Ascension Ceremony, Boundary Sea, Ship Ticket

"Junior Brother Xiao, why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Bright Flame True Person was a little surprised. "I have been planning for the past two days, and there will be an auspicious day in the middle of next month, just in time to help you organize Ascension Ceremony."

"With the reputation of junior brother, we invite Hezhou Cultivators too."

"Build a vigorous and unprecedented Grand Celebration!"

Of course, another important purpose of Ascension Ceremony is that Newly Advanced Golden Core can take this opportunity to collect a sum of Spirit Stone, thereby alleviating the financial constraints at hand.

Overdue, many monks had to go bankrupt or even go into debt in order to collect Golden Core Resources.

I don't have any extra funds on hand to collect materials to build Spirit Artifact.

However, Xiao Chen is a special case. Several Daoist friends from the Azure Flame Sect generously donated money, and he obtained a huge amount of Spirit Stone in one fell swoop.

It is even several times stronger than the other Golden Core True Person.

Moreover, if you want to make an appointment and gather everyone to come, it will take more than half a month at least, which may delay your rush to the Secret Realm.

Therefore, Xiao Chen thought about it and rejected the proposal, "I appreciate your kindness, senior brother."

"But let's forget about the ceremony. Now that the war is about to end, it's not appropriate to be extravagant and wasteful."

Bright Flame True Person blinked. "Junior brother's words are reasonable, then we can also do something that is not extravagant and wasteful."

"The main thing is to take this opportunity to show the outside world what our Li Fire Sect is like."

"In the past, many people in our sect He Province were not familiar with it. This is also a good opportunity to promote the sect's reputation."

Yun Xiang True Person heard this and nodded in agreement. "Junior Brother Mingyan This is indeed a good idea."

"Besides, now that Demonic Calamity has calmed down, we need a celebration to cheer up the disciples below."

"Can you be more flexible in terms of time and location? Isn't there any auspicious day this month?"

Bright Flame True Person suddenly understood. "Oh, look at my memory, the end of this month happens to be an auspicious day, how could I forget it?"

"For the convenience of He Province's friends, why not set the location at Great River Plain."

"It just so happens that the place is surrounded by mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful."

Great River Plain is located at the easternmost edge of Li Province. There is a big river nearby, a barren mountain and Gobi Desert next to the river.

Xiao Chen I feel like that place is not very good.

But Bright Flame True Person patted his chest and promised that he could raise a tall building from the ground in just two days.

As long as all the sect's building monks are mobilized to Great River Plain, the repairs of the Li Fire Sect and Azure Flame Mountain can be put aside first.

The two of them enthusiastically tried to persuade me to stay, and Xiao Chen refused again.

Anyway, it will only last four days until the end of the month, so there is no difference between these days.

And surprisingly, Six Great Families is also very supportive of this matter, and everyone is very positive.

The reason why it is Six Great Families is because Xiong Family on the Azure Flame Sect side and Yun Family on the Four Seas Sect side are included.

President Yun Jingxing of the Yunfan Merchant Guild actively cooperated with the Li Fire Sect to recruit Four Seas Sect disciples.

In particular, some cultivators who were already quite old but had relatively good talents were recruited under the name Yunfan Merchant Guild, but were replaced by Instructor sent by the Li Fire Sect.

Therefore, Yun Family was also accepted by Bright Flame True Person as one of his own in the form of Lineage.

Xiao Chen has not been idle these two days, reorganizing his Storage Bag.

Currently, he uses four Storage Bag to hold Spirit Stone and spiritual objects, and the other two are used to store Law Artifact and Spirit Artifact.

"Hey, why is there a pair of Spirit Turtle Egg?"

Halfway through cleaning up, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected the turtle egg. In fact, it couldn't be said that he had neglected it. The main reason was that he was busy forming pills at the time and really had no time to deal with this.

It's already July now, so the incubation period is probably over.

"This... why don't you eat it?"

In line with the principle of not wasting, Xiao Chen simply set up a big pot and made a boiled egg.

At the same time, he also found a pair of Overturning Pearl, which he was planning to upgrade to Spirit Eye Technique, but he never had time to practice.

This time, while waiting for the celebration, I can just review these Law Technique, which are rarely used.

"How to eat this? Should it be eaten raw?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while, "Forget it, I'll just go down and grab a fish and make a stew later."

Although this is the Overturning Pearl of the Red Beak Crane cub, one weighs a pound, so it is better to stew it with Spirit Fish.

