Chapter 329: Meeting Yunzhou Again
Chapter 329: Meeting Yunzhou Again
The East China Sea is vast and majestic. A python monster with wings of wind and thunder cuts through the sky, galloping between heaven and earth, cutting through the waves.
On the back of the demon python, strands of electric light were swirling. Li Quanqing was sitting quietly, his robe fluttering in the wind. He had long been accustomed to the task of rushing across the boundless ocean.
Behind him, two young boys and girls were looking around curiously. It was the first time for them to leave their family and they had never seen such a vast world.
Especially the little girl Li Jinlian, whose mind is not yet mature.
Even if they see whales coming up from the sea to breathe, they will scream and dance with excitement.
In comparison, Li Jinhan was much more stable, with a sword on his back and a graceful figure in white clothes, but his eyes were much more lively and his brows were eager to move.
The Wind and Thunder Python broke through the clouds and flew towards the Shuihua Sea as instructed. After crossing thousands of miles of sea, it finally successfully arrived at its destination.
"The Sword Sect has arrived."
Li Quanqing lowered his eyes and watched a familiar sword edge rising from the ground, steep and tall, piercing deep into the clouds, stirring up the wind and clouds.
Ancient buildings are located between the islands and stand on the mountain peaks. They are ancient and should carry the weight and heritage of history.
But when he looked at it again this time, he felt only a sense of desolation and defeat. The palaces were empty and there were very few monks.
Even most of the palaces were empty, overgrown with weeds, and the blue tiles were covered with dust. Even the formations with flashing spiritual light were not activated to save the consumption of spirit stones.
After losing those dozens of spirit stone mines, the Shuihua Sword Sect's finances had already been tight, making it difficult to support too many sect monks.
In addition, the nearby Jindan sects such as the Yanyue Sect and the Biwu Sect, with the tacit approval of the Li family, blatantly came to Qingyu Sea to recruit disciples, occupying a large share of the Sword Sect's original share of disciples.
As a result, this thousand-year-old sect has become increasingly decadent and dilapidated, and has become old and weak, no longer having the grandeur that once attracted thousands of immortals to pay homage.
"Is this where my father lives?"
Li Jinlian was a little afraid of heights. She held on to the scales on the Wind and Thunder Python's wings and stood up carefully, looking at the Shuihua Sword Island with complicated eyes.
He was a little confused. This sect was so dilapidated and could not be compared with his own Qingyu Cave Heaven.
Why is his father always unwilling to come back to see him?
"Do you want to go in and take a look? Uncle Quan Geng should not be in seclusion, maybe we can meet him."
Li Jinhan spoke softly, and her always tense face now revealed a hint of girlish tenderness.
Li Jinlian bit her lip, but finally shook her head, her little face a little stubborn, and rejected the proposal.
"Then let's go."
Li Quanqing said the last sentence, and seeing that the little guy did not waver, he stopped talking, mobilized the Wind and Thunder Python, and turned away.
Sensing the young man's depressed mood, he deliberately slowed down the speed of the Wind and Thunder Python and did not rush as fast as before.
Fortunately, Li Jinlian quickly adjusted herself and started chattering, calling "sister" all the time, looking like a carefree and optimistic person.
The sea breeze blew gently, making their faces itchy. The two little ones discussed excitedly and finally reached a consensus to fly towards the mainland.
In their eyes, compared to the cruelty and bloodiness of the monsters in the outer sea, the mysterious continent is undoubtedly more attractive.
To the young boys, the continent seemed like a huge island that was endless and seemed to have no end. It was truly full of wonders.
Li Quanqing naturally agreed readily. He was also very interested in the vast land in the distance, which he had not seen since he traveled through time.
The demon python controlled the wind and thunder and flew towards the western sea according to the will of its master, which was the direction of the continent.
Unexpectedly, before they completely flew out of the Qingyu Sea, the three of them saw another strange sight: a sky-covering warship that looked like a cloud island slowly approached.
