Chapter 198: Lonely Sail Distant Shadow, Lancang Surging

"It rose by one point!"

One point, it seems very little.

But you must know, Luo Chen reached the perfect level a long time ago.

When he was at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, it was around three hundred and fifty.

Later, he broke through to Foundation Establishment and experienced three years of closed-door cultivation.

In such a long time, it only rose by one hundred proficiency points, the progress was simply as slow as a snail.

Often, it would take many operations to increase one proficiency point.

Didn't expect that this time, with the help of evil energy cultivation, the proficiency increased so quickly.

"If the subsequent speed doesn't slow down, relying on the ten Rock Floating Stones on my body, which is one hundred wisps of Earth Fire evil energy, I can almost rush to the Grandmaster level."

"Even if the quantity is not enough, I can borrow some from Brother Wang."

He never worried about whether Wang Yuan would lend it to him.

Buddies!

Grandmaster-level Bright Spirit Breaking Evil might be able to have a good effect on soul improvement.

"Move the medicinal materials in!"

"Put it there, put it there, put it on the shelf first."

While Luo Chen was thinking, bustling sounds came from outside.

Qu Lingjun's old-fashioned voice was particularly prominent.

The pill room door opened.

Qu Lingjun looked at Luo Chen inside, and the whole person froze.

"Master, you are so early?"

Luo Chen's face was serious: "Lingjun, the plan for the day lies in the morning, you are lazy."

After saying this, he left the pill room to prepare for pill refining.

Qu Lingjun stood dazed in the pill room, not having recovered.

He subconsciously walked out and looked at the misty sky outside.

"Am I not early enough?"

"Yes!"

"I heard from Aunt Gu and Aunt Xia before that Master often gets up at Yin or Mao time in the early morning to cultivate and process medicinal materials."

"I am indeed not hard-working enough!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing an inspirational look.

Master, Lingjun will definitely not live up to your expectations, I must work harder in the future!

The preparation work before leaving was extremely complicated.

Even Luo Chen was busy.

Pill refining, pill refining, still pill refining!

In three months, he had to refine as many Jade Marrow Pills as possible.

Only then would he have enough funds to gain a foothold in other places.

Apart from pill refining, it was capturing ghosts on the outskirts of the ghost city to help Bai Meiling cultivate.

The cultivation of Bright Spirit Breaking Evil also did not stop.

This technique created by a secular martial arts master was truly peculiar.

Clearly four-unlike, but it has improvements in all aspects.

Now Luo Chen focused it on tempering will and exercising the soul, gradually having a determined direction.

No longer four-unlike, but a spirit-refining technique designated by Luo Chen.

Wang Yuan was not idle either.

With Luo Chen's affirmation, he went deep into the earth vein every night to seize Earth Fire evil energy.

It took a full ten days to finish collecting it.

Luo Chen asked for ten more portions, and the rest all belonged to Wang Yuan.

This is also a considerable asset; if taken out for sale, Wang Yuan can also accumulate some family foundation.

The only sequela is that the Earth Fire of Little Huan Mountain is getting weaker and weaker.

Later, when Qu Lingjun refined pills, he couldn't even use the formation to draw Earth Fire out.

It gave him a fright.

Luo Chen comforted him, and returned to the primitive way of using firewood to start a fire for pill refining.

In this way, time passed like water.

One month later!

On Little Huan Mountain.

More than three hundred cultivators looked at the huge flying boat slowly rising into the sky with complex expressions.

It was thirty zhang long and fifteen zhang wide.

Floating in the sky, it seemed to be able to cover the clouds and avoid the sun.

After stepping onto this flying boat later.

It meant that they were about to move away from this "hometown" of Dahe Marketplace.

What will the outside world be like?

Will there be new life encounters?

Can I come back after many years?

No one knows; they only know that Dahe Marketplace will have a Ghost King born not long after, and this place will become a human hell.

It is not suitable for human cultivation.

So, this time, they must go.

Even if there is more reluctance, more confusion, more hesitation.

