Before boarding the ship, Wu Wang thought that the next three years on the ship would be particularly difficult, but he didn't expect...
unexpected comfort.
In his impression, this kind of merchant ship should be very bumpy, with a large number of sailors crowded in the narrow cabin; and because it often doesn't dock for one or two months, the whole ship is filled with a strong smell of sweat.
But after he boarded the ship and sat for a while, he found that the ship was very stable in the waves. After asking, he learned that this was the "Water Mansion" with the Human Realm Array Craft.
After becoming familiar with the ship's captain, Wu Wang also learned some details that he had previously overlooked.
Most of the merchant ships on the four seas are from the Human Realm, usually such "fat ships" that are thirty zhang long and twenty zhang wide. They rely on sea sails and the Five Elements Array arranged in the bottom cabin to move forward.
Even on the sails, there is a wind-catching array sewn, allowing the ship to reach a relatively high speed smoothly.
With the blessing of the array, this kind of merchant ship can travel around half of the Great Wasteland in three and a half years, from the North Wilderness all the way to the Human Realm.
Therefore, there are not many sailors on the ship, but there are two cultivators responsible for maintaining the array. The cultivation of an old man is still in the Condensing Elixir realm, but his breath is mixed and his foundation is not very solid. He has stopped at the Golden Elixir realm for a long time.
What surprised Wu Wang even more was that most of the space on this ship was given to various goods. Except for more than twenty sailors and several cultivators, there were only more than ten passengers on board.
Overall, it was very quiet and the cultivation environment was excellent.
Wu Wang waved his hand and rented the three largest cabins on the top floor. He meditated and practiced every day, played chess with Zuo Dongdao when he had nothing to do, teased Lin Suqing, and chatted with the cultivators and sailors on the ship to inquire about interesting things in the Human Realm.
"Happy."
In the luxuriously decorated top cabin, Wu Wang stretched lazily, and then lay back in the hanging basket by the window. His body swayed gently with the rocking of the ship.
Lin Suqing hummed a ballad and tidied up the messy chessboard on the side. She went out to wash some fruits and sat at the table next to the hanging basket to peel and plant.
"Suqing, how long have we left the North Wilderness?"
"It's been 102 days," Lin Suqing answered with a smile, "There are still more than three years to go, just endure it slowly."
"Why do I feel that your mood has been good recently?" Wu Wang asked in confusion, "Is it so depressing in the North Wilderness?"
"No, it's the same as when I was in the North Wilderness."
Lin Suqing turned her eyes and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I just feel that the sea is quiet and there are not many people. It's quite quiet."
Wu Wang thought for a while, his gaze drifted to the blue sea, and he just saw a giant fish more than ten zhang long leaping out of the water in the distance, and the sunlight shone on its scales, making it colorful.
"Suqing, since we have left the North Wilderness and our six-year agreement has also ended, you don't have to do these things for me."
"It's okay, it's a bonus for the next three years."Lin Suqing smiled happily and said, "Just think of it as a senior's care for a junior. Otherwise, call me senior and listen to it."
"Hmm?"
"I'm saying, should we call you Young Master as a senior? This way, it can cover up your identity."
Wu Wang smirked, "Call me and let me hear it."
"Senior..."
Lin Suqing pouted and her eyes gradually lost their happy shine.
Wu Wang narrowed his eyes and chuckled, reading a basic formation book borrowed from a cultivator on the ship.
He couldn't see it, but Lin Suqing waved her fist at the back of his head, made a few faces, and went to light up the illuminating artifact.
Outside the cabin, Zuo Dongzhen watched this scene and couldn't help but pinch his beard and hum softly. In the end, he could only shake his head and smile before returning to his own residence.
Young, not bad at all.
Sailing on the sea, they occasionally encountered large ships coming towards them. The time was not fixed, but the frequency was not too low.
Obviously, the Human Realm already had relatively mature navigation technology and clear navigation routes.
Wu Wang always closed the cabin door tightly, being cautious was never wrong.
Due to the lack of cultivation techniques after the Qi Gathering Technique, Wu Wang's cultivation realm was still in the Qi Gathering realm. He didn't dare to comprehend recklessly, afraid of creating a completely new technique.
To be honest, if he wanted to create a technique, it should be when he reached the end of his cultivation path.
If he created a technique when his cultivation was still shallow, he would face two major limitations: his own bottleneck and the bottleneck of inspiration.
