Chapter 235 Easy to catch
Ghost Island.
Fang Chen looked at the message in the jade slip and couldn't help but feel a headache.
When he took the task, no one told him that there was a time limit for this task.
It caught him off guard now.
"Old Ye is receiving the Sword Master of Lingxiao Sword Sect. My main body has to watch over Ling Mengqiu to prevent her from doing anything wrong. Senior Longjia cannot be contacted, and Senior Tianyu is still regulating his breathing..."
After briefly reviewing the current situation, Fang Chen was in a dilemma.
The deadline given by the Demon Cultivator Alliance is tomorrow. In this situation, only the speed of the Jindan cultivator can catch up.
However, after counting the three Jindan cultivators on his side, it seemed that none of them were available at the moment.
And even if they had time to help, the most critical issue was how to find this sea beast.
Although this sea beast has the strength to build a perfect foundation, its strength is not strong. The biggest difficulty is that its stealth talent is maxed out and it cannot be found by ordinary means.
Fang Chen's incarnation had been squatting in the sea area where sea beasts often appeared for more than a month, but gained nothing.
"what happened to you?"
Since the incarnation and the original body were doing two things at the same time, Fang Chen, who was far away in Tianfeng Fairy City, frowned.
So Ling Mengqiu, who was standing opposite him, was the first to notice his emotional changes.
"Nothing, I have an urgent and important task to complete. But this will mean I will be slow in my reception of you."
The fact that his external incarnation had infiltrated the Demon Cultivator Alliance was a secret among secrets, so Fang Chen naturally had no intention of telling Ling Mengqiu.
"What kind of mission? I can help with that, too!"
Upon hearing what Fang Chen said, Ling Mengqiu became more energetic, his eyes shining like a child seeing a toy.
"Tianfeng Xiancheng cannot allow guests to take risks, but you may be able to help in some way."
If it was an ordinary mission, there would be nothing wrong in taking Ling Mengqiu out for fun, but the mission location was after all the Star-Moon Sea, the headquarters of the Demon Cultivator Alliance.
Although the righteous immortal sects in the Eastern Region have close contacts with the Star-Moon Sea, accidents are bound to occur.
Just looking at her, Fang Chen suddenly remembered that sword cultivators have extremely strong perception abilities, so he prepared to find out some of their experiences.
"Tell me, how can I help?"
Ling Mengqiu patted his chest, but unfortunately there was nothing there and it made a banging sound.
"I want to hunt a sea monster, but this monster is very good at hiding its whereabouts. I wonder if you can help me track it?"
Fang Chen briefly stated his request.
"This is not a difficult task, but I need to have the scales of this monster or something else, and then as long as it appears within a ten-mile radius of me, I can locate it."
Ling Mengqiu said quite confidently.
“Does it have to be in person?”
Fang Chen touched his chin. If Ling Mengqiu’s plan was like this, then even if she had the ability, she couldn’t take her directly to Ghost Island.
Unless there is a Jindan monk protecting you.
"Why have you been standing here?"
Fang Chen was thinking when a familiar voice sounded beside him.
Turning around, he saw that it was Ye Qingyang. He couldn't help but ask, "Old - Senior Ye, aren't you receiving the Sword Master of Lingxiao Sword Sect?"
"Oh, I told Senior Long Jia about the coming of the Sword Master of Ling Xiao Sword Sect through the message jade slip. The Sword Master was invited by Senior Long Jia to Dragon King Immortal City. Before leaving, he asked us to take good care of his daughter, so I came to look for her."
Ye Qingyang explained the whole story, which made Fang Chen unable to help but complain in his heart.
This Sword Master was too confident that he actually left his daughter in Tianfeng Fairy City, a place where he was unfamiliar with.
But on second thought, the other party most likely kept his daughter with the intention of making friends with Ye Qingyang.
"Ah? The old man left. Tsk, leaving me here alone again."
Ling Mengqiu was slightly surprised to hear that her father had left, and then she complained as usual.
Fang Chen immediately retracted his previous thought.
Well, it seems that this sword master is just a bit thick-skinned.
