Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 475 Qianchuan
"Actually, I don't know much about how Qianchuan Haiji is doing recently. After all, the last time I was there was many years ago. But if you really want to listen, I can give you a brief account."

When Ze Yu saw Qin Huai asking for advice, he did not act pretentiously, but sat back down.

"You can talk as long as we have a vague impression of it."

While Qin Huai was talking to Ze Yu, he opened the advanced exploration notes of this fruit.

"Qianchuan Haiji is located in the deep sea among the ten continents. It is mainly composed of Chenxing Island, Xuanlin Island, Blood Coral Reef and dozens of circular reefs. Most of them are monsters and immortals, but there are also Qigong practitioners from Shenzhou Continent. It is most appropriate to describe this place as a mixed bag, so it is not surprising to meet anyone or encounter anything in Qianchuan Haiji."

Ze Yu stretched out his finger and drew a map in the air.

"According to Daoist Fellow Ze's description, this place seems to be a bit chaotic. I wonder if there is a celestial demon guarding it?"

"No, there are only three top demon kings and their followers sitting in it to stabilize Haiji."

At this point, Ze Yu continued to draw, and drew three images of demon kings with different appearances in succession: "Chan Zu, Shark King, and Qing Qiu, these three have all practiced Taoism for more than 3,800 years, and are only one step away from the realm of heavenly demons. Under their care, Qianchuan Haiji has been generally stable for hundreds of years."

Qin Huai looked at the three demon kings in the air, and some strange thoughts arose in his mind.

Ze Yu didn't talk too much about the three demon kings, and soon changed the conversation to talk about the rules and interesting stories of Qianchuan Haiji.

"Barter? The trading method of Qianchuan Haiji is quite primitive."

After listening to Ze Yu's introduction, Qin Huai also picked out the key points that he was most concerned about and continued to ask: "Isn't there anything like shells and spiritual stones that can be used as trading currency in Haiji?"

"The immortals in Qianchuan Haiji all come from all over the three islands and ten continents. The spiritual materials and treasures they have are very different. It is difficult to find something that they can all accept as currency."

After talking to Qin Huai about the local customs and practices, Ze Yu was ready to get up and go back to his guest room. Qin Huai did not stay any longer and returned to his room with Zero. Based on the information they had just gotten from the chat, they began to compile advanced exploration notes for this fruit.

According to Ze Yu, the ten overseas continents and the eight vast seas actually surround a huge continent called Chixian Shenzhou. The Qi-refining masters of the Pre-Qin period there had the saying of refining essence into Qi, which basically covers the scattered levels and the ten cities.

After refining the essence into Qi, the next step is to refine the Qi into spirit. Depending on the level of cultivation, one can be compared to a great demon who has practiced Taoism for one or two thousand years. Corresponding to the walking in Yama, it is the level of Nine Lights and Eight Extremes.

Once you have completed the process of refining Qi into spirit and passed the heavenly tribulation and started to refine your spirit into emptiness, you can be equal to the seven palaces and six departments, have long life, be immune to all diseases, and travel freely to the ten continents and three islands.

As for what happened afterwards, which was similar to the Five Elders' practice of refining the void and merging the Dao, Ze Yu didn't say anything and Qin Huai didn't ask.

"Pre-Qin Qigong practitioners, huh, I wonder if this time when I go out to sea, I can run into the fleet that the First Emperor sent to Penglai to search for immortals."

Qin Huai thought of the two events in Yanbu that he saw before entering the fruit. He did not disturb the sleeping Ao Ling, but went up to the top-floor observation deck. With a thought, a [Feather Pen] appeared in his hand, and he planned to continue trying to refine the Taoist soldiers.

After summoning a thousand-year-old [Youmengshen] from [Chaoyang Valley], Qin Huai's eyes flashed slightly, and he adjusted his breathing, dipped his pen in spiritual ink, used the Tianwu inheritance, and attracted the water element around his body.

In fact, ever since he embarked on the path to return to the truth, he was no longer restricted to the Qi power in his body when drawing talismans. Instead, he could use various powers of the secret treasures of Yama to serve as the internal support for the effectiveness of the talismans.

Whether it is the four-season enhancement in the twenty-four solar terms, or the water element, qi and blood of heaven and earth, these extraordinary characteristics can be used by him and serve as the energy needed to consume when drawing talismans.

Now that he was on the vast ocean, the water element of heaven and earth was dense, so there was naturally no need to consume the meteorological power in his body to draw talismans and refine Taoist weapons.

Soon, Tian Wu in the Niwan Palace condensed the sea water essence into essence and gathered it on the tip of the pen.

If you look closely, you can see that this trace of essence is blue with a hint of white, and it seems to be no different from the Frost Descent Canglan.

But under Qin Huai's pen, this thin blue light, as thin as a hair, was soon imprinted on the soft and tough skin of [Youmengshen], forming a series of mysterious runes connected end to end.

boo~
As a green-yellow light penetrated the whole body, the [Youmengshen] in Qin Huai's hand also changed its appearance.

