The Yuanying Patriarch is a mysterious figure who is hard to find even in the entire Southern Heaven cultivation world.
The cultivators on the spirit ship were at most at the foundation-building stage, so encountering the Nascent Soul ancestor appearing in the vast ocean was no different from hitting the jackpot.
The excited heart and trembling hands never stopped.
The spirit stones in their hands are no different from holy objects. There is no need to count them to imagine how many cultivators have secretly made up their minds to become Nascent Soul ancestors.
Inside the room, Shen Lian was also trying to calm himself down.
He didn't even see the true appearance of the Yuanying boss, but the pressure almost crushed him.
I guess it's because the big guy is holding back his energy, otherwise the sparks and lightning would crush all living beings along the way into blood foam.
The Yuanying Patriarch's journey south might not be what he had imagined.
Of course, it doesn’t matter.
He is already in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, and what happens in the State of Chu has nothing to do with him.
It is better to imagine that if you become a Yuanying ancestor in the future, when you meet a cultivator who is bowing and shouting, you can also spend some money to have fun, and pretend to be a hermit.
"Ride the wind and fly freely between heaven and earth..."
After sighing, a flash of light appeared in Shen Lian's hand, and the Five Elements Mountain appeared in front of him.
After the Five Qis converged, he could begin to try to refine this magical weapon.
There is not much difference between the sacrifice and refining of foundation-building tools and Qi-training tools. It mainly depends on the strength of the cultivator himself.
After carefully looking at the Five Elements Mountain, Shen Lian thought for a moment and finally put it into the storage bag.
He is only at the eighth level of Qi training now. If something unusual happens during the training process and is noticed by the foundation-building cultivators on the spirit ship, it would be too conspicuous.
Not a conspicuous bag.
If one reaches the eighth level of Qi training, he will be able to practice the foundation-building instrument. People might be willing to open their hearts to comfort him.
Now that we have entered the sea, it won't be long before we can disembark from the ship, so we don't mind wasting a few more days.
A month after entering the sea, a huge island appeared before everyone's eyes.
Shen Lian stood at the window, looking at the huge island from afar.
According to the nautical chart, this island is called Qianye Island, and it is the closest island to the wilderness with a large fairy city.
The spirit ship will stay here for two days and then continue to move towards the deep sea.
When the spirit ship landed outside Haicheng, Shen Lian gathered his things, changed his appearance again, and followed the crowd to get off the spirit ship.
Standing in an open space outside the city, he looked around.
The city on the island was built based on the dock. There were many treasure ships and spiritual boats traveling in the sea, and trade was much more prosperous than during the time of the Chu State.
Many Qi training practitioners travel back and forth on large and small spirit boats.
The scenes are indeed very different from those on land.
"A deep-sea giant shark fin can be used to create a second-level magic weapon. It only costs thirty spirit stones. You will make a profit if you buy it."
"Fresh deep-sea demon dog gallbladder, I guarantee you will be very happy after eating it..."
"Three-color clam pearls, one for each spirit stone, full of water and round, everyone who has used them says they are good."
…
Before Shen Lian entered the city, he saw the crowded stalls on both sides of the road outside the city.
There was no need to ask, he could tell just by listening that water-attributed spiritual objects were much cheaper than in the State of Chu.
Shen Lian glanced at the spiritual objects on the stalls, but he had no intention of buying any. He didn't have the eye for finding bargains, nor did he have the mind to engage in a battle of wits with the stall owners.
In comparison, he would rather go to a famous and long-established shop to buy spiritual objects.
Half an hour later, Shen Lian took a tour around Qianye City and had a detailed sea chart in his hand.
Finally, we came to a restaurant and ordered two simple dishes.
While sipping wine, he listened to the conversations among the monks.
Chiba Island is the largest island in the vicinity, surrounded by countless archipelagos of varying sizes.
On the surface, the strongest people in this area are the cultivators in the late foundation building stage, and there are only two or three of them.
According to records, in the past hundred years, there has only been one war between foundation-building families in the entire Chiba Island Alliance area, and the combatants were two people in the early stage of foundation-building.
I have never heard of any fake elixir or even golden elixir cultivators showing off in this area.
Combining these data, Shen Lian felt that with his current means, it would be very safe for him to stay in the Chiba Island Alliance area.
The next priority is to advance to the ninth level of Qi training to prepare for foundation building.
In the following days, Shen Lian walked around the city a few more times and found that Qianye City was not suitable for his meditation.
This is the central hub city for trade among nearby families of all sizes. Sometimes, spirit ships from chambers of commerce like Tianxialou will dock here, and there is a high flow of monks coming and going.
I still have to do as I thought before and find a remote island as a place to practice.
Finally, Shen Lian chose the Baisha Islands, 2,300 miles away from Chiba Island.
This archipelago is made up of more than 200 islands of various sizes. It lacks spiritual energy and only has some mundane towns.
The waters near the island are not rich in resources and do not produce much profit, so few monks go there.
More importantly, this archipelago is not on the mainstream shipping route, so there is no need to worry about frequent fleet traffic to and from the island.
Spiritual ships like the Tianxialou are too expensive and are rarely used by families. Most families will form their own fleets to transport the huge amount of low-level resources produced on the island.
After making up his mind, Shen Lian did not stay in Qianye City for too long and prepared to set off for the Baisha Islands.
He walked all the way to the dock outside the city, hoping to find a passing ship to board.
But after asking around, he had no choice but to return to Qianye City and prepare to buy a spirit boat.
As expected of the place I had chosen for cultivation, there were very few ships coming and going, and the family fleet that occasionally passed by was not willing to take outsiders on board.
Originally, Shen Lian had not thought about purchasing the spirit boat in such a hurry. He thought it was a bit ostentatious for a Qi training cultivator to ride a spirit boat.
He is different from those fellow Taoists outside who are swaying on the spirit boat.
But if he were to fly to the Baisha Islands by himself, Shen Lian would still choose to buy a spirit boat.
The spirit boat has a core formation that consumes spirit stones to drive it, so that one's spiritual power can be maintained at its peak.
If he flew there by himself, the consumption of his own spiritual power would be a small matter, but he would not be able to find a place to land and would not have time to recover his spiritual power. It would be a big problem if he was attacked.
In Qianye City, in Hailing Pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist, this flying boat is called Flying Fish. Its speed is comparable to that of a ninth-level Qi training master. It is priced at 1,800 spirit stones."
A slender spiritual boat that was as green as jade came into Shen Lian's sight.
"If you think it's expensive, take a look at this Pangui ship. It's made of the shell of a blackwater pangull. Its defense is amazing, but its speed is a little slow. It only costs 900 low-grade spirit stones."
The shopkeeper compared two half-foot-long spirit boats in front of Shen Lian.
Because Shen Lian was wrapped too tightly, the shopkeeper could not see the fluctuation in his expression, nor did he get any response from Shen Lian.
Then he took out an ugly wooden boat with cracks all over its surface from behind the counter.
"Fellow Daoist, this sea-use model only costs two hundred low-grade spirit stones. It is very practical and everyone agrees that it is good."
Shen Lian looked at the three spirit boats in front of him.
The Flying Fish was as green as jade, sparkling with brilliant light.
The Pangui is as black as ink all over and looks very delicate at first glance.
It was a common model used in the sea area, tattered and tattered, as if it was about to fall apart. Most of the Qi-cultivating monks he saw outside were using this type.
Then, Shen Lian pointed to the Flying Fish and the wooden universal model.
"Shopkeeper, do you have a model with the same broken wood as this one, but the same quality as the flying fish?"
Please read it. It is not yet determined when it will be released.
