Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

"Brother Wu, the shore is covered with reeds, and there are many mosquitoes. Why don't we row our boat to the middle of the lake and have some tea?"

Li Nian took a sip of tea.

Crescent Moon Island is guarded by the government and ordinary people are not allowed to set foot on it.

If he were seen spending time with Wu Changfeng on the island by someone with ulterior motives, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, so he deliberately found an excuse to leave.

"Excellent!"

Wu Changfeng nodded.

He also knew Li Nian's true intentions and understood them perfectly.

Li Nian stood up and said:

"Brother Wu, please have some tea inside the boat for now. I'll go row."

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Li."

Wu Changfeng did not compete and complied with Li Nian's arrangement.

If you are a guest without prior arrangement, you should follow the host's lead.

Li Nian stepped out of the boat and rowed to waters about a mile from the lake island.

While rowing, he opened the system and looked at the blue box in front of him.

"Next piece of intelligence!"

[Intelligence 2: Inside the Tianhai Blessed Land Sect, there is a sacred artifact used for worshipping Heaven, called the "Tianhai Xuancang Jade". This artifact was made by Wu Rong, the founder of the Tianhai Sect.]

Every eighty-one years, this jade disc draws upon the pure energy of the heavens, its entire body radiating a vast blue glow. It disregards all obstacles, no matter how many mountains or laws obstruct it. Rising into the sky, it stirs the energy of heaven and earth, causing extraordinary light to fall and strange phenomena to fill the heavens. In the darkness, it selects those with affinity, determining their destiny based on their auspicious fate and status.

Wu Changfeng is the tenth destined talent of Tianhai Blessed Land, and his fortune and blessings are rated as: above average; Tianhai Xuancangbi's evaluation: Heroic bones, he can be tempered in the world and his martial arts can be elevated to a higher level, and he can comprehend the divine presence.

"The destiny chosen by the ritual vessels!"

Looking at the information in the intelligence report, Li Nian felt a chill run down his spine.

He originally thought that Wu Changfeng's destiny and identity were ordained by Heaven.

Unexpectedly—

It was actually a ritual object made by the founding patriarch of the Tianhai Sect, chosen as the destiny of the chosen one!

How incredibly powerful was Wu Rong, the founder of the Tianhai Sect!

Wait a minute.

Li Nian's gaze sharpened.

Surname Wu?

Wu Changfeng also has the surname Wu. Could there be a connection between the two?

Or is Wu Changfeng's destiny seed custom-made?

In any case, Wu Changfeng's future is bright.

The bones of a hero, tempered by the world, can elevate martial arts to new heights, and grant enlightenment to the divine...

You can reach the realm of gods!

"Truly a child of destiny!"

Li Nian gasped.

After catching his breath, he looked at the next piece of information.

[Intelligence 3: Tu Yue, the fifth leader of Shenyuan Village, traveled from Yunting Island to Shenyuan Village half an hour ago to request permission from Fan Pingbo, the leader of Shenyuan Village, to attack Canyue Island. His main purposes for this trip are twofold: First, Liu Tanqi, the tenth leader of Shenyuan Village, died on the way to abduct Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi. Shenyuan Village suspects that Yi Jifeng was responsible, and Tu Yue intends to massacre Canyue Island to warn the Yi family; Second, Tu Yue is unable to go to Qianhu County to seek revenge on Yi Jifeng, and plans to use you, who accompanied him, as a scapegoat.]

[A quarter of an hour ago, Fan Pingbo had already approved Tu Yue's application. At this moment, he had gathered three Ming Jin experts, along with a hundred elite water ghosts, and was preparing to depart for Crescent Moon Island. Tu Yue would not take action unless absolutely necessary.]

Tu Yue's cultivation level: Three Apertures of Hidden Strength

"They've arrived!"

Li Nian narrowed her eyes, a chilling killing intent seeping into them.

He guessed that Shenyuan Village would attack Canyue Island.

Liu Tanqi died on the way to abduct the Yi family's young lady. Given the nature of Shenyuan Village, they will certainly not let the Yi family off the hook.

It's just a matter of time before it comes to it.

To Li Nian's slight surprise, this time it was Tu Yue, the fifth leader of Shenyuan Village, who had a fearsome reputation as the River-Turning Flood Dragon, who was leading the team.

As for Tu Yue, he will not take action unless absolutely necessary.

Li Nian remembered something.

On the way to the academy to rescue Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi, he learned from Zheng Changgong that since two and a half years ago, when Shenyuan Village launched a large-scale invasion of Canyue Island and killed Yi Linchuan, Shenyuan Village seemed to have made some rule that all those above the Dark Force level were no longer allowed to go out to plunder.

