"Is that so..."
The monkey demon murmured to himself thoughtfully.
It turns out that Xue Junfeng did not obtain this top-grade metallic spirit stone and the fourth-grade mid-grade humanoid puppet through the channels of the Flashy Chamber of Commerce.
Instead, there was once a poor and independent cultivator who sold a shabby treasure map to the Glorious Chamber of Commerce.
The person who handled it at that time was Xue Junfeng himself.
In fact, there are so many so-called treasure maps in the Canglan cultivation world.
Any slightly worn map will be related to the so-called treasure.
But in fact, the vast majority of treasure maps, or more than 99% of treasure maps, are just deceptive garbage.
The remaining probability is 0.1%. Although the treasure map may be real, there is a high probability that the treasure actually found may be some low-level, or even only first-level magic weapon.
There are very few treasure maps that can truly be classified as treasures.
And most of them have been excavated and found.
But even so, for the practitioners of Canglan Sea, encountering the treasure map is like a shark that smells fishy smell, and they tirelessly indulge in treasure digging adventures.
Xue Junfeng bought the shabby treasure map from this impoverished casual cultivator with a hundred spiritual stones.
I'm afraid this casual cultivator himself doesn't know where the treasure of this old treasure map is and what it actually contains.
In short, I just missed this great opportunity.
Spending hundreds of spiritual stones to buy a broken treasure map, Xue Junfeng would certainly not report this to the Flashy Chamber of Commerce.
Instead, on a whim, you can decipher the secrets of the treasure map and experience the feeling of a treasure-digging adventure.
So by chance, Xue Junfeng found this top-grade metallic spirit stone and humanoid puppet underground on an uninhabited island.
At the same time, a second treasure map was also found.
good.
This treasure place is actually a series of treasures.
It's a pity that Xue Junfeng failed to solve the riddle of the treasure map, nor did he find the island where the second treasure was located.
The first treasure island, after Xue Junfeng took away the top-grade metallic spirit stones and humanoid puppets, completely collapsed and turned into ruins and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Thinking of this, Ye Jin couldn't help but take out a piece of parchment from the storage bag.
In fact, it's not parchment. I can't tell what kind of material it is made of. It doesn't look like animal skin, gauze foil, or silk.
Coupled with the shabby appearance, Ye Jin didn't even notice the existence of the treasure map when cleaning Xue Junfeng's storage bag.
I just put it in a corner and ignored it. I didn't expect that it would be related to the origin of the top-quality spiritual stones and humanoid puppets.
"Could it be human skin...?"
Rubbing the surface of the treasure map with your fingers, it feels a bit like human skin tissue.
With a hint of curiosity, he opened the parchment and looked at it.
There were dusty black marks everywhere on the three-foot-square leather scroll, which seemed to reflect a crescent moon island that was somewhat similar in shape to Zhuyue Island, as well as a map of the surrounding sea areas.
However, this Crescent Moon Island is much smaller than Zhuyue Island, estimated to be only one-fifth of the area of Zhuyue Island.
At the same time, in the lower left corner of the parchment, a few sentences were written in small seal script:
"When the moon is full, day and night shine together."….
This is the first sentence.
"A mirrorless mirror reflects all the drama."
This is the second sentence.
"Flowers on the sea hold water as pearls."
This is the last sentence.
There were three sentences in total, which made Ye Jin frown.
I hate the Riddler the most!
Frowning, Ye Jin couldn't help but pass the parchment in front of Lu Jingtian behind him, asking Lu Jingtian to help with the advice.
Ye Jin trusts Lu Jingtian, and since Lu Jingtian is a Dimai master, he may be able to see some clues.
Lu Jingtian was also very interested in the contents of the parchment, not that
Greedy for the treasure itself.
But as a living being, we have a natural curiosity about unknown things.
It's just that without Ye Jin speaking, Lu Jingtian would not take the initiative to ask.
At this time, the monkey demon handed over the treasure map. Lu Jingtian did not refuse, took it and looked at it carefully.
At the first glance, Lu Jingtian frowned subconsciously.
But he soon relaxed and looked thoughtful.
Seeing Lu Jingtian's expression, Ye Jin guessed that Lu Jingtian might have seen some clues, so she asked:
"How's it going? Did you see anything?"
Hearing the monkey demon's inquiry, Lu Jingtian looked away from the treasure map, respectfully held his hands in his hands and said:
"Please tell me, my lord, that my subordinates have gained something."