It is quite consistent with the stereotype of sword cultivators in the cultivation world.
"Senior Ye, since the Sword Master of Lingxiao Sword Sect has left, don't forget the task you promised me to complete. I just received a message saying that the deadline is tomorrow afternoon."
Because Fang Chen's expression was very vague in front of Ling Mengqiu, Ye Qingyang understood what he was saying at the first moment.
He immediately replied, "Then I'll go right away, you two can have a good chat here."
"Wait, is the mission you are talking about the sea beast hunting mission you just mentioned?"
Just as Ye Qingyang was about to enter the teleportation fairy residence, he was stopped by Ling Mengqiu.
She was not stupid, and she immediately thought of the connection between the two things.
Ye Qingyang was stunned. He didn't expect Ling Mengqiu also knew all this. For a moment, he didn't even think of using his spiritual consciousness to transmit his thoughts. Instead, he used his eyes to convey his doubts to Fang Chen.
This scene naturally fell into Ling Mengqiu's eyes.
"Take me with you, too. Didn't you tell me? This sea beast is extremely good at hiding. I can help you track its whereabouts."
Ling Mengqiu couldn't wait to volunteer, mainly because Tianfeng Fairy City was really boring, and this mission sounded very interesting.
It actually required Ye Qingyang, who had reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation, to take action.
And seeing how evasive Fang Chen was when he spoke, there must be some secret.
She was also very curious about it.
"City Lord, I think there is no need to hide the plan of the Demon Cultivator Alliance from this girl. Sword Cultivators always hate evil and keep their promises. As long as this girl swears to keep it secret, bringing her over can ensure that we can complete the mission. Otherwise, even if I take action, I may still not be able to meet the deadline."
Upon hearing that Ling Mengqiu could actually track the sea beast, Ye Qingyang instantly tended to let her participate.
Through the description of the equation, he already knew how good this sea beast was at hiding.
Even though he now possesses strength comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, he is still not 100% sure that he can find and kill the sea beast before tomorrow afternoon.
"I swear on my sword heart that no matter what I hear or see next, I will not tell anyone. If I break my oath, my sword will be broken and my sword heart will be shattered."
Before Fang Chen made a decision, Ling Mengqiu swore directly and looked at Fang Chen with her watery eyes.
"Since Miss Ling has already done this, why should I object? When the time comes, I'll leave the tracking to Miss Lin."
Ling Mengqiu's tracking requires something from the sea beast, which happens to be in his avatar's possession.
He stayed in the area frequented by the sea beast for more than a month, and although he failed to capture or kill it, he collected several scales.
With Ling Mengqiu's help, it is indeed easier to complete the task.
Anyway, with Ye Qingyang, who is comparable to a Jindan cultivator, following us, there won’t be any big problems.
"In that case, let's head to Ghost Island now."
Ye Qingyang took out an identity jade token from his storage bag and threw it to Ling Mengqiu.
Ling Mengqiu thought it was a jade slip at first, but after fiddling with it for a while, he realized it wasn't and looked a little disappointed.
Then he remembered what Ye Qingyang said, and asked quickly: "Where is Ghost Island?"
"Let's talk on the way."
Since the other party swore by the sword heart, there is no need to hide it, but these things can be explained in the transmission channel.
Ling Mengqiu nodded and followed the two into the teleportation fairy residence.
"Wow!"
It was the first time that Ling Mengqiu saw the appearance of the teleportation fairyland. He looked left and right with a look of surprise on his face.
"Let's go. If we want to go to Ghost Island, we have to transfer to the Transmission Residence in Yuehua Fairy City."
The teleportation immortal residence in Tianfeng Immortal City can lead to Yueshenfang Market, Yuehua Immortal City and the newly established Taiji Immortal City.
The Ghost Island is a secret, and only the teleportation fairy residence in Yuehua Fairy City can go there.
"You mentioned the Dragon King Immortal City before, and now there is the Yuehua Immortal City, and the Tianfeng Gate has been renamed Tianfeng Immortal City. Are you setting up another Immortal City Alliance within the Cultivators Alliance?" Ling Mengqiu also extracted a lot of information from Ye Qingyang and Fang Chen's words, some of which were related to each other.
