From the State of Chu to the State of Yan, the east-west stretches across nearly 200,000 miles of mountains and steep cliffs.

This way...

Wonderful!

The more Shen Lian followed, the more familiar he felt.

This guy is also a professional runner.

What he lacks is defensive means, and he doesn't have as many trump cards as he does.

Following him all the way, Shen Lian didn't notice anything unusual. This man was considered to be very careful.

But after hiding in the edge of Yan State for about half a year, this person began to move again. After wandering around several times, he went straight to the vast ocean in the north.

This made him a little confused about this person's intentions. Why was he becoming more and more like him, running around everywhere?

…

On the vast ocean, a spiritual ship with the Tianxia Tower hanging on it was sailing through the air. The spiritual ship kept stopping at larger islands along the way, and many cultivators got on and off.

In the box on the second floor of the spirit ship, Shen Lian was practicing quietly.

He has been following Monk Niujiao for almost two years. Now, like him, he has become a foundation-building monk and is on this spirit ship.

It is not clear yet where this person's destination is.

In this regard, Shen Lian wanted to dig out the secrets from him. Is such a cautious person hiding from something?

In another private room on the second floor, Su Lin just woke up from his practice, and his injuries were finally almost recovered.

He subconsciously touched his forehead with his hand. He was able to escape last time thanks to the Five Elements Spirit Horn.

He stood up and walked to the window of the box, looking at the vast ocean around him. Then Su Lincai rushed out of the spirit ship and fled into the distance.

The fake Dan monk who was guarding the spirit ship wanted to speak, but he sensed the escaping light disappearing into the sky. His pupils suddenly shrank and he lowered his head, thinking it was better to mind his own business.

At the same time, when the spirit ship passed through a cloud of fog, Shen Lian's figure in the box also disappeared in a flash.

However, he left behind a puppet talisman man as a replacement, which would then spontaneously combust into ashes and drift away with the wind.

…

After rushing out of the spirit ship, Su Lin took a look at the spirit ship that was still moving forward. He rushed out of the spirit ship suddenly, and if someone followed him, they would also take action.

After watching the spirit ship disappear into the horizon, he emerged from the ocean and headed northeast.

A few months later.

In the azure blue water, the sunlight shone with golden light as it was refracted by the sea water, and a vague shadow flashed by.

Shen Lian's whole body merged into the water, and the five elements of magic power in his body circulated and transformed into water magic power that was closest to the surging ocean.

This was the method of mobilizing his magical power that he had figured out bit by bit during this pursuit.

The five elements are interdependent. From now on, you will act according to the person you are dealing with. When you encounter a place with the attribute of something, you will use the magic power of that attribute.

At this moment, he had already entered the area of ​​the sea tribe.

The Ox-Horned Monk was running around all over the world of immortal cultivation, obviously trying to leave his traces everywhere.

This made Shen Lian even more interested.

Seven Altar Floating Islands.

This is an island half-shallow under the vast ocean. From afar, the silver buildings on the island are glittering, and you can also see the sea monks coming in and out.

Su Lincai hid in the water, observed the island for a whole day, and then quietly entered the island under the cover of night.

Inside the floating island, there are huge buildings in the upper part, and caves in the lower part, which serve as the living place for the sea monks.

The entire island is covered with dense restrictions. Once the breath of a non-sea cultivator appears, these restrictions will be activated.

Su Lin easily passed through the restriction and then invaded the underwater cave-like building. He chose a cave where a sea clan foundation-building cultivator was practicing and knocked him unconscious with his divine sense.

After checking the surrounding environment, he casually took out an incense burner and placed it on the jade table in the cave.

He made a few hand gestures with his right hand, and a stick of incense appeared in his hand. He first bit his finger, soaked the incense with blood, then pressed it against his heart, lit it with his spiritual thoughts, and put it into the incense burner.

A cloud of blood-red smoke emerged and swirled above the incense burner, forming a blood-red halo.

"How is my son doing lately?"

After a few breaths, a blurry face emerged from the swirling blood smoke. It was unclear whether it was a man or a woman, and the voice could not be distinguished between male and female.

"Father."

Su Lincai kowtowed respectfully.

"I might have gotten into trouble."

"After I broke through the Jindan realm in this remote place, I have been hiding. A few days ago..."

Su Lincai told the whole story of how he went to the wilderness to look for opportunities and how he sacrificed the Five Elements Ox Horn Magical Artifact in times of crisis.

