“In that case, it’s still acceptable.” f𝚛𝚎𝗲we𝗯𝗻ovel.𝐜om

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were very clear about the importance of Nascent Soul spiritual items for Golden Core cultivators.

“Come, come, come. Fellow Daoist Qi, continue to tell us what else you know in the the state of Tlancang.”

As Jiang Chengxuan raised his hand, a jade table suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

Immediately afterward, a teapot appeared on the jade table, from which wafted steaming vapors and a fragrant aroma.

Qi Wanlai, who had been looking for an excuse to leave, was immediately captivated by the fragrance.

Because at this moment, he could clearly feel that his divine sense, under the nourishment of the fragrance, seemed to have become slightly stronger.

What kind of tea was this?

Just the fragrance alone had such an extraordinary effect.

Drinking it might significantly strengthen his divine sense.

Before he could ponder further, Jiang Chengxuan pushed a cup of the brewed tea towards Qi Wanlai with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Qi, you can try my Spirit Strengthening Tea. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan made an inviting gesture to Qi Wanlai.

Seeing this, Qi Wanlai couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Instantly, an extremely cool sensation spread from his throat to his limbs and finally merged into his brow, noticeably strengthening his divine sense.

“This tea…”

Qi Wanlai suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan in surprise.

Then, without any further hesitation, he drank several sips in quick succession.

At this moment, Qi Wanlai could clearly feel that his divine sense was more than a level stronger than before.

What kind of tea was this? How could it have such a powerful effect on one’s divine sense?

“Hehe, how is it? This tea is pretty good, right?”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled as he filled Qi Wanlai’s cup again.

“If you like it, drink more.

I only hope that Fellow Daoist Qi won’t forget to tell us about the state of Tlancang.”

However, their actions naturally attracted the attention of others on the boat.

Two burly men, both late-stage Golden Core cultivators, suddenly turned their gaze towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“Oh no!”

Realizing the attention of the two burly men, Qi Wanlai, who was about to continue drinking the tea, suddenly looked a bit troubled.

He gave a wry smile to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and said,

“Fellow Daoists, you shouldn’t have taken out such a thing here.”

‘Well…’

Seeing that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t seem to care much, Qi

Wanlai communicated with them through a secret voice transmission.

“The two individuals we just saw are the Zhu brothers, well-known figures in our Hanhai oceanic region.

Zhu Beiyuan and Zhu Beihong.

Although they don’t appear to be much on the surface, those who know them are aware that behind the scenes, they are known as the ‘Kings of the Sea Hell.’

I think you can understand the implication.”

“Oh, is that so?”

However, the reaction of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan once again surprised Qi Wanlai.

It seemed they didn’t take his words, or the Zhu brothers, very seriously.

This made Qi Wanlai take a deep look at them.

He decided not to ponder on this and, instead, started discussing other information about the state of Tlancang as they requested.

According to Qi Wanlai, there would soon be a Nascent Soul-level Dao Discussion Conference in the state of Tlancang.

At that time, not only the Nascent Soul Perfected Lords from Changkong Holy Land and Wuheng Holy Land would attend, but also Nascent Soul Perfected Lords from other states.

Apart from that.

In a place called Moonlight City in the state of Tlancang, a large-scale auction was apparently going to be held.

As for what would be auctioned, it was not something that Qi Wanlai could know.

Besides these two pieces of news, Qi Wanlai shared other information with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, giving them a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the state of Tiancang.

“Gentlemen, do you mind if we sit here too?”

At this moment, the Zhu brothers, who had been glancing at them from time to time, suddenly approached Jiang Chengxuan and his group.

This change made Qi Wanlai, who was sitting opposite Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, visibly tense.

However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan continued drinking their tea as if nothing had happened.

This caused the Zhu brothers’ expressions to darken slightly.

Elder brother Zhu Beiyuan said, “You two, what’s the matter? Don’t you welcome us? Or do you have some issue with us?”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally turned to look at them. Jiang Chengxuan said, “Who are you that we should welcome you?

Are you Nascent Soul Perfected Lords or Soul Formation Heavenly Lords?”

Before the Zhu brothers could reply, Jiang Chengxuan continued,

“Since you are neither, you have no right to demand our attention.

Get lost.”

This blunt dismissal visibly darkened the Zhu brothers’ faces.

However, it was unclear if they refrained from taking action due to the rules on the ship or some other reason.

Surprisingly, the Zhu brothers did not react violently on the spot. Instead, they gave Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan a cold, deep look before turning away and leaving.

This left Qi Wanlai completely speechless.

He wondered where these two bold people had come from, speaking and acting so impulsively.

He decided it was best to keep his distance from them to avoid getting involved in their troubles.

Jiang Chengxuan seemed to notice Qi Wanlai’s thoughts and smiled at him, nodding in appreciation.

“Fellow Daoist Qi, thank you for the information you just provided.

It’s getting late, so if there’s nothing else, we shall take our leave.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan began to put away the items in front of him.

Qi Wanlai was relieved and promptly nodded with a smile.

“In that case, we’ll meet again next time.

I also have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”

After saying this, Qi Wanlai walked away in another direction.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, seeing this, didn’t say much and soon returned to their luxurious cabin.

From their current location to the state of Tlancang, it would take at least several months, even at the fastest speed.

During this time, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wouldn’t just stay in their cabin but would use their own ways to gather the information they needed from the people on the fleet.

As the fleet they were on was about to dock, the Zhu brothers, who had previously had a conflict with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, could no longer restrain themselves.

The younger brother, Zhu Beihong, said, “Brother, our fleet is about to dock. Should we make our move on them now, or wait until we’re ashore?

I’ve already asked around, and these two are definitely from the North or the Far East. They don’t know anything about our area.

Most importantly, everything they’ve taken out these days has been of high quality.

And that’s only what we’ve seen; who knows what else they have on them.

If we miss this opportunity, who knows how long it will be before we run into such people again.”

Zhu Beiyuan agreed with his brother’s sentiment.

Although targeting Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would inevitably involve some risk, if they could handle it cleanly and acquire some exceptional items from them, the risk would be worth it.

Zhu Beiyuan said,

“In that case, we’ll wait until we reach the shore before joining forces with everyone to attack.”
