Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

"Oh?"

There was no joy or happiness in Su Qing's words.

Lin Qing gritted his teeth and explained sincerely:

"Old Ancestor Su, you are wise. The Lin family and the Su family have been bound by an alliance for nearly two hundred years. The Lin family has always adhered to the alliance and followed the Su family's lead without ever overstepping its bounds."

"However, the three most powerful members of the Lin family are all here on this trip; they have given it their all!"

"The slightest mishap will wipe out the Lin family!"

Having said all he needed to say, Lin Qing glanced at Lin Canglan, who understood immediately. Feeling slightly relieved, Lin Qing quickly finished speaking in one breath:

"The Foundation Establishment Pill is something the Lin family desperately desires!"

"However, I have a selfish thought: I wish to exchange this for a sword cultivation technique!"

The series of words surprised Su Qing. He never expected that this young man would dare to bargain with him!

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, but his face remained expressionless:

"Oh? Are you sure? Even obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill is no easy feat!"

Lin Qing understood that Lin Canglan's approval was needed to guide him on this matter. However, he also knew, deep down, that if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

Moreover, from that one glance, he understood that his ancestor had fully trusted him.

Therefore, Lin Qing straightened his expression and took out the Meteor Blade and the Azure Lotus Sword, placing them in front of his chest.

"We cherish the care and love from our clan, and we especially value this hard-won opportunity."

"However, fifteen years to slay demons, sixty years to form an alliance, and a hundred years to face a beast tide."

"Qing has no desires, and the Lin family has no desires either. They only hope to learn another sword technique, and to do their utmost in an ordinary way!"

These words are well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

Although the people in the room could not hear their telepathic conversation, they still couldn't help but look at each other and speculate when they saw Lin Qing's actions.

Especially in the eyes of Gu Lei of the Gu family, Qian Xiaobao of the Qian family, Zuo Jingming of the Zuo family, and a veiled female cultivator from the Li family.

They were all the chosen ones of the new generation, and at the same time, Su Qing sent them telepathic messages promising them great benefits.

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, "I can agree to that, but for this operation, you must..."

After saying that, Su Qing immediately began to communicate with Lin Qing telepathically, which made Lin Canglan feel worried. Something that Su Qing valued so much must be extraordinary.

However, he was still unable to do anything.

Lin Canglan frowned and sent a telepathic message to Li Mubai, the head of the Li family, asking:

"Brother Li, do you have any second-tier talismans on you? I'd like to exchange some second-tier pills for one or two, what do you say?"

……

Su Qing's enormous spirit boat was concealed by something, hidden in the clouds, and its existence could not be detected unless one was deliberately searching for it.

This must be because he put a lot of effort into rearranging the forbidden array after the tragedy at the market last time.

The spirit boat was extremely fast, and after several days it broke through the clouds and appeared above a dark sea.

Outside the spirit boat, mist churned, and the sea breeze, carrying a thick, fishy stench, rushed towards them.

As soon as Fang Yi appeared, Lin Qing felt two terrifying pressures rising straight up from the deep sea and crashing down on the spirit boat!

"snort!"

Su Qing let out a cold snort, his pale yellow robe flashed, and he instantly disappeared from the spirit boat, reappearing on the sea.

With a wave of his hand, a giant staff, about ten feet long, with golden hoops at both ends and black patterns entwined in the middle, materialized out of thin air.

"Boom—"

With a flick of his finger, the Purple-Gold Spirit-Stabilizing Cudgel transformed into a streak of light and slashed towards the sea!

A colossal wave suddenly surged up from the sea, parting the dark seawater to reveal two third-tier, low-grade sea monsters with human bodies and beast tails!

The first creature, wielding a golden spear as thick as a forearm and clad in silver-scaled iron armor, roared, causing the seawater to surge into the sky.

"Old man Su, instead of waiting to die on Qingyang Island, you've come to my Hei clan to throw your life away!"

