Chapter 879 Unexpected
There are two cultivators beside Liehuo Zhenren. According to Master Shihan, they are a master and his apprentice. The master is called Baotan Sanren, who has completed the foundation building. The apprentice is called Jubei Sanren, who has completed the foundation building. The two look very different, but their expressions and behaviors are very similar. They both look staggering and drunk, as if they were carved from the same mold.
The reason why the two look like this is that they are both alcoholics. They almost have to drink every day and are rarely sober.
The master and apprentice came from a sect called Jiuguimen. It is said that it was a well-known sect many years ago, but it gradually declined. Now there are only the two of them in the sect. It is almost the smallest sect in Zhongshayu. This time they went to Gufeng Continent to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
The last one to fall behind was a skinny man in black, his head and face covered in robes, and a cloud of black mist faintly emanating from his body. His appearance was hazy and unclear, and he looked cold and icy. Just a glance at him made it seem as if his eyes were frozen, and he looked like he didn't want to see anyone alive. This person's identity and origin were very mysterious. All we knew was that he was called Evil Spirit Sanren, and even Master Shi Han was not very clear about the rest. Although this Evil Spirit True Person only had the cultivation level of perfect foundation building, many people felt that he seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the Fiery True Person at the Golden Core Realm.
Including Qingyang and Xiying who just arrived, there are now a total of 16 cultivators on this mountain, including three Jindan cultivators, namely Master Shihan of the third Jindan level, Heisang Zhenren of the second Jindan level, and Liehuo Zhenren of the first Jindan level; six foundation-building perfect cultivators, namely Zhou Yufan, Fu Chang, Jiang Dahai, Jiang Dayang, Baotan Sanren, Xieling Sanren; two foundation-building ninth-level cultivators, namely Qi He and Xiying; three foundation-building eighth-level cultivators, namely Zhou An, Xiao Yuhan, and Qingyang; the remaining two are Jiubei Sanren of the fourth foundation-building level and Fu Yunxiao of the first foundation-building level.
The largest number is the foundation-building perfect cultivators and the eight or nine foundation-building levels that are close to the foundation-building perfect cultivators. It can be seen that the cultivators who are facing the problem of forming a pill are the ones who want to go out to find opportunities the most. Of course, there are also some cultivators of other levels, basically for their own reasons.
The strength of this group is already very strong. The general monsters or forces in the outer sea dare not provoke them at all. Even if they encounter any danger on the road, they have enough self-protection ability. This trip to the Ancient Wind Continent should still be very safe.
Qingyang remembered that Master Shihan said that including himself, there were originally 14 cultivators who had reserved places. Counting Qingyang, Xiying and the three who joined later, the whole team had 17 cultivators. Now there are 16, which means that there is still one who has not come and needs to continue waiting.
Master Shihan introduced everyone one by one, and they exchanged a few words with each other. They were considered to be acquainted, and then all the cultivators dispersed. Qingyang, Xiying and Xiao Yuhan handed the 20,000 spirit stones they had prepared to Master Shihan as a source of energy to drive the spirit ship on the way.
Some people did not come alone, and it seemed that they could not leave in a short time. Qingyang, Xiying and Xiao Yuhan also opened several caves on the stone wall as their temporary resting place.
As a result, they waited for two days, but there was no news about the remaining person. Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan could not sit still anymore, so they came to Master Shihan's cave and asked, "Master Shihan, why hasn't this last person come yet? Did something happen on the way?"
Master Shihan also frowned, and after a long time, he said, "I don't know why this last person hasn't come yet. The journey from Qingyan City to here is still very peaceful, and there should be no danger. It is estimated that something has delayed the journey. Now there is still half a day before our agreed departure time, so we will wait a little longer. If he still doesn't come after the time is up, it's his problem, and we will leave without caring about him."
"Master Shihan, who is this last person? He is so arrogant that he makes more than a dozen cultivators wait for him?" Xiao Yuhan said dissatisfiedly.
Seeing Xiao Yuhan asking, Master Shihan smiled slightly, and rarely kept the secret, saying: "You also know this last person, as for who it is, you will know when you come."
Hearing that Master Shihan and the other three also knew him, Qingyang was immediately puzzled. Qingyang and the others had been in Qingyan City for more than 20 years, but they spent most of their time in seclusion and cultivation, and rarely went out to make friends and travel, so they didn't know many cultivators, and they could almost count them on their fingers. Logically, it should be easy to guess, but the three of them racked their brains for a long time, and couldn't remember who they knew who had the ability and need. When they asked Master Shihan, Master Shihan didn't say a word, it seemed that they could only know when the person came.
Then they waited for another four or five hours, and when they saw that the agreed deadline had arrived, Master Shihan was about to start the spirit ship, and then they saw a figure flying hurriedly.
Qingyang looked up and saw the man's face as he got closer. When he recognized who he was, he was shocked. It was beyond his expectation.
Because the last one was none other than Liu Wei, the deputy general manager of Wantong Pavilion. With Liu Wei's background and status as the eldest daughter of the Liu family, it should not be too difficult for her to get a quota in the Ancient Wind Continent. With her current strength, she also needs to find an opportunity to break through the Golden Core. But isn't Liu Wei still the deputy general manager of Wantong Pavilion? How can she just leave? What about the Liu family? Moreover, Liu Wei has the support of the Liu family and Wantong Pavilion. How can she just abandon such a big background and backing?
Although the Liu family's Golden Core was taken by his brother Liu Bao this time, the Liu family is the top force in Qingyan City after all, and there is still hope to get the Golden Core again. There is no shortage of opportunities to form a core, but it will take a longer time to wait. Why go to the vast ocean to take risks?
Just when Qingyang was stunned, Liu Wei had come close. Seeing Qingyang's bewildered look, Liu Wei smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong with Master Qingyang? Didn't you expect me to come?"
Qingyang nodded and said, "I really didn't expect it. When we first met Master Shi Han, didn't you say that the quota was full? Where did you get this quota?"
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Isn't it simple? Just find someone who already has a quota and buy one. With the strength of our Liu family in Qingyan City, it is not too difficult to find out who the thirteen quotas were sold to. I found one of them and directly offered double the price. That person resold the quota to me. Then I told Master Shi Han about this matter, and the matter was settled."
