Chapter 364: Wang Wang Changqing

Han Li looked at the giant fish, which were several feet long, from afar, then flew over the giant boat and circled twice before looking down at the boat.

Clearly, the people on the boat had also discovered Han Li's arrival. After a few loud shouts, a large group of people, numbering two or three hundred, surged out from the cabin, immediately crowding the bow.

This group of people saw Han Li staying in mid-air, and all revealed looks of awe, bowing to Han Li one after another.

Han Li was a bit stunned. A middle-aged man dressed in the most luxurious clothing stepped forward a few steps, speaking a few words with a nervous expression, then stood respectfully to the side, seemingly waiting for Han Li's instructions.

Han Li rubbed his nose and gave a few bitter laughs. Because he couldn't understand a word the other party said. Not being able to communicate made him feel a headache.

At this time, because Han Li didn't speak immediately, the middle-aged man's expression became a bit panicked, and he spoke two more hurried sentences. Although Han Li didn't understand the meaning, he could see that the other party seemed to be trying to explain something to him.

Han Li furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and then spoke in ordinary Tiannan language:

"Is there anyone here who understands what I'm saying? If there is, come out and explain it to me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Li swept his gaze across the crowd below.

The middle-aged man had a blank expression, clearly not knowing what Han Li was saying, and the others looked confused, no better than him.

Sighing helplessly, Han Li switched to several other ancient languages he knew and spoke the same sentence once.

He had learned these ancient languages when he was practicing those tongue-twisting incantations.

When he spoke one of them, an old man with gray hair in the crowd finally had his expression move.

Seeing this, Han Li was overjoyed and pointed at the old man.

"Old sir, do you understand what I'm saying?" Han Li said slowly in that ancient language. After all, he didn't use this language often, so he was quite rusty.

The old man heard Han Li say this, hesitated, then stood beside the middle-aged man and replied respectfully in the ancient language:

"I, Wang Wang Changqing, did indeed learn this immortal language when I was young! I wonder what instructions the Immortal Master has?"

Han Li saw that the old man truly understood the ancient language, and a few smiles appeared on his face. Suddenly, his figure flashed, and he stood in front of the old man, startling both the old man and the middle-aged man.

"You must have seen it too; I don't know the local language. Tell them that I am just passing through and inquiring about some things, so there is no need to be so panicked!" Han Li said gently.

He had just swept the giant boat with his spiritual sense, and everyone on the boat was a mortal; there were no cultivators here. That was why he was so at ease coming down.

After saying this, he didn't care how the old man explained it to the middle-aged man, but beckoned to the Spirit Wind Boat in the sky, and the pure white magic tool slowly descended to the bow with Qu Hun.

Then Qu Hun walked out under Han Li's instruction, while the small boat quickly shrank and turned into a beam of white light, flying into Han Li's hand, where it was put into his storage pouch.

After finishing these things, Han Li glanced sideways slightly.

He found that although the mortals on the boat still maintained a respectful expression, no one revealed a look of shock. This showed that they should be accustomed to seeing the methods of cultivators, otherwise they wouldn't have been so accustomed to it.

In this way, either the people on this boat weren't ordinary families, or there were many cultivators in this area, and they didn't avoid letting mortals see them. Han Li thought thoughtfully.

At this time, the old man had already conveyed Han Li's words to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged

Seeing the other party's expression, Han Li was startled inwardly. He could not help but turn his face toward the old man.

The old man naturally understood Han Li's intention and hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Han Li:

"My lord Immortal Master, this Mr. Gu is the owner of this ship. He intends to invite the Immortal Master to reside on Kui Star Island, where he lives, and he is willing to provide for all the expenses and costs of the Immortal Master's cultivation."

"Kui Star Island?" Han Li rubbed his chin, looking noncommittal.

Seeing Han Li's indifferent expression, the middle-aged man's eyes became even more eager, and another string of words spilled from his mouth. From the way he was fawning while speaking, Han Li understood even without the old man's translation that this person was likely saying the same thing, wanting him to go to that Kui Star Island.

Thus, without waiting for the old man to translate for him, Han Li waved his hand unceremoniously and said:

"First, tell this owner that I have just arrived in this noble land and am not very familiar with the situation here, so I will not rashly agree to anything. After I understand more about things, I will decide whether or not to go to his Kui Star Island. For now, I do not understand your language, and I hope he will allow me to stay on this ship for a few days, letting this old gentleman teach me some of the local language and incidentally learn about the local customs."