So he ran to South Lake and came back directly with a 36-pound Crucian Carp.

Made a Turtle Egg Pearl Crucian Carp Soup.

This time it wasn't Body Refining, Xiao Chen wasn't in a hurry to devour it, but he was drinking it slowly with a small bowl and a spoon.

After one sip, your mouth is full of delicious flavor and it tastes really good.

And as the fish soup went down, his Illusion Breaking Spirit Eye also successfully advanced to the Lesser Accomplishment Realm.

Now he does not need to actively use Spirit Eye Technique. As long as he focuses his eyes, he can clearly see the direction of Spiritual Qi nearby.

"Dong dong dong!"

While Xiao Chen was drinking soup and lying in the yard to bask in the sun, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Siyue came in and reported, "True Person, Demon Subduing Hall has an emergency report."

"After investigation by the Spirit Origin Sect, Demon Subduing Hall Caretaker Ye Fei is secretly colluding with the Demonic Sect demon girl Han Zi Yan."

"When Spirit Origin Sect was arresting the demon girl, he helped Zhou to torture and injure Enforcement Squad. At present, the two of them have fled in the direction of Quanzhou. This is Wanted Notice sent by the Spirit Origin Sect."

As she spoke, she handed over a portrait.

Above are the busts of Ye Fei and Han Zi Yan, which are very well drawn and almost identical to True Person.

"In addition, it is said that there are loose cultivators at the border of He Province, who witnessed Miao Yuqing seedlings Inspector and Song Shengying Steward Song walking with Ye Fei."

She handed over the other two portraits. "Spirit Origin Sect please help us confirm the identities of the two people."

Song Shengying is the legitimate daughter of the Song Family, but she is not very old. It seems that she was only Foundation Establishment last year.

Xiao Chen glanced at the portrait. He only recognized Miao Yuqing, but he could basically guess that the information must be correct.

Tsk tsk tsk, what should I say?

"Transfer Wanted Notice to the Demon Subduing Hall. Well, just handle it according to normal regulations."

Since he ran away, just pretend that nothing happened. The normal solution is to hang Wanted Notice everywhere to show off. It is impossible to participate in the arrest across state lines.

Well, I wish Spirit Origin Sect good luck.

Xiao Chen Anyway, I plan to wait until the ceremony is completed the day after tomorrow, so I will hurry up and go Eastern Domain.

He actually went to ask Lin Ping'an if he wanted to go with Eastern Domain.

I heard that Eastern Domain is filled with numerous Secret Realms and ruins, large and small.

This guy is well versed in laws and prohibitions, and he might be able to help a lot.

Unfortunately, Lin Ping'an showed some resistance, and he didn't really want to leave Li Fire Sect.

"Uncle Xiao, my current strength is low and I have no ability to protect myself."

"If we encounter any danger on the road, we will only be delayed."

"I think I will practice in the sect for two more years and break through Late-stage Golden Core, so I don't plan to take risks outside."

When Late-stage Golden Core was mentioned, Lin Ping'an's expression was a little helpless.

Southern Region Spiritual Energy is insufficient and spiritual items are scarce. If Nascent Soul Formation wants to succeed, it has to leave Southern Domain to seek level-breaking resources.

.

Xiao Chen does not insist on this. He has Night's Edge himself, but Lin Ping'an does not.

There are many Golden Cores over there at Eastern Domain, and Nascent Soul True Lord or Fourth-Order Demonic Beast appear from time to time.

In case of danger, we really cannot guarantee the safety of the other party.

Besides, always counting on others is not a long-term solution.

Xiao Chen remembers that there is another book <Initial Understanding of Array Dao> in his Storage Bag.

Now that he has formed an elixir, he might as well practice the formation path at the same time.

It's a long, long road with high mountains and far rivers. It's just a chance to experience different mountain terrains and learn as you go.

In the blink of an eye, the day of Ascension Ceremony came.

Bright Flame True Person He really wasn't bragging. In just over three days, he built a ten-mile stretch of desert Long Street.

He also made small bridges and flowing water, and planted plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.

Li Province and He Province Almost all Foundation Establishment Cultivator and all Golden Core True Person came to participate in this unprecedented event.

Although in Demonic Calamity, many monks unfortunately died.

But after all, it brings together two states, and the total number of participants is still unprecedented.

"Hey, Daoist Qiu, Daoist Chang, why are you guys free to come over?"

It's normal for Chang Brothers to come, but if Xiao Chen remembers correctly, Qiu Family actively took over Demon Slayer Hall after the Pan Family fell.

