128. Chapter 128: Meeting an Old Friend (Monthly ticket requested)

A few days later.

Flying boat parking area.

Another big-bellied flying boat came from the distant horizon, landing shakily.

After the flying boat stopped steadily, the big door opened with a bang, and a large number of cultivators walked out, rubbing shoulders.

Among them, some had faces full of expectation for the future, while others couldn't hide their sorrow.

The flying boat next to it had finished inspection and was ready to take off at any time. A large amount of goods were being moved onto it, and occasionally there were a few passengers with faces full of fatigue and weariness.

All of this formed a sharp contrast.

"It's actually quite interesting."

Fang Xing's cultivation clone was wearing a silver Dharma robe, preparing to line up to board the ship.

He was naturally the junior nephew mentioned by his true self.

Su Ye might still have some thoughts about Fang Yun, but for a Qi Condensation junior, it wasn't worth calculating, so she directly gave him the clearance documents and tokens.

Fang Xing took them and went to board the ship.

This body of his, even if a Jin Dan cultivator came, would only think he was a Qi Condensation junior, without any flaws.

"Stop, you want to board the ship?"

At the boarding gate, two Wan Shouzong Sect disciples stopped Fang Xing: "Boat ticket, token?"

They looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with shrewd and fierce faces.

One on the left was leading a spiritual dog, and another had a mouse head poking out from his bosom; its mouse eyes emitted an inch-long light—it was actually a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!

The Wan Shouzong Sect is famous for beast taming, and naturally many of its disciples are quite proficient in this.

"Boat ticket, token is here."

Fang Xing took out a wooden board boat ticket and a letter from the package on his back.

The wooden board looked very simple, but it cost a mid-grade spiritual stone, much more expensive than before!

As for what was written in the letter, it didn't matter; what mattered was the Foundation Establishment cultivator's magic power imprint on it!

"Hmm? It's actually a guarantee from that Foundation Establishment senior of the Profound Heaven Sect?"

The Wan Shouzong Sect disciple leading the spiritual dog was a bit surprised, looking at the one next to him: "Senior Brother Brother Lian?"

"Haha, fellow Daoist, don't blame us; our three sects are of the same branch, all our own people, but the procedures still have to be followed..."

Senior Brother Brother Lian stroked his Treasure-Seeking Mouse, letting it sniff Fang Xing's package.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xing's expression was calm, but inwardly he felt lucky.

He had guessed that the Wan Shouzong Sect's flying boat wouldn't be so simple, and it was possible there would be some security inspection measures.

After all, that Wan Shouzong Sect Jin Dan sent people to look for the leftover treasures, so naturally, he had to guard against embezzlement.

Therefore, he had long ago put the Ten Thousand Laws Tripod, second-rank demon core, and other valuable items into the bronze ring, and packed a large amount of processed medicinal herbs, along with two other storage bags, and threw them all to his true self.

At this time, he was clean, and besides a hundred or so spiritual stones, he only had a few first-rank magic tools.

If the Wan Shouzong Sect still killed him for treasure after seeing these, then Fang Xing had nothing to say, and would just destroy the Wan Shouzong Sect after he became stronger later.

"Speaking of which... my transmigration was initially anchored to the place of transmigration... now it is anchored to where the cultivation clone is..."

"Therefore, after the cultivation clone reaches the familiar land, the true self can come directly... From now on, the transmigration coordinate will be in the familiar land."

"It's a pity I can't leave a transmigration anchor here, otherwise it would be much more convenient..."

Just as Fang Xing was distracted, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse had already sniffed all over his body, and there was nothing unusual.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, please board the ship; the room is on the second floor, Yi-3..."

Senior Brother Brother Lian smiled and cupped his hands.

"This spiritual pet of yours is truly mysterious... The wonder of the Wan Shouzong Sect's beast taming is truly fascinating."

Fang Xing felt this was somewhat similar to the beast tamers of the interstellar era, and couldn't help but want to explore it.

"Hehe, the journey is long; we fellow Daoists can gather together, discuss the Dao over tea, or hold a small trading meeting..." Senior Brother Brother Lian had a good personality and answered with a smile.

Only after Fang Xing entered the cabin did he become calm.

"Senior Brother?"

The junior brother leading the spiritual dog lowered his voice: "This person doesn't seem to have disguised himself or hidden his cultivation... Otherwise, he would have been discovered by this 'Mountain-Seeking Dog' long ago. This was specifically bestowed by Senior Uncle Brother Lian, and unless a Jin Dan True Lord makes a move, it can't be deceived..."

"No treasure light, and he shouldn't have brought any treasures above the second rank. This body is too clean, which is strange instead... Qinglin Market is not a good place; after coming here to risk his life, he left without bringing anything?"

Senior Brother Brother Lian suddenly asked: "Did you notice his cultivation?"

"Woof woof woof!"

Before the junior brother could answer, the Mountain-Seeking Dog barked three times.

