Five days later.

In the Wen family's reception hall, Qin Feng was drinking tea leisurely.

A stick of soothing incense was burning on the elegant table next to it, and the smoke curled up, filling the entire hall with fragrance.

Xuan Gu was not with Qin Feng. He had gone with others to look for the dark place.

Sitting opposite Qin Feng was a cultivator from the Wen family who was in the early Nascent Soul stage. He came specifically to accompany Qin Feng. They had met before at Tianjing Island, so he was not too nervous at this moment.

Qin Feng slowly asked the other party some questions about the Chaos Star Sea so that he could have a deeper understanding of this place.

The Wen family is a thousand-year-old family, a very old one. Although they cannot compare with a behemoth like the Star Palace, their understanding of the Chaos Star Sea is also among the best.

Qin Feng learned a lot of secrets from the monk of Wen family.

But he just listened and had no intention of delving into it further.

"Friend Wen, does it take a bit long to get the sea chart?" Qin Feng suddenly asked.

After using the teleportation array to arrive at the inner star sea, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators dispersed at once, and Liudao led him straight to the Wen family.

After arriving at the place, Qin Feng was placed in the reception hall, while Liu Dao went to the warehouse to look for a nautical chart.

Now, counting down, we have been waiting for almost half an hour.

It's just getting something, why does it take so long?
Or, are Liudao and the Wen family doing something else in secret?
If it weren't for the various formations blocking the Wen family's lair, Qin Feng would have used his spiritual sense to scan the entire place long ago.

But he was not too anxious about it, he just expressed some dissatisfaction.

As for danger, with Qin Feng's current strength, he will not be in danger even if facing siege from a group of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Besides, he was not defenseless. If Liudao really wanted to deal with him, he could discover it in advance and defeat the enemy first!
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please forgive me. The family storehouse is well guarded and protected by multiple formations. It will take some time to open it."

The Wen family cultivator saw Qin Feng frowning and felt a little frightened, so he hurriedly explained.

Soon, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he said, "The head of the family will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter of the Six Paths Supreme Saints spread into the reception room.

That’s right, the patriarch of the Wen family is the Six Paths Supreme Saint. He is naturally a member of the Wen family, and Wen Qing is his biological sister.

Both the brother and sister are great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, which shows how profound the Wen family’s cultivation foundation is.

However, when Liudao wanted to refine his sister into an incarnation, the Lord of the Star Palace, Ling Xiaofeng, saved Wen Qing at the critical moment.

By now, Wen Qing has become one of the Twin Saints of the Star Palace, and has completely broken off with Liudao.

"I am so sorry for keeping Brother Qin waiting for so long."

After Liu Dao entered the room, he bowed to Qin Feng and explained, "But this matter also happened for a reason, so it took some time."

"Oh?" Qin Feng looked like he wanted to hear more details.

Liudao raised his hand, and the Wen family cultivator immediately bowed and took his leave, leaving only Qin Feng and Liudao in the hall.

Obviously, what he was going to say next was more important, so Liudao only wanted to talk to Qin Feng alone.

Without further ado, Liudao took out a magic pill directly from his storage bag.

This demon pill looks ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it is somewhat special. There seems to be a special aura lingering on it, which is completely different from the inner pill of the demon beast in the Chaos Star Sea.

"This thing is the inner elixir of the monster that our ancestors hunted in the Endless Sea."

As he spoke, Liudao took out the sea chart and handed it to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng shifted his gaze from the demon pill, took the sea chart, and immediately probed his spiritual sense into it.

His first impression of the chart was that it was quite old, very old, and definitely had not been modified.

This is also the point that Qin Feng is more concerned about. If the nautical chart is changed, it will be troublesome.

Now that it was safe, Qin Feng continued to look at the nautical chart and found that the chart was actually very rough and the route markings were not very accurate.

This is normal. According to Liudao, this was drawn by his ancestor based on his memory.

The sea charts that Qin Feng usually looks at are a specialized skill, which have been slowly completed and drawn by various cultivators over countless years.

Especially those cartographers, they are all specialized in drawing and have superb skills.

Compared with the special ones, this nautical chart is naturally too different, so it is normal that it is rough.

But Qin Feng could also read it, mainly because the nautical chart also contained the ancestor's special "notes".

In addition to the nautical chart, there are also some local precautions on the map, such as what was encountered and what features are there.

