Ten days later, a flying boat landed on the ruins of the Agarwood Hall.
A girl in a pink dress saw the mess on the peak. Broken bricks and tiles were everywhere. The garden that used to be green and peach trees was only left with withered branches and withered leaves. It seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time. She opened her mouth in shock and murmured: "I only left for two months. How could the Agarwood Hall become like this …"
The woman beside her was dressed in white and her facial features were exquisite like a painting. She stood there like a white lotus emerging from the water, aloof from the world. However, her expression was calm as she said, "Junior Martial Sister Jiao, I see that the palaces on the other peaks are still there. Why don't you find your fellow disciples and ask them what happened?"
Junior Martial Sister Jiao seemed to have run out of ideas. When she heard this, she quickly nodded. Just as she was about to activate the flying boat, she saw a woman flying over on a magical treasure. When the woman saw her, she exclaimed, "Senior Martial Sister Jiao, you're back!"
Junior Martial Sister Jiao also recognized the person. When the woman landed, she quickly grabbed her arm and shook her, asking, "Junior Martial Sister Qi, tell me, what happened here?"
Junior Sister Qi looked around and her eyes reddened. She sobbed and said, "That day, a fierce person came to the hall. Martial Uncle Ni said that this person was the culprit behind Senior Sister Hongchen's murder. We don't know why he came up the mountain, so Martial Uncle Ni led the other Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters to fight with this person. Unfortunately, this person was too fierce. We laid down the Great Star Array, but we still couldn't stop him …"
The white-clothed woman's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "Wait, you said there was only one person?"
Junior Martial Sister Qi wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes, Senior Martial Sister. You didn't see that Daoist. He only raised his hand and countless black beads rolled by. In the blink of an eye, the pillars collapsed and the buildings were destroyed. His ferocity was monstrous. "
The woman in white looked around at the ruins and couldn't help but tighten her grip on her sword. She frowned and murmured to herself, "It doesn't look like it was caused by a magic treasure. Just one person alone was able to flatten this entire palace. Could it be a divine ability …"
She was lost in thought. "Martial Uncle Ni …" Junior Martial Sister Jiao suddenly sobbed.
It turned out that she and Ni Qianying were very close. When she heard that Ni Qianying had died in such a miserable way, she could not help but feel sad. She ran to the side and knelt in front of the cliff, crying loudly.
The white-robed woman's beautiful eyes were cold, as if the emotions of others couldn't affect her in the slightest. She asked Junior Sister Qi, "Junior Sister, do you know where this person came from?"
Junior Sister Qi shook her head and said, "We don't know either. We heard that one of our Junior Sisters saw him talking and laughing happily with Senior Sister Hongchen. They must be acquaintances, but the few senior and junior sisters who knew the inside story all died in this battle. "
The white-clothed woman asked, "Where are the corpses?"
Qi Shimei said, "Although there are many corpses of our fellow disciples buried under the roof tiles, these past few days we have found them and buried them. It's just a pity that Martial Uncle Ni's primordial spirit couldn't even escape … "
The woman in white asked again, "Do you know where this person is going? Did you see his face? "
Junior Sister Qi thought for a while and said with uncertainty, "He seems to be going to the east. As for his face …" When it came to Zhang Yan's face, Junior Sister Qi was no longer as vague as before, and carefully described his face. She even described his clothes in great detail.
The white-clothed woman nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards Junior Sister Jiao.
Seeing her coming, Junior Sister Jiao said in a sad voice, "Martial Uncle Ni was killed by that person, and even the Seven Terminal Pillars were taken away. This item was lost in the hands of our Agarwood Sect. We should have found it for you, but you saw it yourself. Our sect is in such a terrible state now, I'm afraid we can't do anything about it. If another powerful enemy comes, we don't know how to defend ourselves. "
The white-clothed woman looked at her quietly and said, "Junior Sister, don't be sad. If you don't mind, I can give you a talisman, and you can take any junior sister who is willing to join our Yuan Yang Sect as a disciple."
"What?" Junior Sister Jiao raised her head in surprise and said, "Can we join the Yuan Yang Sect?"
The white-clothed woman shook her head and said, "You can't join the Yuan Yang Sect. What I'm talking about is the cave abode opened by the Yuan Yang Sect's disciples outside the sect."
"Oh …"
Junior Sister Jiao was a little disappointed to hear that it wasn't the Yuan Yang Sect's main sect. But then she thought, although she couldn't become a real disciple of the Yuan Yang Sect, if she could join the Yuan Yang Sect, she would be protected by the Yuan Yang Sect, and wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. She could also call herself a Yuan Yang Sect disciple, and no one would look down on her. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and bowed to the white-clothed woman, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister Xin. I'm willing to go, and I thank you on behalf of all my junior sisters."
The white-clothed woman said lightly, "It's nothing, junior sister, you don't have to be so polite."
She took out a talisman and handed it to Junior Sister Jiao, saying, "With this, you can go to the Five Smoke Mountain Path Source Immortal Mansion and look for Senior Sister Pei. Just say that I recommended you."
Junior Sister Jiao took the talisman, and then seemed to think of something. She asked in surprise, "Senior Sister, where are you going? Aren't you going back to the sect? "
The white-clothed woman said, "I wanted to borrow Senior Brother Qiu's Seven Absolute Pillars for the sect's competition, and Senior Brother Qiu allowed me to do so. Since it was taken by this person, I can't just sit by and do nothing, so I have to go and get it back from him."
Junior Sister Jiao was shocked, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Senior Sister Xin, this person seems to be very powerful, you … must be careful."
