Ji Yuan slowly withdrew his hand, held the brush horizontally in the air, and stared quietly at the wolf-hair brush he had made. The green light on the brush tip gradually faded, and the bamboo on the brush body, which was originally withered and yellow, now became extremely green.
After a while, the light on the wolf-hair brush gradually faded and slowly returned to being an ordinary pen.
Ji Yuan was extremely satisfied. He turned the pen like he did in his previous life. The remaining ink on the tip of the pen drew a faint line of ink in the air, and then he put the pen back in his hand.
"Not bad, at least my efforts were not in vain."
Ji Yuan spoke with a smile on his face, and he was in a very good mood.
The dragon girl next to him had already come back to her senses and was looking at the pen in Ji Yuan's hand with curiosity. She knew that this pen was definitely not a magic weapon, but it was definitely extraordinary.
"Uncle Ji, what is that change? Did you make it?"
The cause of the problem is far away.
"How could I have such a skill? This is a sign of heaven and earth at the turn of the old year. It appears around midnight on the first day of every year. Not only is it difficult for ordinary people to see it, even those with profound Taoist practice may not be able to see it. It is a sign of the transformation of the vitality of all things in heaven and earth."
Having said that, Ji Yuan looked at the Dragon Girl.
"Did you see anything just now?"
"Thanks to Uncle Ji, I just saw the clear and turbid air clearly separated, as if the curtain of heaven and earth was opened. My state of mind seemed to have been baptized, and I have a better understanding of the way of transformation."
Although the Dragon Girl is the daughter of a true dragon, the old dragon is obviously not very good at education. In other words, when it comes to controlling some mysterious realms and states of mind, she is not as orthodox as the immortals. The Dragon Girl has not had many special enlightenment experiences with her father before.
But with Ji Yuan as her elder, those few opportunities were crucial, laying the foundation for the key elements for future transformation into a dragon. So too, the dragon girl respected Ji Yuan and trusted him very much.
"Hua La La..."
There was a sound of waves shaking in the sea beneath their feet. Both Longnu and Ji Yuan felt a shake under their feet. The Giant Whale General, who had been sailing against the wind and waves, stopped and returned to a stillness after floating in the sea for a while.
The Dragon Girl looked at the front of the giant whale's head, grinned, and said helplessly.
“Uncle Ji, he seemed to have forced himself to observe just now, but his Taoism was not good enough and he fainted.”
Ji Yuan smiled. This Giant Whale General was quite cute and he was happy to see some gains.
"Haha, let him sleep. He must be tired after swimming for so long. The ferry from the other realm is coming over soon. Do you want to go up and take a look?"
The Dragon Girl had no intention of going up to take a look, but when she heard Ji Yuan say that, she knew that he was probably curious about the flying boat. Since her elder had such an idea, she, as a junior, also said the word "want".
The boundary flying boat over there slowly flew over from one side, and almost everyone on the flying boat was looking in the direction of the giant whale. Everyone on board knew that there was a giant whale carrying a master across the sea.
On one side of the upper deck of the flying boat, several young people, led by their elders, were also looking at the giant whale that was getting closer and closer.
"This whale looks so big, almost like a building."
"Uncle Master, you said the woman on the whale's back was a dragon. What about the other one? Is she also a dragon?"
The person being asked was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a long beard, white hair, and a small crown on his head. He stared at the giant whale in the distance and answered with emotion.
"The other one should not be a dragon or a dragon. He must be a high-level immortal cultivator. He just wrote in the air at the right time, when the old year was replaced by the new year. Plus the hazy scene we saw, this is definitely not a coincidence. It must be a great method!"
"What is this profound method, Master?"
The old man frowned and glared at his young apprentice.
"If I knew, I would have gone to practice with you! By the way, you must be respectful when you are close to me, and don't act rashly. Do you understand?"
"Uncle, I understand!" "Master, I understand!"
Several people answered together, their eyes still looking at the giant whale in the distance.