"What a huge cloud! There's actually a palace built on it, and there are so many people!"
Li Jinlian opened her mouth wide, tilted her little head back, and exclaimed involuntarily, her eyes widened.
"If you are ignorant, read more. This is the Yun family's Xiaoyao Tianzhou. It travels between the East China Sea and the mainland for trade, and it often takes many years for it to come back." Li Jinhan was much more knowledgeable and easily recognized the origin of this warship. There was also a lot of curiosity in his eyes.
"Go up and have a look?"
Li Quanqing suggested that the ship had traveled millions of miles and might be aware of many dangerous sea areas that were shrouded in thunderstorms all year round.
"Okay, okay! I fully agree!"
Li Jinlian raised her arms excitedly and spoke in a cheerful tone. Li Jinhan also nodded in agreement and wanted to board the cloud boat to find out what was going on.
The Wind and Thunder Python roared and followed closely behind the Xiaoyao Cloud Boat. They did not do business during the journey.
Soon, the cloud boat stopped not far from a foundation-building sect, and slowly descended with a loud roar, activating the formation to do business in all directions.
Li Quanqing and the other two floated down and walked into the Yunzhou market.
With the foundation-building monster accompanying them and the green jade Li robes they were wearing, they immediately attracted many respectful and prying eyes, and many shop owners were looking at them cautiously.
Fortunately, Li Quanqing had been in seclusion for a long time, and these Qi-refining cultivators did not recognize him at all, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Go and have fun, don't worry about me."
Li Quanqing stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Wind and Thunder Python immediately used its magical power to change size as it wished, transforming into the size of an ordinary giant python, and closely followed the two little ones to protect their safety.
After getting rid of these two little tails, Li Quanqing felt much lighter. He blended into the crowd and felt the long-lost lively atmosphere.
He didn't need to enter the store; with a scan of his spiritual sense, he could see through the treasures stored inside and look for gadgets that he found interesting.
Unfortunately, in his eyes at this moment, many of them are garbage.
After walking through the streets, Li Quanqing finally came to the area where monsters were sold, and a wave of memories came to his mind.
It was here that he got two big cats, the Golden Flame Tiger and the Stepping Cloud Snow Leopard, and had many good memories.
Needless to say, Jin Yanhu is his favorite tiger cub. Taoyun Snow Leopard has also been working hard in recent years and is striving to break through the shackles of foundation building under the training of Bingfeng.
Li Quanqing stepped into this street of monsters, but was still disappointed. Ninety-nine percent of them were Qi-refining monsters.
Even if there are a few of them with the potential for foundation-building bloodlines, they are not very attractive and do not have much value in training.
For him, only those who have a chance to break through the golden elixir bottleneck will really arouse his interest.
Otherwise, he might as well raise more golden-patterned jade carp, throw them into the dragon pond for metamorphosis, and harvest green-horned fish dragons, which would be more cost-effective.
Li Quanqing came with full of hope, but left in disappointment in the end. He walked into the largest intelligence building in Yunzhou with no interest.
"My dear guest, you want to visit the dangerous sea area where thunderstorms often break out along the way?"
The steward in the building looked at the great monk in front of him cautiously, nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, there are such sea areas, and there are quite a lot of them. I will send you the detailed information right away."
Soon, one jade slip after another was presented on a jade plate, neatly arranged and catalogued. It was exactly the information he wanted.
The steward said respectfully: "My boss said that this information is given to you for free, just as a token of goodwill."
Li Quanqing didn't care about these, so he threw out a few medium-grade spirit stones and began to browse through the jade slips.
The human territory of the East China Sea is millions of miles long and almost boundless. There are naturally many difficulties and obstacles, and natural barriers are frequent. Thunderstorms are one of the most common ones.
Li Quanqing carefully stroked the jade slip, and suddenly raised his eyebrows when he saw a piece of information that quite interested him.
