Chapter 641: Returning to the Flying Boat Jiazi Market, Heavenly Shang Jade Money Calculates Fortune

The hour before sunrise is the darkest moment of the sea. Looking as far as the eye can see, the sky and the sea area merge into one, all of which are extremely dark.

It is as if one is trapped in darkness, only the dark surging seawater beneath one's feet hits the giant boat, making a splashing sound.

Amidst the oppressive silence and darkness, the sea breeze blows gently, and the sound of waves echoes in one's ears. The nearby seawater reflects the bright lights on the boat, breaking into a pool of golden scales, setting off the deep seawater, which has a sense of void that swallows everything!

At this time, a morning star appears in the sky, reflecting Brother Qian Chen, who is dressed as a white-robed Confucian scholar, on the bow of the boat, holding a book and shaking his head, savoring it carefully.

After decades, Brother Qian Chen is going to the Flying Boat Sea Market again, but he is taking a large merchant ship from overseas.

Although this large ship is called a flying boat, it actually does not activate the array to drive the giant boat to fly most of the time!

This giant boat is fifty feet long, similar to the giant cruise ship "Princess" series in Brother Qian Chen's previous life. Driving such a giant boat to fly, the pills and talismans burned every moment are a huge number. How can it be as convenient as floating on the sea and sailing with the help of the wind-traveling array!

This giant boat is half cargo and half passenger, because most Penetrating Law cultivators cannot drive flying magic artifacts for a long time.

The flying magic artifacts commonly used by Penetrating Law cultivators are mostly flying boats and flying swords. Like the Flying Cloud Pocket used by Brother Qian Chen when he was Penetrating Law, which is good at long-distance driving and consumes very little magic power while floating in the sky, that is something only immortal second generations can afford.

The sea is boundless, and there are many water monsters and sea demons, so it is extremely dangerous to travel alone. Therefore, many cultivators take such flying boats to travel, and there is no lack of Core Formation cultivators mixed in.

However, once they reach the Yuan Infant realm, they can be called great overseas cultivators, and they have flying cars and flying boats for travel, and they are not afraid of the risks of the sea area, so they sit on flying boats even less.

"Is this little brother practicing the Dao of Heavenly Secrets?"

An old man in green robes, accompanied by three or four junior cultivators, came to spit out the Yang and Purple Qi at sunrise, but saw Brother Qian Chen already working at the bow of the boat. The old man looked up and saw dots of thoughts emerging from Brother Qian Chen's head, transforming into various hexagrams, constantly combining and merging into Brother Qian Chen's brow, and couldn't help but greet him.

Brother Qian Chen put away the I Ching in his hand, bowed and smiled: "It's just a hobby, how can it be called practice. How should I address this old gentleman? Are you a cultivator?"

The old man in green robes was not a Core Formation cultivator, but he was also Penetrating Law.

Brother Qian Chen used the Qi-watching technique and saw a pool of clear spring three feet high flying above his head, with an illusory bright pearl held in the spring, true qi overflowing, flying springs scattering, which was the great success of Penetrating Law, only one line of opportunity away from Core Formation.

In the overseas, it could be considered a small expert!

The old man was modest and smiled: "The old man is a son-in-law of a loose cultivator on Liuxia Island, surnamed Liang, with the given name Yu."

"Is this little brother from the Central Lands!"

Brother Qian Chen said solemnly: "The junior is indeed from the Central Lands. Because I wanted to see the overseas customs, I traveled far when I was young. Now I am also preparing to take the Flying Boat Market and return to my hometown!"

"Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is rare!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "I am also from the Central Lands, born in an aristocratic family. In my early years, my temperament was stubborn, and I offended a high-level person, so I had to go overseas to avoid disaster. As a result, I entered Liuxia Island by chance. Now I am ashamed to see old friends..."

"Little brother is being modest. I see that you have spiritual light when reading, which means you have read into the aperture! You can have your soul leave your body."

"What's more rare is that Daoist scriptures like the "I Ching", which come from the hands of the Supreme Dao Zangshan Laozu, are the King of Classics through the ages. Among our cultivators, not many can read them out of fame. Little brother only relies on comprehending this scripture to touch a little bit of the Heavenly Secret Dao and the Six Ren Qi Gate, which is extraordinary! Although there is no Qi Refining cultivation, just this Dao conduct is enough to establish the foundation. Once you comprehend the Six Ren Dao in the future, you can refine the spirit and cultivate the method, and enter Penetrating Law directly."

