A large flying boat was flying over the sea, and the sea below could be seen from the windows of the cabin.
The North Sea is an extremely dangerous sea area with a large number of sea beasts. Even flying in the air is dangerous.
Among the sea beasts, not to mention the third-grade monsters, even the second-grade sea beasts have the ability to attack the sky.
But this large flying boat was sailing safely, and no sea beasts attacked it.
Because in front of the large flying boat, there was a command flag, and the flag was emitting strange waves, letting all the sea beasts nearby understand that this was a protected flying boat.
In addition to the cargo hold, the upper two floors of this large flying boat are passenger cabins, and the lower floor is a low-level cabin, which mostly occupies cultivators in the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages.
The cabins on the upper level consist of ten suites, which are used by monks of status or monks in the Jindan stage.
Due to the chaos on Tianhai Island, many cultivators are trying to find ways to leave Tianhai Island, especially those who have connections with Beihai Trading Company. Even mortals are trying their best to get on the Beihai Trading Company's commercial flying boat.
This is also the only way to leave Tianhai Island safely. Otherwise, one will either be oppressed by the Mingxin Sect and have no way to escape, or surrender or be killed.
In Suite No. 2 on the upper cabin of the Beihai Trading Company's commercial flying boat, Elder Yin, Elder Ren, and Ren Fei'er's family of three were resting.
At this time, a family of three was sitting in the living room. The eyes of the two Jindan cultivators, Elder Yin and Elder Ren, were full of confusion and worry.
The Beihai Trading Company, which had been unable to be contacted in the past, actually took the initiative to find them this time and gave them a boat ticket.
You should know that in today's Tianhai Island, tickets for Beihai Trading Company's commercial flying boat are really hard to come by. Currently, almost all the people picked up by Beihai Trading Company are the personnel and family members left behind by the trading company itself on Tianhai Island.
It is extremely difficult for other cultivators to board the commercial flying boat of Beihai Trading Company, mainly because Beihai Trading Company does not want to have any disputes with Mingxin Sect which has occupied Tianhai Island. The company still focuses on business.
After getting the boat tickets, the first person Elder Yin thought of was probably his daughter Yin Shilan. It should be that Yin Shilan had secured the status of a true disciple of Qianhuan Sect, and she used her status to get the boat tickets for their family.
In the past few days on Tianhai Island, due to the persecution of Mingxin Sect, Tianhai Sect and Xuanming Sect have long been in name only.
Elder Yin and Elder Ren escaped from their respective sects. The two Jindan cultivators brought their little daughter Ren Feier and practiced based on their previous accumulation, but this was not a long-term solution.
The Mingxin Sect is the only dominant sect, and even the survival of the two Jindan cultivators is becoming increasingly difficult.
Not to mention that the golden elixir resources on Tianhai Island are already scarce. Now, how can Elder Yin and Elder Ren, who are almost equivalent to independent cultivators, obtain golden elixir resources? They have already thought about leaving.
They even planned to force their way across the North Sea if they could no longer wait for the North Sea Trading Company's commercial flying boat. If it were just the two of them, they would have done so long ago, but with their little daughter Ren Fei'er around, they had to consider her and kept delaying.
Just when they were at a loss, Beishu Trading Company sent a boat ticket, and Elder Yin and Elder Ren quickly took Ren Feier onto Beihai Trading Company's commercial flying boat.
But as soon as they got on the flying boat, strange things happened, which made Elder Yin and Elder Ren both puzzled and worried.
The person in charge of safety on the commercial flying boat is a late Jindan cultivator named Jiang. With such strength, he has almost no rivals on Tianhai Island except for the fake infant ancestor Zang of Mingxin Sect.
Even the fake infant Zang Patriarch of Mingxin Sect did not dare to attack the flying boat of Beishu Trading Company. Mingxin Sect was no match for the Seven Sects of Tianhai Island, but Beishu Trading Company had the power of Nascent Soul Patriarchs. Any random Nascent Soul Patriarch could bring about the destruction of Mingxin Sect.
With Master Jiang's strength and the background of Beihai Trading Company, his status and position are much higher than those of Elder Yin and Elder Ren, two Jindan cultivators.
However, Monk Jiang was extremely polite to Elder Yin and Elder Ren, and personally arranged Suite No. 2 for their family, which was the best suite except Suite No. 1 where Monk Jiang himself lived.
After that, servants from the North Sea Trading Company would deliver spiritual food every day. Although the spiritual food was all second-grade, it was definitely the best treatment during this kind of voyage.
It was precisely because Monk Jiang was too nice to them that they felt uneasy.
Elder Yin knew very well that even if Yin Shilan was a true disciple of Qianhuan Sect and was taken care of by the sect, it would not allow a cultivator in the late Jindan stage to be so attentive.
