fairy family

Chapter 262 I am a descendant of an ancient cultivator, and everyone here is a good person.

After leaving Zhenjun Island, Yu Que followed the directions Gong Dongxue had given him and headed straight for the location of this year's Hai City.

With the protection of the Rakshasa-headed ship along the way, the storms at sea were nothing to him.

Once he was familiar with the situation at sea, he simply enlarged the Rakshasa flagship, restoring it to its original size of hundreds of feet, and handed over control of the flagship to Ling Gong Dongxue and others.

He himself plunged headlong into the lead boat, continuing to immerse himself in cultivation and contemplation.

time flies.

Just as Yu Que finished all his gains during his seclusion, a knock sounded outside his meditation room.

With a flick of his sleeve, the door to the quiet room opened, revealing Gong Dongxue's delighted expression.

Gong Dongxue greeted her and quickly said:
"We've arrived at the sea, Junior Brother, you can leave seclusion now."

Yu Que's expression also brightened. He nodded, suddenly stood up, and his body transformed into a wisp of sword light, swaying as he passed through the corridor of the lead ship and appeared at the very top of the Rakshasa lead ship.

He looked ahead and found no storm, but a clear blue sky, white clouds, and a pristine sea.

Such a calm sea surface was something he had never seen near Zhenjun Island, not even during the current stormy season, and even in the past when there were no storms.

In addition, ships of all sizes crawled on the calm sea like ants, while in the air, there were also many flying cloud ships, some traveling alone, others clustering together like flocks of birds.

The direction in which these ships converged was an island formed by ships connected by clouds and mist.

The island has a large population; from a distance, you can see small figures moving about.

Yu Que looked at the scene before him in surprise, and sighed softly:
"I never expected that such a prosperous and densely populated place could exist in such a remote and desolate place. It is truly a rare sight."

At this moment, Gong Dongxue and Princess Rakshasa had already arrived at his side.

Upon hearing Yu Que's sigh, the Rakshasa Queen immediately chuckled softly:

"Your Excellency, although the overseas regions are not as diverse as the domestic ones, the various ethnic groups live scattered around. On ordinary days, it may seem that there are not many people, but if they were gathered together, there would be quite a few."

She pointed to the mirage in the distance and said:

"We arrived early; the market hasn't opened yet, and these are just the first people to arrive."

I have come here three times with my father, one of which was during a major year when the mirage was the largest in the last thirty years.

Legend has it that during that mirage, as many as one million people from various ethnic groups gathered there.

Yu Que looked at the Rakshasa Princess in surprise.

"There are actually a million people from overseas who are only allowed to participate in the market?"

Gong Dongxue stood to the side, seemingly knowing what Yu Que was wondering about, and quickly whispered:

"Of course, not everyone in this million-person population is a celestial being. There are bound to be some guards, boatmen, and so on, just like the clumsy Rakshasa people under Xiao Qi's command."

Upon hearing this, Yu Que concealed the surprise on his face.

He chuckled and said, "That may be true, but even if we include servants and the like, a million people, if all the Dao Palaces in the Central Plains were to join together, I don't know how many Dao Palaces would be needed to gather enough."

Seeing this now has broadened my horizons.

Yu Que spoke for a while, then immediately issued the order:

"Enter the port immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the Huangshan disciples and Rakshasa people on the Rakshasa's ship all responded, "Yes."

Soon, the Rakshasa ship arrived at the ferry crossing of the Ten Directions Sea City.

Although this market town has not officially opened yet, there is no shortage of pilots at the ferry terminal, and they have not mentioned inspecting any surplus or missing boats, showing a rather friendly attitude.

However, Yu Que did not accept the island's pilot's hospitality. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the huge Rakshasa-headed ship behind him quickly shrank to the size of a goose egg and was put into his sleeve.

This place is the territory of foreign races and heretical sects, so he needs to prepare for his escape later.

Fortunately, his Rakshasa-headed boat could change size and even hold living creatures, so he wouldn't have to dock at the ferry, saving him the trouble of having to come to the ferry first when he needed to escape in the future.

Without Gong Dongxue and others accompanying him, his identity as a member of a Central Plains immortal family became easier to conceal.

With a whoosh, Yu Que bypassed the navigator and headed directly into the interior of the sea city.

Before long, he entered a neighborhood-like area where people came and went, some walking alone like him, and others coming and going in groups.

