Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 211 Hanhai City

It was afternoon, a sunny day, with the blue waves rippling and the sky and water of Hanhai City crystal clear.

"Mr. Jotaro, here's your drink." The young waitress handed Lu Mingfei a glass of blue specialty cocktail with a hint of sea salt.

"Thank you!" Lu Mingfei took the coin and walked towards the door. As he turned around, a gold soul coin landed on the bar and spun around. "Keep the change."

He then sat under an open-air parasol at the bar entrance, where the sun shone on the distant beach and waves, the sea shimmered, and seagulls soared in the sky.

Every time Lu Mingfei comes here, he feels like he's in Roman Holiday.

Hanhai City, the largest city in the western border of the Tiandou Empire, boasts the most uniquely advantageous deep-water harbor on the entire continent.

A year ago, on his second day in this coastal city, Lu Mingfei spent a lot of money to buy a small, private house by the sea, fulfilling his long-held wish to "buy a house facing the sea, where spring is warm and flowers bloom".

He then began his life of cultivation in seclusion, living under an assumed name.

Most of the soul masters in this city are sea soul masters, who are not interested in the Spirit Hall and pay no attention to the Soul Master Competition on the continent.

His reputation as the number one genius on the mainland is not well-known here, and few people know about it, which is something he is naturally eager to achieve.

Anyway, he now had over 200,000 gold soul coins to squander, so he enjoyed the life of a tycoon in Hanhai City. When he felt bored, he would always come here to have a few drinks and listen to the various boasts of the drinkers, which was also a way of gathering information.

"Jotaro, the information you asked me to gather for you has yielded some results." The bar owner, wearing a floral shirt, sat down next to Lu Mingfei.

To gather information, one should naturally seek out locals. In a year, he had established himself firmly in Hanhai City, since no one would turn down money.

The owner of this bar is an old man in his sixties with the cultivation level of a first-ring Soul Master. He used to be a sailor at sea.

Lu Mingfei asked the other party to inquire if there was any news about dragon-type soul beasts. I've been gone for almost two months, and even Lu Mingfei had given up hope and was preparing to go out and look for them himself. I didn't expect to get news today.

"Tell me about it." Lu Mingfei raised his handmade obsidian sunglasses, picked up his glass of wine, and took a sip.

The boss glanced at Lu Mingfei, chuckled, and rubbed his fingers together: "I finally got this exclusive news from an old guy at the docks."

Lu Mingfei casually waved his hand and took out two hundred gold soul coins from his soul tool. This was the deposit they had agreed on at the beginning, and the balance would be paid when he returned.

The shopkeeper's eyes were immediately blinded by the light of the gold soul coins. He beamed with joy, nodded his thanks, and put them away.

He dared not be negligent towards the wealthy and mysterious young nobleman in front of him. The other party spoke of dragon-type soul beasts that had existed for ten thousand years, which meant that the power behind him was at least at the level of Soul Douluo or Title Douluo.

The boss said, "My old buddy encountered a sea spirit beast that attacked with golden lightning near an unnamed island when he was out fishing. It might be a golden electric eel of the sub-dragon species, definitely over a thousand years old. As for whether it is a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast, you can only judge for yourselves. I can't guarantee it."

Compared to the Soul Master Compendium on the mainland, the Soul Beast Compendium for Sea Soul Masters is even less complete. After all, the number of Sea Soul Masters is already small, while the number of Sea Soul Beasts is astonishingly large, making it difficult to form a systematic research framework.

"Thank you." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"My old buddy of mine will be going out to sea tomorrow. I'll take you to the pier to find him at dawn tomorrow. He'll take you and your people to the vicinity of that island. Seven days later, as long as there's no storm, he'll come to pick you up," the boss added.

"No problem, just take me to a place where I can see the island. I'll go there and come back on my own." Lu Mingfei finished his last sip of wine, stood up, and said, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow," the boss replied.

From what Lu Mingfei just said, he could tell that this was a land-based Soul Master who could fly, and his identity should be a scout who collected information about Soul Beasts. However, he was a little curious about which force was so arrogant.

The next day, Lu Mingfei arrived as promised in the early morning, and the two of them rushed to the crowded dock.

Lu Mingfei also met the boss's so-called old partner here, an old man with white hair and beard like him. However, he had probably been at sea for many years, so his skin was as black as charcoal, and his face was full of wrinkles. But his eyes were bright and piercing.

When Lu Mingfei and the boss arrived, the old man immediately looked Lu Mingfei up and down, and then nodded.

Today, Lu Mingfei was dressed in tattered, coarse linen clothes, his hair was disheveled and greasy, and his whole body was covered with soot from the bottom of a pot. Anyone who looked at him would think he was a poor boy struggling to make a living at sea.

As an experienced sailor, the boss had naturally introduced him to some of the rules and taboos at sea.

This sea is home to many pirates. Ordinary fishermen who encounter pirates usually only need to pay some protection money. Although Lu Mingfei is not afraid of any pirates, he does not want to cause trouble for the boatmen.

After paying the toll, the old man quickly led Lu Mingfei onto the fishing boat. The boat was not big, only about seven or eight meters long, and the wooden planks were covered with repair marks, showing that it had been around for many years.

Also on the boat was a teenager, the old man's grandson, who was obviously a very lively and mischievous boy.

"Sir, I will get you there safely, but if anything happens, please follow my instructions." The old man said solemnly after boarding the ship.

"Of course, sir." Lu Mingfei nodded. Whether it was the old man or his grandson, they were just ordinary people, and it was normal for them to be cautious.

Perhaps sensing Lu Mingfei's friendly attitude, the old man relaxed a little. After all, this was a Soul Master, and they couldn't afford to offend him. If it weren't for saving money to buy a new ship, he would never have done something so dangerous.

Soon the fishing boat set sail, and Lu Mingfei stood on the deck, looking at the rising sun, feeling a mix of emotions.

Although he used to live in a coastal city, he had never been out to sea by boat. After arriving in Hanhai City, he only flew out at night to enjoy the sea breeze and take a stroll.

This was his first time on a boat, and he found it quite novel.

The novelty wore off in just a few minutes, and then the discomfort returned.

"I'll go."

Lu Mingfei held onto the railing, covering his mouth. It's no wonder he's so delicate and precious. Soul Masters are human too. Even if he's a quasi-Soul Emperor who can kill a Title Douluo, he still has to respect basic physiological reactions, okay?

"Talk to someone, it'll help you distract yourself," the old man said, sounding very experienced.

Lu Mingfei nodded with a wry smile. He really needed to shift his focus, otherwise he felt like he was going to vomit bile.

"By the way, old man, you've been at sea for so many years, have you ever heard of Poseidon Island?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head and casually asked.

In Hanhai City, news about Poseidon Island is widely circulated, but it is always shrouded in mystery, and no one knows much about it.

At least the Angel God of the Spirit Hall has a specific doctrine and legendary deeds, but calling him the Sea God is absurd. Sea Spirit Masters all talk about respecting faith, but when it comes to specific content, they have absolutely no clue.

If he hadn't known that Poseidon Island really existed, he probably would have thought it was some charlatan's religious hoax.
