Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 157 Old Ape: I Want to See the Sea
The next day, Fang Xu got up early, rushed to the Law Enforcement Hall to say goodbye to Chu Rendi, and then came to the villa at the foot of the mountain and left Huayang Mountain with the old ape.

The old ape is now weak, and in order to prevent him from suffering, Fang Xu prepared a carriage for him to stay in.

He himself drove the car.

"Uncle Yuan, where do you want to go?" Fang Xu asked.

The old ape thought for a moment and said, "I have lived in the forest since I was young, and later I went to the desert with you. This time I want to see the sea."

"Okay, let's go see the sea!" Fang Xu smiled and suddenly pulled the horse's back. The two horses pulled the carriage quickly towards the east.

The two stayed in Zhongzhou City for two days, ate some Zhongzhou's unique delicacies and drank some fine wine before leaving Zhongzhou City.

On the way, Lao Yuan was still upset because Fang Xu didn't drink with him.

The second stop after leaving Zhongzhou was another city, Wucheng.

As the gateway to the east of Zhongzhou, Wucheng is not much smaller than the Zhongzhou Imperial City, and the entire Wucheng industry is controlled by three major families.

These three families all have some connection with Fang Xu.

Because the patriarchs of the three major families are now on Fang Xu’s friend list.

Perhaps it was because people from the three major families had once hunted down Fang Xu, and many warriors had seen Fang Xu's portrait. At this time, Fang Xu was traveling far away with the old ape and did not use any secret method to change his appearance.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, he was recognized by some warriors from the three major families.

When these warriors saw Fang Xu suddenly coming to Wucheng, they were afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so they reported the information to their families.

Wucheng Wang Family.

After receiving the news, Wang Xiao, the head of the Wang family, his expression changed slightly.

"What is that kid doing in Wucheng?"

"Are you ready to attack us?"

Feeling a little worried, Wang Xiao immediately asked someone to call over Feng Dong, the head of the Feng family, and Chu Yangping, the head of the Chu family.

"Brother Chu, Brother Feng, Fang Xu has come to Wucheng!"

As soon as the three met, Wang Xiao spoke immediately.

"We heard about it."

"Brother Wang, why do you think that kid came to Wucheng?"

Feng Dong spoke.

Wang Xiao didn't say anything, but looked at Chu Yangping and said, "Brother Chu, what do you think?"

Chu Yangping pondered for a moment and said, "I received news that the boy came here with the old ape."

"What!?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiao was shocked.

They had all heard of the old ape beside Fang Xu.

It is said that at that time the old ape fought alone against two people, and was evenly matched with Lu family patriarch Lu Shengren and Tuoba Xiong of Jizhou!
If he brought the old ape with him at this time, it is very likely that he came to settle accounts with them!
"Our stuff has just been delivered to the Ascension Society for a few days, and he is already openly tearing his face off?" Wang Xiao said anxiously.

The three of them are all at the fifth level of Martial Honor, and if they really fight, the old ape will not be able to withstand a single blow from the three of them.

Wang Xiao was scared.

"Brother Wang! Wait for me to finish what I am saying!" Chu Yangping said, "According to reliable information, the old ape's vitality is declining. He also fought hard with Master Lu and Tuoba Xiong that day, so he should be exhausted."

"Besides, I heard from the warriors of the family that they took a carriage on this trip."

Feng Dong was slightly stunned, then he said with a chuckle: "Brother Chu, you mean that the old ape is no longer good enough to ride a horse?"

Chu Yangping nodded and said, "I think the three of us are too nervous."

"That kid came to Wucheng this time, probably to bring that old ape to play with."

Play?
Wang Xiao was stunned.

But everything that happened next was just as Chu Yangping had expected.

Fang Xu took the old ape to wander around Wucheng for three days, during which time they just ate, drank and had fun, and had no intention of causing any trouble for them at all.

The three major families breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

One day, Fang Xuzheng and the old ape were strolling on the street while eating candied haws. A warrior came up to them and bowed, "Excuse me, are you Young Master Fang from the Ascension Society?"

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment and nodded: "That's right."

Upon seeing this, the warrior took out an invitation from his bosom and handed it to him respectfully, saying, "I am here on behalf of the head of the family to invite Young Master Fang and Senior Yuan to come to my house for a banquet tonight."

Going to a banquet?

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then opened the invitation and took a look.

Chu Yangping from the Chu family?
This guy invites me to a dinner at his home?
After closing the invitation, he looked at Old Ape and said, "Uncle Ape, do you want to try the dishes of the three major families in Wucheng?"

The old ape bit off a hawthorn from the candied haws in his hand with great effort and nodded slightly, saying, "That's fine."

Seeing that he agreed, Fang Xu said to the warrior: "Go back and tell Master Chu that Fang Xu will be at the banquet on time."

The warrior bowed and left.

As night fell, in the living room of the Chu family, Fang Xu and Lao Yuan sat at the wine table, accompanied by Chu Yangping and one of his uncles.

Fang Xu asked curiously, "I heard that the Chu, Feng and Wang families in Wucheng are very close friends. Didn't the head of the Chu family invite the heads of the Feng and Wang families to a banquet today?"

Chu Yangping was startled, with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "I sent someone to deliver the invitation. Maybe the two family heads have something to do."

Fang Xu laughed inwardly when he heard this, and then did not ask any more questions.

