From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

but.

The methods by which extraordinary individuals treat diseases are also somewhat related to their supernatural abilities. Therefore, regardless of her personality, as long as she can cure diseases, she is a qualified doctor.

"Isn't that right?"

Duanmu Ying put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "I went abroad to study so that I wouldn't become an old-fashioned person like my family and my master!"

“You probably haven’t discussed this with your family,” Jiang Liu said, revealing the secret in one sentence.

"How do you know it?"

Duanmu Ying knew that Jiang Liu's cultivation was profound, and that he could see that she had been hiding behind the cabin door, which meant she had sneaked out.

That's truly amazing!

"Because old-fashioned people generally wouldn't let their children study in the West," Jiang Liu said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this...

Duanmu Ying's eyelids twitched, wondering if there was something wrong with her brain that she would ask such an obvious question.

"Are we in hell?"

The captain stepped out of the bridge with a bruise on his forehead, clearly from hitting the rudder due to the vibrations from the ship's landing earlier.

At this moment, looking at the boundless sea around him, and then looking up, he saw the sea eye several kilometers wide and the ocean hanging upside down above his head. He was so frightened that he fell to his feet on the deck, muttering to himself.

"It's not entirely wrong to define the Land of Return to Ruins as 'hell'."

Jiang Liu helped the captain up and advised, "Whether we can get out now depends on how far we can go—"

This space exists based on the energy flow. Although it is somewhat gloomy, it is different from the Ghost Realm of Lanruo. It is full of vitality. If one can cultivate here for many years, one will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just as Jiang Liu was scanning with his mental power, he sensed a pure mental force. Seeing that the other party was about to discover him, he quickly withdrew his mental power and transmitted his voice to Lu Jin: "Don't use your mental power to scan. There is a great evil here, which may be the Jiao Mu that Gu Qian and the others mentioned. Its mental power is definitely comparable to mine!"

It should be noted that since experiencing the Ghost Realm of Lanruo, Jiang Liu's spiritual power has greatly increased, and he has even mastered the "Forbidden Fruit of God - Modified". He uses Qi to connect the nerve nodes inside and outside his body to form a magic circuit, construct alchemical array patterns, and inject the unrefined spiritual power group he obtained in the Ghost Realm into it.

How strong must that Mermaid be?

Lu Jin was convinced and dared not use his mental power to scan the skill.

When everyone on board regained consciousness, four foreign passengers unfortunately bumped into sharp objects in the cabin and died.

The rest of the people were alive, but they all had some scratches or abrasions, and they looked flustered and dejected.

Although the view of the ocean hanging upside down above them was unique, how could they, trapped here, have the heart to appreciate it? They only hoped that the river could lead them out!

Although Jiang Liu had some understanding of the aura, he could not possibly lead them away directly. Moreover, because of the white light earlier, the Alexander had entered the Ruins of Return and fell a distance, crashing into the reefs or the shore of the Ruins of Return, breaking its hull and leaking oil, making it unable to sail any further.

The captain, first mate, and security chief had never experienced anything like this before, but at this moment they could only remain calm, ordering the sailors and crew to reassure the passengers and pleading with Jiang Liu to find a solution.

"The Ruins of Return is a kind of Qi formation. In other words, it is a kind of secret realm, like the story of Alice in Wonderland."

Jiang Liu made a comparison using language that the captain and first mate could understand.

"So, we're in the Wonderland of Alice in Wonderland right now?" The captain was incredulous, but he had no choice but to believe it.

"It may be hard to believe, but it's true. To leave this place, we must explore the heart of this sea."

After saying this, Jiang Liu looked towards the center of the Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness.

The sea level within the Ruins of Guixu is dropping at an extremely slow rate, revealing bronze stone pillars and statues. In the center, there is a black island or mountain that is vaguely visible. Due to the surrounding water vapor and the possibility that a powerful spirit, the Mermaid, truly exists here, Jiang Liu dares not casually use his spiritual power to investigate, so he cannot see it clearly.

But to get out, you have to go to that island—

The energy also converges in that direction!

