The purpose of Zhou Ju's trip was clear, which was to go back to Feixian Island to visit Zhou Fuling.
When he and Zhou Yao left, Zhou Fuling's cultivation was no more than Qi Refining, and even if he was free from disasters and diseases, he only had a life span of 150 years.
Although twenty years is a short time for those who practice Taoism, it may only be a period of retreat when the cultivation level is higher in the future.
But for Zhou Ju and the others, it meant that they had been separated from their sister for almost half their lives.
The two little guys were brought up by Zhou Fuling, and their relationship would naturally be extremely deep, if not for Zhou Ju's strong determination to follow the Tao, and Zhou Fuling's efforts to facilitate it.
In the past, both of them had difficulty leaving Feixian Island and went out for training.
After leaving the Sea of Chaos in a low-key manner, Zhou Ju boarded a Duobao Pavilion passenger ship.
The East China Sea is vast and boundless. Although Zhou Ju has the flying escape weapon in his hand, the shape of the dragon boat is quite eye-catching and attracts attention.
Secondly, he was traveling alone this time. Although the dragon boat didn't consume much mana, he couldn't concentrate on practicing!
It has been decades since Duobao Pavilion was established. It has not only inherited all the businesses of Yunmeng Pavilion, but also developed many.
This shipping is one that has been carried forward.
In the old days of Yunmeng Pavilion, passenger ship shipping was just incidental.
Unlike now, not only the magic boats are all hundred-refined magic weapons, but also all the major shipping routes have been greeted by Duobao Pavilion and Sihai Dragon Palace in advance. There are undercurrents in the sailings, and the speed is quite fast.
It is not inferior to the full flight escape of a cultivator.
And if you sail across continents, the speed will soar to a new level!
As the top disciple of Sanxian Island, Zhou Ju is deeply loved by the rich woman Fox, and his net worth is very high.
So I bought the best private room.
Not only one of these private rooms is the size of an ordinary manor.
The meditation room, the alchemy room, the fire room, and the flower and grass courtyard are all comprehensive. Even if you live here for a long time, you don't need to feel aggrieved and depressed.
What's even more rare is that there is a spirit gathering array set up in this box. Although the spiritual energy is inferior to that of the sect, it is enough for daily practice.
Life on this passenger ship reminded Zhou Ju of that unforgettable time sailing in the boundless fantasy sea.
Whenever he thinks of those days, a heartfelt smile will appear on Zhou Ju's face.
If Qing Dai saw this scene, she would be shocked from ear to ear. Many new disciples, including her, all agreed that Zhou Ju was the kind of cold-faced master who never showed any expression!
Just as Zhou Ju's mouth curled up slightly, he was deep in thought.
A few brief knocks on the door brought him back to reality.
"Please come in." Zhou Ju said in a deep voice after sitting upright.
The door was pushed open, revealing a deacon wearing Duobao Pavilion Taoist robes.
After he came in, he first bowed respectfully, and then said with a smile: "I wonder if the guest officer's stay in our upper room on the Lingyue is comfortable?"
"Well, it's quite comfortable." Although Zhou Ju was a little confused, he still nodded. "Is there something wrong?"
"Well..." the man laughed dryly, slightly embarrassed, "so that the Taoist friends know that this box was originally provided for several people to live in. There are three to five meditation rooms alone, and the Taoist friend actually booked it for one person. It’s really generous.”
Zhou Ju didn't even raise his head and said, "If you have something to do, fellow Taoist, you can just tell me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush like this."
Seeing that his purpose of coming was exposed, the man hesitated and said embarrassedly: "Sir, it's like this. There is an important guest in the pavilion. There are quite a few people on board this time, about ten people, but the ordinary box is extremely crowded." It's hard to tolerate, but I think your distinguished guest is alone, if..."
The deacon's voice became softer and quieter, apparently because he saw that the expression on Zhou Ju's face did not change, and he became more and more uncertain.
Zhou Judan replied calmly: "I'm used to living in this house, but I have no intention of exchanging anything."
At this time, another slightly charming voice came from outside the house, "If Taoist fellow Taoist is willing to give up this room, the girl is willing to bear all the expenses for this trip, and she will even provide a certain amount of compensation."
I saw that the person who came was extremely beautiful, with pink cheeks and dark eyes, skin like porcelain, lips like red, and a ray of charm in his eyes that made people's hearts flutter.
