Chapter 21 Spirit Boat
Chapter 21 Spirit Boat
Qingdu Island, one of the seven islands of the Li family, is the island with the largest number of mortals.
The island has vast waters and very few reefs, making it a natural deep-water ferry.
Every morning, large ships loaded with cargo would depart from here and head straight to Baoqingfang Market, where people came and went, making it quite bustling.
It was just dawn that day.
Li Quanqing had already stood up and paddled the fishing boat to the agreed location.
The sea breeze in the early morning was wet, cold, salty and fishy, and the thick fog rolled in like a fog monster with its mouth wide open, blowing straight into the harbor.
The sun hasn't even risen yet, but the dock is already bustling with activity, with many mortals carrying goods up and down, perhaps staying up all night.
Li Quanqing looked at these ordinary people who were as busy as ants. They seemed insignificant, but they were the ones who supported the prosperity of the world of immortal cultivation.
"Junior brother, you arrived quite early."
The waves were rippling, and Li Quanshu arrived rowing a boat as white as jade. She was wearing a lake blue fairy dress, looking bright and elegant.
"Senior sister is so generous that she even owns a spiritual boat."
Li Quanqing looked at the white jade boat under the girl and was slightly amazed.
This spiritual boat is about two or three meters huge. No one knows what material it is made of. Dense spiritual patterns and prohibitions cover every inch of the hull. It shines brightly and looks like a magical weapon of immortals.
Compared with this ship, Li Quanqing's broken fishing boat is no different from garbage.
"It's just a low-grade spiritual boat. It was bought second-hand. My senior sister was so distressed when she paid for the spiritual stones."
Li Quanshu stroked her black hair that was blown by the sea breeze and said half-seriously, with a slender figure and a sweet smile.
As a medium to large-sized magical instrument and a must-have for sea-going monks, the price of the spirit boat has always been very high.
Just talking about this spirit boat, the price can be over a hundred spirit stones.
Woohoo!
A low horn sounded, dull and powerful, echoing for a long time on the vast sea.
This is the signal that the family cargo ship is about to set sail.
The sound of the horn awakened the sleeping red sun, dispersed the thick fog, and revealed the huge monster that had been hidden in it.
It was also a spirit boat, but it was even bigger than a mountain. The towering hull stood before their eyes like a wall.
Endless restrictions flashed with aura, and the aura it exuded was terrifying and astonishing, making people feel suffocated as if they were facing a great monk in the foundation-building stage.
Second-order large spirit boat!
This was the first time that Li Quanqing saw such a huge creature, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
The formation on the hull was humming, and it was likely that any random attack would be comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
Ordinary people shouted and retreated to the dock, walking in groups of three or four, preparing to go home and sleep after their morning drink.
Their mission was accomplished, but the practitioners' journey had just begun.
Hundreds of Qi-refining monks piloted the boats and consciously gathered around the large spirit boat, like a school of fish guarding a giant whale.
Among them are members of the Li family as well as affiliated small families, all of whom are ready to take advantage of this opportunity.
"Junior brother, get on board!"
Li Quanshu patted his spirit boat and found there was plenty of space.
Li Quanqing was not pretentious. He left the fishing boat at the dock and stepped onto the white jade boat.
My feet feel as steady as if I were walking on land.
Woohoo!
The large spirit boat sounded the horn again, and the Qingyu Li family's fish and dragon flags were raised all over the hull, and it slowly set sail.
The white jade spirit boat was mixed in the fleet. A circle of spiritual light enveloped the hull. It rode the wind and waves. Even the incoming sea breeze became gentle, making others envious.
"Junior brother, you don't have a spiritual boat. If you go to Baoqingfang alone in the future, you can take this second-level spiritual boat, but the ticket is a little expensive."
Li Quanshu spoke up, showing understanding, not wanting the atmosphere in the boat to become too awkward.
Li Quanqing heard this and smiled without saying anything.
