Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

When Qian Shui was mentioned, Yin Jin still looked fearful and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Teacher, he's been missing for six years. He's probably dead by now..."

"Tch~ It would be really strange if he died... The problem is I'm afraid he'll suddenly appear!"

You don't understand!! If he had come earlier and hit me, that would have been fine! But since he never showed up, this beating has been haunting me, I can't eat or sleep properly!

"Uh……"

"Sigh...it's just that Xiaofeng..."

"Feng Jingyi?"

"A city of slaughter..."

……

"King of Slaughter, I have only one question: Has the 'Demon Singer' ever left the City of Slaughter?" Standing on the Hell Slaughter Arena, where she had won a hundred battles, Feng Jingyi asked the King of Slaughter.

Since entering the City of Slaughter, she has been investigating the whereabouts of Qian Shui. Qian Shui has a great reputation, but all that is known is that she eventually took the Hell Road.

Upon reaching this point, Feng Jingyi felt uneasy. At least a year before she entered the City of Slaughter, Qian Shui had already broken through the hundred-win mark. Logically, he should have left by now, yet she hadn't received any information from the outside world. So there was another possibility...

"He did indeed choose the path to hell, but whether he passed through it, I do not know!"

The King of Slaughter knew that the birth of a new God of Slaughter could not have been without warning, especially since Qian Shui had directly killed the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. But what obligation did he have to tell Feng Jingyi?

"Is that so?"

Feng Jingyi's heart sank to the bottom; the possibility she didn't want to believe was becoming more and more real.

"I choose to walk the road to hell!"

"Hmph! Since that's the case, 'Wind Witch,' you'll have to bear the consequences of your arrogance!"

Chapter 154 Chance Encounter

"Mingdu... how should we start?"

Floating around in mid-air, Qian Shui was thinking about how to take one or two Soul Masters with her, but she didn't want to show off in front of others.

"Ugh, this is too much trouble! Hmm?"

With her spiritual power covering the entire Mingdu and its surroundings, Qian Shui naturally couldn't only focus on those with deep soul power; there were also the young ladies coming and going.

"Holy crap, he's trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, huh?!"

On a small road outside Mingdu, some very ordinary scenes of harassing women took place. However, in this fantasy-themed robbery, without some real strength, it's easy to backfire.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a silver-haired young lady! Her blue eyes turn red when she activates her martial soul, just like Sister Feng..."

Upon witnessing the scene of the robbery, Qian Shui instinctively flew over, but before he even arrived, everyone scattered. After all, the young lady in the black dress was a high-level Soul Master with the best Soul Ring combination, making her look very powerful.

"Now that you've arrived, why the rush to leave?"

"Uh……"

Qian Shui, confident in his martial prowess, was in a special state where he was not in his usual state. He simply appeared as a simple man in green robes, carrying a wrapped-up trident of Poseidon, standing atop a large tree by the roadside.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm not with those people! And I'm a foreigner!"

Actually, they didn't understand each other's language, but Qian Shui's mental strength was strong enough that she could directly read the other party's meaning. They were speaking Douluo language, but it was just a matter of translating directly through mental strength.

This display of power caused the opponent some apprehension. After all, not everyone possesses such strong mental strength. The Sun Moon Continent is not the Douluo Continent, where Title Douluo powerhouses are extremely rare. Generally, reaching the Soul Douluo level is already considered a peak powerhouse.

"So you're a senior master! I am Huan Hongchen, this is my disciple Ji Jiaojiao, and this is my son Mu Hongchen! Jiaojiao, Mumu, quickly pay your respects to the senior!"

'Disciple? Son!'

The girl in Qian Shui's eyes has fallen apart!

'Damn it! It's a young woman! Her voice was so sweet, like a young girl's!!'

'Oh, wait a minute!'

"Red dust?"

'An ancestor of the Hongchen family? What a coincidence!'

"Yes, senior, Hongchen is my surname. It's not a common surname, just a minor one from a remote village."

"No, how old are you?"

Ren Ran was somewhat concerned, but Qian Shui was focusing on the wrong thing; however, those who understood didn't realize the other meaning.

"Oh! I am 43 years old, my martial soul is the Crimson Ice Toad, and I am a level 71 Soul Saint!"

'I didn't check your household registration! But you really can't judge a book by its cover in a fantasy world! Waaaaah!'

No, no! I need to think about Xiaoxue! I need to think about Xiaoxue! I need to think about Xiaoxue!

Ah! I love Xiaoxue! Calm down!

Huan Hongchen had no idea about Qian Shui's inner thoughts, and simply gestured for his disciple to introduce himself as well.

"Ji Jiaojiao, Martial Soul Longsword, Level 35 Soul Master."

"This child is 18 years old, yet still has such a cold demeanor. Please forgive him, senior."

"Mu Mu just awakened his martial soul this year, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, with innate soul power level 6. He has indeed inherited his father's talent..."

