Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 200 Crossing the Sea to the East
There are two attics on the Fuhai, one is called Fuhai Pavilion and the other is called Zhenhai Pavilion.

Only Jindan Zhenren can enter these two attics.

Except for the deaf and dumb who go in to clean at 9:00 every day, no other monks of Fuhai Sect and passengers are allowed to enter.

Fan Hongyu led Xiao Chen to the door, and then hurried to Fuhai Pavilion to report the situation.

"Hahaha, I wonder which fellow Taoist is here to visit?"

Xiao Chen entered Zhenhai Pavilion and was looking at the furnishings in the hall when he heard hearty laughter outside.

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure strode in.

He had prominent cheekbones, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He stood over eight feet tall. He wore a golden crown with a ruby ​​inlaid in the front. His tight brown clothes revealed the outline of his bulging muscles.

According to the information Xiao Chen had inquired before departure, the person who came must be Yucha Zhenren.

There is another saying here that the Yucha Zhenren of the Fuhai Sect does not refer to a single person, but specifically refers to the Jindan who controls the Fuhai.

Its origin is a famous spiritual weapon - the three-toothed sea treasure jade fork.

Legend has it that he is a fourth-rank weapon refiner from the Eastern Region. He is the sect's treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Fuhai Sect and can effectively fight against the golden elixir monsters in the sea.

"Eh!"

Yucha Zhenren looked around with his large eyes and asked in surprise, "Forgive my poor eyesight, but this fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar to me. I wonder which state he is from?"

The Southern Region is such a small place that most of the Jindan Zhenren have heard of each other.

After excluding the newly promoted Jindan cultivators, he should know the remaining few Jindan mid-stage cultivators who may be preparing to cross the sea.

Xiao Chen bowed and replied, "But Fellow Daoist Yucha is here in person. I am from Lizhou and my nickname is Flame Dragon."

The custom in the Southern Region is to announce one's Dharma name when meeting someone, using the Dharma name instead of one's full name.

"Oh~, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yanlong from Lizhou. I've heard a lot about you."

Master Yucha seemed to suddenly understand.

Although he had never heard of the name, he still offered some courtesy: "I was wondering why there were sea magpies calling this morning. It turns out there's a distinguished guest."

Xiao Chen waved his hand: "I don't deserve it. Fellow Daoist Yucha is the most famous one."

The two exchanged some pleasantries and sat down on either side of the tea table.

True Man Yucha tried to find out about Xiao Chen's background through his words.

Only then did we start talking about business.

"Since Fellow Daoist Yanlong wants to cross to the East, he naturally doesn't need to buy a boat ticket."

Yu Cha Zhenren smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to help me when you are in danger, not only will you not have to spend spirit stones, I will also give you an additional reward."

"I promise I won't treat you unfairly."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to help."

"But this might require a two-day wait. Firstly, to prevent the younger generation from missing the boat and having to wait another three years, and secondly, to avoid the recent fish influx."

In fact, if a foundation-building cultivator came instead.

Then one of the conditions for boarding the ship is to obey orders and provide mana for the formation in an emergency.

After all, once you are out at sea, with no shore in sight and no way to land behind, you naturally need to mobilize every bit of your strength.

Xiao Chen did not object to this. After all, he would be on the ship at that time, and he certainly could not watch the ship sink.

So when you encounter danger, taking action is not only saving others, but also helping yourself.

"If you encounter danger, I will naturally be responsible."

He didn't want to waste time. "I just don't know what the fish tide is like. When is the earliest we can set off?"

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's agreement, Yucha Zhenren immediately smiled brightly: "Daoyou, that's straightforward!"

"In that case, I won't waste any time. Let the boys start preparing. We'll set off in three days at the latest."

"As for the fish tide, with your promise, there's nothing to worry about."

The fish tide was originally an excuse.

The Fu Hai Sect has been on the Boundary Sea for so many years that they have long understood the patterns of fish schools and naturally have other ways to avoid them.

Once the time was set, Fu Hai Zong immediately mobilized.

A large number of spiritual objects were carried into the cabin in boxes, and many weapon refiners and formation masters began routine inspections before departure.