But this Endless Sea is too big. Qin Feng looked at the sea chart and estimated the speed of the thunderclouds. It would take at least eight years to rest and recover his spiritual power!

If I were to make this journey myself, not counting the loss of spiritual energy using the Thunder Escape Technique, it would probably take one or two years.

This does not include any dangers that may occur in the process. If something goes wrong, it will take at least three years.

This takes up too much time for Qin Feng, and he won't waste it on it.

So Qin Feng took a glance at the nautical chart and put it away.

He would wait until he was sure to leave the Chaos Star Sea before discussing it. Right now, he wanted to find out more about the demon pill.

"The demon beasts' demon cores in the Endless Sea look a little different."

"That's right." Liu Dao said, "The demon pills in the Endless Sea have a subtle demonic energy!"

What Liudao practices is pure magic technique.

You can practice by absorbing spiritual energy, but if you absorb demonic energy, you can practice faster!

However, the demonic energy contained in this demon pill was too little. Liudao estimated that there must be a place in the Endless Sea that contained demonic energy. He thought that Qin Feng was very powerful and might have to return to Dajin.

So he brought this up at this time, hoping to ask Qin Feng for help.

"So?" Qin Feng glanced at Liudao and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It turns out that sending out the sea chart is just an introduction, and the follow-up is the real business.

"Brother Qin must also know that I am practicing the Six Extremes True Demonic Art."

Liu Dao sat opposite Qin Feng and continued, "Although this technique is very effective, it is difficult to achieve perfection because there is no demonic energy in the Chaos Star Sea."

"And according to the sea charts of our ancestors, there should be several places with dense demonic energy in this endless sea."

"Brother Qin is from Dajin. If you go back, I would like to ask Brother Qin for a favor."

Qin Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he asked casually, "Brother Wen, do you want me to explore the place containing the demonic energy and then come back to tell you the location?"

"The Endless Sea is boundless, and the journey to Dajin is long and dangerous. If this is your request, please don't ask."

Many places in the human world with abundant spiritual energy have been used by ancient cultivators as energy sources to seal the demonic energy, especially the Endless Sea. This demon pill contains a trace of demonic energy, which means that the demonic energy has leaked from a certain formation in the Endless Sea.

And this demonic energy does not seem to be ordinary demonic energy, but the real demonic energy of the demon world!

Although the amount is not large, the leakage of demonic energy often also means the leakage of spiritual energy. The two complement each other. There may be some powerful monsters near that place.

The cultivation level at the peak of Nascent Soul stage is still a little unsafe, only the Spirit Transformation stage will work.

Xiang Zhili said in the original book that they, the divine monks, could go anywhere in the human world without any danger to their lives.

"Brother Qin misunderstood."

Liu Dao immediately smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I don't want Brother Qin to take such a big risk, but I want to help you with a small favor."

As he spoke, he took out a small bead from his storage bag.

"This is a magic energy bead that has the same origin as my Six Extremes True Magic Art. I have specially set up restrictions inside that can help me locate it."

"Brother Qin, if you see a place with demonic energy on your way back to Dajin, just drop this bead nearby. You don't need to do anything else."

After a pause, Liu Dao said, "As long as Brother Qin agrees to this, Brother Qin can read all the books in my Wen family's collection!"

Although they say that anyone can browse through it, in fact, the really good stuff will definitely be taken away by the Wen family in advance.

Even so, there should be a lot of things to see, otherwise it would anger Qin Feng.

Hearing this, Qin Feng was also somewhat tempted.

After all, the Wen family is a large family with thousands of years of history. Apart from Xinggong and Wan Sangu's Wan family, no other force can compare to it.

The Wen family's collection of books is absolutely extremely rich!
But he had to ask about this matter in advance.

So he said, "This is an easy matter, but I have a doubt in my mind, and I would like to ask Brother Wen to solve it."

"Brother Qin, please tell me." Liudao grabbed the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qin Feng himself.

"Since the Wen family has the sea map and Brother Wen is not weak, why don't you go and look for it yourself?"

Although this endless sea is extremely huge, with Liudao's strength, he should be able to gain something after spending a few years.

That is real demonic energy. For cultivators like Liudao who practice ancient demonic skills, it is definitely a great tonic.

Although he has been absorbing true demonic energy for a long time, when he ascends to heaven, he will go to the demon world.

But it is a path for progress after all, and it is better than the fact that he cannot even break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage now.

"To be honest, Brother Qin, I went to the Endless Sea to look for it in the past, but I came back not long after searching."

