Cultivation starts with taming beasts

The little girl was a little scared when she heard it, but when she saw the smile on Qi Yunxian's face, she curled her lips and said, "Brother Qi, you are lying. The monsters can't eat me on the boat. Even if there are monsters, I am not afraid because I have Huizi to protect me." The little girl became more and more confident and pointed at Huizi on her head. During this period, Huizi, as the close bodyguard of the two children, was familiar with them. He even allowed the two children to touch his feathers when he was happy. "It seems that Huizi is still very qualified as a bodyguard!" "That's right, Huizi is the best." Fang Siyue said proudly, and the little skylark Huizi also raised his head proudly and chirped happily. Three days later, Qingzhu Island, Neiwan Port. "Fellow Daoist Qi, this is really not possible! We haven't had any spiritual ships to Baiyun Island recently. Why don't you go to other shops and ask?"

A cultivator said with a smile on his face.

Qi Yunxian was a little helpless when he heard this. He could drive a spiritual boat for short distances, but it was too risky to drive a long distance on the sea. In addition, he was with two children, so he naturally chose to take a large spiritual ship on the nearby spiritual island.

Unfortunately, this second-level island called Qingzhu Island has no spiritual ships that go directly to Baiyun Island recently. This is the third merchant he has asked.

"Oh, to be honest, Manager Liu, I have asked several shops why there are no spiritual ships passing through Baiyun Island. Can you give me some pointers? It's just a small token of respect."

While Qi Yunxian was talking, he took out more than 20 low-grade spiritual stones and pushed them over.

Manager Liu took the spirit stone calmly and said,

"Fellow Daoist Qi, don't ask, there will be no spirit ship heading in that direction for the time being."

"Oh, why is that?"

Qi Yunxian asked with some doubt,

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you don't know, that sea route is a little unsafe recently, many major events have happened one after another, so no one dares to take the risk to take this route for the time being."

Manager Liu paused here, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention, and then lowered his voice and said,

"Fellow Daoist Qi, do you know about the Longmen Gorge incident that shocked the sea area a few years ago?"

Qi Yunxian was shocked when he heard this, how could he know that he was even an experiencer of the incident.

"Of course I know. What does this have to do with your suspension of operations?"

"Of course it is related. The Loose Cultivator Alliance was massacred that day, which was a blow to the reputation of Black Water Gate. After that, Black Water Gate investigated for a long time but could not find the murderer. I thought it was another unsolved case. Unexpectedly, the group of people took action again. The target was actually Black Water Gate's cargo merchant ships. They simply did not take Black Water Gate seriously at all."

"Oh, what was the result?"

Manager Liu laughed sarcastically,

"Of course they succeeded, otherwise Black Water Gate would not have forcibly closed the nearby Sea area, ready to find the group of ghost-faced robbers bit by bit, which is also the reason why our spirit ships cannot pass through here. Either we spend effort to travel far and take an unreliable route, or we can only wait for the Black Water Gate to be unsealed.

But don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qi, the Black Water Gate can't be sealed for too long, it will be unsealed again in a year or two at most, you might as well wait for a few days, I will inform you when there is news. "

Qi Yunxian was a little speechless when he heard this. What's the point of going back in a year or two? By then, the family competition would have ended long ago.

"I have an urgent matter and must rush back to Baiyun Island. I wonder if Manager Liu has a way?"

He took out a dozen spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them over. Manager Liu took them and took out his jade talisman to operate.

At first he was frowning, but after a while he smiled,

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you are really lucky. The Qingzhu Chamber of Commerce just happened to have a merchant ship heading to Baiyun Island. You can take this ship to Baiyun Island."

"But didn't fellow Daoist say that the Black Water Gate has blocked the sea area and does not allow spirit ships to pass through?"

Qi Yunxian asked with some doubts,

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you don't know that although the Black Water Gate is overbearing, some forces have to give face, and the Qingzhu Chamber of Commerce, as the largest force in Qingzhu Island, also has some face. As long as they accept the inspection of the Black Water Gate when passing through this sea area, they can pass through. Cross that sea area.

However, it may be difficult for Fellow Daoist Qi to board this merchant ship, after all, Qingzhu Chamber of Commerce will not let strangers board the ship. If Fellow Daoist Qi is willing to spend the spirit stones, I have some connections that can help you get what you want. "

Liu Guanshi said with a smile,

"Okay, but I have to say that I am not going to board the ship alone, and there are two younger generations who want to board the ship together. I wonder if it can be done, and how much it will cost?"

Qi Yunxian asked,

"Is that so? Let me ask?"

Liu Guanshi operated the contact jade talisman in his hand, and his expression seemed a little tangled."Fellow Daoist Qi, you are in trouble. If you were alone, it would be fine, but you are bringing two juniors with you. It is really difficult to sneak into the merchant ship. However, it is not impossible. It just happens that the merchant ship lacks guards. I think fellow Daoist Qi has a good cultivation level, so you can go and give it a try."

An hour later,

Qi Yunxian successfully passed the assessment of the Qingzhu Chamber of Commerce and successfully joined the temporary guard team of the merchant ship.

Originally, things would not be so smooth. After all, recruiting guards not only depends on cultivation level, but also requires cultivators with clean backgrounds. However, when the assessment supervisor knew that Qi Yunxian was a direct descendant of the Qi family of Baiyun Island, he decisively welcomed him to join.

You must know that the Qi family is not inferior to the immortal cultivation family of the Qingzhu Chamber of Commerce, and the main trading partner of the merchant ship this time, the Qi family of Baiyun Island is one of them.

In addition, Qi Yunxian's cultivation level is not low, so it is no surprise that he joined the merchant ship.

Qingzhu Island is more than 7,000 nautical miles away from Baiyun Island. If you go all out to reach Baiyun Island, it will only take a few days. Unfortunately, this is a merchant ship, and it needs to stop at many places to trade goods. According to the merchant ship's time list, it will arrive at Baiyun Island in about a month, provided that nothing unexpected happens.

Qingzhu Chamber of Commerce is the largest force on Qingzhu Island, with more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators, including two great cultivators. Unfortunately, these are not the forces of one family, but the collection of all forces on the island.

The strongest among them are the Zhao and Qing families with great cultivators. The young master of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiaotang, who has a high-grade spiritual root and a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation, is in charge of the merchant ship this time.

"You mean, Uncle Qing has recruited another unknown cultivator as a guard?"

Zhao Xiaotang was sitting in a room somewhere in the cabin, listening to the report from his subordinate Zhao Er, and she had a headache. She was not unaware that some people used merchant ships to make profits for themselves and took some outsiders.

She had turned a blind eye to it before, but if the Black Water Gate really found something on their merchant ship this time, it would be troublesome. According to her ancestor, the Black Water Gate was serious this time.

"Do you know where they came from?"

"It is said that they are from the Qi family of Baiyun Island, and they want to use the merchant ship to return to Baiyun Island. They are at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and they are bringing two mortal children with them!"

Zhao Er said truthfully.
