Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 127 Boarding the Ship and Setting Sail
However, Jiang Yuchuan's idea was wonderful, but reality did not turn out as he wished.
After visiting several elderly people, including the village chief, Jiang Yuchuan did not obtain any information that was useful to him.
Apart from the village chief, none of the other elderly people had ever even heard of Fangzhang Island.
The village chief, the only one who had heard of Fangzhang Island, knew almost the same information as Jiang Yuchuan.
After asking around without success, Jiang Yuchuan had no choice but to give up and head to the dock.
Today is a rare beautiful day; the sky is clear and the air is crisp. Gentle waves lap against the shore on the azure sea, like a shy maiden.
When Jiang Yuchuan arrived at the dock, he happened to see a dark-skinned, muscular middle-aged man wearing a sun hat rowing slowly towards him, carrying a boat full of plump sea fish that were jumping around in the fishing net.
The middle-aged man had spotted Jiang Yuchuan standing on the dock long ago, so as soon as he rowed his boat into the dock, he immediately smiled and greeted Jiang Yuchuan with two rows of white teeth.
"Does this young master wish to rent a boat to go fishing at sea?"
The reason for asking this question is that every year around this time, many wealthy young men and women of Jiang Yuchuan's age come to their village's dock to rent one or two fishing boats and hire one or two experienced fishermen to go out to sea and experience the joy of net fishing firsthand.
These young masters and ladies are usually very generous. If you serve them well, the tips you receive, plus the money for renting boats and hiring people, will be more than the money they make selling a boatload of fish.
Just when the big man thought he could make a fortune again today, he saw Jiang Yuchuan shake his head at him.
"I intend to go to sea, but not to fish."
Hearing Jiang Yuchuan say this, the big man felt a little regretful, but he was not discouraged. He then smiled and said:
"Young master, would you like a boat and a guide? Don't be fooled by the calm surface of the Uncharted Sea now; a storm might break out soon! Besides, the Uncharted Sea is so vast and boundless that it's very difficult to tell north from south! If this is your first time at sea, you'll be in real trouble if you get lost without an experienced guide!"
Jiang Yuchuan looked at the middle-aged man and politely declined with a smile, saying, "I know what I'm doing. Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Seeing Jiang Yuchuan's stubbornness, the middle-aged man chuckled awkwardly, "Then please, young master, I won't bother you any longer." With that, he turned his head, glared at the large net full of fat fish, and shouted, "You brat, stop playing around! Come and help me unload the fish!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a small, round, dark head peeked out from behind the pile of fish.
"I know, Dad! Why are you yelling so loudly? It's not like I'm deaf."
The boy stood up lazily and stretched his arms.
"Stop dawdling! Get to work!"
The middle-aged man laughed and cursed, raising his leg to kick the boy's buttocks.
With a nimble flip, the boy jumped onto the dock, dodging a flying kick. While dodging, he stuck out his tongue and made a face at Jiang Yuchuan, who was standing not far away.
Just as the father and son were busy unloading fish from the boat, Jiang Yuchuan found a relatively open and deserted spot near the dock, waved his sleeve, and took out the wooden boat from his spatial storage.
The wooden boat that Jiang Yuchuan built himself wasn't very big; it was even smaller than some fishermen's boats. It was just right for one person, but two people would feel a bit crowded.
After boarding the ship, Jiang Yuchuan took out a speed talisman and affixed it to the stern. He then channeled his spiritual energy, maneuvering the ship and leaving a long, white trail like a tail as it sped off into the sea.
The boy, who was sorting fish into different wooden buckets, suddenly twitched his ears. He straightened up, shaded his eyes with his hand, and looked out at the sea. What he saw made his eyes widen in shock.
"What a fast boat! Dad, look! That young master didn't even need oars, he just stood on the boat and made it move by itself!"
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting! Nobody can make a boat move by itself without oars. Stop thinking about slacking off all day long!"
Despite saying that, the middle-aged man still straightened his back, wiping his sweat with the yellowed handkerchief hanging around his neck, while following the boy's gaze towards the sea—
As luck would have it, they spotted Jiang Yuchuan just as he was about to drive out of sight.
"My goodness! Is there really such a rare thing in the world?!"
The boy nodded vigorously and asked the burly man beside him, "Father, do you think this young master might be a legendary immortal?"
After all, this young master not only possesses such formidable skills, but he is also incredibly handsome, remarkably similar to the immortals described in folk tales.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Immortals all ride the clouds and mist, why would they travel by boat? In my opinion, this young master is probably a martial arts master!"
The boy was somewhat dismissive of the big man's statement, but he didn't argue with him. He watched Jiang Yuchuan's figure until it completely disappeared before reluctantly turning his gaze away, bending down, and continuing his unfinished work.
For some reason, the boy suddenly felt full of energy, and even his speed in splitting the fish increased significantly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuchuan, after sailing his boat some distance away from the fishing village pier, slowed down the speed of the wooden boat and began to use his divine sense to scan the sea.
So far, he could only roughly determine the direction of Fangzhang Island; as for its exact location, he had absolutely no idea. Therefore, he could only use this cumbersome method of a thorough, door-to-door search to find it bit by bit.
Fortunately, the one thing Jiang Yuchuan has plenty of right now is time.
After absorbing the life force of Jiang Wei and Wu Yan, his lifespan increased by several decades.
He refused to believe that he couldn't find an island in the mortal world's seas after spending decades on it!
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yuchuan sat alone on the small wooden boat he had built, slowly drifting on the boundless blue sea.
Of course, although Jiang Yuchuan was eager to find the island, he did not spend all his time on it.
Drifting alone on the vast ocean, there will always be times when you feel bored, so Jiang Yuchuan had already made preparations for this before officially setting off.
He put all the Ten-Mile Scholar Red wine that Lu Jingchen gave him into his spatial storage. On his way to the fishing village dock, he also took the time to buy a number of books that he had never read before in the cities along the way.
Reading, drinking, alchemy, drawing talismans, and cultivation.
Apart from the change in location and environment, everything else was the same for Jiang Yuchuan as it had been in Qingyang Town.
In addition, he would occasionally catch some plump fish at sea, grill them, and use them as a snack with his drinks.
What seemed like a dull and boring life was actually lived quite peacefully and comfortably by him.