When the flying boat stopped, a figure poked his head out and waved below.

It was Duan Feng!

To operate such a large flying boat, in the Luo Tian Society, only he and Luo Chen could do it.

The former relied on technology, and the latter relied on realm.

Luo Chen stood below and nodded in approval.

"Among the Duan family's legacy, except for that puppet comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the Sky Eagle Flying Boat is the most valuable."

Murong Qinglian stood on the side and smiled: "Indeed, this flying boat is of high-grade quality, enough to carry a thousand people to fly. The price is definitely top-notch among high-grade magic tools."

The Duan family left three flying boats.

Two high-grade, one medium-grade.

When Luo Chen went to see Xu Ji of the Falling Cloud Sect before, he sat on the other one.

As for the medium-grade one, he rewarded it to Sima Hui Niang.

After all, she is the President of the Luo Tian Society, and she must have some style when traveling.

"President, I'll go arrange for everyone to get on the boat first."

"Hmm."

Luo Chen nodded and still stood behind.

Watching one person after another go up, Luo Chen turned his head and said to Qin Liangchen:

"Sister-in-law's cultivation progress seems to have surpassed you?"

Qin Liangchen nodded calmly, not surprised that Luo Chen could see through it.

Luo Chen frowned: "Didn't the Nangong family send you a section of Lotus Seven Aperture Lotus Root? After using it, there was no effect?"

"The effect is naturally there."

Qin Liangchen sighed, showing a bitter smile.

"But it's not as good as the original after all!"

The Lotus Seven Aperture Lotus Root is Tier 3; can't this restore it to its original state?

Luo Chen looked at Qin Liangchen, whose temples were slightly white, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

When Luo Chen first met Qin Liangchen, the other party was in his prime, only forty-nine years old.

Luo Chen was very sure about this point.

Because he had asked Qin Liangchen many times about the cultivation speed of various spiritual roots.

Calculating the time, Qin Liangchen is fifty-seven years old now!

There are only three years left until the sixty-year limit most suitable for breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

And he is still a distance away from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

On the contrary, his wife Murong Qinglian, who is relatively younger, has caught up from behind and is about to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

If this continues.

Qin Liangchen will inevitably miss the most suitable time to break through.

When Luo Chen was deep in thought, Qin Liangchen's emotional voice sounded in his ear.

"Don't worry about me."

"Getting old, these things have been taken lightly."

"Now I am injury-free and disease-free, which is much better than before. My only wish is to see Little Tiger."

"The Falling Cloud Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect have started fighting, and I don't know how he is doing inside."

Qin Liangchen smiled freely at Luo Chen, then cast the Wind Control Art and flew onto the Sky Eagle Boat.

Looking at his back, Luo Chen felt heavy.

Really taken lightly?

I'm afraid, he still can't let go in his heart!

Any practitioner, when facing the fact that they are only one step away from Foundation Establishment, is interrupted, will always be unwilling.

Sighed.

Luo Chen was also powerless.

He had already done his best for this friend, Qin Liangchen, even gifting the precious Foundation Establishment Pill to the other party.

Ordinary resources were also never treated unfairly.

This can be seen from Murong Qinglian's increasingly fast cultivation progress.

But cultivation is such a thing.

After all, it cannot be done by others.

"Each has their own fate!"

While Luo Chen was sighing, the Sky Eagle Flying Boat had already finished loading people.

The Luo Tian Society has developed over the past few years, and under Sima Hui Niang's strict requirements, most of the people recruited are powerful and have relatively clean backgrounds.

It is precisely because of this that the number has not gone up.

The number of more than three hundred people is not worth mentioning for the Sky Eagle Flying Boat that can carry a thousand people.

"Master, get on the boat!"

On the flying boat, Qu Lingjun waved his hand and shouted at him excitedly.

Luo Chen smiled helplessly.

Young people!

When others leave their hometown, they are full of melancholy.

Only young people like Qu Lingjun are full of anticipation and excitement.

"President, get on the boat!"

"President, please get on the boat!"

