A hundred miles west of Pinghai County, Seaweed Town.
Because it is adjacent to the Eastern Sea, a large amount of edible seaweed grows in the shallow sea area around the town, hence the name.
Under the guidance of the reception staff, we got off the carriage and arrived at a spacious courtyard in Seaweed Town.
Although it is just a town, it has a large population and is quite lively.
The traffic coming and going Ma Long is not much inferior to the original Lin'an County City.
Obviously relying on the Eastern Sea, there are sea routes, which are indeed more prosperous than inland areas.
"Several adults, our base is at the seafood shop opposite. This yard is specially prepared for you. Mr. Leech is over there at Crimson Crystal Ore. The villain has sent the message and I think he will return soon. Please wait here for a while."
After the two Hidden Star Emissary Wei Lin Sheng people arranged Residence, they spoke respectfully.
"Okay, let's get down."
Lin Sheng glanced at the courtyard and nodded lightly.
Although this yard is not very luxurious, it is quite neat and spacious, and he is quite satisfied.
The two Hidden Star Emissary bowed before turning around and retreating.
On the other hand, Bai Can introduced to Lin Sheng.
"Leech is one of the Blazing Star Emissarys responsible for the East Sea Prefecture affairs. He is responsible for the task of mining Crimson Crystal Ore this time."
At this point Bai Can paused for a moment before continuing.
"This leech is very powerful. He can be ranked in the top ten among Blazing Star Emissary in the organization. He has late Divine Form stage's strength, but his temperament is not easy to deal with."
"Oh? Divine Form Seventh Transformation?"
Hearing what he said, Lin Sheng was a little surprised.
"No, it was the Seventh Transformation 20 years ago, and it broke through to Divine Form Eighth Transformation three years ago."
Bai Can shook his head and said.
"The person responsible for the gold mining task was Blazing Star Emissary, another Divine Form mid-stage, but after Lord Luo Yin's negotiation, he was replaced by leeches."
"That's it." Lin Sheng nodded slightly.
Luo Yin naturally did this to be on the safe side, lest he encounter any dangers during this mission that would be difficult to deal with.
"Divine Form Eighth Transformation..." Lin Sheng whispered to himself, and soon asked again.
The master of Divine Form Eighth Transformation is ranked in the top ten among Dark Star Blazing Star Emissary. From this point of view, the number of Blazing Star Emissary in Dark Star is probably much more than he imagined.
"To be among the top ten Blazing Star Emissarys, do you know how many Blazing Star Emissarys there are in the organization?"
"Well, there are 50 Blazing Star Emissarys in the organization. No, you are the 51st including Young Master. Among them, Divine Form realm's Blazing Star Emissarys have forty-three."
Bai Can thought for a while before replying.
"There are so many!?"
Although he had some guesses, after listening to it, Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel shocked.
Divine Form Martial Artist is definitely a high-level combat force in a big country like Northern Yan and Southern Qi.
Unexpectedly, there were more than forty people in Dark Star. This number was more than double what he had imagined. After all, Great Yan only had three or fifteen mansions. Even if there were two Blazing Star Emissarys in one mansion, there were only thirty people. What's more, as far as he knew, there was only one Blazing Star Emissary stationed in many Prefecture Citys.
More than forty Divine Form Martial Artist, plus five Dark Star Emissary, and two pavilion masters.
With such strength, it can be said that Dark Star is definitely the strongest force in Great Yan besides the official force. No wonder it can survive for many years in the face of such a behemoth as Great Yan Imperial Court.
As if he saw Lin Sheng, his heart was shocked. Jin Yang, who had been silent until now, suddenly opened his mouth to explain.
"Sir, are you surprised? In fact, in addition to each government, there are no less than five Blazing Star Emissary stationed in the main city of each province. In addition to the Blazing Star Emissary stationed in Great Capital, there are such a number."
"But Master, do you know how many masters of Divine Form realm there are among Northern Yan Imperial Court?"
Lin Sheng shook his head slightly.
He knew that Northern Yan Imperial Court was very strong and could single-handedly subjugate all the sects and families within the territory that had been passed down for many years, but he didn't know exactly how strong it was.
Hearing this, Jin Yang smiled on his face, but then he sighed and spoke slowly.
"According to the survey, there were nearly a hundred Divine Form Martial Artist among the Great Yan Imperial Court counted thirty years ago. This is just an approximate number. There are Divine Form Martial Artist who have never been seen among the Imperial Court. There are definitely many people in, and in the past 30 years, I don't know how many people in Great Yan Imperial Court have broken through Divine Form. After all, siphoning the entire Great Yan resources is not comparable to ordinary forces..."
