Chapter 896 Arrival at the Ancient Continent
After talking about the spirit wine for a few sentences, Qingyang asked again: "Master Shihan, Senior Brother Xiying, we are about to arrive at the Ancient Wind Continent, what are your plans?"
Master Shihan said: "We are new here, and we don't know much about the Ancient Wind Continent, so I plan to stay in Jiuxian City for a while. Jiuxian City is so big, there should be a place for us. After we have a certain understanding of the Ancient Wind Continent, we will decide whether to stay or go."
Xiying said: "Junior Sister Xiao and I have discussed this issue. After arriving in Jiuxian City, we will first look for the opportunity to form a pill. If there is hope, we will stay in Jiuxian City. If we can't find it, we will think of other ways. Of course, it all depends on Junior Brother Qingyang's opinion."
In the past, Xiying relied on his cultivation level that was several levels higher than Qingyang, and the strength of the two sides was barely equal. Xiying would occasionally make a decision. Now Qingyang's cultivation level has also been improved to the perfect foundation, and his comprehensive strength is much higher than Xiying and Xiao Yuhan. The two of them have made up their minds. From now on, they must cling to Qingyang's thighs, and everything is based on Qingyang's opinion.
Qingyang said: "That's my plan too. Now the three of us have reached the perfect foundation, and breaking through the golden elixir is the most urgent task. When we arrive in Jiuxian City, we must first look for a chance to form a golden elixir. However, no one knows what the situation is in Jiuxian City. We have to wait until we get there before we can talk about it."
Master Shi Han also said: "Yes, it's too early to say this now. After arriving in Jiuxian City, we can live together first and take care of each other. We'll talk about the future later."
There were a total of 17 cultivators on this spiritual ship. One Liu Wei died before departure, and one Zhou An died on the way. There are still 15 cultivators left. Although their purposes are different, after arriving in the Ancient Wind Continent, they must first figure out the situation here before deciding on the next move.
The situations of the three golden elixir cultivators are different. They don't have any bottlenecks, so they naturally don't need to look for any opportunities to break through. Let's not talk about the two cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building for the time being. There are still ten cultivators who have reached the perfect foundation. Their most urgent task is how to form a golden elixir.
However, the situations of these ten people are also different. Qingyang, Xiying, and Xiao Yuhan bought a lot of materials for forming golden elixir before coming to the Ancient Wind Continent. They just need to gather the missing main medicines. Zhou Yufan was born in a small or medium-sized family, so he probably also has some preparation.
The other six perfect foundation-building cultivators are all poor casual cultivators. In order to buy a quota from Master Shi Han, they almost spent all their savings. Even if they encounter materials for forming golden elixir, they don’t have spirit stones to buy them. They can only think of ways to survive and slowly look for opportunities.
Poor people are poor wherever they go. For the vast majority of poor casual cultivators, it does not mean that they will definitely be able to break through the golden elixir when they arrive in the Ancient Wind Continent. It’s just that the probability is higher than that in the Zhongsha Region. The rest depends on their luck, and luck is the most illusory thing, invisible and intangible.
This is also the reason why many cultivators still stay in the Zhongsha Region and refuse to go out to take risks when they clearly have no hope of breaking through. They spent 10,000 spirit stones and wasted ten years of time, but they only got an invisible and intangible increase in the probability. Most cultivators can’t make this decision.
After that, the four of them chatted for a while, imagined the future after arriving at the Ancient Wind Continent, and then dispersed. Qingyang's sudden increase in cultivation did not attract the attention of others. On the one hand, it was because Qingyang was too low-key and spent most of his time in seclusion on the ship to practice. On the other hand, it was because Qingyang was too mysterious. If he was at the eighth level of foundation building, he could rival a fifth-level Jindan cultivator. So it didn't seem too strange that his cultivation suddenly jumped from the ninth level of foundation building to the perfect foundation building.
Xiying and Xiao Yuhan were the closest to Qingyang on the entire spirit ship. They knew Qingyang's situation best and might have seen some problems, but neither of them made it public. Now Qingyang had become their support. The more powerful Qingyang was, the better it was for them. They were so happy that Qingyang's strength improved that they didn't have time to let everyone know.
After the breakthrough of the foundation building, Qingyang decided to relax for a while. In the past ten years, he stayed in the small room on the spirit ship every day to practice in seclusion, without any extra activities, which almost made him feel suffocated. So in the following days, Qingyang only returned to the room to meditate and rest at night, and stood on the deck to chat and watch the scenery during the day.
It was not only Qingyang, but also the other dozen cultivators. After ten years of boring time on the sea, they were about to reach their destination, and the ancient continent was in front of them. Who was not excited and looked forward to it every day? How could they sit still?
The spirit ship continued to sail forward, and the probability of encountering other spirit ships and cultivators became higher and higher. In the first few days, there might be only two or three waves every day, and then gradually increased to six or seven waves, seven or eight waves, or even more than ten waves every day. In the last few days, the frequency of spirit ships and cultivators appeared even higher. Spirit ships and cultivators were endless, and they could be encountered almost every moment.
At this point, everyone was finally sure that the Ancient Wind Continent should be in front of them. Otherwise, how could they explain the many spiritual ships and monks passing by?
Sure enough, two or three days later, a black line finally appeared in front of them, blocking the way endlessly. It was unknown how long it was. Needless to say, this black line must be land, and it was a large land that was almost invisible. There were more and more monks coming and going around.
Some were controlling spiritual ships, some were driving flying spiritual tools, some were riding various flying monsters, and some were even flying directly in the air. They were all in a hurry and flew by.
Flying in the air for a long time is a skill only possessed by Jindan cultivators. In just half an hour, more than a dozen Jindan cultivators passed by. Seeing this scene, the scattered cultivators on the ship were filled with emotion. It was indeed the ancient continent with developed immortal cultivation. It was just a large scattered cultivator city by the sea, but there were so many high-level cultivators. It was more prosperous than Qingyan City, the central city of Zhongsha Region. If it was the top immortal cities on the ancient continent, how lively would it be?
When thinking of this, the scattered cultivators on the spirit ship were excited, just like the country people who came to the city for the first time, everything they saw was new and everything they thought was beautiful. From the time they saw the black line in the distance, the spirit ship continued to sail for several hours before gradually approaching the edge of the continent.
Standing on the side of the spirit ship, you can see a towering city from a distance. The city wall is dozens of feet high and stretches for at least one or two thousand miles. Standing under the tall city wall and feeling the towering gate tower, everyone felt their insignificance and humbleness for the first time.
