Chapter 167 Crossing the North Sea Under a Disguised Name
——Thanks to Huadong Ershao and Tianluoqi for their rewards
Shi Xuan seized the opportunity, and a huge amount of true qi wrapped in the newly formed true qi vortex left Dantian and kept going up along the meridians. After so many years of body forging, tempering, and polishing the meridians day and night, they can fully withstand this pressure.
The true qi kept vibrating the acupoints, opening up one by one. Shi Xuan stopped in mid-air, and there was a faint crackling sound all over his body. It was not the crisp sound of joints, but a bit dull.
Six hours later, Shi Xuan just finished his work. This time, with the help of the right time, place and people, he had completely opened up the acupoints in his body. The total amount of true qi was hundreds of times that of the past. Other people's skills may not be so powerful, but for Shi Xuan, his true qi is so strong that he can fight with opponents of the same level for seven days and seven nights without taking pills to supplement. This is one of the differences between the ancient true teachings and general good skills.
The Wanxiang Wuying Sword has reached the 44th level, and it can be refined to the fifth level in less than two years. Unfortunately, in the world of cultivation, only in Tianhuomen, Sandao Sea, and Xihuang Land can you slowly select good magic weapons above the seventh level. In other seas and lands, these magic weapons are available, but they are not so abundant. If you are lucky, you can buy the one that suits you. If you are unlucky, there is nothing you can do. For example, Shi Xuan did not pick a suitable flying sword in the Nanman Continent, so he could only continue to use the Wanxiang Wuying Sword.
In fact, the Wanxiang Wuying Sword is very suitable for Shi Xuan in terms of both nature and quality, but Shi Xuan does not have the invisible divine iron, nor does he have a way to refine it again. Therefore, Shi Xuan plans to stay in the overseas countries for two years, first to stabilize his cultivation, second to see if there is a suitable flying sword, and third, if there is no suitable flying sword, he can also refine the Wanxiang Wuying Sword to the fifth level for temporary use.
Of course, this is not necessary. After all, in terms of attack, the Tai Chi diagram is more powerful and more handy. It's just that Shi Xuan has a good swordsmanship, but it's a bit of a waste without a good flying sword.
A few months ago, after the fifth level of the Soul-Baffled Banner was completed, new changes occurred. Each black light became six different shades of black light. Each time it was brushed out, it tore the soul, and at the same time carried six emotions of anger, sorrow, resentment, hatred, hatred, and greed. If the soul cultivators did not check for a while, they would also be deceived. And the Inverted Soul-Baffled Evil Qi Array was a little more advanced, and it was a rare large-scale magic weapon in Shi Xuan's hands.
…………
A year and a half later, Nanke Country.
Shi Xuan was walking on the street. During this period of time, Shi Xuan had traveled to dozens of countries in the north of the overseas countries, including the Zhengyan Country, which called a deer a horse and regarded the east as the west, the Wuyan Country, which believed that speaking was a disaster and would never speak unless it was absolutely necessary, the Night Crow Country, which was full of gloom, and was a crow at night and a human during the day, and the North Wind Country, where the north wind was howling and giant whales appeared all year round, etc., which made Shi Xuan indulge in his travel addiction.
Unfortunately, these were countries with few cultivators, and Shi Xuan did not find a good flying sword. Fortunately, his cultivation has stabilized, the Wanxiang Wuying Sword has also reached the fifth level, and crossing the North Sea is not mainly about fighting, so he is basically ready.
Shi Xuan came from Beifeng Country, and joined the Fan family fleet as a descendant of a ruined family who went to the North Pole to seek refuge. He planned to cross the North Sea incognito, reach the North Pole, and then visit Guanghan Sect to ask them what he could exchange for Wanzai Bingpoxin.
There are still many ordinary people in the North Sea where the Blood Demon Sect is located, and there are also many trade exchanges, because for the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, taking the essence and blood of ordinary people is far inferior to that of cultivators and monsters. After all, the first two realms of the Blood Demon Sect are no different from other sects in forging the body and nourishing qi. Only when you reach the out-of-body stage can you plunder the essence and blood. At the out-of-body stage, the essence and blood of ordinary people must be at least a hundred people to match a second-level monster. With this time, you would have killed several monsters long ago.
Although the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect are a little crazy, it is only in terms of their mentality. They are not fools in terms of IQ. It is better to let these ordinary people grow medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs, and raise domesticated monsters and spiritual beasts, so as not to waste their time for cultivation.
The most special thing about the North Sea is that there are very few other cultivators except the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect! One of the favorite tasks of the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect is to hunt cultivators in the sect's sea area! Therefore, Shi Xuanfang hid his cultivation and joined the fleet. Of course, if it were a few years ago, because the North Sea is very large, Shi Xuan would be invisible, carefully avoid patrols, and fly slowly, and it would not be impossible to pass through the North Sea.
But now Shi Xuan has been listed in the heart of the Blood River Patriarch. If he flies with true qi and magic tools, for cultivators below the Yuanshen, they may not be discovered, but in the eyes of the Blood River Patriarch, it is like a firefly in the dark night, so bright and outstanding. Even if the Blood River Patriarch respects his status and disdains to take action, and assigns a few disciples to chase and kill, Shi Xuan will have only one way to die.