While cultivating, if he couldn't figure out how to create the next step or found that he had taken the wrong path and was blocked ahead... then his cultivation would be officially wasted.
The biggest advantage of the existing cultivation system was to reduce the cost of trial and error for future cultivators.
And Wu Wang was happy to sit under the big tree and on the shoulders of giants.
So, half a year later.
"Brother Ji and Miss Ling should have returned to the Human Realm."
Wu Wang suddenly thought of these two people while meditating. He had gradually felt bored wandering on the sea, so he didn't plan to disembark before. However, when the merchant ship docked at some ports along the way, he would go down and take a walk.
Lin Suqing's state of mind was always good. She wandered around Wu Wang every day and even learned some music scores, thinking about how to help Wu Wang relieve his boredom.
After careful consideration, was this old aunt... hinting for a raise?
When he left the North Wilderness, the precious materials and beast cores he gave to Lin Suqing were enough to support the entire Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect for hundreds of years!
Today, the merchant ship would dock again. When Wu Wang could just see the edge of the land, he got up and tidied up.
He changed into a common long robe commonly seen in the Human Realm, with a soft cloth jacket and pants inside, and a jade-inlaid waistband, with a long hairband tied on his head...
He looked like an old Human Realm cultivator.Wu Wang was already used to completely hiding the fluctuations of his Star-Praying Technique. At this moment, intentionally revealing his Gathering Qi cultivation level which was not much different from the boatman's, he looked like a "small shrimp" from the Human Realm who was wandering around aimlessly.
"Su..."
"Suqing, this is not a solution for you."
In front of Lin Suqing's cabin door, Wu Wang's raised hand was about to knock on the door, but he stopped when he heard the voice of the old Daoist inside.
If he guessed correctly, Senior Zuo Dong should have sensed his arrival in advance. These words were seemingly for Lin Suqing to hear, but they were actually for him to hear.
Hearing Daoist Zuo Dong's sigh, he said:
"I have already seen through it. Your heart is already hung on Wu Wang.
If you really intend to become Dao companions with him, you can talk to him and seek a result. What is the point of treating yourself as a maid every day?"
Lin Suqing sighed softly...
Wu Wang pondered silently for a moment, thinking that the next step should be Lin Suqing's confession, and he turned around to prepare to slip away quietly.

Whether he listened or not didn't make much difference, it would only increase his worries.
But as he was about to take a step, he heard Lin Suqing sneer.
"Master, please don't add to the chaos," Lin Suqing laughed, "The young master cannot have a Dao companion."
"Why not?"
Daoist Zuo Dong was puzzled, "Doesn't Wu Wang's family still need him to have more children? Is it because of his body..."
"The young master's body is fine, oh, well, it's not that it's fine, but it's not the kind of problem you are thinking of, Master."
Lin Suqing pondered for a moment, her eyes flashing with a little brilliance, and she came up with a brilliant argument.
"The young master is not interested in women."
Daoist Zuo Dong's eyes widened, and his old face was first shocked, then he looked enlightened and murmured:
"No wonder Wu Wang didn't become the Crown Prince. He went to the Human Realm to cultivate with us."
Wu Wang's eyes widened.
Things seemed to have taken a strange turn.
His strange illness was temporary, and there was definitely a solution later! He liked women! And he especially liked women!
- Here, we still have to distinguish between him and Brother Ji, after all, Brother Ji's level is slightly higher, and ordinary men cannot reach it.
Lin Suqing continued:
"And the young master is not an ordinary human, he is very special and strange, but no matter how special or strange he is, he is very attractive.
In fact, I don't have any special intentions towards him, I just want to repay him for saving my life. Sometimes I even treat him as a younger brother."
Younger brother!
Wu Wang's mouth twitched frantically, and he left with his hands behind his back, walking quickly, lest he become angrier as he listened.
Daoist Zuo Dong subconsciously glanced at the cabin door, sighed slowly, and said:
"In that case, I won't ask anymore."
Lin Suqing patted her chest, secretly relieved, completely unaware of how bleak her future would be."The ship is docking! We will rest here for three hours and not take any cargo! Guests can get off the ship and explore the nearby market!"
The captain shouted, and more than ten figures emerged from various cabins, most of them full of energy.
- Thanks to the convenience of the formation, the merchant ship does not have to wait for the tide to rise and fall when docking or leaving the port. They only need to pay attention to whether there are reefs in the shallow sea area. If there are reefs, the ship workers will use talismans to blow them up.
