What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Haichuan Prefecture, Haixin Rock Sea Area.

The inky black seawater churned violently, a strong, pungent smell of the sea mixed with a menacing aura, raging across the surface with the gale.

On the sea, a giant spirit boat, more than 30 meters long, is sailing against the wind and waves.

The towering prow cleaved through the waves like a sharp blade, propelling the ship at full speed toward the deep sea.

The entire hull is cast from indigo-colored metal, and no seams can be found with the naked eye.

On both sides of the ship, dense array patterns shimmered with a ghostly blue light, forcefully pushing away the malevolent seawater that was crashing against it, and creating a visible hemispherical vacuum barrier around the ship.

The waves crashed against the barrier, shattering instantly and turning into a misty spray.

Rong Jing stood on the wide deck.

She reached out and patted the hard railing of the ship's side, feeling the slight vibrations from the high-speed rotation of the array patterns.

"This ship is indeed different."

Rong Jing turned her head and looked at Yuan Gu, who was bent over at the other end of the deck, carefully inspecting the array nodes.

Yuan Gu, as an expert on the Yuanling Boat, was also hired by Luo Yurou and her group at a high price.

"Compared to those dilapidated wooden boats we just saw at the Haixin Town dock, this is like heaven and earth."

"Standing up here, you can't even feel the huge waves crashing outside."

Yuan Gu straightened up, vigorously wiped his hands on his greasy animal skin apron, and strode over.

He reached out and touched the gunwale, his fat face jiggling, his small eyes filled with fascination and wonder.

"Of course!"

"This flagship was painstakingly built by the Qi family over three whole years, using all the resources of the entire clan!"

Yuan Gu stretched out his fingers, bent his knuckles, and tapped the black deck hard, producing a crisp sound like metal striking stone.

"Look at this ship, it's made entirely of the highest grade Xuanhai Cold Iron."

"This thing is incredibly heavy, but absolutely sturdy. Forget ordinary winds and waves; even without the external protective array, the sheer hardness of this iron plate alone could withstand the impact of those Thousand-Jin Realm alien races in the sea, and the ship wouldn't even have a dent!"

Yuan Gu then pointed to the barrier around the ship's hull that was shimmering with a faint light.

"Moreover, the ship is also inlaid with special protective barriers to ward off evil spirits."

"As long as this formation is active, we can travel almost freely in the Haixin Rock area without worrying about the evil energy corroding the bottom of the ship."

Yuan Gu swallowed hard and stomped on the deck beneath his feet.

"The core compartment beneath the ship contains a large-scale elemental energy storage barrier. The stored elemental energy can allow this elemental spirit ship to sail continuously at sea for a full year!"

At this point, Yuan Gu raised his head and looked at Liu Bo, who was standing at the bow of the ship, with a strange expression.

"The Qi family treasures this high-level Yuanling vessel immensely. I never imagined you could actually borrow this precious gem from Qi Huan!"

Hearing Yuan Gu's sigh, Rong Jing turned around and looked at Liu Bo, who was standing at the bow of the ship.

Liu Bo stood facing the fierce wind, his hands resting on the railing, gazing into the distance at the vast sea.

"Aren't you afraid that after Qi Jia realizes what's going on, he'll come back to haunt us?"

Rong Jing, holding the handle of a dark red whip, walked to Liu Bo's side and asked.

Upon hearing the question, Liu Bo turned around and plopped down on the railing.

The sea breeze tousled his hair, but he nonchalantly pursed his lips and shrugged.

"What trouble are you looking for?"

"The boat was lent to us voluntarily by Qi Huan, the head of the Qi family! He handed it to us with both hands, and I couldn't refuse!"

Liu Bo grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and smiled exceptionally brightly.

"You saw what happened back then; he begged and pleaded with us to stay."

"I compromised and agreed to hand over the exclusive recipe for Moon Shadow Flying Fish to the Qi family, and assured them that anyone in the Qi family could learn this unique skill."

Liu Bo shrugged.

"He was overjoyed, his face was so wrinkled it looked like a seahorse was being crushed. He immediately shoved the ship's control token into my hand and gave me a bunch of supplies."