So she asked directly.
"That's it."
Fang Chen nodded. The Immortal Dynasty had not yet been established, so it was more appropriate to say that they were the Immortal City Alliance.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the teleportation fairy residence in Yuehua Fairy City.
There is someone inside, I don't know what he is doing.
When I got closer, I saw that he was someone related to Tianfeng Fairy City.
Lu Qianqiu.
"You have already reached the fifth level of Qi training?"
Ye Qingyang, who possessed the strength of a golden elixir, saw through Lu Qianqiu's cultivation at a glance and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
More of it is joy.
If the other party reaches the late stage of Qi training, he can take over Tianfeng Immortal City on his behalf. This is what Fang Chen had promised a long time ago.
Lu Qianqiu now looks more and more like a native of Yuehua Immortal City, but Ye Qingyang is happy to see this, because in this way, Tianfeng Immortal City can become closer with Yuehua Immortal City under his leadership.
"Grandmaster, no, City Lord Ye, I have indeed just broken through to the fifth level of Qi training."
When he saw Ye Qingyang, Lu Qianqiu subconsciously blurted out "Master", but he immediately changed his words.
"Qianqiu, long time no see, what are you doing in the teleportation fairy residence?"
Fang Chen was naturally very happy about Lu Qianqiu's progress.
He is the link between Tianfeng Immortal City and Yuehua Immortal City in the future. With him, Tianfeng Immortal City can completely become a part of the Immortal Dynasty.
"Following Master Lin's orders, build a transmission channel between Yuehua Immortal City and Dragon King Immortal City."
Lu Qianqiu explained why he was here.
During yesterday's meeting, Fang Chen and Long Jia did talk about building the Dragon King Immortal City in the Wang family.
I didn't expect that they had already started building the transmission channel today.
"You guys did a great job."
Fang Chen also praised him generously, and then continued, "The three of us are going to Ghost Domain Island, but Senior Ye and Miss Lin don't have the identity jade tokens for the Ghost Domain Island's teleportation palace. Do you have any extra ones?"
"That's really a coincidence. Master just asked me to refine a batch of Ghost Island identity jade cards. Here you go."
In fact, Fang Chen didn’t have much hope, but he didn’t expect Lu Qianqiu to really have it.
This saves him from having to leave the teleportation fairyland and go look for Lin Qingshan again.
Ye Qingyang and Ling Mengqiu took the identity jade tokens from Lu Qianqiu, but Fang Chen asked curiously: "Why do you want to refine the identity jade token of Ghost Domain Island?"
"It was Brother Han Zhao who gave the order. He said that some of the residents on Ghost Island have performed very well and can be given the opportunity to become residents of Yuehua Fairy City. Master also approved this proposal, which can effectively motivate the residents of Ghost Island."
Lu Qianqiu knew the whole story and explained it to Fang Chen.
"I see."
Fang Chen was actually a little embarrassed when he heard the news.
He is the lord of Yuehua Fairy City, and he has his incarnation on Ghost Island. However, on both sides, he focused on cultivation and did not deal with government affairs.
Fortunately, both Lin Qingshan and Han Zhao were loyal to him and handled every matter in an orderly manner.
After the greetings, the three of them said goodbye to Lu Qianqiu and embarked on the transmission channel leading to Ghost Island.
"Transmission channel? How far have we just walked?"
After setting off again, Ling Mengqiu finally figured out what these passages were and asked Fang Chen who was standing beside him.
"From Tianfeng Immortal City to Yuehua Immortal City, the straight-line distance is about 500 miles."
"It's been less than half a cup of tea since we left. You Xiancheng Alliance actually have such a good thing? Can you also build a transmission channel to Lingxiao Sword Sect, so that I can come to play with you every day."
A Qi-cultivating cultivator can travel a thousand miles a day, which actually means walking a thousand miles in four hours. And traveling from Yuehua Immortal City to Tianfeng Immortal City takes about two hours, or half a day.
