Chapter 330: Chapter 211 Jing Chu Turmoil_2

After the force was absorbed, on the empty left shoulder, first, a light blue spiritual light gathered, and then, with a poof, a pale blue flame ignited, churning and spinning.

The extinguished soul fire reignited!

Li Yan was excited and quickly released his hand.

The fortune contained within this Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure dinosaur egg was extremely immense; consuming only thirty percent had ignited a lamp.

He suddenly speculated.

The fortune contained within this object must be related to life. Perhaps the Exotic Earth Dragon had absorbed it and seized the opportunity to transform.

Also, when reigniting the soul fire for the first time after repair, the fortune of the Tai Sui at Chaotic Burial Mound was absorbed.

Both had one thing in common: they contained a vast life force!

The reignition of the soul fire must surely be related to this.

And this Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure dinosaur egg also shouldn’t be wasted.

Those coal spirits also belonged to trilobite fossils. Perhaps the dinosaur egg was the same, where the fortune settled very slowly.

If so, then another life was granted!

Even if the guess was wrong, the residual fortune would prevent the Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure from being damaged.

Li Yan dared not delay, quickly instructing Sha Lifei to bring a leather bag, carefully chiseling the dinosaur egg jade stone and placing it inside.

Once the affair was over, the crowd lost interest.

To them, this crystal-clear dinosaur egg fossil was no different from rare jewels, even less useful than the Earth Dragon’s skin.

What puzzled them was Li Yan urging everyone to bury the clay pot underground and refill the soil.

"Brother Yan, why go to all this trouble?"

"Don’t sever roots, it may be useful for future generations..."

...

The crowd returned to the ship as dawn broke.

Li Yan implored "Fast Ship Zhang" to turn the helm, sending Tian Qilang to the riverbank several miles away from Yunyang Prefecture.

"Daoist Tian, be careful on the road."

"Don’t worry, everyone, until we meet again!"

Tian Qilang solemnly bid farewell and quickly turned to leave.

Soon, his figure disappeared on the official road.

He was heading to Yunyang Prefecture’s City God Temple to warn them.

This discovery of a conspiracy involving the Heavenly Saint Sect and Tusi had to be reported as soon as possible, possibly saving many lives.

Also, the Earth Dragon’s carcass was still on Azure Dragon Mountain, buried by them with all traces of the gunpowder explosion cleared.

Tian Qilang wanted to hire someone early to dig out and move the item.

"Senior Zhang, let’s go."

Seeing the other’s figure disappear, Li Yan also appeared solemn.

The war in Yunyang Prefecture was inevitable.

In such a large-scale war, an individual’s power was almost negligible, and it was unknown how many lives would be lost.

They were but a speck of dust...

"Set sail!"

At "Fast Ship Zhang"’s shout, the sails suddenly swelled, the wooden boat cut across the water surface, stirring waves, and disappeared into the morning mist...

Near noon, the ship arrived at Wudang County.

It was time for another farewell.

This time leaving was the wealthy plump son, Lin Yu, who would take an alternative land route, traversing White Cloud Mountain Road, heading to Luoyang, and then to the Capital.

"Thank you, everyone."

Lin Yu bowed solemnly in thanks.

He had changed back into a Confucian robe and wore black wood glasses, appearing fragile, meek, and easily bullied.

Sha Lifei cheerfully said, "Mr. Lin, remember the pugilistic world experience we taught you. Only say a fraction of what you intend to, understand the significance when you hear the Spring Festival, and never mingle indiscreetly with others."

Throughout the journey, he had chatted nonstop, clearly understanding Lin Yu’s background and being very polite to this potential client.

Of course, he also passed on some pugilistic world experience.

Lin Yu turned out to have an eidetic memory, recalling the pugilistic slang Sha Lifei mentioned twice.

Though both were scholars, compared to Yan Jiuling, Lin Yu somehow seemed more like a pugilistic world person.

"Don’t worry, I’ve noted it all."

Lin Yu bowed again, smiling, "If any of you ever visit Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you must come to the Lin family. I will welcome you with open arms."

"The pugilistic world roads are long, until we meet again!"

"Until we meet again!"

Everyone bid farewell with a clasped-hands salute, and the wooden boat gradually moved away.

Lin Yu stood on the shore, watching until the wooden boat disappeared, then sighed deeply, murmuring, "Master said that meetings and partings in the pugilistic world are common. From now on, there may be no chance to meet again..."

With that, he picked up his luggage and walked toward the official road.

Meanwhile, on the boat, once far from the shore, "Fast Ship Zhang" stepped from the deck into the cabin, saluting before Li Yan, "Young Hero Li, I’ve been too busy to discuss something with you."

Li Yan nodded, "Please speak, Senior."

"Fast Ship Zhang" took out a worn leather map, old and worn, yet dense with mountainous and river terrains.

"Young Hero, would you like to take the main route or a shortcut?"

"What’s the difference?"

"If we take the main route, we shall follow the Han River, passing through Xiangyang, and after several days, arrive at Han Yang Prefecture, then turn into the Yangtze River, returning through Hong Lake, Dongting Lake, entering Jingzhou and Yichang."

"This is the major grain transport route. The river is wide, with many boats back and forth, and river god temples built along the way. Apart from the treacherous sections with pirates, there’s basically no danger, but it takes a long detour."

"Even moving quickly, it would take more than ten days."

Li Yan frowned slightly, "And the shortcut?"

"If we take the shortcut, after passing Xiangyang and reaching Jingmen, there are several riverways directly leading to Jingzhou."

As he spoke, "Fast Ship Zhang" sighed, "Although these waterways are complex, requiring passage through many mountainous and perilous paths, I am very familiar with them, able to navigate them blindly in the past."

"But recently, something has arisen in those waterways, water ghosts and monsters appearing, and some green forest strongmen taking the opportunity to loot."
