Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 214 Dao Foundation Inheritance
Gu Xinglan.

A cultivator in the early stage of Dao Foundation Establishment, and a guest elder of the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild.

This person has regular features and an extraordinary appearance. He is dressed as a scholar and holds a jade fan in his hand.

The jade fan was brimming with spiritual light, clearly a top-grade magical artifact.

Dong Ping.

A cultivator in the early stages of the Dao Foundation stage, and a patrol envoy of the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild.

The so-called patrol envoys are equivalent to the head of the guards of the mortal merchants' guild, and are mainly responsible for the safety of the merchants' journeys.

This woman has exquisite features and a graceful figure. Her eyes reveal a captivating charm that is truly mesmerizing.

Charm!

However, although this woman's cultivation level was high, her seductive skills were far inferior to those of the core disciples of the Hehuan Sect, and her demeanor was somewhat vulgar.

of course.

This is also because Zhu Ju had lived in Fengyue Valley for a long time and spent every day with Zhou Yuantong. In addition, his powerful spiritual energy enabled him to distinguish that Dong Ping was pure and otherworldly in the eyes of others, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Just like Gu Xinglan, although he didn't react on his face, his eyes kept falling on this woman.

The three transformed into three streaks of light, streaking across the sky and stopping above an area covered with reefs.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu."

Dong Ping smiled sweetly:
"Some time ago, a merchant ship belonging to the Japanese Chamber of Commerce was passing through this area when it was attacked by a group of Thunderheart Fish, resulting in heavy losses."

"The Thunderheart Fish is a low-level demonic creature, but the Fish King has a way to threaten a Foundation Establishment cultivator. There is a Fish King among this group of Thunderheart Fish. You can capture and kill it and sell it to the merchant guild."

Zhu Ju nodded and asked:
"Go into the water to capture them?"

"No need." Gu Xinglan put away her folding fan and tossed something into the water below, where it transformed into a rattle drum.

Even without anyone shaking it, the rattle drum made a series of sounds, creating ripples on the nearby water.

“Thunderfish are highly perceptive and particularly averse to noise. My Ghost Drum is just what I need to lure them out.”

"what?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly:
"So fast?"

"It seems the school of fish is nearby. Fellow Daoist, it's your turn to make a move."

Suddenly, the water below became turbulent, and white fish darted about at an astonishing speed.

"Shh!"

A Thunderheart Fish leaped out of the water, its body crackling with electricity, and lunged fiercely at the 'Ghost Drum'.

The momentum is astonishing!

"You beast." Gu Xinglan chuckled.

"This magical artifact was a gift from a good friend, and I cannot let you destroy it."

With a light wave of his hand, the ghost drum left the water and fell into his hand, but the strange sounds continued.

the other side.

Zhu Ju flicked his finger, and the crisscrossing blades flew out with lightning speed.

Immortal Demon Slayer!
A flash of light appeared out of thin air, instantly transforming into layers of blade nets that enveloped the fish below.

"puff!"

"Pfft!"

For an instant.

Countless Thunderheart Fish floated to the surface belly up.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xinglan and Dong Ping exchanged a glance and nodded slowly.

'Although this Fellow Daoist Zhu has only just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, his sword control technique is remarkable and truly extraordinary.'

'Given time, if one masters the divine ability of splitting sword light, one would be considered a master even in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment realm.'

"squeak!"

A thick bolt of lightning shot out from underwater, heading straight for Zhu Ju.

"Peng!"

A cloud of mist appeared around Zhu Ju, blocking the lightning. The mist rippled and revealed a small banner.

Michen banner!
Shaking the dust-dispelling banner, Zhu Juren merged his sword with his body and plunged into the water.

Not far in front of him, a white Thunderheart Fish, about ten feet long, was opening its mouth wide and spewing out lightning.

Thunderous Heart!

True to its name.

The heart of this fish is a crystallization of lightning, meaning that the power of thunder gathers with each heartbeat.

As it opened its massive jaws, a beam of plasma-like lightning shot out.

The power is amazing.

If one is not careful, even a Dao Foundation cultivator could be severely injured by it.

but……

That's all there is to it.

Zhu Ju's eyes narrowed, and his Horizontal Blade trembled slightly as it slashed into the plasma like a hot knife through butter.

"Shh!"

The blade shattered the incoming plasma, its momentum undiminished as it swept towards the Thunderheart Fish King, suddenly circling around its head.

"Peng!"

The water surface exploded.

Zhu Ju leaped out of the water, carrying the corpse of the Thunderheart Fish King, and gestured to the two Dao Foundation cultivators above.

"You two have lived up to my expectations."