Another Black Sea Siren had bony spines on its back and undulating scales that glowed with a ghostly blue phosphorescence. It was named Blackwing and was the core force of the Black Clan in suppressing this place.

Although he remained expressionless, he was actually filled with shock and anger.

"How come this old man Su is so good at timing things..."

Seeing that he had forced out two sea monsters at the Purple Mansion level, Su Qing's expression turned serious. He opened his mouth and spewed out a large cloud of purple-gold mist, enveloping the three of them, and began to formally cast a spell.

Upon seeing this, Su Mangxia, who was in the spirit boat, narrowed her eyes and decisively raised her arm.

Seeing this, Su Shuangjiang quickly directed the Qi Refining cultivators to split into several streams of light and shoot out, while the Foundation Establishment cultivators followed closely behind, swarming towards their target!

On the sea, thirty or forty second-tier sea monsters, leading hundreds of lesser monsters, were riding towering waves and charging menacingly towards the spirit boat.

A great war is about to break out!

Lin Qing was the first to unleash the Meteor Blade. The afterimage of the blade's strap resembled a crescent moon, and with a flash of arc light, it sliced ​​open the heads of four low-level sea monsters!

"You're asking for it!"

Upon seeing this scene, a strangely shaped second-tier sea monster covered in silver and black scales couldn't help but roar, spewing out a large glob of dark green venom!

"Boom!"

With a single, effortless inhalation, Yuan Yiding caught the mass of venom. Lin Qing then performed a hand seal, causing the cauldron to spin rapidly. A moment later, the cauldron tilted, unleashing a torrent of venom that rained down upon a group of sea monsters!

"ah…"

The sirens' agonizing howls echoed throughout the room.

Upon seeing this, the silver and black scaled sea monster flew into a rage. Its scales instantly stood up and opened, and an invisible wave of sound rushed towards it as its scales opened and closed!

"Whoosh—"

A small turquoise flag fluttered in the wind, instantly creating a large wall of green spiritual energy that forcefully blocked the wave attack.

It turned out that Lin Canglan, who was behind them, rushed forward to help and summoned his magic weapon, the Azure Spirit Flag.

Seeing that both attacks had failed, the silver and black sea monsters hissed and transmitted their message to each other, and soon two more sea monsters flew towards them.

"Qing'er, I'll go stop them, you deal with that guy down there!"

Lin Canglan waved his hand, and a cyan spear flew out of his storage bag, landing in his hand and transforming into a streak of cyan light that pierced towards the oncoming sea monster.

Lin Qing withdrew his gaze, made a sword gesture with his hand, and the Meteor Blade instantly struck the two-colored sea monster.

The two-colored siren suddenly twisted, and countless scales on its body detached, forming a protective scale shield like a sky full of stars.

"Ding ding ding—"

The meteor blade returned empty-handed.

However, upon seeing this extremely familiar divine power, Lin Qing summoned back the Yuan Yi Ding with one hand and condensed a Chonglan Palm, which was one foot square, with the other!

"Splash—"

On the sea, it was even more imposing than on the Su family's martial arts arena!

Countless cultivators and sea monsters turned their heads in surprise.

Seeing this, Gu Lei seemed thoughtful, while Qian Xiaobao excitedly rubbed his hands together: "Great! Since we're having a nine-clan alliance, why don't we rank our clans by the number of demons they've slain!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Zuo Jingming caused the sea monsters in front of him to either turn into frozen blocks or become dizzy and disoriented. He smiled upon hearing this and said, "Alright."

Li Xiaoshuang, a female cultivator from the Li family, wore a white robe that fluttered in the wind. A pair of blue bells were tied around her waist. As she moved, the bells jingled, creating a sky full of blue light and shadow that enveloped the sea monster.

The siren looked dazed, clearly bewitched and at the mercy of others!

"Xiaoshuang listened to her senior brothers..."

The sound was surprisingly pleasant to hear, like the gentle murmur of flowing spring water.

"Ugh—!"