Liu Dao explained: "The spiritual energy in the Endless Sea is distributed unevenly. In some places, the spiritual energy is rich, while in other places, the spiritual energy is thin."

"A place with rich vitality is naturally good. It can allow Yuanying cultivators like me to recover our spiritual power and recuperate."

"But when you are in a place with thin spiritual energy, it will be difficult. If you want to quickly restore your spiritual energy, you either need high-level elixirs or high-level spiritual stones, especially the best spiritual stones."

"But top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare in Chaos Star Sea, so I only brought two with me. I mainly used them for medicinal pills, and I quickly consumed most of them."

"Moreover, the Endless Sea is full of monsters and beasts. For some reason, it is difficult for them to develop spiritual intelligence. When they encounter foreign cultivators, they will fight to the death. The battle also consumes a lot of spiritual energy."

"Although I brought a lot of stuff in my storage bag, I had used up most of it in just over a year. I was worried that something might happen if I continued to move forward, so I came back."

The meaning of the Six Paths is very simple. The endless sea consumes a lot of spiritual energy and there are many monsters.

The spiritual energy in a Nascent Soul cultivator's body is of very high quality and cannot be replenished by low-level spirit stones.

At the very least, you need top-grade spirit stones, and a large quantity is required. It would be best if they are top-grade spirit stones or thousand-year-old spirit milk.

It was so difficult that a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't stay inside for long, unless he had other means, such as a spirit pet? A concealing magic weapon? A flying magic weapon?

Qin Feng was not afraid of consumption. There were so many high-quality spirit stones in his storage bag that he could not use them all up. Even the best-quality spirit stones had hundreds of them. He also had thousand-year-old spirit milk, various elixirs and so on.

This was enough for him to cross the Endless Sea, it was mainly a matter of time.

"I see."

Qin Feng continued to ask: "Since it is so difficult to travel after entering this endless sea, I wonder how the ancestors of the Wen family managed to pass through it safely?"

Looking at the situation, walking a distance in the Endless Sea is so dangerous. This ancestor not only crossed the Endless Sea, but also fought back and forth. Isn't this incredibly difficult?

Liu Dao seemed to have expected Qin Feng to ask this question, and answered directly: "The ancestor was also lucky back then. He raised a special spiritual pet that could open up a separate space!"

"That space can store living things and spiritual energy. With the help of that special spiritual pet, our ancestors were able to safely survive in areas with low spiritual energy."

"Unfortunately, that special pet became extinct more than 1,300 years ago, and the Wen family was unable to breed it, so we lost this means."

"Yeah." Qin Feng nodded, he understood.

At this time, Liu Dao continued, "Brother Qin is very powerful, and he also has the Xutian Ding! The Ding actually has similar effects. As long as you bring enough elixirs and spirit stones with you, crossing the Endless Sea should not be a problem."

The Xutian Ding is a magical treasure that can reach the sky. It has extremely strong defensive power and can also trap people and store things.

Indeed, according to Liudao's words, Qin Feng could pass safely with the help of Xutian Ding, but he always felt weird hiding inside the Ding.

"In that case, I can take this matter on."

Qin Feng took a sip of tea and said, "But let me make it clear in advance, I won't guarantee anything about this matter. After all, the Endless Sea is extremely dangerous and things change all the time. I can't guarantee that I will definitely encounter a place with demonic energy."

"That's natural!"

Liu Dao laughed and said, "Brother Qin, of course, puts saving your life first!"

This is common sense. You can't let Qin Feng risk his life to do things for him.

As he said that, he handed the bead to Qin Feng.

After Qin Feng took it, he raised his hand and placed several restrictions on it before putting it away.

He did not hide anything, but put up a ban in front of Liudao, so as to prevent Liudao from locating before the ban was opened.

Seeing this, Liu Dao did not say anything. He just waited for the beads to be put away and then said, "Brother Qin, my Wen family has a large collection of books. Please move."

In this way, under the guidance of Liudao, Qin Feng followed him into the Wen family's library.

On the way, Liu Dao asked casually, "Brother Qin, I see that you seem to have done a lot of research on puppets. Was the Jindan peak puppet that you traded out earlier made by Brother Qin himself?"

"What's the matter? Brother Wen, are you interested in puppets?" Qin Feng tilted his head and asked.

As for puppets, if they are Jindan puppets, they are actually nothing to Yuanying cultivators.

But if it reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it will be a qualitative change!
