The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

When Yan Qing met up with Lin Du and the others the next day, he looked dejected. He was the second tallest man after Mo Lin, but he seemed to have shrunk by a head.

Lin Du even felt that the resentment emanating from this person as he walked towards him could feed ten evil sword immortals.

"Good morning, Junior Uncle."

Lin Du took a step back. "Are you possessed?"

Yan Qing slowly came back to her senses. "My parents can't understand why a sect has fewer than twenty people, or even a General Affairs Hall or a Punishment Hall, just like they can't understand why Junior Uncle only uses scallions and not green onions when cooking."

Lin Du: Hmm?

Mo Lin patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, just know that. They're all family, don't let them affect you."

The Supreme Sect always maintained a relaxed attitude. Even when Feng Chao came, they wouldn't stand up to greet him at the dinner table and would continue eating as usual.

Although there is reverence for teachers and elders, there is more often a close and indulgent relationship, and there is not much adherence to etiquette.

Yan Qing sighed, "It's difficult. If it were possible, who wouldn't want a separate genealogy book starting with me?"

Yuan Ye leaned over and put his arm around Yuan Ye's shoulder. "Relax, I've been expelled from the family tree. If I want, I can start a new book for myself right now."

He grinned. "We cultivators aren't like those demonic beasts. When did we start caring about bloodlines and lineage? Whether you're a prince or a commoner, aren't we all starting from the same point?"

Even if you are born with abundant resources, the higher you go, the more you rely on natural treasures and enlightenment.

Lin Du deserves to be called the most talented, and is also recognized by everyone in the sect as having the best comprehension.

Yan Qing let out a long sigh of relief. "I understand. A hero's origins are irrelevant."

Sifang City is not far from the sea. After passing through another large city, we arrived at the coastal city. A long queue of people had formed at the city gate, with people bustling about in an endless stream.

Yan Qing looked from afar and said, "This is what my father was talking about. The Feng'an Chamber of Commerce in Linhai built dozens of large ships for the purpose of creating the Cold Moon Secret Realm that appears at sea during the winter solstice."

The Cold Moon Secret Realm always appears in the Endless Sea, far from the shore, so it is mostly found at sea.

The Endless Sea is rich in spiritual energy and rarely visited by humans. The sea beasts there are even more ferocious and bloodthirsty than the monsters in the Demon Realm. Ordinary spirit boats drifting on the Endless Sea are very likely to be besieged by sea beasts.

For safety reasons, most people will still choose to go with the ship.

"Junior Uncle, should we buy boat tickets?" Yan Qing asked.

Lin Du succinctly stated, "Follow the crowd."

Mo Lin and Xia Tian nodded in agreement.

The group waited in a long queue before finally entering the city.

As soon as we entered the city, we heard vendors shouting, "I have three boat tickets from the Feng'an Chamber of Commerce! First come, first served!"

Lin Du paused slightly, while Mo Lin frowned. "Are they all sold out?"

Yan Qing thought for a moment, "My father said that there will be a daily quota of thirty tickets, three for the best, nine for the middle, and eighteen for the worst."

"Most of the people who go to the Cold Moon Secret Realm are cultivators at the Cloud Soaring Realm and Sunrise Realm. Below that are probably laborers from the merchant guild who go to mine. It's only open for half a month. Are the tickets so scarce?" Yuan Ye frowned.

"Then we won't be unable to buy them, will we?" Ni Jinxuan asked worriedly.

Lin Du pondered for a moment, "Let's eat first, then we'll inquire about it."

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

But when they stepped into a restaurant, the waiter apologized and explained that the private rooms upstairs were full, and only regular seats were available.

The six members of the Supreme Sect even had to sit separately.

Both of these large restaurants were like this.

Lin Du changed his mind, "Let's go to a small restaurant, or if that doesn't work, a street stall, we'll just eat our fill."

She took out the lotus honey, tilted her head back and swallowed a mouthful to protect her stomach.

The food served in the grand restaurants was proper spiritual food, but the food served in the small restaurants and street vendors was different, so they ate at proper restaurants more often along the way.

In small coastal towns, spiritual energy is scarce, and naturally grown crops can hardly be considered spiritual items. The food sold by street vendors can only fill one's stomach and cannot provide any spiritual essence; it may even add impurities to the body.

The people of the Supreme Sect don't have any taboos. They absorb spiritual energy as easily as eating and drinking. No matter how blocked it is, a pill will solve the problem.

