Cross-Border Spirit Ship

Liang Kingdom In the west, there is an important town for cultivating immortals, named "Bauhinia Immortal City".

This Immortal City is close to the Liang Kingdom border and has trade relations with the Jing Kingdom to the west.

Especially during the war, Merchant Alliance of the Jing Kingdom transported a large amount of war preparation materials and raw materials to the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World.

The current war is led by the Golden Sun Sect camp, which launches a self-defense counterattack against the Liang Kingdom. The actual strategic intention is to "migrate northward."

Chen Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, under a certain agreement, watched with cold eyes and did not intervene.

This day is half Moon Empress.

Bauhinia Immortal City North, a few hundred miles away among the mountains.

A middle-aged Foundation Establishment with a medium build and a round face and a yellow beard came out of the sky with his feet on Flying Boat.

"There are no patrolling sect monks near the assembly point? Jiuchen Merchant Association's energy is quite large."

Foundation Establishment is a middle-aged man with a round face, squinting his eyes and looking around.

The round face Foundation Establishment in front of me is the new identity disguised by Lan Chang'an through Hundred Illusion Mask.

He turned over his hand and took out a white jade tablet, and Divine Sense blended into it.

A sense came from the jade tablet, pointing to a steep mountain with dense forest hundreds of feet away.

Lan Chang'an hesitated for a moment, but did not enter rashly.

Whoosh!

There was a sound of cracking in the air from the back, and a Sha Qi very heavy Purple-Faced Strongman flew in with one arm wrapped in a bandage.

"You are also here to gather?"

Purple-Faced Strongman glanced at Lan Chang'an and also took out a white jade token.

"Hmm."

Lan Chang'an nodded, lagged a little behind, and followed Purple-Faced Strongman to fly to the steep mountain peak.

Bo!

Purple-Faced Strongman Holding the jade token in his hand, he broke through an invisible layer of cover Illusion Formation and entered the dense forest on the top of the mountain.

The so-called dense forest is actually Illusion Formation. There are not many trees on the mountain and it is bare.

In the middle, there are several large rocks with thirty or forty monks scattered among them.

There are men, women, old and young, mainly Foundation Establishment Realm.

Qi Refining Realm There are also some monks who are young and follow their elders.

"Is Jiuchen Merchant Association's receptionist monk here?"

Purple-Faced Strongman looks at the central area on the top of the mountain, holding fists.

However, no one responded to the monks on the top of the mountain. For a moment, they were quiet and silent.

"Haha..."

A group of monks gathered in the corner, and there was low laughter, which seemed to be sarcastic.

Purple-Faced Strongman looked gloomy and pressed down Sha Qi.

He smiled and talked to Lan Chang'an who came in with him.

"What do you call a fellow Daoist?"

"This is Wu Fan, an unknown Rogue Cultivator."

Lan Chang'an said casually.

Purple-Faced Strongman claimed that his surname was Fang, but did not say his identity.

Lan Chang'an Visual inspection: This person's injured body is Law Power pure, better than ordinary Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator, and his body Sha Qi is very heavy... Maybe he is a deserter on the front line.

Every time Cultivation War, there are many such monks, and they are often wanted by the sect. Once caught, the end will be tragic.

The two chatted casually, occasionally trying a word.

"As a gathering point, the monks from the Jiuchen Merchant Association never showed up. What do fellow Daoist Wu think of this?"

"The monks from the Jiuchen Merchant Association may not have arrived at the scene at all. They only need to come with Giant Spirit Warship to pick us up. In this way, even if an accident occurs, they do not have to bear the risk and will not leave any clues."

Lan Chang'an's opinion has no bright spots.

Purple-Faced Strongman's eyes flickered and he lowered his voice. "Jiuchen Merchant Association's monks may be mixed in the crowd and observe every monk who comes..."

"Maybe."

Lan Chang'an remained calm.

While the two were talking, he felt a vague Divine Sense lingering on himself and Purple-Faced Strongman.

That Divine Sense is a bit stronger than the ordinary Pseudo-Core True Person. It should be a monk who is good at detecting.