The banquet was normal. Chu Yangping, a martial artist at the fifth level of Martial Honor, pulled his uncle, who was at the fourth level of Martial Honor, to try to please Fang Xu, flattering him so much that Fang Xu could hardly bear it.

The banquet ended at 11 p.m. After leaving the Chu family, Fang Xu touched his stomach and looked around.

The old ape asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

Fang Xu smiled faintly: "Find someone to ask for directions."

The old ape was puzzled: "Boy, are you drunk? I remember the way back to the inn."

Fang Xu waved his hand: "Uncle Yuan, I'm looking for the Wang family and the Feng family."

Just as he finished speaking, two tipsy warriors passed by.

Fang Xu stopped the two men and after some questioning he found out the approximate locations of the Wang and Feng families.

After bringing the old ape to the gate of Wang's house, the warrior guarding the gate recognized Fang Xu at a glance, approached him with some fear and asked, "Are you Young Master Fang from the Ascension Society?"

Fang Xu nodded: "Is your master at home?"

The warrior hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes... yes."

"Go and report it. I have something to discuss with him."

Seeing that Fang Xu had no intention of taking action, the warrior finally put his heart back into his stomach and quickly bowed: "Young Master Fang, wait a moment."

A moment later, Wang Xiao, the head of the Wang family, hurried out of the yard.

When he saw Fang Xu, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Young Master Fang, your late-night visit really brings honor to my humble abode."

Fang Xu smiled faintly, then his face turned cold and he said, "Is Patriarch Wang still angry about the apology gift he gave me that day?"

Wang Xiao's expression froze, and he quickly said, "Young Master Fang, you are joking. I am definitely not such a stingy person!"

"Besides, my Wang family was deceived and participated in the pursuit of Fang Shaoxia. We should have paid some compensation. Fang Shaoxia was generous. How could Wang be angry about this?"

Fang Xu nodded and said, "Then Patriarch Chu invited me to a banquet today and sent an invitation to Patriarch Wang. Why didn't Patriarch Wang attend the banquet?"

Wang Xiao was completely stunned.

"No!"

"Wang didn't even receive the Chu family's invitation!"

"Didn't receive it?" Fang Xu frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm drunk, but I clearly heard Chu Yangping say that he asked someone to send you an invitation..."

"Forget it, since it's just a misunderstanding, I'll take my leave."

Fang Xu didn't say much, just turned around and left the Wang family.

"Young Master Fang, come in and have a cup of tea!" Wang Xiao temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind and shouted loudly.

Fang Xu didn't even turn his head, and waved his hand and said, "No, I've already made an appointment with the head of the Feng family."

Watching him and the old ape disappear around the corner, Wang Xiao's face instantly turned ugly.

Knowing that Fang Xu was visiting Wucheng, he suggested that the three families should treat him to a banquet. That way, even if Fang Xu regretted his decision in the future and wanted to take revenge, the three families might be able to use their friendship today to beg for mercy from him.

As a result, Feng Dong and Chu Yangping both said that they did not want to get involved with Fang Xu and refused.

But now, one of them invited Fang Xu to dinner, and the other one asked Fang Xu to have tea!
He was the only one who was kept in the dark!
And that damn Chu Yangping, why did he say that he sent me an invitation but I didn’t go?
Is this going to make Fang Xu hate the Wang family even more?

The more Wang Xiao thought about it, the angrier he became. He returned home in anger, ready to find the two of them tomorrow to ask them questions.

After Fang Xu and the other person left the Wang family, they went directly to the Feng family.

After seeing Feng Dong, Fang Xu said directly: "Master Feng, long time no see."

Feng Dong was also frightened by Fang Xu's sudden visit, but when he saw that Fang Xu had no intention of attacking him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Why would Young Master Fang come to my humble abode so late at night?"

Fang Xu smiled and cupped his hands: "I accompanied Uncle Yuan to have a meal and passed by here. I was a little thirsty, so I was thinking if I could come over and ask for a cup of tea?"

When Feng Dong heard this, he was secretly delighted and quickly said:

"Of course!"

"Young Master Fang, Senior Yuan, please come in!"

After inviting Fang Xu and Lao Yuan in, Feng Dong quickly ordered someone to fetch his treasured tea and demonstrated the tea ceremony to Lao Yuan and Fang Xu.

The three of them drank the delicious tea and enjoyed themselves quite a lot.

Fang Xu suddenly said, "I heard that the Chu, Feng and Wang families in Wucheng are very close friends. The head of the Feng family has such good tea. How about sending someone to call the two heads of the Chu and Wang families to taste it together?"

Hearing this, Feng Dong was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Brother Chu and Brother Wang both have the habit of going to bed early. It would be bad to disturb them late at night. Young Master Fang, do you think drinking tea like this is a bit boring?"

Fang Xu nodded.

Feng Dong showed a hint of understanding on his face, then he smiled and called a maid over and whispered something in her ear.

The maid nodded and walked out.

After a while, several beautiful women came in one after another, holding musical instruments such as pipa and guzheng.

Among this group of beautiful women, there was a tall and more charming woman who was wearing a navel-baring short jacket on the upper body and a low-waisted and high-slit silk skirt on the lower body. The barefoot woman stood quietly.

When Fang Xu saw the woman, he was slightly stunned.