What appeared in front of Qin Huai was a veiled witch with skin glowing with a faint blue glow and purple hair that kept twisting behind her head. The dark blue lines all over her body were not ugly at all, but added a bit of indescribable charm to her.

[Chaoyangshi·Fumengniang]: A Taoist soldier with extremely high growth potential, with 1,500 years of Taoist practice. His body is covered with dream dust, his voice is extremely wonderful, and he is best at water magic.

Features (Skills):

[Dream Return]: The dream dust all over the body contains a strange poison that can force people into dreams and kill their three souls and seven spirits.

[Water Flow]: Possesses the water magic expertise equivalent to 80%, and can perform a series of inherent skills such as Dream Prison, Drowning Song, and Tidal Bone.

[Tongxinqiao]: Can peek into the minds of ordinary people, use clever words and debate eloquently, and capture their thoughts.

"It takes a lot of energy to refine such a Nine-Light Peak Daoist Soldier."

Qin Huai looked at the [Floating Dream Lady] in front of him and was very satisfied. He immediately shook his sore arms and planned to refine a few more Taoist soldiers.

Drawing the talisman formation just now consumed almost one tenth of his energy. If he worked overtime tonight, he should be able to refine a few more Taoist soldiers.

Moon-watching, cabin room.

Ze Yu leaned against the cool and warm white wall, quietly closed the door and windows, turned off the lights, and suddenly fell into deep darkness.

Seeing that everything was ready, he took out an old brush from the bag on his waist. The texture of the brush was like bone, ivory, and jade, and it exuded a warm luster like patina. The brush hair was mottled in color, and seemed to be made of various animal hairs.

Ze Yu looked at the pen with an expression of emotion, and then took out the candlestick and inkstone that had been wiped clean as new.

"Candle, generate light and remove dust."

As soon as he finished speaking, candlelight suddenly appeared on the wall, illuminating the interior scene and wiping the beech square table in front of Ze Yu clean.

"Inkstone Master, soak the inkstone with water and grind the ink."

Ze Yu touched Fang Yan's lip ridges, then ran his fingers across the air, condensing the clouds into a stack of white paper.

By the window, Ze Yu spread out the drawing paper and took out several porcelain cups from his bag, which were filled with orpiment, cinnabar, indigo, indigo, rouge and other pigments.

Among the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting popular in the ten continents and three islands, painting does not particularly pursue craftsmanship, but emphasizes artistic conception. It is difficult to find anyone among all the spirit tribes who can match the dexterity of the Bai Ze tribe, so Ze Yu's pigments are all homemade.

Some of the pigments are very precious, such as the ultramarine ground from Kunwu stone in Liuzhou and the white pigment ground from Yuying stone in Changzhou. Ze Yu collected some of them when he traveled to the ten continents, but he was reluctant to use them easily.

Different from his previous void painting, Ze Yu took some powder from each porcelain cup, mixed it on a porcelain plate, then bit his fingertip and forced out a drop of deep red blood with a faint golden glow.

The blood drops fell on the white cloud paper, but did not splash out a cold plum, but turned into a few simple golden lines, adding a bit of indescribable dignity and sacredness to the cloud paper. Ze Yu made preparations and stood in front of the table, holding a pen and recalling everything that had happened before.

In the Penglai painting, there is a smiling man leaning against the bright moon; in the Zuzhou main residence, there is the Chihuang celestial demon who occupies a high position; on the boat in the Moon-Watching Tower, there is the Qimen painter who is having a great conversation.
Ze Yu started to draw on the paper.

After a moment, a picture appeared on the gold-patterned cloud paper.

Beside the Penglai sacred mountain, a bright moon silently shines on the divine turtle that has been carrying the mountain for a thousand years, and the bright moonlight sets off the countless chains that are extremely red and look like black. Qin An, who originally stood in front of the bright moon, was changed by Ze Yu into a dark pattern hidden in the jade plate.

After finishing this picture, Ze Yu wrote six words "the moon reflects the lock, the chain binds the turtle" on the right half of the painting.

After thinking for a while, he wrote next to the six characters: "The moon in the dark sea is immersed in the nameless lock, and the ten thousand foot chain imprisons the blue armored turtle."

"No, it seems that Mr. Qin is also a demon who can resist the world."

Ze Yu looked at the unresponsive gold-patterned cloud paper in front of him, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he made another piece of gold-patterned cloud paper, poured some Yu Liquan into the inkstone, threw in a piece of pine smoke ink, took out a paperweight with blue and white twined flower patterns to hold down the cloud paper, and after thinking for a long time, he wrote a sentence: "Phoenix flies and soars."

When the ink had soaked the paper thoroughly, Ze Yu used an old brush to outline the shape and then lightly colored it with paint.

A painting was completed in an instant. The red phoenix on the phoenix tree had its feathers as red as fire and its wide belt swaying. It ruled the world and controlled hundreds of birds, and seemed to be looking at the bright yellow phoenix chick hidden in the green pine forest from afar.