"Overseas does not know this Dao. If it were in the Central Lands, it would definitely be a true transmission that every immortal sect would fight to accept. How should I address you, little brother?"

Brother Qian Chen said modestly: "The junior's surname is Li, given name Er, courtesy name Master Chunyang."

The cultivators beside the old man were probably his juniors. The older man and woman were already Penetrating Law cultivators. They swept Brother Qian Chen with a faint glance and found that he did not have the slightest cultivation qi, and was just a mortal, so they ignored him.

After hearing their elder praise him so much and point out that Brother Qian Chen was a person who cultivated Dao conduct, they turned their eyes to look at him squarely.

The younger ones, some were still in Qi Refining, and some had just established the foundation. They all practiced the old methods of the Central Lands, which showed that the old man's words about missing his hometown were not false.

"A person with Dao conduct like Little Brother Li is rare!"

Liang Yu sighed: "The heavenly treasures and cultivation resources overseas are indeed much more abundant than in the Central Lands, and the path of cultivation is widely spread, but the style is very bad. Even small cultivators who have just entered the Dao don't think about solidifying their foundation, but only know how to cultivate powerful magical powers, swallow pills, and compete for magic artifacts! Fighting among the juniors is only for the sake of being powerful."

"They don't even want to honestly establish their Dao foundation, and they have to mix in martial cultivation, advancing the Qi Refining work, in order to cultivate magical powers first, and then Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment!"

"Where is the comparison of Dao conduct and Dao foundation in the Central Lands, which is so high and distant in the Great Dao of Longevity?"

Liang Yu was also a little angry when he said this, and glared fiercely at the juniors behind him, shaking his head: "Like Little Brother, reading hard for decades, although not cultivating a trace of true qi, you have polished your thoughts and divine sense to be pure, not cultivating magical powers, not refining magic artifacts, willing to endure this twenty years of loneliness, and grinding your Dao conduct foundation solid."

"Once you enter the Dao in the future and your soul wanders at night, you will be able to penetrate the Law! Your future will be countless times better than these unruly children of mine..."

"Old Brother praises me too much!"

Brother Qian Chen was also a bit embarrassed. When he first started, he was also single-mindedly cultivating divine abilities and seeking magic spells. And those Supreme Louguan Dao disciples who truly cultivated their Dao practice had even been looked down upon by him.

The young man in his twenties who was taught a lesson like a grandson by him still knew how to pretend in front of the old man, looking like he was listening carefully. The younger boy looked at Brother Qian Chen with resentment and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't learn magical powers, you might be beaten to death before that time!"

Liang Yu glared at him and said coldly: "Humph! With me protecting you, and everyone on Liuxia Island being relatives, who would beat you to death? Foundation Establishment is not yet achieved, and you take pills to practice, only getting a fourth-grade Dao foundation! Just because you want to compete with the clan's disciples, you wasted eight years of Foundation Establishment. What future do you have?"

The boy was puffed up, obviously a little unconvinced, and muttered in a low voice—the brothers in the clan are all like this!

The old ancestor in the family didn't practice the old methods of the Central Lands in the past, didn't he also become a Core Formation ancestor?

Actually, the boy's first sentence was not wrong—the Dao conduct cultivators of Supreme Louguan Dao did not live to that time, and were wiped out by Master Miaokong!

Now Brother Qian Chen is not unable to mix, so he started from scratch and switched to practicing the "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws".

Intending to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, condense the Wisdom Mani Bead, and cultivate Dao conduct?

The youngest girl, with a Zhu Yan flower stuck on her temple, which is the main medicine for the Ding Yan Pill, can bring such a flower worth thousands of gold on her temple, which shows that she is also spoiled by her parents.

She looked at Brother Qian Chen, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar, and thought about how her old-fashioned Uncle Yu would lecture them again, her dark eyes rolled around, and she suddenly smiled: "Uncle Yu, overseas cultivators who try every means to get the Three Mountains Talismans, swallow pills, refine magic artifacts, and painstakingly cultivate magical powers are everywhere, and those who become Transformation God ancestors are all these people."