The captain didn't understand anything about the concept of "qi" (energy flow), but upon learning that the exit might be located near the central island of this "fairyland sea," he immediately ordered the lifeboats to be lowered and explained the situation to the others, saying that two boats of people would need to explore.

While the story of Alice in Wonderland is captivating, few passengers dare to volunteer when danger is mentioned.

Only Jonathan stepped forward.

As a future capitalist eager to get rich overnight through gold panning, he has an adventurous desire that ordinary people do not have. In particular, this Guixu is like a legendary "fairyland". As long as you are bold, you may be able to obtain a lot of pearls!

He was certain that if pearls could be found in this special underwater space and auctioned off, any one of them would be priceless!

therefore.

He was more than willing to take on the task!

The remaining participants, besides Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, the captain, the security captain, and two sailors, consisted of Gu Qian and eight others.

As descendants of the Hentian clan, Gu Qian and others did not know the history of the Hentian Ancient Kingdom, but they passed down some poems and incantations by word of mouth, which might guide them.

Gu Qian and the others had an ancestral rule that they should not return to Guixu. Now that they had returned to Guixu, they naturally had to pay homage to their ancient ancestors in order to seek forgiveness.

What are the traditions of the Hentian clan?

Jiang Liu was unaware, but chose to respect it. Besides, even though he could sense the direction of the energy flow and had "guides" around him... Although these eight guides didn't know much about this "hometown," they could still make a general comparison based on the fragments of songs and ballads, thus finding a way out.

"By the way, Miss Duanmu, what are you doing here?" After the lifeboat set sail and moved a distance away from the Alexander, Jiang Liu asked Duanmu Ying why she had come along.

"This is 'Alice in Wonderland'! How can I miss it?"

Duanmu Ying said it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "Besides, my family's ancestral methods are the best at treating diseases. If a poisonous sea snake suddenly jumps out of this place, I might be able to save your life."

"Is that so? Since ancient times, even the most skilled doctors haven't been able to guarantee a 100% cure rate for snake bites, especially when it comes to land snakes. Sea snake venom... I doubt many doctors on the mainland understand its effects," Jiang Liu said with a chuckle.

# Chapter 482 Mary's Slave

"Hmph! Don't underestimate me!"

Duanmu Ying was unconvinced.

In terms of spiritual practice, she also has a goal: to cure all diseases in the world.

Jiang Liu, however, did not believe that Duanmu Ying could cure the sea snake venom in her current state.

Sea snake venom is mostly neurotoxin. Once it enters the body, without the help of a precious elixir or a method to avoid death and prolong life, in this era, there is a high probability that there is no cure and one can only wait to die.

Unless Duanmu Ying has mastered the Dual-Hand Technique and understands the principle of preserving both life and health, it would be impossible for her to target the snake venom by stabilizing her own life.

And speaking of sea snakes—

As the lifeboat moved forward, a crimson glow spread across the sea ahead.

The dragon king, whose tendons had been pulled out by the iron rod of the river and whose spine was broken, was being frantically devoured by a group of sharks, who were tearing off chunks of flesh.

It's lamentable:

At the eye of Guixu, nearly a hundred miles away, a sudden surge of sea winds and clouds arose, and dragons emerged from the sea, their waves crashing. Fortunately, the traveler used his divine power, and the terrifying waves disappeared only at this point.

Now, the corpse of the Sea Dragon King has also entered the Ruins of Return, becoming food for sharks in this sea within a sea.

Upon seeing this, the river pulsed in all directions, and the man reached out and scooped up the corpse of the Sea Dragon King. However, he did not see the bulge under his neck, nor was his throat broken. He knew that this Sea Dragon King was different from the snake on Ping Mountain and had not cultivated a "Dragon Pearl".

Although the Xuanjiao serpent lived deep in the mountains, those mountains were the places where emperors of past dynasties refined lead and mercury. Although the creatures in the mountains who obtained Qi had some problems understanding alchemy, they understood the importance of opening up the Ren and Du meridians. However, this giant sea serpent that obtained Qi was far removed from civilization, did not understand cultivation, and only focused on increasing its size.