Perhaps infected by Qu Lingjun, unknowingly, other Alchemist Hall cultivators followed and called him.

Later, many Luo Tian Society cultivators stood outside the deck, looking at him from afar.

"Fine!"

"Coming, coming!"

Luo Chen laughed loudly, white clouds rose under his feet, dragging him into the Sky Eagle Flying Boat.

Wherever he passed, the Luo Tian Society cultivators looked at him respectfully.

Arriving at the third floor of the flying boat, Luo Chen looked at Little Huan Mountain, which was beautiful with mountains and rivers below.

Goodbye!

His gaze wandered, falling in the direction of Slanting Moon Valley.

Goodbye.

Finally, looking at the gloomy and terrifying Dahe Marketplace Ghost City.

Goodbye, Dahe Marketplace!

"Everyone pay attention!"

"When the flying boat starts, do not move rashly, do not cast spells..."

"Rise!"

As Duan Feng's steady voice fell, the Sky Eagle Flying Boat made a buzzing sound.

A layer of pale cyan halo slowly spread out, wrapping the entire flying boat.

Buzz!

Whoosh!

The huge flying boat turned into a light shadow, quickly moving away from Dahe Marketplace.

Lancang Wharf!

The largest water transport collection and transfer center in Dahe Marketplace.

It has always been controlled by the Dahe Gang.

After years of operation, it even developed a Clear River Long Street centered on this.

It's a pity that Wang Yuan's battle years ago smashed this street into a mess.

Even if it was rebuilt later, it did not return to the most prosperous state of popularity.

But today.

It is completely different.

Gu Caiyi, Feng Xia, and Yuan Xiaoyue, several women, lay on the deck railing, poking their little heads out, looking below.

I saw people mountain people sea, voices and voices, people coming and going like weaving.

The noisy clamor went straight to the sky.

Even if wrapped by the flying boat formation, they could hear the noise below.

"Sister Caiyi, there are so many people below!" Yuan Xiaoyue said excitedly.

Feng Xia also said in surprise: "Even when Dahe Marketplace was at its most prosperous, I haven't seen such a scene, right!"

Gu Caiyi is in a high position in the Luo Tian Society and knows much more than them.

Looking at the noisy scene below, she sighed:

"It's natural for there to be many people."

"The news that our four major factions are leaving cannot be hidden from people, and the specific time is set for today, so loose cultivators have also learned about it through many inquiries."

"They, this is wanting to leave with us!"

Yuan Xiaoyue asked curiously: "Can they leave by themselves?"

"It's not that simple."

Gu Caiyi shook her head: "Although Dahe Marketplace is prosperous, its geographical location is truly very remote. The nearest Snow Lotus Marketplace is thousands of miles away."

"And our destination this time is Taishan Marketplace, which is even further!"

"Such a long journey, relying on loose cultivators to fly by themselves, the time it takes is too long. The dangers on the road are countless."

Yuan Xiaoyue still didn't understand very well.

She was born in Dahe Marketplace and has been carefully protected by her father and grandfather since childhood.

Even after her father passed away, she was well taken care of by Luo Chen.

She simply didn't understand the danger of traveling far.

Feng Xia was more understanding and explained it carefully to her on the side.

There are only a few roads to Taishan Marketplace.

Walking on land, one has to cross several big mountains, inside which there are countless monsters, only Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators can walk on flat ground.

So, for so many years, cultivators from Dahe Marketplace have traveled by water.

This water route is not slow, relying on ships to go downstream, and it is also very spiritual power-saving.

The only thing to worry about is the monsters that appear from time to time in the Lancang River.

But the Dahe Gang is already familiar with dealing with water monsters.

So, the water route is undoubtedly relatively safe!

The only thing to consider is the "cost".

"Fifty low-grade spirit stones?!!!"

Yuan Xiaoyue's little mouth opened wide, forming a cute 'o' shape.

Just sitting on a boat once, actually costs so much money?

Gu Caiyi smiled lightly: "In ordinary times, it naturally doesn't take so much. This isn't the Dahe Gang taking the opportunity to raise prices and make a big profit."

