Staring at the receding figure of Yang Zhen, the two old men remained stunned for a long time.

Elder Gu shook his head in amazement, “He’s the most shameless yet unique person I’ve ever met.”

“And to think of his incredible talent, such a waste.”

“Waste? What waste?” Old Man Gu’s eyes widened, “Becoming King of the Sea Thieves isn’t that easy. He hasn’t grasped the vastness of the East Sea nor the strength of Qishan Cave Sky. Once he sets foot on East Forest Island, he’ll still dutifully participate in the selection.”

Old Man Ci chuckled sinisterly then buoyantly said, “I really want to see what kind of expression this kid will have then. Old Man Gu, you must not go easy on him. It’s a matter of principle!”

Old Man Gu glanced at Old Man Ci, “You eat that tree first!”

Old Man Ci paused before widening his eyes, “Split it in half?”

Old Man Gu was taken aback, “Or… never mind?”

“Deal!”

As disrespectful as they were elderly, the disheveled old men moved stealthily like thieves. In an instant, their figures disappeared.

In mid-air, their conversation continued.

“I heard the national diviner from Dajiang Country was provoked to spit blood, aging in reverse, eh? After so many years, he’s still pining for that girl from the Hua family.”

“We’ll know when we see him. This visit to Flame City, I don’t know if we’ll be able to find some decent people. The quality on the Nether State mainland has been going downhill, it’s been years since a prodigy has emerged.”

“That Hua Youyue from the Hua family seems promising, she’s a potential seed.”

“Her?” Old Man Ci scoffed, “She’s not up to it. She hasn’t even opened her Ling Sea, if she had, she might be able to pull off a fight.”

“The Hua family has fallen into decline!”

In the guest room of the Hua family, Xiao Ji furiously smashed an ancient porcelain cup to the ground. His face filled with coldness, then he sighed and waved his hand, “Everyone, leave. It ends here. Yang Zhen, appears reckless, but he’s actually incredibly cunning. I underestimated him.”

The scholar with a pale face grew even more ashen at the words. He respectfully left but walked strangely.

“Are you injured?” Xiao Ji furrowed his brow.

The scholar stumbled but gritted his teeth, “No.”

Xiao Ji stared at the scholar’s backside for a moment, nodded, and said, “Off you go!”

A moment later, Xiao Ji came to the bedside in another guest room, where he respectfully informed the national diviner of Dajiang Country, “Master, I’m preparing for Star Breaking.”

The national diviner of Dajiang Country looked at Xiao Ji in surprise, pondered for a moment, and then said, “With your current condition, the success rate of Star Breaking is less than sixty percent!”

Xiao Ji smiled, “Sixty percent is more than enough!”

Star Breaking, was a particularly destructive method in Xiao Ji’s cultivation techniques. It involved breaking down one’s entire body mechanism, then re-coalescing through the power of stars. If he failed, he would at least become handicapped or worse, dice. If successful, Xiao Ji’s strength would almost double.

“Why?” The national diviner of Dajiang Country looked deeply at Xiao Ji before speaking in a deep voice, “I don’t want Yang Zhen becoming your demon. If your Star Breaking relates to him, then forget about it.”

Xiao Ji simply smiled, “It’s related, and it’s not. Master, do you know why Yang Zhen dared to come to the Hua family all by himself?”

The national diviner of Dajiang Country faltered, “Why?”

“He set up a six-star array disk in the valley east of the city. He also hid dozens of pre-prepared small array disks. The primal energy contained within those disks was extremely explosive. Once detonated, the entire valley would be destroyed. Despite this, his chances of surviving his visit to the Hua family were less than thirty percent. Yet, he still came.”

The national diviner of Dajiang country furrowed his brow and laughed dryly, “This kid is so ruthless, he doesn’t even spare himself?”

Xiao Ji nodded, “I think if I were to truly face off with him, I might not be his opponent.”

The national diviner of Dajiang Country closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep.

“Get prepared. The two Elders Gu and Ci will arrive at Flame City in a couple of days, and you’ll be representing me in greeting them.”

Xiao Ji lit up with joy: “It indeed is the pair of Elder Gu and Ci, notorious as the ‘Double Ancestors’. This disciple surely won’t let you down.”

“If you can manage to be in their good graces, you might stumble upon some unexpected gains.”

Xiao Ji was beside himself with joy and respectfully retreated from the room.

Yang Zhen hadn’t discarded those two signs. It wasn’t that he was bold, but he felt it was too much of a hassle, so he just tossed them into his storage ring and soon forgot about it.

In the following dozen or so days, Yang Zhen had a leisurely journey. He practically never used his sword to travel; he ate wherever he went, and in a dozen days he finished off all the extraordinary treasures kept to eat in his storage ring.

Even if it seemed a bit wasteful, it was pleasurable to Yang Zhen. It’s hard to buy happiness, and when Yang Zhen realized this, he felt a sudden uneasiness.

In this dozen of days, the Golden Core within his Dantian had not only completely stabilized, but it also got bigger. The Golden Core of others, even if they cultivate to the Golden Core Stage level nine, would only be the size of a walnut, but his had gotten a bit too large – it was as big as a fist.

“This must be the fattest Golden Core in the world!”

Yang Zhen was worried. When this thing broke its core to become a baby, would it be a chubby little one? Wouldn’t it be odd to have a Nascent Soul in his stomach that was chubby like a ball?

But he had even managed to grow saplings in his head, so a slightly fatter Nascent Soul wouldn’t hurt.

Early the next day, Yang Zhen sold a few items in a place called Xiushan City. After exchanging them for some useful items and crystals, he went to the Xiushan City Trading Depot to ask about flying boats to the Coast of the East Sea.

A short assistant attended to Yang Zhen.

“You’ve come to the right person, young master. There are numerous commercial ships headed to the Coast of the East Sea right now, but only a few powerful ones are hiring guards. I happen to know about them.”

Yang Zhen was startled and asked, “Who told you I wanted to be a guard?”

At this, the assistant was baffled, “If you aren’t to be a guard, why ask about flying boats to the East Sea?”

“Of course, I’m going for sightseeing!” Yang Zhen answered as a matter of fact, “I’m asking you, aren’t there any strong flying boats that don’t need to hire guards but are willing to take passengers?”

“This…” The assistant hesitated for a moment, then slapped his palms together, “There really are!”

Oh boy!

Yang Zhen instantly cheered up.

If there were such flying boats, it would be comfortable.

He would not consider those business groups that were not strong and wanted to make a fortune by chance. If they encountered robbers and were not strong enough, they could kill all around to act tough. This was a set pattern, which appeared in almost every novel, and people were enthusiastic about spreading it.

However, if they met a group of powerful robbers and got screwed instead of acting tough, it would be pitiful. Yang Zhen wouldn’t do such unreliable things.

Reliable and strong teams were the best. They could eat, drink, and have fun along the way while also enjoying the scenery. This was life.

“Only…” The assistant seemed a little vexed, “just that the leading sister of this merchant group is a bit strange.”

“What kind of strange?” Yang Zhen was surprised.

“The leading sister really likes to make friends with geniuses from all over. As long as you get approval from the leading sister, you could not only travel with the merchant group for free but also meet talented people from various places on the ship. It’s quite the honor to be aboard the leading sister’s flying boat merchant ship in Xiushan City.”

Yang Zhen became interested and asked, “That sounds intriguing, how does one gain the approval of the leading sister?”

“The young master just needs to answer three questions!”

Yang Zhen was surprised, his interest was piqued, “Come on, bring me to her right away..”
