He Yiming shot a glance in the direction of the sea. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart. Could it be that the heavens also wanted him to obtain the treasure in the treasure map? Otherwise, why would they send someone from the Penglai Immortal Island to him?
He originally planned to ask about the general location of the Penglai Immortal Island in detail, then abandon the person and let him fend for himself. However, at this moment, there was an earth-shattering change in his thinking.
"Brother Huo, you're really unlucky." He Yiming nodded and addressed him as a brother very naturally.
Even in the face of the many unfathomable Venerables, He Yiming still called them brothers. Therefore, although the person in front of him was over forty years old, He Yiming still called him by his name.
Huo Hongsheng was slightly stunned when his savior addressed him as such. He hurriedly responded, "That's right. I'm really unlucky this time. If it weren't for benefactor's help, I would've died without a burial ground."
He Yiming could not help but laugh. "My surname is He, so just call me Mr. He. Benefactor or whatever doesn't sound nice."
Huo Hongsheng opened his mouth. He wanted to object, but for some reason, he did not have the courage to do so. He was also someone who had traveled extensively, so he could not help but be shocked. He knew that Mr. He's background was definitely not simple, so he lowered his head and said respectfully, "Since it's Mr. He's orders, I dare not disobey."
He Yiming nodded in satisfaction and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
Huo Hongsheng looked into the distance. He could vaguely see a tornado on the sea that had yet to disappear. He answered, "Mr. He, I have a special cannon that's specially made for my younger brother. Once this storm passes, I'll be able to ignite it. If I'm not mistaken, someone should be coming to rescue us. "
He Yiming looked at him in surprise and smiled. "You're very confident, aren't you?"
A sliver of pride flashed across Huo Hongsheng's face. Although he appeared to be in dire straits at this moment, there was still a sliver of undetectable pride in his eyes. It was as if he would unknowingly reveal an expression of being superior to others.
He Yiming was suspicious. This person's background was definitely not simple, but he had just arrived in the East Sea and did not know what kind of forces were on the Penglai Immortal Island. However, he thought that the Huo family would not be too bad.
"Mr. He, the cannon made by my family has an extremely strong ability to stay in the air. Once it's ignited, it will definitely not dissipate within three days unless it encounters the weather yesterday."
He Yiming nodded slightly. He Yiming was surprised that the Huo family had such an amazing craftsman. That meant that their standard of gunpowder production was even higher than the craftsmen in Da Shen's mainland.
After pondering for a moment, He Yiming asked, "Are you sure that a ship will pass by here within three days?"
Huo Hongsheng said solemnly, "This one's fleet has a total of five large ships. Only this one's ship was accidentally swept into the storm. The other four ships had already left before the storm formed." He took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm sure that the four large ships will not abandon me and return. Therefore, when the storm stops, they will definitely search for me in the surroundings."
He Yiming nodded slightly and said, "In that case, you're also quite a character."
Huo Hongsheng's face turned slightly red. He did not know why, but when he was praised by the young man in front of him, he actually felt that it was natural. Furthermore, he was faintly excited.
Shaking his head, Huo Hongsheng threw these inexplicable emotions to the back of his mind and said a few words of humility in a slightly embarrassed manner.
After waiting for about half a day, the storm in the distance finally calmed down. The sea was even calmer, and there was no sign of a huge storm that had swept across dozens of miles.
Huo Hongsheng took out a cylinder made of stainless steel from his arms. He Yiming glanced at it and wondered if this thing could be released as he wished.
This was because, according to what he knew, the biggest taboo of these gunpowder products was to come into contact with water. Yesterday, Huo Hongsheng's entire body was soaked in seawater. His entire body was wet from head to toe, and he looked even more like a drowned rat. Therefore, this steel pipe must have been soaked in seawater for a long time. It was normal for it to fail.
However, Huo Hongsheng was obviously very confident. He activated something on the steel pipe, and then pulled out a flame. He inserted the steel pipe into the ground, took a few steps back, and put his hand on the end of the flame.
The tip of his finger slowly turned fiery red. This was the strongest manifestation of the eighth layer of fire inner strength. Although he could not directly ignite the flame like an innate master, he estimated that he could slowly do it by relying on the increase in temperature.
He Yiming shook his head slightly. Huo Hongsheng's clumsy movements made him speechless.
Huo Hongsheng saw He Yiming's expression from the corner of his eye, and his face really did turn a little red. He said, "Mr. He, my fire-starting tool was soaked in seawater, so I can't immediately ignite it. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
He Yiming's lips curved into a smile. He said, "Brother Huo, there's no need for you to go through so much trouble. Let me do it."
