Chapter 60 The Extraterrestrial Sea, Abyss Island
Helping others was just a minor incident for Qingfeng.
Especially this guy named Xiao Luo, who uttered the classic line: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river..."
"Many thanks to you for your help today, senior. Xiao Luo bows in gratitude!"
Despite his injuries, Xiao Luo bowed to Qing Feng.
"Young man, there's no need to be so polite. I only helped out of interest. I'm very pleased to see that you've stopped being a sycophant and have come to your senses."
However, it's best to keep any harsh words to yourself in the future.
Qingfeng gave him a hint, and then walked with Wang Ning and the others to a teleportation array.
"Sir, I can activate the teleportation here."
Qingfeng paid the teleportation fee to the Star Palace steward, who accepted it with a displeased expression and tossed teleportation talismans to Qingfeng and the others.
The effect of the teleportation talisman is similar to that of the teleportation command and the great teleportation command, except that there are limitations on the number of times it can be used and the teleportation distance.
Just as the teleportation array was about to transport Qingfeng and the others away, Xiao Luo looked at Qingfeng and loudly asked, "I humbly request that you leave your name, senior. I will surely repay your kindness today in the future!"
"I am going to become the man of the Star Sea King."
Qingfeng's lips moved slightly.
The teleportation array flashed, and the group disappeared.
Only the three words "Star Sea King" were left in the transmission, which Xiao Luo remembered firmly.
……
Haiyuan Island
In recent years, Xinggong has developed a station in the outer star sea.
Inside a simple stone house on the island, the light from the teleportation array faded, and Qingfeng and the others appeared there.
"How are you? Feeling dizzy?"
Qingfeng looked at Wang Ning and Wen Siyue, who were holding his arms beside him.
They were both only at the Qi Refining stage, and were somewhat disoriented under the influence of spatial power.
"N-nothing... Ugh!"
Wang Ning's expression changed, and she dry heaved a few times in the open space next to her.
"If you want to spit it out, then spit it out. I really don't understand why someone in the Qi Refining stage is coming to the outer space to join in the fun."
Inside the room, a Star Palace cultivator with an expressionless face looked at Qingfeng and the others and spoke.
This cultivator from the Star Palace, who appeared to be in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the stone house.
He still didn't give Qingfeng, a senior in the Core Formation stage, a testament to the confidence his Star Palace identity brought him.
Qingfeng didn't bother arguing with the migrant workers who were stuck in such a miserable place.
The stone house's door was half-open, and some voices could be heard outside.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Qingfeng walked in front, followed by Yuan Yao and the other girls, and they left the stone house together.
Outside the stone house, there is a simple street.
Judging from the situation, the island is not very developed, and the streets are lined with simple houses made of stone.
These houses are all kinds of shops, including general stores, magical artifact shops, talisman shops, and several trading companies that buy and sell materials from monsters.
The shopkeepers sat there bored, not even greeting Qingfeng and his group; it was clear they were just slacking off.
Come to think of it, the Star Palace on Haiyuan Island has only been developed for a few years, there is no construction at all, and the spiritual energy is relatively thin.
The difference between it and other alien monster islands that have been under construction for decades is enormous.
The shopkeepers stationed here were mostly those who had been ostracized within their respective factions, which is why they were assigned to this place where there was no profit to be made.
"Hey! Fellow Daoist, how about we join forces to hunt down demonic beasts?"
"We'll sell the demon cores we find and split the proceeds with the spirit stones."
In front of a shop that buys and sells monsters, a burly man with a bare chest and a full beard looked at Qingfeng and said.
Qingfeng glanced at him; he was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, carrying a large axe.
He appears to be a lone hunter.
"No need, I can kill the demon and get the core myself."
Qingfeng directly rejected the brute's suggestion.
"Heh, judging from your appearance, this is your first time visiting the Monster Island in the Outer Star Sea, isn't it?"