A strange sight appeared on the bustling street: a group of cultivators, dressed in the latest and best-protected robes of the North, sat calmly at a roadside stall, eating stewed mackerel with shellfish, sea fish, mantis shrimp, and other seafood. On the table were five steamers of large steamed buns.

In particular, there was a monk in blue robes with his eyes covered by a white veil. He looked like a celestial being descended to earth, seemingly untouched by worldly affairs. Yet, he was holding a large steamed bun and eating faster than anyone else.

Given that Mo Lin has already reached the Huiyang Realm and can utilize the energy of heaven and earth for his own use, the important tasks of peeling the shell and adding things were entrusted to him.

Yuan Ye looked around and realized something was wrong. "Wait, Senior Brother, why did all the mantis shrimp you peeled end up in Second Senior Sister's bowl?!"

Mo Lin used his spiritual power as a blade to easily cut open the shrimp and peel off the shells. Then, he used his spiritual power to pile the shrimp meat into Xia Tianwu's bowl with perfect ease. Hearing this, he lifted his eyelids and said, "Because Tianwu eats slowly, if I don't help her, she won't be able to finish this big bowl in just a few bites."

Yuan Ye protested, "Junior Uncle is blind! Why don't you peel it for him!"

"Junior Martial Aunt doesn't want to, and is her eye condition affecting her eating speed?"

The group looked at Lin Du and noticed that the seashells and shrimp shell fragments next to her were piled up higher than everyone else's. Lin Du picked up a shrimp, cast a spell with her spiritual power, and the shrimp shell froze and became brittle. With a gentle flick, the shrimp shell shattered into pieces, and the shrimp meat came out.

However, she had excellent control over her spiritual power and was extremely fast, so the shrimp inside were still warm.

An eerie silence fell over the group.

More and more people stopped by as they passed by, and some monks frequently looked back.

It's weird, take another look.

Some people vaguely recognized that this group seemed to be from the Supreme Sect, but after hesitating for a long time, they still couldn't bring themselves to ask.

Hard to comment.

After finishing his meal, Lin Du leisurely wiped his hands. "Let's go to the Feng'an Chamber of Commerce."

"But today's ticket sales have already ended," Yan Qing said, puzzled.

"The boss just mentioned that the Feng'an Chamber of Commerce has also recruited mining workers," Lin Du said with a slight smile.

For some reason, everyone sensed a hint of conspiracy in her otherwise calm face, except for a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

"Who said we're here to buy tickets? We're here to do business," Lin Du stood up. "And to take care of the boat tickets while we're at it."

At the entrance of the Feng'an Chamber of Commerce, a number of people were already waiting for tickets to be released at Chenshi (7-9 AM) the next day. Those who entered the store were not interested in buying magical artifacts, but rather in inquiring about boat tickets, chasing after the shopkeeper to ask if they could obtain the qualification to buy tickets if they purchased a certain amount.

The shopkeeper kept laughing it off, refusing to give an answer.

Lin Du led his men straight into the trading company. "I'm looking for your boss."

The shopkeeper glanced at the group and couldn't help but think of a joke in the official gazette of spring.

Frost and snow cover the forest, lamenting the lateness of spring, yet still striving for a glimmer of hope.

Everyone knows this saying, but seeing the real person is quite different.

When a person comes into view, it feels as if frost and snow have descended upon the world.

"May I ask, are you Master Lin from the Supreme Sect?"

"I am Lin Du of the Supreme Sect. Of course," Lin Du's voice was soft but carried an undeniable firmness, "I am not here today as a disciple of the Supreme Sect."

The shopkeeper's eyes swept over the group of people behind him. They all looked like outstanding individuals, probably disciples of the Supreme Sect.

"I wonder what business Master Lin has with our master? After all, the master is very busy at this time." The shopkeeper was afraid that these disciples, who did not know the ways of the world, would take advantage of their status and try to pressure him to buy tickets.

Even through the fine gauze, Lin Du could see the shopkeeper's cunning, but he wasn't annoyed. "I'm here as a guest elder of the Liangchen Merchant Guild. The Cold Moon Secret Realm is a great place for mining; who wouldn't want to mine more?"

Yan Qing and Yuan Ye both sighed inwardly, "It really is Junior Uncle! How come they didn't think of that!"

The manager of Feng'an Trading Company's gaze sharpened, and his expression became serious.

"Manager, you need to understand that the amount of harvesting depends not only on manpower," Lin Du glanced back at Yan Qing, "but also on the tools."

The shopkeeper immediately bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask the owner."
