On the second day, Gongsun Zhang came to the Chidragon ship alone. After greeting Zhang Yan, he said apologetically, "What a coincidence. After I returned to the city, my master was in seclusion, so it was inconvenient for me to come and meet you in person. Please forgive me, but I have brought everything you need, Spiritual Master."
He shook his sleeve and released a cloud of milky white smoke, carrying out dozens of jade boxes. Each box was half a foot square and neatly stacked in the cabin. Then, he took out a bundle of books from his sleeve and handed it over with one hand. "Because the number of these rare treasures is really not less than ten thousand.
。 Is it true that you are a bad person and you are a tree branch in a flash? br

Zhang Yan immediately took it, and with a point of his finger, he untied the knot of the red silk. He slowly opened the binding sheet, and his gaze wandered around. After a while, he looked at Gongsun Zhang, and nodded, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, thank you."
Gongsun Zhang, who had been paying attention to Zhang Yan's expression, relaxed and said, "There are a total of one hundred and eighty-six items that Zhenren needs. Among them, one hundred and thirteen can be found in our Celestial Gathering City. As for the remaining seventy-three items, our Celestial Gathering Sect is, after all, just a lonely city in the middle of the sea, so we are unable to find them. However, the Great Chu Country, which is thousands of miles away, has a vast territory with abundant resources and abundant people. It is also the place where the Zhong Tai Sect was established, so it is ten times better than our Celestial Gathering Sect."
The Immortal City in the continent of the East Victory Continent was just like a prefecture in the mortal world, and it was a place that was accessible from all directions. Besides some treasures of the heavens and the earth that could only be chanced upon by luck, ordinary treasures could be gathered as long as a cultivator was able to pay the price.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll have to go and see for myself."
While the two of them were talking, the Wang sisters took the opportunity to check the contents of the jade box against the bindings. Finally, he said, "Benevolent teacher, not even a little bit off."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said to Gongsun Zhang, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, how much are these precious materials worth?"
Gongsun Zhang bowed and said, "Zhenren Zhang, everything here is a gift from my City Lord. There's no need to discuss the price."
A foreign Yuanying cultivator was loitering in the Celestial Sieve Sect's territory. The city lord, Gongsun Xu, could not help but feel uneasy. He also saw that although Zhang Yan needed a wide variety of items, they were all rare. Thus, he was prepared to suffer some losses. He wanted to get rid of this matter as soon as possible.
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun must be joking. How can I take it for free?"
After thinking for a while, he took out a jade box and used his magic power to send it down.
Gongsun Zhang subconsciously reached out to take it. He looked inside. He discovered that the box was filled with tiny beads the size of rice grains. Every single one of them was round, plump, translucent, and bright, and dazzling. He couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.
The reason why the Celestial Sieve City was prosperous in the past was because of the deep sea spirit shells that were collected from the North Mo and West Ji seas. However, compared to the spirit shells that were nurtured by the mountains and rivers, sea shells were far from the spirit shells that were nurtured by the mountains and rivers, not to mention these one-in-a-hundred shell pearls!
Just this box alone was worth more than a hundred thousand sea shells. It was more than enough to buy all the precious materials in front of him.
He weighed the box of shell pearls in his hand and hesitated for a while before saying carefully, "Zhenren, you've given me too much."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, you've gone through a lot of trouble. Previously, because of a misunderstanding, my disciple had rashly chopped off one of your arms. The rest is a gift to you as an apology."
Of course, he could take these medicinal materials for free, but doing so would make the Celestial Sieve Sect somewhat dissatisfied.
He didn't come back to Dong Sheng for a short while. He was ordered by the sect master to find a way to establish a foothold here.
The fact that the Celestial Sieve City was able to stand here for thousands of years and go through two major changes in a row without being forcibly occupied by others showed how deep its foundation was. It wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface. If he left a bad impression, it would definitely affect his subsequent actions, so there was no need to take advantage of this small advantage.
Gongsun Zhang was stunned for a while and looked at the shell pearls in his hand. After a while, he put them away, then cupped one hand and said sincerely, "Thank you, Zhenren Zhang, for your generous gift."
Although he was a small Gold Core cultivator, he had only entered the Dao for about two hundred years. If he could cleanse himself with the elixir concocted by the Seven Leaves Xuanzhen Grass, he would still have some hope of reaching the Yuanying realm. However, this kind of spiritual grass was really expensive, and he still lacked a lot of what he had accumulated over the years. Now that he had the pen and the jade pearls, he could just about make up for what he lacked before.
At this moment, Zhang Yan took out a letter that was sealed with a restrictive spell and threw it down. He said, "It's a pity that your Castellan is not available. I will leave for Chu Country in a few days. I'll pay you a visit in the future. Please pass this letter on to me."
Gongsun Zhang hurriedly reached out and took it. Seeing that Zhang Yan had the intention to send him off, he stood up and bowed, saying goodbye and leaving.
After getting out of the Dragon Country's ship, he suddenly thought, "If I destroy the letter and secretly swallow these jade pearls, I think no one will know …"
However, as soon as this thought appeared, his whole body shivered and immediately extinguished it.
Judging from Zhang Yan's words, he would still come back to visit the sect in the future. Even if there was no letter, there was still a possibility that it would be leaked. Moreover, this was an act of deceiving his master. If someone found out, there would be no place for him in the sect anymore.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and cast a mysterious light, returning to the Celestial Gathering City.