Ye Jin was interested when he heard this and said with great interest:
"Oh? Tell me."
Lu Jingtian followed the good example, opened the parchment, pointed to the island on the map and said slowly:
"Please see, my lord, the layout of this island is a dry mountain topography with dry mountains facing towards the water, and high mountains and high mountains facing the maoyuan water..."
Ye Jin:? ? ?
Ye Jin was confused after hearing this, what the hell are you doing?
what are you saying?
I know every word you said, but when they are put together, why don’t I understand anything?
Seeing the confused expression on the monkey demon's face, Lu Jingtian suddenly came over and apologized quickly:
"I'm sorry, my lord, but my subordinate was careless."
The monkey demon waved his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't blame you. Your Earthline Master is already difficult to understand. You just need to tell me what it means."
Lu Jingtian smiled apologetically and then explained:
"Reporting to my lord, it is easy to understand that according to the Feng Shui pattern of this island, it should be located in the land of 'Qianmao facing water.'"
"As far as my subordinates know, the most famous place where Qian Mao faces water is Loulan Ruins Bay."
"Loulan sea area?"
Ye Jin frowned and said a name.
Lu Jingtian nodded affirmatively after hearing this and replied: "Yes, it is the Ruins Bay in Loulan Sea Area."
The monkey demon's frown deepened.
In fact, it was Ye Jin who knew the existence of such a sea area in the Loulan Sea after listening to the announcement issued by the Tianxiang Sect after the beast tide ended.
Including Qingyun Sea Area and Jinsha Sea Area, Ye Jin only learned about it later.
Previously, he only knew about one-third of an acre in the three sea areas of Cangnan, Coral, and Tianxiang.
Even now, Ye Jin is not so clear about where the Loulan Sea is.
"Tell me more about it."
The monkey demon nodded slightly and motioned for Lu Jingtian to continue.
Lu Jingtian patiently explained: "So that the Lord will know that the Loulan Sea Area is far away from our Cangnan Sea, separated by three or four sea areas in the middle. I also heard about such a place from the Dimai Master's book collection."….
"As for Loulan Ruins Bay, it is a bay that is widely known among the Earthline Masters."
"It is said that there is an ancient ruins in Loulan Relics Bay, which contains countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It has attracted countless earth line master practitioners to explore."
"But thousands of years have passed, and the Earthline Master has searched all the islands and even the reefs in the Relic Bay, and has not found the existence of the so-called ancient ruins. This rumor has since gradually faded away and disappeared."
Ye Jin gradually came to his senses after hearing this, and nodded with some understanding:
"You mean, the location of this treasure map is the Ruins Bay in the Loulan Sea?"
"The area of Loulan Relics Bay is very large, with islands of various sizes dotted throughout the bay. It is currently unknown which island belongs to it, but it is certain that this treasure map shows a certain part of Relics Bay." Lu Jingtian Reply respectfully.
"I see……"
Ye Jin had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this.
Sure enough, professional matters still need to be solved by professionals.
like
If this treasure map were given to Ye Jin, he would never recognize which sea area the island is located in even if he looks at it for a lifetime.
But Lu Jingtian, who was a ground master, could find the specific location of the island at a glance.
Thinking of this, Ye Jin couldn't help but ask again:
"What do you think of these three sentences?"
Three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang. If one more person thinks, there will be more possibilities for cracking.
When the monkey demon asked about the riddle on the treasure map, Lu Jingtian couldn't help but look embarrassed. He touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said:
"My lord is disappointed. My subordinates are too stupid to guess the meaning behind these three sentences."
"It doesn't matter."
The monkey demon nodded slightly, not surprised. Being able to know the sea area where the island is located is already the biggest gain.
Ye Jin didn't expect to decipher the answer to the treasure map in one go.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jingtian changed the subject and said:
"However... although my subordinates did not guess all the meanings of the three sentences, I have some idea of the meaning expressed in one sentence."
"Let's talk about it."
Ye Jin nodded and signaled Lu Jingtian to speak boldly. In fact, Ye Jin also guessed the general meaning of the first sentence.
Seeing the monkey demon's signal, Lu Jingtian boldly raised his hand and said:
"My subordinates speculate that the first sentence, 'During the full moon, day and night shine together,' should mean that at the time of the full moon, on the eve of dusk, some unknown changes may occur on this crescent-moon island. "
Ye Jin nodded and said nothing, which was consistent with his guess.
