That day, Chen Mobai was in his seat, eyes closed, nurturing his thoughts and casting his spirit.
Suddenly, a violent shaking occurred, causing his body to sway uncontrollably. “What’s going on?”
All the cultivators on the ship rose, making their way to the windows.
“A group of Water Snake demonic beasts are attacking us. We could use your help.”
Two cultivators from the Liu family entered, speaking gravely to all.
Subsequently, they approached the Cultivators on board with the highest levels of Qi Cultivation, and in a moment, one was at Chen Mobai’s side.
“Brother Chen, would you be willing to help? We would reimburse your fare.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately nodded.
He understood the principles of shared glory and shared defeat.
If the ship capsized now, he was likely to find survival in the vast Cloud Dream marshes extremely difficult, and might be forced to flee back to the Immortal Gate.
Inside the cabin, twelve Qi Practitioners in the later stages of cultivation, ten of them, along with the Liu family cultivator, reached the deck.
Chen Mobai glanced at the two who didn’t come out, one seemed wounded, pale-faced. The other was He Qun, who had lost one hand, severely handicapped in battle, and could be said to be severely injured.
“Everyone, please stand on either side of the ship’s exterior. This Ice Breaking Ship is a joint product of Liu Jia Mountain and Shake Mountain Peak. It can withstand both magic attacks and physical attacks from demonic beasts but needs intermediate grade Spirit Stones to power its source. I only have a few left. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, we need to find an opportunity to repel or kill this group of demonic beasts.”
The lead Liu family cultivator on the ship was named Liu Yongnian, with a Qi Cultivation Level of nine layers.
After briefly explaining the situation, he immediately directed Chen Mobai and the other nine to their positions.
The mention of intermediate grade Spirit Stones surprised Chen Mobai.
In their normal trades at the Fang Market, they used low-grade Spirit Stones. To exchange for intermediate grade Spirit Stones, one would need a hundred low-grade ones.
All Spirit Stone Mines in the Eastern Wilderness were monopolized by the seven sects, and what flowed into the outside world were mostly lower-grade Spirit Stones. After all, these intermediate grade Spirit Stones are used by Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate Qi, and even the seven sects themselves found it insufficient.
The Liu family, indeed worthy of being one of the four major Immortal Cultivation families in Yun Country, managed to obtain intermediate grade Spirit Stones, although it’s also possible they were given when they bought the ship.
Realizing this, Chen Mobai understood why the ticket was so expensive, considering the significant investment the Liu family put into obtaining this ship.
Amid the humming noise.
Chen Mobai looked up to see an earthy-yellow light shield light up, enclosing the entire ship.
At the same time, nearly dozens of blackish-blue water snakes probed their heads out of the water off the ship’s side, opening their huge mouths, and spewed waves of water in their direction.
Accompanied by the chilling whistle, the water waves fell on the ship like rows of sword light, blanketing the sky.
However, the earthy-yellow light shield blocked all attacks.
But after two rounds, the light shield began to dim slightly. Liu Yongnian begrudgingly took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone and had his nephew replace the spent one.
“Everyone, it will still take three days to reach shore. If we let this group of beasts attack continuously, we might attract other demonic beasts. Please join me in a counterattack.”
After finishing this, Liu Yongnian was the first to leave the Ice Breaking Ship, riding a Flying Sword to fight against a distinctively large black snake.
Chen Mobai waited a moment. Until half of them had begun to leave the protection of the light shield and battle the water snakes, he followed suit.
First, he slapped a floating charm on himself, then shot a hidden-yellow Flying Needle from his sleeve into the eyes and vital points of two large snakes that were opening their mouths to bite him.
Blood splattered everywhere.
All the Flying Needles penetrated the bodies of the water snakes. However, the vitality of the demon beasts was so tenacious that it was totally different from humans.
Or rather, the damage from the needle pricks wasn’t fatal enough for them.
As two gaping mouths lunged at him, Chen Mobai swiftly pulled out a blue handkerchief.
A large blue shield materialized in front of him, blocking the two Cold Snakes that, having been injured, were now in a frenzied state.
“Perfect time to test out these three magic artifacts.”
Seeing the snakes get blocked by the blue shield and then becoming even more enraged, they began to coil around him, trying to bypass his defenses. Chen Mobai raised his right hand.
He rubbed the brass ring on his middle finger with his thumb, injecting spiritual power into it.
Golden light flickered!
It seemed as if a sword had glided over the water easily, severing the two Water Snakes that had just coiled themselves around him.
“Not bad, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power.”
Chen Mobai glanced at the results of the battle, his eyes lighting up. However, after sensing the spiritual power within his body, he shook his head slightly.
Inside the cabin, He Qun, who watched this scene through the window, narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had a memory of this brass ring, it seemed to be a sword casting ring from the Golden Cliff.
These people outside were generally experienced individuals who had fought with demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze. They were Qi Practitioners in the latter stages, including even two who were at the ninth level of Qi cultivation. With the Ice Breaking Ship backing them up, they could retreat onto it at any time if they could not hold on. Naturally, they had won a complete victory in this battle.
Chen Mobai tested the power of the brass ring and blue handkerchief once again. Since the white jade bell was for group attacks and couldn’t be controlled, he didn’t use it.
After killing two more Water Snakes, the rest scattered in fear.
However, the leading black snake was firmly entwined by Liu Yongnian and couldn’t escape.
Naturally, Chen Mobai and the others didn’t miss this opportunity. They all rushed over using their various techniques. Ten spells were bombarded together, directly killing this rank-1 peak demonic beast.
“Thanks for your help, everyone. I will send someone to pay for your boat tickets soon.”
After returning to the boat, Liu Yongnian first thanked Chen Mobai and the others, then beckoned his nephew and began to refund the Spirit Stones.
He, on the other hand, called three other cultivators from the Liu family on board the ship and skillfully dissected the black snake, taking the snake gall, bones, skin, eyes, and other useful things with great satisfaction.
These things could be sold at the Southstream Market for at least a hundred Spirit Stones.
Since the people who helped out needed the use of their Liu family’s Ice Breaking Ship and had gotten their boat ticket money back, no one said anything more.
But Liu Yongnian was a good man. He divided the snake meat and gave two pounds to each of the ten cultivators who had fought, including Chen Mobai.
The meat of these rank-1 demonic beasts was full of rich spiritual energy. If sold to restaurants such as the Sky Meal Building that specialized in spiritual meals, two pounds of meat could be exchanged for two Spirit Stones.
Having gained these benefits, everyone was even less inclined to gossip.
On the rest of the journey, they encountered another group of demonic beasts – a group of slow-moving Black Armored Turtles. The Liu family didn’t hesitate to use Spirit Stones to speed up their boat to its fastest to avoid the area where these beasts were and avoid a battle.
Three days later, they finally landed.
There was naturally a stopover market on the shore.
Chen Mobai looked at the map and found the journey back to the Water Mansion quite far.
Even though going to the market before heading back to the Water Mansion was a roundabout way, due to his cautious nature, he decided to follow the Luo family’s caravan back to Yun Country first.
He Qun watched as Chen Mobai bought a ticket from the Luo family, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He made eye contact with the other two Loose Cultivators who just got off the boat and then bought a ticket on the same coach as Chen Mobai while the other two left immediately..
