Chapter 497 Sea Journey
Time passed and it was two months later.
Lanzhou, the entrance to the sea, Lanbei Port is located in a bay full of spiritual energy.
The waves hit the rocks on the shore, splashing countless crystal water splashes, and there was a faint flash of light in the water splash.
Around the port, huge fairy ships and spiritual boats are docked at the berths in an orderly manner. These fairy ships have strange shapes, and their hulls are made of precious spiritual wood and inlaid with various gems and charms that shine with mysterious light.
The bow of the ship is carved with majestic exotic beasts, as if they are ready to take off at any time.
On the pier, cultivators came and went. Some were dressed in gorgeous robes, holding magical instruments, and looked majestic; others were dressed in simple Taoist robes, with deep eyes and an otherworldly temperament. They are either waiting here to set off, or they have just returned, exchanging their experiences and experiences on their way to immortality.
In the sky at the port, immortals flying with swords flew across from time to time, leaving behind brilliant lines of light and shadow. The strongmen responsible for transporting the goods were extremely strong and easily carried the heavy spiritual minerals and magic weapons.
A prosperous scene, with people coming and going, will inevitably give rise to trade fairs. Therefore, in the corner of the port, many monks have set up stalls selling and shouting. The stalls are filled with strange and weird spiritual objects. The stall owners use unique The method shows the miraculous effects of items.
"Brother, how can I sell this nautical chart?"
Not long after, a young man stopped in front of a middle-aged monk's stall, grabbed a scroll on the stall, and asked in a deep voice.
This young man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth. His eyes are twinkling as if there are stars brewing in them. Not only is his appearance extremely handsome, but he looks fair and clean, revealing a spirit of energy. His facial features are well-defined, and his head is covered with green hair and a white jade crown. , wearing a blue and white robe blowing in the wind, he looked like a handsome young man.
It was Yu Changsheng who had dressed up again in Qiao Zhuang, but this time his appearance was changed to that of Li Minghan.
Although this place is no longer Wuzhou, with his fame and value, there must be a lot of people who know him, and he must be safe. After entering Lanzhou, he will reveal his true appearance. He changed into Li Minghan's appearance.
Leaving the Yunbo Desert and entering Lanzhou, I lurked carefully all the way, and finally arrived at the Lanzhou estuary without any danger.
"Navigation chart?"
The stall owner was stunned. Hearing this, he looked up at Yu Changsheng, smiled and said:
"Friend Dao, you are going to travel far. The price of these nautical charts will naturally vary depending on the scale. You have found the right person. In terms of navigation, Pindao is indeed rich. He has been to many sea areas and has a collection of nautical charts. the most."
"Well, really? Is there anything special about this? How is the price calculated?"
Yu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
"That's natural," the middle-aged stall owner nodded, stroking his beard and said with a smile, "If all you need is a navigation chart within a hundred miles, then you don't have to pay. I'll give it to you." "It's not worth much to make a good relationship."
The middle-aged stall owner chuckled, paused, and continued: "If it is a nautical chart with a range of thousands of miles, then I won't charge much, just a hundred spiritual stones. If it is larger, a nautical chart with a range of ten thousand miles, ten thousand The price of a piece of spiritual stone is worth it.”
"I just don't know where you are going, brother, and how big a nautical chart you need."
The middle-aged stall owner asked curiously.
"Hmm..." Yu Changsheng pondered, thought for a while and said, "I need a navigation chart that can lead directly to the North Sea. You can see what is suitable."
"Direct access to the North Sea?" As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged stall owner was stunned when he heard this. He blinked and took a deep look at Yu Changsheng, and said in surprise:
"You went to such a far place, fellow Taoist, are you kidding me?"
"Yes." Yu Changsheng nodded gently, his face calm.
"Is that so..." The middle-aged stall owner was surprised, thought for a moment, and said:
"The North Sea is far away from this journey. The changes in the sea along the way are complicated and the dangers are even more immeasurable. If fellow Taoist is confident about going there, I won't cheat you.
I have a nautical chart of the North Sea that I obtained from Wanbao Pavilion in my early years. Not only is it clearly marked with the sea conditions along the way, but it also has a clear explanation of some dangers and the customs and lands of the North Sea. It’s a one-price deal. Wan Ling Stone, how about selling it to you? "
After the middle-aged stall owner said this, he took out a jade tube from his storage bag and handed it to Yu Changsheng with a sincere tone and serious expression.