After all, this first riddle can be regarded as the best guess.
Just listen to Lu Jingtian continue:
"It's just the last two sentences..."
"A mirrorless mirror reflects all the drama."
"Flowers on the sea hold water as pearls."
"What do these two sentences mean? Please forgive me for my stupidity and I can't figure it out at the moment."
"It's okay, I've done a good job." The monkey demon waved his hand indifferently. It is very rare to be able to crack this step. For someone who doesn't understand Feng Shui Kanyu at all, like Ye Jin, I'm afraid he can only deal with this hidden problem. Baotu stared blankly.
I don’t know how Xue Junfeng cracked the first treasure map. Could it be that a blind cat met a dead mouse and got lucky? ….
Thinking of this, Ye Jin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The Green Underworld is different from Ye Jin's previous life, Blue Star. Because the moon is closer to Blue Star, there will be a tidal full moon every month.
But the Green Underworld is different.
Ye Jin still doesn't know whether the Green Underworld belongs to a space realm or whether it belongs to a planet like the Blue Star in her previous life.
But after living for so many years, I have discovered some specific weather patterns in the Qingming Realm.
For example, the full moon is different from the blue star that appears once a month.
The full moon in the Blue Underworld only appears once every two years.
Just like this year, the full moon has already appeared once, and if you want to see the full moon again, you can only wait until two years later.
In other words, Ye Jin has two years to go to the Ruins Bay in the Loulan Sea to find the location of the treasure.
Ye Jin has been looking forward to this treasure place for a long time.
Ye Jin didn't ask for anything else, as long as he had a top-grade fire attribute spirit stone, Ye Jin would be satisfied, and he couldn't even ask for the existence of a second humanoid puppet.
Ye Jin had a hunch that the chance for him to achieve concentration perfection would be in this treasure place!
Although the spirit ship of the Fuhua Chamber of Commerce experienced a great battle and the cabin received some damage, the overall hull did not suffer much damage, and the speed still maintained the high speed of a large spirit ship.
In less than half a month, Chiba Island is already in sight.
At this time, there were only two living people on the spirit boat, Ye Jin and Lu Jingtian. As for Xue Junfeng and Li Er, they had turned into fly ash and disappeared into the sea.
The spirit ship here is slowly sailing towards Chiba Island.
On the other side, Ye Jin doesn’t know
Yes, as he drove this large spiritual ship of the Glorious Chamber of Commerce close to the coast of Chiba, the entire Chiba Hall was alarmed.
The Chiba Hall guard who was on duty at Chiba Pier saw a large spiritual ship approaching from a distance and quickly reported it to Master Jingde.
Before a large spiritual ship docks at an island, it must be reported in advance.
Otherwise, who knows if this large spiritual ship of yours is for business or to attack the island?
A large spiritual ship like the Vanity Chamber of Commerce, which had never appeared in the records of Chiba Island, naturally alerted the guards of Chiba Hall immediately and reported it.
Chiba Island, Chibado headquarters.
Master Jingde rarely had any free time, so he practiced in seclusion in the Lingmai Cave.
At this time, an urgent message from the Qianye Hall guards came from outside the cave:
"Real person! There is a message from the dock that an unknown large spiritual ship is approaching!"
Master Jingde opened his eyes, frowned and walked out of the cave, and ordered the guards in front of the cave:
"Send the photo bead up."
In situations like this, the guards would usually record it through photo beads and present it to leaders such as Jingde Zhenren.
"Please see the real person."
The messenger ordered the guard to respectfully hand over a luminous pearl the size of a dragon's eye.
Master Jingde took it with a calm face, but there was no trace of nervousness on his face.
Although there are not many cases of unknown large spiritual ships docking, they are not many. Most of them are due to supply problems or difficulties. Therefore, Jingde Zhenren guessed that it would be the same this time.
It seems that some powerful spiritual ship in the Cangnan Sea broke down and had to stop at Chiba Island to rest.
While thinking about it, Master Jingde transferred his magic power into the shadow bead. ….
After a while, a picture appeared in mid-air.
A huge spiritual ship as black as ink slowly came from a distance. As the spiritual ship approached, the head of a ferocious monster fish hanging on the bow gradually became clear.
Master Jingde saw that the expression on this face had not changed much, but when he noticed the colorful cloud pattern on the sail of the black ship.
In an instant, Master Jingde’s expression changed drastically.
