In a small square in front of the dock, a group of middle and late stage Aura Refinement cultivators surrounded it. They were shouting and fighting over something.
"Captain, take me. I'll be fine wherever I go."
"Let me go. Although my cultivation level is slightly low, my magic artifacts are pretty good."
Ye Kong and Chen Baixuan were confused. Usually, Cangnan cultivators were very low-key and were unwilling to show off their treasures. Who would loudly say that their magic artifacts were awesome? Wasn't this inviting people to rob them?
"Let's go take a look?" Chen Baixuan pulled Ye Kong and said.
Ye Kong looked up at those cultivators. Their clothes seemed to be messy and there were no familiar faces among them. It seemed that none of them were disciples of Cloudseal Sect. Only then did he pull Chen Baixuan up.
When they got closer, they saw a few captain-like figures standing in the center of the open space. A circle of Aura Refinement cultivators surrounded them. In the hands of each captain, there was a large sign with the destination, time, and a few spirit stones written on it. For example: "Lingcui City, ten spirit stones for half a month." "Bafang City, twenty spirit stones for a month."
Ye Kong found it strange and asked an old man beside him in a low voice.
The old man smiled and said, "Senior, you're probably a disciple of a large cultivation sect or an itinerant cultivator from outside. The Wuan River is plagued by pirates. Merchant ships passing by can't bear the disturbance, so everyone brings a cultivator with them when they set sail. Naturally, the pirates won't dare to come."
"Oh, I see." Ye Kong smiled. He guessed that these people who were competing to be bodyguards were itinerant cultivators who had no place to earn spirit stones and could only come here to earn some money. He guessed that the disciples of large sects wouldn't come here. Even the Outer Hall disciples of Cloudseal Sect had a monthly tribute of ten spirit stones. Who would want to come here to earn some money? It was just that they earned more than the tribute, but they wouldn't have the time to cultivate.
Ye Kong thought about it and asked, "Sir, are the cultivation levels of those pirates very high?"
The old man shook his head and said with a smile, "Senior, the cultivation levels of the pirates aren't high. It's good enough that they have a disciple like you, but the captain can only choose the one with the highest cultivation level here."
When Ye Kong heard this, he still couldn't quite understand.
Chen Baixuan, on the other hand, was the one who spoke. He was unhappy that he was someone's disciple at a glance, so he snappily said, "What's so hard to understand? If we didn't invite the person with the highest cultivation here, I'm afraid that even those who weren't pirates would have become pirates! "
When Ye Kong heard this, he immediately paid attention. There are a lot of cultivators here. If you don't invite them, you'll be the one with the highest cultivation. Hehe, then you'll be in trouble, Captain. The one with the highest cultivation will bear a grudge and wait for the ship to set sail to rob you!
The surrounding cultivators glared at Chen Baixuan angrily. After all, they were very unhappy to be called pirates by others. However, when they saw Ye Kong beside Chen Baixuan, they immediately took half a step back.
In the cultivation world, the strong were revered. When Aura Refining individual cultivators like them saw a Foundation Building cultivator, they were like mice seeing a cat.
The old man smiled and said: "Senior, your disciple is quite sophisticated."
Chen Baixuan proudly raised his head and thought, 'He's so much stronger than someone, yet he still wants to be my master?'
Ye Kong's face turned red. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the captains rush over. "Immortal Master, come on my ship. There are spirit stones and beauties to play with …"
Ye Kong couldn't help but laugh. No wonder these individual cultivators wanted to go, there were a lot of good things here.
"Everyone, I'm not here to be a bodyguard. I want to take a ship to Southern City. Do you have a ship that's on the way? It doesn't matter if you pay spirit stones or not." Ye Kong didn't know any of the locations on their signs, so he could only speak frankly.
The captains immediately shook their heads. It seemed like their destination was far from Southern City.
When the individual cultivators heard this kid wasn't here to steal their business, they immediately showed happy expressions. Another cultivator quickly came over and said, "Senior, these are all ships going upstream. To go to Southern City, you have to find a ship going downstream. Southern City doesn't have a port … Just now, there was a ship going to Peaceful Port City. That's the closest port to Southern City."
"Thank you, Daoist friend." Ye Kong was overjoyed. Although he hadn't been to Peaceful Port, he had heard of the name. Peaceful Port City was only a hundred miles away from Southern City.
When Ye Kong walked in the direction he pointed, the cultivators behind him whispered, "Do you want to die? The ship going to Peaceful Port has already been booked by two Foundation Establishment Perfected Masters. Don't you want the world to be in chaos? "
The cultivator smiled and said, "They are all Foundation Establishment Perfected Masters. Let them fight for it. I'm not wrong. If we keep this guy here, how can we earn spirit stones?"
Not far away, Ye Kong, who was walking slowly, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "The cultivators of Cangnan Continent are really selfish to the extreme. Even asking for directions has a trap."
After Ye Kong finished speaking, he waved his hand slightly. A small golden light mixed with the countless mosquitoes on the pier and flew over. It was a golden-winged ant with Ye Kong's spiritual sense.
Actually, he didn't think of this. It was Patriarch Acheron's spiritual sense that told him to do this. Ye Kong thought he was already very careful, but who knew that there were many unimaginable traps.
"Should we go back and teach that guy a lesson?" Chen Baixuan asked.
Ye Kong shook his head and said, "Forget it. He didn't say anything wrong. It's better if we don't fight and keep a low profile on this trip."
"There are already Foundation Establishment Cultivators on that ship. I think it's better to kill them," Chen Baixuan said again.
Ye Kong laughed and said, "Why do you only know how to kill them? I just said that we should keep a low profile and not cause trouble if we can avoid it. We just need to reach Southern City safely. Don't waste time on these trivial matters."
Soon, they arrived at the ship that the cultivator pointed out. The ship had already put away the sampan, hung up the sail, and was ready to set off.
"Hey, ship owner, please wait a moment." The ship was not small. Ye Kong and Chen Baixuan jumped onto the front deck.
"Immortal Master, please speak." The skinny ship owner with a towel wrapped around his head walked up. He felt depressed. I already have bodyguards. You guys are late.
"I heard that this ship is heading to An Port, so we want to take a boat there. Oh, we don't need Spirit Stones. We just want to take a boat. If we encounter pirates, we can also help, "Ye Kong said politely.
The ship owner was naturally happy. Free cultivator bodyguards. Good. It's a pity that you came a bit late. Otherwise, I wouldn't have hired those bodyguards.
Although the ship owner was very willing, he didn't dare to offend the three cultivators who came. He heard that two of the male cultivators were Foundation Establishment Perfected Beings with great supernatural powers from cultivation families.
"Immortal Master, I'm very honored, but … can you let me inform the few cultivator bodyguards of this ship?" The ship owner didn't dare to offend anyone and asked carefully.
Ye Kong also replied politely, "Oh, no problem."