Although the journey was not far, the time spent through the transmission channel was less than one percent of two hours.
It would take three months for the Lingxiao Sword Sect to reach the Tianfeng Immortal City at the speed of a Qi-cultivating cultivator, one and a half months for a Foundation-building cultivator, half a month for a Purple Mansion cultivator, and only two days for a Golden Core cultivator.
There are also some special cases. For example, her father is a sword cultivator. Although he is only at the Purple Mansion level, with the blessing of sword intent, his speed is comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator.
So they rushed from the Lianyun Mountains to Tianfeng Fairy City, and arrived in one night with all their might.
However, as long as a transmission channel is established, even a Qi training cultivator can complete this journey within a day.
In this way, it would be more convenient for Lingxiao Sword Sect to support the construction of the next line of defense.
"That's a good idea. Perhaps I can discuss it with your father someday."
Fang Chen also thought that this suggestion was very good and kept it in mind.
Not long after, the three of them appeared in the underground cave of Ghost Island, and their incarnations had been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, this guy looks like you, could he be your brother?"
As soon as Ling Mengqiu saw the incarnation, he turned around and looked at Fang Chen again, and then asked a question.
Then, her nose twitched, she frowned, and said, "The aura of this person is similar to that of the deputy city lord of Tianfeng Xiancheng."
"Miss Ling, these are some scales of the sea beast. I'll leave the tracking to you."
Fang Chen did not answer this question, but controlled his avatar to hand the sea beast's scales to her, and then said: "Time is running out, let's go to the mission area first."
The teleportation fairy residence is now placed in the area where the Stone Fire is located, and several residents of the Ghost Island are pouring various spiritual objects into the pool.
They were mainly some spiritual plant seeds. With the bumper harvests in Yuehua Fairy City and Yueshen Market, the warehouses had already been filled with these first-grade low-quality spiritual plant seeds, which were just the right time to recycle them.
After many twists and turns, Ling Mengqiu was still very excited and praised the cave exploration. "This is what we call fun. It was right to follow you guys."
The avatar who summoned the flying boat smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be more fun next."
"It's actually a flying boat. Isn't it currently only the Huoyun Sect that can refine this thing? It's also very expensive. The old man has been refusing to buy it, saying that a sword cultivator can be much faster than a flying boat with his sword intent."
When Ling Mengqiu saw the flying boat, he jumped on it instantly like a child who had discovered a new toy, and did not forget to complain about his father.
The one piloting the flying boat this time was Ye Qingyang.
Under his control, the flying boat was like an arrow shot from a bow, and in less than an hour, it reached the area where the sea beast appeared.
"Look at me."
Ling Mengqiu took out the sea beast scales given to her by her incarnation, closed her eyes, and then a sharp sword intent burst out from her body and landed on several scales.
When she opened her eyes again, she turned her head to the east and pointed.
"Go five miles over there, eight miles under the sea, there is a sea beast with the same aura as these scales."
"give it to me!"
After learning this information, Ye Qingyang directly left the flying boat and appeared above the location described by Ling Mengqiu in an instant.
With a wave of his hand, a whirlwind instantly blew up in the sea below.
The whirlwind drove the sea water and formed a huge vortex. The sea beast that needed to be hunted by the incarnation in the mission assigned by the Demon Cultivator Alliance was trapped in the vortex and unable to escape.
"Sleepy!"
Ye Qingyang clasped his hands together, and countless green threads condensed from spiritual energy flew out from his body and wrapped around the sea beast.
Under the surprised gazes of Fang Chen and Ling Mengqiu, he brought the sea beast back to the flying boat.
The whole process went smoothly.
However, after confirming the location of the sea beast, a sea beast with perfect foundation building cultivation and not good at fighting was easy to capture for Ye Qingyang, who possessed the strength of a golden elixir.
This chapter has 4,600 words, so it counts as 4,000 words. Today the project manager treated me to a drink, and I got a haircut when I came back, so I only wrote one big chapter, and I still owe 8,000 words.
