Senior Sister, She Succeeded
Jiang Zhuoxue immediately turned to look at Sang Ying, her eyes brightening slightly.
Although Jin Liner couldn't understand what the two were saying, she showed great interest just from Sang Ying's words.
Seeing the two faces suddenly close to hers, Sang Ying patiently explained her thoughts to them, "For the formation to work, it needs a large amount of Spiritual Qi. But we definitely can't do it on our own. Only by having the formation draw enough Spiritual Qi from other places can this problem be solved."
"The Teleportation Array has two ends. This end is somewhat damaged because it has been submerged in seawater for a long time, but the other end is in the Upper Realm and is probably still intact. As long as we can connect the two ends and make the Teleportation Array in this realm draw Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm in reverse, the problem that is very difficult for us can be solved by leveraging the higher concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Upper Realm."
Jiang Zhuoxue immediately said, "This is indeed a feasible method, but it will probably take us more time."
Jin Liner, who hadn't understood anything, chimed in, "What's wrong with taking some time? As long as your final goal can be achieved, a little time is nothing. As cultivators, can't you afford to waste time?"
The two exchanged a smile after hearing this. Although Jin Liner didn't understand formations, she had to admit that what she said was absolutely right.
They are all cultivators, possessing such a long history, why would they be afraid of wasting time on the Teleportation Array?
So, for the next few days, Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue stayed by the Teleportation Array, calculating and deducing from the complex patterns on it every day.
Jin Liner initially stayed by their side, but as she listened, she realized that while she could understand each other's words individually, she couldn't understand them when they were put together.
Over time, she went from arriving punctually every day to only occasionally checking in, simply to see if the two had starved to death.
Jin Liner looked through Sang Ying's discarded array diagrams again and found only a slight change. She asked curiously, "Your array diagrams don't seem to be that different. Why do you keep deducing them? Why not just choose one at random?"
"Senior, you don't know, but with formations, the slightest error can lead to disastrous consequences. Even the smallest modification can determine whether Jiang Zhuoxue and I will arrive at the Upper Realm unscathed or riddled with holes."
Jin Liner was startled by Sang Ying's explanation, and from then on, she never dared to ask any more questions about formations—she felt a headache just looking at them.
On the other side, Dong Fuzhu and the others, who were forced to leave by Sang Ying, agreed verbally, but were still worried about their senior sisters.
After discussing it, they decided to stay at sea and traveled almost the entire Endless Sea.
During this time, they encountered many crises, and several times powerful Demon Beast almost capsized their ship, but in the end, everyone was lucky enough to survive.
They hadn't forgotten the people of Blue-Green Village either, and their treasure ship frequently appeared in the waters near the Blue-Green Village, making the village chief and the others lament that their tears at parting had been shed in vain.
Zhang Ru'an's condition is gradually improving. When Lan Fusheng and the others last visited Blue-Green Village, he had already resumed his cultivation.
Thanks to Qian Wencong's private assistance, the Qian Household has already delivered all the compensation.
Those families affected all received new boats, much larger than their old ones, and in addition to the boats, each household received a compensation of one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone.
It is said that Qian Wencong originally wanted to help them ask for more, but the people of Blue-Green Village refused. In their view, having a brand-new fishing boat was already enough for them. Adding a hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone as compensation would be excessive.
As for the families where people died, each family received 500 high-grade Spirit Stone in compensation.
The old man didn't want a single Spirit Stone; he handed them directly to the village chief, asking him to keep them safe and leave them to the children of the remaining families.
If these children have good talent, let them cultivate. Once they have reached the Foundation Establishment, use these Spirit Stones to send them into a major sect.
The old man's greatest wish in life was to help Blue-Green Village escape its former poverty and backwardness.
Similarly, the Zhang Household also wanted to give back to the village.
They had previously sold the seafood they obtained from Dong Fuzhu for a considerable price, so half of the compensation sent by the Qian Household was given to the village chief by their fellow disciples, who indicated that the money could be used to subsidize those truly impoverished families.
The Zhang Household's actions also moved more than a dozen other families who had suffered hardship. They all donated half of their compensation, intending to use it, along with the compensation for the deceased, to take care of their relatives.
The old man lost his only son, but suddenly found himself with more than a dozen sons and daughters.
By the time Dong Fuzhu and the others learned of this news, the old man had already been taken back to these families several times.
Some families with more space want to keep the elderly in their homes to take care of them, but they always say Xin'er will not be able to find them when they come back.
However, everyone knows that for cultivators, possessing Spirit Root is already a great fortune; they have no afterlife.
After defeating another Tier 6 Bronze Armor Crab, the sea quickly returned to calm.
Since they had already caught several Bronze Armor Crab, Dong Fuzhu and the others did not intend to exterminate them all.
The crew quickly cleaned the deck and prepared to turn the boat around and head back to shore.
"When we get back this time, let's prepare to leave the Cloud Mulberry Realm." They've been adrift at sea for three months now, and during that time, their communication talismans haven't produced any response. They don't know what's happened to Sang Ying; their messages haven't received any reply.
The group actually wanted to stay a little longer, but with half a year almost up, they were afraid that if they delayed any longer, the sect leader would worry.
Red Lotus gathered the Beast God, with whom she had become quite familiar over the past three months, and asked, "Before we leave, should we go and take another look at the place where Senior Sister Sang and the others left?"
"I want to go! I want to see my sister!" Bai Ze immediately raised his paw.
It looked a bit fatter than before because everyone on the ship fed Bai Ze all the seafood they caught. This once majestic Beast God had been slowly fattened up like this.
Lan Fusheng finally made the decision. "Since everyone wants to go see it, let's go and take a look."
Moreover, if he were to leave like this, he would probably be unwilling to accept it.
The treasure ship immediately turned around, creating a splashing sound as it churned up white waves.
The treasure ship was fast, but they were still a step too late. Before the treasure ship could reach the spot where Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue had been dropped off, a column of water suddenly shot out from the eye-like spot in the sea, shooting straight up more than ten meters into the air!
Bai Kejin immediately shouted, "Turn the rudder! Reverse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the treasure ship began to move rapidly.
The water column was very powerful, and the water at the eye of the sea began to churn wildly, quickly forming a huge whirlpool.
If their treasure ship hadn't retreated quickly enough, they probably would have been swept away on the spot.
A surge of Spiritual Power leaked out from within, and an inexplicable force instantly passed through everyone's bodies.
At that moment, they all realized something.
"My senior sister succeeded."
