Ferry!
Seeing the big ship, Chen Lin suddenly became excited.
But he soon discovered that the ship was in ruins. Except for the skeleton which was still intact, many parts were broken. After thinking about it, he did not fly over immediately, but hid the spirit boat under the water and hung it far away.
After following for two days, I finally saw a figure flying out from the boat, and it wasn't just one person.
These people patrolled the sea in different directions, and then began to hunt common edible things such as fish and shrimp in the sea.
Chen Lin immediately put away his spirit boat. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he simply cancelled his transformation technique and restored his original appearance, then went towards the nearest cultivator.
After getting closer, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. This was actually a Qi-cultivating cultivator!
There are Qi-cultivating monks here, and they also need to fish for a living. The level of this ferry ship doesn’t seem to be very high!
But no matter what, in this vast ocean, the power of the group is greater than that of the individual, so Chen Lin still went forward.
The Qigong cultivator was a young man in a white robe. He was very alert. Chen Lin was discovered as soon as he came out of the water. He thought it was some sea beast and directly controlled his flying sword to attack him.
But when he found out that it was not a demon beast, and his flying sword was easily caught, his expression changed immediately, and he asked in astonishment: "You, you are a cultivator?"
Chen Lin smiled faintly, threw the flying sword to the other party, and said, "Why, do I look like a sea beast?"
The young man in white robe caught the flying sword and looked at Chen Lin in surprise and doubt.
It was no wonder that he was suspicious. Since they entered the distant sea, apart from encountering a few scattered monks in the first month, they had not seen any human figures.
"I am a cultivator from Danding City. Which city are you from? Are there any Jindan seniors on board?"
Seeing the other party's appearance, Chen Lin could only take the initiative to ask about the situation and used some spells to hypnotize him.
Disturbed by the magic, the young man answered every question and he finally understood the situation.
This ferry actually belonged to Lanyu City. There was a Jindan cultivator in charge, and the team successfully broke through to the open sea. However, the Jindan cultivator left on his own after the breakout, and took away some close foundation-building cultivators.
The remaining people could only control the ferry on their own, but they were repeatedly attacked by sea beasts, resulting in heavy casualties.
There are only more than 200 people left on the ship now, including seven foundation-building cultivators, two in the middle stage, five in the early stage, and the rest are Qi-cultivating cultivators.
"Is this the case?"
Chen Lin shook his head. He originally thought that there was a Jindan expert on the boat, so he could curry favor with him and take advantage of the situation. But now it seems that the other party's strength is not that good.
But he still decided to join in, anyway it was better than fighting alone.
In addition, this ship belongs to Lanyu City. You can ask them about the direction of their breakout to determine your approximate current location.
The young man in white robe woke up in shock. He already knew that Chen Lin was a foundation-building cultivator. He didn't care about Chen Lin's spellcasting behavior just now. He hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "So you are the senior from Danding City. I am Du Cheng, the junior. Senior, would you like to come on board with me?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Chen Lin nodded, let the other party lead the way, and he followed closely behind.
Upon hearing that there was a lone Foundation Establishment cultivator scattered on the sea, the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators who were originally on the boat came out and looked at Chen Lin with scrutinizing eyes.
Chen Lin also observed the other party.
There were five men and two women. Two of them had stronger fluctuations in magic power. They should be the two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building. One was an old man with a hooked nose who didn't look like someone who would be easy to deal with. The other was a wealthy middle-aged man with a kind face.
"You are a cultivator from Danding City. Do you have any evidence?" The old man with the hooked nose spoke first, and then explained: "Fellow Daoist, please don't blame us for being suspicious. It's true that something unexpected happened when we accepted the scattered cultivators before, so we have to be careful."
"It should be so!" Chen Lin nodded with a smile, took out the alliance's identity token, activated it with his spiritual power, and handed it to the other party.
The old man took it and looked at it, then handed it to the others to check again, then he said happily: "It is indeed the identity token of the alliance, this is great, with the joining of some fellow Taoists, our strength has increased a bit!"
After saying that, he returned the token to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin took it and said modestly: "Thank you all for accepting me. I am already at the end of my rope. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know what to do."
The two sides exchanged greetings, and then the old man introduced the situation on the ship to Chen Lin, which was basically the same as what the young man in white robe said.
The ship is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. It is very spacious. It looks like it can accommodate more than 2,000 people if they squeeze in. Now there are only more than 200 people, which is very spacious.
The upper floor is for foundation-building monks and some people close to them, while the lower two floors are used by Qi-cultivating monks.
The seven foundation-building monks take turns on duty and will not take action unless they encounter a powerful sea beast. Usually, all miscellaneous matters are handled by the Qi-cultivating monks.
After only one day, Chen Lin discovered that the management of the ship was in chaos. The people living on the top floor controlled absolute power and sufficient resources. Because resources were expensive and scarce on the two lower floors, the monks were engaged in intrigue and squeezing each other out from time to time.
Especially the lowest-level cultivators, who are all rootless and have relatively low cultivation. Basically, all kinds of exploration missions, catching marine life for food, etc. will fall on them, and they are even forced to do things they don’t want to do.
However, he was too lazy to care about such things. He just wanted to determine the location and then go to find Island No. 9 that Luo Qinglan mentioned. He didn't think that such a team could cross the Wuding Sea and reach the other side of the sea.
"Fellow Daoist Chen was born in Danding City. Is he good at refining elixirs?"
Chen Lin had just settled down when someone came to visit him.
The visitor was a female cultivator among the five in the early stage of foundation building, named Liang Shuozhen. She was quite good-looking, but a little older.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, you are joking. I just broke out of Danding City. I am not from the Danding Sect, so I am not very good at alchemy."
It's better to show off your skills as little as possible, otherwise troubles will keep coming. When the time comes, everyone will ask him to make pills, and he won't have that much time.
Liang Shuozhen was a little disappointed when he heard this, and after chatting for a few more minutes, he said goodbye and left.
After that, several other foundation-building cultivators also came to visit, which made Chen Lin realize that these people were not so harmonious. They often criticized each other and showed their intention to win him over.
This left him speechless.
In such a dangerous situation, where they don't even know if they can make it to shore alive, they are still in the mood to form gangs. I don't know what's going on in these people's heads.
Do you still want to drift on the sea and act arrogantly in this broken ship
This made him even more unwilling to stay on the ship, so he began to inquire about information about its location. However, after some investigation, he found that the ship was also lost and did not know where it was.
However, they did exchange two nautical charts, and after comparing them with each other, they were able to roughly analyze that they were still in the northern waters of Tianyuan Continent, and the general direction was correct.
This cheered up Chen Lin.
As long as the direction is right, with these nautical charts as reference, as long as you find one of the locations, there is hope of finding Island No. 9.
Next, he went to the two floors below when he had nothing to do and asked the Qi-cultivating monks if there was a sea chart. One of them actually found one for him. Although it was very simple, it could be connected with the sea chart that Luo Qinglan gave him.
In addition, he also found a familiar face among the lowest-level monks, which surprised him very much!
