"unnecessary."

Hearing the cold voice coming from the box, Yang Yanping's face was slightly stunned, but she still smoothed her hair and spoke again.

"Senior, my spiritual wine is brewed from more than a dozen hundred-year-old spiritual fruits."

"Hmm..."

Just when Shen Lian was about to drive the person away, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Come in."

The door of the box slowly opened, and Yang Yanping walked in on tiptoe. She first glanced at Shen Lian out of the corner of her eye, then slowly walked towards Shen Lian.

"senior."

After Yingying bowed, she took out a complete set of jade tables, wine glasses, and a set of special wine warming utensils from the white jade bracelet on her wrist.

After arranging the things, Yang Yanping had a green-skinned gourd in her hand. Wine flowed out of the gourd, crystal clear and emitting a rich spiritual energy.

“Good wine.”

Looking at the white jade wine cup handed over by Yang Yanping, Shen Lian nodded, but did not take it.

"A barmaid in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and you like serving people so much?"

Shen Lian's words did not change Yang Yanping's expression.

"Senior, my Dantian is broken."

As she spoke, Yang Yanping slightly opened her belly and a sad and helpless smile appeared on her face.

“Although he is at the foundation building stage, he is not even as good as the ninth level of Qi training.”

"Your wine is good. How much is a whole gourd? I'll buy it."

Without drinking, Shen Lian pointed to the green-skinned gourd.

"Senior, this gourd is my only livelihood. You can sell the wine to me, but the gourd..."

Yang Yanping knelt beside the jade table and said, "I have disturbed your mood. This glass of wine is my apology to you."

As she spoke, she raised the white jade wine cup again and handed it to Shen Lian with both hands.

During this unintentional movement, a hint of depth was revealed at the collar.

"Okay, get out."

He casually took out a hundred spirit stones and threw them on the jade table.

"Excuse me, senior."

Being treated coldly, Yang Yanping didn't dare to say anything more. She stood up and bowed again, then quickly put away her equipment and walked out of the box.

After leaving the box where Shen Lian was, Yang Yanping tidied herself up and walked towards the door of the next box.

There were eight foundation-building monks on the entire spirit ship. She knocked on the doors one by one and there didn't seem to be any problems.

After coming out of the box of the last foundation-building cultivator, Yang Yanping walked towards a room under the treasure ship.

"aunt."

In the room, an old woman with white hair and silver hair was sitting cross-legged. Her eyes were sunken and her eyelids were grown together. It was obvious that she was blind.

“I’m back.”

"Well, this time there were several seniors who were gentle and gave me spirit stones as rewards."

Yang Yanping nodded at the old woman.

The old woman's aura was only at the ninth level of Qi training, and the two of them didn't look unusual.

"That's good, that's good."

The old woman nodded in relief.

"You must be tired. Take a rest."

…

Inside the box, Shen Lian frowned slightly. From his spiritual perception, he could tell that the old woman and the female cultivator were both Qi-cultivating cultivators and there was nothing unusual about them.

But before that, he sensed a hint of demonic energy.

When they chased it again, the evil spirit had completely disappeared.

Up to now, the only one who could hide the secret from him was a Jindan cultivator.

Is there a magic elixir on the spirit ship?

…

"Aunt, there are seven foundation-building cultivators in total. One of them was extremely cautious and did not drink the spirit wine. I did not sense his aura, so I withdrew."

In the room below, after resting for a quarter of an hour, Yang Yanping and the old woman both sat cross-legged. They seemed to be meditating but were actually communicating with each other.

Yang Yanping, who was transmitting the message, was tense and extremely afraid of the aunt in front of her.

"I have chosen a person who is at the seventh level of foundation building. When he saw the whiteness of my skirt, his eyes were full of lust. He is the easiest to deal with. I can let my aunt heal him."

The blind old woman trembled slightly, with resentment in her heart.

"A phoenix without feathers is no better than a chicken. I never thought that I, Yang Yuepo, would fall into such a state. I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge."

…

"Foundation Building Level 7."

In the box above, Shen Lian opened his eyes. He could easily intercept the telepathic message of the Jindan cultivator. It seemed that the old Jindan woman was seriously injured.

Now they are so hungry that they are willing to eat anything and only dare to target cultivators at the seventh foundation building stage.

But it is indeed hidden very deeply. There is a high probability that he has a magic weapon to conceal his breath, otherwise it would be impossible to hide so tightly.

The frail young lady looked so pitiful. It's true that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

Paying special attention to the old woman in the box below who was suspected to be a Jindan magic cultivator, Shen Lian took out the map of the South China Sea again and looked at it.

This spirit ship will sail southwards, passing through more than a dozen fairy cities and markets of various sizes, and its final destination is Nanya Fairy City.

