The second year.
Bighead took Chen Xun and Black Bull out to sea. The ocean was boundless, life and death both vast and uncertain.
Today.
Rumble!
Furious waves thundered along the shore of a certain island. A sea demon a hundred zhang long crashed to the ground. Bighead was badly wounded, yet he stared at the fallen sea demon with wild delight. Though his savings from many years were gone, he should be able to earn them back.
Not far away.
Chen Xun was opening something resembling a coconut for Black Bull. "Old Bull, try this. It tastes pretty good."
They reclined in rocking chairs, basking in the daylight, utterly at ease.
Black Bull immediately gave it a try, then looked at Chen Xun with utter disbelief written across his face.

Bighead looked into the distance, then looked at himself. His expression went blank. Better clean up the battlefield first...
They waited on the island for several days in a row.

The demon-hunting ship was exceptionally majestic, its hull covered in formation patterns as it rode the wind and cleaved the waves. Cultivators by the rail heard his voice and looked over.
"Heh, heading to Shanglu?"
"Yes, Senior. Could you give us a ride?"
"A Spirit Transformation Realm Azure-Scaled Sea Demon. Its body is badly damaged, though. Kid, why not sell it directly to me?"
"Of course, Senior, but we still need to go to Shanglu to trade for some cultivation materials."
"Come aboard!"
"Thank you, Senior."
Bighead looked delightedly toward the other side. "Senior Chen, Senior Bull, there's a ship."
"Let's go."
Without another word, Chen Xun waved