A grand ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven was then held, praying for heaven's blessing for a smooth journey.

Finally, hundreds of ropes tied to the shore were collected one after another.

Although there were only more than 200 foundation-building cultivators on board, there were thousands of relatives and friends who came to see them off.

Amid the reluctant waving and tears of many monks on the shore, the Fu Hai slowly sailed out of Dongdu Bay.

Xiao Chen swept his spiritual sense over and saw all kinds of living beings.

Some people stood on the deck and waved goodbye reluctantly, looking reluctant to leave.

He seemed to be the eldest son of a local Haozhou family. He was learning from his ancestors to go back and forth to the Eastern Region to sell supplies and at the same time inherit the family's network of contacts.

Someone was sitting alone in the cabin, his eyes dull and a little confused.

There are quite a few people like this. They go to the Eastern Region to seek an opportunity, but they feel a little nervous about the unknown place.

Someone finally dropped their pretense: "Fuck it, we're finally leaving this damn place!"

Most of them are evil cultivators or robber cultivators wanted by a certain sect, and they can hardly survive in the Southern Region.

Ye Fei was not seen inside.

Considering that there are only a few ordinary female cultivators on the ship, the possibility of a disguise can basically be ruled out.

"Fellow Daoist Yucha, shouldn't we care about those evil cultivators on the wanted list?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously, he believed that the other party should have noticed it as well.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Yanlong, there's something you don't know."

Yucha Zhenren explained with a smile: "Early in the beginning, the major sects have discussed this matter."

"The final conclusion is that it would be best to let these beasts go away on their own initiative."

"They can leave the Southern Territory, but they can never come back. Anyone who still thinks of running back will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

What the real people thought at the time was that if these people stayed, they would just hide and cause trouble everywhere.

It would be better to give them a loophole to escape, be strict in entry and lenient in exit, and send them to cause trouble in the Eastern Region.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, drink!"

Yucha Zhenren grabbed the wine jar beside him and poured a full bowl for Xiao Chen: "This is a fine wine that a good friend of mine sent from Wanxian Island."

"His name is White Jade Little Green Dragon."

"It is to seal the third-level white jade koi and many rare spiritual objects into the altar through a unique secret method."

"It's first buried on the island for nine years, then soaked in the sea for nine years, and finally taken out and hung in the air for nine years before it can be brewed into a jar like this."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen looked into the golden bowl in front of him.

Sure enough, I saw a ball of white smoke floating in the bowl, sometimes like a koi, sometimes like a swimming dragon.

It looked quite lively, but when I scanned it with my spiritual sense, I found that it was just a ball of extremely pure spiritual energy.

This ball of spiritual energy alone is almost comparable to a bottle of five-color mysterious water.

But then again, this is wine brewed by a third-level spirit fish, so it is naturally different from the ordinary things we usually see.

Is this cost too high?
Xiao Chen picked up the golden bowl and drank it all.

When the wine goes down your throat, you will feel its sweetness like honey, its softness like cotton, its delicateness and strength, and its clean and long aftertaste.

Then a ball of heat rose from the abdomen and gathered in the chest, bringing warmth.

It lasted for about quarter of an hour before the heat basically dissipated.

During this period, wisps of spiritual power transformed into the Dantian and were hidden.

When it comes to cultivation, it can help the cultivator to better refine the true essence.

"Good wine!"

Xiao Chen praised: "I'm sorry for the expense, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong is too polite."

Yucha Zhenren helped to fill up the glass again: "If you don't mind, you may drink two more bowls."

"You and I can drink from this jar together, so we can pass the time at sea."

His jar of wine weighs at least ten pounds, and one bowl takes fifteen minutes to drink, which is enough to last him a long time.

As for the cost, it is actually not as high as you might think.

There are many spiritual veins in the Eastern Region, and these white jade koi are artificially domesticated and there are many of them. They are not as rare as those in the Southern Region.

Although they are indeed genuine third-level spirit fish, their total quantity is large, so they are naturally less valuable.

Of course, this is also true for Jindan Zhenren. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators certainly cannot afford it.