His breath shortened, and then he hurriedly gave instructions:
"quick!"
"Quickly invite Chief Bishui, Chief Lei Hao, Chief Hu Binhai, Chief Dong Feishuang, and Chief Shankui! Just say that we have distinguished guests!"
The anxiety in his voice, and even his tone of voice, was a little hurried, which showed how shocked Jingde was when he saw clearly the colorful cloud pattern of the black ship.
Unexpectedly, the order guard said with a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"Master Qi, Leader Lei Hao has closed his door to death and no one can disturb him. As for Leader Shankui, it is said that Leader Shankui left Peach Blossom Island half a year ago and is currently missing."
Master Jingde couldn't care so much at this time and continued:
"In that case, let's call Chief Bishui and Chief Hu Binhai and his wife, and tell them that the distinguished guests are coming. Come and assemble quickly."
"As you command!"
The order guard respectfully accepted the order and went to call the Blue Water Black Turtle and the others.
As for Master Jingde, he took the first step and went to Chiba Pier to wait for the spirit ship to arrive.
At this time, Ye Jin didn't know how big of a reaction he had caused from Jingde Zhenren when he drove this spiritual ship belonging to the Flashy Chamber of Commerce to the shore.
To be honest, Ye Jin knew how powerful the Flashy Chamber of Commerce was even though he didn't know much about it now.
All I know is that the head of the Flashy Chamber of Commerce, Xue Junfeng's cheap father, Xue Bian, is a strong man with perfect elixir formation.
Although these powerful men are said to be powerful in battle based on the Jade Dragon Master, Ye Jin holds the best magic weapon and the essence and blood of the fourth-level peak sea beast.
Although he couldn't beat the opponent, he thought he was not without means to deal with it.
If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be enough to use Blood Shadow Escape and the Earth Evil Technique to recruit clouds to escape?
Unless the Demon King Zireng is good at flying and perfects his pill formation, Ye Jin doesn't believe that anyone can match his Blood Shadow Escape and Zhaoyun Escape Techniques.
soon.
Chiba Pier gathered many Chiba dignitaries such as Jingde Zhenren, Bishui Xuangui, Hu Binhai and his wife.
layer.
Looking at the large spiritual ship moving slowly and slowly on the sea, Dong Feishang couldn't help but said with some doubts:
"Brother, what is the origin of this spiritual ship? How could it make you so cautious? Could it be the vehicle of the ancestor of some alchemy force?"
Beside Dong Feishuang, Hu Binhai and Bishui Xuangui also looked at Master Jingde in confusion, wondering why Master Jingde put up such a formation to welcome this strange spiritual ship.
This is nothing more than the personal visit of the ancestor of Jiedan, right?
While Jingde Zhenren, Bishui Xuangui and others were waiting for the black ship to dock, he explained aloud:
"Fei Shuang doesn't know anything. The background of this spiritual ship is not much smaller than that of the ancestor Jiedan. The flags of this spiritual ship are from the Vanity Chamber of Commerce!"
"Glorious Chamber of Commerce?!"
Upon hearing the words Flashy Chamber of Commerce, Dong Fei, Shuang and Sanxiu immediately opened their eyes wide and said in disbelief.
"Is it that flashy chamber of commerce that is comparable to Nascent Soul's power and has close friendships with many Nascent Soul masters?!"...
Hu Binhai has been in charge of the Chiba Island Merchant Fleet all year round, so he is naturally very familiar with Fuhua Chamber of Commerce, a large chamber of commerce that originated from the merchant fleet.
To a certain extent, the Flashy Chamber of Commerce is to Canglan Hai, just like Peach Blossom Island is to Cangnan Hai, they all have a transcendent status in their respective sea areas.
The only difference is that the Fuhua Chamber of Commerce is not yet a fifth-level force, nor does it have the power of Nascent Soul to take over its form. However, in the Canglan Sea Area, it enjoys the same detached treatment as Tianxiang Sect, Qingyun Sect and other fifth-level forces.
This is a much more powerful force than the core-forming forces like Jinyangmen and Shituo Island. The key people are rich and well-connected, and are comparable to other core-forming forces in Yuanfei.
No wonder Jingde was so prepared.
"Exactly." On the side, Master Jingde nodded seriously.
After understanding the origin of this strange spiritual ship, Bishui Xuangui and others finally understood the meaning of the word "distinguished guest" in Jingde's mouth.
