Stepping into Dong Qingran's cave for the second time, Ling Xiao found that there was a bit more fireworks here than four years ago.
The tables, chairs and benches are a little older, there are more tea sets, and some philodendrons are planted on the stone walls, with small flowers blooming.
Also, several new rooms have been built, divided into quiet rooms, bedrooms and other areas. It is no longer a monotonous hall that can be seen at a glance.
Lying on this brand new bed, Ling Xiao stared at the ceiling.
The golden velvet quilt had a sun-kissed smell, reminding him of the scorching sun on the sea.
"Are you still worried about Miss June?"
She hugged him and gently smoothed his frown.
"The Dragon Clan always protects its shortcomings and attaches great importance to its people. Now that Miss Yue Yue has returned to the Dragon Clan, I don't expect there will be any danger. In the future, when her cultivation level is high, she may come out to find you."
She caressed his face and spoke softly of relief.
Ling Xiao smiled, held her hand, and said, "June is a waste of time and nerves. I'm not thinking about it anymore. I'm thinking about the next plan."
"What's the plan?" she asked.
"Go to sea." Ling Xiao muttered.
She twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and leaned against him lovingly.
"Overseas is indeed a treasure trove, but it is also accompanied by huge dangers. No one knows how many unknown things there are in that vast world. Miss June is not by your side. It is too dangerous for you to go alone."
"But the improvement is also the biggest." Ling Xiao said.
Dong Qingran smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said nothing more.
She was well aware of Ling Xiao's stubborn temperament. Once a decision was made, it would be extremely difficult to change it, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
"Have you refined your magic weapon? I have collected some materials over the years..."
The two of them whispered, and gradually stopped talking about other people, and they stopped talking about cultivation matters.
Today, there is only each other.
…
Although he decided to go to sea to sharpen his skills, Ling Xiao had no plans to set off immediately.
In the following time, he and Dong Qingran went down the mountain hand in hand and traveled around.
During the day, follow the pictures and enjoy the scenic spots.
At night we lay on the ground and in the sky, talking to each other.
Forget the arduous tasks, ignore the unknown future, and only seek the joy of the moment.
The two of them walked hand in hand and visited every corner of Wuxiao Kingdom, and then went further afield, even to the Dusk Grassland, and returned to the ruins of the Stone Array, where they lived for a while as if they were home.
In the middle, there are inevitably some twists and turns and disputes with people, but for the two Jindan monks, it is just like the spices during the trip, adding a little fun.
Ling Xiao also wiped out several secretive branches of the Red Sect.
Because the two often walked around wearing masks, over time, the reputation of the Fox and Rabbit Shuangsha gradually spread. Later, even the Chunyang Sword Sect was asking where the two powerful Jindan cultivators came from.
Piles, piles, piles, and so on.
Five years passed by in a blink of an eye.
At the foot of Wuxiao Mountain, Ling Xiao and Dong Qingran reluctantly said goodbye, taking Xiaogua on a new journey.
After a full year of walking and stopping, Ling Xiao returned to the seaside.
…
Pray for the wind to gather, pray for the wind to listen.
Pray for the wind to blow up the sails, and pray for the wind to bring good tides.
Pray for the wind to bring news about your husband, and pray for the wind to send your son home.
Pray for the wind to gather and pray for the wind to stop.
Pray for the wind not to bring clouds, and pray for the wind to disperse the rain.
Pray for the wind to stop the waves, pray for the wind to stabilize the boat.
…
Ling Xiao stood at the entrance of Qifengji, looking at the short sentences on the archway, and remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Gua stood on the left side with his hands down, staring at Zhu Que for a while, feeling bored, and then looked at the flow of people coming and going in the market.
"Master, I didn't expect us to come back so soon." She felt a lot.
There were three of us when we left, but one less person when we came back.
Ling Xiao stopped thinking and smiled: "Yes, it's so fast."
There was no one praying for wind in the gathering, and there was a tense atmosphere.
On the way here, Ling Xiao had already heard that the war between the Dragon Star Dynasty and the Hai Clan was still not over, and he was getting more and more anxious.
This is exactly why he chose to come back to Qifengji.
During war, arms are expensive.
"Let's go and take a walk."
Ling Xiao took Xiaogua into various shops. After walking around, he made some small gains and consigned ten third-level talismans.
There was no reference standard on the market, so Ling Xiao simply placed it higher. In the past, he could get a few thousand spiritual stones, but he directly placed ten thousand spiritual stones.
Ling Xiao has no idea whether it can be sold.
It's time to cast stone and ask for directions, let's explore the price first.
In the next few days, Ling Xiao stayed in Qifengji, collecting information on the maritime battlefield.
During the war, monks were strictly restricted from going to sea. They must have a pass issued by the Dragon Star Dynasty before they could move at sea.
If you wander around the sea alone without a pass, you will be killed as a monster in disguise.
There are two ways to obtain a pass.
The first is to give money. Once the money is in place, the certificate will be in place.
The second is to enlist in the army. When your military merit reaches a certain level, you can receive a pass and leave the army to move freely.
To put it bluntly, either pay money to the Dragon Star Dynasty or sell your life to the Dragon Star Dynasty.
Of course, whether it is paying money or working hard, those who are willing to get a pass are those who have strong confidence in their own strength and are sure to get a piece of the pie through this war.
You know, the sea is now being ravaged by heavy weapons of war every day, and submarine earthquakes occur frequently. Many of the secret treasures in the sea in the past have been shattered and their restrictions have been shattered. They unexpectedly appeared in the world, triggering countless people to rob them.
If you can win a treasure, you will at least save decades of struggle!
In the past few years, legends of getting rich overnight have been heard from time to time, and everyone who hears them is yearning for it.
Ling Xiao was also moved.
However, after asking around, he couldn't find out how much money a Jindan monk had to pay to obtain a pass.
The stronger you are, the more expensive the pass is.
This is normal. Those who go to sea with passes are all crazy people who want money rather than their lives. If you take action at sea, no matter you are a human or a monster, if you block my way of making money, you will be treated as an enemy.
Some would even join forces to attack the Dragon Star Dynasty's supply team.
The Dragon Star Dynasty was already struggling to deal with the Hai Clan. They had no time to take care of these troublemakers, so they could only collect money in advance to make up for the losses.
The stronger the strength, the more expensive it is.
Who makes you so destructive?
Who knows if you will destroy me?
However, those who dare to attack the Dragon Star Dynasty army are only a few.
All in all, over the past few years, the Dragon Star Dynasty must have made money.
After Ling Xiao hesitated, he decided to go to the place where the passes were distributed.
If the price is affordable and acceptable, then buy one.
There was finally good news before he left. The third-level talisman he was selling on consignment was bought by someone, and naturally, there were many more requests to buy third-level talismans in the market.
After Ling Xiao saw these commissions, he smiled slightly, turned around and consigned five third-level talismans for 12,000 yuan.
I have no other intention, I just want to test your bottom line.
A few days later.
Ling Xiao stopped his escaping light on the coast, and he saw the majestic Dragon Star Camp dozens of miles away.
