Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Time passed, and another two months passed.

Lanzhou, the estuary, Lanbei Port is located in a bay full of spiritual energy.

The waves hit the rocks on the shore, splashing countless crystal water, and there was a faint glow in the water.

Around the port, huge immortal ships and spirit boats were parked in an orderly manner. These immortal ships had strange shapes, and their hulls were made of precious spirit wood, inlaid with various gems and spells that shone with mysterious light.

The bow of the ship is carved with majestic alien beasts, as if ready to take off at any time.

On the dock, immortal cultivators came and went. Some wore gorgeous robes, held magical instruments, and looked majestic; others wore simple Taoist robes, had deep eyes, and exuded an otherworldly temperament. They were either waiting to set off or had just returned, exchanging their experiences and insights on the journey of cultivating immortals.

From time to time, immortals flying on swords passed by in the sky above the port, leaving behind a series of brilliant lights and shadows. The strong men in charge of carrying the goods were extremely powerful and easily carried the heavy spiritual ore and magic weapons.

The prosperous scene with people coming and going will inevitably give birth to a trade market. Therefore, in the corners of the port, many monks have set up stalls and shouted their wares. The stalls are filled with strange and bizarre spiritual objects, and the stall owners use unique methods to demonstrate the magical effects of the items.

"Brother, how much do you want to sell this nautical chart?"

Not long after, a young man stopped in front of the stall of a middle-aged monk, grabbed a scroll on the stall, and asked in a deep voice.

This young man has sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. His eyes are twinkling as if stars are brewing in them. Although his appearance is not extremely handsome, he looks fair and clean, revealing a spirit of energy. His facial features are clearly defined. He has a head of black hair tied in a white jade crown, and a blue-white robe fluttering in the wind. He is indeed a graceful young man.

It was Yu Changsheng who had been dressed up again, but this time his appearance had changed to that of Li Minghan.

Although the place now is no longer Wuzhou, but with his fame and value, even if he reveals his true face, there must be many people who know him. Fearing trouble, he changed his appearance to that of Li Minghan after entering Lanzhou to be on the safe side.

We left the Yunbo Desert and stepped into Lanzhou. We carefully lurked all the way and finally arrived at the Lanzhou estuary safely.

"Navigation chart?"

The stall owner was stunned. Hearing this, he looked up at Yu Changsheng and immediately smiled and said:
"My friend, you are going on a long journey. The price of this nautical chart varies according to the size. You have found the right person. I am indeed experienced in navigation. I have been to many seas and have the largest collection of nautical charts."

"Well, is that so? What's the point? How is the price calculated?"

Yu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked softly.

"Of course," the middle-aged stall owner nodded, stroking his beard and smiling, "If you only need a nautical chart within a hundred miles, then you don't have to pay. Just think of it as a gift from me. It's not worth much to make a good friend."

The middle-aged stall owner laughed, paused, and continued, "If it is a nautical chart with a range of a thousand miles, then I won't charge more, a hundred spirit stones will be enough. If it is a larger nautical chart with a range of ten thousand miles, the price will be ten thousand spirit stones, no cheating."

"I just don't know where you are going, brother, and how big a nautical chart you need."

The middle-aged stall owner asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Yu Changsheng pondered, thought for a moment and said, "I need a nautical chart that can lead directly to the North Sea. See if you think you can find something suitable."

"Directly to the North Sea?" As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged stall owner was stunned. He blinked and looked at Yu Changsheng deeply, and said in surprise:

"You're going to such a far place, are you kidding me?"

"Yeah." Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, his face calm.

"Is that so..." The middle-aged stall owner was surprised, thought for a moment, and said:

“The North Sea is a long way from here. The seas along the way are complex and the dangers are hard to estimate. If you are sure you can go, I won’t cheat you.

I have a North Sea nautical chart that I got from the Wanbao Pavilion in the early years. It not only clearly marks the sea conditions along the way, but also clearly explains some dangers and the customs and people of the North Sea. How about selling it to you for a price of 100,000 spirit stones?"

After the middle-aged stall owner finished speaking, he patted his storage bag, took out a jade tube, and handed it to Yu Changsheng with a sincere tone and a serious expression.

