Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 246 What did you say

The whale shark is a beast in the sea. It is as big as a whale, but it is more ferocious and bloodthirsty than a shark. Qin Chuan, who was born on the seashore, knows this sea beast very well. There is death but no life. Fortunately, this kind of sea beast likes to live in the deep sea and does not often visit the offshore waters.

The hull suddenly shook violently, and then tilted at a large angle. The three of them ignored the guests and immediately went out to deal with the attack of the whale sharks.

Qin Chuan couldn't stay in the cabin any longer, so he followed out. The violent wind and rain did not stop at all. It was a huge test for the merchant ship. Coupled with the whale shark, the situation could be said to be very critical.

Merchant ships are not treasure ships. Apart from having a solid iron shell, they do not have any offensive capabilities. To deal with whale sharks, it is up to those sailors. Fortunately, part of the manual work is done by monks in the Qi refining period, and the other part is warriors full of energy and blood.

Weapons such as harpoons and spears stabbed at the impacting whale sharks. The scales of the whale sharks are tough. Increased their vicious surname.

Experienced sailors began to use more powerful means of attack --- iron anchors, each weighing more than 200 kilograms, with barbs on them, is an important means to deal with powerful sea beasts.

A few iron anchors fell down, and the severely injured whale shark finally retreated, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, several larger whale sharks surrounded them.

"Third-level whale sharks, everyone be careful!" Cultivator Cai yelled, and a flying fork instantly reduced to a size of ten feet, and stabbed at the frontmost whale shark.

The third-order sea beast already has a little wisdom. The whale shark spewed out a jet of water, then jumped up with its huge body, and pulled off the flying fork with its tail, but the flying sword of the monk surnamed Li stabbed just right. Into the eyes of the whale shark, the whale shark suffered a fatal blow and immediately sank to the bottom of the sea. Cultivator Li hurriedly took back the flying sword.

Killing one of them is not a joy, because the other ones have already reached the edge of the ship, and even the iron anchor can't deter them. Once hit, a large part of the merchant ship's iron armor was dented. There was a large tilt, and one crew member lost his balance and fell into the water all at once, "Ah... help me!"

Someone took out a mast to rescue his companions. At some time, a whale shark appeared on the other side of the boat. He Kui hurriedly manipulated a flying sword and stabbed it. The flying sword hit, but unfortunately it was not a serious injury, and the mere magic weapon flying sword was against the shark. As far as this Tier [-] sea beast was concerned, it was just bitten by a mosquito.

The crew who fell into the water had just grabbed the mast, and a huge mouth full of fangs opened towards him at the back. The rescue crew couldn't bear to look any more, and the crew who fell into the water let out a desperate howl.

Suddenly, with a "click", a huge sword light slashed down, and the whale shark's head was cut open and frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everything happened too fast, and when everyone reacted, the giant sword slashed to the other side, and with the continuous "click" sound, all the whale sharks were beheaded, including Deacon Cai and Deacon Li, all stopped. Under the attack, just watch the performance of that person.

Just a cup of tea, the floating carcasses of whale sharks are all around the merchant ship.

"Okay, it's all settled!" Qin Chuan waved his hand, and the Xuanming White Bone Sword was in his pocket.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I don't want to thank you for your great kindness. We Haiwangzong have recorded this kindness of fellow Daoist!" Deacon Cai and Deacon Li clasped their hands together.

"Don't worry about small things. It's windy and rainy outside, but it's more comfortable in the cabin!"

"Hehe, fellow daoist said, Lao He, prepare the food and wine!"

The sailors were not idle either, the whale shark was also very valuable, especially the third-tier whale shark, the whole body materials could sell for one or two hundred spirit stones, how could they possibly waste it.

In the cabin, the two deacons of Haiwangzong were much more enthusiastic than before, toasting frequently, Qin Chuan exchanged a few words with them, and then asked about He Kui.

"Fellow Daoist He, why did you join the Sea King Sect, Fellow Daoist Zhou Zixu?"

"Alas... it's a long story!" He Kui drank a glass of wine, and narrated the experiences of these years.

He Kui's experience is almost a microcosm of ordinary monks. Back then, he managed to gather the materials and asked someone to refine the foundation building pill, but in the end the foundation building failed, so he married a wife and had children in frustration.

He has a son, and his cultivation qualifications are better than his own. In order to let the child "not lose at the starting line", the father must earn more spirit stones and strive to create superior conditions, so he joined the Neptune Sect through someone's introduction and became A sailor running a ship.

"... Zhou Daoyou is luckier than me. He took three foundation-building pills and succeeded in building the foundation. Now he has opened a small shop on Lianxing Island. As for Long Daolong and Jia Daoyou, they have not been there since they separated. News!"