As for why there was a fleet to the North Sea, the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect also needed medicinal herbs, spiritual herbs, and materials. Although many medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs can basically be grown in their own sects, secret realms, and small worlds, it would be a waste to use those precious places to grow ordinary medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs. And the most sold by the Fan family to the Blood Demon Sect is definitely not these, but the corpses of monsters!
Whether it is the Three Islands Sea, the Falling Star Sea, or the Ten Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Things, the monsters hunted by the cultivators, except for those that can be used as magic weapon materials or used for alchemy and peeled off and sold separately, the entire monster corpses are sold to the Fan Family Business, and then the Fan family sells these monster corpses containing countless essences and blood to the Blood Demon Sect.
The reason why other sects turned a blind eye was that these monster corpses were all below the Jindan level, which was useless to the high-level cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect. Moreover, if they were completely blocked, I am afraid that the madmen of the Blood Demon Sect would attack desperately. The major sects were unwilling to take the lead, so they acquiesced to the actions of the Fan family.
So the Fan family started this business across the North Sea. First, they sold the monster corpses, medicinal herbs, and materials to the Blood Demon Sect, and then bought several elixirs, magic tools, materials, and spiritual herbs unique to the Blood Demon Sect. Then they continued to move forward and reached the North Pole, selling these things to the Guanghan Sect disciples and casual cultivators on the Arctic continent, and purchasing the Arctic-specific spiritual herbs, materials, monster corpses, etc. from them, and then returned to the ship and did the previous things all over again.
After this trip, the Fan family made a lot of money. Of course, when passing through the North Sea, there was no cultivator in the Fan family fleet, only in the Arctic garrison, because the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect didn't care who you were. When they found a cultivator, they immediately rushed over and plundered all the blood.
The absence of cultivators did not hinder the safety of the Fan family fleet. The monsters in the North Sea had long been killed by the Blood Demon Sect, leaving only those in the deep sea, and occasionally they would float up to take a breath. There were definitely no casual cultivators who robbed the road, but it was not ruled out that the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect were possessed and killed themselves, but compared with the fleets in other seas, the safety and reliability were higher.
Shi Xuan spent a full ten low-grade spirit stones to join this huge fleet. After all, the Fan family could not always collect the monster corpses, medicinal materials, spiritual herbs, and materials for ten ships, so they sold the vacant cabins to those who needed to go to the Arctic but could not afford the spirit stones required for long-distance transmission.
"Brother Shi, why are you here so late?" This is He Ji, a seafarer in the cabin opposite Shi Xuan. He is a bearded man in his thirties, a strong man in the body-building realm, and this is his second time taking this sea route. This round trip, without any delay, would take nearly ten years of effort.
More than ten years ago, he was forced to leave his family and go to the Arctic. With his outstanding business talent, he earned a family business. This time he came back because he received news that the family members who forced him to leave were almost dead, so he took the teleportation array back to deal with the family property here. After that, he was reluctant to spend hundreds of low-grade spirit stones and would rather take a sea ship. Of course, he would not waste the cabin in vain. He brought some special goods that did not take up space, which were very valuable in the Arctic.
Shi Xuan hurriedly apologized: "Just now, there was a wind at lunch, and all the waiters and cooks were blown away, which delayed me for a while. I'm really sorry." Hiding your identity is definitely not playing alone, which is easy to be suspected, so Shi Xuan adjusted his state of mind and interacted with He Ji and others without hindrance.
Nanke Country is a very peculiar country. It is said that because of the strange formation formed by the surrounding land, the dead here can use the thoughts and memories of others to reappear in the world in the form of phantoms, but they have no intelligence and can only repeat the thoughts and memories of others. However, a phantom is not only a person's thoughts and memories, but many phantoms look like a living person when they are superimposed.
At the same time, because these phantoms can use some small magic such as the art of capturing objects, Nanke Country's restaurants, inns, and shops use them in large quantities. Anyway, only half of the wages need to be paid to their families. Of course, only those who were waiters before can continue to be waiters, and the same applies to others.
The only inconvenience is that when there is a strong wind or heavy rain, the phantoms will be lost, which is also the most interesting scene in Nanke Country. Shi Xuan went to eat just to see these.
"Haha, it's normal for Nanke Junior High School to encounter such a thing. Everyone understands. Anyway, the ship won't leave for a while." The one who was talking with a smile was another passenger, Cao Yuanze, who was visiting relatives in the North Pole. He was a tall and thin young man in his twenties, and he was in the same cabin with He Ji.
The one who lived in the cabin next to Shi Xuan was Zhou Chen, who was in his thirties, taciturn, and miserable. He also forced a smile when he heard it: "Well, it's okay, there's still time." He also brought a pair of children with him on this voyage, because according to a cultivator's inspection, they were said to have a talent for ice and cold skills, so he planned to take them to the North Pole to try their luck and see if they could enter Guanghan Sect.
The two children were twins, about four or five years old, one named Zhou Yi and the other named Zhou Ying. At this time, they were hiding behind Zhou Ji, blinking their innocent and lovely eyes at Shi Xuan.
"Okay, everyone is ready to get on board. We will go out to sea in half an hour." A steward of the Fan family shouted at the bow, and a cultivator next to him used magic to amplify his voice. These cultivators will leave before entering the North Sea.
