Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"
True Person Xu then said, "Thank you all for your help this time, young friends."
Da da da!
Several young Daoist disciples emerged from a side hall, each carrying a Storage Bag, which they placed on a tray and presented to the five people.
" True Person... this is?"
Zhao Shiyong asked with a smile.
True Person Xu said, "My young friends have gone through a lot to come here. Please accept this small token of our appreciation."
Unexpectedly, none of them stood on ceremony; instead, they carefully accepted the gift and thanked the Golden Core True Person once more.
Seeing that everyone had accepted the gifts, True Person Xu stroked his beard and said, "I have important matters to discuss with the True Person of your two families, and I may have to stay on Dazhi Great Arrival Island for several more days."
True Person Yuchen looked at his two juniors and said, "If you two have anything to do, you may return to the sect first."
"You may also take a trip in the nearby waters. Once we have finished discussing the important matters, I will send a message to both of you."
Chen Shuangbai, Fu Qianlan, and Wei Zheng also looked towards their True Person, True Person Mei nodded slightly and said nothing. Instead, he raised his hand and waved his hand, sending three pure white Law Power into front of the three of them, which condensed into a pure white sword talisman.
True Person Mei's meaning is very clear.
Arrange your own itinerary, and if you encounter someone you cannot defeat, then unleash this sword talisman.
The three bowed deeply to indicate that they understood.
Chen Shuangbai was thinking to himself: Perhaps the matter to be discussed next involves deeper issues, and it is inconvenient for us juniors to listen in.
The five men then bowed and took their leave.
After they left the palace...
Zhao Shiyong and his junior sister bid farewell to Chen Shuangbai, saying, "Brother Chen, my junior sister and I have some matters to attend to within the sect, so we must take our leave now."
"Brother Dao, if you ever come to the Zhao Kingdom in the future, you must come and find me so that I can fulfill my duty as your host!"
Chen Shuangbai responded with a smile, and the two rode away in the light.
Chen Shuangbai then looked at Fu Qianlan and Wei Zheng and asked, "You two... do you have anywhere to go?"
Wei Zheng raised his hands, clasped them behind his head, and walked forward with a rather arrogant posture, saying as he went:
"My master has already made arrangements for me, so I won't be traveling with either of you."
That's all.
He patted the beast ring at his waist, and a rather ferocious-looking flying beast leaped out, jumped onto his back, and headed towards the vast ocean.
Only Fu Qianlan and Chen Shuangbai remained.
Fu Qianlan laughed and said, "I also have things to take care of, so I won't travel with you."
Chen Shuangbai nodded, not asking any further questions, assuming that True Person Mei had made arrangements for his friend.
Fu Qianlan smiled, raised her hand and pointed, a streak of bluish-white sword light flew out from her waist, enveloping her in the sword light as she flew towards the vast ocean.
She became a disciple of True Person Mei, a great master of the Golden Core swordsmanship, and naturally, she mastered Sword Escape Technique and the like.
Chen Shuangbai watched the group leave one after another without feeling disappointed. He simply shook his head, raised his hand, and patted the beast ring at his waist, summoning the Feiguang he had been holding back for a long time.
Since advancing to the Foundation Establishment, Chen Shuangbai's access to cultivation materials has increased dramatically, so he has taken better care of his two spirit pets.
Feiguang has now successfully reached the Qi Refining Perfection, and only needs one more opportunity to advance to Foundation Establishment.
Many disciples of the Jade Spring Sect now know about Feiguang's existence; this True Disciple Chen has a magnificent Snow-Plumed Eagle.
Chen Shuangbai also had her master examine the Feiguang carefully.
Yi Chongyue said, "Some demons exhibit signs of ancestral bloodline reversion; perhaps you, Snow-Plumed Eagle, are one of the lucky ones."
Chen Shuangbai disagreed.
He felt that the reason why Feiguang was able to easily break through the shackles of ordinary Snow-Plumed Eagle and grow to such a large size, and at the same time awaken the two bloodline Divine Ability of [ Sky Rending ] and [ Cloud Piercing ], was mostly related to the [ Moon Soul True Water ] that he often diluted with water for them to drink.
As soon as Feiguang was released, a high-pitched and clear cry came from its mouth. Its wings spread out, and its snow-white feathers gleamed with a metallic cold light in the sunlight. The golden pattern between its eyebrows became even more dazzling.
Chen Shuangbai chuckled and patted its iron-hard beak, released the Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch, stepped onto it, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go see the sea."
Feiguang let out another long cry, flapped its wings, stirred up a gust of wind, and soared into the sky.
Chen Shuangbai had no urgent business on this trip, and Feiguang had been confined in the mountains for the past few years and needed to release his energy, so he didn't let Fei Guang carry him.
A person and an eagle soar between the blue sea and sky, with a strong wind blowing in their face. Below them is the boundless blue ocean, dotted with islands of all sizes, like emeralds inlaid on blue silk.
Chen Shuangbai simply sat on the Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch, feeling the warm sea breeze on his face while probing his Divine Sense into the Storage Bag given to him by True Person Xu.
There wasn't anything particularly special inside, just some Spirit Stone and pills, but what Chen Shuangbai found most useful was a rather detailed sea map.
This document likely originated from the Immortal Market. It not only marks the major islands, shipping routes, dangerous sea areas, and common Demon Beast distribution areas, but also indicates some small and medium-sized markets and gathering places for Rogue Cultivator.
But the most crucial element is the eight brightly lit islands, each marked with the location of a different fairy city.
"No wonder this True Person has such skill in dealing with things..."
Chen Shuangbai sighed inwardly, then immersed his Divine Sense in the matter and quickly located the approximate location of the Jade Wave Immortal Market.
"Let's go check out this Immortal Market first and broaden our horizons."
Once Chen Shuangbai, she stopped thinking about anything and summoned her Feiguang to head towards the location of Jade Wave Immortal Market.
The Demon Beast in the sea are indeed very different from those on land.
Not only were they bizarre and varied—big and small, long and short, poisonous and non-poisonous—the battle itself broadened Chen Shuangbai considerably.
This day.
Chen Shuangbai and Feiguang landed on a remote island.
Chen Shuangbai flicked his finger, and a flame rose from the pile of wood in front of him. Feiguang in the shallow water not far away, then dove down and snatched a plump sea fish. As if to show off his achievement, he walked up to Chen Shuangbai and asked him to roast it for him to eat.
Chen Shuangbai couldn't persuade it otherwise, so she had to light another campfire.
He also released the Gray Ball.
This little Mushroom Demon has been rooted in the Lingxiu place of Sunken Jade Valley in the Jade Spring Sect for the past few years, and its growth is slower compared to Feiguang.
But now he has already reached the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.
However, these plant spirits are by nature slow to grow and cannot be rushed.
The spiritual atmosphere at sea is different from that inland. Gray Ball seemed to like it quite a bit, burying most of its body in the sand, its two black bean-sized eyes narrowed into slits.
Chen Shuangbai looked at the two spirit pets with a smile, feeling as if time had slowed down a little.
Suddenly, Chen Shuangbai's expression changed, and she looked towards the sea in the northeast direction.
In the distance, where the sky meets the sea, faint spiritual light flickers and waves of Law Power emanate, suggesting that cultivators are engaged in a battle.