"On the contrary, I haven't seen many who cultivate Dao conduct. It can be seen that these people mostly can't get in front of you. Occasionally one appears alive, which is rare!"

"Xun'er, don't be rude!" Liang Yu hurriedly reprimanded.

Turning to Brother Qian Chen, he apologized: "Little Brother Li, don't be surprised, these juniors of mine have been spoiled by me!"

Brother Qian Chen secretly said: "I also think it's rare. I have been Penetrating Law to slash Jin Dan, Jin Dan to slash Transformation God all the way! If I only relied on Dao conduct, I would have long since defected to other Supreme Daoist traditions, become my own ancestor, and waited for ascension!"

He also said calmly: "I also think it's rare. I read books only to clarify wisdom. Whether I can have a result, I don't care much, and I haven't pursued any Dao conduct!"

"Walking all the way, although there have been several dangers, but holding the principles in my heart, I can naturally turn bad luck into good luck. There are countless mortals like me in the world. I just read books into the spirit, which is not rare."

Liang Yu heard this and felt it was very pleasant, praising: "Little Brother Li is indeed profound in Dao conduct, reading and clarifying principles, not for magical powers, holding the Great Dao in his heart like this, naturally there will be a day of Penetrating Law!"

Hua Dai pouted and said: "Too strong! This taste is too strong!"

"Seeing Hua Daier!" Liang Yu gave a warning.

Hua Dai said angrily: "Since you want to polish your temperament and refine your Dao conduct, why are we going to the Flying Boat Market and the Jiazi Conference? Everyone find an old scholar and read hard, isn't that enough?"

"So Liang Daoist is also going to the Flying Boat Sea Market to participate in the Jiazi Great Market!"

Brother Qian Chen didn't care about Hua Seeing Hua Daier's little complaints at all, and only asked: "I heard that every Jiazi Great Market of the Flying Boat Market is the largest trading event in the Central Lands and overseas. Before, it was said that rare treasures were everywhere, and even magic treasures, spirit treasures, and Heavenly Mansion True Talismans appeared. It is an overseas cultivation event. What treasures are there in this Jiazi Great Market? Attracting Liang Daoist to come from afar?"

Liang Yu hadn't spoken yet, but Hua Dai grabbed the answer: "There are many merchant associations in the Flying Boat Market! I don't know how many treasure meetings will be held. The one

"I'm afraid you haven't even heard of the name of this precious pill!"

Hua Dai raised her little head and said, "Rumor has it that once this pill is swallowed, one can refine a cluster of Qianli Seven-Flavor Fire. It is a supreme treasure of the pill path. I don't know how precious it is; even the Soul Transformation ancestors would be tempted. If it weren't for the ancestors of the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect going to the Chaotic Star Sea to explore, where two Soul Transformation masters fell, and even their own town-gate supreme treasure, the Earth-Covering Spirit True Leaf, was lost! Otherwise, they would never have brought such a treasure out for auction!"

Brother Qian Chen subconsciously squeezed the Earth-Covering Spirit True Leaf in his sleeve—after Master Shouyang fell, this magic treasure fell into the Nine Springs, and Brother Qian Chen had taken it away by the way!

"Even you know this news! It seems the situation of the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect is not good!"

Brother Qian Chen muttered subconsciously. He had helped Seeing Lan Jiu once and mentioned it in front of Master Shouyang, but with the fall of Master Shouyang, the promised matter seemed not to have been accomplished, and this spirit pill ultimately did not fall into his hands!

But this made Hua Dai jump with anger: "What do you mean 'even I know'... am I not worthy of knowing? You don't have any cultivation, but your tone is quite big!"

"Oh!" Brother Qian Chen smiled slightly, unconcerned: "In that case, you are going to buy this spirit pill!"

Hua Dai sighed helplessly, obviously feeling that it was tiring and meaningless to argue with someone like Brother Qian Chen who knew nothing about the cultivation world, and said with waning interest: "How could we afford to buy it? I already said this is a supreme treasure of the pill path. Although our Liuxia Island makes a living by planting spirit herbs and is one of the several major suppliers of Baicao Mountain, the pill masters supported by our family can only refine Qi Condensation Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, and Three Treasure Spirit-Nurturing Pills. But they can't even be called pill masters, so how dare we compete for this?"