With his calm personality, he wouldn't have the interest to go out every day. He could have endless opportunities just by staying in the fish pond.
The mountain-like spirit boat slowly accelerated, making a rumbling sound as it crashed against the sea surface, leaving behind layers of white waves like mountains.
Baoqingfang is more than 3,800 miles away from Qingyu Islands, and can be reached in four hours. Li Quanshu's magic power alone is not enough to support the high-speed travel of the spirit boat.
She had anticipated this and took out a few spirit stones, preparing to press them into the groove in the center of the boat.
"I'll try."
Li Quanqing used water control techniques to manipulate the sea water on both sides of the ship.
The sea water in front of the spirit boat automatically parted, and huge waves formed at the stern, like a big hand pushing them forward quickly.
It was clearly just a basic spell, but in his hands it exerted a completely different and incredibly amazing power.
"What a brilliant way of performing the trick. He actually cultivated the water control technique to such an extent!"
Li Quanshu's eyes were full of surprise. In her opinion, this cousin was a genius who could do everything.
"The fourth level of Qi Refining."
The girl felt the aura of the boy's cultivation displayed to the fullest and sighed inwardly.
She had been struggling with this bottleneck for more than a year, and only broke through half a month ago after hard work.
Is the gap in spiritual roots really insurmountable?
The two of them took turns controlling the spirit boat, and whenever the magic power was consumed by more than 30%, another person would take over.
Although he was protected by the family fleet, Li Quanqing still played it safe.
Halfway through the journey, they unexpectedly encountered a second large spirit boat coming from the direction of Baoqingfang City, which showed that the Li family was very wealthy.
As it turned out, Li Quanqing was indeed worrying too much.
Thousands of miles of sea passed by in a flash without any accidents.
There are various islands scattered along the way. Some boats leave on their own, and new practitioners join in.
There were no blind robbers or monsters greedy for human flesh jumping out.
In this sea area of thousands of miles, the Qingyu Li family is the undisputed overlord.
No matter what kind of ghosts and monsters you are, once the Mountain Spirit Boat hits them, they will all turn into ashes.
Finally, a huge island with lush vegetation appeared at the end of the sight, and the green could be seen from a long distance away.
We’ve arrived at Baoqingfang Market.
There were still more than a hundred miles away from the market town. Li Quanshu used his magical power to pull the spirit boat around a corner and deviated from the course.
Li Quanqing had anticipated this.
The member of the Xie family was not in the market town, but lived on a nearby spiritual island.
Baoqingfang is surrounded by numerous islands and is a favorite cave for many monks, offering long-term rental services.
This is also Li Quanqing’s biggest dream, to buy an island of his own and live freely and at ease.
"My sister is a true descendant of the Xie family, and her status is not low. Junior brother, please don't lose your manners later."
Li Quanshu tidied up her appearance and reminded again.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I know what's going on."
Li Quanqing looked up and saw a bright red spot in the vast blue ocean.
It was an island planted with maple trees. It was square and shaped like a boat and was called Red Maple Island.
It is now late autumn, when the maple leaves are at their reddest, burning like flames, and the sight is dazzling when you get close.
"A distinguished guest has arrived. My master is already waiting."
Li Quanshu entered the island protection formation with the help of the token, and immediately two girls came up to him, with delicate and lovely looks.
“What a great place!”
Li Quanqing walked on the jade-paved path. The spiritual energy was abundant and the scenery was intoxicating. There was definitely a top-grade spiritual vein hidden there.
The rumbling sound of water came into my ears, and after turning a corner, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.
The waterfall falls like a jade belt, tumbling into the lake. Pavilions and towers on the shore lean against the water, which is quiet and pleasant.
A girl in a bright red robe sat in the pavilion, looking at them, and she was incredibly beautiful when she smiled:
"My two Taoist friends have come from afar. Please drink this cup to wash away the dust on your body!"