It also tells that after he recovered from his injuries, he hid from the enemy all the way and came to the territory of the sea clan to light the incense of blood to contact his family.

Seeing that the face in the blood smoke did not move, Su Lin spoke nervously.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked down on the monks from remote places. I really learned a lesson this time."

"Are the cultivation resources that your father has prepared for you not enough?"

Su Lincai's mouth twitched, with a look of shame on his face, and he uttered two words.

"That's enough."

"Then why do you still make such a move?"

“I…”

A sigh came from the face formed in the blood mist.

"My son, your father sent you away because he wanted you to live, and not become someone else's body."

"Father has given you resources. If you practice hard, it is enough to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Why do you need to go outside..."

At this point, Blood Mist's face was stunned, "Tell me the truth, are you unable to open the storage ban and take out the resources inside?"

Hearing this, Su Lin lowered his head in even greater shame.

The face in the blood smoke twitched violently for a few breaths, then one hand was placed on the brow, and finally he let out a long and heavy breath.

"It's okay, it's okay, this is not your fault."

"It's not a big problem that the ban cannot be lifted. It's just that the ban that my father set up was too complicated."

"I tried to use the Spirit Horn to break the seal, but the restrictions left by my father restricted the Spirit Horn."

Su Linchang nodded and explained in a low voice.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you take the Spirit Horn away."

"The child has disappointed his father."

"My son, it's okay. I'm used to it."

There was a moment of silence in the cave.

After a long moment, the figure in the blood smoke spoke again, "You did a good job. Now that the news has been leaked, you should leave."

"Also, since this is a matter of life and death, you were right to use the bloodline incense to contact your father. Only when your father knows can he solve it for you. Otherwise, with your strength, you might even make things worse."

"The Wilderness is a good place. After the great changes in the Middle Ages, it has become the most marginal area in the southern part of the Xiuxian world. It would be difficult to find such a suitable place again."

"Unless you go to Dongji, Beihai and other places of cultivation, only these places can still leave remote places like Tiannan Wilderness, but this requires crossing too far a distance, and you are not by your father's side."

"As for the danger issue, I will try to find a way to solve any subsequent problems that may arise."

"In this era, if you don't become an immortal, what difference does it make between becoming a Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, or even a Spiritual Transformation? It's just a matter of living a few more years."

"You have already advanced to the Golden Core Stage. You should find a Taoist partner and a wife as soon as possible while you are still relatively fertile. Otherwise, if you accidentally advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, it will be extremely difficult for you to have offspring."

"There is a seal of mine on the Spirit God Corner. If you don't use it, others won't notice it. You can just hide it deep in your Dantian. It can save your life in times of crisis."

"The kid knows."

The figure in the blood smoke nodded.

Fortunately, my own child is still very good. In this respect, he is much more obedient than many offspring of old men.

Those unlucky kids have killed too many fellow Taoists.

"Now that you have married and had children, you can no longer use this skin. Your mother has prepared many sets for you. Pick one and put it on."

Su Lincai obediently stood up from the ground and gently touched his forehead.

Suddenly, a crack appeared between his eyebrows, and then the entire skin fell off from his head.

A thin, pale but very handsome young man appeared.

“Ahem…”

After coughing twice, he casually took out a wardrobe with dozens of different full-body skins hanging in it.

There are both old, weak and thin, and young and strong.

"That one won't do. He's too handsome and will attract too much attention. The other one, who looks to be in his thirties, will do."

"What cultivators value is strength. Appearance is not very useful. Remember to find a Taoist partner at the highest foundation-building level. I'm afraid you can't grasp the one at the golden elixir level."

After Su Lincai selected a skin-like robe and put it on, there was a flash of light and he turned into a monk in his thirties with an ordinary appearance and a common face.

"That's about it. You need to tell Dad something. If you can't handle it, don't do anything rash. Just have fun."

"By the way, you can't go back to the place where you made the move before. Go directly to Tiannan Middle Continent and find a small fairy city there to hide yourself."

"As long as you don't make a move, the Immortal Seekers from the Exiled Immortal Tower won't be able to sense you."

"If it weren't for my father's lack of strength, I would definitely kill this damned immortal..."

The blood smoke suddenly burst like bubbles, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Su Lincai stood there in a daze, looking at the ashes in the incense burner.

"Hey, father hasn't told me how to open the ban yet."