Purple-Faced Strongman's words attracted the attention of the False Core-level Divine Sense, who stayed on him for a moment or two.

Lan Chang'an's disguised identity, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and Law Power's aura are all consistent with Rogue Cultivator's identity. They are neither conspicuous nor weak.

Two hours later.

As the sun set, fifty or sixty monks gathered on the top of the mountain, more than half of whom were Foundation Establishment Realm.

Pseudo-Core True Person, who was secretly investigating, was found by Lan Chang'an because of his frequent use of Divine Sense.

It was a pleasant-looking Elderly Man, wearing a navy blue gown, with his eyes closed most of the time Spirit Nourishing.

Lan Chang'an suspects that this person is a monk from the Jiuchen Merchant Association.

Seeing it, night is approaching.

Some monks were restless and restless.

After all, most of the monks present went to the Jing Kingdom to seek refuge or escape and lacked a sense of security.

"We're here!"

A low cry sounded.

Phew!

The clouds above our heads were pushed away, and the air current surged like a tidal wave.

A five to sixty-foot-long blue Spirit Ship, lingering in the aura of the formation, quickly descended from high altitude.

"Fellow Daoists, with the tokens in your hands, line up one by one to enter Spirit Ship."

Inside Spirit Ship, a rich male voice came, accompanied by False Core level spiritual pressure.

"Those who disrupt order will be disqualified from boarding the ship."

Before he finished speaking, Spirit Ship dropped to a height of ten feet on the top of the mountain and lowered two inclined ladders.

One of the inclined ladder entrances was guarded by four Foundation Establishment with sharp auras and armors in the middle and late stages. They checked the tokens of the people who climbed the ladder. They seemed to be Escort Guard who was escorting Spirit Ship.

The entrance to the other inclined staircase is guarded by two beautiful female cultivators Foundation Establishment.

This passage is not open to ordinary monks.

"Young Master Wang, Spirit Ship The superior guest rooms on the third floor have been prepared for you in advance."

In full view of everyone, a young man in golden robe with oily hair and powdery face, supported by hunchbacked old servants and young maids on the left and right, boarded the ladder from this special passage to the ship.

This scene attracted the attention of all the cultivators present.

The token in the hand of the young man in golden robe is not a white jade token, but a purple token!

"I wonder if he is the descendant of some big shot in the upper echelons of the Liang Kingdom?"

"For the Jiuchen Merchant Association to be treated like this, he must at least be a direct descendant of the True Alchemy cultivator."

The practitioners present speculated that they were unhappy, but they did not dare to show it.

Lan Chang'an After a quick look, "Young Master Wang" should be disguised as Secret Method. He only has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Early Stage, but he is only about thirty years old.

The beautiful girl following is monk Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

The hunchbacked old servant couldn't tell the truth from the truth.

Lan Chang'an dare not use Divine Sense to inquire easily.

Now, Cultivation War is sweeping across the territory of the Liang Kingdom.

Also seeking refuge in a neighboring country, big shots have higher priority and enjoy far better treatment than ordinary monks.

In addition to the golden-robed boy Young Master Wang, several groups of people entered the second entrance of the inclined staircase.

As few as one person, as many as two or three people.

Most of these people's tokens are cyan tokens, and they all have exclusive guest rooms after boarding the ship.

It is not difficult to imagine that these people are either rich or noble, well-connected, or have abilities and skills beyond ordinary monks.

One of Foundation Establishment Late Stage's White-Browed Elder and Lan Chang'an looks familiar. He has seen it at Yellow Dragon Immortal City's auction. He seems to be a refiner of Quasi-Third-Order.

Such people, even if they go to neighboring countries, they will be treated as honored guests by the Jiuchen Merchant Association.

Lan Chang'an went to the Jing Kingdom and was bent on pursuing Golden Core Realm. He did not want other monks to know his whereabouts, so he did not ask Beast Taming Zhou Family for help.

The secret of Ancient Ruins and the news of the killing of monk Golden Sun Sect are all potential hidden dangers that cannot be controlled.

You may be remembered one day in the future.