When introducing her son, Huan Hongchen felt both proud and sad.

'Single-parent family, right...'

"I don't know, senior... Oh! I was just curious! I meant no offense whatsoever..."

Looking at Huan Hongchen bowing repeatedly, Qian Shui was also somewhat moved.

"This cautious and meticulous attitude shows the strength of a mother..."

Qian Shui naturally knew that she was testing him. Pretending to be a senior expert to deceive people is a common practice, but one cannot really offend a true senior expert.

"Let it be a misunderstanding... Anyway, I only need people with soul tools, not someone like Boss Cao~ But I'll just cover up the soul rings~"

Qian Shui could change the color of his spirit rings: "Just refract it a bit~" In an instant, nine spirit rings, one yellow, one purple, one black, one black, one black, one black, one black, one black, appeared around Qian Shui. A powerful aura poured out. He straightened his back, pulled in his stomach, and put on airs. He said in a deep voice, "My surname is Wang. I just happened to be passing by."

"So it's Your Majesty with the title of 'Your Majesty'!"

Only after confirming that Qian Shui was indeed a highly skilled senior did Huan Hongchen feel relieved.

...

"May I ask what brings you to Mingdu, senior?"

Since we were both going to Mingdu, we naturally traveled together.

The master, apprentice, mother, and daughter were all dressed in black, not entirely in a glamorous style, but clean and tidy. Qian Shui judged from their clothing that they were probably not nobles.

“I have some ideas, but I’m not a Soul Master. I came to Mingdu to find some free Soul Masters to hire to work for me. The conditions are good, but I want to hire them for life, which is a bit difficult to find.”

Huan Hongchen frowned and asked with some doubt, "Why a lifetime employment?"

"I'm a foreigner~ If I hire someone, I'll naturally take them back to my country! The journey is long, so I won't go into details. Some things involve classified information, so it's impossible to let them go!"

"What? You're interested? If it's such a coincidence, there's no need to go to Mingdu. Name your price, lifetime soul rings and soul bones included, and guidance on cultivation!"

"Uh...this..."

Huan Hongchen naturally looked embarrassed. Qian Shui's price was extremely high, and the promise of a Title Douluo was extremely credible. However, it was like a pie falling from the sky, which made people wonder if there was something wrong with it.

"Here, this is exactly what I wanted!"

He took out a sketch and handed it to Huan Hongchen, but Huan Hongchen only saw an oval-shaped object. The drawing was not detailed, so Qian Shui added a bit of mental energy to explain it.

"Oh, this..."

"Senior, isn't this just an ordinary dragon boat? You can usually find relatively low-level soul tools like this in the soul tool market of a coastal city!"

"Very low-level?"

'This is a submarine, for crying out loud!'

"How deep can it dive? Can it reach 10,000 meters?"

Qian Shui disagreed; he wanted something at least as high as the Nautilus!

"Uh……"

Now it was Huan Hongchen's turn to be dumbfounded. Although she was a Soul Master and was used to discussing data, this old man was talking about 10,000 meters. Did he really know what that meant?

"No, senior, although I haven't personally made this kind of soul tool, the best record for a dragon boat to date is only a dive to a depth of 1,000 meters. But speaking of which, is the ocean really 10,000 meters deep?"

"There probably are..."

Actually, Qian Shui wasn't sure either. "I only remember that the Mariana Trench on Earth is over ten kilometers deep. There should be even deeper trenches in fantasy worlds..."

"Oh well, never mind. How good are you? If you're not good enough, you're the one. I don't have much time!"

He only has five years. He needs to go around in circles, hunt for souls to replenish his soul and change his soul bones, and he also needs to go back to Douluo Continent to make arrangements for his funeral. He needs to hurry up.

"Uh……"

Before Huan Hongchen could do anything, her disciple and son began to look at her with hostility.

'Zhao, giving her a translator option and then quitting... that's pointless!'

"Don't look at me like that. You can't beat me... The key point is... you're all travel-worn and can't even afford a carriage. Not only are you dressed plainly, but you also seem to know how to navigate social situations and come from a single-parent family. You don't look like you have any property or business."

Although I don't know why a Soul Saint like you is doing so poorly, every family has its own troubles, so I won't pry. Anyway, we've met, so why bother asking? We seem to have a connection. How about joining me?

Huan Hongchen's expression was complicated, but she stopped in her tracks. There was a reason why she, a Soul Saint, had reached this level, but she did not expect that Qian Shui could see through her line of work so clearly.

"Does what you said earlier still hold true?"

"No problem~"

Seeing that Huan Hongchen was wavering, Qian Shui naturally pressed on, pointing two fingers at her forehead and showing her some images.

"I want something like that too. If you have the ability to make it, I'll buy you a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone!"

"A humanoid soul tool?!!!!!"
