After several teleportations, the couple finally arrived at the coast of the East China Sea.

Before coming here, the two had already found out that the only way to get to the other side of the sea was to take the Cloud Shadow Sect's large flying boat.

The Cloud Shadow Sect's sea-crossing spaceship makes a trip every two months. Today is September 28th, and the spaceship will depart on the first day of next month. The couple only needs to wait here for two days.

The Cloud Shadow Sect is one of the five major sects of the Lingchuan Continent, located east of the Taixu Mountains near Ning'an City and close to the East Sea.

It is said that the Cloud Shadow Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, including one Mahayana cultivator, three Void Realm cultivators, and more than a dozen Integration Realm cultivators.

Therefore, even though it is very close to the dangerous East Sea and has to endure several beast tides from the depths of the East Sea every year, the Cloud Shadow Sect can still cope with it easily.

Furthermore, the essential path from the cultivation world to the ordinary world has been firmly in their hands for thousands of years.

The East Sea is not only vast in area, but also teeming with high-level demonic beasts in its depths. Even those with the cultivation of the Integration Realm or the Void Realm dare not cross the sea alone or by themselves.

The Cloud Shadow Sect capitalized on this characteristic, sending six spaceships between the East China Sea each year. The revenue from this alone was more than most sects could earn in a year.

Finally, on the morning of the first day of the tenth lunar month, Xu Qingman and her husband bought their tickets and lined up in a long queue to board the Yunying Sect's large airship.

According to the monks who frequently travel between the two sides of the strait on the ship, today's voyage has relatively few people, only a little over 20,000.

In normal times, when there are many people, it is common to have more than 40,000 people.

Hearing this, Xu Qingman and her husband secretly clicked their tongues in amazement. The cost for one person was two hundred high-grade spirit stones, and for more than 20,000 people, it would be at least five million.

This is just the income from the trip; when we return at the beginning of next month, the number of passengers will only increase.

Although the area beyond the East Sea's barrier is just an ordinary world, it still contains many places with spiritual energy. Every year, many low-level cultivators venture into the cultivation world with the dream of becoming high-level cultivators.

Because they paid an extra fifty high-grade spirit stones, Xu Qingman and her husband were assigned a small room of about ten square meters.

Although it wasn't cheap, the entire journey took nearly twenty days. Being able to avoid being crammed with others made the extra spirit stones worthwhile.

After the two settled in, Xu Qingman clicked her tongue twice and sighed, "These major sects really know how to make money. No wonder they can support tens of thousands of disciples."

Yu Jinchen chuckled a few times and advised, "Don't be envious. This money is theirs to earn. Didn't you hear what those people said? Every time they go out, there must be at least two Void Realm cultivators and more than five Body Integration Realm cultivators on the flying boat."

This kind of setup is something that most small sects can't produce. Even if they could, they would have to stay behind at the sect and wouldn't be able to go out at will.

Take the Qingxuan Sect for example. They only have one Void Transformation cultivator and one Nascent Soul cultivator. The combined strength of all the cultivators in the sect doesn't even match the combat power of someone else on a single mission.

Xu Qingman didn't find it hard to understand; she was just a little envious. After hearing what her husband said, she stopped dwelling on it.

After nearly ten days of flight, the couple, who were meditating, were suddenly interrupted by a violent shaking. Just as they were at a loss, they heard someone outside the door shouting, "My God, so many monsters!"

Upon hearing that a monster was attacking the spaceship, the two grabbed their swords, opened the door, and prepared to fight.

However, several Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators were seen walking back and forth in the corridor of the ship's cabin. These people repeatedly told the passengers who were leaving their rooms not to panic, but to close their doors and wait, and that their sects would handle the monster crisis.

Sure enough, in less than 15 minutes, the spaceship took off again steadily, presumably because the crisis had been resolved.

Following some equally curious cultivators, the couple arrived at the deck of the spaceship, only to find a large pile of sea monster corpses being rapidly dissected by dozens of Cloud Shadow Sect disciples.

The powerful figures who had just dealt with the demonic beasts had already returned to their respective rooms.

A Nascent Soul cultivator pointed to the pieces of demonic beast meat and asked, "Fellow Daoist, does your sect sell these demonic beast meats today?"

A Cloud Shadow Sect disciple, busy cutting up beasts, replied without looking up: "As usual, we're releasing beasts. These ninth-tier beasts are worth five spirit stones each, eighth-tier beasts are worth four spirit stones each, and seventh-tier beasts are worth two spirit stones each."

After saying that, he pointed to another pile that had not yet been cut and said, "These low-level demonic beasts are being sold head to head. If you see one you like, just ask the price."

It was only then that Xu Qingman and her husband realized that these people were not all there to watch the spectacle, but were after the flesh and demon cores of these sea monsters.

Furthermore, judging from the quantity some people purchased, they must be vendors who specialize in selling monster meat.

A single serving of ninth-tier monster meat weighs a maximum of two jin (approximately 1 kg), so Xu Qingman and her husband also joined in the fun and bought fifty servings of ninth-tier monster meat, as well as fifty servings of eighth-tier monster meat.

The meat of this monster, which resembles a sea crab or shrimp, has always been Xu Shuyin's favorite. Since they came across it, the two of them bought some more.

After this, they were not disturbed by any monsters along the way, and the spaceship flew directly to the other side of the East China Sea.

After finding out that the barrier was not far away, the two flew there directly on their swords.

Finally, after passing through the barrier, what appeared before the two was a lush green hill and a very ordinary town at the foot of the hill.

Seeing that the cultivators who had come with them had stopped after entering the town, Xu Qingman and her husband followed them in, intending to find an inn to stay in.

However, before the two could make a move, they found themselves, along with the other cultivators in front of them, surrounded by more than a dozen Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Just as they were about to ask what was going on, one of them cautiously asked, "Senior, do you have any sea monster meat or pills for sale? I'll give you a satisfactory price."

Furthermore, the group of people who had previously purchased a large quantity of monster meat on the spaceship were now engaged in a transaction with them.

The couple then realized why several people at the Nascent Soul stage were willing to buy so much demon beast meat—it turned out they weren't buying it for themselves, but rather bringing it as a cargo.

This small town, Dongshan Town, is the market where these livestreamers ship their goods.

To better understand this place, Xu Qingman and her companion also tried selling some of the monster meat. If they liked it, they could buy more when they returned.

"How many spirit stones will you pay per serving of eighth-tier demon beast meat?"

Having decided to sell, Yu Jinchen took out a piece of eighth-order demon beast meat from his storage ring and asked the vendor.

"I'll pay eight high-grade spirit stones for eighth-grade demon beast meat. If you have ninth-grade demon beast meat, I'll pay ten high-grade spirit stones."

Seeing that Yu Jinchen remained silent, the vendor, assuming he was not satisfied with the price, immediately said, "If senior is not satisfied with the price, I can add one more mid-grade spirit stone per serving."

Yu Jinchen nodded, "Okay, let's settle on this price."

Actually, he wasn't complaining about the low price; he was regretting not bringing more so he could resell them here for double the price, which would have been more profitable than any other business.
