The sailors around them were all delighted to see their companion slowly regain consciousness, but Liu Yuan, watching from the side, shook his head. He didn't know why Jiang Yun was wasting his energy saving a hopeless person.
"What did you see?"
Hearing Jiang Yun's question, A Lin, who had been somewhat awake, suddenly widened his eyes. He said in horror:
'"day by day......."
Ah Lin had just uttered a word when he suddenly roared hoarsely, like a wild animal being strangled. He instantly died.
"Ah..." The sailors around were all startled. Alin's expression and voice just now were too scary.
Seeing Jiang Yun let go of the other person's wrist, Liu Yuan had him buried at sea, and then took Jiang Yun away from the small and low cabin.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, some things are better left unexamined. Before I sailed on the sea, I also thought this world was a world of immortal cultivators. But after seeing more, I realize that we are just a speck of dust in this world."
After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Jiang Yun to say anything, leaving Jiang Yun alone in deep thought.
Looking at the sea in the distance, it was already dark, but the merchant ship did not stop and continued to sail into the depths of darkness. Jiang Yun looked at the dark sea outside, only some unknown luminous creature suddenly swam by, like a phantom, leaving behind a trace of afterglow.
He no longer thought about the huge black scale that changed the sky. According to what Liu Yuan said today, he might have discovered it, but the other party did not pay attention to it and was not affected at all.
The next day, just after sunrise, the ship, having sailed all night, finally approached a huge island. This merchant ship had arrived at Xuanyang Island, its first stop.
Xuanyang Island is the Ziyang Sect's sphere of influence in the East China Sea. Although it is not as large as Yunteng Island, it is still much larger than an average island. Before the merchant ship arrived, Jiang Yun, standing on the deck, saw a huge city.
This city borders the sea on one side, but extends directly into the island. The harbor near the sea is extremely prosperous, with numerous merchant ships coming and going. Compared to Yunteng Island, which consists of three cities, Xuanyang Island may be small, but Xuanyang City is indeed huge.
Because this island only has this one city, and in order to facilitate the passage of merchant ships, a large port was built near the sea. The ship that Jiang Yun was originally on also became small in front of this port.
"Alright, let's rest in Xuanyang City for three days and then set off on time!"
Following Liu Yuan's command, the crew, impatient for a moment, hurriedly moored the boat and prepared to enter Xuanyang City for a tour. Only the mortal sailors were unloading the cargo, preparing to sell it.
"Let's go! Jiang Yun!"
Zhang Miaomiao's face was also full of excitement. Looking at the other person's face, Jiang Yun thought of something and said quickly:
"To be on the safe side, let's disguise ourselves and enter!" Jiang Yun didn't want to cause any trouble at this time. He had been in Ziyang City for many years. And Zhang Miaomiao had been a member of the Ziyang Sect since she was a child.
At this time, Ziyang City had already fallen, and if the two of them appeared here, it would be troublesome if they were seen by someone with ulterior motives.
“What a hassle!”
Zhang Miaomiao muttered something, but still took out a strange mask given to her by her father, gently put it on her face, and it immediately disappeared from her face. But a strange face appeared in front of Jiang Yun again.
"Okay," Jiang Yun said, and he used the disguise technique to change his appearance. Then the two of them got off the boat and entered this huge city.
The first step for the two of them was of course to go out for a nice meal, which was what Zhang Miaomiao was most looking forward to.
Sure enough, although fish is still the main dish, the taste of the food in Xuanyang City is different from that in Canghai City.
The distance from Xuanyang City to Canghai City was not considered short for Jiang Yun, a cultivator. It took Jiang Yun over ten days to reach the destination on the Liu family's merchant ship. And this was even with the help of a cultivation formation.
For ordinary mortals, this island is the entire world they live in. At most, they will wander around some nearby mortal islands. A mortal has no chance to go to another large island. That's why there are different tastes.
After finishing her big meal, Zhang Miaomiao started to follow Jiang Yun around Xuanyang City with satisfaction.
Jiang Yun was mainly buying auxiliary medicines for the Shenpo Pills, and also collecting rare seeds and spiritual medicines. Zhang Miaomiao was quite excited at first, but after visiting four or five shops in a row, they were all the same, and she gradually became a little annoyed.
"I'll go for a walk," Jiang Yun nodded after hearing Zhang Miaomiao's words.
"Remember to gather at that time. Let's book the inn at the Xianjuyuan we just passed by!"
Zhang Miaomiao nodded and left quickly.
Jiang Yun shook his head. Ever since leaving Master Haoyi, Zhang Miaomiao had truly become like a wild horse, uncontrollable. He only hoped she would soon realize that everything else was just passing talk, and cultivating immortality was the only true path.
Putting Zhang Miaomiao's concerns behind him, Jiang Yun continued to shop around. The spiritual herbs needed for the Spirit Pill were difficult to gather, but many shops offered Beast Souls. However, most required a wait. Only two shops had any in stock, and Jiang Yun had already secured most of them.
At this time, Zhang Miaomiao, who bought whatever she liked on the street, suddenly met an acquaintance.
"Is it you?"
Zhang Miaomiao looked at the elegantly dressed woman in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim.
This elegantly dressed woman, with a touch of makeup on her face and a golden hairpin adorning her head, was dressed in a multicolored purple dress. She was accompanied by several servants, all of whom were looking at Zhang Miaomiao warily.
"Who are you? Do I recognize you?"
When Zhang Miaomiao heard what the other party said, she immediately realized that her appearance had changed, and Jiang Yun had also told her not to cause trouble. She said in a panic;
"Oh, sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
After saying this, Zhang Miaomiao turned and left, and the elegant woman frowned. She looked at Zhang Miaomiao's figure and felt that she was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
Thinking of this, she said to a servant beside her.
"Send someone to secretly follow her and find out where she lives. Report back to me!"
After leaving the street, Zhang Miaomiao took a few quick steps before stopping. The woman she had just met was Yun Peixue, a close childhood playmate. Both were daughters of Ziyang Jindan Zhenren. When she was very young, her father took her back to the sect for a while. That time was one of her few fond memories.
But after her father left for Ziyang City, they never saw each other again. And so began Zhang Miaomiao's loneliness. Unexpectedly, she saw him here. She began to struggle with whether to reveal her identity to him. She paid no attention to the looming figure behind her, following her closely.