Even Elder Yin could sense that Monk Jiang was clearly trying to make friends with him. He was self-aware, and relying on his and his wife Elder Ren's identities, he was unable to get Monk Jiang to make friends with him.
Not to mention that the Tianhai Sect and the Xuanming Sect have already been disbanded, even when the Tianhai Sect and the Xuanming Sect were at their peak, the identities of their two Jindan elders combined could not affect Monk Jiang's attention.
"Has Lan'er's identity changed in Qianhuan Sect?" Elder Yin whispered to himself.
"Lan'er is a child who only focuses on the formation and is not capable of doing anything else!" Elder Ren shook his head.
She knew her own child well. Yin Shilan had excellent talent, but she loved formations and practiced in order to be able to study formations more deeply.
However, it is impossible for Yin Shilan to achieve any significant results in the art of formation in just a few years. The art of formation requires the accumulation of time. Without dozens or hundreds of years of persistent research, it is impossible to achieve such results that even late Jindan cultivators would actively make friends with him.
“Then why…” Elder Yin stopped here. Elder Ren understood what he meant without him having to say anything more.
Elder Ren shook his head helplessly. The level of hospitality provided by Beihai Trading Company was too high, so high that it made the two Jindan cultivators feel uneasy.
"Let's ask after we meet Lan'er!" Elder Yin said without further ado.
Ren Fei'er didn't pay attention to her parents' conversation. She looked at the scenery outside with lifeless eyes. As her sect was destroyed and she was displaced, she had grown up a lot and her temperament was no longer as lively as before.
Of course, this also took several years for her to grow into a big girl.
Over the years, she had also been inquiring about Li Shiming's news, but unfortunately, she had never seen Li Shiming again since the Tianhai Sect was destroyed. She only later heard that Li Shiming had gone to the Northern Shu Continent.
Elder Yin and Director Ren would never have thought that the attitude of Master Jiang of Beihai Trading Company would be related to Li Shiming. At the beginning, Li Shiming only got the status of an outer disciple of Qianhuan Sect.
Although they knew that Li Shiming was extremely talented, his three spiritual roots limited his room for development, especially in the talented Beishu Continent. Li Shiming's talents in other areas were hindered by his spiritual roots, so it would be impossible for him to achieve any results in a short period of time.
They speculated that Li Shiming was probably still relying on Yin Shilan's protection to survive in Qianhuan Sect.
The commercial flying boat took twenty days to cross the North Sea and stopped at the Shiwandashan Mountains to rest for half a day.
Anyone who did not get off the flying boat at the Ten Thousand Mountains stayed in the flying boat and rested.
They all knew that this was the sphere of influence of the demonic sect Senluo Sect. As long as they were in the Beishu Trading Company's commercial flying boat, they would not be harassed by the demonic cultivators of the Senluo Sect. However, it was hard to say what would happen if they left the commercial flying boat.
Half a day later, after the commercial flying boat took off, Monk Jiang came to Suite No. 2 again.
Monk Jiang has come here often these days and has become familiar with Elder Yin and his wife.
"Brother Jiang, please take a seat!" Elder Yin smiled and invited Brother Jiang to sit down.
After greeting, Monk Jiang sat opposite and took out a jade box. He took out three pieces of spiritual tea from it and used the three pieces of spiritual tea to make three cups of tea.
"Fellow Daoist Yin, please taste my good tea. It is the best spiritual tea in the world!" Monk Jiang said with a smile as he pushed two cups of spiritual tea in front of Elder Yin and Elder Ren.
When Elder Yin opened the jade box, he determined that it was a third-grade spiritual tea, an extremely rare golden elixir resource on Tianhai Island. Except for taking out a little in case of major events, the sect usually does not distribute such golden elixir resources.
Seeing Monk Jiang treating his guests with third-grade spiritual tea, he marveled at the richness of the Northern Shu Continent and gained more confidence in his trip to the Northern Shu Continent.
He picked up the cup and took a sip. His eyes lit up and he looked at his wife beside him. Elder Ren had the same expression as him. This third-grade spiritual tea was the best third-grade spiritual tea he had ever tasted.
"Good tea! This time, it is thanks to Brother Jiang that I can taste such a magical tea!" He smiled and thanked Brother Jiang.
"This was roasted by our merchant Li Keqing. Li Keqing's tea roasting skills are unparalleled in the world, but it's a pity that it's difficult to invite him to do it!" Monk Jiang responded with a smile with a hint of meaning in his words.
This time, Li Shiming requested the Beishu Trading Company to pick up Elder Yin and his family.
Although Monk Jiang is a late Jindan cultivator, he still wants to make friends with Li Shiming.