The reason for his slight shock was not entirely because of the woman's appearance and figure. He was stunned because he could feel that the woman in front of him was from Yushan.

Another thing is that after practicing the art of praying to heaven, he could tell at a glance that the woman was about to die, even if she was someone with a lower level of cultivation than himself.

To be exact, we won’t see the sun tomorrow.

Feng Dong had been secretly paying attention to Fang Xu's expression. Seeing Fang Xu staring at the woman absent-mindedly, although he felt a little painful, he was still very satisfied.

"let's start."

Following his orders, the women bowed slightly, then each performed their duties and began to play music and dance.

The women of Yushan Country are naturally charming. The woman in front of him would probably be considered a stunning beauty in Yushan Country, comparable to Yushan Tianyi.

The dance she is dancing now seems to have been designed by a professional. Combined with her natural charm and stunning appearance, most people would have been lost in it long ago.

After the dance ended, Feng Dong waved his hand and asked the woman to come over.

"This is Young Master Fang from the Ascension Society. Come and meet him."

The woman bowed slightly and said in a soft voice, "I greet Young Master Fang."

Fang Xu nodded.

Feng Dong smiled and said, "Young Master Fang may not know that this girl is from Yushan Country."

"Women in Yushan Country have been learning how to please men since they were young. I bought this girl at a high price, and she is still a virgin. How about giving her to Young Master Fang today and letting her serve him?"

Fang Xu didn't say anything, but just glanced at the woman quietly.

He saw a hint of pleading in the woman's eyes.

"what's your name?"

The woman bowed slightly and said, "I don't have a name. Please give me one, Young Master Fang."

Hearing this, a hint of gloom flashed across Feng Dong's eyes.

Fang Xu glanced at him and then looked at the woman and said:
"A branch of red flowers blooms with fragrance from the dew, and the rain and clouds in Wushan are in vain to break one's heart."

"From today on, you will be called Ningxiang."

The woman showed a hint of joy on her face, and bowed slightly and said, "Ningxiang thanks Young Master Fang for giving her the name."

"Just call me Young Master." Fang Xu said.

"Yes, sir." Ningxiang stood quietly beside him.

On the other side, Feng Dong felt uncomfortable as he saw the beauty he bought at a high price was being trained so well by Fang Xu before he could even enjoy her.

But when Feng Dong thought that Fang Xu accepted Ningxiang, it at least meant that he had completely let go of the pursuit, so he still felt it was worth it.

"Come, Young Master Fang, Senior Yuan, have some tea!" Trying his best not to look at Ningxiang, Feng Dong raised the teacup in front of him and said.

After the three of them drank some tea, Feng Dong said casually:

"Where did Young Master Fang drink today?"

After saying this, Fang Xu suddenly smiled awkwardly and did not answer. He asked Ningxiang to help him add tea.

Seeing this, Feng Dong felt a little confused.

This street is where their three major families live. In order to show their status and also for the sake of peace and quiet, there are no restaurants or the like around it.

If Fang Xu and Lao Yuan really passed by here, they most likely drank wine at the Chu and Wang families!
When Wang Xiao proposed to invite Fang Xu to a banquet, he and Chu Yangping refused.

It seems that it is very likely that Wang Xiao secretly hosted Fang Xu for a banquet without telling them.

You are so good, Wang Xiao!

Feng Dong already had a plan in mind. He would definitely drag Chu Yangping to settle the score with Wang Xiao tomorrow!
After drinking tea until the end of the hour of Hai, Fang Xu took Ningxiang and left the Feng family.

After returning to his residence, the old ape looked at Ningxiang who was standing beside him, then looked at Fang Xu and said with a strange smile:
"I'll get another room, kid. I've been a heavy sleeper lately."

After saying that, he left the room.

Ningxiang blushed a little, lowered her head, and pinched the corner of her clothes.

Although she had learned how to please men since she was young, it was her first time serving a man and she was a little nervous.

Fang Xu glanced at her and saw that the aura of death condensed above her head had dissipated a little, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that if he doesn't take Ningxiang out of the Feng family, she will die tonight.

"Give you two choices."

Fang Xu said calmly.

Ningxiang was thinking about what she should do next to make Fang Xu happier and more comfortable, and was a little surprised to hear these words out of the blue.

"Sir, please give me your orders."

Fang Xu said, "First, I will give you some money and you can make a living on your own."

"Second, you can follow me, but if you encounter danger and I have no time to take care of you, you may die at any time."

Ningxiang was stunned when she heard this, then she leaned forward and said, "Ningxiang wants to follow you, Master."

Fang Xu was a little curious: "Why?"

Ningxiang looked a little sad and said, "My lord, you don't know that as people from Yushan, we are perfect playthings in the eyes of the men of Yu Country. They sent warriors to capture us, hired people to train us, and then..."

"Then you can either enjoy it yourself, or sell it at a high price or give it away..."

"If I leave you, I will be caught sooner or later. Instead of that, I might as well follow you to see the world. That way, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

After listening to her explanation, Fang Xu nodded and said, "You are already a warrior now. I will give you some resources later. You should practice well on the way. In this way, you will have more power to protect yourself when you encounter danger."

The major families of the Yu State are not a threat for the time being on this trip, but the Yanshen Sect hiding in the dark may attack them at any time.

The old ape doesn't have much fighting power and can only rely on himself.

"Thank you, sir!" Ningxiang bowed quickly.