"Oh, Zhou Zixu is on Lianxing Island?"

"Well, his life is very nourishing. Fellow Daoist Qin will know it when he gets there!"

……

The storm lasted for almost two hours, the night was getting darker, the wind stopped the rain, and the blue sky was full of stars. Qin Chuan felt that the merchant ship was going too slowly, so he said goodbye and left.

After more than an hour, a series of large and small islands appeared before the eyes. The small islands were only a few miles in radius, and the largest one stretched for two to three hundred miles. This is Lianxing Island.

There are many buildings on the island, and there are several stone castles in dangerous positions. Although it is late at night, the lights are still bright, and there are still people walking on the busiest street.

Qin Chuan landed on the street, glanced at the signs on the shop, and guessed that this was a market for immortal cultivators, and mortal markets were usually closed at night.

The monks who patrolled back and forth questioned a few words, and then continued their duties.

Randomly entered a utensil shop, the store mainly sells magic tools, and the few magic weapons are also garbage in his opinion. What is a little special is that the armor here is of good quality.

I went into a large grocery store again and sold some sundries and two poor-quality magic weapons. The owner of the store found out that he was a big customer and came out to entertain him. When he came out, he had five talisman-making charms Paper and [-] spirit stones.

"Wanfa Pavilion, what a magnificent name!" Qin Chuan walked into a small shop that couldn't be smaller, and a yellow-faced, rat-whiskered, wretched-looking guy was dozing off on the counter.

"Robbery!" With a loud shout, the guy jumped up suddenly, his face full of alertness. When he saw Qin Chuan's face, he quickly rubbed his eyes, and then pinched his own face to prove that he was not dreaming. .

"Brother Qin, it's really you!"

"Haha, Brother Zhou, stay safe!"

Zhou Zixu closed the shop directly, took Qin Chuan to sit down, and set out the food and drink, "After ten years of farewell, brother, you are already in the middle stage of foundation establishment, tsk tsk, those geniuses of super sects are nothing more than that!"

"It's just a fluke, brother Zhou's life is really pleasant!"

"It's all for eating. By the way, how do you know I'm here?"

"I met fellow Taoist He Kui by chance at sea, listen to what he said!"

"So that's the case, alas... It's a pity for Lao He, the three Foundation Establishment Pills failed to allow him to successfully establish a foundation!"

Qin Chuan smiled wryly in his heart. At the beginning, he used six foundation building pills and two Qilin fruits to complete the foundation building, but these words were hard to say, so he changed the subject, "Brother Zhou, how did you get here? Lianxing Island is here, there should be more opportunities on the mainland!"

"I don't want to either. Didn't the Overseas League and the Nineteen Nations League fight a few years ago? In that case, casual cultivators can only be used as cannon fodder besides living in seclusion, so I ran overseas!"

Qin Chuan nodded, "How is the life on the island? I heard from fellow Daoist He that it's not very stable?"

"Well, here is close to the open sea, and there are often sea beasts in and out. For monks on the island, fighting sea beasts is commonplace, and occasionally pirates will patronize. However, Lian Xingdao has four golden cores and dozens of foundation-building monks. Safety is guaranteed to a certain extent, by the way, why did you also run to the sea?"

"Hehe, I offended some people and was chased to sea!"

Seeing that he said it easily, Zhou Zixu didn't take it seriously. The two chatted until it was almost dawn, and Qin Chuan was about to get up to leave when someone knocked on the door of the shop suddenly.

"It's Daoist Yuan, I'll open the door!"

There were two men and a woman who entered the room. The leader looked about 30 years old, with big ears, and his cultivation was in the middle stage of foundation establishment, while the other man and a woman were young people in the Qi refining stage.

After Zhou Zixu brought people in, he introduced them to both parties. This monk named Yuan Long was from the Yuan family, the largest cultivating family in Lianxing Island. The Yuan family owned a spiritual jade mine, and Zhou Zixu was one of their customers. .

"Zhou Daoyou, here are two hundred white blank jade slips and fifty blue blank jade slips. The total number of spirit stones is three hundred. Adding the one and fifty spirit stones owed last year, the total is 450 spirit stones!"

"It's easy to say, it's already prepared for you, you can count it!"

Yuan Long took the storage bag and checked it. "The amount is just right. Fellow Daoist Zhou will let you know in advance if necessary. In addition, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the family ancestor, so you two fellow Daoists must appreciate it!"

After sending the three of them away, Zhou Zixu came up with strange words, "The Yuan family is too good at collecting money. The head of the Yuan family took concubines the year before last, gave birth last year, and this year is their ancestor's birthday. Every time I have to notify , It’s okay if you don’t go, this time, even you, an outsider, will not be spared!”