Upon hearing this, the old man did not dare to delay and hurriedly explained truthfully to the middle-aged man.

After the middle-aged man heard this, a look of disappointment clearly appeared on his face, but he still bowed respectfully to Han Li. Then, he shouted a few words to the others behind him; instantly, everyone swarmed back into the ship's cabin, and after he himself said something to the old man, he retreated downward.

With this, only the old man and Han Li remained on the bow of the ship.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said to Han Li:

"My lord Immortal Master, Owner Gu has agreed to your request and has even cleared out a superior room for you. The Immortal Master may come with me."

Han Li heard this and nodded faintly, indicating his agreement.

Thus, the old man named Wang Wang Changqing led the way, and Han Li and Qu Hun followed behind him into the ship's cabin.

"It's truly large!" This was Han Li's first impression after entering the ship's cabin.

The interior of the cabin was interconnected in all directions, with corridors and walkways everywhere, and there was no telling how many rooms there were.

During this time, the few mortals Han Li encountered all automatically cleared a path for Han Li with looks of awe on their faces.

After turning a few corners following the old man, Han Li and Qu Hun arrived in front of a relatively large wooden door.

Wang Wang Changqing pushed it open without hesitation, then stepped to one side, inviting Han Li to enter first.

Han Li did not stand on ceremony with him; he and Qu Hun walked into the room one after the other, then looked around.

Truth be told, this room was actually quite good!

Not only was the space large enough, but there was no feeling of stuffiness. But what Han Li found most strange was that in the corner of the room, there was actually a strange little tree planted in a flowerpot.

This tree had a straight main trunk without a single branch, covered in triangular leaves the size of a palm. Moreover, the entire tree was shimmering with silver light, as if it were crafted from pure silver.

Looking at this tree, Han Li revealed a look of curiosity.

"It seems the Immortal Master has never seen this Silver-Horned Tree before! This tree is indeed not a common object. Not only is its appearance magnificent, but when placed in a stuffy area, it can make the air fresh and pure; it is truly a rare treasure for those who travel the seas. Even someone as wealthy and powerful as our owner has only managed to obtain three or four of them." Seeing the look of surprise in Han Li's eyes, the old man respectfully explained to Han Li.

Han Li smiled faintly upon hearing this and said nothing. How could he not hear the fawning intention of this Wang Wang Changqing on behalf of his owner?

Han Li had Qu Hun guard the doorway and sat down on a chair in the room.

Wang Wang Changqing stood somewhat cautiously in front of Han Li, not daring to sit down casually.

Seeing the other party so constrained, Han Li smiled and said to him in a gentle and pleasant manner:

"Mr. Wang, there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down and speak; I still have some matters I would like to properly consult you about."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wang Changqing repeatedly said "I dare not," looking completely terrified.

Seeing this situation, Han Li frowned slightly and stopped forcing the other party.

Thus, after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked directly:

"I am a cultivator who has just arrived here from elsewhere. I wonder if Mr. Wang could first introduce the local terrain and the local customs to me. Of course, if you could say more about matters concerning us cultivators, that would be even better. I will certainly reward you handsomely, old gentleman!"

When Han Li said these words, his expression was extremely calm.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Wang Changqing spoke slowly:

"Since the Immortal Master has arrived here from the outside, you should know that this is the sea area of the Chaotic Star Sea, and this is the southwestern corner of the Chaotic Star Sea. Nearby, there are three large islands: Tail Star Island, Kui Star Island, and Mulberry Star Island. Of course, there are also dozens of other small and medium-sized islands, all of which have Immortal Masters and mortals living on them."

"The people here actually have the same customs as other sea areas. On every island, there will be an Immortal Master with the highest magic power who serves as the Island Master, responsible for guarding the island. If other Immortal Masters are willing to settle on the island and take on certain duties, the Island Master will issue a certain amount of spirit stones annually for their cultivation. But from then on, they must obey the Island Master's orders. Of course, if one wishes to live on the island but is unwilling to take on duties on the island, not only will there be no supply of spirit stones, but one must instead pay a certain amount of spirit stones to the Island Master annually; this way, one can also remain on the island."

Speaking of this, Wang Wang Changqing paused, a look of envy appearing on his face, as if he yearned for cultivators to the extreme.