When the warriors from the Yu Kingdom captured them, they would only try to make them more obedient, and it would be impossible for them to practice martial arts.

Ningxiang was naturally very happy that Fang Xu actually gave her resources and allowed her to practice martial arts.

"Okay, just wait by the side tonight."

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

Ever since he returned to Fenglin Town and met Wang again some time ago, Fang Xu realized a problem.

He is now a warrior and has absorbed a large amount of inheritance, with an additional life attribute of up to 459. As a result, his lifespan is also far longer than that of an ordinary warrior.

In the long life, a woman like Wang will turn into a skeleton within a hundred years.

After all, he was not a heartless person and could not easily abandon the woman with whom he had a relationship.

So, he decided not to touch Ningxiang for the time being.

If she shows some talent in martial arts in the future, I can consider her.

Ningxiang didn't know what Fang Xu was thinking this time. She just thought that she didn't know how to deal with things, which made Fang Xu lose interest. She felt a little uneasy.

That night, Ningxiang stayed by his side, waiting for Fang Xu to call her at any time.

But in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep, while Fang Xu was still practicing and didn't wake up.

The next morning, the old ape knocked on the door. Fang Xu opened his eyes and looked at Ningxiang who was sleeping beside him leaning against a desk. He opened the door on his own.

The old ape walked in, looked at Ningxiang beside him curiously, and said, "Boy, didn't you do anything last night?"

Fang Xu shook his head.

The old ape asked again: "So what are you going to do?"

"Take this little girl with you or let her go?"

Before Fang Xu could answer, Ningxiang woke up from her deep sleep. She opened her eyes and saw Fang Xu and the old ape standing in front of her. She stood up in a panic and said in a low voice, "Master, Ningxiang will go get you some water right away."

Seeing this, the old ape smiled awkwardly and continued talking.

At noon, the three of them left the inn and found a good clothing store in the city. Fang Xu bought some decent clothes for Ningxiang, as it would be a bit inappropriate to always let her wear the dancer's outfit.

After changing her clothes, Ningxiang looked less charming and more noble.

After buying clothes, Fang Xu went to the horse market and bought a good horse. He rode the horse himself while Ningxiang drove the carriage. The three of them left Wucheng and continued to head east.

In Wucheng, the heads of the three families, Chu, Feng and Wang, gathered together again after Fang Xu left.

However, this time, the three of them had their own thoughts. After questioning each other, they parted unhappily and all held grudges.

From this moment on, the peaceful coexistence of the three major families in Wucheng became history.

Fang Xu was too lazy to care about these things. What he did last night was nothing more than a casual move. If it could cause the three major families in Wucheng to fall into chaos and consume each other, it would be the best.

Canghai City.

After leaving Wucheng, the three did not stop on the road and went directly to Canghai City.

This was Fang Xu's second time in this city. After finding an inn to stay in, he went directly to the dock to inquire.

If I want to take the old ape to see the sea, going to Fushan Kingdom seems to be a good choice. I can also visit Gong Wanrong by chance.

After walking around the dock, Fang Xu found that no ships seemed willing to go out to sea recently. He learned from some fishermen and sailors that even the Liang family of Canghai City, which owned a treasure ship and a martial arts master, had no plans to go to the deep sea recently.

It is said that all this is related to something that happened in the deep sea.

Fang Xu asked around and finally got some clues from several warriors who had been out to sea some time ago.

According to several warriors, during this period of time, sea beasts in the deep sea have gathered in large numbers in the deep sea near the coastline of Yu State, and even a lot of sirens that are rarely seen on ordinary days have appeared.

These sea beasts blocked almost all shipping routes from Yu State to Fushan State. Unless a ship could fly over from the sky, no ship could safely reach Fushan State.

Hearing this, Fang Xu became curious.

The previous sea beasts went berserk because the Yanshen sect stronghold in Fushan Kingdom poisoned the sea and captured sea beasts for sacrifice.

But the Yanshen Sect of Fushan Kingdom had already been destroyed by him, Gong Wanrong and others. Logically, there should be no reason that could cause the sea beasts to go berserk.

unless……

A mysterious and terrifying monster suddenly appeared in Fang Xu's mind!

Immortal carved stone boat!

That was a forbidden stone boat that he and Changlong had accidentally encountered in the sea.

But according to Changlong, the immortal stone boat is a taboo in the deep sea. No sea beasts should dare to approach the place where the stone boat appears.

Out of curiosity, Fang Xu bought a small boat from a fisherman and rowed to the shallow sea alone.

"Long dragon!"

Letting the boat drift on the sea, Fang Xu shouted in a deep voice.

He didn't know whether Changlong was still in this sea area recently, but since this sea area could attract a large number of sea beasts and sirens, he thought Changlong should be nearby.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour after Fang Xu shouted, a rapid current from the distant sea quickly came to the boat.

Wow!

A huge head emerged from the water!

"Fang Xu!" There were some subtle changes in Changlong's voice. The last time I saw it, it sounded like a child who had just learned to speak. Now its voice sounded a little more mature.

The huge head came in front of Fang Xu, and the long dragon rubbed against him like a spoiled child.

Looking at the two bulging lumps on Changlong's head, which had now sprouted two tender horns, Fang Xu was very surprised and asked, "Changlong, your horns have grown out?"