The cultivation methods of the ancient Hentian clan—

This can be seen from Gu Qian and other dragon otter people. Their skills are all based on the Transparent Sea Array Pattern, and they do not pay attention to internal cultivation of life force.

Therefore, although the Sea Dragon King was far stronger than the three evils of Bottle Mountain, he was far inferior to them in the art of Qi cultivation, and could not even be considered a beginner.

Therefore, after some thought, he peeled off the black dragon scales from its body one by one, cut off the pair of dragon horns, and put them into his storage ring before throwing the Sea Dragon King's corpse far away, thus diverting the sharks that were fighting for food in the seabed.

The fact that the deep-sea sharks have gone far away also saves them a lot of trouble.

"Besides that big stick, do you have any other magical artifacts?" Duanmu Ying then noticed the storage ring on Jiang Liu's left index finger, blinked, and exclaimed in surprise.

It should be noted that it takes a lot of effort for an ordinary weapon refiner to refine a single magical artifact, yet Jiang Liu, at such a young age, possesses two, which is truly remarkable.

"How should I put it? Not a single one was entirely made by me."

Jiang Liu's words are true.

The storage ring was given to me by Zhao Yingkong. It was produced by the Main God Space and could be used without needing to be crafted by myself.

The iron rod was originally the nine-ringed staff of the monk Xuanzang. The staff shaft was obtained by Jiang Liu, and later incorporated the golden branch of the divine tree. It was further refined nine times by the ghost realm and Jiang Liu, which resulted in the golden hoop pattern with coiled dragon patterns, lotus base, and openwork relief of furnace fire.

But Duanmu Ying didn't believe it, thinking Jiang Liu was just being modest, and tried to negotiate with him, saying, "Could you give me some of the Sea Dragon King's scales?"

“Sure, one silver dollar each.” Jiang Liu held out his hand.

"Emm—just like the rumors, he's obsessed with money." Duanmu Ying snorted coldly, naturally there was no way she would give him any money.

Furthermore,

She had left all her luggage on the ship, so where would she get any money? Not to mention that she had exchanged all her money for foreign currency before going abroad, and hadn't brought any silver dollars with her!

Jiang Liu was just teasing Duanmu Ying, who was still a young girl.

As the lifeboat drew closer to the island, more and more bronze pillars and figures appeared along the way, creating a solemn atmosphere that seemed to have stood for thousands of years.

However, as the water level gradually recedes, some ships that had mysteriously disappeared while passing through the South China Sea in the past have begun to reappear.

"How about we explore these shipwrecks?" Jonathan suggested, knowing that there were many treasures inside.

Ordinary silk, wood carvings, and ironware may be corroded by seawater and become worthless junk, but the precious metals in them, especially gold and silver, can resist the erosion of seawater and even remain intact for thousands of years.

“What we need right now is to find a way out. Even if you find gold, it will be useless if you can’t take it out,” Jiang Liu sneered. “Even if you find an exit, you’ll still need to find a ship. Otherwise, the vast ocean is much more likely to make you a fish’s belly than to take the gold out and live a carefree life.”

However, these words did not deter Jonathan's desire to explore the ship. He continued to talk about it, which even piqued the interest of the Alexander's security captain and the two sailors.

The wages of avarice is death.

However, under the captain's firm stance, the four had no choice but to abandon their search for the possible treasures inside the shipwreck and continue onward.

As the shipwrecks that were revealed one by one receded into the distance, Jonathan kept sighing, as if he had missed out on a huge treasure trove.

When Jonathan saw a ship with its bow upturned and its stern crashed into the cabin of an old wooden boat and sinking, he couldn't sit still and exclaimed, "That's the Mary Shannu!?"

"what?"

Jiang Liu was unaware of the foreign shipwrecks.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying were also completely dumbfounded.

But the captain, the old security captain, and the two sailors stared wide-eyed at the sunken ship, their eyes filled with awe and longing.

"Captain, could you explain the origin of the Mary Senu?" Lu Jin couldn't resist asking the captain of the Alexander.

"The Mary Senno was a slave ship that transported black slaves. Two hundred years ago, black slaves were very cheap; it is said that you could buy a black slave for thirteen iron blocks..."