"Nearly a hundred people..."
After hearing what he said, Lin Sheng looked shocked.
This is just the number on the surface. If you include Divine Form Martial Artist who is hiding in the dark, there may be dozens more people.
Just now, he was still surprised by the power of Dark Star, but now when he compares it with Great Yan Imperial Court, he is really a little disappointed. No wonder it can convince everyone. together
At this time, Bai Can on the side also sighed and continued with some emotion.
"In addition to Divine Form Martial Artist, there are 15 masters of Void Transformation from Great Yan Imperial Court, not counting King Zhao Hongzhang of Yan and Supreme Grandmaster."
"Supreme Grandmaster?"
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows.
He naturally knows the number one Great Yan Martial Way.
But this is the first time I heard the name Supreme Grandmaster.
"That's right, it's Supreme Grandmaster. Young Master, you should also know that once you reach the Void Transformation realm, you can be called a Grandmaster strong person. That's why it's called Void Transformation Grandmaster. There are also strong and weak Grandmasters."
Bai Can was explaining to Lin Sheng, and then an indifferent voice sounded from outside the hospital.
"Grandmaster Triple Layer One level is better than the other, and the three levels of perfection are half a step further. Although it has not crossed the threshold of Void Transformation, its cultivation has already participated in nature and transformed, which is far better than the ordinary Grandmaster. This state is Supreme Grandmaster..."
The sudden sound attracted the attention of several people in the courtyard.
The closed door of the courtyard opened, and a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a raincoat with slightly convex cheekbones stepped in.
There is a fishy smell of the ocean on his body, and he is obviously someone who often lives by the sea.
Seeing the visitor, Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the visitor looked ordinary, there was nothing special about him. He looked like a fisherman who relied on the sea to make his living.
But Lin Sheng felt a faint threat from it, just like the original Gongsun Yuanzhou. Even if it was not as good, it was not much different. He must be a master of late Divine Form stage.
"Brother Shui."
At this time, Bai Can already had a smile on his face, cupped his hands, and said.
Jin Yang on the side also gave up.
"Yeah."
The tall and thin man in the raincoat who faced the two people bowed his hands and bowed, just nodded slightly in response, and then his eyes fell directly on Lin Sheng. After looking up and down, his brows could not help but frown slightly.
Soon he came to Lin Sheng, his frown did not go away, but he still bowed.
"Eastern Sea Blazing Star Emissary Leech has met Mr. Ghost Face."
"I've seen Senior Leech." Lin Sheng also bowed slightly and spoke with a smile.
"Sir Ghost Face, if I read it correctly, your cultivation level seems to be only mid Blood Circulation stage."
Leech stood up, looked directly into Lin Sheng's eyes, and asked with a frown.
"Yes, I just broke through mid Blood Circulation stage on the way here." Lin Sheng replied with a smile.
"Brother Shui, Master, he just started practicing Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture not long ago, so his cultivation level has just reached Blood Circulation realm." Seeing Leech's expression, Bai Can on the side seemed to realize something and said quickly.
"Hmph, regardless of whether you have loose power or not, your current cultivation level is only Blood Circulation realm. One Blood Circulation is not enough for this mission." Leech glanced at Bai Can, snorted coldly, and looked directly at Lin Sheng again.
"Sir Ghost Face, the one whom Mr. Shui respects the most in the organization is Lord Divine Monarch. Since you are a disciple of Divine Lord, and in line with Lord Luo Yin's words, Mr. Shui will protect you Zhou Quan during this operation."
"However, this mission is not far from the front line. In addition, it has to enter the Southern Qi territory. The danger is unusual. To be on the safe side, just stay here. When the Crimson Crystal Ore mining is completed, Mr. Shui will transport it there. If there is anything over there at Southern Qi, Mr. Shui will bring it back and hand it over to you."
Leech's voice was calm and seemed to be discussing, and his tone indicated that the matter had been concluded and could not be refuted.
Hearing what the other party said, Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head slightly and smiled.
"Leech Blazing Star Emissary, this mission is based on the opinions of several Lord Dark Star Emissary. As the leader of this mission, how can Lin be justified if he does not personally lead the team? Southern Qi How do the people over there think of me Dark Star? So I understand Lin's good intentions."
"Huh!?"
Leech narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Sheng intently, his brows frowning more and more.
He naturally understands that what Lin Sheng said is reasonable, but in his opinion, a little face is not important, what is important is that people are fine.