The long dragon raised its head proudly and shook it left and right in front of Fang Xu, as if showing off the dragon horns on its head.

"Recently, a mysterious energy suddenly appeared in this sea area. After absorbing this energy, many sea beasts have a tendency to evolve into monsters."

"It was after I absorbed that kind of energy that the horns on my head grew rapidly."

Changlong said excitedly.

Can the mysterious energy help sea beasts evolve into monsters?

Fang Xu felt a little unbelievable.

Changlong was able to gain wisdom and transform into a demon because he had a sudden enlightenment about the star map in the sea, and the Tao rhyme emanating from his body influenced him.

As for this energy that can help sea beasts transform into monsters...

Fang Xu was thinking in his heart, and suddenly a guess flashed through his mind. He looked at Changlong excitedly and said, "Do you know where this energy comes from?"

Changlong shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"That Immortal Stone Boat hasn't left yet. We sea beasts don't dare get close to it. We can only wander around. If we're lucky, we might be able to catch a glimpse of mysterious energy occasionally."

"Fang Xu, I've made a lot of siren friends recently."

"I'll introduce you to them later."

Fang Xu nodded, and then said: "I want to go to Fushan Country, can you take me there?"

"No problem." Changlong said directly.

The fishermen in Canghai City dared not go out to sea because the sea beasts in the sea were too violent. Changlong was a sea monster, so it should be no problem for him to take himself and the old ape out to sea.

"Okay then, I'll go pick them up and come back to you."

After bidding farewell to Changlong, Fang Xu returned to the inn, took Lao Yuan and Ningxiang to the dock, and then the three of them rowed the boat towards the shallow sea.

"Sir, are we going to row this boat out to sea?"

As a native of Yushan, Ningxiang feels a unique sense of familiarity with the sea water.

"You'll find out later."

After rowing the boat to the shallow sea, Fang Xu shouted again.

"Long dragon!"

On the small boat, Lao Yuan and Ningxiang were both curious about what Fang Xu was shouting on the empty sea.

Who is Changlong?

While the two were wondering, the dragon's huge head suddenly emerged from the sea!
The old ape and Ningxiang were so frightened that they stood up and looked at the dragon's huge and ferocious head with serious expressions.

"Uncle Yuan, don't be afraid, this is Changlong, a sea monster friend you know."

Gently stroking Changlong's head, Fang Xu comforted him.

Kraken?

The old ape looked quietly at the long dragon in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the black dragon in the Tilan Mountain River.

"This little guy looks a lot like Black Dragon when he was young."

Black dragon?

Hearing him mention the black dragon, Fang Xu suddenly thought of Yushan Tianyi, whom he and Gu Qiu met in Beicang City!
At that time, Yushan Tianyi was transformed by the Yanshen Sect into a so-called "Great Lord", and his lower body seemed to be that of a black dragon.

Considering that the giant turtle only found the black dragon's head in the river, the murderer who killed the black dragon was most likely a member of the Yanshen Sect!
Thinking of this, his face became a little solemn.

The old ape once said that the black dragon's strength has reached the brink of transforming into a dragon, and its combat power is estimated to be no weaker than Jiang Feng, who is at the half-step Yuanwu realm.

The black dragon with such strength was easily killed and its body was taken away.

How terrifying is the strength of the person who made the move?
Could it be that there are still Yuanwu Realm experts in Yanshen Sect?
"Fang Xu?" Changlong curiously stretched his head in front of Fang Xu and called out.

Fang Xu came back to his senses and saw Changlong looking at the old ape curiously, so he quickly introduced him, "This is Uncle Yuan, a member of the Earthly Demon Ape clan on land."

"This is Ningxiang."

Changlong nodded, then asked, "Are we going to Fushan Country now?"

He seemed very curious about the old ape, and while he was speaking, his big eyes would stare at the old ape from time to time.

"Yes, let's go now." Fang Xu said.

Upon hearing this, Changlong immediately lowered his body and said, "Then all of you come up."

Fang Xu jumped onto the back of the long dragon with the old ape and Ningxiang, then turned around and put the small fishing boat into his Qiankun bag.

"Sit down and let's go!"

The long dragon let out a joyful cry and then rushed straight forward.

On his back, the old ape looked at Fang Xu curiously and said, "Boy, you are quite impressive. You even made a friend who is a sea monster."

Fang Xu smiled and scratched his head.

My luck seems to be quite good. In the depths of Tilan Mountain, when I was in a seemingly fatal situation, I met the old ape. The last time I went out to sea, the treasure ship was destroyed and I met Changlong when I was almost in a fatal situation again.

The old ape slowly stood up from the dragon's back, with his hands behind his back and his somewhat hunched body, he looked quietly into the distance.

The sun was setting in the west, and the vast sea in the distance was shining with golden light.

For the old ape who saw the sea for the first time, this scene was truly magical.

A trace of relief appeared on the old ape's face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Born in the big forest of Tilan Mountain, he followed Fang Xu out of the forest. He saw the vast desert, experienced the mysterious and bizarre Death Sand Sea, tasted the fine wine and food of the world, saw the extremely prosperous Zhongzhou Imperial City, and now he has come to the sea, standing on the back of a sea monster, and traveling in the vast ocean.

At this moment, the old ape's heart that was waiting to die suddenly underwent some strange changes.

