Chapter 221 Transnational Spirit Ship
Chapter 221 - Cross-Country Spirit Ship
In the western part of the Liang Kingdom, there is a major Immortal Cultivation town named "Zijing Immortal City".
This Immortal City is close to the border of Liang, and has trade transactions with the Jing Country to the west.
Especially during the war, the Jing country's merchant alliance would send a large amount of war supplies and raw materials to the Liang Immortal Cultivation World.
The current war is led by the Jinyang Sect's camp, which is waging a self-defense counterattack against Liang, with the strategic intent of "relocating north".
Chen and Yan, under some kind of agreement, are watching with cold eyes and have not intervened.
Half a month later, on this day.
In the northern part of Zijing Immortal City, a few hundred miles away, in the middle of a mountain range.
A medium-sized, round-faced, yellow-bearded Foundation Establishment middle-aged man, with his feet on a flying boat, came through the air.
"There are no clan cultivators patrolling the vicinity of the gathering point? The energy of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce is not small."
The round-faced Foundation Establishment middle-aged man, squinted his eyes and looked around.
The round-faced Foundation Establishment middle in front of him was Lu Chang'an's new identity disguised through the Hundred Illusions Mask.
He flipped his hand and took out a white jade tablet, and his divine sense merged into it.
The white jade tablet sent out sensations, pointing to a steep mountain peak hundreds of feet away with dense forests.
Lu Changan pondered for a while and didn't rush into it.
Whoosh!
There was a cracking sound from the back side, and a strong purple-faced man with a heavy braking aura flew in, with one arm wrapped in bandages.
"Your Excellency is also here to gather?"
The purple-faced strong man glanced at Lu Chang'an and similarly took out a white jade tablet.
"Hmm."
Lu Chang'an nodded and lagged behind a little, following the purple-faced strong man as he flew towards the steep mountain peak.
Boo!
Purple-faced man holding a jade tablet, breaking through a layer of invisible cover illusion formation, into the dense forest at the top of the mountain. The so-called dense forest is actually an illusionary formation, and there are not many trees on the mountain, which is bare.
In the center, there are several large rocks, between which are scattered thirty to forty cultivators.
There are both men and women of all ages, mainly at the Foundation Establishment stage.
There are also some Qi Refining Stage cultivators, all of them are young and follow their elders.
"Is the receiving cultivator from the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce here?"
The purple-faced stout man looked towards the center area of the mountaintop and clasped his fists.
However, no one responded from the cultivators at the top of the mountain, quiet for a moment, actually cold.
"Oh......"
Corner of a group of cultivators gathered together, came from the low laughter, seems to have a sneer.
The purple-faced man's face is gloomy, suppressing the body's fury.
He smiled sarcastically and talked to Lu Chang'an who came in with him.
"What is your name?"
"I am Wu Fan, a nameless casual cultivator."
Lu Chang'an casually said.
The purple-faced stout man claimed his surname to be Fang and did not say his identity and origin.
Lu Changan eye: this person is injured body, pure magic power, better than the ordinary foundation cultivator, the body of the heavy fury...... may be a frontline deserter.
Every time a cultivation war occurs, these types of cultivators are in the minority and are often wanted by the sects. Once they are caught, they will end up in a terrible situation.
The two of them chatted idly, occasionally testing a sentence.
"As a meeting point, the cultivators from the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce did not show up, what does Fellow Daoist Wu have to say about this?"
"The cultivators of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce may not have arrived at the scene at all, and simply came along with the giant boat spirit ship to pick us up. In this way, even if there is an accident, they don't have to take the risk and won't leave a handle."
Lu Chang'an's insights had no bright spots.
The purple-faced strong man's eyes flickered and lowered his voice: "The cultivators of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce may be mixed in the crowd, observing every cultivator who arrives at the venue......."
"Perhaps."
Lu Changan did not move.
Between the two of them talking, he felt a hidden divine sense that lingered on himself and the purple-faced strong man.
