Chapter 449 – Going inland, prying for information

“The two of you take your time.”

Waiting for the two sides to finish their transaction, Lin Ziyan hehe personally sent Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, out of the Cloud Star Merchant Building.

There wasn’t any dog blood or anything like that.

As the largest business building in Cloud Star City, Cloud Star Business Building naturally has their own bottom line and integrity.

Of course.

The most important thing in this was that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, both displayed late Jindan cultivation.

This was enough to dispel certain unrealistic fantasies of the other party.

After all, a mere three million spirit stones were not worth the appearance of a YuanYing cultivator.

Even if it was a False Infant Cultivator, he wouldn’t venture out before he could figure out the other party’s bottom line.

In short, the pay and gain is not proportional, and the risk to be faced is too great.

Cloud Star Merchant House is naturally happy to abide by the rules of business.

As for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they were even less interested in engaging in law enforcement fishing.

A few days later.

The two of them were heatedly on a ship that was heading inland to Tian Cang Zhou.

Unlike the Nine Yuan Immortal Cultivation Realm, the entire Star Yuan Immortal Cultivation Realm was divided into a total of eight states.

The scope of each state was comparable to a large domain in the Nine Yuan Immortal Cultivation Realm.

From this, it could also be seen that the scope of the Star Elemental Immortal Cultivation Realm was undoubtedly much larger than the Nine Yuan Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Right now, the Tiancang State that Jiang Chengxuan and the others were traveling to was the fifth largest state in the entire Xingyuan Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Among them were the Long Sky Sacred Land and the Traceless Sacred Land, two God Transformation level forces.

In the Star Elemental Immortal Cultivation Realm, however, any sects and clans that had a God Transformation Heavenly Monarch in their midst would be labeled as holy lands.

Such as the Long Sky Holy Land, the Traceless Holy Land, or the so-and-so Family Holy Land and so on.

As for why they didn’t choose to fly inland alone at the moment, but instead chose to take a flotilla of ships.

There wasn’t any too special reason, it was purely because they wanted to take a walk along the way.

By the way, in the process, from other people’s mouths, they learned some common sense and basic news.

“Fellow Daoists, I am Qi Wanlai of Bamboo Pine Island, may I ask you two if you are also traveling to that Heavenly Cang Prefecture for the purpose of that Flood River Secret Realm this time?”

Right at this moment, a man wearing a black and white striped tunic, who couldn’t help but have a smile on his face, arrived in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and opened his mouth by actively cupping his fists to them.

Hearing his words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were just stunned in their hearts.

What Flood River Secret Realm, they didn’t know at all.

The two didn’t bother to disguise themselves too much.

With their cultivation strength at their level, there was simply no need to do so many flashy things.

The reason why they suppressed their cultivation in the Jindan realm, for the sake of, also just don’t want in the beginning, will be too much attention.

But this doesn’t mean that they are doing things to cater to the demeanor of the Jindan level in every way.

So in the next moment, they heard Shen Ruyan beside Jiang Chengxuan directly say:

“Dare I ask this fellow Daoist Qi, the Honghe Secret Realm you mentioned, what is that place? Is there any saying about it?”

“Uh……?”

Perhaps it was not expected that Shen Ruyan’s way of speaking, would be so direct, and there really wasn’t even the slightest hint of concealment, fearing that others wouldn’t know that they were coming from out of town.

It made him unconsciously just slightly stunned.

A bitter smile soon appeared on his face.

“It seems that the two of you should have come from those places in the Northern Lands, right? No wonder you don’t know about that Flood River Secret Realm.”

With that, he spoke the general situation of that Flood River Secret Realm with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

The so-called Honghe Secret Realm was a secret realm that was jointly ruled by the Longkong Holy Land and the Traceless Holy Land.

The secret realm would open once every hundred years.

Every time it opened, it lasted for about half a year.

And during this period, the number of people who enter must reach a certain threshold before they can do so.

If it is not reached, the secret realm will close early.

This was also the main reason why the two holy places, why they would open it up to them, the outer sect cultivators.

“So that’s how it is.”

Hearing Qi Wanlai’s account of that Flood River Secret Realm, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but both nod in a daze.

“In that case, if we want to enter that Flood River Secret Realm, there should also be conditions, right?”

“Not bad.”

Qi Wanlai seemed to have somewhat adapted to the couple’s way of speaking at this time, and he couldn’t help but continue nodding at his words.