The world is still big, and he suddenly wanted to see the scenery he had never seen before.

only……

Feeling the depletion of energy and blood in his body, the old ape knew he had no chance.

"Fang Xu, it's mysterious energy!"

The long dragon that was moving forward quickly suddenly shouted, interrupting the old ape's thoughts.

Mysterious energy?

Upon hearing this, Fang Xu quickly looked into the distance.

"That is……"

The old ape also noticed a strange green liquid that suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

"Hold on tight!"

The long dragon shouted, and his body suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the green liquid that was floating in the sea!
There were many sea beasts and sirens gathered in this sea area. At this time, the green liquid suddenly appeared, and not only Changlong himself discovered it, but other sea beasts also swarmed over!

The old ape stared at the green liquid with a complicated look on his face.

"Changlong, let me help you!"

Fang Xu quickly came to the long dragon's head, and with a flash of light in his hand, a pitch-black short spear appeared!

This short spear was a one-time treasure that he had someone make in Liangzhou City. He originally intended to use it to make up for his shortcoming of not having long-range attacks before breaking through to the martial artist realm. He never used it many times after that, so he kept it in his Qiankun bag.

Now a large number of sea beasts have discovered the green liquid and are swimming towards it.

Fang Xu and the other two were on the long dragon, so it did not dare to sprint at full speed for fear of leaving them behind, and thus fell behind several of the sea beasts.

Seeing this, Fang Xu threw the short spear in his hand directly, accurately hitting the head of a huge monster fish!

The strange fish felt pain and its speed immediately slowed down!

Fang Xu took out another short spear and threw it at another sea beast that was bigger than the dragon!
Just like this, several sea beasts that had approached the green liquid were dealt with by Fang Xu!
The long dragon rushed forward instantly, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed the green liquid in one gulp!

When the other sea beasts saw the dragon swallowing the green liquid, they were about to attack him, but when they felt the horrible aura on the dragon, they immediately gave up the idea and scattered away.

The moment Changlong swallowed the green liquid, Fang Xu, who was on his body, could instantly feel an extremely mysterious energy rushing into Changlong's body!
This energy carries a terrifying vitality and appears extremely pure.

"ape……"

Fang Xu was about to turn around and ask the old ape, but he noticed the old ape's expression.

Nostalgia, yearning, and a touch of urgency...

Seeing the complicated expression on the old ape's face, Fang Xu had a rough answer to the question in his mind, even though he didn't ask it.

Purification pool...

The green liquid swallowed by the dragon is most likely the water from the purification pool.

Only in this way would such an expression appear on the old ape's face.

Fang Xu, secretly delighted, immediately made up his mind to find this purification pool!
"Changlong, send us to Fushan Kingdom first." Fang Xu spoke, and Changlong headed directly towards Fushan Kingdom without any hesitation.

The branch of the Ascension Society of Fushan State.

After Fang Xu arrived, he didn't say much to Gong Wanrong. He directly handed Ningxiang to her and asked her to help take care of her temporarily. Then he brought the old ape back to the sea.

On the dragon's back, the old ape looked at Fang Xu curiously and said, "Boy, what are you planning to do in all this mystery?"

Fang Xu smiled without saying anything, and just told Changlong to go find the immortal stone boat.

Although Changlong was somewhat reluctant, he still took Fang Xu towards the direction of the Xianke Stone Boat.

In the vast sea.

"Fang Xu, we can't go any further. I'm scared."

The aura of the immortal stone boat had a deterrent effect on the ferocious beasts in the sea that came from the depths of their souls, and they dared not get close at all.

Fang Xu nodded and said, "You and Uncle Yuan wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he dived into the sea.

On the sea, looking at Fang Xu who disappeared into the sea, the old ape vaguely guessed that Fang Xu should have realized that the green liquid was the purification pool.

"This kid is still too smart..."

The old ape had a complex expression on his face, including expectation, relief, and worry.

The reason for his anticipation was that he had seen the purification pool and understood its incredible features.

The purification pool that Jiang Feng took him to was a broken blue purification pool. Due to its breakage, the blue liquid in the purification pool was almost dry, leaving only some turbid residue. Jiang Feng added some herbs and introduced some mountain spring water into it, which allowed him to barely soak in it.

Even such a purification pool was snatched by Jiang Feng from the hands of two big monsters.

The liquid in this purification pool is green and looks to be of a higher grade than the one he had seen before.

If I could find it, not only would I have a chance to recover, but I might even be able to make further progress.

But the old ape also knew that there were far more ferocious beasts in the sea than on land, and they were even more terrifying!
Just a stream of green liquid escaping from the purification pool can attract a large number of sea beasts to fight for it. What will happen if a real purification pool is found?

I'm afraid that the sirens and sea beasts that have lived in the sea for hundreds or thousands of years will go crazy!
"Senior Yuan, are you worried about Fang Xu?"

Changlong lay quietly on the water, feeling the old ape's emotional fluctuations, and spoke slowly.

The old ape sighed slightly and said, "The sea is still too dangerous."

After that, he slowly stood up, looked at the sea around him and said, "Changlong, if other sea monsters come over later, you can just throw me into the sea and go to help Fang Xu."

"Take him away when necessary, don't worry about me."

Changlong turned around and looked at the old ape in confusion and said, "Uncle Ape, I can feel Fang Xu's dependence on you. If this is the case, he may never forgive himself in his life."

