Chapter 418 Return to Dragon Whale Island



Qin Ran stood naked on the edge of the cliff for a while, and he began to feel a little ashamed.

After all, he is not a native of his motherland. Although he has nowhere to put the unruly feeling in his heart, he does not need to use the "crescent moon sky rushing" to express it.

Shenhua Xian Ning had just been obtained, and it was not very comfortable to control, so he used the sea water under the cliff to make a piece of clothing for himself.

Then he identified the direction and headed towards the depths of Shenhua Mountain. He moved very fast and it didn't take long before he arrived at the formation site of Longjing Island in Shenhua Mountain.

"Um?"

As soon as he arrived at the formation area, he found that there were some major changes here. He activated his pupil technique and saw that the formation in the formation area had changed. The original formation had been upgraded and became more difficult and complicated.

"Rearrange the formation... That's right, something happened here, it's time to change the formation."

However, his current soul strength and formation level have improved a lot. Even though the formation has become more complicated, it is much easier for him to break it than before.

He entered the formation at an extremely fast speed without breaking it or alerting its master.

In the cave, he used his skills like Water-like Years to disappear in the humid air and returned to the Dragon Whale Island and the cave opened up by the "Yuan" organization.

There's no one here anymore.

When he entered the seal, everyone else in the cave had been killed by him, leaving only Elder Zuo, who was sent by the "Yuan" organization to guard the cave, and Mr. Zhai, who came later and wanted to reap the benefits.

Qin Ran walked in the cave and thought, wondering what happened to them later, whether they had another dispute, shook hands and made peace, or left here and reported the situation here to the top leaders of the "Yuan" organization and Dragon Whale Island.

or……

Mr. Zhai sold him directly.

He walked forward while thinking, and when he came to the mountain wall, he looked up and found that the seal he had broken with the "Devil Soul Evil Blood" had been covered by a new formation.

"Elder Zuo doesn't seem to be proficient in formations. Could it be that Mr. Zhai is not only an expert in alchemy, but also has a high level of formation skills?" He analyzed, "But it is more likely that they have reported it to the higher-ups, and they sent a formation master to set up the formation."

"So there are two questions. One is, how long did I stay in the seal? The other is, did Mr. Zhai sell me out?"

"This leads to a question: should I go back to Dragon Whale Island?" He hesitated, "Or rather, is the dragon blood worth the risk?"

If Mr. Zhai sold him out, he would face the pursuit of the entire Longjing Island when he returned; if Mr. Zhai did not sell him out, he would face Mr. Zhai's conspiracy when he returned.

But he actually doesn't need dragon blood, and his original body doesn't actually need dragon blood either.

The main body wants dragon blood in order to refine the elixir of immortality, so that mortals can have the lifespan of a Jindan-stage cultivator, or to put it more bluntly, to give Li Shiyin's family the lifespan of a Jindan-stage cultivator.

And more importantly, even if he got the dragon blood, he couldn't send it back to Lingnan Territory. He could only use the dragon blood to study and make a sample for the main body.

Then, even if he got the dragon blood and used it to make the elixir, he didn't have the phoenix blood. He still couldn't make the elixir of immortality that he derived from his own body.

Even if he got the dragon blood and phoenix blood and refined the elixir of immortality, he would still have to question whether the elixir formula that the original body had worked out at that time was correct!

He now somewhat looks down on the alchemy skills of his original body back then.

Qin Ran hesitated at the foot of the cliff. Suddenly, he felt violent. "Damn it. I don't dare to do this or that. Isn't that like my original self? I'm not the coward that my original self is. It doesn't matter if it's useful or not. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't try something so fun and exciting.

"Besides, I just got the Shenhua Xian Ning. If I don't use it now, it would be like walking in the night in brocade clothes!"

The hesitation ended here, and Qin Ran made up his mind to go back to Longjing Island. He turned and walked out of the cave and headed towards the sea.

If you want to go back to Longjing Island, it is best to find a boat and take it back. The best option is to fly or swim back by yourself.

Speaking of which, the means of transportation for the monks in the Tianhai area is to use teleportation arrays for long distances and boats for short distances. Apart from teleportation arrays, there are boats. It is rare to see a monk flying or swimming between the two islands by himself.

There are many reasons for this:

First, the sea is vast and boundless, and it is very easy to lose your way when traveling in the sea;

Second, the sea is mysterious and unpredictable. No one knows what will appear in the sea water in the next second.

Third, due to the cultivation system, except for the relatively simple flying spells of Qi cultivators, the flying conditions for body cultivators and spirit cultivators are relatively harsh.

Boats are an extremely common means of transportation in the Tianhai area, and are suitable for monks and mortals.

Qin Ran looked around along the coast and found several ships, all of which came to Shenhua Mountain to try their luck, but none of them came from Longjing Island. Finally, he saw a ship that had just arrived from Longjing Island.

When the boat docked, he went up to try to get close to them, and soon he blended in as an alchemist from Longjing Island. At the same time, he also learned that this team was from a family from Longjing Island who came to Shenhua Mountain for training.

Shenhua Mountain has a considerable reputation in the Tianlan Sea. Even if there is no legendary Shenhua Mountain incident, there are always cultivators coming to Shenhua Mountain to take a look, or large families coming to train and have fun.

These cultivators come to Shenhua Mountain not necessarily for the inheritance of the Shenhua Old Demon, but more often they come here to have fun and make friends. They come to Shenhua Mountain with the mentality of traveling and relaxing.