Here's a piece of advice for you, fellow Daoist: be wary not only of high-level demonic beasts in this place, but also of sneak attacks from scoundrels and evil cultivators.
Especially for someone like you, with two Qi Refining stage cultivators in tow, it's really a bit presumptuous of you."
The burly man looked disappointed when he saw that Qingfeng was unwilling to join, and reminded Qingfeng that the cultivators here were more dangerous than the demonic beasts.
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."
Qingfeng cupped his hands in greeting, then walked along the street towards the edge of the island.
Haiyuan Island is not very big, and its streets are even shorter.
After walking for a short while, we reached the edge of the island.
"Young Master, this outer star sea is indeed more dangerous than the inner star sea. The cultivators passing by are at least in the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment."
Yanli said warily.
Yuan Yao, standing to the side, was equally vigilant. Having followed Qing Feng for so many years, they knew very well when to relax and when to be cautious.
"Brother Qing, the shops here are all under the jurisdiction of the four major merchant alliances, and the prices are twice as high as in Tianxing City. Fortunately, we made some preparations in advance."
Wang Ning also changed how she addressed Qingfeng, no longer using the more intimate term "brother Qingfeng".
"Okay, don't be too nervous. Wang Ning, give me the jade slip with the sea map."
Qingfeng looked at the sea outside the island. This island was the closest to the Demon Beast Abyss, and the demon beasts in the nearby sea were even more elusive.
To reliably hunt monsters, he needs to use a century-old demon-attracting herb that has been ripened to lure them in on the coral island.
Wang Ning handed a storage bag to Qing Feng, which contained things that had been prepared in advance.
Qingfeng carefully examined the sea chart, then summoned a flying boat and left Haiyuan Island with the girls.
The airship hovered above the sea, surrounded by endless water.
Yuan Yao, Wang Ning, and the other women sat in the middle of the flying boat, gazing at the vast and unfamiliar sea, each with their own feelings.
"This alien sea... is indeed vast."
Yanli sighed softly.
"Yes, it makes us feel so small."
Yuan Yao wholeheartedly agreed with her senior sister's words and felt an even stronger desire to improve her cultivation and advance to the Core Formation stage as soon as possible.
Yuan Yao wasn't the only one with these thoughts; Xiao Wang Ning was even more eager to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, not wanting to hold Qing Feng back.
At this moment, Qingfeng was sitting on the golden throne at the front of the flying boat, casually crossing his legs.
His divine sense spread out, amplified by the throne, like an invisible giant net, probing the sea and sky within a radius of dozens of miles.
Whether it's beneath the sea or high in the sky, any movement that enters this area cannot escape his perception.
And so, guided by Qingfeng's divine sense, the flying boat flew towards the chosen Coral Island for three whole days.
As the monotonous voyage progressed, the girls' initial novelty and nervousness gradually faded.
Until the morning of the fourth day.
Qingfeng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and sat up slightly on the golden chair.
Within the range of his divine sense, he discovered a group of flying demonic beasts.
"Yuan Yao, Yan Li, activate the defensive formation on the flying boat. You two will protect the flying boat later."
Qingfeng woke up the girls who were meditating and told them to prepare for battle.
"Is there a demonic beast?"
A hint of excitement shone in Xiao Wang Ning's eyes.
"Yes, it's a flock of red-winged birds."
As soon as Qingfeng finished speaking, a "red cloud" rapidly drifted in from the horizon in front of the flying boat, accompanied by sharp and dense cries.
The girls all stood up and looked over.
As the "red cloud" drew closer, it was revealed to be composed of more than thirty raptors, each with a wingspan of over ten feet and entirely crimson!
The Red-winged Bird has sharp, knife-like edges on its wings and a sharp, curved beak that gleams with a cold light. It possesses an aura that is mostly at the second or third level.
The one flying at the very front, noticeably larger and with a tuft of golden feathers on its head, exuded demonic energy fluctuations that clearly indicated it was a level five demonic beast.
