Chapter 414: Life and Death Stage
Also, he didn't know what Linyuan City was like. Could he pick up leaks at the stall square there!
And the scale of the stone gambling workshop here should be even larger, right! He hoped it could bring him some surprises at that time.
He shook his head to restrain his wandering thoughts, took out the No-Thought Jade Cushion from his storage bag, and then began to cultivate.
Early the next morning, after completing the basic cultivation of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra and packing everything up, he went to meet up with Chen Zi Ya and the others.
Now, the place where they met was basically Chen Zi Ya's room, but today they didn't have any intention of staying in the room.
So the four of them went together to the deck to admire the magnificent scenery of the Endless Sea.
Because there was no need to hunt demon beasts today, there were actually very few cultivators on the deck! Of course, no matter how spectacular the scenery was, after looking at it for several months, anyone would get tired of it.
For a period at the beginning, people came to the deck every day to admire and comprehend the waves and vastness of the Endless Sea! The four of them occupied the best position at the bow of the ship, watching the surging seawater being split into two by the giant bow.
If viewed from the air, it was like a giant pair of scissors cutting open the deep blue sea surface.
Not long after, the cultivators of the two sects on the deck gradually increased. Of course, during this time, the most numerous were still the female cultivators of the Immortal Sound Sect.
At this time, Mu Jiuyin and Lu Yuling also came over. Both of them had also participated in this trial to snatch spots.
They often covered for each other with Lin Zhangqing, and they could be considered to have some tacit understanding.
However, the matter of sparring that they had agreed upon before hadn't been carried out. In fact, there was no need to carry it out.
The two of them had cooperated and seen each other's means, and in their hearts, they roughly knew each other's depth. Therefore, Mu Jiuyin now still addressed him as "Senior Brother Lin!"
After greeting Lin Zhangqing, the five female cultivators hit it off. After about two or three hours,
a hazy black shadow appeared in front of everyone. Lin Zhangqing knew they had finally arrived! Many cultivators around couldn't help but cheer.
After a short while, the treasure ship finally approached a massive port. Around the port, thousands of ships of different sizes were docked in an orderly fashion.
But there was not a single ship that could be mentioned in the same breath as the Town-Sea Ship. Common ones were spirit ships fifty or sixty zhang long.
And as far as the eye could see, the largest spirit ship one could see was only about three hundred zhang long, which was roughly equivalent to a fraction of the Town-Sea Ship.
It was also true that finding a material over a thousand zhang long that was also suitable to be used as a keel was truly not that easy.
So, counting all the ships encountered on the Endless Sea during this period, there wasn't a single one as large as the treasure ship they were riding. No wonder it dared to be named the Town-Sea Ship!
At this time, the Town-Sea Ship had already approached a massive berth. Before long, this giant thing came to a standstill.
At this moment, Chen Shan Zhenren's voice sounded in the ears of all the Qingyun Sect disciples again: "All Qingyun Sect disciples, before leaving the ship, hand over the restriction jade tokens in your hands to the people of the Wanbao Pavilion."
"Then gather at the open space on the pier. After the matters are explained, everyone will set off for Linyuan City together!"
As soon as he entered, he immediately piloted his sword and flew into mid-air. He saw that the area inside the inner space was indeed much larger than when he had left last time.
After a while, the Golden Core True Persons of the two sects finally came out. On the Qingyun Sect side, Chen Shan Zhenren spoke again: "I have three things to explain! The first thing: the ranking for hunting demon cores has been calculated. The result for the one-hundredth place is eight hundred and seventy second-stage low-grade and thirty-five second-stage mid-grade demon cores."
"Those with results better than this are the cultivators who have obtained the qualification for the Jiazi Trial. Now, stand to my left hand side, and I will issue you the credentials to participate in the trial."
As soon as he finished speaking, a portion of the Qingyun Sect disciples sighed in disappointment. These people should have participated in the hunt but didn't snatch a spot.
However, there was also a portion of people who quickly stood to the left. Of course, this included Lin Zhangqing.
Chen Shan Zhenren swept his gaze over them, flipped his hand, and a hundred jade tokens flew out. Lin Zhangqing received one in his hand and looked.
The jade token was moist and crystalline throughout, and it was actually a second-stage upper-grade defensive spiritual artifact, with text on both sides.
On the front, "Qingyun Sect" and the sect mark were carved in intaglio; on the back was a white lotus, with the two characters "Jiazi" carved in the middle.
After everyone had seen the jade token, Chen Shan Zhenren continued: "The jade token credential in your hands is also a second-stage upper-grade defensive spiritual artifact."
"It is a gift from Ziyan Zhenren, hoping that this batch of disciples from the Qingyun Corner can all successfully come out of the secret realm."
Everyone heard this and thanked Ziyan Zhenren one after another.
However, she just waved her hand and didn't say anything! At this time, Chen Shan Zhenren continued: "The second thing is that we will rest in Linyuan City for three days. You solve your own accommodation problems."
"But everyone is coming to Linyuan City for the first time, and this is not our territory. Do not go around causing trouble; otherwise, we might not be able to protect you! Do you know why this place is called Linyuan City? Linyuan City means 'approaching the abyss'."
"Because the cultivators here need to frequently go out to sea to hunt demon beasts and earn cultivation resources."
"They are not like you, having us help you keep watch, specifically selecting suitable demon beast groups for you to trial and hunt."
"All the demon beasts they encounter are completely dependent on luck. If they unfortunately encounter third or fourth-stage demon beasts and feed the demon beasts themselves, that is also a very normal thing."
"Therefore, every time they go out to sea to hunt demon beasts, they are facing life and death, just like approaching an abyss, so this place is called Linyuan City."
"Of course, taking this name can also be considered a warning to all cultivators who go out to sea to hunt demon beasts! Now you know how fierce the cultivators here are, right?"
"Also, there is a Life and Death Stage here. Cultivators who have grievances can resolve them on it, which is to decide life and death."
"Do not be provoked by anyone and agree to go up to the Life and Death Stage. That is completely seeking death. And if you die on it, we have no way to avenge you."
"So, you must try to stay together in groups of a few people here; do not run around everywhere alone!"
"Then, at the Chen Hour the day after tomorrow, everyone will meet ten li outside the South Gate of Linyuan City. At that time, we will set off together to return to the sect residence on this side."
"Do not be late; otherwise, we will not wait for you. At that time, you will have to find your own way back to the sect residence!"