After arriving at Nanya Fairy City, he stayed for a while and then entered the sea.

Half a month later, the Yuelu spirit ship landed in a fairy city called Qiushan and stayed there for a day.

As usual, Shen Lian got off the spirit ship and began to wander around the city buying spiritual items.

More than ten days passed, and the spirit ship arrived at the next anchorage. The targeted seventh-level foundation-building cultivator got off the spirit ship, and the young lady and the old woman who sold wine also got off the spirit ship.

When the spirit ship set off again, the young lady and the old woman bought some spirit fruits and returned.

Shen Lian understood that the young man who was at the seventh level of foundation building was most likely dead.

Later, on the spiritual ship heading south, the young lady selling wine and the old woman got off the ship several times in succession.

There were cultivators on both sides of the box where Shen Lian was located who were being targeted by them, but the wine-selling girl was the only one who never entered the box where he was.

…

"Senior, this is the spiritual fruit wine that I just brewed."

In the attic at the top of the spirit ship, Yang Yanping poured the spirit wine into a white jade wine cup and leaned shyly beside the fake Dan Qianshui Zhenren who was sitting in charge of the spirit ship.

Master Qianshui narrowed his eyes, let Yang Yanping pour the wine into her mouth, and stretched out his big hand to hold Yang Yanping's small hand.

"Ah, Senior, you hurt me."

Yang Yanping's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to pull her hand back, but after trying a few times, she found that her hand was being pulled downwards instead. Master Qianshui showed a look in his eyes and pulled her in front of him and lifted up her skirt.

"ah……"

…

"Go back and tell that blind woman to serve me well, and you will definitely benefit from it."

Master Qianshui showed a look of delight on his face.

Yang Yanping nodded while crying, put away her wine utensils, staggered out of the top attic, and returned to the room on the lower floor.

"Give it to him. When my injury is healed, you can do whatever you want with him."

The old woman sat cross-legged on the bed. Although her eyes were blind, her heart was not blind.

…

In the attic.

After having fun, Master Qianshui took out a lit jade communication talisman from his arms.

"Don't worry, brother. You will have a safe journey."

Master Qianshui replied with a calm and unperturbed look.

"That's good. Recently, the demon cultivators in the Tianzhu Mountain mining area have been causing chaos. I'm afraid the demon cultivators outside are also unwilling to accept this. We still need to be careful."

"Junior brother, you understand. There is a third-level formation on the Yuelu. If any demon cultivator dares to come, Junior brother will make sure he never returns."

Seeing the light of the communication jade talisman go out, Zhenren Qianshui threw it aside and sneered.

"Without the demon cultivators, how can I fish in troubled waters?"

You are all real people. You sit in the sect and discuss the Dao, talk about everything, and are worshipped by all living beings, but he has to do these trivial matters and be driven by the sect's minions. Why? You are noble and pure, and he is a turbid stream.

…

"Don't look at anything indecent."

Inside the box, Shen Lian lay on the bed and sighed softly.

The Yuelu spirit ship comes from the Yuelu Sect, a Jindan sect. This sect has a late Jindan master in charge and is one of the top ten Jindan sects under the Yunshang Sect.

In the South China Sea, a sect can only be considered a strong sect if it has a late Jindan cultivator in charge.

A fake elder of the Jindan Sect colluded with the evil cultivators and was so bold as to cause trouble on the spirit ship of his own sect. This is equivalent to poaching from one's own camp.

The Golden Elixir Demon Cultivator and the Fake Elixir True Person, this is an interesting matter.

Shen Lian was just a spectator. Although he came from the sea, he did not grow up drinking sea water and did not want to get involved too much.

Besides, the old woman and the wine-selling girl were very cautious and never came to look for him again.

People have invited themselves to watch the action images, which is about enough.

Just don't mess with him.

…

Nanya Fairy City.

Surrounded by prosperous maritime trade, outside the city, the ocean is filled with sails and boats, and monks coming and going come into the city from all directions.

A few years ago, there was a grand exchange conference with a third-rank great alchemist in charge. The event is still unforgettable to the cultivators.

At that time, dozens of Jindan cultivators gathered together, and the foundation-building cultivators who used to act arrogantly were now as obedient as rabbits with their tails between their legs.

Amidst the flickering spiritual lights in the sky, the Yuelu spiritual ship landed outside the Nanya Immortal City.

The spirit ship will rest here for a few months and maintain the hull before setting off again.

Shen Lian walked out of the box. From a distance, Yang Yanping also walked down from the spirit ship with an old woman. When she saw Shen Lian, she bowed slightly.

Somehow, Shen Lian thought of Bai Tuotuo's big round butt.

"Nanya Immortal City, he is back again."