"Think about it carefully, which word of mine lied to him?"

Liu Bo raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

"When we get back, we can just send him a few resort teleportation scrolls."

"Anyway, the shop owner's snack stall is right there. As long as you spend some credits, anyone can master this skill, right?"

"Just like the shopkeeper, I believe in honesty and fairness in business!"

Rong Jing listened to Liu Bo's self-righteous sophistry and shook her head speechlessly.

She sighed.

He raised his hand and pressed his throbbing temples.

She could even imagine the moment when Qi Huan saw how much their Qi family treasured the Moon Shadow Flying Fish, which they monopolized, and now it was openly priced at the shop owner's snack stall, with unlimited supply as long as you paid.

How interesting will the expression on that old face be?

He would probably vomit three liters of blood on the spot and faint.

"Jing-jie, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I learned all of this from you."

"Back then, you dared to ask for 5 yuan for a 500-yuan teleportation scroll."

"We can't let Sister Jing's reputation be diminished, can we?"

Bai Suhuang stood quietly a few steps away.

His white clothes fluttered in the sea breeze, and as he listened to Liu Bo and Rong Jing's conversation, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the waves crashing against the bow of the ship at his feet.

This feeling is wonderful.

He suddenly realized that it was quite interesting to have several companions with such different personalities working together.

Looking back on all these years, I have always been training alone in various places on the battlefield of all races, and it has indeed been quite lonely.

Bai Suhuang withdrew her gaze.

He turned his head and looked at Luo Yurou, who had been silent all along.

Luo Yurou crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against a thick metal mast. The sea breeze ruffled her long hair, making her look as beautiful as a goddess of the sea.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and although her gaze was fixed on the sea, she was clearly not looking at the scenery.

"You seem to have something on your mind?"

Bai Suhuang walked to Luo Yurou's side and asked softly.

Upon hearing the sound, Luo Yurou turned her head to look at Bai Suhuang, then turned to look at Liu Bo and Rong Jing, who were arguing.

I can't explain it either.

Luo Yurou glanced at Bai Suhuang and said softly, "I was just thinking about that fish."

"I clearly remember that when I was at the resort, the owner's food stall had a rule clearly written on it: the ingredients put into the processing tank must be of a different race."

"If you put in ordinary wild animals or other ordinary items, the food stall will absolutely not react, let alone generate any dishes with attributes."

Luo Yurou paused, then emphasized her words.

"But today, Liu Bo put the Moon Shadow Flying Fish in, and the snack stall started serving food."

"This also proves that the Moonshadow Flying Fish, which the Qi family treasures so much, is actually a different species!"

At this point, Luo Yurou's brows furrowed even more.

"However, when I was studying at Cangyun Martial Arts University, I searched through all the records and illustrations of alien races on the battlefield of ten thousand races in the library."

"I have never seen, or even heard of, any alien race that appears in such a helpless form."

"A fish that even a child in the Kaiyuan Realm could easily crush?"

"Moreover, it has actually become a food that human martial artists can directly consume to improve their cultivation!"

"This doesn't make sense."

Upon hearing Luo Yurou's analysis, Bai Suhuang's smile faded.

He straightened his expression, his gaze becoming serious.

"You're right. This whole thing is indeed suspicious."

Bai Suhuang recalled the feeling of observing the fish up close at Qi Family Square.

"Moreover, I can feel it clearly."

"The toxin inside the Moon Shadow Flying Fish that can absorb evil energy and convert it into elemental power is extremely rigid."

"It doesn't seem like something that the flying fish itself developed."

"I see..."

Luo Yurou's pupils contracted slightly.

The situation here is probably not simple.

Thinking of this, Luo Yurou felt that the seawater at Haixin Rock seemed to have become even more unfathomable.

She shook her head, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

"That's enough."

"Regardless of what's going on behind the scenes, our top priority right now is to find the Chaos Sea Heart Crystal that the shop owner needs and obtain the right to live in the villa."

"We'll talk about the rest when we get back to the resort."

Luo Yurou had just finished speaking.

Sudden.

"Knock knock knock!"

A dull thud came from beneath everyone's feet without warning.