Maybe it will be okay for the rest of my life and let it go.

The killing of monk Golden Sun Sect, Mu Jiuan and others are likely to conceal it. After all, it is a shameful scandal, and operating in an enemy country is inherently high-risk.

As for Ancient Ruins, there are more variables.

Before Lan Chang'an left, he handed over the female disciple of Liang Shaotian to Fairy Shi for disposal.

If Fairy Shi kills Miss Wei and Demonic Cult senses his death, it will take some time to find the remains of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

If Miss Wei is let go, it will take time to return to Demonic Cult, and there is no specific memory in the ruins. Such High Antiquity caves and ruins will appear in Cultivation World at regular intervals. It is difficult to say how much the Demonic Cult leader attaches importance to them.

In addition, the possibility of the two Pseudo-Core True Person who died at that time leaking information is very low, but it cannot be absolutely ruled out.

On the way back to the ruins, Lan Chang'an gave Fairy Shi two suggestions.

First, if Miss Wei is let go, it will be issued Heart Demon Oath.

Second, if you have the ability, destroy the formation in the center of the ruins afterwards to accelerate the destruction of the Treasure Vault Space that is collapsing.

Fairy Shi said that you must become at least a third-level array mage. Only if you are of the same lineage can you try it, but you are not completely sure.

Lan Chang'an is not sure what choice Fairy Shi will make.

His personal attainments in formations are limited, and he does not have the ability to destroy the High Antiquity formation in one fell swoop. He also has to worry about the backlash of the formation Restriction.

"New Moon Merchant Association recommended? What is your name? Where are you from the Liang Kingdom?"

After waiting for a long time, it was Lan Chang'an's turn to board the ship.

A heavily armored man Foundation Establishment Late Stage inspected the jade plaque and asked.

After showing the jade token, there will be a simple inquiry and identity registration.

For the sake of confidentiality, the identity of Lan Chang'an is not recorded on this recommended token.

This is quite common for monks boarding ships.

Most of the monks who went to the Jing Kingdom for refuge did not want to reveal their identity or be exposed to the public, and few used their real names.

"This is Wu Fan, from Yellow Dragon Immortal City."

It's just a formality, recording basic information such as the cultivation level and name of those who board the ship. It doesn't matter even if it's false information.

After registration, a tall and thin monk Foundation Establishment from the Chamber of Commerce took five Foundation Establishment monks, including Lan Chang'an, to the accommodation on the ship.

"Fellow Daoists, due to the scarcity of guest rooms on Spirit Ship, I can only force you to go to the cargo hold below."

The tall and thin monk from the Chamber of Commerce said with an apologetic expression.

"Cargo bay?"

Purple-Faced Strongman, who was walking with Lan Chang'an, looked embarrassed.

In order to buy cross-country "ship tickets", most of the monks present paid a large amount of favors, Spirit Stone.

"We, Jiuchen Merchant Association, carry around a hundred monks from all ethnic groups, Merchant Alliance, on every cross-border trip. Add in the guests from your country, and the guest rooms will naturally not be enough."

The tall and thin monk from the Chamber of Commerce said with a smile.

This person is just monk Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Facing the five people Lan Chang'an, he seems calm and composed.

Spirit Ship of the Jiuchen Merchant Association, more than one Pseudo-Core True Person is in charge. There is also the powerful Escort Guard Corps, and hundreds of monks from the Merchant Alliance camp.

Liang Kingdom monks who enter this place disturb the order and are frequently expelled.

If you dare to take action, the consequences will be disastrous.

"This Spirit Ship is five to sixty feet long, with three floors on the deck. How can an ordinary single room not be enough?"

Lan Chang'an thought secretly.

Not long after.

Lan Chang'an This group of five people came to the dark cargo hold below the deck.

At this time, twenty or thirty monks were crowded into the cargo hold, and the auras of different monks were mixed together.

Later, other monks were brought in.

Lan Chang'an frowned slightly. With so many monks crowded together in a public cabin, safety, privacy, and comfort were all issues.

