Chapter 299: Empty-handed, Boarding the Ship
Red Stone City!
A huge vehicle stopped on the wide street at the North Gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Two people walked off the vehicle.
One was tall and burly, with black hair but snow-white temples.
The other was a woman in red.
This white-templed cultivator was naturally Daoist Long Yuan of the Qi Kingdom royal family.
"Master, it should be here..."
The woman in red pointed to the shop sign on the side of the road, which read five characters: Taixu Elixir Shop.
"Hehehe... Taixu Elixir Shop, naturally it is here!"
Daoist Long Yuan nodded and said: "Let's go... let's go in and take a look!"
The Qi Kingdom royal family was hunting for people of great fortune, but now, neither of the two suspected people of great fortune had been caught.
One was Wang Dun, the other was He Ping.
Wang Dun showed nine dragons, a matter that had formed a conclusion in the royal family; as for He Ping, after God General Mountain, the royal family launched a series of investigations and finally confirmed that He Ping was the one who took away the spear intent crystal and the Heaven-Defying God Spear from God General Mountain.
So Wang Dun is a person of great fortune, without a doubt.
Is He Ping one? Don't know. But whether he is or not, you took away our royal family's god spear, a matter that cannot be left unpursued.
"Guests, please come in..."
Cheng Cheng Dao Cai was in charge of guarding the elixir shop.
Cheng Cheng Dao Cai respectfully welcomed the two into the elixir shop with a full face of smiles: "Two distinguished guests, what would you like?"
Long Yuan's gaze swept through the elixir shop, smiled indifferently, and said: "The elixirs here are refined quite well!"
"Shopkeeper, is your shop owner named He Ping?"
"He Ping?" Cheng Cheng Dao Cai heard this name for the first time; he shook his head and said: "No, I don't know who you are talking about?"
The white-templed cultivator smiled and said: "Let me change the question, is your shop owner named Xu Kunlun?"
"Yes!" This time Cheng Cheng Dao Cai nodded: "Our young master is Xu Kunlun. I don't know what instructions you have, Senior?"
Cheng Cheng Dao Cai couldn't see the cultivation of the person in front of him, so he respectfully called him Senior.
He felt that whether he was a Senior or not, calling him Senior would definitely not be wrong.
"Hmm..." The white-templed cultivator nodded and said: "That's good... trouble you to report, just say his old friend has come and ask him to come out and see me!"
At the same time, the white-templed cultivator's spiritual sense expanded, scanning the surroundings.
He saw the small courtyard in the back but did not extend his spiritual sense deep into the house in the small courtyard.
Cheng Cheng Dao Cai said: "Yo... that's really unfortunate, our young master went out a few days ago and happens to be away!"
"If you had come a few days earlier, you would have been able to see him!"
"Went out?" The white-templed cultivator's brows furrowed slightly.
"Clang..." Just at this moment, the woman in red suddenly waved her hand and summoned a green flying sword. The flying sword expanded to three feet in length, and the tip of the sword pressed against Old Man Cheng's throat.
Old Cheng was so scared that he trembled all over: "What are you doing... what are you doing?"
"This old man has never done anything harmful in his life; what are you doing?"
Cheng Cheng Dao Cai was facing this kind of fighting scene for the first time, and his heart was inexplicably nervous.
The woman in red said: "Call your young master out, otherwise, this sword of mine will cut your head off!"
"I can't!" Old Cheng was about to cry: "Our young master is really not at home!"
"Alright!" The white-templed cultivator scanned the area with his spiritual sense, then withdrew it and said: "Honglian, stop, don't scare him!"
"He should really be away!"
"Hmph..." Honglian snorted coldly and put the sword away.
"Shopkeeper!" The white-templed cultivator looked at Cheng Cheng Dao Cai and asked: "The Five Dragon Ditch Mystic Realm is about to open, right? Your young master is now at the eleventh layer of Foundation Establishment cultivation. By logic, he should participate in this Five Dragon Ditch Mystic Realm, right?"
Although Long Yuan is from the Qi Kingdom, he knows the intelligence over here like the back of his hand.
Cheng Cheng Dao Cai shook his head: "This... this old man doesn't know either!"
He really didn't know.
How He Ping was targeted by Jingxin, and how he went to Tiannan City after being targeted, etc., he knew nothing about these messages.
"Forget it!"
The white-templed cultivator saw he couldn't ask anything, so he left slowly.
Honglian followed him out of the elixir shop.
"Master... why not capture this shopkeeper and interrogate him!" Honglian said: "Wouldn't that be better?"
"No!" The white-templed cultivator said: "After all, this is not the Qi Kingdom, and even if we interrogate him, we might not be able to ask anything!"
"This shopkeeper looks like someone who doesn't know the world, timid as a mouse; he might not be He Ping's confidant, and he doesn't know much!"
"But it doesn't matter!"
"He Ping is now at the eleventh layer of Foundation Establishment cultivation and should have hit a bottleneck. With his personality, he has no choice at all!"
"So, he will definitely go to participate in the Five Dragon Ditch Mystic Realm in Xishu Commandery!"
"We don't need to go to great lengths to find him; just go to the entrance of the Five Dragon Ditch Mystic Realm in Xishu Commandery and wait!"
"Once he arrives, he naturally won't be able to run!"
On the other side, Tiannan City!
Half a month after He Ping obtained the qualification token, the large ship to Xishu Commandery was also ready to set off.
He took the token and came to the Immortal Ship Plaza in Tiannan City.
On the plaza, there was a giant immortal ship.
This ship was red all over, about two hundred zhang long and eighty zhang wide.
On it was a giant building, with rooms like a honeycomb, dense and numerous.
There were thousands of rooms.
This was the ship going to Xishu Commandery, specifically transporting the cultivators of Tiannan City.
Each token could allow two people to board the ship.
Of course, this was just boarding the ship.
When they arrived in Xishu Commandery later, only those with tokens could enter the mystic realm.
Without a token, they could only wait outside.
"Ten thousand spirit stones, thank you..." There were special personnel collecting fees under the large ship: "These ten thousand spirit stones are for the round trip; five thousand for going, five thousand for coming back!"
"After the mystic realm ends, don't forget to wait at the original place!"
The one collecting the fee was a female cultivator, sweet-looking, and spoke nicely.
He Ping fumbled out a mid-tier spirit stone, handed it over, took the payment plaque, and boarded the large ship.
The plaque had the room number on it, so he walked into the room according to the room number.
The room was not big, but it was about a zhang in circumference.
Empty.
He Ping was too lazy to set up an array here, so he took out a meditation cushion, spread it on the ground, and sat cross-legged, waiting for the ship to start.
About half a day later, the large ship rose with a rumble and headed west all the way.
Xishu Commandery was quite far from Nanlong Commandery, separated by six or seven great commanderies.
So this voyage was also longer, taking a full four days to reach the destination.
Four days later, the large ship slowed down, fell slowly, and finally landed on a giant plaza. ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