Just when Jingde Zhenren and other cultivators were waiting eagerly, they saw the bow of the dark spiritual ship approaching the coast of Chiba Island turning and heading towards Peach Blossom Island on the side.
Practitioners of Jingde Zhenren:...
Hu Binhai couldn't help but laugh out loud to ease the awkward atmosphere:
"It seems that this distinguished guest from the Glorious Chamber of Commerce must be visiting the leader of Shankui..."
Master Jingde also smiled awkwardly, and then said:
"That should be the case, but Chief Shankui is not here. We should entertain the distinguished guests of the Glorious Chamber of Commerce on behalf of Chief Shankui."
"What the real person said makes sense." Hu Binhai nodded quickly.
Naturally, Bishui Xuangui and Dong Feishuang would not have any objections.
So, a group of four people got up and flew towards Peach Blossom Island.
The four of them were not slow and arrived at the Peach Blossom Island Pier ahead of the spirit boat.
At this time, Liu Rushi, Xiao Hu Niang, Li Yan, Fu Bo and other people under Ye Jin's command were all present at the Taohua Island Pier.
From a distance, the Liu family saw Master Jingde and his entourage flying in. They bowed and saluted:
"I have met all the leaders."
Seeing the serious expressions of Master Jingde and others and the huge formation, I couldn't help but wonder:
"I wonder why Master Jingde suddenly visited my Peach Blossom Island?"
"Young Master Liu, there is no need to be polite." Master Jingde was very polite to Monkey Demon, his confidante, and did not consider himself to be a superior person at all.
After hearing Liu Rushi's inquiry, he explained:
"I saw some distinguished guests from the Flashy Chamber of Commerce coming to my door, and thinking that the leader of the mountain was not around, I took it upon myself to come over and help him out."
Liu Rushi was confused after hearing this.
What flashy chamber of commerce?
What kind of distinguished guest is coming to your door?
Didn't his lover come back by boat?
Why did you involve a distinguished guest?
Before Ye Jin returned to Peach Blossom Island, she had already sent a message to Liu Rushi that she would drive a large spiritual ship back to avoid causing panic on Peach Blossom Island.
Since I didn’t plan to go to Chiba Island, I didn’t send a message to Master Jingde.
At this moment, everyone was still looking at each other in confusion.
.
On the other side, the dark spiritual ship had docked and stopped outside the Peach Blossom Island Pier.
When Master Jingde saw the spirit ship docking, he had no time to explain to everyone Liu, so he hurriedly came to the spirit ship, bowed and said respectfully:
"We sincerely welcome the flashy master to your door. I'm sorry that we're far away from you, so please forgive me!"
Behind him, Bishui Xuangui, Hu Binhai and his wife followed suit and shouted respectfully. ….
As a result, Liu Rushi, who was last, and other men under Ye Jin looked at each other in confusion.
what's going on?
Didn’t it say that the Lord is back?
Why are you so flashy and expert?
At this time, two figures flew out of the spirit ship one after another. The former was covered in black hair (turned back into a mandrill), and the latter was dressed in white robes. They were Ye Jin and Lu Jingtian who had returned from the Jinsha Sea.
When a man and a demon got off the boat, they saw Master Jingde and others bowing and saluting, saying they were "greeted".
Ye Jin couldn't help but said with confusion:
"Master Jingde, what are you causing a fuss about?"
Master Jingde also raised his head in confusion, and was immediately dumbfounded when he saw a familiar figure getting off the spirit ship of the Flashy Chamber of Commerce.
Behind them, Bishui Xuangui and Hu Binhai couple were also stunned.
what's the situation?
Aren't you talking about VIPs from the Flashy Chamber of Commerce?
How could he be the leader of Shankui?
For a moment, the two sides could not help but stare at each other with big eyes. Liu Rushi and the others who were further away were holding back laughter and did not dare to breathe.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
…
PS: The conflict between the Flashy Chamber of Commerce and Ye Jin is not a simple cliché plot of fighting the young to provoke the old. Let me state it in advance here.
The Flashy Chamber of Commerce has a secret, and the conflict between it and the protagonist is almost inevitable. Even without Xue Junfeng, the Flashy Chamber of Commerce will inevitably conflict with the protagonist.
Xue Junfeng's line is mainly about the dungeon of Loulan Ruins Bay. One is about the protagonist's breakthrough and perfection of concentration, and the other is about leading to Yunding Heavenly Palace.
So don’t be impatient, just listen to the explanation~
