on developing waterway trade in recent years, this largest port in Donglai County has also seen remarkable development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous trading ships come and go, stimulating the local fishing industry to thrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village originally dependent on the port is now under great development, showing a trend of transforming into a bustling port town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more people venture out to sea in search of treasure, occasionally turning up precious items that cause a sensation in the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, there is a dedicated treasure appraisal event in the town, where unearthed treasures are displayed, exhibited, and auctioned to maximize profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Song, what do you think of this crimson jade marrow?\" Song Ping’an pointed to the fiery red jade marrow on display at the appraisal event, eye-catching like a piece of true burning jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, make sure to buy it.\" Song Changming glanced at it and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Skin Refining, Muscle Training, and Bone Marrow Cleansing and Body Refining have long been trained to the Seventh Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Marrow Cleansing and Body Refining Skill progressed the fastest, second only to the Bull Demon Skill which has already reached the Extreme Realm, and he was making a push towards the Eighth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This crimson jade marrow, rare and of visibly top grade quality, if acquired, might help him reach the Eighth Realm in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a treasure, Song Changming naturally wouldn’t miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on it these two days.\" Song Ping’an nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a piece of crimson jade marrow doesn’t come cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when auctioned openly at this appraisal event, it could cost more than a thousand silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Song Changming didn’t care, as long as it could enhance his martial strength, spending money and silver extravagantly was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since he will likely ascend Jade Void Mountain next year, gaining every bit of strength beforehand would offer extra security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After viewing this crimson jade marrow, Song Changming wandered around the appraisal event, inspecting other new treasures from the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had become his regular routine every few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d often come to the port town’s appraisal event, joining in the excitement, hoping to find top grade treasures he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having Song Ping’an note down some valuable materials for bidding, Song Changming walked to the portside, gazing at the expansive Luolong River in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the river wasn’t calm, with particularly turbulent currents and abnormal undercurrents surging at the riverbed, occasionally forming sizable whirlpools, which could potentially drag smaller fishing boats into the river’s depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, hot steam would sporadically rise from the river, forming mist in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These anomalies had appeared as early as half a year ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they weren’t noticeable back then, attracting little attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until recently, as these disturbances continued to intensify, affecting the docking of merchant ships, that it drew widespread notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the government was alarmed, deploying personnel from the Cao Yun Bureau to various parts of the river to conduct a specialized investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it really be an underground volcano?\" Song Changming, standing at the dock’s edge, muttered to himself, feeling the abnormal heat rising from the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had such guesses before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were indeed a sign of an impending natural disaster, the devastation upon eruption would be incalculable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the County City, even this increasingly prosperous port town would likely not escape unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for him, with unmatched martial prowess, in the face of a massive natural disaster, he’d be exceedingly insignificant and vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hopefully, I’m wrong.\" Song Changming shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he wasn’t in a position of power, there wasn’t much more he could do in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Song Changming was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a group of people disembarking from a newly docked merchant ship in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were members of the Dinghai Water Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Gu Wenhui took charge of the Seven Prefectures, he quickly discarded a group of Jianghu influences under his command, who were ornamental but useless and insincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included the Dinghai Water Gang, preventing them from exploiting their official position to act recklessly and arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the relationship between the Dinghai Water Gang and the government, though still not very harmonious, no longer immediately escalates to violence upon meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The government controls this port town, sets rules, and permits the Dinghai Water Gang to conduct trade at the port, provided they follow the rules set by the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, the Dinghai Water Gang became considerably more compliant and had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood well that the times had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Gu Wenhui’s rule, the local government’s authority far surpassed before, and should the Dinghai Water Gang stir trouble, they’d risk being entirely eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, their influence on the waters was no longer as formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was merely this group of compliant Dinghai Water Gang members, Song Changming wouldn’t have paid much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What caught his notice were the figures walking down next to the Dinghai Water Gang members, wearing cloaks and covering their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, Song Changming found them somewhat familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they not the Dongcang Three Dragons chased away some years ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an old story now, from the time when the Xiao Family ruled Donglai Prefecture. Back then, Song Changming had crossed paths with one of the Dongcang Three Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now having traversed the Fifth Prince’s reign, and onto Gu Wenhui’s kingship, the three bandit leaders who once gave the government immense headaches, had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Song, what’s up?\" asked Song Ping’an, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, just saw a few old acquaintances.\" Song Changming replied with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what the bandit leaders returned for, it had little to do with Song Changming, now an ordinary man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join me for a stroll by the river, we’ll head back shortly.\" Song Changming continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mainly wanted to further investigate the extraordinary situation of the Luolong River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Ping’an nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking along the riverbank for a while, they noticed some fish occasionally floating belly-up to the surface, adding to the growing severity on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a faint feeling that something was about to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist over the river grew thicker, with the warmth continuously spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a sharp and large fish several meters long emerged from the river, smashing half of the dock as it got stuck in the muddy wall, struggling frantically, creating considerable commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this a Black Sword Exotic Blood Fish? Why did it suddenly rush ashore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful, this fierce fish is very dangerous, don’t get too close!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many on the shore were astonished, while others, observing the increasingly unusual river, felt an unsettling sense of anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the destroyed dock attracted a team of Cao Yun Bureau soldiers, intending to deal with the rampaging fierce fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, another large fish, previously buried in the riverbed, burst forth, its huge form like a water monster, destroying another merchant ship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, more and more people realized something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river seemed on the verge of erupting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, it’s dangerous here, let’s return.\" An accompanying old servant urged from another part of the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is part of my training journey south, how can I leave just like that? I want to see what caused Luolong River’s abnormality, staying might even present an opportunity!\" Li Pu, walking along the shore, expressed with an intrigued look, observing the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, suddenly an explosion seemed to occur at a certain spot on the river, as if a missile had been dropped, erupting on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a muffled boom, the water’s surface bulged and exploded, sending up rocks and muddy water, instantly muddying a large area of the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the shore, Song Changming could distinctly feel the ground shaking, prompting him to pull Song Ping’an back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the commotion on the river continued, with countless dense schools of fish emerging from the depths, jumping wildly on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was seeing this spectacle for the first time, astonished beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened just now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such abundant resources, feels like you could cast a line, and catch fish even with your eyes closed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking, I knew something was strange about this river recently, and today proved it! Let’s go, let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry! Quickly sail the ships away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-06T07:08:24.971Z",1,"novelbin.me","ffca457cab11d225758cbeb05390fe898fdc695cb4fc2ad798d9736652b3127b","eternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-chapter-154","eternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-chapter-152",478,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-lifespan-increases-daily-cover.jpg"]