"Hehe, if you don't go, why don't you wear small shoes?"

"That's right, when defending against sea beasts, they will send you to the most dangerous places!"

Qin Chuan had seen many such things in his previous life, so he didn't make a fuss, "Brother Zhou, I've been away for a long time, I want to go home and have a look, and come to drink with you when I have time!"

"Well, then I won't keep you, and you will have to spend an extra sum of money for nothing the day after tomorrow!"

Qin Chuan chuckled, and just as Yu Jian was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone called "Qin Xiaoyou", and turned his head to see that he was an acquaintance again, "Master Fei, Fairy Fei, why are you here?"

The one who stopped him was none other than Fei Changgong and Fei Xiaohua, father and daughter, with Zhou Hao and Peng Hu beside them.

"Alas... for the birthday of the ancestor of the Yuan family in Lian Xingdao, I specially sent invitations to this old man, so I have to come!" Fei Changgong smiled wryly.

Qin Chuan found that Fei Changgong was showing signs of old age, which was a sign that his lifespan was about to expire, and he failed in his attempt to attack the golden elixir stage.

Now that he met an acquaintance again, he couldn't leave immediately. Zhou Zixu's shop was too small, so they found a restaurant to chat.

"Congratulations to Fairy Fei for successfully establishing her foundation!"

"I would also like to thank Fellow Daoist for the cultivation method!" After Fei Xiaohua built the foundation, she seemed to be a little more attractive than before, but there was always sadness in her expression, as if she had something on her mind.

"Fairy, you're welcome, we each take what we need, it's not a gift!"

Fei Changgong took over the topic, "It's nothing to my little friend, but it is of great significance to our Fei family. However, I still want to invite you. I hope you can give my little girl some time when it's convenient for you." And the members of the Fei family should take care of them!"

"Master, you haven't heard about my falling out with Yan Luozong, have you?"

"I've also heard about this a little bit. In fact, the relationship between our Huoya Island and the Zongmen has not been as good as before!"

"Oh, what happened?"

"What else can I do? Someone thinks that I'm dying, and they are interested in my Fei family's property!"

Qin Chuan sighed, sometimes a lot of money is not necessarily a good thing. Fei Changgong has been a master craftsman for so many years, and he must have accumulated a wealth of wealth. The reason is also related to money. From this point of view, the two are a bit sympathetic.

"Master, what I promised you before is still valid now. As far as I can, the Fei family will never sit idly by in trouble!"

"That's what I'm waiting for. Right now, there's something that needs my help!"

Qin Chuan smiled wryly, "Master, please tell me!"

"Young friend, don't blame me for being snobby, I have no other choice. If I don't meet you today, I'm afraid I'm going to tear my face off with that old man Yuan!"

"Oh, what do you say?"

"To be honest, it's fake for old man Yuan's birthday. The main purpose is to propose marriage to Xiaohua from my family, asking Xiaohua to marry his grandson!"

Qin Chuan understood as soon as he heard it. With Fei Xiaohua's dignity, there are probably few people who are sincerely willing to marry her. The Yuan family's move is simply to take away the Fei family's property, and this method is relatively hidden. Even Yan Luozong It's not easy to intervene.

"Master, find a lover for Little Flower Fairy, wouldn't it be able to shut their mouths?"

"That's what I thought at the beginning, and Xiao Hua and Peng Hu were in love with each other. I planned to fulfill them, but, alas..."

Peng Hu next to him looked ashamed, "I'm the one who didn't live up to it, woo..." A big man actually cried.

"Why are you crying? Look at how promising you are!" Fei Xiaohua yelled angrily, and Peng Hu stopped crying immediately.

Qin Chuan still didn't know why, "Master, what's going on?"

"Let me tell you, Peng Hu fell into someone's trap and fucked a woman while drunk. Originally, this matter was nothing, but suddenly one day the Yuan family came to propose marriage to me, and my father used Peng Hu as an excuse to refuse. , as a result, they brought that woman here, and she was pregnant..."

After listening to Fei Xiaohua's narration, Qin Chuan had to sigh inwardly that people's hearts are sinister, and this link is obviously planned by others long ago.

"Master, Fairy, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The father and daughter glanced at each other, both of them looked unspeakable. After hesitating for a long time, Fei Changgong finally said, "That... Xiaoyou Qin, I want to ask you to be Xiaohua's fiancé!"

"What did you say?" Qin Chuan looked at Fei Changgong in disbelief, his mouth was so wide open that he couldn't close it for a long time!