"The heart is really black!" Yuan Xiaoyue spat out her little tongue, revealing a classic expression!

"Black is naturally black."

"But there are still plenty of people buying boat tickets. If it's a bit late, I'm afraid they won't even be able to buy them."

Gu Caiyi looked at the black crowd blocking the front of the dozen or so ships below, her expression extremely emotional.

"If it weren't for Luo Chen's light, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to get a ship for free."

Amidst her emotion.

A cultivator flew out from the Dahe Gang.

Dressed in luxurious clothes, his temperament was outstanding, and his flying style had a set of rules and bearing.

Floating outside the Sky Eagle Flying Boat, he cupped his hands.

"I am Elder Min Longyu, ordered by Gang Leader Wang to come and receive the fellow Daoists of the Luo Tian Society."

"Trouble fellow Daoist Min."

Sima Hui Niang stepped out from the crowd and stood side by side with him.

The two communicated with each other and determined many trivial matters.

Then the Sky Eagle Flying Boat, under Duan Feng's control, crossed the black crowd at the wharf and slowly landed above a large ship.

Sima Hui Niang bid farewell to Elder Min Longyu and flew over.

Greeting everyone to get off the boat and enter the large ship.

At the same time, she arranged who would guard and patrol, and who would be responsible for cleaning the cabins.

The large materials brought by the Luo Tian Society were also taken out one by one and placed in the cabin.

Many trivial matters were arranged in an orderly manner in her hands.

From beginning to end, Luo Chen did not appear.

After the Luo Tian Society entered the ship.

The Li family cultivators, who were closest, gradually revealed their figures from afar.

Large swaths of cultivators flew over slowly, and on the ground, many mortal martial artists were running fast riding dragon horses.

This is the real dragging of families, moving the whole clan!

The appearance of the Nangong family was also like this.

It's just that compared to the deep-rooted Li family, their population was much smaller.

And on the wharf, loose cultivators buying boat tickets were endless, not seeing any decrease at all.

The Dahe Gang's magic tool large ships, there are five in total, and there are five other small magic tool ships.

The rest are just ordinary ships with formations arranged on them.

Five large ships, three were given to the Luo Tian Society, Li family, and Nangong family.

The remaining two, one was occupied by the Dahe Gang's high-level, and the last one was all used to escort goods.

Then, there were five small magic tool ships, all of which were used to carry passengers.

Each ship can accommodate hundreds of people, and if squeezed, a thousand people is not a problem.

Every loose cultivator who gets on the ship needs to pay a boat ticket fee of fifty spirit stones.

It can be said that this time the Dahe Gang is really making a big fortune.

At once, they want to fish for tens of thousands of spirit stones!

It is truly black-hearted to the extreme.

But even so, there are still many loose cultivators pursuing safety who grit their teeth and buy boat tickets.

Of course, more are those who are shy of money and spend one spirit stone as two.

They also have ways.

Either make their own rafts and small boats, or plan to follow and fly on the side.

In short, they must go together!

For the latter, the Dahe Gang cultivators didn't care.

Anyway, when they reach the Lancang River and encounter danger, they will know that some cheap things are not so easy to take.

In this delay, time passed slowly.

By evening, the yellow sunset sprinkled the river, and all the ships were ready.

A long and low voice, accompanied by deep spiritual power, instantly spread throughout Lancang Wharf.

"Set off!"

One word out, and there was a chorus of voices.

"Obey the Gang Leader's order, hoist the sails!"

"Obey the Gang Leader's order, hoist the sails!"

"Obey the Gang Leader's order, hoist the sails!"

Swish swish swish!!!

Large sails fell one after another from every ship.

Under the control of the helmsman, more than a dozen ships slowly set sail.

Dahe Marketplace, where people left and the marketplace was empty, sat alone outside the wild mountains, watching their departure.

No sound, no farewell.

Only the lonely sail's distant shadow, Lancang surging.

It's a new month, and Luo Chen has also embarked on a new journey.

If you have monthly tickets, show some support.
