Chapter 4237
“Absolutely, I can arrange for someone to bring the spirit boat over. Just keep in mind that the island is running low on supplies, so your stay will have to be brief. I’ll ensure you’re provided with a spirit boat to return when the time comes,” Elder Liu explained.
Elder Liu was once again trying to find a way to escape!
“Of course, we won’t linger for long,” Chen Wenliang responded quickly with a nod of agreement.
The spirit boat swiftly made its way towards the gathering of pill masters. Once everyone was aboard, a collective sigh of relief was heard!
“You can rest in the spirit boat for now. We’ll salvage some demonic beast corpses first, and then we’ll take you to the island,” Elder Liu informed Chen Wenliang.
“As we approach the stormy sea shortly, the spirit boat may become quite shaky. It’s best for you to stay inside and avoid moving around too much,” Elder Liu cautioned.
“Understood! We’ve just crossed a stormy sea and know how fierce it can be!” Chen Wenliang acknowledged with a nod.
All the pill masters proceeded to enter the spirit boat’s cabin. The vessel was spacious enough that, even with the additional passengers, it didn’t feel cramped at all. Chen Wenliang, Zhong Yi, and the others were assigned separate bedrooms for their comfort.
Meanwhile, on the deck of the spirit boat, a young man in a green shirt looked puzzled and asked Elder Liu, “Elder Liu, now that everyone is on board, why are we heading toward the stormy sea to salvage demonic beast corpses instead of going back?”
“What do you know? I mentioned that our purpose here is to salvage demonic beast corpses for resources,” Elder Liu replied. “If we turn back just because everyone is on board, it will raise suspicions and cause unnecessary complications.”
“The less attention we draw to these passengers, the more secure they will feel. This is also why I advised against keeping them on the island for too long. You see, it’s all about creating a desire to escape…” Elder Liu said, a smug expression on his face.
“Impressive, really impressive…” the young man said, giving a thumbs up.
“As we near the stormy sea, you’ll take a few people to symbolically salvage some demonic beast corpses, but don’t get too close to the storm. If you do, it could be disastrous,” Elder Liu instructed firmly.
“Understood!” the young man nodded in agreement.
Before long, the spirit boat approached the stormy sea, maintaining a safe distance. The young man led a few disciples from the Zhentian Dharma Sect closer to the storm.
Floating around the storm were several demonic beast corpses. Although not as plentiful as those in the storm’s center, there were enough to salvage for the time being!
Kai, noticing they were back near the storm, felt tempted to search for treasures since he had the Wind Setting Pearl, which would protect him from the storm’s dangers!
However, just as Kai was about to step out of the cabin, he was abruptly stopped by two cultivators stationed at the door.
“You can’t go out right now; the spirit boat is in stormy waters. It’s safer for you to remain in the cabin!” one of the cultivators insisted.
“Fellow Daoist, I’m just stepping outside for some fresh air. We’ve just experienced a storm that destroyed our spirit boat, and I want to see firsthand what a powerful storm looks like,” Kai explained politely.
“No, you must stay inside the cabin!” the two cultivators were unexpectedly firm and serious, not allowing Kai to go out.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, since you’re not allowed out, it’s best to follow the rules. This is for your safety!” Chen Wenliang said to Kai.
“Alright then!” Kai nodded reluctantly and turned back.
Despite his compliance, Kai couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, although he kept his thoughts to himself.
Finding a spot to sit, Kai extended his divine sense throughout the spirit boat. It was far more advanced than his own vessel!
Moreover, he noticed several formations within the boat, particularly in one cabin, which was heavily wrapped in formations, preventing his divine sense from penetrating. It appeared to be a meeting room, designed to keep discussions private and shielded from prying ears and eyes.