However, the vast majority of the people, who either had horns, hooves, or whiskers, were not pure humanoids but rather alien creatures from the sea.

This made Yu Que stand out somewhat as he walked among them.

Soon after, someone approached him.

The newcomer was a young man with a towel draped over his shoulder. He walked familiarly up to Yu Que, gave him a curt bow, and said:

"Oh, may this gentleman have good fortune."

Do you need accommodation or a guide? I've been waiting here ever since this mirage was just a few small boats, just to help you, sir.

The guy rattled off a string of words, successfully attracting Yu Que's attention.

Yu Que looked at the various shops that were still undulating and densely packed on both sides of the street. After a moment of thought, he took out a pearl with a bit of spiritual energy from his sleeve and threw it to the person.

He didn't waste any words, he just said one word: "Lead the way."

The waiter quickly held the pearl in both hands, beaming with joy, and said:

"okay.

"I'll take you there now."

The other party patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. Our shop only does business with pure human races. We will definitely not allow other races to harass you."

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare bother you.

Soon, Yu Que followed the other party and wandered through the neighborhood for a distance, arriving at a building called "Youyuan Inn".

On the way, he chatted with his companion for a while and learned that in addition to the various groups of people who came to the market, there were also a full third of the forces in the market who, like the other party, would arrive in advance to use their own ships as inns to make money.

It is these interconnected steps that have created the most vibrant and exciting event on the sea.

After boarding the ship, Yu Que sat on the deck and chatted with the crew for a while. He learned that there was still about half a month before the official start of the sea market.

However, most of the major maritime powers have already dispatched their personnel to the maritime market, setting up shops, workshops, and so on. But the fact that these shops and workshops have been set up does not mean that they will open for business now. Many of these shops will not even open when the maritime market begins. Instead, they will open their doors and lower their entry requirements in the later stages of the maritime market, when it is at its most bustling, like a grand finale.

Yu Que frowned and said:

"So, if I want to buy some good things, I have to wait until the market starts, or even until it's almost over?"

The worker immediately nodded and shook his head.

The other party smiled and said:
"Is this your first time coming alone, sir? May I ask whether you came by merchant ship or by treasure ship? If you came by treasure ship, what grade of treasure ship is it?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Que frowned even more and lowered his gaze.

But before he could react, the innkeeper quickly said:
"Please calm down, sir. I did not mean to ask questions randomly. It is just that the mirages seen by those who came by merchant ship and those who came by their own treasure ship are not the same mirages."

The former can only wander around the market, waiting for the maritime market to open and hoping to make a deal by chance. The latter, on the other hand, will be approached by brokers in the market as soon as they land, and the shops run by various major powers will also open their doors to them with great convenience.

Different types and grades of treasure ships were sought after by various merchants to varying degrees.

After listening to the waiter's explanation, Yu Que's expression softened, and he instead let out a sneer:
"I see. It's just a matter of treating people differently based on their status."

He stopped listening to the other person's rambling and, after a few moments of contemplation, said:

"So, if someone were to arrive by piloting their own treasure ship, and that ship were of the highest quality, how would they get the merchants in the market to open for business ahead of time?"

The innkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The man quickly bowed and spoke:
“Such a person need not be waited for. I will make the arrangements right away.”

Yu Que didn't ask the other party how or what the arrangements were. He nodded and sat on the deck of the ship, leisurely observing the people in the market.

He didn't have to wait long before the innkeeper came walking down the street, beaming with pride. But when he got to Yu Que, he became meek and submissive.

The waiter gave Yu Que a big bow and invited him to come along. The two then walked along the street toward the depths of the city.

Before long, they arrived at a magnificent ship that resembled a palace. This ship was not on the sea, but rather it was built up in layers and suspended in mid-air, standing tall and majestic.

On the largest pavilion of the ship, there is a sign that reads "Lingbao Pavilion".

The innkeeper pointed to the pavilion and introduced it: "This pavilion was built by one of the ten famous immortal sects overseas. It contains all kinds of magical artifacts and treasures, including many ghost artifacts and treasures from the Ghost Clan of the Central Plains."

Upon hearing this, Yu Que raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's that immortal sect called?"

The innkeeper replied, "Reporting to the Daoist Master, it is the Lingbao Immortal Sect."

Yu Que pondered for a while. He had heard a little about this immortal sect. It was said that this sect was the master of the ancient immortal path of weapon crafting, and that one could become an immortal by refining and nurturing weapons.