The white-clothed woman nodded calmly, and without saying anything else, she turned into a white light and flew away, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, 5,000km away, Zhang Yan was sitting within a flying vessel immortal market, and he watched with interest as the golden toads leaped ceaselessly beneath him while the guests cheered loudly and tossed down a handful of golden beans from time to time.
At this time, the bead curtain was lifted, and Jun Ling 'er walked in from outside. When she saw Zhang Yan, she smiled before saying anything, and said, "I thought it was an immortal guest who specifically called me over, so it's really an old acquaintance. Immortal Zhang, I wonder what item in the immortal market caught your eye this time, so that I can make early preparations and satisfy the immortal guest."
Zhang Yan smiled, and said directly, "Since we're old acquaintances, I won't beat around the bush. This time I want to go out to sea, and I need to buy a ship to cross the sea. Do you have any connections here?"
His journey to the East Sea was long, and it was common to not see a single island in the vast sea for several months. Moreover, there were frequent attacks from monsters and strange beasts in the sea, so it was obviously not advisable to rely on his own strength to fly. Therefore, buying a sea flying boat as a means of transportation was urgent.
Jun Ling 'er was stunned when she heard this. Then, she smiled sweetly, and said, "Immortal guest, there has never been a precedent of selling sea flying boats here, but …"
She glared at Zhang Yan, covered her mouth, and laughed, and said, "Immortal guest, you've asked the right person. On the East Sea, there's a big family surnamed Yin, and they're one of the top families that build sea flying boats. Their leader is a good friend of my boat owner, so I can ask my boat owner to write a letter over. I'm sure you won't make a trip for nothing. "
Zhang Yan nodded. This flying boat immortal market was built on the sea flying boats, and it would be a joke if he said he didn't know where to look for a sea flying boat.
However, his original intention was not to get an ordinary one, but a high class sea flying boat that was extremely difficult to find. Otherwise, he could go to the East Sea's immortal market and randomly choose one. Jun Ling 'er obviously had a clever heart, and she understood his intention at a glance. Therefore, she gave him an answer that satisfied him.
A big family like the Yin family that specialized in crafting had an extraordinary status. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a personal relationship that led them to their door, they definitely wouldn't bother with you.
Since that was the case. Zhang Yan also returned the favor, and pushed a brocade box over.
Jun Ling 'er didn't open it, and very generously put the item away. She said with a smile, "Immortal guest, please wait for a moment. I'll go ask the boat owner to write a letter."
She bowed, turned around, and walked out. Zhang Yan cast his gaze down again, but the woman didn't make him wait for too long. In the time it took to eat a meal, she turned back, raised the letter in her lily-white hands, and gently presented it.
Zhang Yan took a look, and discovered that there were two letters. One was addressed to the Yin family leader, and the other clearly stated the location of the Yin family's residence. There was also a simple topographic map attached. Both letters were written by the same person, and the handwriting was graceful and contained a faint fragrance. It was obvious that they were written by a young woman. Although it could be seen that this woman was extremely meticulous in her work, Zhang Yan's brows still furrowed slightly.
Seeing this, Jun Ling 'er smiled lightly, and said, "Immortal guest, please don't misunderstand. Although this letter was written by my wife, the boat owner's letters have always been written by her, and she definitely won't delay your important matters."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly, put the letter into his sleeve, and nodded to Jun Ling 'er. Then, he leaped up, and a long rainbow shot out of the celestial market, flying straight to the coast of the East Sea.
The Yin family's residence was called Three Suns Island, and it was an island in the inner lake. It was a place with verdant hills, clear waters, and beautiful scenery. Zhang Yan arrived here Just Now half a month later, and went straight to visit the Yin family leader with the letter.
Zhang Yan didn't mention that he was a disciple of the Qincang School, so the elder didn't take it to heart too much. He just thought that it was another favor from the celestial market's boat owner, and after a few polite words, he returned to the inner room, and only ordered his eldest son to come out and continue greeting Zhang Yan, thinking that he had given him enough face.
This person's name was Yin Zishou, and he was in his thirties, at the second level of the Clear Qi Realm. Seeing that Zhang Yan was already a Mystic Light Realm cultivator, and his cultivation was far above his own, he was very polite to him.
"Since Daoist wants a sea boat and is in urgent need of it, I have a few drawings here. You can take a look, and if there's anything you like, I'll immediately make it."
Zhang Yan took it and looked at it. He saw that the drawings were all drawn and formed. Once he held it in his hand, he only needed to infuse it with spirit qi, and the image of a sea boat would appear. After looking at a few of them, he asked curiously, "Why are all these sea boats so inconspicuous?"
Yin Zishou chuckled, and said, "Daoist, you don't know this, but the outer sea is filled with strange beasts, and there are as many demonic cultivators as there are stars in the sky. This flying boat is meant to be sturdy and durable, and it's fine as long as it doesn't attract people's attention. Only the sea merchants under the Demonic King's rule will use large boats, and when they go out, they usually sail thousands of sails on the sea, forming large groups of boats, so they aren't afraid of those demonic beasts."
Zhang Yan nodded, and said, "I see, but how long does it take to make a sea boat?"
Yin Zishou slowly said, "Not long, at most half a year, at least three months."
Cultivators had a long lifespan, and they could afford to wait, but Zhang Yan didn't have the patience to wait for so long. From Elder Yan's tone, the journey was also very long, and now that a year had passed, he didn't want to waste a few more months. If he missed the Four Seasons Water because of this reason, it would be too late for regrets, so he said, "May I ask if there are any ready-made sea boats in the manor?"
Yin Zishou thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "There is one, but … Daoist, do you really want it?"
