Qin Yan spoke with Master Roshi for a while longer. After about two hours, he and Liya departed from Kame Island.
After Qin Yan scouted the ocean for a bit, they finally found an island with an excellent environment.
The island covered about 1,000 square kilometers and was roughly circular. It was quite far from the mainland, approximately 3,700 kilometers away.
The island's environment was beautiful. The blue ocean and the emerald-green land complemented each other, forming a brilliant painting. It was the ocean's most exquisite creation,
bringing endless beauty and imagination with its diverse coastline, romantic beaches, and charming bays. In the center of the island, several towering green mountains stood straight, surrounded by many undulating hills of varying sizes.
The lush island resembled a radiant pearl set within the ocean. The sky above was like a giant sapphire embedded in the blue sea, and the clouds drifted by like white sheep wandering leisurely across the horizon.
As soon as Qin Yan and Liya stepped onto the island, they were stunned by its scenery. The golden sand on the beach was soft and fine,
while the shimmering waves continuously lapped against the coastline, hitting the reefs with a melodious sounda gentle movement that made one feel the peace and tranquility of time.
The sea breeze blew softly, carrying the freshness of the sea and the scent of salt, leaving one feeling refreshed. The island also featured a lush tropical rainforest, where the verdant greenery contrasted beautifully with the azure water, making one feel as if they were in a fairyland.
In every corner of the island, one could feel the magical charm of nature. The sunlight, beach, seawater, and air allowed the body and mind to completely relax and unwind.
Qin Yan and Liya walked barefoot on the soft beach. Liya hopped and skipped as she moved, her face lit up with a joyful smile. She was clearly enamored with the place, and she called out to him, "Qin Yan-gege, it's so beautiful here! Let's build a house on this island, okay?"
"Alright! I also think the environment here is quite good. Let's make this our home!" Qin Yan replied with a slight smile. He felt the location was perfect, and the island was rich in resources, so they wouldn't have to worry about supplies.
Moreover, on this beautiful island, Qin Yan felt as if he were far removed from the world's noise. He sensed a peaceful beauty that was very suitable for his secluded cultivation and daily life.
"Oh yeah! That's great!"
Little Liya began running excitedly across the beach, opening her arms as if to embrace the entire island to express her joy. As she ran, she let out a silver-bell-like laugh that was innocent and bright. Her smile was like the morning sunpure and incredibly warm.
Watching this heartwarming scene, Qin Yan felt immensely comfortable and at peace.
Qin Yan and Liya surveyed the island once more. The land was fertile, the forests were lush, and resources were abundant; there were no signs of human life. However, even if there were no humans there, the island likely belonged to someone.
After making several inquiries, Qin Yan finally discovered which power's territory the island fell under. Between a high price and a bit of "reasoning," they successfully purchased the entire island.
From that point on, the island became their private domain. Qin Yan even had the King announce it to the world, stating that no one else was permitted to approach these waters.
To mark the occasion, Qin Yan and Liya gave the island a name: Yanhuang Island.
Under the sunlight, Yanhuang Island shone like a brilliant gem, lying quietly in the embrace of the blue sea. The water was crystal clear, and the sand was soft and delicate, making one reluctant to leave.
And so, on a flat stretch of land on a slope near the shore, Qin Yan and Liya used wood to build a relatively simple cabin.
Obviously, a small cabin wasn't suitable for long-term living, but it was only a temporary measure. They would slowly renovate later when they had the time, eventually building a luxurious grand villa on the island.
The sun rose from the east, slowly ascending from the horizon as ten thousand golden rays pierced through the thin mist, illuminating the world. The shimmering sea sparkled in the morning light.
The beach was dyed golden by the soft sunlight, which also fell upon the stones, grass, and woods. Mist lingered among the hills, presenting a charming, multicolored vision under the sun's glow. The crimson peach blossoms looked like the blushing face of a young maiden, giving the entire island an enchanting radiance.
"Ah... whew..."
Qin Yan stood on a low, grass-covered hill, letting out a lazy yawn. His eyes were still heavy with sleep, and he rubbed them in an attempt to wake himself up.
The morning sea breeze was light and refreshing, like the dawn sunlight, parting the veil of mist to brush gently against his face. It blew away Qin Yan's drowsiness, leaving him feeling peaceful and comfortable.
He had slept exceptionally well that night. The early bird gets the worm, and everything was developing for the better.
Taking advantage of the quiet morning, Qin Yan began his Taijutsu training. He flowed through punches and kicks in the morning sun, transitioning between movement and stillness, alternating between slow and fast. It was as if a God of War were manifesting a magical intent.
"Qin Yan-gege..."
Liya had also woken up. Rubbing her eyes and stretching lazily, she greeted Qin Yan in a sleepy voice that was as hazy as the morning mist.
"You're awake," Qin Yan said softly.
"Mm..." Liya replied, still dazed.
"Go wash up and get something to eat. We're heading to the Lookout in a bit!"
Two days ago, Qin Yan had received word from Kami that the seven Dragon Balls had been gathered. Having finished his tasks, he planned to go see the legendary Shenron today.
"Okay!" the little girl said in a childish tone.
After a simple breakfast, Qin Yan took Liya's hand and used Instant Transmission to head to the Lookout.
...
Up on the Lookout.
At this moment, Kami and Mr. Popo were already waiting in the plaza.
Seven exquisite Dragon Balls emitting a golden glow were neatly arranged on the ground before them. In the center of each Dragon Ball were bright red stars. They were numbered from one to seven; one star corresponded to the One-Star Dragon Ball, two stars to the Two-Star Dragon Ball, and so on.
"Hello!"
A white light flashed, and two figures suddenly appeared in front of Kami and Mr. Popoit was Qin Yan and little Liya.
What kind of technique is this? Kami and Mr. Popo were startled, their hearts filled with shock.
"The Dragon Balls are all here!" Qin Yan said with delight, looking at the glowing spheres on the ground.
"Indeed they are, my young friend Qin Yan," Kami said in his aging voice.
"Excellent! I wonder, do you have some time, Lord Kami?" Qin Yan's expression brightened as he asked a strange question.
"Why do you ask that?" Kami blinked, looking at Qin Yan with confusion.
"It's like this. I mentioned before that I might have a chance to take you to Planet Namek. We can use the Dragon Balls to wish for transport to Namek. If you're worried about how to get back, don't be.
You saw the technique I just usedthat's Instant Transmission. As long as I have the spatial coordinates, I can ignore distance to travel instantly. I can bring you back in a heartbeat," Qin Yan explained slowly.
He revealed his intention for the gathered Dragon Balls. He planned to use Earth's wish to teleport to Planet Namek, then use Namek's Dragon Balls for further wishes. After all, the Namekian Dragon Balls could grant three wishes.
Additionally, he was interested in the Grand Elder Guru's ability to unlock potential. Having Kami along would likely make communicating with the Namekians much easier.
"What? Such a thing is possible!"
Kami was beyond surprised, and Mr. Popo stood there stunned as well.
Kami hadn't expected Qin Yan to collect the Dragon Balls for such a purpose. He believed Qin Yan was giving up a precious wish just to help him resolve a lifelong regret. For a moment, he was overcome with emotion and confusion.