Although Li Shiming is currently unable to refine the third-grade elixir that Monk Jiang needs, everyone knows that once Li Shiming succeeds in refining the elixir, making friends with him now will bring great benefits to themselves.
Not to mention Li Shiming's tea-frying skills, which are now praised by monks as much as his alchemy skills.
The Northern Shu Continent spent a huge price to invite Li Shiming to fry a small amount of third-grade spiritual tea leaves into spiritual tea.
Monk Jiang got a share of the money, and this time he used it to entertain Elder Yin and his wife, just to make friends with Elder Yin. If he had a friendship with Elder Yin, he could use his personal relationship to invite him to Li Shiming in the future.
"Is Keqing Li very busy?" Elder Yin asked puzzledly.
He had witnessed the terrifying power of the Northern Shu Trading Company, and even the Mingxin Sect had to give way to its trade routes.
You must know that the Mingxin Sect, with its own strength, suppressed the seven sects of Tianhai Island without any chance of fighting back, but such a powerful sect still maintained enough respect for Beishu Trading Company.
"Li Keqing is a master of alchemy and is extremely busy on weekdays. We can only ask Li Keqing to make tea for us when he is in a good mood and has free time. To be honest, in such a long time, Li Keqing has only made spiritual tea for our company. No matter how high your status is, you cannot ask him to make tea for you!" Monk Jiang explained with a smile.
He also noticed that it seemed that Elder Yin and his wife did not know about Li Shiming.
But this did not affect his making friends. The relationship between Yin Shilan and Li Shiming was known to everyone in the entire Northern Shu continent who was concerned about Li Shiming.
Elder Yin and his wife are Yin Shilan's parents and have a great influence on Li Shiming.
Upon hearing that Li Keqing was a master of alchemy, Elder Yin understood why he could not ask Li Keqing to make spiritual tea.
The seven major sects of Tianhai Island do not have alchemy masters. Even if they accidentally obtain a third-grade elixir, they need to go through the channels of Beishu Trading Company and ask the alchemy master to help refine the elixir.
During this process, the seven major sects of Tianhai Island need to pay more than the cultivators of Beishu Continent, and there is no guarantee of the success rate of refining the elixir.
Even so, the Jindan cultivators of the seven major sects had no complaints at all. Without the help of the master alchemist, the third-grade elixir was just a decoration and had no effect at all.
This also made Elder Yin understand how noble the identity of a master alchemist is, whether on Tianhai Island or on the Beishu Continent.
He did not expect that this Li Keqing was Li Shiming, and Monk Jiang did not tell him. If he had told him at this time, then their friendship would have become utilitarian, and it would have been difficult for them to become good friends.
"Fellow Daoist Yin, Fellow Daoist Ren, the Boundary Mountain Pass is below us. This is where the Ten Thousand Mountains meet the outside world, and it is also outside the influence of the Senluo Sect!" Monk Jiang smiled and reminded them when he saw the scenery below the commercial flying boat.
Elder Yin looked down, and with his ability to perceive spiritual energy, he naturally sensed the aura of the formation.
The commercial flying boat of Beishu Trading Company stopped for a moment outside the large formation and opened the defensive formation, allowing the large formation below to scan and inspect the interior of the flying boat.
"Although our flying boat does not need to pass through this checkpoint on the ground like ordinary cultivators, inspection is essential. The flying boat can pass as long as there are no unreported personnel on board!" Monk Jiang explained to Elder Yin.
What is power? This is power. Senluo Sect is one of the six major sects in the Northern Shu Continent.
The Mingxin Sect, which was rampant on Tianhai Island, was driven out of the Shiwan Mountains by the Senluo Sect. It can be seen that the Senluo Sect is much stronger than the Mingxin Sect.
But even a force like the Senluo Sect needs to give face to the Beishu Trading Company and make things convenient for them.
Elder Yin could no longer sit still when he thought of this. He didn't know how he could be on equal footing with Monk Jiang in front of him and even gain the other party's friendship.
He was able to recognize his own position. In the Northern Shu Continent, he was almost a casual cultivator of the Golden Core Realm.
Elder Yin could not find the reason why, as a casual Jindan cultivator, Monk Jiang, a late Jindan cultivator of Beishu Trading Company, took the initiative to make friends with him.
"I can only ask after I meet Lan'er!" he thought again.
However, he still accepted Monk Jiang's initiative to make friends. Sometimes he would take out not-so-good spiritual objects to treat Monk Jiang in return. As both parties were interested in making friends, he and Monk Jiang became good friends before the commercial flying boat was about to reach the place where he disembarked.
The commercial flying boat did not go directly, but stopped constantly along the way. However, in addition to the normal support points, the flying boat added an additional stop this time, which was in the town outside the Qianhuan Sect.
The commercial flying boat landed outside the town, and Elder Yin and his family of three got off the boat.