Aren't they supposed to be busy catching Ye Fei at this time?

Qiu Qichen raised his hands and congratulated. "This time Ascension Ceremony is to celebrate Senior Xiao's arrival in the Golden Core Realm. How could the juniors miss such a crucial celebration."

"No matter how important things are, they have to be put off later."

In fact, he has been very close to Chang Shunping recently and is busy training Xu Earth Spirit Turtle.

Taking over Demon Slayer Hall is just to gain control of Enforcement Squad, not really for Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao.

Therefore, when it comes to arresting Ye Fei, Qiu Family has made positive slogans but has not put into actual actions.

After learning the time of the celebration, they immediately mobilized all their staff and rushed over to participate in the ceremony.

And as far as he knows, Yang Family has basically arrived, and currently there is basically no other action except sending couriers to spread Wanted Notice.

Good guy, Ascension Ceremony co-wrote this and helped attract the firepower.

Xiao Chen feels that Ye Fei has to remember his own favor.

A building Nine-Story Pavilion was built in the middle of the ceremony.

The auction is usually held downstairs, but this time Xiao Chen came upstairs.

I have to say that the scenery does feel better when standing up there.

At noon, a large number of monks who had arrived in advance also deliberately left.

Everyone flew into the air with their swords, thousands of Sword Light intertwined, and the excited Spiritual Qi even set off a small Spirit Tide.

Immediately afterwards, Three Great Sects took the lead in congratulating everyone.

"Spirit Origin Sect/Heaven's Secret Pavilion/Ten Thousand Flowers Valley/Thousand Bamboo Market, congratulations to Flame Dragon True Person for obtaining the Golden Core certificate!"

Because True Yang Fire Dragon was too shocking, the title Flame Dragon True Person replaced Wind Thunder True Person and became the title of most people.

It was officially confirmed at the ceremony today.

From now on, when the new Golden Core cultivator appears, this name can no longer be used.

When everyone talks about Flame Dragon True Person, they all know that they are referring to Xiao Chen.

This matter will be recorded in the sect ceremonies of each major sect, and will also be written by many Southern Domain monks in their own memoirs.

As long as these classics exist in the future, people will always remember this title.

According to past practice, every monk who came to congratulate gave a spiritual object worth no less than one thousand Spirit Stone as a congratulatory gift.

But this time, many Lineage deliberately increased the value of the gifts.

These items changed hands and were sent to auction.

After all, Xiao Chen doesn't plan to take a bunch of low-level spiritual objects on the road, so why not switch to Spirit Stone.

At the same time, he also dug out a few pieces from Storage Bag for auction, mainly Thousand-Year Sword Bamboo, two top-grade Flying Sword, six Foundation Establishment pills and six Southern China Yellow Bamboo.

In fact, he still has some unused Flame Light Spirit Sand in his hand.

However, I heard that specialty products like Spiritual Sand can be sold at a better price at Eastern Domain, so I plan to keep them for now.

During the auction, everything went as usual, but there was no disturbance.

Xiao Chen and the other Golden Core True Person chatted with each other about some rumors and anecdotes.

The last I heard was that it was Zhong Family from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, which gave the highest price in this auction - 88,888 yuan Spirit Stone!

"This number is quite auspicious. Congratulations to Flame Dragon Daoist for making a fortune in the future."

Thunder Sound True Person smiled and congratulated, and then the others followed suit and offered various congratulatory messages.

However, this time we did not discuss the specific auction items. It is not important to know what the items are just by listening to the numbers.

"Junior Brother Xiao, great news!"

After the ceremony, Bright Flame True Person came over excitedly. "You can't guess how many Spirit Stone were sold this time."

"A total of six hundred and sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six!"

"This means that junior brother, your next trip will definitely be smooth sailing."

Huh?

Xiao Chen was a little unconvinced. "Is it such a coincidence?"

Forget the first five eights, but these six sixes are a bit more deliberate.

"It's such a coincidence, I have a ledger."

Bright Flame True Person handed over a ledger, which contains the transaction records of this auction.

After Xiao Chen read each name, he noticed that the last few items were all taken by Hezhou Cultivators, and the result was really six sixes.

It can be said that this fake account was made with great care, and it even looks a bit real.

"Okay, then I'll borrow my senior brother's good words and enjoy my own happiness."

Xiao Chen didn't dig into the details, there was no need.

In order to carry so many Spirit Stone, he brought two more Storage Bag.

Now I really have eight bags tied around my waist.