"Hmm..." Yu Changsheng pondered for a while, nodded briefly, took the jade tube, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the middle-aged stall owner, and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, one hundred thousand spirit stones, but this thing has to be reliable. If it's fake..."
Yu Changsheng paused, and quietly let out a trace of Zifu's aura, which landed on the middle-aged stall owner.
The middle-aged stall owner's body suddenly stiffened, his heart skipped a beat, a drop of sweat rolled down his forehead unconsciously, his face condensed into a ball, his eyes showed fear but he said confidently:
"Then I definitely don't dare to tease seniors. I swear on my life that everything on this map is true, and the pricing is honest. There is nothing hidden. Otherwise, it will definitely trigger the punishment of heaven, make me lose my soul, and I will die a good death."
The middle-aged stall owner broke into a cold sweat and said this.
"good."
Seeing this, Yu Changsheng waved his sleeves, took out a spiritual ticket worth 100,000 spiritual stones, took the jade tube, put it on his forehead and felt it for a while, then took a deep look at the middle-aged stall owner, Just turned around and left.
He had already checked the contents of the jade tube. It was indeed a large-scale navigation chart that went straight to the North Sea. Some of the annotations also looked authentic and reliable, so there should be no problem.
After a long time, watching Yu Changsheng's back as he left, the middle-aged stall owner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, exhaled a long breath, patted his chest, and his fluctuating emotions finally calmed down.
"A kid who looks so young has actually reached the realm of Purple Mansion. It's incredible, unbelievable. Is he the rare and outstanding son of a family?"
The middle-aged stall owner murmured, and a trace of relief appeared on his face unconsciously. Looking at the background of Yu Changsheng going away, his eyes were full of awe, which was difficult to conceal.
Although he was a casual cultivator, he had reached the realm of Golden Core by some chance in his early years. At that time, a trace of breath revealed by Yu Changsheng pressed on him, which immediately made his mind roar, and his sea of consciousness was shaking with shocking waves, as if the person in front of him was not a teenager, but an unfathomable flood beast.
Therefore, his title became Senior, after all, in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected.
The only explanation for him who had already reached the Golden Core Realm to have such a reaction and was terrified was that Yu Changsheng's cultivation was much higher than his, at least the Purple Mansion Realm.
This kind of existence, it is no less difficult to kill him than to kill an ant, so what he said in his fear was true, and he naturally did not dare to act rashly.
"Tsk..." Thinking of this, the middle-aged stall owner took a breath of cold air, and was even more shocked in his heart, "It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. Such a young boy actually has the Purple Mansion cultivation... However, speaking of it, such a person should not be unknown in Lanzhou, and he went to the North Sea without any trouble... Normal people would go there..."
The middle-aged stall owner muttered, his expression suddenly changed, as if he thought of something, and suddenly widened his eyes, a guess emerged in his heart.
"No, such a young Purple Mansion cultivator... Could it be him? If he left the South Region in such a hurry and went to the North Sea, then it would make sense..."
The middle-aged stall owner was silent for a long time, with thoughts circling in his mind, and a hint of heat appeared in his eyes. Then he thought of Yu Changsheng's last look, and the heat in his eyes extinguished, and he could only feel fortunate.
"Forget it, the opportunity of transformation is not something that a cultivator like me who is not even in the Purple Mansion can think about. Even if he is really Yu Changsheng, then at that time, I am afraid that I will have the life to take the opportunity, but not the life to use it. Both sides are behemoths. I'd better keep to myself and not think about anything."
The middle-aged stall owner was silent, and finally shook his head and chose to forget about it.
On the other hand, Yu Changsheng, who got the navigation chart, continued to purchase a lot of supplies.
In fact, beside such a large port, due to the close flow of people, commercial trade is naturally developed. In addition to these individual stalls, some chambers of commerce of continental civilization also stop by, such as the Wanbao Pavilion and Wanshou Tower mentioned by the middle-aged monk just now...
However, considering the sensitivity of his identity and the fact that there are not many people who need to go to the North Sea, in order to prevent suspicion from such a large force, Yu Changsheng still chose to buy a nautical chart from such an individual.
At this juncture, it is always a good thing to be cautious.
"The sea is vast, and there are many risks in the changing wind and clouds, and it is easy to get lost. With this nautical chart, I can save a lot of trouble."