Looking at the prosperous city, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He wondered if Manager Huang could still control his fierce wife without his magic pills.

Shen Lian walked slowly through Huaha Street. Old Huang's rice shop and Liu's grocery store were still there.

However, Old Huang is the only one left in Old Huang’s rice shop.

"Fellow Daoist, what can I do for you?"

Shen Lian walked slowly into Liu's grocery store. Shopkeeper Liu spoke quickly when he saw someone coming in.

"Daoyou, do you want to accept this?"

Shen Lian casually took out a small piece of ore.

"Take it in."

Shopkeeper Liu may not be very strong, but he has a keen eye and can tell at a glance that it is a second-level ore.

"Daoyou, please come in."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Liu led Shen Lian into the shop. As soon as Shen Lian entered behind the screen, before he had time to react, Shopkeeper Liu's eyes were fixed.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Lian walked out of the grocery store.

"Daoyou, come again next time."

Shopkeeper Liu saw him out the door with a smile on his face, not finding it unusual at all.

This was mainly because Shen Lian's soul-searching skills had improved. He remembered that Shopkeeper Liu had already made up his mind to deduct the balance from him before he agreed to do something for him.

Shen Lian had no idea what happened in Nanya Fairy City afterwards after he left before the Barter Conference.

All we know is that the descendant of a great monk wanted to eat top-quality foundation-building pills, which is why the exchange conference was held later.

Shen Lian did not just target Manager Liu. He searched the souls of everyone he knew on Huaha Street one after another.

Finally, I got a very important piece of news... The wife of the shopkeeper Lao Huang couldn't stand his weakness and ran away.

…

The barter conference held several years ago attracted many cultivators, who collected a lot of spiritual objects for refining foundation-building pills.

However, in the end, he still failed to refine top-quality foundation-building pills, but he did produce a lot of medium-quality foundation-building pills.

In addition, the Grand Lord of Nanya Immortal City is no longer the sixth elder of the Yunshang Sect, Yunlong Zhenren, but the third elder of the Yunshang Sect, Yunlan Zhenren, a golden elixir cultivator who has reached the great perfection.

It is said that the reason why the third elder, Yunlan Zhenren, was transferred to Nanya Immortal City to be the city lord was because he failed in his attack on the Nascent Soul stage and injured his Golden Core, thus being exiled by the sect.

After taking office, Elder Yunlan also issued a bounty for medicine. Any spiritual object that can repair the golden elixir will be rewarded heavily as long as it is presented.

Failure in reaching the Nascent Soul stage will damage the Golden Core. This injury can be serious or minor. If it is minor, you can rest for a few decades and still have a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

But if the injury is too serious, then not only will there be the danger of stopping at the Golden Core stage, but one may even fall down a level.

Seeing how eagerly Elder Yunlan asked for medicine, he must have been seriously injured.

However, it is a bit too much to rely on crowdfunding to obtain the elixir that even the Yunshang Sect cannot find.

The transfer of sect elders is a normal phenomenon, but what surprised Shen Lian was that the Haijiao Fairy City far away in the Wanxing Sea also had a new city lord.

The former lord of Haijiao Fairy City, Master Hei Xuan, was transferred back to the mountain gate to serve as an outer sect elder.

The new lord of Haijiao Fairy City is Yunlong Zhenren from the former Nanya Fairy City.

If the Third Elder Yunlan was exiled from the sect to the Immortal City, then True Man Yunlong was directly thrown to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea. Isn't that a great exile?

The strength and status of Master Yunlong are no less than those of the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir.

Besides, even if he was injured and fell in rank while trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage, Master Yunlan is not comparable to an ordinary late Jindan cultivator.

This kind of adjustment always feels like there's something strange mixed in.

Among all the messages, Shen Lian also found some friendly messages towards him.

For example, Nanya Fairy City holds an auction every month, and one or two third-level spiritual objects appear in each auction.

A year ago, the Xuanming Stone also appeared.

The instigator of this auction is the current city lord, Yunlan.

The auction is also intended to attract monks from all over the place, and then increase the probability of the spiritual objects he needs appearing.

…

At the highest point in the north of Nanya Fairy City, a palace appears hidden among the clouds.

Pavilions, waterside terraces and waterfalls dropping three thousand feet create a fairy-like scene.

A streak of light rushed out with a whoosh and disappeared into the sea in the blink of an eye.

In the spiritual light, Yun Lan frowned and a fierce look flashed across his face.

"Don't push me too far."

“Shh…”

"Speak softly, you won't be afraid of being heard by others."

The ethereal voice surrounded Master Yunlan's ears, with a hint of a playful smile.

"You failed in your attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and your foundation has been completely destroyed. Are you willing to just sit there and become a Golden Core?"