In the Dragon Country's ship, Zhang Yan released a gust of strong wind and rolled the dozens of jade boxes into his sleeve. He said to his two female disciples, "After I change my flying magic tool, we'll be on our way."
After traveling for another ten thousand miles, he would arrive at the Dong Sheng Continent. However, not only was the Dragon Country's ship too eye-catching, but most of the restrictive spells were also damaged, so he couldn't fly anymore. Therefore, he had to find another vehicle.
He took out the restriction talisman and waved it casually, putting the ship away first. Then, he made a hand seal and lightly tapped his teeth. After chanting a few incantations, a cloud of smoke came out of his sleeve and condensed into a cloud raft. There was a cloud tent on it, and it slowly rotated in the air.
He didn't know which elder of the Demon Sect used to have this treasure, but he used it casually. After transforming it to three to four meters in size, he called Zhang Boyan and the Wang sisters over. Then, he activated his magic power, and the four of them flew toward the east at a moderate speed.
After traveling for about four hours, they saw a young cultivator in front of them. This person was standing on a green leaf and saw a cloud raft. He was wearing a green robe and his cultivation was only at the Clear Qi stage. After seeing the cloud raft, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he came up and shouted, "Is this an esteemed guest from the Outer Endless Sea ahead? Let's keep our jade toes for now. "
When Zhang Yan heard this, he thought for a moment and used his magic power to hold the cloud raft down. He said to Wang Caiting, "Disciple, go and ask what's the matter."
Wang Caiting responded and got off the cloud raft. She flew forward and said, "Who are you? Why are you looking for us? "
The cultivator saw that he had found the right person and his face lit up. He bowed and said, "I am Xiao Yin, a disciple of the Celestial Sieve Sect. I took the liberty to come here today to thank the seniors for saving my Xiao clansmen yesterday."
Wang Caiting thought of the people he saved yesterday and said, "Oh, so you are from the same clan. It was nothing."
Xiao Yin raised his head and said seriously, "To the seniors, it is a small matter, but to me, it is a great favor. I have to repay it. Today, I present a Geomancy Map of the Two Seas to express my gratitude. I hope you will accept it."
He took out a scroll from his sleeve and held it over his head with both hands.
However, Wang Caiting snorted and said, "Your Celestial Sieve Sect is so dishonest. Previously, my master also asked Gongsun Zhang about the sea map, but he said he never had it. So it turns out he was lying to us."
Xiao Yin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior, you've misunderstood. Martial Uncle Gongsun said there is no such thing, so there really is no such thing. This sea map of mine was drawn by my master when he was traveling. After my master passed away, it has been kept by me. Very few people know about it."
Wang Caiting glanced at him and gently raised her wrist to take the map from Xiao Yin's hand. She said, "Thank you, Elder."
Xiao Yin was happy to see him accept it. He bowed and said, "Then I won't delay the seniors any longer. I will take my leave now."
After bowing again, he rode his flying leaf and flew across the sky.
Wang Caiwei picked up the scroll and patted it in her palm. She then turned back to the cloud raft and said, "Master, that Daoist sent a map."
Zhang Yan took it and spread it out on the table. A ray of light rose from the map and revealed countless geographical figures. He scanned it and was surprised.
He originally thought that this sea map was only the West Sea Jie Jie Jie. He didn't think that the North Sea Jie would be included as well. What was even rarer was that the cities, sects, and families along the coast of the Dong Sheng Continent, the products and population, as well as the distribution of the mountains and rivers were all indicated. The content was very detailed. However, when he looked further into the continent, it was blank. It didn't look like it was purposely erased. Rather, the person who drew the map didn't have time to finish drawing it.
Although Daoist cultivators could find the place they wanted to go based on the general direction and the direction of the land veins, it still took a lot of effort. Especially in an unfamiliar place like the Dong Sheng Continent, it was even more difficult. However, with this map, it was much more convenient.
Zhang Yan looked at the map for a while and found the location of the mountain gate. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Just this map is enough to make up for all the pill materials from before."
At this time, he already had an idea in his heart, so he didn't delay any longer. He put away the map and cast a spell to speed up the cloud raft. He turned and headed northeast.
The journey was calm. After two days, they arrived at the coastal sea of the Dong Sheng Continent. The sea was dotted with white sails and there were many boats coming and going.
In front of them was the border of the Great Chu. There was a celestial city called "Xing Kang" near the sea. There were cultivators from the Zhong Tai Sect guarding it. If cultivators from other continents entered the city, they would definitely come to check. Therefore, the group of people didn't go near but continued north along the coast.
After another five days, they heard the sound of the river rushing. Looking around, they saw that the river was extremely wide. There were still many pieces of ice that hadn't melted in it that were washed into the sea with the water.
According to the map, this river was called "Reed Night". If they continued north for another fifty to sixty thousand miles, they would reach the Beimo Ocean World.
And walking along this big river to the east, they would arrive at a place called "Divine House Mountain". This mountain occupied the extreme north of the Dong Sheng Continent. From east to west, it stretched endlessly. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of miles it was.
Zhang Yan stood on the cloud raft and raised his eyes to look. At the end of the horizon, what entered his eyes was a vast mountain range. White snow covered the top and the frosty cold sky. It was majestic and magnificent. If what Shen Baishuang said wasn't necessary, the mountain gate of the villa he built was in that mountain range.