I don’t know if it’s because of his cheerful personality or because no one has talked to him for a long time.

After two bowls of wine, Master Yucha immediately started talking.

He pulled Xiao Chen aside and began to brag about the stories he had experienced in the Boundary Sea over the years, as well as some strange stories from the Eastern Region.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, I remember that it was my third time out to sea when I happened to encounter a four-eyed swordfish."

"They brought a large school of sea fish, at least 18,000 of them, and surrounded the Fu Hai in three layers."

"I was standing at the bow and looked out. There were densely packed water swords everywhere."

"The entire composite defensive formation was shaking violently."

"That four-eyed swordfish was hiding in the school of fish, never revealing its whereabouts. I looked left and right but couldn't find it. I watched as piles of spirit stones were burned up."

"And guess what?"

Xiao Chen cooperated very well and asked, "It's so serious, how was it resolved?"

"Hey hey hey!"

Yucha Zhenren smiled complacently: "You have to say that I was also very brave back then, and I had another Taoist friend accompanying me to look after the boat."

"So I grabbed the sea-piercing jade fork and rushed straight into the sea."

"That four-eyed swordfish's head alone is four feet tall, and at least twenty feet long. When it opens its mouth wide, its mouth is three feet long when standing upright. The whiskers around its mouth are as thick as my thighs."

"That creature thought I was no match for it after entering the sea. It didn't even bother to hide and just pounced on me."

"Humph, I tightened my robes and stabbed it, going straight into its mouth and digging it out through its stomach."

"I didn't see the middle clearly, and even broke its demon core into two pieces."

"You don't know, that half of the demon pill is this big."

Yucha Zhenren opened his hands to the left and right, and they seemed to be five feet wide.

But according to the ancient books Xiao Chen had read, the four-eyed swordfish king was usually only twelve feet long, almost half the size of the one he described.

Of course, it’s hard to say. Maybe this is a mutant fish king.

So he didn't take it seriously, but just listened to the story. On the one hand, it could broaden his horizons, and on the other hand, it was just a way to pass the time.

The Fu Hai's fastest sailing speed is as high as ten thousand miles a day, which is faster than many Jindan Zhenren.

But even so, it will take nearly four months to cross the boundary sea.

If we have to take a detour due to fishing season, or if we are attacked along the way, four months may not be enough. It is much better to have someone to talk to than to be alone.

After sharing the story of Jiehai a few days ago, Yucha Zhenren continued to talk about the rumors: "Fellow Daoist Yanlong, have you heard that there are three major families in Jingkong Sea?"

Xiao Chen had seen them in Journey to the East: "I heard they were the Chu, Wen, and Zhao families, these three families."

Speaking of which, he had met the younger generation of these three families in Xuantian Immortal Palace.

At that time, they had all reached the great perfection of foundation building. I wonder if they have successfully formed the elixir now.

"In fact, these three families are just superficial forces."

Yucha Zhenren slammed the table and said, "I have a very good Taoist friend who told me that the three major families in Jingkong Sea were actually all supported by Zhenjun Baota."

Golden Core cultivators are called True People, while Yuanying cultivators can be called True Lords.

"Master Pagoda?"

Xiao Chen was a little curious: "I wonder where this True Lord came from?"

"You've asked the right person."

Yucha Zhenren patted his chest and said, "I've specifically inquired about this matter. That Pagoda Zhenjun is quite extraordinary."

"Do you know the secret realm of the vast sea?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "I don't know."

He had never seen this before.

"Then I must first tell you about this secret realm."

Yucha Zhenren swiped his finger across the table and said, "Go out from Jingkong Sea. Above is the Black Rock Sea, and below is the Wanxian Island."

"Five hundred thousand miles past the Black Rock Sea is the Black Rock Fishing Ground. Another million miles east is the Cloud Pond Sea."

"Next to Yunchi Sea is the famous Feidu Sea."

Fly across the sea?
Xiao Chen secretly noted down this location, as it was one of the important destinations on his way to the Eastern Region.

"In ancient times, there were also demonic sects in the Eastern Region. The largest of these sects, the Yinsha Immortal Sect, had its main gate located right here."

