The Great Wild God - Chapter 330
Chapter 330 Go Out To Sea
“Zong Xun greets Sect Leader Du, Madam Du …”
Chen Xun followed the deacon disciple into the magnificent hall of the inner courtyard. He saw Du Liangyong, the head of the Guihai Pavilion, one of the three great sects in Yangquan County. He sat on the cloud bed with a yellow face and walked forward to salute.
Chen Xun could sense that there were four late Reincarnation Realm cultivators on both sides of the room that were covered with screens. They were vigilantly observing every movement here. It seemed that Sea Pavilion was a rogue cultivator with an unfamiliar background, and he was still a little worried.
Or perhaps Sea Pavilion was bitten by a snake, afraid of the well rope for ten years, Du Liangyong was attacked, his body was poisoned, and he was paralyzed in bed. It was not surprising that they were so careful and vigilant.
Chen Xun and Du Liangyong bowed respectfully. There was no divine light in his eyes, and he seemed a little restrained. However, the divine light behind his pupils was like a different eye. He could tell that Du Liangyong was indeed poisoned. Several dark poisonous fiends were attached to his meridians like maggots. It was as if countless fine beards had grown out, piercing into his flesh and blood essence.
Originally, Du Liangyong had cultivated Spirit Essence and was one of the few early Heaven Essence Realm experts in Yangquan Prefecture. However, it was this strange poison that prevented him from refining a trace of Spirit Essence into his Spirit Sea. Judging from his pupils, his soul was also extremely weak.
After a while, Madam Du gave Du Liangyong a dark green pill.
Although this kind of pill had the effect of nourishing Qi and blood, Chen Xun saw that Du Liangyong could only slightly refresh his spirits, but there was no other benefit. As for Poison Fiend, it constantly had new Qi and blood that could corrode it, and it became more and more condensed in Du Liangyong’s body.
Chen Xun felt that with Du Liangyong’s own cultivation, he should not be able to pull the poison fiend out of his body …
Removing the poison fiend from Du Liangyong’s body was an easy task for Chen Xun, but seeing that Du Liangyong didn’t have any life worries for the time being, Chen Xun wouldn’t risk exposing his identity.
Besides, if Sea Pavilion could establish a foothold in Yangquan City and stand on equal footing with the Flowing Flower Pavilion and Fan Ziya, there should be a stronger sect behind it.
The sect forces behind Du Liangyong should be able to easily dispatch an Origin Core Realm expert to remove the poison fiend for him.
During the conversation, hearing Du Liangyong’s words, Chen Xun immediately refused without any hesitation, avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings and causing the Guihai Pavilion to have too much expectation on him.
Chen Xun said, “Sect Master Du, Zong Xun is very grateful for Madam Du’s kind invitation.” In the midst of descending clan dao, fighting for wealth and honor to make a living this time was only Zong Xun’s original intention to go out to sea. After traveling tens of thousands of kilometers away from home for several months, Zong Xun finally realized that he was a frog in a well when he sat at home and cultivated in the past. After going out to sea this time, Zong Xun was determined to increase his knowledge to help his cultivation. “Zong Xun is getting 30 years old, and it’s already a little late for him to make up his mind to cultivate, but I hope Sect Master Du doesn’t try to persuade me …”
Seeing that Chen Xun had made up his mind, Du Liangyong could not persuade the maidservant to give him a gift of gratitude. He thanked the maidservant for helping him along the way and said, “Originally, the Guihai Pavilion had seagoing ships at the end of this month. However, due to this change, it might take some time. I still need to ask Brother Zong to wait in Yangquan for a few days.”
Seeing that Du Liangyong’s state of mind was quite calm, Chen Xun had a higher opinion of him. He secretly thought that it would be difficult for other Heaven Origin Realm experts to have such a good temper even when the sect was defeated by a low cultivation True Yang Realm rogue cultivator.
Chen Xun stood up and said goodbye without disturbing Du Liangyong’s cultivation.