"Fellow Daoist's skill in controlling artifacts is truly remarkable; I admire it greatly." Dong Ping smiled lightly, then her expression suddenly changed drastically.

"careful!"

Gu Xinglan suddenly waved her hand, summoning a magical artifact that pierced Zhu Ju's back.

"Peng!"

The water surface exploded, and a Thunderheart Fish, over two zhang long, burst forth, its body crackling with intense electric light.

This place is amazing; there are two king fish here!
The second one was even larger, more ferocious, and more cunning than the first, and it wielded even stronger lightning power.

If it were to fall on someone, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator...

You will die too!
Zhu Ju suddenly turned around, but it was too late to dodge. His eyes flashed with divine light, and an invisible force slashed down.

Soul-fixing and soul-slashing divine light!

Before advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, he could kill a Six-Aperture Innate cultivator with a single glance; now, this technique is even more powerful.

The Thunderheart Fish King was also killed in one hit.

"Snapped!"

The charging Thunderheart Fish King froze, its body losing control and plummeting straight into the water.

The fish's belly was white, and it had lost all signs of life.

"what?"

"How?"

Gu and Dong looked surprised and glanced at Zhu Ju again, their eyes now showing a hint of apprehension.

The secret method of the soul!

This secret technique, which can ignore most defensive magical artifacts, is also a great threat to Dao Foundation cultivators.

Even if they can't inflict a serious injury, a moment of distraction can be enough to decide the outcome of the battle.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Dong Ping was the first to recover, and lightly clapped her hands in praise:

"Fellow Daoist Zhu's methods are truly remarkable, I admire you!"

"You're joking." Zhu Ju's forehead was sweating, his face was pale, and he looked exhausted from overexertion.

"Zhu's cultivation is ultimately too weak, and he only has these three tricks up his sleeve. If it comes again, we'll have to rely on the two of you."

He quickly picked up the corpse of the Thunderheart Fish King from the water.

The two people above looked at each other and smiled. That's right!

Ultimately, they've only just advanced, and their foundation is too weak.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such modesty." Gu Xinglan unfolded her jade fan and gently fanned herself.

"In ten or twenty years, when your true essence is abundant and you have mastered the art of weapon control, you will be a prominent figure in the Chamber of Commerce."

"go!"

"Let's go back."

*
*
*
A giant island came into view.

The island is several tens of miles long, and even the shortest part is more than ten miles long. It floats quietly on the water.

Zhu Ju's expression was complicated. He pointed to the island and asked in a low voice:

"This... is the merchant ship of the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild?"

"good."

Yan Ying nodded:
"Don't doubt it, this island is shrouded in a third-order formation, which not only allows it to travel at sea, but also to fly in critical situations."

"This is the power of a third-order formation!"

Third-tier formation!

Zhu Ju's eyes showed shock.

He had assumed that the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild's merchant ships were relatively large, relying on transporting unique goods from various parts of the East China Sea to trade with local cultivators, just like ordinary itinerant merchants.

Never thought about it.

It turned out to be a giant island, with a large city on it and six markets operating there.

"The Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce is a first-rate power, second only to the East Sea Alliance and Star Island," Yan Ying said with a smile.
"Having such methods is nothing special."

"In fact, hundreds of years ago, the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce was a top-tier force with a Golden Core Grandmaster in charge."

"go!"

"I'll take you to your accommodation."

As a guest of Daoji, Zhu Ju's residence was arranged in a secluded spot on a mountain near a cliff.

You can see the vast ocean as soon as you step outside.

A stream babbles in the second courtyard, two tall trees cast long shadows, and a few cranes circle overhead.

"This is a set of superior Dharma robes, with protective mantras and Vajra talismans on it, which can ward off water and fire and cleanse itself of impurities."

"Oh!"

"It can also change its external form."

Zhu Ju took the Taoist robe, tossed it onto his body, and it adhered to himself. Although its defensive capabilities were not high, it was extremely convenient.

"This is the lease for a shop in the market. The Yan family has waived your rent for twenty years, so you can do business." Yan Ying handed over another item:
"I remember, Junior Brother is skilled in weapon crafting?"

"Yes," Zhu Ju said.

"Currently, we can refining high-grade magic weapons reliably, not counting special ones, but we are not very confident in refining top-grade magic weapons."

"You're being modest," Yan Ying shook her head.
"Wasn't your Horizontal and Vertical Blade forged by yourself?"

"This..." Zhu Ju smiled wryly.
"The Vertical and Horizontal Blade is quite special, and its success was somewhat coincidental. It may not be possible to forge it again."

This is the truth.

The materials were all provided by Dao Foundation cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, and many of them are rare materials that are hard to find outside.

Moreover, the Heavenly Fire Domain is nowhere to be found.