"Seventh level of Qi Condensation, huh. I didn't expect this person to be a late-stage Qi Condensation master at such a young age." The junior brother couldn't help but sigh: "After this mission is completed, when I return to the sect, I should also be able to exchange for a Small Breakthrough Pill and break through to late-stage Qi Condensation, right?"

"That person's face is very young, and he doesn't look like he has taken any youth-preserving pills... It's possible that he himself is a big treasure!" Senior Brother Brother Lian stroked his chin.

"This... in the Cultivation World, there are many ways to preserve youth; some cultivation methods come with youth-preserving effects, and there are also secret techniques... Isn't that too arbitrary?"

The junior brother was a bit hesitant: "What's more... no matter how good a talent he is, he would have been spotted by the Foundation Establishment elders of the Profound Heaven Sect long ago. What can you and I do?"

"Hmph, the Profound Heaven Sect was okay before, but after the Jin Dan True Lord died, it became a broken-down house."

Senior Brother Brother Lian sneered, and then said: "I'm just guessing. On this journey, we can communicate more, and by the way, examine a few other fat sheep..."

"Everything is up to Senior Brother."

This junior brother was very helpless, but who told this Senior Brother to be surnamed Brother Lian!

Not only was the late Foundation Establishment cultivator "Brother Lian Brother Lian Fengqi" who guarded Qinglin Market his grand-uncle, but this bloodline was even related to the sect's Golden Core Old Ancestor.

Naturally, he could do whatever he wanted, and even if something happened, the Foundation Establishment elder in charge of escorting would only favor him.

Yi-3 room.

The room was not big, only about ten square meters, and a simple sound-insulation array was set up in the cabin. After closing the door, it became very quiet.

"It's actually not bad; maybe it's because few people are traveling?"

Fang Xing, who had long been accustomed to crowded transportation, was actually a bit unaccustomed to this at this time.

After waiting for a while, a sense of weightlessness came from the entire cabin.

He came to the window and saw the ship body rising rapidly, everything on the ground becoming as small as dust.

"We've set off."

After watching for a while, he felt bored and went back to meditate and cultivate Qi.

As for the true self?

He was in the dormitory of Blue Star University, frantically using Boiling Blood Liquid to liver the experience of the Dragon-Elephant Art.

"This A-grade martial art, if cultivated to the Grandmaster level... the attached defense could perhaps compare to a second-rank mid-grade strange beast? Or second-rank high-grade?"

"It's impossible for it to be higher; after all, it's only A-grade..."

"Another S-grade Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power also needs hard work... Once it reaches Grandmaster level, I am very confident that I can cultivate the 'Dragon-Elephant Jin Gang Indestructible Divine Ability' in the External Landscape Realm!"

"By then, in the External Landscape, I will be truly invincible, right?"

More than ten days passed in a flash. On the flying boat.

Fang Xing scanned the map given by Han Han Qingyun: "Hmm, we've already passed the Black Wind Forest, Soul-Severing Gorge... After passing through the Spiritless Desert, we can reach the familiar land."

During this period, he usually meditated and cultivated, and occasionally that pair of Wan Shouzong Sect junior brothers would come to invite him out to communicate, and by the way, introduce a few fellow Daoists to get to know each other.

Although it seemed there was no problem, they were a bit overly enthusiastic.

This made Fang Xing feel a bit vigilant, but it was only a little bit.

"If something really goes wrong, I can only delay for three seconds... and then let the true self make a move to beat everyone to death..."

"Anyway, once I reach here, the true self won't take many days to go to the familiar land..."

Thinking of this, he began to sit steadily on the fishing platform again, cultivating silently.

And at this time.

The top floor of the flying boat.

A woman in red was lying on a huge three-tailed white fox. She wore three red jade rings on her fair wrists, her feet were bare, and her nails were painted with pink pill-dyes.

Senior Brother Brother Lian and his junior brother were kneeling on the side, not even daring to lift their heads.

"You two, jumping around during this period, plotting these things... are you preparing for the sect to wipe your asses? Hmm?"

The woman looked to be about thirty years old, exactly when a woman is most charming. She had a plum blossom mark between her eyebrows, a high chest, a slender waist, and every move seemed to carry a sense of enchantment.

The junior brother was secretly complaining in his heart: "Why did the sect suddenly change people? Wasn't Elder Jin escorting? How did it become her..."

This woman was a genius with Earth-grade spiritual roots, and had also subdued a three-tailed spiritual fox with superior bloodline. She was valued by the sect's Dan Laozu and regarded as a Jin Dan seed!

In terms of status, she was even above Brother Lian Brother Lian Fengqi!

"Senior Uncle, please listen to my explanation... We just wanted to check for the sect one more time."

Senior Brother Brother Lian was still able to speak, although his voice was trembling.

"Hehe... The mutated Treasure-Seeking Mouse bestowed by the Master can even smell the treasures in the storage bag, and it has already confirmed it. You still want to try again... So it turns out you are more capable than a mouse?"

