They returned to the Chaotic Spirit Academy without any danger.
The sudden sense of security took everyone by surprise.
Only Jiu Bailu Mu Fusheng knew that they probably witnessed the battle between them and the Mechanism Academy, and how the Mo Clan held back... and then guessed that they had a close relationship with the Mo Clan, which is why they gave up on besieging and seizing the token.
Upon returning to the Chaotic Spirit Academy, he was naturally greeted and cheered by all the students and elders.
After all, the competition for these spots is incredibly difficult.
The Chaotic Spirit Academy emerged victorious, and as a member of the Chaotic Spirit Academy, I am naturally honored.
The dean also loudly announced that all the inheritance realms would be open free of charge for the next thirty days, without the need to pay any contribution points.
Meanwhile, the awards for the participating students are being arranged and will be publicly presented in seven days.
We returned to the Heaven Character Courtyard No. 1.
Mu Fusheng plopped down on the recliner.
At this moment, he finally understood why his master usually seemed so laid-back. This feeling of having his mind blank, doing nothing, and basking in the sun was truly wonderful...
But there's always someone who brings up the most sensitive topic. Shi Sheng said, "When should we Azure Firmament Academy? We still need to make some preparations."
Xiao Hei thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a bit longer. I haven't been to the bottom level of the Heaven Refining Tower yet. Let's clear all the useful inheritance secret realms here first."
Fang Qiong nodded and said, "Yes, the Formation Hall here has a very profound foundation, with many ancient arrays that I can refer to and learn from."
"Speaking of which... what about Senior Brother? Will we all return to the Mortal Realm together?"
Mu Fusheng said with his eyes closed, "Why don't we just contact him?"
Immediately, Fang Qiong took out his communication jade pendant and began contacting Ye Qiubai.
Fortunately, Ye Qiubai's voice soon appeared in the communication jade pendant.
"Senior Brother, where are you now?" Fang Qiong asked.
Ye Qiubai's voice came over, "This should be the Qingming Continent, the Qingming Sea."
The Qingming Continent can be described as a continent floating on the sea, with a very small land area, possibly less than half the size of the Heavenly Mystery Continent.
At the same time, the Qingming Continent is also composed of islands floating on the sea.
The Qingming Sea is a sea area located in the eastern part of the Qingming Continent.
"Huh? We've come all this way." Fang Qiong was taken aback, then asked at Mu Fusheng's prompting, "We've finished our business here, and we're preparing to return to the Mortal Realm. Where's Senior Brother?"
Ye Qiubai thought for a moment and replied, "If you're done, you can go back first. I'll finish up here and we'll talk later. But I'll definitely be back before the Six Realms Academy Grand Competition."
The transmission has ended.
Ye Qiubai put away the communication jade pendant.
A pretty young girl suddenly asked from the side, "Brother Ye, you haven't smiled in so long! Who are you talking to that makes you so happy?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai's smile faded, and he said, "My fellow disciple."
The pretty young girl nodded in realization, then bent down, tilted her head back, and looked up at Ye Qiubai's face, saying with a grin, "But Brother Ye is still very sunny and handsome when he smiles. He was so serious and focused before, he looked really aloof."
Ye Qiubai chuckled lightly but didn't reply. He got up and walked on the slightly swaying deck, making a creaking sound with his footsteps.
Then he pushed open the door, walked to the edge of the boat, looked at the boundless ocean with its rolling waves, took out the token engraved with the words " Azure Cloud ", and felt the aura emanating from it.
That's right.
Guided by the Azure Cloud Token, Ye Qiubai arrived at the Qingming Continent, where he had been drifting on the Qingming Sea for more than ten days.
When Ye Qiubai first arrived at the Qingming Sea, he discovered that the aura guided by the Azure Cloud Token was moving irregularly, so he had no choice but to board this ship.
The pretty young girl followed them over and looked at Ye Qiubai curiously, asking, "Brother Ye, I have a feeling you're looking for something."
Ye Qiubai smiled but did not answer.
The pretty young girl was about to ask more questions when she heard a burly man with bare arms shout from the bow of the boat, "Hey! Kid surnamed Ye, we've reached the fishing spot, come and help!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai walked over.
The Qingming Continent is characterized by numerous sea areas.
As the saying goes, those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water.
The main resources of the Qingming Continent come from the surrounding seas.
The resources are very special. One type is the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the seabed, and the other is the ancient relics on the seabed... Because of the frequent wars in the past, the excessive consumption of resources has led to the melting of the ice sheets and the continuous rise of the sea level, which has flooded a lot of land, resulting in the special situation of the Qingming Continent.
Finally, there's the most common and basic resource gathering method used by all factions on the Qingming Continent: fishing.
The fish of the Qingming Continent are not ordinary fish, but rather similar to Devil Beast, possessing magical cores within their bodies.
The magic core, blood, and even the skin of this fish are extremely useful.
Fishing spots are a term used in the Qingming Continent, referring to fishing locations in every sea area that may or may not be fixed.
Due to the unique nature of this sea, only those at the Divine Realm or above can fly; those below can only drift on its surface using these sea-going vessels.
The fishing boat that Ye Qiubai boarded belonged to a mid-level power in a city called Jade Qilin City.
The price was that Ye Qiubai used the price of black slaves to help them fish, and each time they only received one hundred Primordial Stone... Yes, that's right, the kind of Primordial Stone with impurities.
However, this didn't matter to Ye Qiubai, as he still had plenty of Flawless Primordial Stone from previous missions.
The main reason is that, in situations where air travel is impossible, only these special seagoing vessels can float on this sea area.
Why can't Ye Qiubai buy his own ship?
Because each seagoing vessel can be customized, the project and the time required are at least ten days.
Ordinary weapons couldn't withstand the onslaught of those Devil Beast and the raging waves of the sea...
Otherwise, the only option is to gamble on whether any finished products will be available for sale at auctions.
Of course, very few people would sell such a thing; it's a necessity for ships on the Qingming Continent.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Ye Qiubai's job didn't require him to kill the demonic fish himself. It was only after the demonic fish were killed by the others on the ship that people like Ye Qiubai needed to catch the dead demonic fish, dissect them, and keep all the useful parts.
If Lu Changsheng and Mu Fusheng were here, they would probably be extremely gratified.
They've finally learned to keep a low profile.
In the past, they probably would have directly taken up the job of hunting and killing the demon fish!
As Ye Qiubai and the others picked up the huge fishing net and stood ready, the burly man with bare arms roared, "Brothers, this fishing spot was hard-won! The catch is reliable, and those Devil Beast above the God Emperor level almost never appear here. Alright, everyone, let's get to work!"