******************
“Liang Yong, what do you think of Zong Xun?” After Chen Xun left, Madam Du helped Du Liangyong into the inner room to rest.
‘”Seeing that his pupils aren’t bright, but his bearing is quite good, and his temperament is also quite strange. I’m good at observing people’s techniques, but I can’t understand even a bit. Perhaps he really is an aristocratic son who doesn’t go through the world, and his temperament has been tempered a bit during the past few months of traveling, so he gives people such an impression …”
Du Liangyong thought about the impression Chen Xun gave him and felt that there was something strange about it.
“The next trip to the Ji Yue Kingdom is no small matter. Liang Yong, since you can’t see through Zong Xun’s roots, do you still want him to take a boat out to sea?” Madam Du asked.
“Who doesn’t have any secrets that aren’t worthy of being treated as outsiders?” Du Liangyong smiled and said, “Since he has no ill intentions towards Sea Pavilion, even if he has his difficulties, we need to break the clay pot and ask him to the end. He is grateful to Sea Pavilion and is worth taking him out to sea. Find two old seafarers and talk to him about the dangers of the sea so that he doesn’t know anything after he goes out to sea.”
“I will arrange everything else. However, how do I remove the poison fiend from your body? Are you really not going back to the mountain gate? I beg your two Martial Uncles to help me?” Madam Du asked with concern.
Du Liangyong sighed bitterly, “After Master sat down, I didn’t listen to their arrangements. First, I left the mountain gate and went back to Madam Du to take over Sea Pavilion. Then, I took you, the daughter of the enemy sect, as my wife and gave birth to Tong’er.” When I return to the mountain gate and ask the two of them to help me get rid of the poison fiend, I will most likely only be ridiculed. “My life is safe now. There will always be a chance for the poison fiend to be removed. I will definitely not yield and beg them …”
“The next trip to the sea is no small matter. It concerns the thousand-year-old foundation of the Guihai Pavilion. How can you go out to sea like this?” Madam Du asked.
With the help of the four elders, nothing will happen to me. I’ve been here for so many years, “Du Liangyong said.” If I go out to sea, I won’t rely on my strength. Otherwise, with my little cultivation, I won’t be able to see through it. ”
******************
In the courtyard that Sea Pavilion had arranged for Chen Xun to cultivate, there was a bamboo forest separated from the other courtyards. It was extremely quiet.
Chen Xun had always been calm.
Since his identity could be recognized by Sea Pavilion, he could temporarily establish himself in Yang Quan City.
With this identity, even if there weren’t any ships going out to sea for a short period of time, he could still leave the Cloud Continent by other ships.
Although Du Liangyong regretted not being able to recruit Chen Xun as a guest, he still sent over a chart as a thank you gift.
The Falling Star Sea was vast and boundless. Even the inner sea of Cloud Continent and the Ji Yue Islands was hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide, no smaller than the territory controlled by the Xi Wu Dynasty.
In such a vast sea area, the number of demonic beasts that inhabited and reproduced was far beyond imagination.
Although there were also sects and countries established by human cultivators on Ji Yue and other islands, some demonic beasts that were as powerful as human Celestial Realm experts had gathered into demonic forces in the Fallen Star Sea. This was the biggest headache for the southeast and east regions of Cloud Continent …
Cloud Continent had Dragon Gate Sect, and the Profound Heaven Sect guarded the southeast and east regions. They were able to resist the invasion of the inland by the demons, but the sects and islands that the human cultivators had built overseas were not so lucky.
News of the island being devoured by the demons came from time to time, and Yangquan Prefecture was no longer surprised.
Naturally, it was self-evident what kind of risks the seafarers, seafarers, and merchants of Yangquan Prefecture would experience when they sailed.
However, great risks also gave birth to great opportunities.
Not to mention the endless number of precious treasures in the Fallen Star Sea, Ji Yue and other island countries had many rare items in Cloud Continent. If they were transported to the counties of Cloud Continent for sale, they would be able to earn ten times or even a hundred times the profits.