"Searching for the Phoenix in Ten Continents."

When the words were written and the painting was completed, the scenery on the cloud paper was illuminated by the golden pattern like a corona. The red phoenix in the painting shone brightly, and the wide belt of feather gauze actually swayed, with bright flames and brilliant brilliance.

A ray of red rainbow light leaped up from the painting and transformed into a red phoenix about the size of a baby's fist, flying straight towards Ze Yu's forehead.

Snapped!
The red phoenix exploded and flames dissipated. Ze Yu frowned and looked at the gold-patterned cloud paper that had calmed down again, feeling helpless.

"To imitate the true meaning of the Heavenly Demon, it is really too difficult for me now."

Feeling the empty mana in his body, Ze Yu relaxed his brows and threw the old brush in his hand to the inkstone on the table: "Master Yan, wash the ink. Candle, put out the light."

After putting away the two new spiritual paintings, Ze Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples, sat on the bed, and fell asleep without undressing, as if he had completed some task that made him feel relieved.

"Two celestial demons, a group of demon kings, and two pure dragon species. Where did such a large force come from?"
-
"Hey, Xiao Qin, we're finally here!"

Zheng Zhaomin, who was conducting a sand table simulation with Qin Huai on the observation deck, suddenly became distracted and looked up, pointing at a small black dot in the distance.

In the distance among the blue waves, three islands gradually emerged.

The island closest to the ship is quite large, with many hills, volcanoes, and dense vegetation. Only the northern coastal area is a plain.

You can see thousands of shops and buildings on the plain, with grand styles, flying eaves and hanging lights. The ground between the buildings is paved with stone bricks. The streets are wide enough for eight horses to run side by side, and the streets are crisscrossed in an orderly manner.

On both sides of the street, every hundred steps, there are stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes and inlaid with precious pearls and jades, which match the distribution of stars in the night sky.

Before arriving at the island, one could already see the merchant ships and caravans traveling back and forth in Qianchuan Haiji. All the independent cultivators from all over the world gathered here to trade goods, search for treasures, enjoy the lanterns, compete and cheer. It was truly prosperous.

Ze Yu had also walked to the observation deck, looking at the islands and reefs in the distance, his brows unconsciously furrowed a little.

"I haven't been here for a few years. How come there is an extra field at Qianchuan Haiji?"

It turned out that there were more than a hundred large three-sail ships connected and surrounded outside the island reef. Each ship was a hundred meters long. They were connected and fixed in a chain, so it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a man-made ship island.

With Qin Huai's extraordinary eyesight, in addition to the merchants coming and going, he also saw many sea monsters. Each of them looked ferocious, wearing helmets and armor, holding swords in their hands. They seemed to be subordinates of the demon king who guarded this place.

"Boys, prepare to enter the harbor and drop anchor!"

Seeing that they had arrived at the destination, Zheng Zhaomin immediately raised his voice and ordered the [Tiger Power] to slow down, control the strength of the alchemy matrix, and sail towards the harbor.

Hundreds of merchant ships were already moored in the harbor of Chenxing Island, most of which were tower ships over fifty feet long. A hundred-foot-long ship like the "Wangyue" approached. Although it was not the largest in size, its spotless white color was extremely eye-catching.

There were many people on the decks and sides of the ships, not only in the dock and commercial street, but also on each other's ships, chatting before even reaching the island.

At any time, you can see big monsters flying away and landing on other ships, drinking wine, eating meat, singing songs, or simply completing transactions on the ship.

The lights on the ship were on all night, illuminating the entire beach. In just the time it took Qin Huai and his crew to stop the boat, they saw no less than a hundred ships entering and leaving the port.

According to the perception amplified by Qin Huai using Kunlun, there are at least 100,000 people gathered here, and less than one percent of them are human Qigong practitioners, while the others are more or less demons and immortals with some cultivation experience.

Amid the welcoming rain of flowers, there were faint ripples under the water. A boy in green jumped onto the Moon Watching Pagoda and bowed in a proper manner.

"Do you know the immortal's honorific title?"

"Penglai, Fengsong."

"So you are the immortals from Penglai. You are a distinguished guest. Please come into the island and have a chat with my master."

The boy presented an invitation and said respectfully.

Tan Song took the invitation, his expression unchanged, and said with a smile: "Please ask the boy to lead the way."

"Of course, please follow me, my dear guest."

The boy in green had a cleft behind his ear, and was obviously a monster rather than a human. After smiling slightly, he jumped off the boat.

[Bite the Green Shark]: One of the five hundred Yakshas under the command of the Shark Lord of Shenxing Island in the Abyss Sea. A shark demon with a thousand years of cultivation, he has a mouth full of steel teeth and has the power to crush skulls and break bones.

Qin Huai looked at the bustling sea city in the distance, then turned to Ze Yu and said, "Fellow Daoist Ze, are you interested in going with Feng Shuai to take a look?"

Ze Yu's eyes turned slightly, and he also said: "I just want to understand current affairs and figure out the changes."