"I sit at my desk, write down my thoughts, and swim freely in the vast East China Sea. It feels so artistic. When can I do the same?"
"Don't be silly, this is not a question of artistic conception. Without that level of Taoism, how could there be a giant whale to serve as a dragon girl?"
Hearing this, the old man turned around and smiled at his disciples and nephews.
"That makes sense, so you should not slack off in your practice, and don't really think that you are above the mortal world. There are countless masters in the world, and they may not look at us any differently than we look at mortals. Moreover, the evil demons in the world are even more ever-changing. If you don't know the way, it's hard to talk about freedom."
"I'm grateful for your teachings!" "So am I!"
"Thank you for your teachings, Master!"
Several young immortal cultivators hurriedly bowed and expressed their gratitude.
The speed of the flying boat was also decreasing. When they saw the giant whale stop, the people on the flying boat naturally thought that the master over there took the initiative to do so, perhaps intending to contact this side, so the flying boat also descended and reduced its speed.
Finally, the flying boat arrived less than ten feet away from the giant whale, and most people on the boat bowed in the direction of the giant whale to show their respect.
Ji Yuan and the Dragon Girl also politely bowed in that direction, and then the two of them took off into the air and flew towards the flying boat.
"They're coming! They're coming!"
"That woman is a dragon, right?" "Shh, keep your voice down, are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Where will it land? Bow or stern?"
Ji Yuan was still in the air, and he could hear sounds similar to those of people whispering to each other. He pretended not to hear them and landed on the bow of the ship with the Dragon Girl.
There were two immortal cultivators who were dressed similarly and were waiting there. When they saw Ji Yuan and the Dragon Girl land on the deck, the two cultivators immediately bowed to them.
"The Nine Peaks Mountain Pool Returns." "The Nine Peaks Mountain Forest Gradually."
"Meet you two!"
After Chi Gui finished his ceremony, he looked up and asked.
"I wonder where the two immortals are from. Do you have any important business to come to the flying boat in the realm under the jurisdiction of Jiufeng Mountain?"
The dragon girl saluted first.
"My name is Ying Ruoli, and this is my uncle Ji. There's nothing important to do, I just happened to meet you and wanted to take a look at this realm flying boat."
Chi Gui looked at Ji Yuan, who nodded.
"That's true. To be honest, since I left the hospital, I have basically never seen the appearance of the boundary ferry."
never seen it
Chi Gui and Lin Jian looked at each other subconsciously. Has such a master never seen a thing that can ferry people across boundaries
But he would not express this doubt to anyone’s face. Maybe he just had never seen such a ship, Chi Gui said with a little enthusiasm.
"In that case, how about I show you around?"
"That's great. Thank you very much!"
Ji Yuan said a polite word and started walking with Chi Gui and Lin Jian. However, before that, he bowed to the people around him who were bowing from far and near as a return gesture.
Only after standing on the ship can one feel its hugeness more intuitively. It is larger than the 10,000-ton ship that Ji Yuan had seen in his previous life, and its structure is also completely different.
In addition to being driven by a formation, it also has sails on it, making the deck appear extremely spacious, and there is even a small market.
Chi Gui said that he was taking Ji Yuan and Long Nu on a tour, but he was not a tour guide. He basically just walked with them. Except for occasionally saying "this is the market" or "the guest rooms are downstairs", he mostly talked about things in their Jiufeng Mountain.
Unfortunately, Ji Yuan had never heard of Jiufeng Mountain, nor did he have any old ties with anyone from that immortal sect, but the impression remained.
There were too many people on the upper deck watching Ji Yuan and Long Nu from afar. In order to prevent the two from making plans, Chi Gui and Lin Jian first took them to the cabin for a tour.
The ship is divided into many floors, and the interior does not look like a series of cabins, but rather a series of antique buildings and even gardens. The basic necessities are also good, from guest rooms to halls to various houses needed for living.
Chi Gui took Ji Yuan for a stroll in the lower corridor. Some of the residences and retreats had formations. Many places even had different regional environments, with vegetation of different climates planted, forming courtyards of different styles. The formations were used to draw in the light from the sky, so there was no sense of darkness at all, which was truly magical.