That divine sense was a bit stronger than the average False Pill Realist, so it should be a cultivator who is good at probing.
The purple-faced man's words attracted the attention of that false dan level of divine sense, lingering on him for one or two more breaths.
Lu Chang'an's disguised identity, middle stage of Foundation Establishment, mana breath are in line with the identity of a loose cultivator, not to eye-catching, not weak either.
......
Lu Chang'an's disguise is in line with the identity of a loose cultivator.
As the sun sets, fifty to sixty cultivators have gathered at the top of the mountain, and more than half of them are at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The False Pill Realist who was secretly scouting was located by Lu Chang'an because of his frequent use of divine sense.
It was a pleasant old man, wearing a navy blue tunic, mostly resting with his eyes closed.
Lu Changan suspected that this person was a cultivator from the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce.
As he watched, the night was approaching.
Some of the cultivators are restless and uneasy.
After all, most of the cultivators present who went to the Jing Country were seeking refuge or fleeing, and lacked a sense of security.
"Arrived!"
A low cry rang out.
Whew!
The clouds overhead were expelled and the airflow surged like a tidal wave.
A fifty to sixty feet long blue spirit ship, haunted by formation aura, landed quickly from high altitude.
"Fellow Daoists, with the tokens in your hands, line up in order to enter the spirit ship."
Inside the spirit ship, a thick man's voice was heard, accompanied by the spirit pressure of the Pseudo-dan level.
"Those who disturb the order will be disqualified from boarding the ship."
Before the words left his mouth, the spirit ship landed on the top of the mountain at a height of ten feet, descending two inclined ladders.
At the entrance of one of the inclined ladders, four mid to late stage Foundation Establishment people with stern aura and wearing armor were guarding the entrance, checking the credentials of those who boarded the ladder, and appeared to be the dart guards escorting the spirit ship.
The other diagonal ladder entrance was guarded by two beautiful Foundation Establishment female cultivators.
This passage is not open to ordinary cultivators.
"Mr. Wang, the upper class rooms on the third floor of the spirit ship have been prepared in advance for you."
Under the eyes of everyone, a golden-robed young man with an oily head and powdered face, escorted by the old hunchbacked servants and young maids on his left and right, climbed the ladder to the ship from this special passageway.
This scene attracted the sidelong glances of all the cultivators present. The token in the hands of the gold-robed teenager was not a white jade token, but a purple token!
"I wonder which big shot's descendant from the upper echelons of Liang?"
"For the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce to treat him like this, he must be at least a direct descendant of a True Dan cultivator."
All the cultivators present speculated in their hearts and felt resentment, but they didn't dare to show it.
Lu Chang'an looked around, that "Wang Gongzi" should have been disguised by a secret method, only the early stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation, but his age is only about 30 years old.
The beautiful girl following him is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The hunchbacked old servant is not a real person.
Lu Changan didn't dare to use his divine sense to probe easily.
Nowadays, the Immortal Cultivation War is sweeping through Liang.
Similarly, they are going to the neighboring country for refuge, but the bigwigs are given higher priority and enjoy far more treatment than the ordinary cultivators.
In addition to the golden-robed young man's Wang Gongzi, the entrance to that second inclined staircase was followed by several more groups of people going in.
As few as one person, as many as two or three.
Most of these people's tokens, mostly green-colored tokens, had exclusive staterooms after boarding the ship.
It is not hard to imagine that these people are either rich or wealthy, have great connections, or have abilities and skills that exceed those of ordinary cultivators.
One of them, a white-browed old man in the late Foundation Establishment stage, looked familiar to Lu Chang'an. He had seen him at the auction in Yellow Dragon Immortal City, and seemed to be a quasi-third-ranked weapon smith.
This kind of character, even if he went to a neighboring country, he would be treated as a guest by the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce.
......
Lu Chang'an went to Jing Country to seek for the completion of Dan, he didn't want other cultivators to know his whereabouts, so he didn't seek the help of the Royal Beast Zhou Family.
