My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 450 - 180 Demon Slaying the Immortal, Spirit Vein Revival_6
The boat is not something one can simply board recklessly.
And then there’s the revival of spiritual energy...
It’s truly beyond comprehension.
If this place is where immortals gather due to the revival of spiritual energy, then what is the situation in Liangzhou?
And that ghost-faced demon, what does he want to do?
Accompanied by all these thoughts,
he returned to the inn and met with Ning Xiang, who had previously split up to gather information.
"Mr., I will be taking my leave first~"
At the front of the inn.
Ning Xiang was speaking with a young and handsome gentleman.
Not only that.
Where was Ning Xiang the usual courtesan, full of amorous allure? Her face was covered with a purple veil, and everything about her demeanor was exceptionally graceful, somewhat resembling a lady of great family, somehow through the light screen there showed a hint of ethereal beauty, adding a bit of a celestial air, truly giving off the aura of an immortal descending to the mortal world.
The young gentleman standing opposite her maintained completely proper etiquette, but his eyes could hardly conceal their fixed stare, and a sycophantic smile hung on his face, his lips seeming always ready to drool as he talked.
"Miss Ning Xiang, you, you must come, then we shall meet again!"
"Eh~"
He turned around and saw Chen Sansi "This person is..."
"Mr. Liu, this gentleman is my cousin,"
Ning Xiang gracefully moved closer to her "cousin": "I wonder if it might be possible..."
"Yes, of course!"
Mr. Liu cupped his hands and said, "If this Daoist is Miss Ning Xiang’s cousin, he is certainly also my friend. Tonight at midnight, just follow me onto the boat, the fare will be on me!"
"Sir, this is rather embarrassing."
Ning Xiang politely declined "I merely said it would be nice to have some company. It wouldn’t be right to have you pay."
"It doesn’t matter, just a few spirit stones!"
Mr. Liu patted his chest and said "It’s settled then, I must take my leave!"
With that, he hurriedly left.

"How about that, cousin~"
The moment they were back in the courtyard, Ning Xiang reverted to her flirtatious demeanor and, carrying a fragrant breeze, she leaned in close "I am still of some use, right? Everything’s taken care of."
Chen Sansi cautiously said "You didn’t use any illusion technique, did you?"
If that were the case, it was essentially akin to courting death.
This is no place like the mundane world.
Even if a cultivator were to fall for it, they might recover soon after, and then there would be trouble.
"I’m not that foolish,"
Ning Xiang retorted with feigned anger "Don’t worry, it was purely my charm. Even cultivators are just like that, it seems men, no matter where they go or what status they hold, are lustful creatures. Zhaozhao, pay close attention and learn."
"Mmm-hmm."
Zhaozhao nodded earnestly and vigorously.
"Alright then."
Chen Sansi found that just to inquire about some news had cost him two spirit stones.
Yet when it came to Ning Xiang, not only did it cost nothing, but someone even offered spirit stones voluntarily, and most importantly, he hadn’t managed to gain even the slightest verbal advantage, it was merely simple, normal communication.
Could that person be that foolish?
Well, better to exchange the information first.
After the exchange,
they concluded,
The old man named Mo had not spoken falsely.
This place was indeed about to experience the revival of spiritual energy. To reach the ends of the earth, one must travel via the cultivators’ boat.
If it were not a coincidence...
Had it been fifty years earlier, the difficulty of reaching the ends of the earth would have been a hundred times greater.
That evening.
The three of them had packed up and arrived at the dock precisely at midnight.
Here.
A large number of cultivators had already gathered.
"Daoist Zhang, you’re leaving too?"
"Let’s hurry, we’re just loose cultivators who came for the bounty; why should we stay and risk our lives?"
"Exactly, let those who should worry about the Spirit Vein worry about it."
"In this trip, I at least picked up two spiritual beasts."
"Hahaha! I fooled someone into trading a Treasure Fish for a pile of rocks!"
The cultivator who had used a Blinding Technique to purchase the Treasure Fish yesterday and then threatened Chen Sansi with martial power to not reveal it or bid fairly was also among them; Chen, however, noticed him and simply ignored him.
About half an hour later as the crowd waited,
a somewhat chubby cultivator on a flying sword came into view.
"Daoist Xu, you’re finally here; what are we waiting for? Let’s start the ship and get out of here."
"..."
Xu Youliang, looking at them, asked in a somewhat shrill voice, "My fellow Daoists are so eager to leave; are you sure you don’t want to wait a bit longer? Even just providing a clue about the vein spirit can earn you a large amount of spirit stones."
"It’s that we might earn big but might not live to spend it!"
"The cultivators who went after that demon yesterday ended up dead, five of them; who would dare continue the pursuit?"
"We cultivators are better off not getting involved in violence."
"Yes, indeed."
"..."
"Fine, have it your way then."
Suddenly, a miniature boat carved from walnut appeared in Xu Youliang’s palm and he hurled it into the sea where it flickered with spirit light in mid-air, and by the time it landed, it became a full-sized ship.
He glanced at everyone: "Old rules, one spirit stone per person."
"Me, I’ll do it!"
Mr. Liu hurried to take out a spirit stone.
"No need!"
Chen Sansi cut in front of Mr. Liu and paid three spirit stones.
It was enough to glean some information from this person’s mouth. If he used his spirit stones, who knew what kind of karma he’d be associated with later on.
"Daoist, you are indeed straightforward!"
"..."
Soon, everyone had paid their spirit stones.
And they still had to check identities before boarding the ship.
Chen Sansi’s mundane identity seeking immortality was clarified by Mo Zhu’s help, and he was able to board smoothly; the two spirit stones were, in the end, not spent in vain.
The environment inside the ship was very good, with each cultivator having their own small cabin.
He was one of the last to board, his location at the end of the lower deck. He was just finding a place to sit when he saw, through his Qi Observation Skill, a flash of Gang Qi from next door, followed immediately by the extinguishing of another’s spiritual energy.
"..."
Damn it!
Chen Sansi slowly mobilized the spiritual power within him, about to cast defensive magic while preparing to escape and raise an alarm to gather all the cultivators on the ship.
At the same time.
A voice rang out.
"Hmm~ how strange.
"The cultivators’ Investigation Skills can only detect spiritual energy, and I just specifically used martial Gang Qi to kill without making a sound; how could you have noticed that, boy?
"I have no quarrel with you and will not make a move against you."
"You also have no quarrel with me."
"Let’s not make a fuss. I’ll leave as soon as the ship docks."
"Let’s give each other a little convenience, shall we?"
