Volume 1: Red Lotus Temple Chapter 106: The Fleet

  Bai Qi and Zhan Bu looked at Zhu Guo. Bai Qi pointed at the jade bottle in her hand with his finger, asking: "What is this?"

  "Dragon's Blood."

  "When you arrive at the Divine State, will you distribute this dragon blood?"

  "I won't."

  "Hmm." Bai Qi and Zhan Bu turned around and went their separate ways, each busy with their own affairs.

  Zhu Guo grasped the jade bottle and hummed for a long time before saying, "What's with the divine aura? Wait until I refine the immortal pill, then one of you can have it."

  The dragon this time shifted, and it shifted out two million miles. Such a powerful creature has such a small gallbladder, which is also a wonder between heaven and earth. Bai Qi returned to his own space, and this time he was going to refine something related to the dragon.

  The dragon blood left by the Dragon King burst White's body, but his demon fairy body did not completely disappear, instead it was a mass of broken and tattered flesh and blood, which was finally rejected by the newly grown body.

  This lump of flesh and blood, Bai Qi couldn't bear to throw away, so he stored it in a mysterious and eerie space.

  Now, Bai Qi took out his own flesh and blood, and directly cast it into the Qin Huang Jinren that had been unsealed a bit, refining it together. This mass of flesh and blood also contained rich dragon blood, which was originally intended to absorb the dragon blood and evolve into a demon fairy body by Bai Qi's original body, although it failed, the dragon blood in this mass of flesh and blood had already been refined for most of it, and it was extremely rich.

  As soon as the flesh and blood came into contact with the Qin Emperor's golden body, a loud explosion of crimson flames was heard. The flesh and blood burrowed into the golden body, destroying its seals along the way, merging itself with the golden body.

  That white broken flesh merged with the golden man bit by bit, opening the seal of the Golden Emperor. The Qin Emperor's Golden Man jumped out of Bai Qi's demonic space, still wrapped in the Six Paths' demonic flames all over his body.

  Bai Qi looked at the golden man's appearance, and it was exactly the same as his own. Moreover, this golden man had no consciousness, as if he were a part of Bai Qi's own body. After some thought, Bai Qi still used his divine sense to plant a symbol seed within the golden man.

  The golden man stood there, with a hint of vitality in his expression. Bai Qi carefully examined him and found that the golden man's body had its own space, but it couldn't contain anything, only a chaotic breath.

  Bai Qi was still uneasy and didn't know how strong the golden man's combat power was. It seemed that the seal had not been completely lifted, and his size was similar to his own body. He released a Moon Wheel Sword Pill, which made a "ding" sound as it struck the top of the golden man's head. The sword pill jumped up high and was already damaged.

  Bai Qi was overjoyed, but the golden man's head didn't even have a mark on it, yet his own soldiers were shaken. From then on, slowly refining and cultivating it would be equivalent to having another self, if all twelve golden men could be refined like this, he would have twelve selves that were impervious to swords and guns.

  The Du'e Jin Zhou flew westward, hugging the sea surface, and this area was close to Yang Xuan. There were countless powerful demons, but the aura of the Du'e Jin Zhou was faint and imperceptible. Even if some powerful demon beasts discovered it, they would ignore it. The Du'e Jin Zhou had been traveling through the waves for nearly two months when a fleet suddenly appeared in front of it. With rich experience, it didn't dodge or hide, but instead let the Du'e Jin Zhou fall onto the sea surface.

  In the fleet, some ships had already discovered this small boat over 20 meters long and immediately sailed closer.

  Bai Qi didn't think it was a good time to continue practicing, so he went to the bow of the ship and saw that the opposing fleet was enormous, with nearly over 400 ships. These ships had Daoist artifacts, Buddhist relics, and some were even just precious treasures.

  Look at the flags on those ships, they are not all going in the same direction.

  A flying shark boat, similar in length to the Golden Ferry Boat, quickly arrived and stopped more than a hundred feet ahead of the Golden Ferry Boat. A tall, gray-robed man stood at the bow, shouting: "Which family's boats are these? Why aren't you flying your flags?"

  At this time, Zhang Bu walked forward and said: "We are people from Zhongzhou. Originally we wanted to go to Shen Zhou, but we were attacked by a hurricane, our fleet was scattered, and we have been drifting at sea for several years. If the fleet in front is from Shen Zhou, please take us in."

  The man in grey clothes bowed his head and consulted with the people around him, then shouted: "Let's send someone over to check it out."

  Spread out and allowed, he was on the golden boat of Du'e, there was nothing secret to say. A medium-grade law enforcement tool, in the eyes of the other party, was not worth plotting.

  That grey-robed big man personally jumped onto the Golden Ferry, took a simple look inside and out, only to see three Qi-refining cultivators, all of whom were only in the Nascent Soul stage, before relaxing and saying: "You are unaffiliated cultivators from Zhongzhou, I presume?"

  "Not bad."

  "I can take you to China, but you have to board our ship and help us fight if we encounter any battles."

  Zhan Bu smiled and said: "In a situation like ours, what can we help with?"

  "Hmph, this treasure of yours is a Buddhist artifact, it won't attract demonic beasts. Our fleet may be large, but we'll inevitably encounter battles. My young master will also need to protect the smaller ships around us, having more manpower is always better."

  "Since that's the case, I'll accept my fate." Zhan Bu said, putting away the Golden Ferry Boat and flying back to the Flying Shark Boat with the big man.

  Bai Qi and Zhu Guo followed behind, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were attendants of Zhang Zhu.

