The Endless Sea Domain stretched boundlessly, and in its very center, Transford Demons could surface at any mont.
Lu Qingling steered the treasure ship, speeding along while waves shattered in its wake. Beneath the water, a dark shadow slipped through, trailing the ship at a asured distance.
Inside the treasure ship, Jiang Shu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His formidable spiritual power continuously assaulted Master Xuan Shui’s storage bag.
In truth, back when he was in the secret chamber, after turning the tables on Master Xuan Shui, he could have tried to open the storage bag then.
But since the inheritance had originally been discovered by Lu Qingling, he had to consult her first if he wanted to open it.
*He was no longer that frog at the bottom of the well back in the Da Jing Dynasty.*
There might have been a lot of resources in Master Xuan Shui’s storage bag, but if given enough ti, he could have gathered them himself anyway.
"Brother Jiang, I just took a look. In Master Xuan Shui’s Divine Power Pill, there are about ten Divine Skills that I need. I’m not in a rush to cultivate, I’ve only just entered the late stage of the Furnace Fire Realm, so it’ll take quite a while to consolidate my realm."
"You go ahead and use the Divine Power Pill to refine Divine Skills, Brother Jiang."
After sorting through the thirty-odd Divine Skills in the Divine Power Pill, Lu Qingling placed the Divine Power Pill by Jiang Shu’s side and spoke.
The Divine Skills within the Divine Power Pill didn’t necessarily all need to be refined.
To cultivators of the Furnace Fire Realm, it wasn’t about having more Divine Skills; what mattered was having a system. Disciples from major sects had Primordial Pills with all kinds of combinations that created synergistic effects.
But it was different for Loose Cultivators. The thods they obtained were often scattered and patchy—either they had too few skills that were mostly useless, or so many that they were disordered and chaotic.
Master Xuan Shui was the latter type.
Of course, achieving a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Primordial Pill Realm and forging a formidable reputation among his peers ant Master Xuan Shui’s Divine Power Pill wasn’t completely worthless.
There were two Earth Rank Divine Powers, and among the other thirty-plus Spiritual Grade Divine Powers, quite a few were extrely useful in the Endless Sea Domain, even if their use was mostly for life-saving escapes.
"Are we almost to Fuhai City?"
With a flick of his hand, he stored the Divine Power Pill in his storage bag. Jiang Shu opened his eyes and happened to et a pair of limpid eyes sharp as water slicing through light.
"Mm."
Lu Qingling lowered her head, her gaze quickly darting away. "Brother Jiang, do you have enough Pure Essence Pills or Primordial Crystals? I have so more if not..."
An Earth Rank Beast Taming Bag cost as much as an average Earth-grade Treasure. Even if ordinary Furnace Fire Realm cultivators spent their life’s savings, they could never afford one.
But Lu Qingling was obviously not an ordinary Furnace Fire Realm cultivator. Her foundation was deep, easily rivaling inner sect disciples at the Primordial Pill Realm in so sects.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you again, Senior Sister Lu."
Jiang Shu nodded in response. Nearly all the resources at hand had beco cultivation rations for him. Whenever he got Pure Essence Pills or Primordial Crystals, he used them at the first opportunity to further his cultivation.
Those Pure Essence Pills that Master Ming Lei had so confidently claid would be enough to support one to the Primordial Pill Realm had long ago run out. Now, what Jiang Shu used ca entirely from the Dao Yi Sect disciples he had taken down.
The first stage of entering the Dao through martial arts, the Furnace Fire Realm, was where he needed to lay a Supre Dao Foundation.
"Don’t say that. Brother Jiang, you saved this ti. If I’d gone to claim the inheritance alone, Master Xuan Shui’s spiritual power would have caught right at the start—I wouldn’t even have had a chance to use the Great Teleportation Talisman."
Lu Qingling broke into a brilliant smile. The way she and Jiang Shu addressed each other by their own sect titles felt completely natural.
A quarter of an hour later.
The treasure ship slowed more and more until finally two shadows leapt out. Lu Qingling put the ship away into her storage bag.
Fuhai City stood on the precipice of the Endless Sea Domain, rich beyond asure. Here, all kinds of rare and extraordinary treasures could be bought.
Among them, the Wanhai Treasure Market was renowned even throughout the Cang Mang Domain.
No one knew how many disciples from major sects or Loose Cultivators traded all manner of resources at this very site.
"Fuhai City may look like just one city, but untold numbers of forces have taken root here. There are major sect disciples hiding their identities to gain experience; remnants of the Demon Path, from days past, lying low and amassing their strength."
"Of course, our True Martial Sect also has its own influence stationed here. However, since we’re traveling incognito this ti, we can’t conveniently visit. If you ever co here on your own in the future, Brother Jiang, you can reach out to them and learn quite a bit."
Leading Jiang Shu into the Wanhai Treasure Market, Lu Qingling gave him a steady-paced tour while explaining the details.
*Any force that wanted to expand would always need one thing: resources.*
The resources in Fuhai City all flowed from the Wanhai Treasure Market. Everything traded there incurred a steep tax—enough to arm Fuhai City’s soldiers.
The streets were paved with white stone, spotless. Lining both sides of the avenue, a multitude of shops stood tall, each more resplendent than the last, looking like giant palatial estates.
"There’s every kind of business in the Wanhai Treasure Market. The bigger the shop, the higher the markup on their treasures, but also the better the authenticity. As for the smaller shops, even though their prices may be lower, there tend to be all sorts of problems with their goods."
Cultivators wove through the marketplace. In the sky, True n at the Primordial Pill Realm stage flew overhead, lofty and imposing. If any happened to land in front of a shop, the maid at the entrance would instantly bow and usher them inside.
Following Lu Qingling at a steady pace, Jiang Shu didn’t say a word. He simply observed everything, committing it all to mory.