After being stunned for a while, Su Lin touched his hot face.

"We still have some resources. Let's try again after we advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core."

"Spirit God, I'd better do as my father says."

Thinking of his father and mother's difficulties, Su Lin felt that he should not join in the fun in the wilderness.

Even if I could obtain a few cultivation pills, could they be better than those prepared by my father?

Prove yourself?

It's nothing to prove. Instead, it caused trouble for my father and I have to cover up for him again.

"Hey, let's go."

After cleaning the cave again, eliminating his own aura, and taking a look at the sea clan's foundation building which was still in silence, Su Lin disappeared.

After a long time, a small black-horned ant in the cave crawled up, with a tiny photo-recording bead attached to its belly. It was taken away quietly by someone.

…

On the vast ocean, Shen Lian sat cross-legged on the spirit boat and traveled among the waves.

After following him for several years, he was almost shocked by what he gained.

After following him around, he finally followed a "second-generation immortal". This "second-generation immortal" was completely different from what he had imagined.

The strength of the "first generation of immortals" must at least be that of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Even such a great monk was so scared that he hid his own child, which shows how much he feared the Exiled Immortal Tower.

However, the second generation Jindan kids are quite obedient and not rebellious at all, which is very rare.

But then again, he had caused quite a bit of noise in the wilderness, and hadn't noticed any trace of the monks from the Exiled Immortal Tower.

Driving the spirit boat, Shen Lian came all the way to the Black Whale Island where the Hailing Sect was located.

This is the place where he once built his foundation.

Hongfu Street.

The last time I saw this sign, I was sending the old monster Zi Yang off.

As early as when entering the sea area, Shen Lian contacted Qian Dai through the communication jade talisman. He needed a large quantity of low-level ores, as well as various special ores such as Dongtian Stone and Xuanming Stone.

After taking a special look at the sign of Hongfu Street, Shen Lian walked towards the Fenglei Baoge in the city.

Qian Dai has already established a branch in this city and sent over a batch of resources he needs.

After receiving the first batch of ore from Fenglei Treasure Pavilion, Shen Lian took out the communication jade talisman to thank Qian Dai, but the communication jade talisman did not receive a response.

Inside the treasure pavilion.

Qian Miao, the fake pill shop owner who was in charge here, handed a jade slip to Shen Lian.

"This is what my boss asked me to give to you, fellow Taoist."

After Shen Lian took the jade slip, he immersed his mind into it.

In the jade slip, Qian Dai’s fat figure emerged, looking very lifelike.

“Decades ago, the Yunshang Sect accepted a female cultivator from the Luo family who had five spiritual roots from the Wanxing Sea. This woman had five-colored pupils and was suspected to have some kind of five-element spirit in her body.

More than ten years ago, this girl advanced to the Golden Core Stage under the training of the Yunshang Sect.

Several years ago, this girl was forcibly taken away by an immortal-seeking messenger from the Exiled Immortal Tower.

According to rumors, the Yunshang Sect had suffered a serious change this time, even Master Molong was injured, and a lot of treasures were lost.

In addition, it is rumored that the president of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage somewhere in Wanshan Region and wants to merge the family chamber of commerce into a sect.

Now, undercurrents are surging among the sects in the South Sea, and have already affected the Wanxing Sea, so fellow Taoists must be careful. "

Qian Dai, who was transformed by divine consciousness, put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice when he said this.

"In addition, there are ways to get the Cave Heaven Stone and Mysterious Dark Stone that you need, but you need to exchange them with high-level elixirs. How about we meet and discuss it in detail?"

"I'm waiting for you on Wushan Island."

Wushan Island is a volcanic island in the eastern part of Wanxing Sea. The volcanic eruptions throughout the year evaporate a large amount of sea water to form fog, which in turn shrouds the sea area in hazy mist.

Qian Dai invited him to go to Wushan Island, so he had to go there.

After withdrawing his spiritual thoughts from the jade slip, Shen Lian bowed to the shopkeeper to express his gratitude.

Unexpectedly, while he was working in the wilderness to identify monks, the monks in other places were also busy.

However, this news is not unexpected. The world of immortal cultivation is so big that all kinds of things happen every day. It will not change whether Mr. Shen is there or not.

He is not a disaster star that will cause explosions wherever he goes. At most, he will add some more fuel to the local area. However, he cannot stop some things that are bound to happen.