The old ape laughed: "I am dying and only have a few months left to live. He still has a long way to go..."

Changlong didn't answer for a long time.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yuan. Few sea monsters dare to approach this sea area."

The old ape asked doubtfully, "Because of the immortal stone boat?"

Changlong nodded: "The Immortal Carved Stone Boat is a taboo in the deep sea. Although we don't know what's so scary about it, the pressure from the depths of the soul can't be wrong."

"Although an intelligent demon like me can temporarily withstand the fear from the depths of my soul, I can't hold on for long."

"As for those unintelligent sea beasts, they don't dare to approach at all."

……

In the deep sea, after Fang Xu jumped into the water, he simply identified the direction and swam directly forward.

Soon, he saw the outline of the immortal stone boat in the misty sea.

The surrounding sea water was very quiet, so quiet that not even a small fish or shrimp could be seen.

This situation undoubtedly indicates that there must be something on the Xianke Stone Boat that makes marine creatures very afraid.

Cautiously approaching the immortal stone boat, Fang Xu finally saw the patterns on the stone boat again, and also roughly saw the overall appearance of the stone boat.

The stone boat was very large, much larger than the Liang family treasure ship he had seen when he visited Fushan Kingdom last time.

The whole body is made of a very strange material. It looks gray through the sea water, as if it is made of the most common granite.

But Fang Xu knew that this material was definitely not ordinary granite. After all, if it was made of granite, this stone boat would have been crushed in the deep sea long ago.

Moreover, the immortal stone boat must have been soaked in the sea water for quite some time, and there is not even a trace of moss on it.

After swimming around the stone boat briefly, Fang Xu estimated that the total length of the stone boat was probably more than three hundred feet!
At a length of one thousand meters, it is much longer than the longest aircraft carrier in the previous life.

Boom!
Just as Fang Xu was carefully looking at the immortal stone boat in front of him, a low and strange sound suddenly came from the inside of the immortal stone boat!

The next moment, Fang Xu saw a green liquid slowly floating out from the inside of the stone boat!
This green liquid was more than the one that the dragon had swallowed before. After flying out of the Xianke stone boat, it slowly drifted towards the sea.

As the green liquid rose, the pressure of the sea water gradually decreased, and the liquid split into three parts.

Roar!
Pfft!
Pfft!
……

Three streams of green liquid floated away. Not long after, Fang Xu, who was in the deep sea, felt terrifying auras approaching rapidly from a distance. A large number of sea beasts fought frantically for the three green liquids!

Fang Xu even sensed several existences among these fighting sea beasts that were more terrifying than Jiang Feng!

He just hid quietly beside the immortal stone boat, not daring to act rashly.

Sea beasts and sirens dare not approach the immortal stone boat. Hiding beside the stone boat can ensure their own safety.

After the commotion above his head gradually ended, Fang Xu moved closer to the immortal stone boat.

Until he carefully came to the edge of the stone boat and even grabbed the mast of the stone boat, he still did not find any danger inside the stone boat.

With a determined mind, Fang Xu immediately crawled into a hole on the stone boat.

Goo!
The moment his body entered the cave, a huge bubble emerged from the cave, and the next moment, Fang Xu fell directly down!

He just fell down!
There was not even a trace of sea water inside the Xianke stone boat. It was very clean inside and did not look like it had been soaked in sea water for countless years.

Slowly getting up, Fang Xu took out the broken bronze sword.

The strange long stick had now taken root in the acupoint space and turned into a small sapling. It could no longer be used as a weapon.

Looking around cautiously, Fang Xu looked at the walls and floors that were engraved with intricate patterns.

The entire stone boat was empty, without even some simple tables, chairs or benches. It looked like a big coffin.

Fang Xu was a little confused. Could it be that a powerful person who could create something like the stone boat didn't even have the most basic desires?
According to common sense, if an ordinary person wants to get a car, no matter how low-key it is, he or she should at least decorate it simply and put some tables, chairs, benches, etc.

But these are not found in the stone boat.

Continuing forward, Fang Xu crossed a stone gate and saw two forks in the road.

A strange energy was faintly coming from one of the forks in the road. Fang Xu felt it carefully and found that this strange energy was similar to what he had sensed from Changlong at the beginning.

It's full of vitality and makes people feel comfortable.

He hurriedly walked towards the corridor ahead.

After walking along the corridor for a while, a staircase leading downwards appeared at the end.

Feeling the energy becoming stronger and stronger, Fang Xu walked down the stone steps without any hesitation.

Slowly walking down the stone steps and seeing the scene in front of him, Fang Xu was stunned!

At the bottom of the nearly one-kilometer-long stone boat, a strange pool of one meter square appeared in the middle. There were a large number of densely packed patterns carved around the pool, which dazzled the eyes!
And in the middle of that strange pool, the sticky green liquid exuding endless vitality looks like an emerald inlaid at the bottom of the pool!
Purification pool!
There is actually a purification pool inside the Xianke Stone Boat!

Fang Xu carefully came to the edge of the pool and looked at the sticky liquid in the pool that was half a meter deep. He was completely stunned!
The green liquid that Changlong had snatched from the sea before was at most a wine glass.

Just this one thing is enough to make the sea beasts and sirens in the ocean fight and snatch it regardless of their lives.

What you see in front of you is a whole pool of green liquid!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Fang Xu suddenly frowned.