No matter for Zhou Ju, he had grown up watching his sister and the little fox who were relegated to immortals. Although this girl was beautiful, she was still among the ordinary people, and her charm skills were only ordinary, so she had no reaction at all. Neither.
Still coldly said: "I wonder what this compensation is for?"
On the contrary, when the woman saw Zhou Ju's majestic appearance and extraordinary appearance, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and she said softly: "I don't know how much compensation you want, just ask my little sister for it."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but lean forward a little.
"Miss Su, why bother talking to this guy? He's just a casual cultivator. I'm afraid he'll be overjoyed if I reward him with some talismans."
The one who spoke was a young man in rich clothes, surrounded by dozens of maids and servants, walking from the left in great pomp.
The woman bowed Yingying and said: "I have met Mr. Liu, but this time my ancestor is traveling, but in such a hurry, it is difficult to find this room..."
"It turns out that Ancestor Su is out of seclusion. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?" The man smiled fondly, "Do you treat me like an outsider?"
He turned to look at Zhou Ju and said condescendingly: "The fee for the apartment is only three thousand letter charms. If you are willing to exchange, I can give you six thousand letter charms and give you an elegant apartment."
Six thousand letter talismans were considered a huge sum of money for a cultivator.
Zhou Ju did not answer, but looked at the deacon of Duobao Pavilion aside. When the two of them were talking before, Zhou Ju only told him that he was just a casual cultivator.
At this time, the young man made a statement and it was obviously leaked from the deacon.
"Is it possible that Duobao Pavilion can disclose guest information to outsiders at will?" Zhou Ju asked coldly.
The deacon in robes avoided his eyes.
But the young man smiled and said indifferently: "Duobao Pavilion was originally built by our sect. The deacons in the pavilion are also disciples of various sects. I also received a post. This is just an exchange between colleagues. , what’s wrong with that?”
"I see that even though you are a casual cultivator, you are also very generous. I will give you a few more words. Do you know what the ancestor of the Su family is? If you change rooms, it is impossible to say that you are a casual cultivator like you. This The greatest opportunity in my life!"
That aloof look, as if he was really giving alms.
"Ten true talismans!"
"What?!" The young man's casual expression suddenly froze on his face, and he said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Zhou Ju's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Aren't you used to doing such generous things? Then ten true talismans must not be a big deal to you!"
"It's just an upper room, do you know our identities?"
"Since Your Excellency said that Duobao Pavilion is your own business, you must be a disciple of the Sect like Shangqing and Shenxiao." Although Zhou Ju has a calm personality, he has been with the little fox for a long time, so he can't be a stupid person. " If you can take over my house through the official channels of Duobao Pavilion, a certain family will have nothing to say."
Come and try it quickly. 】
"If not, you'd better prepare ten true talismans!"
Zhou Ju closed the doors and windows, leaving only the livid-faced young man and Miss Su's smiling eyes.
Zhou Ju didn't pay much attention to this matter, and then he found another upper room, or what?
In short, the group of people didn't bother me too much.
Zhou Ju came here just to see his sister as soon as possible, so he let it pass.
Another month has passed, and the waters of Feixian Island have finally arrived!
When getting off the ship, Zhou Ju unexpectedly saw the group of people again. They also got off the passenger ship in the same sea area.
It's just that this sea area covers an unknown number of islands with a radius of thousands of miles. Zhou Ju didn't pay any more attention.
Instead, he found a hidden place and found the direction. Control the escaping light and fly directly to Feixian Island.
Zhou Ju's cultivation at this time was already at the peak of his cultivation, and all his true talismans were lit up.
The escape speed was extremely fast, and within half an hour, he had already arrived at the familiar surrounding sea area.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw the waves rolling in front of him, and the mysterious light was chaotic. It was obvious that a fierce battle was going on.
Zhou Ju stopped his escape and used his spiritual consciousness to explore, and found that the Zhou family's flag was hanging on the besieged merchant ship.
At this time, it was besieged by dozens of monks and was already on the verge of collapse.
Zhou Ju flicked his sleeves, the stars swayed, and dozens of rays of light accurately hit the chests of the monks. With just one blow, they were defeated, leaving only a few alive.
Then Zhou Ju came to the boat and looked at the corpses of Class A, his expression heavy as water.
Finally, he found an old man half lying on the ground at the fallen mast, seriously injured.