Basically it hung in a circle.

Xiao Chen feels that his demand for Storage Ring has surged again.

There is no way to continue like this. It seems that the action plan needs to be adjusted.

When I arrived at Eastern Domain, the first thing I did was to inquire where to buy Storage Ring.

If the distance is not far, just buy one and replace it, and then go to the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.

Otherwise, if you go to the Secret Realm, you won't know where to put the removed spirit medicine.

Ascension Ceremony is over, Xiao Chen does not plan to return to Qi Yun Peak, but plans to go directly to Eastern Domain.

But before leaving, he saw Shen Siyue running over.

"True Person, Junior Sister Su asked me to give this sachet to you."

The workmanship of the sachet is average, although it is a little better than the previous Peace Knot, but it can also be seen that Su Wanqing should have embroidered it himself.

The front is the pattern of Carp Leaps Lotus, and the back is Heavenly Net Star in full bloom.

There are bulging spices inside. Holding Xiao Chen in your hand, you can vaguely smell a faint fragrance of Camellia.

"I just said why I haven't seen her recently. Do you know what she is busy with?"

"Back to True Person, Junior Sister Su was in seclusion at home before and said she wanted to concentrate on practicing. She said... If she doesn't succeed Golden Core, she will never leave seclusion."

From Southern Domain to Eastern Domain, there are millions of miles along the way.

When Xiao Chen passed by Fragrant River Market, he stopped and bought some Rolling Pearl Spirit Rice to take on the road.

"How much spiritual rice do fellow Daoists need?"

"There are all these in the bag. How many Spirit Stone are there in total?"

"Chenghui charges you one thousand two hundred yuan Spirit Stone."

"This is only four hundred pounds, right? Has the price increased?"

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand, prices are rising everywhere."

The shopkeeper quickly explained, "It's all that damn White Bone Demon Body's fault. I don't know how many acres of Spirit Field were wasted along the way. After selling this bag, we will be out of stock. There will be no more."

"Thanks to Flame Dragon True Person's timely action, Yan'an Granary was saved, otherwise it would have been sold out the day before yesterday."

Demonic Calamity is over, but for ordinary monks, the various subsequent impacts have just begun.

Xiao Chen paid Spirit Stone happily.

We didn't stop again along the way, almost traveling under the stars and at night. We only occasionally looked at the mountains and rivers along the way, and came directly to Hao Province, the easternmost part of Southern Domain.

I saw with my own eyes the east side of Hao Province and the endless Boundary Sea.

Standing here and looking out, it's hard to imagine that nearly a million miles away, there is a vaster world.

It is said that many monks in Ancient Times and Southern Domain also went to sea.

But after aimlessly exploring for hundreds of thousands of miles, they all thought that the land had reached its end, and that it would be all sea again.

And because there were countless Demon Beasts lurking in the sea among the Boundary Seas, harassing the Spirit Boats along the way, they all turned back.

The reason why monks need Spirit Boat to cross the sea is not to fly directly there.

It's because even Golden Core True Person cannot fly without sleep for a long time.

A day or two is fine, but a month or two is not to mention mental fatigue, even if the true energy in the body is not enough, you have to meditate and adjust your breath.

But Vast Boundary Sea, there is no place to stay.

You can only drive Spirit Boat before setting off, and protect Spirit Boat from damage along the way.

In the end, it was the monk from Eastern Domain who crossed over from the Boundary Sea to Southern Domain.

Ancient Books records that a fierce battle broke out between the two sides at the beginning.

But later the invaders discovered that Southern Region Spiritual Energy was insufficient and belonged to a barren land, so they voluntarily gave up the battle and started the initial transaction.

At the beginning, only the other party came, and only Golden Core True Person participated in the transaction.

But later Southern Domain also began to increase its efforts and take the initiative to explore.

It was soon discovered that a large Spirit Boat and a Small Spirit Boat attracted almost the same number of Demon Beast on the Boundary Sea.

If Golden Core cultivator wants to go to Eastern Domain, it needs to escort at least one Spirit Boat for him to rest on the way.

It is better to just buy more Foundation Establishment Cultivator on Spirit Boat, and you can still receive a sum of Spirit Stone.

Over millions of years, the relatively mature Trade Route gradually developed.

Now we only need to gather a ship of monks next to the Boundary Sea, and the monks from the Subduing Sea Sect will be responsible for escorting them.

Xiao Chen flew slowly along the seaside, with the salty sea breeze blowing in front of us.