The secrets of the ancient ruins and the news of killing the Golden Sun Sect cultivators are all uncontrollable potential hidden dangers.
It may be missed sometime in the future.
Maybe it will be fine for the rest of his life and nothing will be done about it.
The killing of the Jinyang Sect's cultivator, Mu Jiu'an and the others will probably hide it, after all, it is a shameful scandal, and acting in the enemy's territory is inherently high-risk.
As for the ancient ruins, there are even more variables.
Before Lu Changan left, he handed over Liang Shaotian's female disciple to Fairy Shifu for disposal.
If Fairy Shifu kills Miss Wei, it will take some time for the Demon Sect to sense the death and find this relic in the Black Mist Mountain Range.
If you let Miss Wei go, it will take time to return to the Demon Sect without the specific memories of the ruins. This kind of ancient cave, relics, in the cultivation world will appear every once in a while, the importance of the leader of the magic sect is difficult to say.
In addition, the possibility of the two False Pill real people who died at that time leaking the news is very low, but it can not be absolutely ruled out.
Lu Chang'an had given Fairy Shi two suggestions on his way back from the ruins.
One, if you let Miss Wei go and make her swear a heart demonic oath.
Second, if you have the ability, destroy the formation at the center of the relic afterwards, so that the treasury space that was collapsing would break down faster.
The Master Fairy said that one would have to be at least a Third Order Formation Master, in a lineage, to attempt it, and without full certainty.
Lu Chang'an could not be sure what choice Fairy Shifu would make.
His personal attainments in formations are limited, and he doesn't have the ability to destroy the ancient formations in one fell swoop, and he also has to worry about the backlash of the formations' prohibitions.
......
"Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce? What is your name? Where are you from in Liang?"
After a long wait, it was Lu Chang'an's turn to board the ship.
A heavily armored man in the late stage of Foundation Establishment examined the jade tag and inquired.
After presenting the jade token, there will be a simple inquiry and identity registration.
For the sake of confidentiality, this token of introduction did not record Lu Changan's identity name.
It was quite common for cultivators to board the ship.
Most cultivators who went to Jing to seek refuge didn't want to expose their identity or were not seen in the light of day, so not many of them used their real names.
"My name is Wu Fan, from Yellow Dragon Immortal City."
It was just a formality to record the boarder's cultivation, name, and other basic information, even if it was false.
After the registration, a tall and thin Chamber of Commerce Foundation Establishment Cultivator took the five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, including Lu Chang'an, to the ship's accommodation.
"Fellow Daoists, due to the scarcity of staterooms on the spirit ship, I can only commission you to go to the cargo hold below." The tall and thin Chamber of Commerce cultivator said with an apologetic face.
"Cargo hold?"
The purple-faced strong man who traveled with Lu Changan looked embarrassed.
In order to purchase a transnational "ticket", most of the cultivators present had paid a favor, a large amount of spirit stones.
"Our Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce carries around a hundred cultivators from all races of the Merchant Alliance on each cross-country trip. Together with your country's guests, the guest rooms are naturally not enough."
The tall and thin Chamber of Commerce cultivator, smiled and said.
This person was only a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, facing Lu Changan's five people, he appeared calm and relaxed.
The Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce has more than one False Pill Realist in its spirit ship. There is also a powerful bodyguard group, as well as hundreds of cultivators from the Merchant Alliance camp.
Liang cultivators who enter this place disturb the order and are often expelled.
If they dare to make a move, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"This spirit ship, fifty to sixty feet long, has three floors on the deck. How can an ordinary single room not be enough?"
Lu Chang'an secretly wondered.
Not much longer.
Lu Chang'an's group of five people came to the gloomy cargo hold below deck.
At this time, the cargo hold had already been crowded into twenty to thirty cultivators, and the breaths of different cultivators were mixed together.
There were other cultivators brought in afterward.
Lu Chang'an frowned slightly, with so many cultivators crammed together in a public cabin, safety, privacy, and comfort were all in question.