The two people's eyes collided, and neither of them had any intention of giving in. The atmosphere in the courtyard gradually became stiff.
Bai Can and Jin Yang were anxious and wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere, but they didn't know what to say.
After a while, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Finally, Leech's frown slowly relaxed, he nodded expressionlessly, and the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated.
"Since Your Excellency Ghost Face has made up his mind, forget it. However, there will still be some time before the mining of Crimson Crystal Ore is completed. Mr. Shui hopes that you can think about it carefully."
"Of course." Lin Sheng raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and nodded.
"A few of us were tired from traveling, so Mr. Shui didn't bother us much. If you need any help, just ask for help. The mining over there at Crimson Crystal Ore is at a critical juncture. Mr. Shui can't leave for too long, so I resigned first."
After saying that, Leech seemed to have no interest in talking anymore, turned around and left the yard quickly, leaving only Lin Sheng and a few people.
Watching his figure go away, Bai Can quickly explained to Lin Sheng.
"Sir, don't mind. Leech has always had such a temper. He has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. Although he doesn't speak very nicely, he definitely doesn't have any malice at all, and he is quite responsible."
"I can tell, okay, I've been traveling for so many days in a row, let's rest first."
Lin Sheng nodded.
He could roughly tell a bit of this leech's temperament. He was a straight-forward person, but to put it crudely, he was not tactful enough and didn't know how to behave.
He didn't feel anything about what happened just now.
As for the other party's proposal, he was really moved.
If he hadn't known that this mission was somewhat special, he might have actually agreed.
Secluded Cultivation practices here and waits for the task to be completed.
Compared to tasks, he naturally prefers practice.
He stretched out his hand and played with an ink-colored stamp. One side had a star pattern printed on it, and the other side had several animal-shaped patterns that were entangled together and could not be named.
This is the stamp representing the seed genius of Dark Star, which was given to him by Bai Can on the road.
Bai Can was ordered by Divine Lord Li.
At the same time, he was also informed of the special nature of this mission.
The reason why this mission is led by various seeds is to Southern Qi.
In addition to showing sincerity to cooperate with Southern Qi for the first time, the most important reason is that you will get some benefits from Southern Qi.
It has quite a good effect on these seed geniuses.
If it weren't for these reasons, he really wouldn't mind leaving the task entirely to Leech.
He found a spacious room as a temporary residence. He didn't bring any luggage. The room was fully prepared and he could just move in directly.
Returning to the room, his eyes fell on Nong Yu who had been following behind.
Feeling the gaze falling, Nong Yu suddenly stiffened and lowered his head, his face a little rosy, and his two white jade hands pinched the corners of his clothes.
After Lin Sheng let her into the room, she already realized what was going to happen and left her baby brother in the care of Bai Can.
She had already made countless preparations in her mind, but being alone in the room with him at this moment still made her feel a little panicked.
Although she is already twenty years old, in this world where people leave the government at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she is already considered to be quite young.
But she has always been obsessed with martial arts and studying various sea beasts. When it comes to matters between men and women, she is still a blank slate.
Soon she suppressed the tension in her heart, her face showed determination, she raised her head and closed her eyes, grabbed her clothes and prepared...
"Do you know where those sea beasts that I mentioned to you before are found now?"
What he suddenly remembered made Nong Yu move for a moment, with a look of confusion on his face, as if he didn't react.
"Sea beast..."
"Well, the ones I asked you to write down on the carriage before." Lin Sheng Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the recliner and spoke calmly.
"Mr... Young Master, you mean, Aurora Jellyfish...Colorful Starfish those... slaves remember, slaves remember..."
Nong Yu reacted quickly and spoke incoherently.
Her face was already flushed, and at this moment she realized that she seemed to have thought wrong before.
"These sea beasts are not weak in strength, and they are expensive. Once discovered, there are basically dedicated beast hunters to hunt them. It is rare to see them at the Near Sea, but we did see them once on the merchant ship under the door half a month ago. Nightglow Jellyfish group, it is the mating season of Aurora Jellyfish, if there is Aurora Jellyfish nearby, it must not be far from Nightglow Jellyfish group."
"Oh? Where?" Lin Sheng asked.
"It was found on the border of East Sea Prefecture and Near Sea." Nong Yu lowered his head and replied softly.
"Do you know the exact location?"
"The Nightglow Jellyfish group will basically not be fixed in one location. If it is expected that the speed of wandering is not fast during the mating season, the slave is 70% sure that it can be found."
"Seventy percent, that's enough..."