"Continue eastward from Feidu Sea for about 700,000 miles, and you will reach the Vast Sea Secret Realm."

Yucha Zhenren paused deliberately: "It is also called the Vast Sea Realm."

"It is said that the Vast Sea Secret Realm is vast and boundless, and that cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and below can enter it. There are countless treasures inside."

"The most important point is that it actually has entrances in the Western Region and the Northern Region."

Is there such a thing?

Xiao Chen asked curiously, "So we can go directly to the other two realms through the secret realm?"

If that's the case, he will definitely have to find an opportunity to visit the secret realm of the vast sea in the future.

"That won't work."

Yu Cha Zhenren shook his head: "There are very strong restrictions in the secret realm. You can only leave through the same entrance you entered."

"Also, the opening time of the entrance is not fixed, and the opening time among the three domains is not uniform."

"The estimated interval is currently at least one year and at most three years, with each entrance only lasting seven days."

"If you want to explore for treasure, you usually have to wait until the next entrance opens."

"Also due to the restrictions, staying in the Vast Sea Secret Realm has become extremely dangerous."

"We must be careful of Tribulation Cultivators who might take advantage of the situation to bully the minority, and we must also be careful of attacks from the cultivators in the other two domains."

It does sound dangerous.

Xiao Chen thought about it and immediately understood that the key issue was that when cultivators from different domains met, they had no scruples at all.

Being unable to chase after the enemy through the entrance means that even with a powerful background, there is no way to seek revenge, which is equivalent to no consequences.

This kind of rule is simply encouraging hunting each other!
The storage bags or storage rings carried by the monks in other realms have also become one of the treasures of the secret realm.
.
Master Yucha waited for a while, allowing Xiao Chen to think about the rules for a while.

Then he changed the subject: "And that Pagoda True Lord is a top cultivator who can stay in the secret realm for years to practice."

"Previously, many forces compiled dozens of rankings of all the cultivators from the Three Realms who had appeared in the Vast Sea Secret Realm."

"But no matter which ranking list it is, Master Baota will always be in the top ten."

After hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately understood.

That Pagoda Master is now in the Eastern Region. Apart from the elusive fifth-order mighty being, he should have reached the pinnacle.

"So after you go to the Eastern Region, don't provoke the three major families."

Yucha Zhenren reminded: "If there is any conflict, be patient if necessary, and give in if necessary."

"Otherwise, if you offend the True Lord of the Pagoda, ten lives won't be enough to kill him."

"I speak from the bottom of my heart. We are all cultivators from the Southern Region. Otherwise, I wouldn't tell anyone."

Of course, he is usually on the boat and rarely sees outsiders.

Apart from the monks from the Jinxia Sect who were in charge of the connection, there was no one else to say what he wanted to say.

"Thank you, Daoist Yucha, for the reminder."

Xiao Chen bowed his hands in thanks: "I'll remember that."

In fact, he was different from other Jindan cultivators. He was just passing by the Jingkong Sea, and his main goal was the Baicao Secret Realm.

But no matter whether he needs this information or not, he must appreciate the other party's kindness.

With this reminder, the worst that can happen is that I can keep a low profile in Jingkong Sea.

Originally, Xiao Chen was not the kind of person who would stir up trouble. As long as the other party did not take the initiative to cause trouble for him, he would definitely not deliberately offend anyone.

Under normal circumstances, he should not have any involvement with the three major families.

Two months passed quietly during this casual chat.

Xiao Chen also gained a lot of detailed understanding of the Eastern Region.

Although the content of Yucha Zhenren's story may not be true, some local customs and practices cannot be faked.

"Boom~!"

There was a loud thunderclap. Standing by the window, I looked out and saw dark clouds covering the sky for thousands of miles, with strong winds howling and huge waves surging.

Looking further away, you can see purple electric pillars falling from the sky one after another and crashing into the sea, about thousands of miles away.

From time to time, a red light would flash, and then after a while, new thunder sounds would be heard, making it look like a doomsday scene.

However, Xiao Chen has begun to get used to this situation.

Anyone who watches it for half a month will become immune to such situations.