Huo Hongsheng was overjoyed. He said, "Mr. He, do you have a fire-starting tool on you?"
He Yiming didn't say anything. He raised his right index finger and thumb, and with a light flick, a red light suddenly flew to the flame. In the blink of an eye, the flame was lit.
Huo Hongsheng's eyes instantly widened. He looked at He Yiming in disbelief and muttered, "An innate master?"
He Yiming glanced at him indifferently, then shifted his gaze to the continuously burning flame. He was rather curious about this kind of cannon.
Huo Hongsheng's eyes flickered with a strange light. Actually, his status wasn't low in his clan, and he had seen a few innate masters in his sect. However, those Xiantian experts were at least seventy or eighty years old. Yet, He Yiming's appearance and actions gave him a refreshing feeling, filled with sharpness.
He was certain that He Yiming's age definitely wasn't older than his.
This was due to his experience, which allowed Huo Hongsheng to make a relatively accurate judgment.
As for an Innate Ranker who was at most forty years old, his future prospects were unimaginable. In a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The flame finally burned out. After pausing for a moment, the mouth of the steel pipe suddenly lit up.
Under He Yiming's gaze, a flame soared into the sky, cutting through the empty space and exploding above their heads.
Amidst the loud noise and sparks, another flame continued to soar. After three times, it completely exploded at the highest point in the sky.
Suddenly, a beautiful fiery red color formed above their heads. This color actually reminded He Yiming of the blood-red sky that had been burning on the surface of the sea for an entire day.
At this point, He Yiming finally understood why Huo Hongsheng had such strong confidence in this cannon.
If there was really a ship nearby, it would definitely be able to see this amazing scene. And if Huo Hongsheng really had an extremely important position in his faction, then his companions would definitely not abandon him.
He Yiming casually found a clean big rock and sat down silently to wait.
Huo Hongsheng didn't dare to disturb him, so he imitated him and sat down. In fact, he was already tired and hungry, but in front of He Yiming, he felt extremely restrained and didn't dare to mention this at all.
He Yiming asked directly, "Brother Huo, I came from the mainland and came to the sea to gain experience. May I know where the Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea is and what kind of power distribution it has?"
Huo Hongsheng hesitated for a moment, but when he met He Yiming's eyes, he immediately felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to hide anything and spilled everything he knew.
Through his introduction, He Yiming finally understood a little and was greatly surprised by the strength of the Penglai Immortal Island.
The Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea was one of the three famous Immortal Islands in the East Sea. The Qi of Heaven and Earth on the island was extremely rich, making it a good place to cultivate martial arts.
Although it was called an island, the island's surface area was extremely large. It was comparable to the land of a province in the mainland.
There were close to 10 million people on the island at the moment, but there were still many places that had yet to be developed.
Nevertheless, all of this had nothing to do with He Yiming. The only thing he cared about was the strength of the island.
However, the answer that Huo Hongsheng gave him surprised him greatly.
On the Penglai Immortal Island, there were a total of 3 famous sects. They were the Ocean Heaven Sect, which occupied almost half of the island, and the Qianshan Sect and the Spirit Vulture Valley, which were almost the same.
These three forces were regarded as giants on the Immortal Island because in their sects, there were Venerable Realm powerhouses overseeing them.
He Yiming could not help but be shocked when he heard that.
There were at least 3 Venerable Ones on the island with a population of 10 million. It was unbelievable.
However, after Huo Hongsheng's explanation, He Yiming was relieved.
On the Penglai Immortal Island, the sects were replaced much more frequently than on the mainland.
This was because the East Ocean was so vast. Other than the 3 major immortal islands, there were also countless smaller islands. If the population on those small islands was added up, it would be a terrifying number.
When Venerable Ones were born among the powerhouses on those small islands, most of them would head to the 3 major immortal islands to establish sects. Sects that lost Venerable Ones would often withdraw from the immortal islands within a few months. This was the biggest reason why the sects were replaced so frequently.
In a way, the top forces in the East Ocean were gathered on the 3 major immortal islands, which was why there were at least 3 Venerable Ones among 10 million people.
He Yiming lamented after he heard Huo Hongsheng's explanation. Every place had its own characteristics. If one had not traveled thousands of kilometers, one would not have known about all of this.
Shifting his gaze, He Yiming gazed into the distance and suddenly smiled, "Your fleet is here to pick you up."
Huo Hongsheng was overjoyed. He stared in the direction He Yiming was looking. After a long time, he finally saw a black spot, which was constantly expanding.

Even so, I still hope that the White Crane won't be able to keep its second place after 3 days. (To be continued. If you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
