Downriver

"Splash!"

The sound of rushing water could be heard continuously from the river.

Night had fallen, and the bright moon had risen.

When reflected on the river, it casts a full moon in its image.

The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, which makes the surrounding stars appear somewhat dimmer.

Fang Zelin stood on the boat, looking up at the moon in the night sky, and taking the opportunity to observe the surrounding stars.

The surrounding stars are unobstructed, indicating that nothing major has happened.

"Young master, everything is ready. Would you like to rest for a while?"

Tianxi used her Law Technique to clean up the interior of the dilapidated ship.

Although it still looks old and worn, the inside is very clean.

"Those who cultivate the Tao can do without rest."

Fang Zelin shook his head and continued to look at the moon in the night sky.

From Tianxi's perspective, Fang Zelin's slender figure could be seen, appearing somewhat ethereal under the moonlight.

This made her heart flutter slightly.

"Young master, is there something wrong with the moon?"

"How could there be anything wrong with the moon? I was merely observing the stars to see the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty."

Fang Zelin replied.

He then sat down.

Looking at Tianxi in front of him, he pointed to the empty seat in front of him, "Sit."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Tianxi also sat down cross-legged in front of Fang Zelin.

"Your cultivation has been much easier than that of other demons. I've encountered many demons before, and their cultivation was fraught with difficulties."

Fang Zelin looked at Tianxi in front of him and said with a touch of emotion.

In comparison, Tianxi in front of him was indeed the fairy who cultivated most easily among all the fairies he had encountered.

Even the medicine apprentices took a thousand years to transform into human form.

But Tianxi had only been alive for about two hundred years before she took human form.

Such speed is indeed unmatched by any other fairy.

"Although he has taken human form, it is difficult for him to further improve his cultivation."

Hearing this, Tianxi couldn't help but sigh with a touch of emotion, her tone carrying a rather complex feeling.

She knows her own situation.

The faster the cultivation went before, the more painful it is now.

Her skills haven't improved at all in a long time.

Otherwise, she would have started cultivating recently.

"Don't rush into spiritual practice; first, carefully cultivate your State of Mind."

Fang Zelin remained noncommittal upon hearing this.

After spending these past few days together, he had come to see the other person's current predicament.

The reason why one's spiritual practice is difficult to improve is actually due to the other person's character.

How can one cultivate Dao Heart is unstable?

The other party was ultimately not as refined as the disciples of the Daoist Sect, who had undergone so much training and whose minds were unburdened.

Upon hearing this, Tianxi was slightly taken aback, but then overjoyed.

She had heard the young master say these words many times before.

She had been a bit slow-witted before, but after listening to her today, she finally understood.

This is her benefactor guiding her; the reason why her spiritual practice is difficult to improve is entirely due to her character.

Thinking of this, Tianxi was overjoyed.

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Master!"

Once she understood, Tianxi even changed how she addressed him.

Fang Zelin waved his hand.

He offered his advice only because he had observed that the other party had not done anything immoral or unethical over the years.

If the other party achieves success in their cultivation in the future and refrains from doing evil deeds, that would be a good thing.

Perhaps they can be of help when we encounter Devil Race again in the future.

The next day.

The sun rose over the river in the distance, and a slight breeze blew, bringing a touch of coolness.

Fang Zelin held up a magic seal, steering the small boat beneath his feet.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that driving the boat like that lacked soul, so he casually picked up the oar next to him.

But after Fang Zelin shook the boat a few times, he found that it stopped moving altogether.

Tianxi watched from the side, trying not to laugh.

"You know how to row?"

Fang Zelin looked at Tianxi beside him and asked a question.

Tianxi nodded. "Young master, there's a certain skill involved in using these oars; if an ordinary person doesn't understand it, they certainly can't row them properly."

As he spoke, he took the oar from Fang Zelin's hand and began to row.

On the vast river, countless boats are shuttling back and forth, some large boats coming from the opposite direction, and others large boats going downstream.

"What's with that small boat? Aren't they afraid of capsizing? Using such a small boat on this big river?"

As the sun rose, many crew members on large ships noticed the small boat on the river.

Great Qian has developed to its current state, large ships have largely replaced those used for sailing on the Yangtze River.

The main reason is that the river current is too turbulent, and many small boats are prone to accidents when they come here.

With large ships all around, this small boat stood out conspicuously.

"Hey, you guys on that boat, hurry up! Eagle Gorge is just ahead. If you go any further, you might capsize!"

"It just rained a few days ago, and the river ahead is even more turbulent; you can't make it!"

The people on the large ship looked at the small boat on the river and immediately shouted loudly at Fang Zelin on the small boat.

They've been running on this river for so long, they know the water very well.

Seeing Fang Zelin still on the small boat, they felt that he was not far from death.

Fang Zelin naturally heard the shouts. Upon hearing this, he stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to the people from a distance, saying, "Thank you all for your kindness, but my small boat is perfectly fine."

Fang Zelin's voice wasn't loud, but it reached the crew members' ears clearly, as if he were speaking right next to them.

The crew members were taken aback by this scene; the wind was strong on the river, how could the other party have managed to do it?

It was amazing that the sound could reach their ears.

I'd guess he's a martial arts expert?

The crew members were somewhat confused at this moment.

Just as they were pondering this, the perilous place far ahead was already right in front of them.

The small boat below, however, was advancing instead of retreating.

As if propelled by someone, the Xiao Xiao boat drifted to the front of their large ship in the blink of an eye.

Then it passed through Eagle Gorge ahead, executed a very beautiful drift, as if it were drifting, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Several crew members blinked in surprise at the sight, looking somewhat stunned.

Having been on the ship for so long, they had never seen anyone steer it to such a degree.

Also, who is this person rowing the boat?

How do you row this little boat until it feels like it's about to take flight?

How can this small boat, propelled by manpower, be faster than these large ships, propelled by sails?

"A little further ahead should be the ginkgo forest. I've heard that both banks are planted with ginkgo trees, and it's truly beautiful."

Fang Zelin sat at the front of the boat, poured himself a small glass of wine, and drank it alone.

Drifting downstream, the surrounding scenery is truly beautiful, offering a different feeling compared to the usual leisurely contemplation along the Yongding River.
