Ying State is the largest state among the Five Great States.
The island count is well over a million.
When many islands are close together, they form archipelagos.
For example, the teor Islands, which have a vast area comparable to the eastern domain of Qing State.
The archipelagos’ distribution also divides power by family units.
This makes the mariti trade in Ying State extrely developed.
Often, rchant fleets cross hundreds of thousands of miles to trade with other archipelagos.
Trading minerals, Spiritual dicine, Sea Beast at, and even family-unique Pills and Magical Treasures from their respective islands.
Now, the teor Islands have an additional specialty: the Martial Arts Breathing Technique!
Due to the vast distances between states, a journey can take a year, and most families only visit once every ten years.
But within Ying State, trade between archipelagos is much simpler.
Almost every month, rchants set off from the teor Islands to trade with nearby archipelagos.
The closest archipelagos to the teor Islands are the Star Moon Islands and the Qingbi Islands.
They are fifty thousand and eighty thousand miles away respectively.
The largest force on Star Moon Islands is the Star Moon Alliance, whereas Qingbi Islands are governed by three Nascent Soul Clans.
Both are under the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
When the market for Breathing Techniques was saturated within the teor Islands, the Four Great Clans signed an agreent.
To sell Breathing Techniques to other archipelago forces.
Sell hundreds of copies of Breathing Techniques in a short ti.
This can yield profits of tens of millions, close to a hundred million Spirit Stones.
Of course, this is essentially exploiting an information gap.
The Martial Arts Breathing Technique isn’t valuable within the teor Islands but remains valuable in archipelagos tens of thousands of miles away.
The rchants’ profit-driven nature facilitated the distribution of these Breathing Techniques to other islands.
Lin Chen did not stop this.
In fact, this was one of his plans.
His goal is not just to spread the Martial Arts Breathing Technique within the teor Islands.
But to spread it throughout Ying State and even the Five Great States.
So that millions of mortals will practice this technique.
Once the Breathing Techniques reach other archipelagos, what happened in the teor Islands in recent years will repeat.
The Breathing Technique will devalue, cultivators will be the first to practice the Martial Arts Breathing Technique, establish martial halls, mortals will get familiar with it...
This is an inevitable process because there are too many Rubbing Copies of the Breathing Technique.
Even if I don’t sell it, others will.
The Martial Arts Breathing Technique spreads rapidly like a wildfire.
...
Three months later, Grey Stone Island.
Lin Chen received a ssage from True Man Fufeng, saying that in a few days, the Fufeng Clan’s fleet would depart from Fufeng Island for Qing State.
"Ten years, am I finally returning to that land..."
Lin Chen murmured.
The figures of his master, senior brothers, and those who mattered to Lin Chen are still vivid in his mind.
Lin Chen left Qing State ten years ago, spent ten years in the teor Islands, and now his wings have matured.
"It’s about ti to settle things with the Demon Sect..."
Besides seeking revenge against the Demon Sect, Lin Chen has another important reason for returning to Qing State.
To bring the Martial Arts Breathing Technique back to Qing State.
The millions of mortals and lower-level cultivators in Qing State are suffering from the demon cultivators’ harms.
They need the Breathing Technique and power more than the mortals in Ying State.
"Thankfully, there’s still ti..."
Lin Chen withdrew all his arrangents on Grey Stone Island and turned into an Escape Light towards Fufeng Island.
...
Several days later, Fufeng Island.
A huge Spiritual Boat is ready to depart.
On the Spiritual Boat, there are over a thousand cultivators, most are disciples of the Fufeng Clan, with so being loose cultivator sailors.
True Man Fufeng stands beside Lin Chen, and says in a low voice:
"Taoist Friend Lin, this voyage to Qing State is entrusted to you... I still need to oversee Fufeng Island."
Lin Chen nodded and replied:
"Brother Fufeng, rest assured, with there won’t be any trouble."
Mariti voyages are dangerous, and the Fufeng Clan’s accident rate is around ten percent.
The last accident led to the death of several children of True Man Fufeng, the clan’s Nascent Soul cultivators perished.
But it’s no exaggeration to say, with Lin Chen’s current strength, as long as he’s not unlucky enough to encounter Fifth Tier Demon Beasts.
Even Fourth Tier Sea Beasts can be slain easily by Lin Chen.
True Man Fufeng gave Lin Chen nurous instructions, then urged:
"Taoist Friend Lin, this ti Xing’Er and Chen’Er are accompanying you to Qing State, you must take good care of them."
"Here’s the route map, Xing’Er has a copy too... If you encounter danger, we’ll rely on you, Taoist Friend Lin."
True Man Fufeng handed over a rustic Compass.
Upon opening the Compass, a phantom map route unfolds.
This is the safe route the Fufeng Clan controls between Qing State and the teor Islands.
For a family, this is absolutely their most vital heritage.
It’s the foundation of the Fufeng Clan’s establishnt, saying its value is over a hundred million Spirit Stones would not be exaggeration.
A decade of association, True Man Fufeng trusts Lin Chen greatly, thus revealing the route to him.
Lin Chen receives the Compass, feeling warmhearted, and nods:
"Alright, True Man Fufeng, you have my assurance."
During the voyage, Fufeng Xingchen and his brother are in charge, they have traveled back and forth several tis, knowing how to handle various ergencies.
Lin Chen just needs to ensure the convoy’s safety and fend off Demon Beasts.
As the two conversed, a charming figure slipped in from outside the room.
"Grandfather, Brother Lin... I want to go to Qing State too!"
The person speaking was none other than Fufeng Xiaoya.
Upon hearing this, True Man Fufeng instinctively refused, "No way! You’re still too young, the last ti you ca to Ying State was a forced necessity..."
"This ti, you stay obediently on Fufeng Island! Only when you’ve broken through to the Late Period Golden Core can you join the voyage!"