"Fellow Daoists, if you are not satisfied with this place, there are still a small number of ordinary guest rooms up there. The rooms on the spirit ship can enjoy the cultivation environment of a second-order spirit vein even if you pass through an extinct spirit land on the way."
The tall and thin Chamber of Commerce cultivator lowered his voice and said.
Lu Chang'an and the purple-faced man looked at each other, the latter's face flushed with anger, took a deep breath, and finally did not attack.
......
A quarter of an hour later.
The spirit ship flew high into the air, and a cross-border journey began.
In the ordinary guest room on the first floor of the spirit ship.
Lu Changan made a pot of hot tea and sat in front of the desk, looking out the window at the endless sea of clouds.
At a cost of 3,000 spirit stones, Lu Chang'an left the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship in a terrible environment and stayed in a one-room stateroom of a dozen square feet.
Nearly half of the Liang cultivators are still crammed in the dark cargo hold below.
Three thousand spirit stones is not a small amount for the Foundation Stage.
The tickets cost 4,000 or 5,000 spirit stones in favors and money.
Most of the cultivators in the middle and early stages of Foundation Establishment have a cash flow of a few thousand spirit stones at their disposal.
When they arrive at the meeting point, they still have to deal with the law enforcers on the way, and if they are unlucky, they may even have to sell their magic weapons.
The ordinary Foundation Cultivators, before and after boarding the ship, are basically drained of their spirit stones. Some of them even bring their Qi refining juniors with them. If they were to move up to a stateroom, they would have to spend double the amount of spirit stones.
The reason is that only one cultivator is allowed to stay in an ordinary guest room.
The "Mr. Wang" stayed in the upper class room, which was a luxury suite.
"For the same journey, some people are going to take refuge, while others are going on a cross-country vacation."
Lu Changan took a sip of the hot tea, the fragrance was fragrant, and a warm feeling surged in his abdomen.
"Hm? The direction of the spirit ship's flight, how come it's heading north?"
Half a day later, Lu Chang'an came to the deck of the spirit ship and gazed at the landscape outside the formation's light ripples.
He sensed a special aura in the direction of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
According to the normal route, the spirit ship would go to the Jing Kingdom and head all the way to the west.
To the north, there is the Black Mist Mountain Range.
In fact, there is an even more dangerous route from Liang to Jing.
That is to go deeper into the Black Mist Mountain Range, make a big circle, and then go back south through the Jing Kingdom.
However, this path requires going deeper into the Black Mist Mountain Range, which is a long way to go and may lead to encounters with great demons.
In addition, in the outskirts of the mountain range, we also have to face the inspections of clan cultivators, the threat of robbing cultivators, and the unpredictable movements of the devil cultivators.
......
When Lu Chang'an became suspicious.
The huge spirit ship, close to the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountain Range, slowly hovered in front of a large river.
On the hillside of the riverbank, a second-rank spirit boat carrying a man and a woman flew to the spirit ship of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce. "A cultivator boarded the boat midway?"
On the spirit ship, both the Liang cultivators and the cultivators from the Jing Country's Merchant Alliance revealed a look of astonishment.
For the cultivators of the Jing State Merchant Alliance, usually only cultivators gather at a designated location and wait for the spirit ship together.
It is rare for a spirit ship to change direction in the middle of the journey and purposely pick up someone.
Cultivators from both countries looked at the two cultivators on the spirit boat with suspicion.
The driver of the spirit boat was a black-clad man in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
In the center of the spirit boat, there was a long-haired woman wearing a veil.
The long-haired female cultivator's veil isolated her body's aura, as well as the probing of her divine sense.
The two people who boarded the boat in the middle of the day were obviously not small, and the cultivators on the boat didn't dare to use their divine sense to probe easily.
"Both of you, please go to the guest room on the third floor."
Several management cultivators of the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce politely received the two on board.
Out of caution, Lu Changan didn't use his divine sense to probe hastily.
However, he only visually inspected the long-haired female cultivator's physique, and immediately felt that she looked familiar.
"This woman, how could she have boarded the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce's spirit ship?"