"Things like this are reserved for pill masters like Dan Dan Fuzi. Ordinary cultivators don't have enough status, and if they rashly go to snatch it, they will definitely offend those masters."

"Who can afford to offend so many pill masters? Therefore, many large sects will not participate!"

"With my status, since I said this pill belongs to Seeing Lan Jiu, there is a trace of destiny belonging to him. Moreover, I see that Seeing Lan Jiu is not someone with weak destiny, so how could there be such twists and turns?"

Brother Qian Chen was a little curious. He took out six copper coins and cast them casually.

Hua Dai was very curious, looking at those six simple jade coins. She only felt that the jade coins were very crude, just roughly ground into a round shape with a square hole, and two oracle bone characters were carved on them with a sharp tool.

The jade coins were heavily stained with soil, gray and inconspicuous, and there were even blood stains on them.

But those mottled traces like blood rust gave her a heart-pounding feeling for a moment.

"What kind of jade coins are these? They aren't Central Plains coins, right! How come I've never seen them, and I don't even recognize the characters on them!"

"Oh! These are ancient coins of the Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty. Besides the cowrie shells of the Heavenly Xia, they are the oldest human currency!"

"The two characters carved on them are—Di! Shang! It means the coins witnessed and blessed by the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty, which no one can deceive. The saying of later merchants comes from this!" Brother Qian Chen answered casually.

Hua Dai stood up and made a face: "Bragging!"

These six jade coins were indeed relics of the Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty. They were some sacrificial jade coins scattered on a blood sacrifice altar of the Heavenly Merchant Divine Dynasty, among some ominous things given to Brother Qian Chen by the Western Kunlun Mirror!

Most of them were stained with blood, and the ominous aura was very dense. If they were used for divination, I'm afraid every time would be a great disaster, and they wouldn't be calculated wrong!

So Brother Qian Chen could only pick a few that were not stained with ominous blood. Even so, using them for divination, whatever he calculated would be stained with a trace of the gloomy aura entwined upon them, and destiny would have a subtle deviation, adding a trace of subtle tribulation.

However, Brother Qian Chen didn't care about this bit of ominousness; it wasn't his trouble anyway!

"Auspiciousness within disaster!"

Brother Qian Chen touched his chin. It seems he really isn't the protagonist.

Generally speaking, wherever the protagonist goes, there will be tribulations and disasters, like a star of disaster. Currently, Seeing Lan Jiu has this trend. He grew up in the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect, and Luo Zhen has suffered several tribulations. Three Soul Transformation masters died, two of them? Now, half of the town-mountain formation has been lost, and tribulation is about to befall him again!

The Qianli Seven-Treasure Flame Light Pill here is also involved with his destiny, and immediately there were twists and turns, leading him to the Jiazi Grand Market of the Flying Boat Market, where there is another opportunity.

This entanglement of opportunity and tribulation—everyone's tribulation, his own opportunity—is clearly the destiny of a protagonist!

As for Brother Qian Chen himself, he can't be considered a protagonist's destiny!

Although he also goes wherever tribulations go, and they spread even more fiercely! But the protagonist is usually just the trigger for the tribulation, or is involved in it, unable to help himself. But Brother Qian Chen has always actively triggered tribulations himself. Even if it were originally calm, he could stir up a tsunami.

His dungeon was created by himself!

The trouble was also created by himself!

Even the villain was played by himself...

Speaking of which, this Jiazi Sea Market seems to be manipulated by him behind the scenes again, leading to tribulation. Just now, he hadn't made a move, but now that he has calculated it and cleared up the context of the heavenly secrets, the ominous aura on these six jade coins began to sort out karma and create tribulation!

The karma stained before will all converge towards the Jiazi Grand Market.

And as a Primordial Spirit Treasure, his main body stands outside of karma. This time, the main body is silent, the incarnation is destroyed, and only a point of spiritual light, the method of a butterfly dream, 'dreamed of' this body. Karma is difficult to entangle, and it is others who are unlucky!

"What are you calculating?" Hua Dai leaned over again.

"Calculating the auspiciousness and disaster of this Jiazi Sea Market!" Brother Qian Chen didn't mean to lie to her, but the little girl treated him as a liar: "Can you calculate this?"

"A disaster of blood!"

Brother Qian Chen could only say so...
