After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 89 Iron Ship
"Who thinks martial arts cultivation is too high? Of course, the higher the better."

Li Musheng spread his hands, while Li Yuanling stared at him for a while with a suspicious look on her face:
"I really can't imagine how you cultivated yourself. You're not much older than me. Why are you so skilled in martial arts?"

"Could it be... that you used to rely on taking pills to improve your cultivation?"

Hearing this, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows and said:

"I wish I could eat the things you mentioned, but unfortunately, I was so poor that I couldn't afford anything."

"Just by practicing, can one achieve such a powerful martial arts skill?"

Li Yuanling's eyes were filled with shock. Then, she suddenly looked around the boat, her eyes rolled around, and said:
"If you say so, I'm starting to wonder if there were other masters secretly helping us just now."

As she spoke, she stood up, stretched out her green fingers and gently poked Li Musheng's arm, frowning and saying:

"Also, you don't have any true energy in your body. How come? I always thought you hadn't even reached the Xiantian realm of martial arts?"

Hearing this, Li Musheng chuckled, stretched out his hand to push away Li Yuanling's fingers, and said with a look of disgust:

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is called returning to nature. It's amazing!"

Then he waved his hand and said:
"Alright, even if I tell you, you won't understand. Put away the jade tokens and let's wait for the prize draw."

Li Yuanling curled her lips and wondered in her heart, is there really such a thing as a realm of martial arts called returning to nature?

After finding nothing, she thought that she must investigate it thoroughly when she got back. She couldn't let her sworn brother, who looked powerful but unreliable, fool her.

……

On a wooden boat in the underground lake, three women in embroidered long skirts stood gracefully, each with picturesque eyes and graceful figures.

But at this moment, their expressions were extremely solemn, and their eyes, as clear as autumn water, kept scanning the surrounding wooden boats vigilantly.

Just now they were waiting for the opportunity and obtained a large number of jade tokens from many people who came to snatch the jade tokens from the three sisters.

Especially from one of the girls who looked fierce and evil, they got the most jade tokens, a total of fifteen.

However, not long after they obtained the largest number of jade tokens, something strange happened. All the jade tokens they obtained flew away. Even if they wanted to stop them, they were unable to do so.

"There must be a master who has taken action. It seems that it is impossible for us to take first place today."

Shu Wan'er frowned and spoke. The same situation happened on many wooden boats around them. The other party had such amazing means and should not be underestimated.

Hearing this, Shu Qing'er beside her shook her head and said:
"Master has ordered us to enter the depths of Fuzhou City today. This way, she can follow our aura and attack us from the dark. Therefore, we must be in the top ten no matter what."

Shu Ying'er nodded slightly and said:
"Now that the jade tokens are lost, we can only continue to rob other wooden boats. From what I observed, the person just now should not have taken all the jade tokens. We still have a chance."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three women looked at each other and tacitly agreed to leave one person to guard the boat, while the other two immediately floated out and disappeared into the darkness.

……

At the same time, in the darkness above the entire underground lake, chains hoisted a massive black iron ship, which lay suspended in mid-air. Aboard the ship, nearly a dozen people busied themselves, brushes and paper scrolls in hand, observing the situation on the various wooden boats in the lake below while constantly writing something on the scrolls in their hands.

"Old Sheng, I believe you have seen what happened just now. It seems that an extremely formidable master has come to our Fuzhou City today."

A tall man in a dark robe and with a strong aura walked slowly from the back of the iron ship, followed by an old man in black.

Soon, the two men came to the edge of the iron ship and stood still. On the right side of the man's deck, sat an old man in a gray robe with gray hair and a wrinkled face.

The old man's body, hands and feet were all locked with several black iron chains, and his arms were clasped with circles of copper rings, making him look extremely unusual.

At this moment, the old man looked down at the lake below the iron ship, and all the wooden boats with lit candles were clearly visible to him.

However, his gaze was always fixed on the wooden boat where Li Musheng and the other man were.

"I haven't noticed anyone sneaking into Fuzhou City, nor have I found the person who did it. I suggest you investigate the identities of these two people."

The gray-robed old man spoke slowly, and the iron chains around him swayed slightly, making a sound of metal dragging on the ground.

The tall man also looked at the wooden boat where Li Musheng was, nodded slightly, and said:
"People have been sent to check."

Then, he turned to look at the old man in black and asked:
"Are those the two people you are talking about?"

The old man in black withdrew his gaze from below, nodded immediately, and saluted respectfully:
"Your Highness, it is definitely them. My palm wind blew past their candles earlier, but it didn't affect them at all."

Hearing this, Tu Yao waved his hand, signaling the old man in black to retreat.

Not long after, he spoke again:

"It seems that the news that Fuzhou City has obtained Qilin blood must have leaked out, otherwise it wouldn't suddenly attract such a large group of people."

At this moment, his gaze swept across the underground lake below, and stopped one by one on several wooden boats carrying Zhang He, Shu Wan'er and three others.

"There's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable. The Qilin blood is a legendary item, attracting countless martial artists. It won't be easy for you to hide this news."

The grey-robed old man Sheng Shian shook his head slightly, then warned:
"The best plan now is to find someone who can harness the Qilin blood as soon as possible and use it. Otherwise, similar troubles will continue to come, and I'm afraid the entire Fuzhou City won't be able to withstand this for much longer."

Hearing this, Tu Yao's eyes flickered slightly and he said:

"The City Lord has been in seclusion, trying to swallow the Qilin blood. However, that thing is too overbearing. Many of our masters have been burned to ashes by its escaping aura just by getting close. I wonder if the City Lord can control it?"

The grey-robed old man Sheng Shian was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"Qilin blood comes from the ancient mythical beast, the Fire Qilin. Only a few pieces appear every sixty years, and yet, there are only a handful of people who can wield it. In addition to requiring profound martial arts training, one's physical fitness and luck are also extremely important factors."

"It's not easy for Su Changqing to break through to the first level of martial arts by swallowing Qilin blood."