He suspected that the various factions in Shenyuan Village and Qianhu County might have secretly made some kind of rule.

Looking at it now, it's probably just as expected!

Li Nian secretly plotted:

"Since Tu Yue won't make a move rashly, the real threat to Crescent Moon Island comes from three Ming Jin martial artists and over a hundred elite water ghosts."

"If that's the case, I don't need to go back to prepare early."

"I was relaxed in front of Wu Changfeng just now. If I rush back now, it will inevitably make Wu Changfeng think too much."

"Even if we return early, we must not inform them of the bandit attack on the island!"

After making your plans, let's move on to the next piece of intelligence.

[Intelligence 4: Yi Huan broke through to the Dark Force level this morning and opened the first aperture, but is still in seclusion to consolidate his Dark Force cultivation.]

Yi Huan has made a breakthrough!

Li Nian was shocked for a moment, then her face lit up with joy.

Now that Yi Huan has broken through, there's no need for him to rush back.

It's just unknown how Yi Huan's strength compares to Tu Yue's.

If Yi Huan can restrain Tu Yue, and he intervenes to help, he might be able to kill him!

Thinking of this, Li Nian narrowed his eyes, a flash of killing intent disappearing from them.

"Next piece of intelligence!"

Keep reading.

[Intelligence 5: The Ruan family's merchant ship from Qianhu County is returning from the prefectural city and is passing through the waters where you are. On board is Bai Fengjia, the granddaughter of the Ruan family patriarch. Bai Fengjia's sudden return is to attend the "Shaking Mountain Martial Banquet" hosted by the Ji family. The top three winners of this banquet can enter the "Mysterious Turtle Essence Pool," a secret realm of the Shaking Mountain Camp. This pool is extremely effective for Ming Jin to break through to An Jin, and it is also quite beneficial for An Jin martial artists.]

Bai Fengjia's cultivation level: Peak of Ming Jin (a martial arts skill).

"The Black Tortoise's Essence Pool..."

"It is very beneficial for breaking through the hidden strength, no wonder Bai Fengjia suddenly turned back."

Li Nian lowered her eyes slightly, thinking to herself.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he looked towards the direction of the prefectural city.

At the vast end of the lake, a magnificent sail shines in the sunlight. The huge ship cuts through the waves, its hull heavy and stable, its sail covering half of the lake, creating a truly spectacular sight.

On the brocade sail, a black character "阮" (Ruan) the size of a courtyard was sewn on.

Ruan Jia's magnificent ship!

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Just as Li Nian was gazing into the distance, the excited voice of Little White the Treasure-Seeking Mouse came from inside the boat.

Li Nian turned her head and saw Xiao Bai leap out of the boat like a bolt of lightning, standing on the awning of the covered boat. Its beady eyes gleamed, drool dripped from its mouth, and its little paws kept wiping it, as if it had discovered something delicious.

At this moment, Wu Changfeng stepped out of the boat, his gaze fixed solemnly on the direction of the ship, and said:

"Brother Li, a boat has arrived. Let's stop drinking tea here for today."

After saying that, he took out a palm-sized, round black jade plate from his pocket and handed it to Li Nian.

Li Nian looked at the jade plate in front of her.

It was a palm-sized warm white jade plate, smooth and lustrous like solidified fat, with gold-threaded cloud patterns inlaid on the edge, and a silver-blue crystal core embedded in the center. Star trails flowed around it, and the eight directions were clearly distinguished.

Upon closer inspection, there are five bright spots on the plate, one white and four black, twinkling like starlight within the plate, as if they were born in the jade, which looks quite eerie.

Li Nian asked curiously:

"This is?"

"Brother Li, this is the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Unity Plate,' which I obtained during a treasure hunt."

Wu Changfeng said:

"This chart has one master chart and six child charts. The white dots represent yourself, and the black dots represent other people who also have this chart."

"Simply infuse your own energy into the plate and touch the other person's light spot; you can sense it even from tens of thousands of miles away."

"I have already given three sub-plates to three friends. I am giving this plate to Brother Li because we just had a very fruitful conversation."

"If Brother Li doesn't mind, you may accept it."

Li Nian took the jade plate and said:

"Thank you for your approval, Brother Wu. I, Li, will accept this plate."

Our strength is currently weak; it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Moreover.

Becoming friends with the person whose fate is sealed is like riding a wave of good fortune.

As they were talking, the Ruan family's large ship arrived. A graceful woman at the bow seemed to have noticed something, signaling the boatman to stop rowing and shouting in Li Nian's direction:

"Sixth Brother..."