“For us foreign cultivators, if we want to enter that Flood River Secret Realm, we will first have to submit a fourth-ranked spirit item to the two holy lands.

Depending on how treasured the spiritual object is, thus arranging the time for you to enter that secret realm.

In addition, when you come out of the secret realm, you also need to hand over 30% of the treasures you obtained in the secret realm to each of the two holy lands.

In other words, you can only get a maximum of 40% yourself.”

“That much?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both a bit surprised.

“In that case, are there still that many people who chose to enter the Honghe Secret Realm?”

Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but be a little curious.

One must know that at the beginning of entering that Flood River Secret Realm, those who chose to enter would first have to surrender a fourth-ranked spiritual object.

And most importantly, things like exploring the secret realm, that had to depend on some luck.

If the luck is good, if the luck is not good, even if there is nothing to be gained, that is also a very normal thing.

“Of course.”

Qi Wanlai, however, nodded.

“It’s because within that Flood River’s secret territory, there are baby-forming spirit creatures that exist.

Moreover, if you really obtained the Infant-forming Spirit Item, you only need to turn in something equivalent to 60% of the value of the item you obtained.

Regardless of whether it’s the Long Hollow Holy Land or the Traceless Holy Land, they won’t forcefully plunder what you have to keep.”

“In that case, that would be alright.”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were very clear about what kind of status that Infant-Bearing Spirit Item had for Jindan cultivators.

“Come, come, Fellow Daoist Qi, continue to tell us what else you know within that Heavenly Cang Prefecture.”

Then he saw Jiang Chengxuan raise his hand.

In front of the three of them, a jade table suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterward, on top of that jade table, a teapot appeared.

There was a gust of hot air bubbling from the mouth of the kettle, and it emitted a gust of fresh fragrance.

Qi Wanlai originally wanted to find an excuse to leave, but as soon as he smelled the fragrance, his spirit was immediately shaken.

Because in this instant, he clearly felt that his own divine sense, under the moisturizing of that fragrance, had vaguely, as if, seemingly, strengthened by a tiny bit.

What kind of tea is this?

The mere emergence of a clear fragrance actually had this kind of miraculous effect.

Then if he could take a sip of it, wouldn’t it be able to directly strengthen his Divine Sense?
Without waiting for him to continue thinking deeply, Jiang Chengxuan had already pushed a cup of poured tea in front of Qi Wanlai and said with a smile:
“Fellow Daoist Qi can try this Strong God Tea of mine, I think it shouldn’t disappoint you.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan had already made a please gesture to Qi Wanlai.

Seeing this, Qi Wanlai couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

At that moment, he picked up the tea and put it to his mouth before taking a sip.

In an instant, an extremely cool breath suddenly extended from his throat, all the way to his limbs, and finally merged into the center of his brow.

Allowing his divine sense to actually grow a tiny bit stronger at this moment.

“This tea ……”

Qi Wanlai suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan with some surprise.

Immediately afterward, he could no longer care about anything else and drank several mouthfuls in a row.

At this moment, Qi Wanlai could clearly feel that his divine sense was already more than one level stronger than before.

What kind of tea is this, for Divine Sense, how could it have such a powerful increase effect?
“Hehe, how is it? This tea feels pretty good, right?”

Jiang Chengxuan laughed while filling another cup for Qi Wanlai once again.

“Drink more if you like it.

I only hope that Fellow Daoist Qi won’t forget to speak with us again about the matters within the Heavenly Cang State.”

It was just that the commotion on his side was naturally impossible not to attract the attention of the others on the ship.

He saw two big burly men whose cultivation was in the late Jindan stage, suddenly, they were all gazing towards Jiang Chengxuan and their side.

“Not good!”

Noticing the gazes of the two burly men, Qi Wanlai, who was about to continue drinking his tea, immediately had a slight change of color.

He couldn’t help but look towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan with a somewhat bitter smile and spoke:

“Fellow Daoists, you shouldn’t have directly taken out this kind of thing here.”

“Well ……”

Seeing that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t seem to care, Qi Wanlai couldn’t help but transmit his voice to the two of them:
“Those two people just now, are two brothers who are quite famous in this Vast Sea Domain of ours.

Zhu Beiyuan and Zhu Beihong.

Although on the surface, the two brothers do not see anything.

However, those who knew them knew that behind their backs, the two brothers were the existence of what was known as the King of the Sea.

The meaning of that, I think the two of you should be able to understand.”

“Oh, really?”

However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s reaction once again caused Qi Wanlai to freeze.

