Tongxuan Island. Next, Li Qi discussed some details of the island construction with Island Lord Chu Luowen, conveying his requirements, and Island Lord Chu Luowen agreed to all of them.
Soon, Island Lord Chu Luowen departed.
After some preparations, Li Qi's island began construction. A large number of Tongxuan Island's Disciples arrived at the node's location and began to busy themselves.
Since it was his own island, Li Qi had the right to name it.
After some thought... a suitable name surfaced in his mind.
Emerald Rainbow Jade Island!
Cui, meaning emerald green, signifies vitality. Hong, referring to deep, vast waters, evokes rippling blue waves. The two characters 'Cuihong' are like a painting of rippling blue waves and vibrant greenery, making one feel refreshed and at ease.
Qiong, the name for beautiful jade, is warm and lustrous. Yu, meaning small island, implies an isolated island suspended in the sea, far from the clamor of the world. The two characters 'Qiong Islet' are like a beautiful jade island, dazzling and captivating, making one intoxicated.
The name Emerald Rainbow Jade Island, full of ancient charm and rich in meaning... this was the name Li Qi chose for his island.
"Fortunately, I read for a few years... otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to come up with a name."
Li Qi chuckled to himself.
He didn't need to worry about Emerald Rainbow Jade Island; someone else would handle it for him. Li Qi only needed to move in after the island was built.
Currently, Li Qi still had some things to do. He hurried along to the central consciousness hall and met Xiang Zhizhou, who was already waiting there.
"Congratulations, congratulations... Congratulations to Elder Li on successfully taking office."
Xiang Zhizhou's face was full of smiles, looking as if he had finally achieved his goal.
Li Qi also shook his head helplessly, "Revered Master, please don't tease me anymore... You know I don't like being an Elder."
Xiang Zhizhou rarely saw Li Qi in such a flustered state, and seeing him like this today, he found it particularly amusing.
"Alright, now that you have become an Elder of our Four Seas Sect, it's not appropriate to be as idle as before. The responsibilities you need to bear... you still have to bear them!"
"Go and take on a few Disciples, cultivate some good talents for Four Seas Sect..."
"Will you find them yourself... or shall I arrange it for you?"
