As the man boarded the bow deck, Xiao Chen immediately sensed countless powerful auras and saw hundreds of warriors sitting on the floor on the deck.
Half of them have the cultivation level of peak martial masters, and the rest are all masters of martial king level. Half of them are middle-grade martial kings, and there are a few high-grade martial kings.
Xiao Chen scanned it carefully with his spiritual consciousness and found that there was another master who was a high-grade peak martial arts king, hiding his aura and hiding quietly among the crowd.
It seems like what the guy said is true. Everyone knows the secret of the treasure map, and anyone with some ability wants to try their luck.
"Another swordsman who follows Xiao Chen. Why do so many people like to imitate him these days? They don't really think that wearing a white robe and a blue strip of cloth on their head means they are a master."
When several warriors saw Xiao Chen boarding the ship, they smiled sarcastically.
Xiao Chen looked up and saw that many swordsmen on the ship were indeed dressed like him, with long swords on their waists in white robes and a blue cloth tied on their heads.
He could only selectively ignore the words of those people. Xiao Chen was more accepting of such a situation, at least he didn't have to worry about exposing his identity.
He smiled softly, led the guy to a room inside the cabin, and said, "Prepare a good double room for me, preferably a larger one."
"Young hero, this is your first time borrowing a boat. This is not a passenger ship but a merchant ship, so..."
Before the guy finished speaking, Xiao Chen threw him a thousand lower-level spiritual stones, took out another hundred meters of lower-level spiritual stones, and said: "The big one is for your head, and the small one is for you. "
The waiter immediately started laughing and said: "Young hero really knows the rules. With the spirit stone, everything is easy to do. Isn't it a double room? I'll give you the biggest one in the whole room. Just wait a moment."
Xiao Chen knew best whether there were vacancies on the merchant ship, but in addition to doing good work on the merchant ship, he could only use spiritual stones to open up relationships.
The lower-level spiritual stones are of little use to Xiao Chen's cultivation. They can only be used to restore spiritual energy on a daily basis. It would not be a pity to spend them.
After a while, the waiter came over again, took Xiao Chen to the second floor of the cabin, and found him a large guest room.
"Young hero, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'm always waiting for you." This guy already regarded Xiao Chen as the young master of a big family, and he wanted to get more benefits.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, knowing what the other party was thinking. He handed over ten lower-level spirit stones and said, "You go down first. I'll call you if you have something to do. Don't disturb me without my instructions."
The man took the spirit stone and left happily.
After closing the wooden door, Xiao Chen immediately released Xiao Bai, who had been holding it in for a long time. The guest room was large enough for two people to live in it.
After Xiao Chen told Xiao Bai not to run around, he took out an intermediate spirit stone, crossed his legs and entered a cultivation state, ready to attack the high-grade martial master at any time.
After the series of battles at Tiandao Pavilion, the purple vitality liquid in the cyclone in the dantian of Xiao Chen's body has always been restless, which is a prelude to an imminent breakthrough.
Coupled with these days of practice, the gap between Xiao Chen and the top-grade Martial King is constantly narrowing. As soon as time comes, he can become a top-grade Martial King very smoothly.
Those battles gave Xiao Chen a particularly clear understanding of his own strength.
His current total combat power should be between the middle-grade Peak Martial King and the high-grade Martial King. He can defeat the middle-grade Martial King and have the power to fight with the high-grade Martial King.
But he is definitely no match for a high-grade peak Martial King. When encountering a high-grade peak Martial King, it is best to retreat in advance.
As for the realm of Martial Lord, Xiao Chen can be said to be a truly rare opponent. Even if he is a core disciple of the Holy Land, Xiao Chen is confident of defeating him.
The port here belongs to the middle reaches of the Heilong River. It is still a long way from the seaport. Moreover, merchant ships in the inland river cannot sail at full speed, so the speed is really not very fast.
Xiao Chen didn't go out either. Apart from eating, he spent all his time practicing.
In the world under the mountain, spiritual energy is thin, and one intermediate spiritual stone is basically consumed in two days.
Xiao Chen had no shortage of intermediate spiritual stones. He exchanged more than 30,000 merit points for more than a thousand intermediate spiritual stones. Adding the spiritual stones he had obtained from selling demon cores earlier, there were more than nine thousand intermediate spiritual stones.
As long as it can increase the speed of cultivation, Hao won't feel bad about using it.
Two months later, the purple cyclone in Xiao Chen's body suddenly began to spin rapidly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the intermediate spiritual stone in his hand poured into his body as quickly as a river.
Tick tock!
The purple vitality liquid kept falling in the cyclone, and soon filled the interior of the cyclone.
Xiao Chen felt a swelling sensation in the pores, skin, flesh and bones of his body. After a moment, the cyclone exploded, and his Dantian was in chaos.
Streams of air spurted out from Xiao Chen's body, and the entire room suddenly surged, forming small whirlwinds.
An extremely smooth feeling spread throughout Xiao Chen's body, and the energy flowing in his meridians was richer and purer than before.
Breakthrough
With a thought, Xiao Chen looked into his dantian and saw that the purple cyclone was half as big as before. The purple liquid that could originally be filled was only half filled at this moment.