"Hmm..." Yu Changsheng pondered for a while, nodded after a while, took the jade tube, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the middle-aged stall owner, and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, one hundred thousand spirit stones, but this thing has to be reliable. If it's fake..."

Yu Changsheng paused, and without making a sound, he quietly released a trace of the aura of the Purple Mansion, which landed on the middle-aged stall owner.

The middle-aged stall owner's body suddenly froze, his heart skipped a beat, a drop of sweat unconsciously flowed down his forehead, his face was frozen, and he said with fear in his eyes, but he swore:

"I definitely wouldn't dare tease you, Senior. I swear on my life that everything on this map is real, and the price is fair, with no secrets. Otherwise, I will surely be punished by the heavens, and my soul will be torn apart and I will die a miserable death."

The middle-aged stall owner said this in a cold sweat.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng waved his sleeves, took out a spirit note worth 100,000 spirit stones, took the jade tube, put it against his forehead to sense it, looked deeply at the middle-aged stall owner, and turned and left.

He had already checked the contents of the jade tube, and it was indeed a large-scale nautical chart directly to the North Sea. Some of the annotations also looked authentic, so there should be no problem.

After a long time, looking at Yu Changsheng's departing back, the middle-aged stall owner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a long breath, patted his chest, and his fluctuating emotions finally calmed down.

"It's incredible and unbelievable that such a young boy has already reached the Purple Mansion realm. Which family's once-in-a-generation genius is this?"

The middle-aged stall owner murmured, a hint of relief unconsciously revealed on his face. Looking at Yu Changsheng walking away, there was awe in his eyes that he could hardly conceal.

Although he was a casual cultivator, he had reached the Golden Core stage through some opportunities in his early years. At that time, a trace of Yu Changsheng's aura pressed on him, which immediately made his mind roar and his sea of ​​consciousness tremble with terrible waves, as if the person in front of him was not a young man, but an unfathomable monster.

Therefore, his title also became senior. After all, in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected.

The only explanation for him to have such a reaction, even though he was already in the Golden Core Realm, was that Yu Changsheng's cultivation was much higher than his, at least in the Purple Mansion Realm. To kill such a being, it would be no less difficult than to kill an ant, so what he said in his fear was true, and he naturally did not dare to act rashly.

"Tsk..." Thinking of this, the middle-aged stall owner took a breath of cold air, and was even more shocked. "It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. Such a young boy actually has the cultivation of Purple Mansion... However, speaking of it, such a person should not be unknown in Lanzhou, and he went to the North Sea Region at great pains... Who would go there normally..."

The middle-aged stall owner muttered to himself, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly widened, and a guess emerged in his mind.

"No, such a young Purple Mansion cultivator... could it be him? If he left the Southern Region in such a hurry and headed for the Northern Sea, then it would make sense..."

The middle-aged stall owner was silent for a long time, with thoughts circling in his mind, and a hint of heat appeared in his eyes. Then he thought of Yu Changsheng's last look, and the heat in his eyes went out, leaving only relief.

"Forget it. The chance of transformation into a spirit is not something that a cultivator like me who is not even at the Purple Palace can dream of. Even if he is really Yu Changsheng, then when the time comes, I am afraid that I will have the life to take the opportunity but not the life to use it. Both sides are huge monsters. It is best for me to keep to myself and not think about anything."

The middle-aged stall owner remained silent, and finally shook his head, choosing to forget the matter.

On the other hand, Yu Changsheng, who got the nautical chart, continued to purchase a lot of supplies.

In fact, beside such a large port, due to the close flow of people, commercial trade is naturally developed. In addition to these individual stalls, some chambers of commerce from continental civilizations also stop by, such as the Wanbao Pavilion and Wanshou Tower mentioned by the middle-aged monk just now...

However, considering the sensitivity of his identity and the fact that not many people need to go to the North Sea, in order to prevent suspicion from such a powerful force, Yu Changsheng chose to buy the nautical chart from such an individual business owner.

At this critical juncture, it is always a good idea to be cautious.

"The sea is vast, and there are countless risks due to the ever-changing weather. It is even easier to get lost. With this nautical chart, I can save myself a lot of trouble."

Yu Changsheng thought that after collecting many other supplies, he returned to the dock.