Furthermore, it is said that the Immortal Cultivation Method of the Spirit Treasure Immortal Sect is closely related to the Immortal Cultivation Method of the Sword Cultivator.

Yu Que immediately became interested, and at the same time, in order to avoid being noticed and not to expose his purpose of seeking evil too early, he immediately walked towards the pavilion.

Upon reaching the pavilion, a protective array rose up, blocking him at the door. He immediately heard the innkeeper's voice in his ear.

The other party said in a low voice, "Reporting to the Daoist Master, if you want to step into the threshold of such a shop, you must produce some funds or proof of identity to prove that you have the ability. Otherwise, you can only wait until the market opens its doors to the public before you can come and have a look."

After the innkeeper finished speaking, he stared expectantly at Yu Que. As for the Lingbao Pavilion, it remained silently standing there, with no one coming out to greet them, not even sending any divine senses towards them.

Yu Que was just about to take out some money and food to smash open the door of the Lingbao Pavilion.

But just as his hand reached into the Five-Piece Bag, another thought struck him. He stepped forward, channeled his inner energy, and pushed open the door of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

With a whoosh, the array was easily passed through by his palm, and the gate of the Lingbao Pavilion was also pushed open with a creak, causing the entire Lingbao Pavilion ship to sway slightly.

This scene caught the eye of the innkeeper, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Having spent nearly ten years in the city, he had never seen anyone knock on the door of a shop like Lingbao Pavilion empty-handed. An idea immediately popped into his head.

The innkeeper blurted out, "Daoist Master, are you also a disciple of the Lingbao Immortal Sect?"

Yu Que pushed open the door, withdrew his hand, and walked inside with his hands behind his back.

"No."

He smiled and said without turning his head, "However, I am also a disciple of the ancient lineage of cultivators."

At that moment, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out inside the Lingbao Pavilion.

A ray of light drifted gracefully from inside the pavilion and landed in front of Yu Que.

The other person stared intently at the two who had stepped across the threshold, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Such pure and refined true energy!"

No wonder you were able to enter my Spirit Treasure Pavilion ahead of time; it turns out you are also a true descendant of an ancient lineage.

Yu Que glanced at the newcomer and found that he was a Qi Condensation cultivator, and the sharp feeling he gave him was no less than that of Xuan Mingzi on Rakshasa Island.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." He bowed to the other party, performing an ancient salute.

The disciple from the Lingbao Immortal Sect strode over. Although his cultivation was higher than Yu Que's, he wore a smile and spoke politely:

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what kind of ancient lineage you cultivate, and what you wish to purchase from our sect today?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Que briefly uttered a few words, referring to himself as a sword cultivator.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Lingbao Immortal Sect became even more enthusiastic, saying:
“Sword cultivators are great, perhaps our ancestors were even from the same family.”

My name is Ling Yunzi. Please follow me, fellow Daoist.

Led by this "Ling Yunzi", Yu Que ascended to the second and third floors of the Lingbao Pavilion, where a dazzling array of magical artifacts and treasures immediately came into view, including some treasures of the Refining Qi level that were still intact.

The other party even claimed that there were fragments of immortal artifacts in the pavilion, but it was inconvenient to take them out now and they could only be taken out when the pavilion held an auction.

After Yu Que had gained some knowledge, he took his leave and went to other shops. Ling Yunzi even came out personally to see him off to the other shops.

As for the innkeeper who had led the way, he had been sent back long ago. If Yu Que hadn't been unwilling to move, Ling Yunzi would have wanted to persuade him to live in the building behind the Lingbao Pavilion, claiming that the spiritual energy there was abundant and incomparable to any ordinary inn.

When Yu Que arrived at the "Dan Ding Tower" and lured out a disciple of the Dan Ding Immortal Sect, Ling Yunzi finally withdrew.

The disciple from the Dan Ding Immortal Sect, upon seeing the quality of Yu Que's true energy, also displayed a warm and friendly expression.

Not only the Dan Ding Immortal Sect, but when Yu Que finally arrived at the "Talisman Array Hall," the disciples of the Talisman Array Immortal Sect were equally friendly to him.

The same thing happened to the disciples of the Joyful Immortal Sect, the Beast Taming Immortal Sect, and so on.

This surprised Yu Que greatly. He found that these overseas immortal sects were all "good people," friendly and harmonious, and their quality was much higher than that of the immortal families in the Central Plains and the immortal families on True Monarch Island!