The breakthrough was successful. After more than four months, Xiao Chen finally advanced from the middle-grade Peak Martial Lord to the high-grade Martial Lord.
With a faint smile on his face, Xiao Chen ran the Purple Thunder Art, and the purple vitality immediately circulated in a small cycle along the nine main meridians.
Then a large circulation begins, running in the branch veins around the main vein. This advancement has opened up dozens of new branch veins, one of which is required for practicing the sixth level of Purple Thunder Art.
The more branches there are, the more energy will be needed to carry out the general circulation, and the time of the general circulation will become longer.
Half an hour later, the purple vitality finally followed, and all the meridians went through a big cycle. The vitality in the nine main meridians merged into a trickle and gathered in the purple cyclone.
After filling most of the cyclone, it slowly stopped. It only takes one big cycle to completely fill it.
However, Xiao Chen stopped running. When he opened his eyes, two purple rays of light flashed past, radiating with sharp edges.
"Brother Xiao Chen, you have become stronger again." Xiaobai said happily from the side.
Xiao Chen turned his palms and sucked all the stray purple air into his body. He stood up and said with a faint smile: "Well, I haven't been out for a month. I guess you are too tired to go out for a walk."
Xiaobai said happily: "Okay, I have seen what the Black Dragon River is like."
Passing through the corridor, the two of them came to the bow deck one after another. At this time, the morning sun was rising, and its faint brilliance left golden light and shadow on the river.
At dawn, most of the warriors on the deck were walking around the side of the ship, gathering in groups and chatting with each other.
He hadn't been out for more than a month. Feeling the river breeze blowing over him, Xiao Chen felt relaxed and his energy and energy suddenly improved a lot.
There were many merchant ships sailing on the wide river. In addition to the one Xiao Chen was riding, there were several larger merchant ships.
After driving for half a day, a huge tributary suddenly appeared on the river ahead. Many merchant ships turned around and sailed into the tributary.
Xiao Chen looked at the map and knew that this stream leads to the most chaotic place on the mainland, an ancient place.
The area of the ancient land is very huge, half the size of the Qin State. If you include some uninhabited lands, the area is almost the same as the Qin State.
In the center of the ancient land, it was the capital of the Tianwu Dynasty a long time ago. It was the most glorious city on the continent.
It's a pity that after the fall of the dynasty, the dragon veins that had been dormant for thousands of years by Emperor Tianwu fell apart and were divided into nine parts.
It has become an extremely dangerous place, so much so that the aura of the ancient land is extremely rich, but no empire or general is relocating here.
Xiao Chen retracted his thoughts. He had already arrived here, so the day to go to sea was not far away. Soon the merchant ship would completely leave Tianwu Continent and arrive at the offshore place.
"We are about to reach the Thunder Emperor Valley. After passing the Thunder Emperor Valley, we will completely leave the Tianwu Continent." A warrior suddenly said.
Another companion sighed and said: "Since the Thunder Emperor, there has never been a top strong person in the Great Qin Kingdom. It is really in decline. I wonder if anyone will recreate the glory of the Thunder Emperor today after a thousand years." ”
"The swordsman who appeared in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion not long ago may be able to regain the glory of the Thunder Emperor and defeat many geniuses from aristocratic families at once. He is the only one in the past hundred years."
"In today's era, there are many geniuses, and everything will turn to its extreme. The continent that has been silent for thousands of years will definitely reappear in a magnificent world."
"As far as Great Qin is concerned, the talents of the geniuses from the aristocratic families are not weak. There is also Leng Liusu who became a low-level Martial King at the age of seventeen, Chu Chaoyun who has not fully exposed his strength so far, and some people in the imperial capital who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round. A proud man in the military, he has no desire to do anything better than the times a thousand years ago."
"As for other masters in the country, there are even more. As far as I know, there are at least about a hundred people who are not weaker than Xiao Chen. This does not include the geniuses of Jin State."
"Of course the geniuses of the Jin country cannot be counted. They are completely different from ours. How can we compare them."
"Maybe we can meet these geniuses on Qingfeng Island this time. It is said that the treasure map of Devil's Prairie is also circulated in several other countries."
Someone on the bow of the ship brought up the subject of the Thunder Emperor, and the entire deck suddenly became lively. These well-informed warriors began to discuss the geniuses of various countries.
Xiao Chen became interested, listened attentively, and learned from their words.
Thousands of years ago, that is, the era of Thunder Emperor, all countries were full of geniuses and countless capable people. After the fall of the Tianwu Dynasty, the world of warriors reached its first peak.
All kinds of dazzling and talented warriors emerged like pearls one after another, and it was in such an era that the Thunder Emperor rose like a comet.
Sweeping through all the talents in the world, he finally became one of the few people standing at the top of the pyramid on the mainland.
After the death of the Thunder Emperor, that glorious era slowly came to an end, and the world of warriors began to slowly decline. There were very few top masters, and all kinds of geniuses were no longer as dazzling as before.
But now there seems to be some signs, as if a glorious era is slowly sprouting.
The morning sun had unknowingly climbed to the top of everyone's heads, and the sunlight became extremely bright. A majestic canyon in the distance appeared in the outline of the field of vision.
With a tacit understanding, everyone stopped talking and looked at the canyon in the distance with awe.