There, at a temporary berth at the dock, a spirit boat had been parked. The spirit boat was not big, ten meters long and about five meters wide. It was shaped like a roc, spreading its wings as if ready to fly, shining with spiritual light. Mysterious patterns were carved on the boat's walls, which combined with each other to form a magic circle.

Inside the spirit boat, many strange gems with different functions are inlaid in it. The light is restrained and the spiritual energy lingers, turning into a light mist that covers the hull. On both sides of the hull are movable splints, and inside are unique turrets, which serve as the weapon system.

The sea was rippling and crashing, but the spirit boat could not be moved in the slightest. Instead, it was as solid as a rock and remained unmoved.

Although the size of the spirit boat could not be compared with the huge ships of hundreds or thousands of feet docked in the deeper harbor, it was small and exquisite, but the faint aura it exuded would occasionally attract the attention of other ships nearby.

"It's a fourth-level magic array. I don't know whose treasure this spirit boat belongs to. It must be very valuable."

"The boat body seems to be made of the bones of a fourth-level spirit beast. It's really luxurious. With this spirit boat, even some low-level sea beasts won't dare to approach it when sailing on the sea. It can save a lot of trouble."

Some cultivators stopped to watch, looking at the spirit boat and sighing in a low voice.

For people like them who often go out to sea, a good spirit boat can play a big role.

And this spiritual boat naturally does not belong to Yu Changsheng, but to Old Wei.

There is only one ship that travels to the North Sea each year, and it has been two months since the last ship left for the North Sea.

Yu Changsheng naturally couldn't wait for the next giant ship, so E rented a port berth, paid some fees, and planned to go there by himself, so he needed to buy a nautical chart.

Now, Yu Changsheng had purchased the nautical charts and other necessary things. He jumped lightly and stepped into the spirit boat under the envious gazes of others. The protective shield of the spirit boat was temporarily opened, and after Yu Changsheng was put in, it was immediately closed again.

So that the interior scene of the spirit boat cannot be seen from the outside.

"Are you back? Did you get the nautical chart?"

On the deck of the spirit boat, Old Wei was lying on the armchair with a leisurely look on his face, with his legs lightly crossed. Noticing the movement, he glanced at Yu Changsheng without turning his head and spoke.

The black tortoise was held in his arms, sleeping soundly with its head tucked into its shell.

"Well, now that we have the nautical chart, there should be no problem."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly and chuckled.

"Okay, let's go without further ado. You go to Zhantuo and I'll continue to sleep for a while."

Old Wei stretched himself, yawned, and then continued to squint his eyes, rocking leisurely on the armchair, looking like a boss who didn't care about anything.

Yu Changsheng: “…”

Yu Changsheng shook his head, a smile appeared on his face, he returned to the cockpit, and after skillfully activating a series of magic arrays, the entire spirit boat swayed slightly and slowly sailed out of the port.

The speed was slow at first, but after leaving the port, it started to accelerate. Various formations covered the spirit boat to serve as a protection. Waves of the sea surged up and hit the hull. The spirit boat rode the wind and waves, speeding steadily at high speed.

Looking down from the sky, the huge port surrounds the coastline. Spirit boats are sailing out of the port like swords. Thousands of sails are leaving the port, undulating on the blue sea like a spider web.

The spirit boat sped along the waves on the rough sea, and flew rapidly towards the depths of the sea. After a while, the originally thick clouds quietly dispersed, revealing the long-lost sun.

The sun shines on the azure sea, the light is not strong, but rather soft in its brilliance, gently smoothing the water. Between the sea and the sky, the spirit boat of Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao sways gently, letting the waves push it forward.

The sea breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of rich spiritual energy, which was even richer than that on land, making people feel relaxed physically and mentally. On the plywood, Mr. Wei lay in a chair basking in the sunlight, with the sea breeze blowing his hair, making him feel comfortable and relaxed.

"The sun is shining, the breeze is not dry, and the journey is to the sea of ​​stars. I have been in this world for so long, and it is indeed time to go out and take a good look."

Not long after, Yu Changsheng walked out of the cab. The sea breeze blew his bangs on his forehead, and his face changed, revealing his true appearance. His eyes were deep, looking across the sea to the continent behind him, and he said softly:

"Wuzhou, one day, I, Yu Changsheng, will come back..." (End of this chapter)