"Don't talk yet, let me heal your wounds first." Zhou Ju stopped him from struggling to stand up, but took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
The old man took the elixir into his mouth and immediately felt a fragrance flowing down his mouth and throat into his abdomen. The severe pain and pain all over his body suddenly disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that his body was back to normal and nothing serious was happening anymore. He stood up in great surprise, feeling that the heavy injuries he had suffered just now seemed like a dream.
"This...this magical elixir..."
This elixir is a healing elixir refined by Tang Yuan himself. It was also on this trip that Zhou Ju exchanged a few coins with his sect's contribution.
The effect is naturally extremely good. It doesn't matter whether people are alive or dead, flesh and bones. As long as there is still breath left, they can be saved.
The old man looked at Zhou Ju, his eyes blurred, and he burst into tears and said, "But...but the young master is back?"
Zhou Ju nodded, "I'm back, Mr. Li, what's going on? How dare these robbery cultivators dare to attack our merchant ships in my Zhou family's waters?"
After hearing this, Mr. Li burst into tears and said, "Master, you are finally back. The Zhou family... The Zhou family has been in trouble in recent years!"
Zhou Ju gently patted his junior and said slowly: "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly first."
Mr. Li nodded, took a deep breath and said: "Since you and the young lady left, in the first few years, because the young master, you and Elder Li are still around, and the young lady is in charge of the magic weapon, it is quite difficult. It suppressed the surrounding sea area for several years.”
"But later, another family moved to our sea area. It conflicted with our Zhou family's business. Not to mention that many of the deacons were poached, and the merchant ship of the clan was targeted by the robbers after that! "
"In the past ten years, almost every time I went to sea, I would be robbed. Once, the young lady brought a magic weapon with the ship, but Feixian Island was attacked. From then on, the young lady did not dare to leave the island without permission."
"This ship of goods is the last chance that the young lady has managed for who knows how long. If it hadn't been for your appearance, young master, I'm afraid it would have been robbed again."
Zhou Ju nodded and said, "It's okay. Since I'm back, everything will return to normal. It seems that this family has been targeting my Zhou family. Mr. Li, do you know where they are?"
Li Lao coughed and said, "This family is named Su, and there are two Jindan ancestors in the family. If it weren't for the sharp magic weapon in the young lady's hand, and the remaining power of Elder Li, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Jie Xiu who came to rob it."
In the past, when Tang Yuan was here, he easily killed a Jindan, suppressing the surrounding sea area and making him fearful for decades.
However, decades have passed, and no amount of remaining power can deter the wolf-like ambition.
"So, my sister is fine."
Mr. Li nodded and said: "Aside from the family business, there is still nothing wrong with the eldest lady's health."
"That's good." Zhou Ju stood up, scanned the merchant ship again with his spiritual consciousness, and found a few surviving crew members.
After briefly treating their injuries, they drove the merchant ship to Feixian Island.
Less than half an hour later, the dilapidated merchant ship appeared at the port of Feixian Island.
As the merchant ships entered the port, Zhou Ju even heard the sounds of lament coming from around him.
"Hey, it looks like they were robbed again. The Zhou family is really about to die this week. You and I should hurry up and find a new way out. I see that the Su family's business is booming, so it might be a good place to go."
The hearts of the Zhou family are completely gone.
And far away, Zhou Ju also saw that familiar figure. He was not tall or big, but he had protected him from wind and rain.
It was Zhou Fuling.
The head of the Zhou family is currently at the port waiting for the merchant ship to return. Seeing its dilapidated state, my heart sank, but I still had some extravagant hope: "Mr. Liu is here, what happened?"
The old man walked out tremblingly and said: "On the way back, I was still attacked by robbers. After a hard battle, most of the people on the boat died."
Zhou Fuling's eyes suddenly dimmed and she said, "It doesn't matter if the goods are gone, how many of us are left?"
Mr. Liu replied: "Don't worry, Miss. Fortunately, we were rescued by a noble man. All the goods were preserved, and many seriously injured people were also rescued."
Zhou Fuling quickly asked: "Where is that noble man? He saved my Zhou family from the fire and water. Such a great kindness, I must come to thank you in person!"
"Sister, what else can you and I say about thanking you?" Zhou Ju slowly walked out of the cabin.
Seeing Zhou Ju's appearance, Zhou Fuling froze in place. The tears couldn't stop pouring down, as if they would rush out like water from a dike in the next second.
Zhou Ju also hugged Zhou Fuling and said slowly: "Brother is back. If you have any questions, leave them to me!"