Looking at them, it was clear that they hadn’t taken what he had just said, or rather, hadn’t put that Zhu family brother in their eyes.

This made him finally unable to hold back and look deeply at the two.

At that moment, he simply stopped mentioning this matter, and instead, at the request of the two of them, he spoke with them about some other news about that day in the Cang Zhou.

According to Qi Wanlai, in a short while, within that Heavenly Cang Prefecture, a YuanYing level Dao Discussion Conference would be held.

At that time, not only would the YuanYing True Lords from the Long Sky Holy Land and the Traceless Holy Land go over.

Even the YuanYing True Monarchs from other great states would also go there.

In addition to that.

In a place called Moonlight City in that Heavenly Cang Prefecture, it seemed that a mega auction was going to be held.

As for the specific things that will be auctioned at that time, it is not something that his district Bow Qi Wan Lai can know.

In addition to these two news, Qi Wanlai also with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan them, said some other news.

Let Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan for that day Cangzhou within some of the situation, suddenly have a more three-dimensional understanding.

“Several people, do you mind if we sit here as well?”

Right at this moment, the two brothers of the Zhu Family, who had previously looked over to their side from time to time, suddenly came over to Jiang Chengxuan’s side.

Making Qi Wanlai, who was located opposite Jiang Chengxuan and the others, change his expression again.

On the contrary, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were still drinking their own tea.

This, however, caused the faces of the two brothers of the Zhu family to not be able to help but sink slightly.

Only to hear the eldest Zhu Beiyuan say: ”Two of you, what? Is this not welcoming us?
Or is it that you have a problem with the two of us brothers?”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally turned their heads to look at them.

He heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “Who are you guys and why do you want us to welcome you?

YuanYing True Monarchs, or Harmonized God Heavenly Monarchs?”

Without waiting for the two Zhu Family brothers to answer, Jiang Chengxuan continued:
“Since you’re neither, you have the nerve to shout at us.

Get lost.”

The sentence “Get lost” instantly caused the faces of the two Zhu Family brothers to become completely gloomy.

But I don’t know if it was because they were concerned about the rules of being on this ship, or something else.

Surprisingly, the two brothers didn’t snap on the spot, but instead, with a rather grim gaze, they looked deeply at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan before turning to leave.

And this, also let the opposite side of the Qi Wanlai is completely speechless.

These two people, in the end, from where out of the “second generation ancestor”, how to speak and do things are so reckless?
They still try not to get too close to them, so as not to be implicated by them.

As if he could see Qi Wanlai’s thoughts at this time, Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded at him.

“Fellow Daoist Qi, thank you very much for that information you just provided.

Seeing as how it’s already late, if there’s nothing else, let’s say goodbye for now.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan had already put away those things in front of him.

Qi Wanlai would be happy to do the same, and upon hearing this, he immediately nodded with a smile and said:
“In that case, then the two of you will see each other next time.

As it happens, I have some other things to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After saying that, Qi Wanlai turned around and walked towards the other side.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would not say anything more.

They soon returned together to one of their luxurious cabins here.

From their current location, traveling to Tian Cang Prefecture would take several months at the earliest.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, in the following period of time, naturally wouldn’t just stay in the cabin, but instead utilized their own ways to inquire about the information they needed to know from the people in the flotilla.

This day.

Seeing that this flotilla they were in was about to dock.

The Zhu Clan brothers, who had clashed with Jiang Chengxuan and the others before, finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

He heard his younger brother Zhu Beihong say: ”Brother, our flotilla is about to dock, do you think we should go after them directly now, or wait until we get ashore before we go after them?
I have already looked for those people who have specialized in understanding, these two people, definitely came from the Northern Land or the Extreme East Land, and have no understanding of our side of the situation at all.

The most important thing is, just these days, the things they took out, almost every piece is a fine product.

That’s just what we’ve seen, what we haven’t seen, in their case, we still don’t know how many.

If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know how long we’ll have to wait again if we want to come across someone like this next time.”

For his brother’s words, Zhu Beiyuan also recognized them from the bottom of his heart.

Although finding targets like Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to start with would inevitably require taking some risks afterward.

But if it could be handled cleanly.

Especially if it was possible to get certain good things from them that were routinely unobtainable, even if one had to take some risks, it would be worth it.

At that moment, he heard Zhu Beiyuan say:
“In that case, we’ll wait until we dock, then we’ll unite everyone together.” (End of chapter)