At first he was naturally a little surprised, curious whether it was a natural disaster.

Later, it was learned that this was indeed a natural disaster called the Sea Boundary Thunderstorm.

The electric current in the distance that seemed to be able to destroy the world was indeed extremely powerful. Any one of them could easily kill a Jindan cultivator and seriously injure a Yuanying cultivator.

However, despite the natural disaster, the Fu Hai's route is still very safe as it is actually very far away from here.

To be more precise, the Fu Hai deliberately approached the boundary sea thunderstorm.

Such thunderstorms occur every year in the boundary sea, and each time they cover a certain area.

During a thunderstorm, the monsters and beasts within the range will instinctively flee for their lives and will not bother to attack the spirit boat.

Therefore, by sailing along the edge of the thunderstorm in the boundary sea, you can use the power of heaven and earth to avoid the schools of fish you may encounter.

The specific boundaries are also one of the major secrets of the Fuhai Sect's survival.

On the day when the thunderstorm ended, the spirit ship also stopped and drifted on the sea.

Yucha Zhenren took the opportunity to invite Xiao Chen to go sea fishing: "This is a rare opportunity that most people don't get to encounter."

In order to avoid being disturbed, the foundation-building monks on the ship were instructed in advance by the monks of Fuhai Sect to stay in the cabin.

There were only Xiao Chen and Yu Cha Zhenren on the wide deck.

After the long-awaited rain, the sky cleared up. I lay in a rocking chair and basked in the sun while fishing with a fishing rod in my hand.

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong doesn't seem to fish often?"

Seeing that Xiao Chen's movements seemed a little unfamiliar, Yu Cha Zhenren smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, just follow me. Fishing is the easiest today."

Xiao Chen soon noticed that there were schools of fish passing by under the sea.

In a short moment, thousands of them swam past.

As time approached noon, the scorching sun shone down, and the originally azure sea seemed to be coated with a layer of flowing silver in an instant.

Countless tiny spots of light flickered on the sea, as if stars in the sky had fallen into the sea.

This is due to both the reflection of the sea water and the fact that thousands of small fish are competing to jump out of the water.

The schools of fish that left because of the thunderstorm in the boundary sea a few days ago will now return after the thunderstorm ends.

The Fu Hai happened to be at the border, so it was natural that it encountered the returning tide of fish.

After a whole morning, Xiao Chen estimated that at least millions of sea fish, big and small, passed by, which really opened his eyes.

However, to the boundary sea, this is just a small area.

I really can’t imagine how many spirit fish there are living in the entire sea.

With such a large number of spirit fish, how many high-level spirit fish can be born?

"Fellow Daoist Yanlong, the rainbow fish tide is coming!"

Yucha Zhenren suddenly became excited: "I didn't expect that we would actually encounter a rainbow fish. This time I must catch the king fish!"

Rainbow fish is a special kind of small fish, usually only three inches long and at about the second level of Qi Refining.

Some fish may be a little bigger, but they are only about six inches long and have the cultivation level of the middle stage of Qi Refining.

But it has a characteristic, that is, seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, are evenly distributed from head to tail, hence the name rainbow fish.

Among every 100,000 rainbow fish, there is a chance that a twelve-inch long king fish will appear, which has the foundation-building cultivation level.

This knowledge was what Master Yucha had told Xiao Chen before.

Of course, the main point of his story is that he almost caught the king fish.

And the king fish was particularly big, at least fourteen inches.

Xiao Chen was squinting his eyes to bask in the sun. When he heard the words, he looked up and instantly felt deeply what it meant to be brilliant.

Under the bright sunshine, the seven colors seem to be interwoven into a piece of brocade.

"Boom~!"

The fishing rod in his hand was suddenly pulled. Xiao Chen immediately pulled it back and saw an exceptionally beautiful rainbow fish being pulled out of the water.

Looking closely, I saw that it was fifteen inches long and it was the Rainbow Fish King.

"Snapped!"

On the other side, Master Yucha's fishing rod suddenly fell to the ground.

"How is this possible?"

"Ah, I see. It must be luck."

"You've just learned to fish. Beginners always have good luck."
