The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2299 Golden Channel
"This mountain looks bulky, but its defensive capabilities are truly excellent!"

Looking at the numerous mountain peaks that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, like giant shields still standing on the earth, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Ziyun nodded in agreement: "The earth is thick and heavy, and it is inherently the best defensive force. Now that you have infused it with the Dao of Earth, it is naturally even more difficult to break through. Although my spatial cutting is sharp, it feels like poking a wild bear with an embroidery needle..."

Having learned the supernatural powers, the group embarked on their journey once more.

Destination: Qing Shen Sect in Beihai.

Lin Chen and Zi Yun parted ways with Yao Xuanji and the others at the Immortal Palace. Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen is eager to see everyone again.

I wonder if Yao Xiong has successfully joined the Qing Shen Sect, and I also wonder if Chu Jiaxue, Gu Yuexi and the others have found a suitable place to open up their cave dwellings and build their own little homes.

Lin Chen, Zi Yun, and Lu Yao all returned to the Linglong Tower, entrusting the task of traveling to one of Lin Chen's clones.

Since Lin Chen obtained the ability to create clones, he has come to enjoy having his clones handle trivial matters while he remains safely inside the Linglong Tower, ensuring his safety and allowing him to continue his cultivation.

Because of the extraordinary nature of the clone technique, although the clone and the original body differ in ability, they are otherwise identical.

The clone is the original.

Lin Chen traveled north for a long time before finally arriving at the northernmost edge of Donghuang.

The endless sea.

Hailing City, located in the far north of Donghuang, is a coastal city.

There are three shipping routes across the Endless Sea, which are far apart from each other, and Hailing City is the starting point of the middle route.

Hailing City falls within the sphere of influence of the Shan Hai Sect, and the sea route originating from Hailing City also belongs to the Shan Hai Sect.

The powerful members of the Mountain and Sea Sect regularly participate in the patrol of the waterway, killing any powerful demons that dare to approach it, thus maintaining the safety of the waterway.

By controlling this waterway, the Mountain and Sea Sect controls a golden road.

The Mountain and Sea Sect controls a massive shipping company, and all goods or travelers traveling between Donghuang and Beihai via this sea route must pay fees to the Mountain and Sea Sect.

How many transactions have taken place between Donghuang and Beihai, and what enormous profits have been generated in the process?
The Mountain and Sea Sect is not one of the twelve immortal sects of the Myriad Immortals Palace, but it possesses an extremely powerful foundation and has many Great Luo Immortals within its ranks, making it a true elite sect in the immortal realm.

According to rumors, the Mountain and Sea Sect and the Myriad Immortals Palace have a secret agreement: the Mountain and Sea Sect will hand over a certain percentage of its annual harvest to the Myriad Immortals Palace in exchange for permanent management rights to this shipping route. This is the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm!
Everything belongs to the Palace of Ten Thousand Immortals!

You can take what's given to you, but you can't take what's not given to you!

If you dare reach out, I'll chop your hand off!

How could the Wanxian Palace allow a special channel like the waterway, which involves travel between Donghuang and Beihai, to belong to an uncontrollable immortal sect?

Lin Chen, Zi Yun, and Lu Yao enjoyed a unique sea monster feast in Hailing City, while also hearing many rumors about Hailing City, the shipping lanes, and the Shan Hai Sect.

After enjoying the food, Lin Chen also found out that if he wanted to take a boat, he could simply go to the dock to buy a ticket. Different boats had different prices, and the higher the security level and the larger and more luxurious the boat, the more expensive it would be.

On ordinary days, we're always rushing around and there's not much to see, so we usually have to cover it up ourselves. But now that we've arrived in this seaside city, everyone naturally wants to come out and broaden their horizons.

Even immortals enjoy traveling and seeing different scenery. Moreover, when Lu Yao's heart is at peace, he enjoys good tea, good wine, good food, and everything that makes him feel comfortable.

As for practice?

Lu Yao gave up immediately.

Back then, I was young and strong, full of energy, yet I still couldn't make any breakthroughs. Now that I'm crippled, what's the point of all this fuss? I'll just follow Lin Chen around and live an easy life. When I die, I'll be buried wherever I want. I don't want to think too much about it.

The three arrived at the dock in the north of the city. As far as the eye could see, there were tall ships densely packed together, moored along the shore, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Countless goods were piled up on the dock like mountains, and countless workers, like ants, were carrying these goods onto the ships.

"Why don't they use magical artifacts to transport things? Wouldn't that save them a lot of trouble?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Many items of cultivators may be suitable to be stored in spatial rings or other magical artifacts, but many of the items traded are for ordinary people, such as food and cloth. These things take up a lot of space and are not worth much money. Even the resources needed by cultivators, such as ores, are in huge quantities and are transported by ship. How much can a spatial ring hold?"

Lu Yao chuckled and chimed in, "For cultivators, the goods they can see are generally not worth much money; it's the unseen goods that are valuable."

Lin Chen's eyes swept across the dock, and he found the ticket office in the very center. He smiled and said, "Let's go buy tickets."
