Chapter 304 The Blue-Robed Cultivator (Major Revision)

on the sea

The Water Cloud Boat finally proved its worth on the water, breaking through the surface and moving forward at an extremely fast speed.

Driven by it, the three boats behind sped forward. A group of seafarers initially made a lot of noise, and some of them experienced seasickness for the first time.

The four large ships sped across the sea for a day and a night, and finally they spotted the land of 6.

The coastline stretches out in both directions, seemingly without end.

The Kuohai tribe had never seen such a vast expanse of land, with flat farmland and unique animals and plants.

They were excited!

Shang Yanting took them to a deserted area by the sea and even gave them a bag of spirit stones. It was the first time he had ever done something so kind, and he was so reluctant that his face almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, helping others is just what we should do."

Jia Xitong patted Shang Yanting on the waist. Seeing his angry expression, she couldn't help but lecture him, "They didn't cheat us at all. Only through give and take can we get along well with the people around us."

Moreover, having more friends means having more options; if you help someone in need, they will remember your kindness!

After saying this, Jia Xitong smiled and waved to the Kuohai tribe.

Her words stirred up Shang Yanting's past memories.

He, too, had once done acts of kindness to others, offering help in their time of need and adding to their success. But what did he receive in return?

A knife in a crisis

The sarcastic remarks during times of hardship.

More friends, more paths?

Maybe.

But he didn't think so.

Shang Yanting looked at the humanoid Jia Xitong standing next to him, reached out and touched her head. When she looked at him again, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"The treasures we obtained are still inside the Sumeru Talisman."

As soon as he mentioned it, Jia Xitong's attention was instantly drawn, "Yes, yes, and there's also the baby!"

If it could be guarded by a tribe for hundreds of years, and then used to sink the entire island, it must be a great treasure!

She squatted down in front of Shang Yanting, gesturing for him to squat down as well, then lowered her voice and urged, "Take a look!"

Shang Yanting took the items out.

The object's light faded, revealing its true form—

A bronze weight?

A weight is an old-fashioned steelyard used for weighing. It is square, wider at the bottom and slightly narrower at the top, with an openwork arch at the very top, on which is carved an animal head.

"What's this?"

Jia Xitong didn't recognize him.

Shang Yanting didn't know either.

Jia Xitong wanted to ask the real system, but unfortunately it said it didn't recognize any of the treasures that hadn't appeared in the original work.

I never expected that everyone here would be such a country bumpkin.

"It's alright, it's definitely a treasure, let's keep it safe."

She had a very good attitude and casually took out the things she had found.

A heavy bronze incense burner, and a yellow futon.

"Dear host, could you please take a look and tell me if this is a treasure?"

Is it a baby?

The bronze incense burner looked exactly like the one used annually to worship ancestors when the Shang family was still in power. As for the prayer mat, the stitches were loose, revealing the cotton filling inside.

These two items made his gaze involuntarily drift to the small bag slung across her waist; his system always seemed to pick up random things.

While it's undeniable that many of these items are valuable, not everything is a treasure.

If everything you pick up is a treasure, then what are cultivators fighting over?

However, the straightforward Shang Yanting would occasionally indulge Jia Xitong's innocent and carefree thoughts. He examined the incense burner carefully for a moment, then nodded, "This is not bad. We can build a side hall for it when we get back to Xianlong Peak."

This is just the right amount to offer sacrifices to the god of talismans, so that his incense may continue to burn brightly.

"Wow!"

Jia Xitong's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Building a side hall specifically for the God of Talismans would just provide her with a base for her talisman followers!

She was deeply moved that he had thought of something like this for her!

She hugged Shang Yanting tightly, "Honey, you're the best to me!"

Shang Yanting stood there, stunned, a smile creeping onto his lips...

##

In a very remote and mysterious place

The place is shrouded in mist.

A cultivator in blue robes suddenly opened his eyes, sensing something—a restriction he had set up had been broken.

He didn't even flinch when he sensed the disappearance of the restriction and array. He simply vanished from his spot and instantly reappeared above the sunken island.

So this is it—the Vermilion Bird Seal

A vague memory slowly surfaced in his mind: he had discovered this treasure here many years ago.

The Vermilion Bird Seal was intertwined with the island, but at the time, he had only just reached the Martial King realm and his cultivation was unstable, so he couldn't remove it at all. Therefore, he deliberately set up an array here and found a group of exceptionally talented mortals to guard it.

He had originally planned to retrieve it after breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm, but he had forgotten about it until the restriction was broken, at which point he remembered it.

Three hundred years ago, those mortals would probably be long dead, but the Taoist in green felt nothing. He took out six strange chess pieces, threw them into the air, and began to make hand seals to calculate.

This Vermilion Bird Seal is not a high-level offensive magic weapon, but it is a natural material for the core of an array.

Since he remembered it, he naturally had to take it, so that his trip wouldn't be in vain.

The six chess pieces constantly transformed under his fingertips, and spiritual energy constructed numerous lines between them, creating a hazy, indistinct scene.

Just as the image was becoming more refined, the chess piece suddenly seemed to be impacted by an external force, and the image instantly collapsed.

how so?

The monk in blue tried several more times, but it was the same every time.

"The other side has a magic weapon to interfere with the simulation."

After several attempts, the monk in blue finally reached this conclusion. If not for the interference of magical artifacts, no one or nothing in the world could escape his deductions.

However, because of this, he became more cautious about the matter.

There aren't many people on the Aotian Continent who can perform calculations, and even fewer who can be considered experts. Ordinary cultivators don't even know what calculations are, let alone possess any treasures that could interfere with them.

Moreover, the deduction is a process of seeking knowledge from the heavens and asking for divine guidance. Magical artifacts that can interfere with the deduction are rare treasures, and their numbers are extremely scarce on the continent of Aotian.

The person who took the Vermilion Bird Seal is no ordinary person.

After several attempts to figure out the other party's strength, the blue-robed cultivator gave up on the idea of ​​taking back the Vermilion Bird Seal.

He waved his sleeve and vanished from the spot in an instant.

True masters have achieved a state of returning to simplicity and becoming one with all things. They are hidden among all things, their whereabouts unknown.

Jia Xitong was sitting in the Water Cloud Boat, concentrating on wiping the incense burner she had obtained. She cleaned away the centuries-old grime, completely unaware that the small pouch at her waist was shimmering with fluorescence.

She looked at the incense burner, now polished black with satisfaction, then glanced at the path they were on. "Dear host, shall we go back now?"

They still haven't found Aunt Haifeng.