Wu Wang did not find anyone to travel with and jumped off the ship as soon as it docked, landing steadily.
He took a folding fan, hummed a tune, and smiled like Ji Mo. He walked leisurely, and his long hair was slightly blown by the salty sea breeze, making him look spirited.
There was not much to see in this market, mostly specialties from the Northwest Region, not much different from the North Wilderness market.
However, the quality of the treasure mines was lower, but the price was three times higher.
Wu Wang carefully analyzed it and suspected that it was the innate Sky God who ruled the Northwest Region...and did not have much hair.
He went to the corner to see the slave trade, went to a local teahouse to try new flavors, and spent his "vacation" of three hours carelessly. However, he couldn't spend all the jade coins he had prepared.
By the way, he heard that large transactions in the Human Realm were all made directly with spirit stones. When leaving, Wu Wang also packed a storage bag of the North Wilderness's top-quality pure spirit stone mines.
It was useless in such a market.
Calculating the time, Wu Wang set off early and stepped on the return journey, feeling a strong attachment to the land under his feet.
Suddenly, he heard a voice from the street corner:
"When it's time to stop, stop. When it's time to move, move. Don't miss the timing, and the way will be clear."
Wu Wang followed the sound and saw an old man in a straw coat sitting behind a stone table on the street corner. He hung a tattered flag with an eight-trigram on it behind him and placed a faded cloth bag at his feet.
The black robe he was wearing was quite exquisite, and the patches on the robe were deliberately selected with almost the same color fabric.
Upon closer inspection, this person had a ruddy complexion and a peaceful breath. He occasionally stroked his beard and recited a few profound sentences, savoring them with pleasure after he finished.
At first glance, he seemed to be an ordinary diviner, but on second thought...
This was the Northwest Region, far away from the Human Realm. The various races living here had their own gods to worship. Who would come here to divine?
Vaguely, there seemed to be a Qi around him.
Wu Wang became alert.
Had he been exposed?
Was it because of what Ji Mo and the middle-aged scholar discussed, and the middle-aged scholar reported the incident of the North Wilderness Bear Hug Clan's young master to "higher-ups," who then came looking for him?
Wu Wang remained calm, withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk towards the large ship docked at the port.
The diviner frowned slightly and immediately recited loudly:"Between heaven and earth, there are those who have form, those who do not, those who manifest the natural world, and those who condense the principles of heaven and earth."
Wu Wang glanced at the old man, but only gave him a quick glance before stepping out of the street without looking back.
The divination old man's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted, "Hey! Young man!"
Wu Wang acted as if he didn't hear him.
The old man jumped up and chased after Wu Wang, panting as he opened his arms and blocked Wu Wang's path. "Young man, didn't you hear me calling you?"
"Young man? Are you talking about me?" Wu Wang blinked and smiled. "It's been many years since someone called me that. It takes some getting used to... What can I do for you, sir?"
"I see that your forehead is dark and your eyebrows are red. This might be an omen of bloodshed..."
Clang!
A bag of jade coins fell into the old man's hands. He instinctively held it and felt its weight.
Wu Wang bowed and said seriously, "I'm in a hurry and pressed for time. This is the consultation fee and the cost to break the disaster. Whether or not I can avoid this disaster depends on you, sir!"
With that, he lightly jumped half a step, waved his folding fan, and drifted away.
The old man was momentarily stunned. He looked at the jade coins in his hand, then turned to look at Wu Wang's back, almost out of breath.
Why is this kid so difficult?
The old man shouted loudly, "Young man, this is a matter of fate. Don't underestimate it!"
Wu Wang waved his hand without turning back. "No need, no need. My fate is in my own hands."
My fate!
The old man was clearly taken aback. He muttered those words to himself and his eyes were filled with light.
What a lofty ambition, to have no regard for fate and to have no gods in one's eyes!
"I didn't expect to find such a talent in this remote northwest of the Great Wasteland. What a great gain!" The old man's face was filled with joy as he quickly returned to his stall, picked up his divination flag and package, and rushed to the port like a gust of wind.
However, before the old man could catch up to Wu Wang, a message was transmitted into his ear. He immediately stopped and looked around nervously.
When he saw a figure in a raincoat and bare feet, leaning on a crutch not far away, the old man immediately lowered his head and stepped back a few steps, slowly returning to his divination stall.
Unconsciously, the old man's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his expression uneasy and his eyes filled with fear.
What he had just heard was indeed his own voice, and he had said...
"Step aside, I'll deal with this boy myself."