"Fellow Daoists, if you are not satisfied with this place, there are a small number of ordinary guest rooms on it. The guest rooms on Spirit Ship can enjoy the cultivation environment of Second-Order Spiritual Vein even if you pass through the place of extraordinary spirits on the way."

The tall and thin merchant monk said in a low voice.

Lan Chang'an and Purple-Faced Strongman looked at each other, the latter had an angry look on his face, took a deep breath, and finally did not have an attack.

A quarter of an hour later.

Spirit Ship flies high into the sky, and a cross-border journey begins.

Spirit Ship In the ordinary guest room on the first floor.

Lan Chang'an made a pot of hot tea, sat in front of the desk, and looked out the window at the endless Cloud Sea.

At a cost of three thousand Spirit Stone, Lan Chang'an left the poor environment of the ship's bottom cargo hold and lived in a single room of more than ten square meters.

Nearly half of the Liang Kingdom monks were still crowded in the dark cargo hold below.

Three thousand Spirit Stone is not a small number for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Originally, buying the ferry ticket cost only favors and four to five thousand Spirit Stone.

Most Foundation Establishment monks in the early and middle stages have only a few thousand Spirit Stone "cash flow" available.

All the way to the meeting point, you still need to take care of the law enforcement monks on the way. If you are unlucky, you may even have to sell your Law Artifact.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment monks, before and after boarding the ship, are basically drained of Spirit Stone

Some of the Foundation Establishment monks are also accompanied by the Qi Refining Realm juniors. If you upgrade to a guest room, you will have to spend double Spirit Stone.

Because only one monk can stay in an ordinary guest room.

The superior room that "Young Master Wang" stayed in was a deluxe suite.

"The same journey, some people go to seek refuge, and some people go on a cross-border vacation."

Lan Chang'an took a sip of the hot tea. The fragrance was fragrant, and a feeling of warmth surged in his belly.

"Huh? Spirit Ship is flying in the direction of north."

Half a day later, Lan Chang'an came to the deck of Spirit Ship and stared at the scenery outside the formation.

He sensed the special aura from the direction of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

According to the normal route, go from Spirit Ship to the Jing Kingdom and go all the way west.

Northern Region, then Black Mist Mountain Range.

In fact, there is a more dangerous way from the Liang Kingdom to the Jing Kingdom.

That is to go deep into the Black Mist Mountain Range, make a big circle, and then go south back to the Jing Kingdom.

However, this path has to go deeper into the Black Mist Mountain Range. The journey is long and you may encounter a big demon.

Moreover, outside the mountain range, you have to face inspections by sect monks, threats from robbery cultivators, and the unpredictable Demonic Cult monks.

When Lan Chang'an becomes suspicious.

The huge Spirit Ship is close to the outside of the Black Mist Mountain Range, hovering slowly in front of a large river.

On the hillside on the river bank, a second-order Spirit Boat carried a man and a woman, flying to the Jiuchen Merchant Association's Spirit Ship.

"Are there any monks boarding the ship on the way?"

On Spirit Ship, both the monk Liang Kingdom and the monk Jing Kingdom Merchant Alliance showed expressions of surprise.

For the Jing Kingdom Merchant Alliance monks, usually only the monks gather at a designated place and wait for Spirit Ship together.

It was extremely rare for Spirit Ship to change direction midway and go out of his way to pick someone up.

The monks from the two countries looked at the two monks on Spirit Boat with suspicious eyes.

The driver of Spirit Boat is a man in black clothes Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

In the middle of Spirit Boat, a long-haired woman wearing a veil sits cross-legged.

The veil of the long-haired nun blocked the breath from her body and Divine Sense's investigation.

The two people who boarded the ship were obviously of high background, and the monks on the ship did not dare to use Divine Sense to investigate easily.

"Boy, please go to the guest room on the third floor."

Several management monks from the Jiuchen Merchant Association politely welcomed the two people on board.

Out of caution, Lan Chang'an did not use Divine Sense to investigate rashly.

However, he just visually inspected the figure of the long-haired female cultivator, and he suddenly felt familiar.

"How could this woman board the Spirit Ship of the Jiuchen Merchant Association?"