Walking around the ship, Ji Yuan's impression of this flying boat was refreshed. It was not as crowded and backward as he had imagined. It was no exaggeration to say that it was better than some large cruise ships in his previous life. Some of its magical formations had reached many special environments and means.
"Mr. Ji, this way please!"
After walking around, Chi Gui led Ji Yuan out of the cabin door at the stern and went to the large deck. Looking towards the bow, in the middle was the market with many buildings.
When he got outside, Ji Yuan looked at the market in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank goodness I came to see it today. It really opened my eyes. The Realm Flying Boat is indeed a treasure boat! Jiufeng Mountain can refine such a spiritual object by its own strength. I think it is extraordinary!"
Hearing these words from a person like Ji Yuan, Chi Gui and Lin Jian felt somewhat proud, even though they were immortal cultivators.
"Mr. Ji, you are too kind. Most of the things that are used for ferrying across the boundary need to cross the continental ocean. The journey is long and dangerous, so we naturally need to be well prepared. Let's go and visit the shops over there. In addition to those run by mortals, there are also those run by cultivators."
"People who practice cultivation also do business?"
Ji Yuan was a little surprised. In his impression, monks always focused on cultivation and rarely did unnecessary things.
Chi Gui, already accustomed to Ji Yuan's questions about such "basic" things, answered.
"Sir, you may not know that immortal cultivators naturally seldom engage in business, but not everyone can be self-sufficient. Some people will put out their things to exchange for things they need. For example, the talismans of high-level talisman refiners are very popular. They can be used to exchange for some things, or for a favor or a favor. It's all good."
"I see!"
Ji Yuan nodded and went to the market with Chi Gui.
Of course, there is no official currency in the world of immortal cultivation, and no one has the ability to issue currency. Most of the currency is exchanged for goods, and the value is determined by the amount of spiritual energy and magic contained in the goods. Many of them are just for personal use.
Of course, although there is no currency, there are some hard currency items that most immortal cultivators like, such as immortal herbs and elixirs, earth spirits, water spirits and other five elements of yin and yang spirits, some magical talismans that can also be counted, as well as treasures such as the Deep Sea Spirit Gathering Pearls. Well, these things are everywhere where the old dragon sleeps, and each one is huge.
Generally speaking, the spirits of the five elements or the yin and yang spirit objects can barely be considered the most common things. Anyone who needs them can get some. They are mostly carried by jade or other objects. A finger-sized condensation weighs one catty, so these spirit objects are also described by catties.
What’s interesting is that, for such a realm flying boat, except for those who practice cultivation, they need to pay certain spiritual objects to get on board. However, ordinary people or those who have just embarked on the door of cultivation can be exempted from any fees if they have the opportunity to find the place where the flying boat docks and have the courage to get on board.
In Ji Yuan’s opinion, it feels like “children under 1.2 meters tall get free tickets”.
Ji Yuan had almost no idea about these basic knowledge before, and no one had ever told him about them. It was Chi Gui who explained them as they walked, and even the Dragon Girl couldn't help but occasionally interrupt to explain a few words.
Although Ji Yuan's demeanor was calm, his curious reaction was naturally noticed by Chi Gui and others. Chi Gui and Lin Jian were puzzled, while Long Nu was thinking about something.
Ying Ruoli remembered that her father once mentioned to her that her Uncle Ji sometimes did not have enough understanding of some basic things in the cultivation world and seemed very curious.
At that time, the Dragon Girl asked, "Uncle Ji, with such a high level of cultivation, don't you know these things?"
My father answered yes at that time.
"After being away from the world for a long time, some changes naturally need to be re-understood."
The Dragon Girl also asked at that time, "How long is this 'long'?"
I only saw my father's smile that seemed quite unfathomable. He just answered, "Maybe a very long time." After that, he didn't say anything more.
Thinking about it now, it is quite intriguing.
