Chapter 301: Chapter 300: Sailing the Seas

Thanking Ninth Mother had known from her premonition about the existence of this sea vessel and that it indeed posed no danger, so she followed Old Yan and the others down to the deck.

Old Yan led them to the second floor.

The helmsman was on the first floor, heading exactly to the sea region marked on the wooden token.

Old Yan knew that the Ao Family’s islands were deep in the Southeast Sea Region. He copied the sea map from the wooden token, found a local acquaintance, and as a Divinity Transformation old acquaintance who also knew he wasn’t dead, naturally, he was a local powerhouse. Indeed, they soon found someone to lead the way.

Xie Jiuniang stood at the window ledge on the second floor.

The sea was calm and the waves gentle.

The water shimmered, and the sky and sea melded into one color.

Before leaving, she had predicted that they would be safe at sea for ten days, with only a little storm on the ninth day.

Until ten days had passed.

Xie Jiuniang conducted another premonition in the second-floor guest room and was quite surprised by the result: they would encounter a sea beast, a Nascent Soul-level sea beast.

However, she didn’t need to take action.

There were three Divinity Transformation cultivators, and one of them could easily handle it.

The sea beast’s corpse was collected.

"Finally, we see a decent demonic beast!" Old Yan was very pleased.

Xuan Qing smiled and said, "This is worth quite a few Spirit Stones."

"Indeed it’s worth a lot. If we catch more this trip, it’s been hundreds of years, and I’m so poor that all I have left is a Storage Ring," Old Yan said, growing more bitter as he spoke.

Xie Jiuniang asked half-believingly, "You are already at Divinity Transformation, can you still be poor?"

Old Yan wanted to say a few words, but when he caught Xie Jiuniang’s skeptical gaze, he suddenly felt a lump in his chest, "Can’t compare, can’t compare."

He turned his head away, not wanting to see her.

Xuan Qing and Xuan Ye remained silent.

The blow was significant.

The wealth of three Divinity Transformation cultivators couldn’t compare to that of a single Minor Golden Core.

The resources they had accumulated were long consumed, and they even owed the Sect a large sum of Spirit Stones. Over the years, they had to occasionally ask Sect Master Chaoruo for support. Without the Sect’s backing, they wouldn’t have made it this far, and would have perished a hundred and eighty years ago.

Xie Jiuniang wasn’t foolish.

She soon understood the reasons.

Originally, she didn’t know that the powers of hidden Sects were like a bunch of sickly people.

Xie Jiuniang stood tall, facing the sea breeze, and said boldly, "Seniors, as long as you follow me, don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to make a fortune. I am known as the ’Little Fortune God’ after all."

"Is there such a title? I thought it was ’Little Profiteer,’" Old Yan retorted as he cut a large chunk of sea beast meat, resolved to stew it later, "I haven’t tasted sea beast meat for a long time, I really miss it."

Sea beast meat, in one word, is fresh.

The meat is tender and full of spiritual energy.

Xie Jiuniang wanted to retort that she was not a profiteer, but her attention was diverted at the mention of sea beast meat, a pity given her rather moving culinary skills.

She obediently sat to the side, not moving.

Waiting to eat was all that was left for her to do.

In the end, it was Xuan Qing who handled the meat.

Old Yan brought out a stove to cook the sea beast meat soup.

Xuan Ye and Xie Jiuniang, like idle shopkeepers, were responsible for waiting to eat. Eventually, with her capability, Xie Jiuniang secured half a bowl of meat. After finishing it, she quickly returned to her room to meditate and refine the spiritual energy, directing it towards her Dantian.

The three Divinity Transformation cultivators eating laughed.

Xuan Ye commented, "Being able to have half a bowl of meat and soup is not bad."

"Not just not bad, I thought she would barely eat three pieces of meat," Old Yan said, chuckling.

Xuan Qing added another bowl of meat soup for his partner.

This was Nascent Soul-level sea beast meat, which those below the Golden Core level couldn’t consume much of.

Xie Jiuniang secluded herself for one night before she refined all the spiritual energy in her body and directed it into her Dantian.

The way was smooth with Divinity Transformation cultivators leading the way.

