Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 63 Hanhai City

"What? You want to go to sea? No, you absolutely can't."

"What? You're saying there's a high possibility of them becoming gods over there? Then sit down, and we'll discuss this properly."

The sect leader poured himself a cup of tea, his hand holding the cup trembling slightly, as Xu Mingxi had suddenly given him a great shock.

After drinking tea and calming his somewhat agitated emotions, the sect leader looked at Xu Mingxi, who was always causing him trouble. The matter of the Blue Silver Emperor's inheritance site in Sunset Forest hadn't been resolved yet, and he was already talking to him about going to sea. Did he think Xu Mingxi was a wish-granting machine?

"Mingxi, do you know how difficult it is to go to sea? Preparing ships and experienced sailors are minor issues; the sect can handle that for you."

But at sea, determining one's location and defending against all sorts of sea monsters are the most important issues.

"Sect Master, I have a way to solve the location problem. As for how to resist the Sea Soul Beasts, perhaps we can find the answer in the Vast Ocean City."

Seeing Xu Mingxi's determined eyes, the sect leader had no choice but to agree. Not to mention Xu Mingxi, if it weren't for the heavy responsibility of the Star Crown Sect on his shoulders, he would have wanted to give it a try, as it was a chance to become a god.

However, some worries are inevitable. After all, even if Xu Mingxi doesn't become a god, he is definitely a potential Limit Douluo, representing the prosperity of the Star Crown Sect for the next three hundred years.

Xu Mingxi packed his bags and prepared to set off. Accompanying him were the Grand Elder and two Control-type Elders who had broken through to the Soul Douluo level thanks to Xu Mingxi. They owed their life's wish to Xu Mingxi, so what was wrong with accompanying him on this trip?

Their destination was Hanhai City, located on the western coast of the Tiandou Empire, and the largest coastal and port city on the Douluo Continent.

Most importantly, it is adjacent to Poseidon Island and is rich in excellent crew members and powerful sea soul masters. Xu Mingxi and his companions brought a lot of gold soul coins and various resources, and even Bai He's eight-thousand-year-old soul bone.

Once they find a suitable team in Hanhai City, they will set off immediately, with no return date set.

As Xu Mingguang watched the carriage carrying Xu Mingxi and the other three disappear into the distance on Xingluo Mountain, he made up his mind that he would protect Xingguan Sect until they returned.

Before leaving, Xu Mingxi also discussed the future development direction of the Star Crown Sect with the sect leader.

There shouldn't be any major upheavals on the mainland for the time being, and the members of the Star Crown Sect should focus on cultivating and becoming stronger.

Most importantly, pay attention to news about Tang Hao and his son, and focus on Notting Academy in Notting City, Fanos Province, Heaven Dou Empire.

Just half a month ago, the people sent by the Star Crown Sect discovered a small village called Holy Soul Village near Notting City, and a blacksmith did indeed appear in the village.

Upon receiving the news, Xu Mingxi immediately ordered the sect leader to withdraw all personnel, as now was not the time to deal with Tang Hao and his son.

All we need are two people to stay at Notting Academy and teach there, ensuring Tang San's enrollment and his ability to become Yu Xiaogang's apprentice. That's enough.

Xu Mingxi embarked on his journey to Hanhai City. He was not worried about the Star Crown Sect. The sect had not offended the Spirit Hall. Located in the southwest of the continent, it appeared to be peaceful and indifferent to worldly affairs. With the sect leader and the second elder around, he was safe and sound.

He now has only one goal: to follow the guidance of the two marks in the Sea of ​​Spirit to see if the destination is indeed the inheritance of the gods.

The group rode in the carriage, swaying gently as they arrived at the gates of Hanhai City. Even before disembarking, they could already smell the unique salty, fishy scent of the sea. The enormous city was built on a mountain by the sea, its thick walls capable of withstanding most attacks from sea spirit beasts. Numerous ships were moored at the docks, and the corpses of sea spirit beasts were being dragged off the ships by spirit masters and sold on the spot.

The four had two purposes for this trip: first, to hire sea spirit masters who could help defend against sea spirit beasts while possessing some nautical knowledge; and second, to purchase suitable ships, preferably soul tools capable of navigating the open sea.

The group split up. The elders went to the information-selling places in Hanhai City to see if there were any suitable sea soul masters willing to go to the open sea, while Xu Mingxi went to various trading companies to see if there were any suitable soul tools.

Perhaps all the soul tools that could navigate at sea had been snapped up by sea soul masters, because Xu Mingxi had walked through most of the trading shops in Hanhai City without much success. However, he did buy several soul tools that could store large amounts of fresh water, so he shouldn't have to worry about drinking water along the way.

Just as he walked into the last shop in disappointment, although this shop also did not sell nautical soul tools, he told Xu Mingxi a piece of news.

Five days later, a grand auction will be held at the auction house next to the Vast Ocean Great Soul Arena, where a large number of rare and precious treasures will appear. The ocean-going soul tool he wants may also appear.

Xu Mingxi returned to the hotel where she had arranged to meet the three elders. A short while later, the three elders came in, with the eldest elder holding a stack of intelligence reports.

"Mingxi, this is information on well-known Sea Soul Master mercenary groups that we bought from various information brokers in the city. We'll see if there are any suitable ones later, and then we'll talk to them."

"No rush. I haven't secured a ship yet. We can only look forward to the auction in four days. We'll have plenty of time to choose the right candidate."

The three elders nodded and, together with Xu Mingxi, began to review the intelligence in their hands.

The open sea, much like the core area of ​​the far north, is a forbidden zone for humans. The ever-changing weather, the scarcity of resources, and the unknown, powerful sea spirit beasts make many spirit masters hesitate to venture into the open sea.

Moreover, you never know what your fellow crew members on the same ship are thinking. In coastal waters, you might be able to jump ship and escape, but jumping ship in the open sea is tantamount to suicide.

Xu Mingxi quickly flipped through the intelligence in his hand. Although there were many Sea Soul Masters, it was clearly stated that they only operated in the near sea.

They finally found someone willing to go to the open sea, but he was asking for a high price and wanted to pay upfront. Most importantly, he was only a Great Soul Master. It was clearly a case of trading one's life for money.

"Forget it, I'll keep it for now." Xu Mingxi put the information about this Great Soul Master aside. Maybe in the end, she would have to meet this Great Soul Master who had supposedly been a navigator for decades.

"Mingxi, how are things on your end?"

"No, there's only one Great Soul Master who says he's willing to accept Yuanhai. Grandpa, have you seen any suitable candidates?"

The three elders shook their heads. They had thoroughly examined all the intelligence they had, but hadn't found a single piece of information. They wondered if the intelligence brokers were holding back.

The elders decided to go out and take another look tomorrow. They refused to believe that no one would be willing to go to the distant sea for such a great profit.

Xu Mingxi picked up the information about the Great Soul Master again, planning to try his luck tomorrow, hoping to encounter an excellent navigator.

Update plan: Three chapters per day, barring unforeseen circumstances.
