Chapter 255: Chapter 129: Recruitment, Cultivating the Taiyi Golden Armor Technique, Fish Demon_2

At the very least, it can withstand dozens of impacts from a mid-grade Fish Demon.

Moreover, there is a First-Grade High-Level Defense Array specially set up on the fishing boat. Once activated, it poses no danger of being breached, even under the siege of several high-tier First-Grade Fish Demons, as long as one avoids certain hazardous waters.

The entire fishing boat’s cost is, of course, considerable. The bare boat costs six thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and if arrays and other equipment are added, it exceeds ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Captain Ge Yuan Mountain overheard and couldn’t help but smile as he spoke.

Qian Xiaoyue couldn’t help but be astonished upon hearing this.

She hadn’t expected this fishing boat to be so expensive.

To think there are several larger and more robust fishing boats in the row of fishing boats they just saw, it would mean each one would cost tens of thousands of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones?

"Set sail! Lift anchor!"

Immediately following Captain Ge’s shout, the anchor was raised, and the whole fishing boat started to move.

Inside the fishing boat, there is a resting cabin, but there aren’t many rooms. It’s barely enough if two people share one room or three people share another.

However, most cultivators prefer to cultivate alone and are not accustomed to sharing a room with others.

Luckily, the boat journey isn’t long; it takes just two days to reach the destination. So, except for the few cultivators who stay in their rooms to cultivate, everyone else remains on the deck.

Some people leaned against the railing to admire the distant Jade Lake scenery, some found a spot to meditate, and others gathered in twos and threes to exchange recent insights.

Qian Xiaoyue was also with Lu Wei’Er at that time, the two of them chatting as if the gap between them had vanished, at least appearing to be laughing and talking together.

Of course, Zhou Changwang knew that once a gap exists, it couldn’t disappear so easily. The two seemed to have reconciled as if nothing had happened, but were merely suppressing that gap in their hearts.

To this, Zhou Changwang said nothing more.

Neither of them was wrong; if there was any blame, it was only because his strength was slightly lacking.

Then, Zhou Changwang found Shen Xinyue and handed over thirty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, saying: "Sister Shen, this is the fee for the boat ride."

"Okay."

Shen Xinyue accepted without refusal.

Fair is fair; if it were a cultivator from Shuiyun Pavilion, she would naturally pay the Spirit Stones. But since Zhou Changwang neither belongs to Shuiyun Pavilion nor plans to go to Shuiyun Immortal Sect for a sect entrance exam, he naturally needs to pay for this boat ride himself.

Not just him, Gong Bai Xue, Wenren Xiu, and Fang Shitong had all done the same.

In contrast, Zhao Gongpeng did not need to spend any Spirit Stones due to his family’s property.

"By the way, what are your plans for going to Divine Wind Valley Marketplace this time?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Suddenly, Shen Xinyue asked.

Zhou Changwang paused and thought before saying: "Plans? Of course, the first thing is to find a place to settle down."

"Are you interested in joining our Shuiyun Pavilion?

In Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, we have enterprises that are much larger than those in Fengming Dock Marketplace.

The Pavilion Master is my senior sister Tang Yu Yan, and I was originally the Vice Pavilion Master in Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, so I have certain authority there.

Actually, inviting you to join Shuiyun Pavilion does not require you to do much. It’s just that in the future, the Spirit Plants you cultivate need to be prioritized to us at Shuiyun Pavilion.

In return, I can help secure a Medicine Garden for you.

At the very least, it’s a Second-Grade Spirit Land Medicine Garden."

Shen Xinyue earnestly invited.

Previously, even though she was grateful to Zhou Changwang, she didn’t go as far as inviting him to join Shuiyun Pavilion.

After all, he was essentially just a loose cultivator Spirit Plant Master. While the quality of his Spirit Gathering Grass was good, many Spirit Plant Masters in both Fengming Dock Marketplace and Divine Wind Valley Marketplace could achieve this.

Until this time.

After single-handedly killing a Seventh-Layer Qi cultivator and a Fake Copper Corpse comparable to a top Ninth-Layer Qi cultivator, her opinion of Zhou Changwang changed completely.

Although, as he said, Zhou Changwang only relied on Spirit Talismans and their power.

But being able to use so many Spirit Talismans successively and slay Song Xiaochao and the Fake Copper Corpse was enough to prove his strength.

Generally, even if a cultivator holds many powerful Spirit Talismans, if they can’t hit the target, it’s all in vain.

In the Cultivation Realm, many have substantial wealth; family cultivators and sect disciples are much more affluent than ordinary loose cultivators, and some elders will leave life-saving items for their descendants.

Numerous high-powered First-Grade High-Level Spirit Talismans and even Second-Grade Spirit Talismans are commonplace.

Why is it rarely heard that high-tier cultivators die at the hands of low-tier cultivators?

Because when they throw talismans, high-tier cultivators sense danger early and escape. Without spiritual sense locking and opportunity guidance to ensure the attack strikes, how can it be effective?

Therefore, though Zhou Changwang might not possess the strength to kill cultivators above the Seventh-Layer Qi himself, the Spirit Talismans he holds and his means of effectively using them are enough for any high-tier cultivator not to underestimate him.

Ultimately, it’s about capability.

"Well, since Sister Shen invites me so sincerely, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

After a slight contemplation, Zhou Changwang finally agreed.

Joining Shuiyun Pavilion, at least for now, is more beneficial than detrimental for him.

After all, just acquiring a piece of Second-Grade Spirit Land is not something an ordinary loose cultivator like him can lease.