With them handling any rough seas, Xie Jiuniang didn’t need to act. Following these powerful individuals, she freeloaded meals and drinks, and her cultivation base kept rising.

It was not long ago that she had broken through to the third layer of the Golden Core.

Having eaten a lot of high-grade sea beast meat recently, she was nearly at the peak of the third layer.

Xie Jiuniang fled into the Small Tortoise Shell.

Then, she took out the Time Leaf and poured Spiritual Power into it to predict the future.

[The ship sailed through the sea for several days, with calm winds and smooth waves. On the sixth day, as it sailed into a certain area, it encountered three adjacent reef islands, precisely the Sanjiao Island marked on the sea chart.

A large flock of seabirds lived on the islands.

Just as the ship rounded Sanjiao Island.

Suddenly, there were strong warriors fighting ahead, stirring up huge waves, the disturbance too great, leading to the ship’s navigation being obstructed.

The captain came up to ask for Old Yan’s opinion...]

Xie Jiuniang continued to predict for ten days straight, until she had exhausted all of her Spiritual Power. The cautious Jiuniang of the past wouldn’t have done this, but this time it was different.

Because one of the people fighting ahead was from the Ao Family’s Nascent Soul.

Was the other one an Evil Cultivator?

The Magic Artifacts were a Skull Head and a Hundred Ghosts Banner.

After taking the Spiritual Liquid that replenished Spiritual Energy, Xie Jiuniang began to meditate once again.

It wasn’t until several days later.

Old Yan came knocking on the door, "Little Boss, we’ve arrived at Sanjiao Island and entered the periphery of that part of the sea chart."

"Old Yan, there won’t be any problems on the return trip, right?"

"No problem."

Several Divinity Transformation realm cultivators had left their marks along the way.

In fact, Xie Jiuniang could also remember the way back, no, it wasn’t her who remembered the path, but the Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan who had memorized the route. It was just that she couldn’t openly talk about it.

Xie Jiuniang said, "Let’s have the ship stop here."

"Aren’t you going to let them take us a bit further in?" Old Yan didn’t understand why she suddenly wanted to change the plan.

Xie Jiuniang said, "Continuing deeper into the area by ship would be rather complicated, and it’s not very convenient."

The main reason was that on a ship, the target was too big.

In her predictions, she had witnessed what was truly vicious.

During her training in the Southeast Sea Region, it wasn’t just Sea Beasts that were dangerous; the Cultivators one encountered were even more so. A ship was like a target, and after passing Sanjiao Island, Sea Beasts weren’t the greatest danger; the training Cultivators were more savage.

In just a short span of four or five days, they had encountered five groups of robbers.

It was easy to destroy evidence and traces in the sea area, which inevitably led some people to harbor evil thoughts. Upon encountering what they thought were fat sheep, they would come up and murder for loot, and even some islands were breeding grounds for crime, inhabited by sea bandits, forming a not insignificant force.

Xie Jiuniang’s decision was followed by the three Divinity Transformation experts.

Old Yan left for a while.

Then, the three Divinity Transformation experts flew into the air.

Xie Jiuniang threw out the Broken Sword and stood atop it.

Meanwhile, the ship behind them had already turned around and was heading back.

Finally, the four of them stood on a huge rock in the middle of Sanjiao Island.

Xie Jiuniang stood against the wind, gazing out at what lay ahead.

Furthermore, the three formidable beings also sensed it.

Two Nascent Soul warriors were fighting ahead, rapidly approaching Sanjiao Island.

It wasn’t strange for the three of them to notice; what was strange was that Xie Jiuniang seemed to have noticed as well, even though Golden Core cultivators shouldn’t be able to at this distance.

Old Yan asked, "Little Boss?"

The four of them had disguised themselves.

To outsiders, they naturally wouldn’t call her by the name Xie Jiuniang, so they simply addressed her as Little Boss.

To the three of them, she was indeed their boss.

Xie Jiuniang pulled up the hood blown down by the sea breeze, "Let’s watch the fight first, then see if we can pick up after the aftermath."

Pick up after the aftermath?

The corners of the three’s mouths slightly curled up.

The four used their abilities.

They concealed their auras and hid their forms.

With their capabilities, as long as they didn’t actively show themselves, no one would be able to detect anyone on the rock.
