My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 444 - 179: The Southern Realm Attacked by Rebel Army, Qian Xun’s Spirit Opening_6

"I hear he’s a Martial Artist."

Zhang Shun said with a look of reverence, "Whether he’s a Martial Artist from the Cultivation World or the mortal world, I’m not sure, but the Immortals are both issuing a bounty for him and yet hiding from him. You must be careful because it’s said that this demon is ruthless and brutal."

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Sansi stood up and looked at the completely silent big ship: "This..."

"We may not have much, but we do have plenty of ships. I’ll send someone to get you a better vessel right away."

Zhang Shun pounded his chest and said, "And the dead man, you don’t need to worry about him; he wasn’t one of ours anyway. Since you’re carrying Master Jia’s name, I’ll make sure it’s explained properly."

The tumult had come to an end.

Half a day later.

They had switched to a new ship and after several days of travel, they finally docked ashore.

This place was within the borders of Nan Xu.

"My lord!"

Qin Changxu said, "From here, heading southeast, lies an isolated and desolate land. There’s no use for us to follow. We’ll wait in the nearest small city and make preparations for your return."

The men sent by the Governor Mansion did not know the mission was to seek Immortals, only that it was a secret assignment.

They asked no further questions and abided by strict protocol.

Moreover, they were brave and loyal, just as the soldiers from Po Yang were to Chen Sansi.

"Thank you all for accompanying us on this journey!"

Chen Sansi made a deep bow, "When I return to Liangzhou, I’ll find a chance to treat you all well."

"Why stand on such ceremony, my lord?"

Qin Changxu replied, "Though we’re no longer in the military, we still serve under the Governor Mansion, so it is only right to carry out our orders. Until next time!"

"Until next time!"

"Qian Xun, let’s go!"

Chen Sansi called out.

"Coming!"

Since there was a mutual understanding.

He even hallucinated a bit, as if Qian Xun was actually speaking human words.

During the time on the ship, Qian Xun was looked after by a dedicated person, and when the ship sank, it leapt onto a small boat on its own. As long as it wasn’t specifically targeted, there was usually no need to be overly concerned.

But actually...

This trip...

Chen Sansi’s original intention was not to bring it along because he was heading to the fabled Immortal Realm and wasn’t sure of his own safety, let alone a warhorse, which seemed quite risky.

Yet Qian Xun was very excited about the prospect, creating a fuss several times when initially left behind, and after repeatedly assuring that it wouldn’t be a burden, it was finally brought along. Perhaps it could also prove to be useful.

Just at that moment...

The system panel flickered.

[Skill: Horse Control (Great Success)]

[Progress: 0]

[Utility: ..., Spirit Opening]

[Spirit Opening: Humans have Spirit Roots, beasts have spirit apertures. Humans can enter the Immortal Path by opening their Spirit Roots, and beasts can too, by opening their spirit apertures.]

"?"

"Clip-clop!"

Qian Xun stamped its hooves arrogantly raising its head.

"You want to cultivate to become an Immortal too?"

Chen Sansi stroked its mane, momentarily uncertain whether it was the effect of the panel or if Qian Xun was inherently extraordinary, or perhaps both?

He tried taking out a Spirit Stone: "Can you use this?"

Then he saw wisps of Spiritual Energy flow from the stone into Qian Xun’s body.

Chen Sansi quickly pocketed the Spirit Stone again.

He only had seven in total, and he couldn’t afford to use them up just yet...

"This horse is no ordinary beast, but it’s probably not a Divine Beast either," Ning Xiang analyzed. "From what I’ve seen in records, Divine Beasts usually have distinctive features, but being able to cultivate is definitely a good thing."

"Let’s set off."

Chen Sansi mounted Qian Xun.

Ning Xiang and the other followed behind.

So far, besides Chen Yunxi, Qian Xun seemed to only allow that girl to ride it.

But since Ning Xiang and others possessed Martial Arts skills and used light body Magic Skills to slow their pace, they were able to keep up.

The party of three.

Wandered along the mountain wilds, stopping now and then.

The further south they went, the more humid the air became, and eventually, it felt like there was a mist on their faces. After passing several mountain peaks over the next several days...

A small town appeared before them.

This was the last inhabited place before reaching the coast.

Nanling Town.

The town was small, but it had everything one needed: inns, restaurants, teahouses...

Because it was close to the sea.

One could smell the briny scent of the sea from afar.

After crossing the boundary marker of "Nanling Town," there were stalls selling seafood on both sides, and the prices were quite reasonable.

Da Xu had a coastline.

Depending on the mountains and waters for sustenance, seafood was something neither Qing Country nor Dasheng had, making it part of the local cultural experience.

Before coming here.

Ning Xiang and Zhaozhao had changed into simple Nan Xu clothing in advance. Without needing Chen Sansi’s instruction, they proactively went to scout information through the streets and alleyways, and then they learnt...

There was an Immortal here.

"Of course, it’s true!"

An old man said, "I saw it with my own eyes; that night there was an Immortal riding a Treasure Sword flying through the sky!"

"There are demons too!"

"You come from the Prefecture City?"

"You’re not also here to seek an audience with the Immortal, are you?"

"I’ll tell you, there’s not just an Immortal, but a demon too!"

"Before, an Immortal died right at the entrance to our town!"

"Over there, you can see the demon’s bounty!"

"..."

"Reward!"

Disguised as another person, Chen Sansi tossed out a piece of silver.

He noticed.

Throughout the street there were many High Realm Martial Artists from Nan Xu.

They were dressed as constables from the local government office, but in such a remote place, Refining Internal would be the limit. How could there be so many above Hua Jin... even Mysterious Phenomenon-level practitioners?

Obviously.

Nan Xu must have become aware of the commotion here and covertly sent people over.

This journey...

Originally, Chen Sansi was seeking the entrance to the Immortal Realm, but upon arriving here, the "Immortals" seemed to be flocking to the "mortal world," which suggested that something major must be happening here.

There was also the demon who killed the Immortal, wanted by the Nan Xu government.

He continued walking along the street and soon saw the bounty at the vegetable market entrance.

There was a portrait on it.
