My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 451 - 181: Beast Taming Skill, Recruiting Disciples in the Immortal Realm

"Senior’s words make sense,"

After briefly weighing his options, Chen Sanshi decisively agreed.

Given the previous situation, he might not have survived if he had tried to escape from this person, and the other cultivators would not necessarily come to his rescue.

The most crucial point was...

He indeed had no grudges with this person.

The term "Demon" was merely a result of competing for the Spirit Vein.

And that was the most critical issue.

He wasn’t qualified to participate and had no intention of getting involved.

Therefore, he didn’t care about the dispute over the Spirit Vein.

"That’s more like it."

The voice inside the cabin became much calmer, "I like least of all to fight and kill. It’s all their doing; don’t let the title ’Demon’ scare you."

"I understand, I understand."

Chen Sanshi was being perfunctory and just wanted to leave.

"Where are you rushing off to? It’s been a dull journey for the old man. Now that I’ve made your acquaintance, why not come in and chat with me for a while?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi did not move hastily.

Behind him, Ning Xiang’s pupils emitted a pink spirit light.

"Ask your friend to stop, must you really force my hand?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi signaled for Ning Xiang to back off.

He could tell that the other party indeed had no intention of taking action; otherwise, they wouldn’t have wasted so much time talking. Thus, he remained cautious as he walked through the cabin door.

Inside the cabin,

An old man with white hair sat relaxed.

Next to him, a cultivator slept very peacefully.

The old man removed his mask, revealing an ordinary face: "Come, sit."

"I am Zhang Lai, nice to meet you, Senior."

Chen Sanshi sat down beside him.

"Hmm, I am Gui Qi,"

Gui Qi looked him over, "You’re unfamiliar. Are you a loose cultivator or a mundane person seeking immortality?"

"A person seeking immortality, from Da Xu,"

Chen Sanshi spoke in a standard Nan Xu accent.

"A person from Xu Country, eh~ I am from Daze Fang City,"

Gui Qi spoke somberly, "This ship will take ten days to reach its destination, so just wait."

With that,

The two fell into silence.

Gui Qi began to search the dead cultivator’s body, but after a long while found nothing, cursing under his breath, "These gluttonous creatures, probably left all their possessions in the Cultivation World before coming out; fighting them is truly a waste of effort."

"..."

Chen Sanshi didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

Apparently bored, Gui Qi threw the cultivator’s corpse into the sea and then took out a fishing line with a hook tied to a big hammer he had obtained the previous night and began fishing through the window.

The ship had already started moving; oddly, Chen Sanshi didn’t feel it until they were unable to see the dock anymore, by which point they had already entered the vast ocean.

On the massive walnut ship, almost no one spoke.

All the cultivators were meditating quietly, creating a particularly tranquil atmosphere.

Worried about attracting attention, Chen Sanshi didn’t dare show off his Middle-grade Spirit Stone and simply sat dry-eyed playing with Gui Qi for four or five days, watching the old man become increasingly irritable because he hadn’t caught a single fish despite several times nearly jumping into the sea to catch fish that leaped from the water.

Are all fishermen this easily frustrated?

It wasn’t until the sixth day

That Gui Qi finally caught a red fish as long as a forearm: "Come, let’s eat together."

The spiritual energy within this fish was similar to what he had seen at the inn that day; it was highly valuable. Chen Sanshi didn’t hesitate and ate half of the fish, then began his cultivation with the little spiritual energy he had gained.

By this time, the great ship had already entered a vast fog, thick enough on deck that visibility was nearly reduced to a few feet.

As the ship sailed, a golden boundary occasionally brightened its surface, with mysterious runes flowing on it that rubbed against the thick fog and emitted a piercing noise.

No wonder mundane people cannot venture far out at sea; without special means, this dense fog and man-eating beasts were indistinguishable.

"Lai Zi Daoist," Gui Qi leaned back in his seat, "I observe that your understanding of the Martial Arts Realm could easily grant you high office and great wealth, even among the mundane. Why then risk your life to venture to the ends of the earth?"

Chen Sanshi didn’t directly answer.

He just said, "Why talk about me, Senior? If your cultivation were to be placed among the mundane, I suppose no one could match you, yet you still oppose this entire ship of cultivators for a Spirit Vein, seeking to monopolize it."

"Monopolize the Spirit Vein?"

Gui Qi laughed softly, "When did I ever say that? It’s merely their speculation forced upon me. Besides, after the revival of the Spirit Vein, its coverage would be nearly equivalent to an entire mountain range. How could I alone protect it?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi was curious what exactly the other intended to do if not monopolize the vein.

But since they were not familiar, he felt it was not his place to keep inquiring.

Unexpectedly, Gui Qi said shockingly, "I seek the Spirit Vein to uproot and destroy it, to prevent further trouble."

"What did you say, Senior?"

Chen Sanshi was puzzled, "Why destroy a perfectly good Spirit Vein?"

According to Old Mo’s words, the revival of a Spirit Vein was a tremendously fortunate event. With a Spirit Vein, cultivators would have one more place to practice their cultivation. Destroying it would isolate this world even further.

Gui Qi, however, did not respond further.

Instead, he asked, "Lai Zi Daoist, would you stay and help me? Upon successful completion, you would certainly benefit."

"You jest, Senior."

Chen Sanshi hurriedly declined, "This junior’s cultivation is too meager; I fear I’m unqualified to participate in such matters, and even if I wanted to help, I lack the power."

He pondered.