Often, disciples of the various sects ignored the dangers of falling into the starry sea and sneaked into the depths to cultivate. Many people had the opportunity to make a breakthrough, but countless people had died.
The more detailed charts of the Fallen Star Sea were all secrets that were not passed down by a sect like Sea Pavilion. The charts that Du Liangyong had sent over were only simplified versions.
Even if it was a simplified version, it was still precious information that countless seafarers had explored with their lives. It was not something that Chen Xun could easily obtain as a True Yang Rogue Cultivator.
Although the surroundings of Yangquan City weren’t any cultivation grounds, they were nearby thousands of miles of sea, and they were the best harbors in terms of topography.
Regardless of whether it was Sea Pavilion, Fan Ziya, or Liuhua Tower, there were actually stronger sects backing them.
Apart from these three sects, there were also dozens of Sea Ke sects of various sizes, gathering tens of thousands of Sea Ke. Seafarers were seeking a livelihood here, making Sun Spring City much livelier than the inland cities.
Whenever there were ships docking at the harbor and many merchants gathered, they would like to buy the rare treasures brought back by the seafarers as soon as possible.
The Yangquan Square Market, which was held once every March, was even more lively. There would even be cultivators who didn’t hesitate to travel hundreds of thousands of miles to see if Yangquan had any treasures worth keeping.
Chen Xun pretended to be a rogue cultivator with limited cultivation, so he naturally wouldn’t go to these bustling markets. He wanted to watch the bustling markets, and when he sailed to Ji Yue and other island countries, there would be plenty of opportunities.
He had lived in the courtyard of the Guihai Pavilion for more than two months before Madam Du sent someone to inform him that the Guihai Pavilion would arrange several ships to go out to sea in the near future to prepare him …
**********************
Chen Xun disguised himself as a wandering cultivator who had separated from his servants. Other than a thin horse, his luggage had all been lost with his servants. What good preparation could he have?
After consulting the old sea guests of the Guihai Pavilion, Chen Xun spent two days purchasing some items and rushed to Meiling Castle, which was located outside Yangquan City, the day before he left the sea.
Meiling Castle was an important place for Sea Pavilion outside Yangquan City. Although it occupied the spiritual acupoints at the eastern foot of Meiziling Ridge, which were very inconspicuous and might not be enough for late-stage Reincarnation Realm cultivators to cultivate in seclusion, it was one of the few spiritual veins and acupoints that were extremely rare near Yangquan City.
The Meiziling Mountains stretched into the sea, and the southern foothills subsided, forming a natural harbor. This was also the unique dock harbor of Guihai Pavilion.
When Chen Xun entered Meiling Fort, there were three ships docked at the dock.
The three ships were about the same size, about thirty zhang long, floating on the azure mirror-like surface of the sea.
A huge sea beast statue was carved out of black wood in the capital of the ship. The huge sails were like the black bone wings of the sea beast that had been retracted together.
The towering mast was covered with a layer of scarlet copper, densely engraved with profound talismans, making the entire mast fuse with the ship’s hull like molten gold cast iron. Ordinary wind and waves could not destroy the mast at all.
The entire ship was made of thick wood, and a faint spiritual light was emitted from the interior of the ship.
With Chen Xun’s eyesight, it wasn’t difficult to see that apart from the scarlet copper engraved with all sorts of profound talismans, there were also small defensive formations hidden within the three ships. Moreover, there were four defensive formations inside each ship.
The biggest problem with defensive formations outside the mountain gate was that they were difficult to maintain.
Without the Spirit Gathering Restriction, the only way to solve this problem was to prepare a few more defensive formations on the same ship, so that one formation would run out of spiritual energy and the other formations could be used in turn.
The three ships contained twelve small defensive formations, but Chen Xun didn’t expect that the power of the Guihai Pavilion would be a little stronger than he had imagined. Or perhaps this time, the Guihai Pavilion would not be trivial, so the Guihai Pavilion would concentrate all of its strength on these three ships
