Another day passed.
The ship could not carry much drinking water.
Because Qin Shaofeng had used up an entire barrel, then drunk heavily during the meal, Yang Zhen personally took the lead in having the pirates go an entire day without so much as a drop of water.
Of course, Qin Shaofeng merely learned of it and did not question anything.
According to Yang Zhen's report,
Qin Shaofeng learned that they were only half an hour's voyage away from North Peak Island.
Since he no longer had any suitable pills or other items on hand, he simply sat in the hall with the cabin doors thrown open.
The Qi siblings, Qi Ying and Qi Wei, Yang Zhen, and his son all stood close behind him.
Though those pirates were all among the pirates' upper ranks, they were clearly expert sailors, so there was no need for too many people.
Even after Qin Shaofeng's earlier purge, only nine ordinary pirates remained.
Yet only three of them were truly responsible for sailing.
It was said that one of them was even tasked with keeping a close watch on the sole surviving little thug.
Qin Shaofeng merely listened and gave it no further thought.
Sipping the hot tea in his cup,
Qin Shaofeng's gaze remained fixed on the scenery of the sea outside the cabin.
Yet his thoughts churned without end.
The pills that help those at the Heaven Star Position improve their bodies no longer have much effect on me. And as my cultivation rises, even Imperial Star Beast inner cores are apparently beginning to lose their effectiveness.
Once I reach North Water Island, it seems I'll have to obtain some heaven-defying Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure as soon as possible.
Or else purchase Venerable Rank Star Beast inner cores in bulk.