  Spread out the thoughts and details, making oneself look stronger than Bai Qi by a lot. In reality, among the three people, Bai Qi is actually the strongest one. If there's any unexpected event, this kind of misunderstanding would greatly increase their chances of survival.

  That big man didn't notice anything unusual, Bai Qi's appearance was that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and he had just recently advanced to this stage. Zhu Guo was about the same, while Zhan Bu was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had already been at this level for some time.

  That flying shark boat caught up with a hundred-foot-long ship, and the gray-clothed big man beckoned three people to go on board, whispering: "My young master has a good temper, but you shouldn't talk nonsense and offend him. This fleet is from the Fan family of Golden Turtle Island, and it's heading back to Divine State. Many small sects rely on this fleet to travel between major states, so if you have any special products from Central State, you can trade with my young master first, and he'll give you a better price."

  That big man didn't look fierce either, and he spoke in a gentle tone, making Bai Qi and the others feel a thread of safety.

  This divine state is indeed different from the central state, at least the transactions between cultivators are developed, and everyone has a business attitude. When there are many people, it's estimated that conflicts are rare, and transactions are the main focus.

  This is good, Alchemists can spend more time on cultivation.

  Bai Qi and the others followed the man in gray to the third floor of the ship, where there were glass windows all around, offering a view of the sea on all sides. The cabin was enormous, with many tables arranged in two rows, at the head of which sat a young nobleman, dressed in white, leaning against a long chair and playing with a pearl as big as a bowl.

  Memories of the Great Han, with Bai Qi and three others, arrived from the side to the upper seat. First, they reported to the white-clothed young master in front. The white-clothed young master glanced at them sideways, sizing up Bai Qi and the others. Bai Qi was fine, but Zhan Bu felt like he had been seen through from head to toe by the young master, and his heart chilled.

  But then the young man in white said: "A fallen person? Give him a seat next to you."

  This young man in white clothes has a proud and arrogant demeanor, but when he does things, he is very polite. Bai Qi can see that this young man is obviously a person who has formed the Golden Elixir, and his arrogance is normal. Moreover, the young man's face was not changed later, it can be seen that he is extremely young.

  Zhan Bu also understood this truth, and he bowed his head to thank the young master. Although his golden lotus boat was extraordinary, it wasn't entirely reliable in finding the Divine Continent in this place.

  Bai Qi and Zhu Guo also paid their respects to the white-clad young master. They made their bows, and below them several tens of tables fell silent, without a sound or murmur. After the gray-clad strongman had arranged the seats for Bai Qi and the others, the white-clad young master finally spoke: "I am Fan Wubing, the owner of this fleet. You come from Zhongzhou; do you have any special products from Zhongzhou?"

  The cultivators below began to whisper among themselves, and there were not a few loose cultivators from Zhongzhou to Shen Zhou. There would often be things that didn't exist in Shen Zhou. In their opinion, although the cultivators of Zhongzhou had average strength, they often had good items in hand.

  Zhan Bu and his two companions were well-prepared. Zhan Bu said, "Master Fan, I indeed brought some things from Zhongzhou, but what we want to exchange is not jade."

  Fan Gongzi waved his hand and smiled, "I know, I know, you all want to change your cultivation methods. The people of Zhongzhou are really strange, if it's a sect secret, that's fine, but even ordinary cultivation methods can't be bought. Alright, the three of you can leave your cultivation methods with me, we'll make the transaction here, and I won't let you lose out."

  Fan Gongzi is arrogant and self-important, but he is actually kind-hearted and diligent.

  Bai Qi didn't want to cause trouble, so he followed Zhan Bu and Zhu Guo, each of whom took out a few things.

  What was taken out was a piece of jade. When Fan Gongzi saw this piece of jade, he said directly: "This is Kun Jade, the quality is not bad, even if you are a Zhongzhou person, it's extremely difficult to collect with your identity. I'll take it, and later let you choose two from the 100 middle-level cultivation methods, both of which can be cultivated to the False Immortal level."

  Bai's heart stirred, a cultivation method that could reach the False Immortal level was indeed extremely precious. The Overcloud Sword he had cultivated in his early days could at most only reach the Nascent Soul stage. It seemed that this Fan Gongzi came from a wealthy and influential family, able to casually take out over a hundred such cultivation methods.

  Zhu Guo took out a dan medicine, Fan Gongzi looked at it and smiled: "Dingxiadan, it's indeed a good thing in Shenzhou, but I don't need it. If any of you want it, don't make a low offer. If it's lower than what I say, then forget about doing business."

  Zhu Guo Dao said: "Master Fan, what I want is a cultivation method that can reach the level of Earth Immortal. This Condensed Frost Dan, I have one bottle, with 36 pellets in total."

  Fan Gongzi's eyes lit up and he said: "Zhu Dao You, are you a Dan-refining master?"

  Zhu Guo Leng asked foolishly: "What is an alchemist?"

  She is naturally so, not pretending to be. Master Fan looked at her and said: "It's nothing, even if you are an alchemist, your level is a bit low. However, when you arrive in Shen Zhou, if you want to join any sect, you can come to my Fan family, I will give you a position one level higher."

  "Oh, so this thing..."

  "Which one of you wants it?" asked Master Fan.

  Among the hundreds of Qi-refining cultivators below, almost half of them made an offer, but in the end, it was a white-haired old Qi-refining cultivator who used a complete set of Dao methods to exchange for Zhu Guo's Congxian Dan.