The woman laughed and scolded, and although her words were harsh, she gave people a sense of light anger and flirting.

"Now the sect wants to subdue the Black Heaven Temple and the Profound Heaven Sect, and dominate Zheng Country... It is the time to show credibility. You don't need to do what you are thinking anymore, do you hear me?"

"Yes, yes!"

The two disciples nodded hurriedly and bowed out of the cabin.

The junior brother couldn't help but complain about Senior Brother Brother Lian; playing tricks for no reason, causing him to be implicated too...

"The familiar land has been fully developed, so a large number of mortals have been migrated to form many kingdoms, becoming the foundation of the Cultivation World... After all, spiritual root aptitude is hard to come by, and it still needs to be found among mortals..."

On this day, Fang Xing was holding an ancient book, reading silently.

This book introduced the scenery of the familiar land, and he had exchanged it for a low-grade spiritual stone at the exchange meeting.

"The place where the Profound Heaven Sect, Black Heaven Temple, and Wan Shouzong Sect are located belongs to Zheng Country... Between each other, there are many small cultivation sects and cultivation families..."

"To the east of Zheng Country is a major country named 'Qi'... The hegemon of Qi Country is the 'Heavenly Sword Sect,' rumored to have a Nascent Soul True Lord sitting in command..."

"To the north of Zheng Country, there is a bitterly cold ice plain with many nomadic tribes... To the south are many small countries, with sects standing in great numbers, attacking each other, chaotic and unbearable... Collectively known as the land of 'Five Sects and Ten Countries'."

"Further south from the Five Sects and Ten Countries, you reach the Demonic Path territory..."

"Between the many kingdoms, there are immortal cities built by loose cultivators, which are places of trade and also places that many loose cultivators yearn for..."

After reading for a long time, Fang Xing was a bit impatient.

"Why haven't those two made a move yet?"

"We're almost there... Do I have to leave the flying boat directly? What reason should I use?"

Although he could leave without saying goodbye, he would be pitting Su Ye.

Honestly, pitting Su Ye didn't matter, but this woman had always been trading honestly, and running away without anything happening seemed a bit wrong.

Instead, it made him look guilty.

He came outside, walked to the deck, and looked at the scenery.

Endless yellow sand was being constantly crossed, and the end of the vast sky seemed to never reach an end.

"This journey is quite stable; after all, it's a safe route developed by several generations of people before... avoiding many risks."

Fang Xing was enjoying the scenery when a voice suddenly rang out:

"Everyone!"

"Three hours later, the flying boat will arrive at 'Green Leaf Workshop'... After a short rest, it will fly directly to the Wan Shouzong Sect mountain gate. Those who are not from this sect can disembark at the market."

This voice was mellow, clear... but also carried a hint of enchantment.

"It's the Wan Shouzong Sect Foundation Establishment... We've finally arrived."

Several Qi Condensation cultivators on the deck were full of joy.

Fang Xing heard this, but was a bit surprised in his heart.

Green Leaf Workshop was just a small market, and from the name, one could see it had a strong Profound Heaven Sect style.

It was a market opened by a cultivation family under the jurisdiction of the Profound Heaven Sect, established around Zheng Country.

Three hours later, the flying boat swept across the vast yellow sand, passed through a village and city of mortals, and finally arrived at this market.

Clang!

The flying boat cabin door opened, and several Qi Condensation cultivators walked out.

Fang Xing mixed among them, and suddenly turned around, seeing a woman in red on the flying boat deck, watching them leave.

"What a peerless fairy..."

He sighed in his heart, and the few Qi Condensation cultivators next to him seemed to be stunned.

In the distance, a cultivator suddenly exclaimed: "So it's the 'Spirit Fox Qiong Xianzi' Shi Shi Wanwan... What virtue or ability does our Green Leaf Workshop have to make this fairy stop here?"

"Spirit Fox Qiong Xianzi?"

Fang Xing listened for a few more sentences and learned that this Shi Shi Wanwan was a genius with Earth-grade spiritual roots and a Jin Dan seed of the Wan Shouzong Sect.

"Wealthy and talented... She should look down on us poor Qi Condensation ghosts... No wonder the journey was peaceful."

He cupped his hands towards the deck, mixed into the crowd of the market, and disappeared quickly.

"Interesting youth..."

Shi Shi Wanwan didn't think much and ordered the flying boat to set sail immediately.

Fang Xing looked up at the black dot the flying boat had turned into, walked into a tea house, and prepared to drink tea while listening to some news about the Zheng Country Cultivation World.

"This guest..."

Just as he walked into the tea house, a waiter came forward with a smile all over his face.

"Give me a pot of spiritual tea!"

Fang Xing threw out a low-grade spiritual stone, which immediately made the waiter's eyes light up: "Our building's 'Snow Bud' is the best spiritual tea within a hundred miles; drinking it often has the effect of nourishing the body and brightening the eyes..."