He really wasn't very confident about refining top-grade magical artifacts.

"Being able to forge high-grade magic weapons already qualifies you as a first-tier high-grade weapon refiner." Yan Ying nodded and smiled.

"Even if they are not Dao Foundation cultivators, the Yan family welcomes them."

"If the Yan family needs your junior brother to refine weapons, I hope you will not delay. Of course... we will provide appropriate compensation."

"Of course." Zhu Ju said:

"I would be more than happy to have business coming to my door."

"Furthermore..." Yan Ying's expression turned solemn:
"The Yan family can currently provide three inheritances for Dao Foundation Guest Elders: the Yuan Yang Qi Jue, the Hun Yuan Zhen Jing, and the Yun Lei Zhen Jie."

"Which one will you choose, junior brother?"

"What are the differences between the three?" Zhu Ju asked.
"In your opinion, which one should I choose?"

"Of these three inheritances, the 'Primordial Yang Qi Technique' is the most powerful, but it lacks subsequent cultivation methods," Yan Ying said.

"The effects of the Hunyuan True Scripture are mediocre, and the progress of cultivation is slow. Its advantage is that it can be modified at will."

"The True Explanation of Cloud Thunder can be inherited by the core of the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce. If you aspire to the Golden Core stage and are willing to stay in the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce, this is the best way to learn it."

"If Junior Brother returns to Mingxu Sect, he can obtain the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend inheritance. It is best to choose the Hunyuan True Scripture."

Zhu Ju understood clearly.

"Then I'll choose the Hunyuan True Scripture."

"Junior Brother, once you've made up your mind, that's fine." Yan Ying sighed, both regretting that Zhu Ju didn't stay with the Chamber of Commerce and envying that he would be able to obtain the Golden Core inheritance after returning home.

“The cultivation effect of the Primordial Chaos Scripture is extremely slow. It is normal to not reach the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation even after one or two hundred years of cultivation.”

"The magical combat has no special effects."

"However, it can extend lifespan. An ordinary Dao Foundation cultivator has a lifespan of over three hundred years, while those who cultivate the Primordial Chaos True Scripture can reach four hundred."

Extend your lifespan by several decades!
This result is already quite good.

After receiving the jade slip containing the cultivation method and swearing an oath never to pass it on, the "Primordial Chaos Scripture" was in his hands.

…………

After seeing Yan Ying off, Zhu Ju returned to his residence.

A group of maids came to pay their respects.

"master!"

"Lord."

Zhu Ju paused for a moment, looking at the pretty maid in the lead, his eyes flashing slightly:

"Three apertures innate?"

"Your Majesty's judgment is impeccable." The maidservant curtsied.
"This servant is Yan Yunying, a collateral descendant of the Yan family. I have been ordered to come and serve you, senior, and manage this courtyard."

"The Yan family has quite the grand gesture," Zhu Ju sighed.
"They actually made someone with innate bloodline a maid."

"My lord." Yan Yunying pursed her lips, her pretty face flushing:
"It's getting late, let me help you change and rest."

He was about to step forward when he said that.

"Wait a moment."

Zhu Ju looked at him with a half-smile:

"Zhu will not leave any offspring here."

"Senior," Yan Yunying said softly, biting her lip.

"This servant dares not ask for favor or bloodline, I only wish to serve my lord, and that will be enough for me."

Serving a Dao Foundation cultivator is not a difficult task; if she weren't still a virgin, she wouldn't even have the chance.

After all, even a little bit of something leaking from between the other party's fingers would be enough for her to enjoy endlessly. If she could conceive a child and completely bring the other party to the Yan family's side, she would receive a generous reward from the family.

Even if there is none at all.

Given Zhu Ju's appearance and demeanor, Yan Yunying wouldn't feel like she was at a disadvantage; on the contrary, she would feel like she was gaining an advantage.

'I'm lucky to have encountered a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator with an outstanding appearance. If I had met one of those old, twisted demons in their seventies or eighties, my life would have been ruined.'

"No need for such service, I am not that delicate." Zhu Ju looked up and spoke slowly:
“I have a shop in the market. You might as well go and manage it. I will give you some spirit stones every month.”

"If you have any questions about the techniques, feel free to ask me."

what?
Yan Yunying looked on with a regretful expression.

However, upon further reflection, I realized that the family here would give me a benefit, and I could also get a spirit stone from Zhu Ju. Two spirit stones would be more than enough to support my subsequent cultivation, not to mention the guidance from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

She immediately smiled sweetly:
"This servant will obey my master's orders."

Zhu Ju nodded.

He couldn't keep an informant by his side; after all, it was time for him to explore the third other world.