According to what the old ape said, shouldn’t the purification pool be created by heaven and earth?

How could this purification pool appear in the Xianke stone boat?
Looking at the complex patterns inside the purification pool, Fang Xu suddenly had a terrible idea!

This purification pool is man-made!

In fact, the entire Xianke Stone Boat might have been built for this purification pool!
The complex patterns all over the Xianke stone boat are most likely part of the purification pool.

With such speculation in mind, Fang Xu couldn't help but feel a little scared!
How powerful is the owner of this immortal stone boat that he could actually create something comparable to what was created by heaven and earth?

If such a powerful person could leave behind one ten-thousandth of his inheritance, it would probably be enough to bring the current martial arts world to its peak.

Fang Xu searched hurriedly in the stone boat.

But to his disappointment, there seemed to be nothing useful in the entire Xianke Stone Boat except this pool of green liquid.

Even the stones on the stone boat, Fang Xu found after many attempts that he couldn't knock off even a single bit.

So hard!
After trying in vain, he could only take out all the wine jars from his Qiankun bag, pour out all the wine in the jars, and use the wine jars to fill more than a dozen jars with green energy.

The green liquid in the pool was almost completely cleaned out. Fang Xu was satisfied and put all the wine jars into his Qiankun bag. Then he walked around the entire Xianke stone boat a few times and found that there was indeed nothing else he could take away. He immediately left the Xianke stone boat and swam upwards.

On the sea, nearly an hour had passed since Fang Xu went down, and the sky was gradually darkening.

The old ape couldn't sit still anymore, so he immediately asked, "Changlong, do you want to go down and take a look?"

The Xianke Stone Boat had just released three streams of green liquid, which caused a large number of sea beasts to scramble for them. Changlong was afraid that the old ape would be hurt, so he did not stay there and took him out of the sea area first.

Now when I come back, I find many corpses of sea beasts on the sea.

Obviously these sea beasts died in the fight just now.

Changlong was a little hesitant. The shock brought by the immortal stone boat was too strong, and he didn't dare to get any closer.

Just as the stalemate was happening, a head suddenly popped out from the sea ahead.

"Fang Xu!"

Seeing this, the dragon swam over quickly!
Fang Xu climbed onto the dragon's back and wiped the sea water off his face.

"Are you in no danger?" the old ape asked with a worried look on his face.

Fang Xu shook his head: "It's okay..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a heart-pounding feeling suddenly surged into his heart!

Fang Xu's face changed drastically!

This was the first time he had this feeling after practicing the art of praying to heaven.

This feeling... is as if I am going to die here in the next moment!
"Long dragon!"

"Go! Hurry!"

Below him, Changlong was puzzled, but he could feel Fang Xu's nervousness and fear. He stopped talking nonsense and his body turned into an arrow and swam away!

At this time, beads of sweat had already seeped out of Fang Xu's forehead and his face was full of fear!
Under the perception of the Heavenly Prayer Technique, he felt an extremely terrifying murderous intent enveloping the three of them!

Under this murderous intent, Fang Xu felt like an ant, without even the slightest chance of resistance!
Changlong could feel Fang Xu's inner fear and trembling body. For some reason, a terrifying atmosphere surged into his heart, and his speed soared again!

"coastal!"

“To the shoreline!”

Fang Xu shouted anxiously, and the dragon immediately changed direction and swam towards the coastline.

"Go straight up!"

Although they had arrived at the shallow sea and the terrifying murderous intent had weakened, Fang Xu was still worried.

Changlong didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly to the beach ahead with the two of them!

However, before he could rush to the beach, a horrifying wave suddenly erupted from the deep sea behind the three of them!

This wave spread rapidly, and wherever it passed, no matter whether it was sea beasts or powerful sirens, they had no chance to react at all and were directly turned into blood by this wave!
The terrifying waves dissipated in all directions, and the long dragon that was almost on the beach was swept by the waves that were weakened by who knows how many times, and the hard scales on its body broke into pieces!
The flesh and blood on the tail was melting away at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the white bones!

The long dragon felt pain, but still swung his body violently, throwing the old ape and Fang Xu onto the shore!
The aftermath of the horrific wave continued to destroy his body. Nearly 90% of the scales on his body were shattered, and a large amount of blood dyed the surrounding sea water red!
Seeing this, Fang Xu flashed and appeared directly above the long dragon's head!

Then, the Demon Ape used its third transformation and transformed into a giant Demon Ape. He simply hugged the dragon's body with both hands and lifted it up, then activated the Kuiniu transformation!
There was a flash of black light under his feet, and the large dragon scale shield acted as a fulcrum, directly pulling the long dragon out of the sea and bringing it to the beach in front.

At this time, all the scales on the dragon's body were shattered, and its flesh and internal organs were also severely injured.

"Long dragon!"

Fang Xu retracted his magical powers and came to the front of the long dragon.

Changlong tried hard to look straight at Fang Xu with his only remaining eye, wanting to say something, but when he opened his mouth, a large amount of blood gushed out, making him unable to speak.

The huge head moved hard and rubbed Fang Xu a few times. A tear flowed from its huge eye.

"Fang... Fang Xu, am I... am I... going to die?"

After struggling for a long time, he finally spoke.

Fang Xu quickly shook his head, a light flashed in his hand, and he took out a large jar of wine.