The setting sun shines on the sparkling sea, and the golden brilliance reflects the deep blue water.

After walking less than three hundred miles, we saw the giant Spirit Boat parked at East Crossing Bay.

That Spirit Boat is a hundred feet long, almost occupying the entire East Crossing Bay, like a small island floating on the sea.

The surface of the ship's hull is covered with a faint aura, and it can be seen from a distance that every plank is of the highest quality Second-Order Spirit Wood.

Various buildings are scattered on the deck in an orderly manner.

There are both towering towers and low cabins, and there are two exquisite attics in the center.

In the middle of the attic there is a thirty-foot-high mast, shining with a faint blue light.

An extraordinarily huge Formation Flag hangs horizontally on the mast, with layers of runes on the flag flashing along a unique rhythm, as if it is breathing.

This is the giant Spirit Boat--Subduing Sea that is rumored to be able to carry thousands of people eastward at one time Boundary Sea.

It is said that the reason why it was called this name was because it meant to subjugate Boundary Sea.

However, the name is just a comfort, and the real effect is naturally the third-order Composite Great Formation loaded on Spirit Boat.

It consists of three Defensive Formation, one Entrapment Formation and a killing array.

Theoretically, if a blind Golden Core Demonic Beast attacks Spirit Boat, it can be killed just by relying on Composite Great Formation.

But in fact, it is definitely better not to encounter Demon Beast.

First, there are many Demon Beasts in the sea, and sometimes there are also groups of Tier 3 Demon Beasts appearing.

Secondly, you have to pay more.

Third-Order Array consumes a lot of Spirit Stone. Subduing Sea Sect will definitely not bear this money himself, but will need to share it equally with all passengers.

Of course, Spirit Stone will not be charged when you open the formation for the first time, but will only be charged if you open it multiple times later.

This is not because the first time is free, but because the ticket already includes an additional formation fee, which will not be refunded even if you don't encounter Demon Beast along the way.

"This fellow Daoist wants to cross eastward Boundary Sea?"

Seeing Xiao Chen flying along the coast, a Subduing Sea Sect monk immediately came to greet him, "How many Daoist friends are there in total?"

"There are not many places on the ship now, fellow Daoist..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

At first, they were several hundred feet apart, but as he shouted and approached, they were now less than a hundred feet apart.

However, he could not see the cultivation level of Xiao Chen.

Fan Hongyu narrowed his eyes and immediately changed his words: "This junior is too blind to see Taishan. I offended my senior. Please forgive me."

"I don't know what the seniors are doing here, but just give me orders and the juniors should do their best."

Xiao Chen glanced at him, good guy, he reacted very quickly.

"Are you Subduing Sea Sect monk? How much is a boat ticket Spirit Stone?"

"This junior is in charge of the Subduing Sea Sect. Now a boat ticket costs four thousand two hundred Spirit Stone."

Hiss, this is really not cheap.

This price is enough to buy two ordinary High-Grade Magic Tool. The ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator basically only has this little value.

If Foundation Establishment Early Stage were a casual cultivator, he might lose all his money and not be able to afford it.

And this is a one-way ticket, you need to issue it again when you come back.

Of course, some monks may not intend to come back.

And monks who are willing to travel back and forth will basically choose to resell spiritual objects to earn Spirit Stone.

Xiao Chen asked, "How many people are there now? How long until departure?"

Fan Hongyu answered honestly, "Two hundred and eighty-four tickets have been sold so far."

"If we gather 300 people before the end of the year, the ship will be dispatched on the 16th day of the first lunar month after the end of the year."

Xiao Chen was a little curious. "Oh? Will the ship be dispatched when the time is up and there are not enough people?"

Are you so kind?

Fan Hongyu explained, "To be honest, senior, in addition to sending people away, we also have to transport spiritual objects to the opposite side Golden Haze Sect, so we will set off when the time comes."

Xiao Chen nodded. "I want sixteen tickets, when is the fastest time I can leave?"

?

Fan Hongyu suddenly took a breath of cold air and his pupils shrank rapidly. That was 60,000 Spirit Stone.

This is not a senior, this is Golden Core True Person!

Even if it is Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, it is impossible to take 60,000 Spirit Stone as improper money.

No wonder the other party looks so young, that's why.

Fan Hongyu's waist couldn't help but bend another three points. "See True Person, my sect leader has ordered that Comrade Golden Core does not need a ticket to board the ship. Please True Person move to the Sea Suppression Pavilion to rest."

"Junior, go and inform my sect leader now."