Yu Changsheng thought, and after collecting many other materials, he returned to the dock.
There, a spiritual boat has been parked on a temporary berth at the dock. The spiritual boat is not big, ten meters long and about five meters wide. It looks like a roc, with wings spread out to fly and shining. There are mysterious patterns carved on the wall of the boat, which are combined with each other to form a magic circle.
Inside the spirit boat, there are strange gems with different functions embedded in it. The light is restrained, and the spiritual energy is lingering, turning into a light mist covering the boat. On both sides of the boat, there are movable splints, and inside there are unique turrets, which are the weapon system.
The waves are rippling, and the waves are beating, but they can't make the spirit boat deviate at all, but it is as solid as a rock, and it is immovable.
Although the size of the spirit boat cannot be compared with the huge ships of hundreds or thousands of feet docked in the deeper ports, it is small and exquisite, but the faint aura that flows out occasionally makes other ships nearby look sideways.
"The fourth-level magic array is engraved. I don't know whose treasure this spirit boat is. It's worth a lot of money."
"The boat body seems to be made of the bones of a fourth-level spirit beast. It's really luxurious. With this spirit boat, sailing on the sea, even some low-level sea beasts dare not approach, which can save a lot of trouble."
Some cultivators stopped to watch, looking at the spirit boat, and sighed in a low voice.
For people like them who often go to sea, a good spiritual boat can play a big role.
And this spiritual boat is naturally not Yu Changsheng's, but Wei Lao's.
There is only one ship that travels to the North Sea area a year, so it has been two months since the last ship left the North Sea area.
And Yu Changsheng naturally can't wait for the next giant ship, so E rented a port berth, paid some fees, and planned to go there by himself, so he needed to buy a nautical chart.
Now, Yu Changsheng has bought the nautical chart and other things he needs, and he jumped lightly, and stepped into the spiritual boat in the envious eyes of others. The protective cover of the spiritual boat was temporarily opened, and after Yu Changsheng was put in, it was immediately closed.
So that the scene inside the spiritual boat cannot be seen from the outside.
"Are you back? Did you get the nautical chart?"
On the splint of the spirit boat, Wei Laozheng was lying on the Taishi chair with a leisurely expression, gently crossing his legs. He noticed the movement, glanced at Yu Changsheng without looking back, and spoke.
The black turtle was held in his arms, his head curled up in the turtle shell and he slept soundly.
"Well, I got the navigation chart, so it should be fine."
Yu Changsheng nodded slightly and smiled.
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off. You go to Zhangtuo, and I'll continue to sleep for a while."
Mr. Wei stretched out and yawned, then continued to squint his eyes, lying on the Taishi chair and rocking leisurely, as if he was waving his hands away from the shopkeeper.
Yu Changsheng: "..."
Yu Changsheng shook his head, with a smile on his face, and returned to the cab. After skillfully activating a series of magic circles, the entire spirit boat swayed slightly and slowly drove out of the port.
The speed was slow at first. After leaving the port, it started to accelerate. Various formations enveloped the spirit boat and turned it into a protection. Waves of sea surged up and slapped the boat body. The spirit boat rode the wind and waves, running steadily at extremely high speeds. .
Looking down from a high altitude, the huge port surrounds the coastline. Spirit boats drive out of the port like swords, and thousands of sails leave the port, undulating on the blue sea like a spider web.
The spirit boat galloped, riding on the waves of the turbulent sea, and quickly headed towards the depths of the sea. After a while, the originally dense clouds quietly dispersed, revealing the long-lost sun.
The sun shines on the blue sea. The light is not strong. Instead, it is bright and gentle, gently smoothing the sea water. Between the sea and the sky, the spirit boat of Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao is gently swaying. The waves propel it forward.
The sea breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of rich aura, which is a bit richer than that on land, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally. On the plywood, Mr. Wei is lying on a chair and bathing in the skylight. The sea breeze blows every strand of hair, making him feel comfortable and happy. .
"The sun is just right, the breeze is gentle, and the journey is like a sea of stars. It's been so long since I've been in this world, and it's really time to go out and take a good look."
Not long after, Yu Changsheng walked out of the cab, and the sea breeze blew the bangs on his forehead. As his face changed, his true appearance was revealed. His eyes were deep, looking across the sea at the mainland behind him, and he said softly:
"Wuzhou, one day, I will come back for the rest of my life..." (End of Chapter)