This family who came here for training was obviously here for vacation.

We walked slowly from the coast to the mountain, stopping here and there. At noon, we found a flat place and had a picnic.

Some people gathered together to drink and have fun, some played chess under the trees, some studied magic with their good Taoist friends, and some studied food.

On the edge of the cliff, three people were chatting and laughing as they explored here.

A man in gray laughed and said, "The scenery of Shenhua Mountain is indeed different from other places. With such beautiful scenery, this trip is worthwhile."

A woman in green responded: "The place where the old demon Shenhua inherited his legacy is naturally extraordinary."

“It’s a pity that the seal has not been opened, so the inheritance cannot be seen in the world.” said a man in blue.

"For thousands or tens of thousands of years, no one has inherited the legacy of the old demon Shenhua. It's normal that we didn't see it." said the man in gray.

The woman in green hesitated and asked, "Could it be that the inheritance of the Shenhua Demon is actually fake? Either the Shenhua Demon is not dead, or the Shenhua Demon did not leave any inheritance, or the Shenhua Demon's inheritance is no longer here."

As soon as she said this, the man in gray immediately looked around with a sly look in his eyes. He only saw a thin and reserved young man nearby. He recognized him as the alchemist who had just sneaked into the team. He didn't need to be afraid of him, so he lowered his voice and explained to the man in green:

"The inheritance of the old demon Shenhua is here. There have always been rumors in the Tianlan Sea that the slightly larger forces in the Tianlan Sea are secretly plotting to seize the inheritance of Shenhua Mountain. Have you heard of the Night Walker?"

"Nightwalker?"

"They are a group of assassins who hunt down the monks of Shenhua Mountain at night."

"Hunting monks?!" Green Clothes was shocked, "Who is so bold?"

Gray was also a little scared. Talking about Night Walkers here was like talking about ghosts on a grave, but he still whispered, "All the major forces in the Tianlan Sea!"

"All the major forces?" Green was shocked.

The man in gray nodded, and the man in green fell into a state of doubt about his life.

"We...there are also night walkers on Dragon Whale Island?" She couldn't believe it.

"Of course there is..." Lan Yi took over the conversation, "You should know Captain Tie Ruonan Tie. She is actually the captain of the Night Walkers of Dragon Whale Island."

"Tie Ruonan is a Night Walker?" Lu Yi was surprised again.

"Shh!" Gray immediately asked her to lower her voice, "Be quiet, you are risking your life."

But Lan Yi sighed: "No wonder I haven't seen Tie Ruonan for a long time. It turns out that he came to Shenhua Mountain to be a night walker."

"The Shenhua Mountain incident just happened. Tie Ruonan must have killed someone in Shenhua Mountain..." Gray Clothes said, and suddenly stopped, because he thought, if Tie Ruonan was on the mountain, wouldn't he be in trouble if he was heard?

He hurriedly changed the subject. "A few days ago, I thought of a method that can make body training more effective. When using the breathing method, it is necessary to coordinate with the corresponding movements to ensure that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swallowed into the stomach is absorbed as much as possible every time..."

"What?" Green Clothes hadn't reacted yet.

"Do you want to know how to do it? Watch me demonstrate..." the man in gray continued.

"The Shenhua Mountain incident just happened?" Qin Ran, who was eavesdropping on the side, frowned.

When he entered the sealed space, the Shenhua Mountain incident was about to end. Then he learned to make alchemy, practice visualization, and dismantle formations in the sealed space. Although he lost track of time because there was no day and night change inside, he conservatively estimated that he stayed in each alchemy room for at least a year. In other words, he stayed in the seven alchemy rooms for at least seven years in the sealed space.

How come the Shenhuashan incident just passed?

"Could it be that a new Shenhuashan incident has occurred?" He analyzed, "It shouldn't happen this quickly!"

But he suddenly remembered the appearance of Longjing Island in the cave of Shenhua Mountain. It didn't look like it had experienced the Shenhua Mountain incident again. It didn't look like seven years had passed in that cave.

"I'm trapped and stupid, is the time difference wrong?"

"Or... is there something wrong with this sealed space?" He continued to analyze, "Are there any other formations that I have dismantled... formations that involve time?!"

With these questions in mind, he began to intentionally or unintentionally inquire about information in this team.

They climbed up Shenhua Mountain from the beach on this side, then went down Shenhua Mountain from the other side, and then went back from the beach on the other side. It was a leisurely journey, which was indeed similar to a camping trip.

During this period, Qin Ran finally calculated from various sources that he had been in the sealed space for about three months. At the same time, he also calculated from some details that Mr. Zhai had not reported him... at least he had not been issued a bounty order by Dragon Whale Island.

So he decided to go back to Dragon Whale Island.

The boat drifted on the sea for two days, and Qin Ran returned to Longjing Island. He changed his appearance and went to Jingluo City to inquire about the news for a few days. He was 70% sure that Mr. Zhai did not report him.

"What does he want to do?"

Putting himself in Mr. Zhai's shoes, Qin Ran felt that he wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Shenhua Demon from him.

“If that’s the case…” He laughed. The alchemy technique of the old demon Shenhua was in his mind, and the old demon Shenhua’s divine immortal condensation turned into his flesh. “I’m afraid you will be disappointed.”

That evening, Qin Ran changed back into Li Feiyu's image and walked back to the Island Master's Mansion in a swagger.
