System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Bai Li also stood up and stood beside him, saying with the same heroic spirit, "That's right, I, Bai Li, have also come to Qingtian County!"

"Master, tell me about the first divine and demonic body-refining method?" Bai Li asked, tugging at Chen Xuan's sleeve.

Chen Xuan nodded, and then began to tell Bai Li about the secrets of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Bai Li accepted Chen Xuan's sword finger transmission.

"Bai Li, the initial steps of the Divine Demon Body Refinement depend on opportunity and aptitude. Do not develop any obsessions," Chen Xuan said, looking at Bai Li.

"Hehe, don't worry, Master. It would be best if I could get to the basics, but it's not a big loss if I can't." Bai Li's carefree nature made her very open-minded. "Master, I'll start practicing now."

Chen Xuan nodded, and then crouched down and stepped out of the dilapidated boat.

On the deck of the sunken warship, bloodstains still remained, but compared to the bustling scene when boarding, it now appeared somewhat desolate. There were now no more than a hundred living beings remaining on the entire warship's deck.

"We have met you, senior."

"Greetings, senior."

……

As soon as Chen Xuan stepped off the dilapidated flying boat, the rogue cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm who had been cultivating and chatting on the deck quickly rose to greet him respectfully. Turning to look at him, Chen Xuan merely nodded slightly.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon when the sun was high in the sky. Sure enough, as noon approached, Chen Xuan could vaguely see the mountain ranges on the other side of the Dead Sea.

"After several days of life-or-death ordeal, we have finally crossed this Dead Sea!"

"This experience will be unforgettable for me."

"Unfortunately, my cousin's resolve was not firm. He was bewitched by the demonic sound and jumped into the Dead Sea. How am I going to explain this to my relatives?"

……

Upon seeing the other side of the Dead Sea, some on the warship were overjoyed while others were filled with sorrow.

"Master, sob, I failed." Just as Chen Xuan was admiring the scenery on the other side, a dejected voice came from beside him. Who else could it be but Bai Li?

Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this and reached out to rub Bai Li's head. "Then you should focus on cultivating Qi from now on. The reason why the Divine Demon Body Refinement is difficult to cultivate is that it is very demanding on both physical aptitude and cultivation aptitude."

Bai Li was quite open-minded. After Chen Xuan's encouragement, she was no longer upset. Instead, she casually pulled out a storage belt.

"Master, here you go." Bai Li handed the spoils that had already been sorted to Chen Xuan. "This time, during our crossing of the Dead Sea, we harvested a total of 13 jin of Origin Liquid, 156 Earth-rank magic treasures of various types, and 1121 Human-rank magic treasures of various grades."

As Bai Li spoke, she swept away her frustration at being unable to enter the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, and her eyes sparkled with a strange light, like a little money-grubber.

"Oh? Such a harvest?" Chen Xuan was also surprised. He reached out and took the storage belt. As he refined it with a wisp of spiritual energy, he was extremely satisfied with his harvest.

"No wonder there are always plots of murder and robbery in novels from my previous life. The speed at which this thing accumulates wealth is simply mesmerizing."

Chen Xuan said in a low voice, "I bought 30 catties of top-grade spirit grains and only got three catties of source liquid. The harvest from one battle is comparable to my three years of accumulation?"

“Yes, Master, I was shocked when I first checked the categories. It turns out that the efforts of my 200 descendants over three years are not as good as the results of a single battle. It’s really frustrating,” Bai Li echoed Chen Xuan’s words.

"No, while murder and robbery may bring wealth quickly, they are always fraught with danger. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

"Hmph, Master is invincible in Bai Li's eyes. But Master is right, we are not vicious people. This time, Master's killing spree was entirely their own doing."

As Chen Xuan and Bai Li chatted, they gazed at the ever-approaching other shore continent.

"By the way, Master, inside this storage treasure are the demonic beasts that pull the carriages of the young masters and ladies of those great tribes. Most of them are at the Innate Realm, and a few are at the Foundation Establishment Realm."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Li handed another storage-type magic item to Chen Xuandao.

"These are all relatively common monsters, without the bloodline of divine beasts. If you were to sell them, their value would probably not be high."

Hearing Bai Li say that, Chen Xuan smiled and accepted the answer, "I understand."

Soon, the Dead Sea ship creaked and groaned as it reached the shore.

"Everyone, I'm taking my leave now. Until we meet again!"

"Everyone, we must part ways here. Take care."

……

As the sunken wooden ship came to a stop, many rogue cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm exchanged polite greetings before each activating their flying magical artifacts and rapidly departing in various directions. Clearly, while on the sunken wooden ship in the Dead Sea, they could still interact, but once they reached the other side, their vigilance heightened.

Bound by the Heavenly Oath, none of the nearly one hundred cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm dared to bid farewell to Chen Xuan when they left. They merely nodded to Chen Xuan with great reverence as they passed by. The nearly one hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators scattered like birds and beasts, and soon only Chen Xuan and his servant remained on the deck of the sunken wooden ship.

"Master, shall we set off too?"

Bai Li piloted the dilapidated little flying boat, slowly ascending into the air and facing Chen Xuandao.

"Well, let's go."

As Chen Xuan took off and landed steadily, the dilapidated flying boat sped towards the endless wilderness mountains ahead.

Drifting for days in the Dead Sea, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles, the endless darkness and desolation were nothing short of mental torture. Then, suddenly seeing these verdant mountains and endless mountain ranges evoked a completely different feeling.

After a long journey, time flew by. Before sunset, Chen Xuan chose a relatively sheltered plain valley deep in the mountains.

“Master, after a long rest, Bai Li can travel day and night.” Bai Li asked, not understanding why Chen Xuan needed to rest at night.

“We have plenty of time, there’s no need to rush.” Chen Xuan smiled, and as the boat landed steadily, he also jumped onto the soft ground.

"That's true." Bai Li maneuvered the flying boat to a stop and then leaped down to Chen Xuan's side. "I haven't eaten properly for several days, Master. Please wait here. I'll be right back."

Bai Li didn't explain further, and immediately sped towards the Endless Mountains, disappearing from sight in just a few breaths.

Seeing Bai Li busy capturing land beasts, Chen Xuan also strolled towards the entrance of the plains in the heart of the land. With a wave of his hand, many low-level demonic beasts of various kinds appeared in the open area in front of Chen Xuan. These demonic beasts had been specially tamed by beast tamers, almost destroying their potential for immortality, and could only do manual labor for the rest of their lives.

Although Chen Xuan only exuded the aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the pressure emanating from him was comparable to that of a Yuan Shen Daoist. Among the released demonic beasts, there were naturally some ferocious ones, but after sensing the aura emanating from Chen Xuan, they all became quiet and obedient.

"Today, I, Chen Xuan, will set you free." Chen Xuan glanced at the group of low-level demonic beasts and said, "After you return to the forest, you must not do evil or wantonly harm mortals."

"Thank you, senior!"

"I will never forget your great kindness!"

"May I ask, senior, is there anything we can do for you?" The strongest demon beast at the Pifu Realm, who was the leader, asked respectfully. It did not believe that Chen Xuan would release them without any reason.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and casually replied, "If we encounter any rogue cultivators from Qushan in the future who are in danger, we should lend a hand if we can."
