799 Eyes Adorned With Flowers, Heart Set on the Stars (4)

Gu Muqing nodded her head vigorously with determination in her eyes.

Xu Qing, who had left the sect, took out the voice transmission jade slip and transmitted his voice to Zhang San.

Zhang San had been waiting for a long time. The instant Xu Qing transmitted his voice, a message instantly returned.

...

“Haha, Xu Qing, I’m at the port.”

A smile appeared on Xu Qing’s face. He put away the jade slip and headed straight for the port. Very soon, he saw Zhang San there.

It had been two years since they last met, and Zhang San’s cultivation had already reached three life fires. He had also gained a bit of weight compared to before, clearly living a comfortable life. He even had a few junior female disciples from the Second Peak by his side.

It was unknown how he handled it, but their relationship seemed to be very harmonious.

Seeing that Xu Qing had arrived, Zhang San was in high spirits. He went up and hugged Xu Qing tightly, laughing loudly.

The smugness in his heart could no longer be described with words. During this period of time, Zhang San was smiling even when he was meditating. He felt that his investment back then had increased countless times.

Who would have thought that a member of a small Homicide Department in the Nanhuang Continent would actually become a big shot in Fenghai County, the future county governor?

He could even envision, from this moment onward, that his influence in Fenghai County would be as vast as the sky.

Xu Qing could sense Zhang San’s excitement and also began to smile. Returning to the Seven Blood Eyes, seeing an old friend, made him feel at ease. The exhaustion brought about by the experiences in the county capital before had also dissipated considerably.

He took out his magic warship and handed it to Zhang San.

“Senior Brother Zhang, I’ll have to trouble you to help me upgrade the magic warship.”

After experiencing the first heavenly tribulation, Xu Qing’s cultivation had officially advanced to the Nascent Soul realm. At this point, the magic warship was somewhat inadequate for him. What he needed was a spirit liner that was more powerful, faster, and superior in all aspects.

Boat, ship, warship, liner.

These were the four levels of the Seven Blood Eyes’ magic boat system. Above the liner were great wings like Old Master Seventh’s.

However, Old Master Seventh’s great wing was of a much higher level.

“No problem. Although my cultivation level isn’t high enough, we have money now. I’ll invite a few elders of the Sixth Peak over and direct them into refining a peerless liner for you!”

“As for your magic warship, it’s meaningless now. It’s better to build a new one than upgrade it.”

Zhang San didn’t accept the magic warship and patted his chest.

Xu Qing kept the magic warship and thanked him with a smile.

“By the way, Xu Qing, the dividends from the port over these years have been with Ding Xue. She’s been keeping them for you. That girl, every time she never trusts me. Every single spirit coin has to be checked, and if even one is missing, she gets all anxious with me.”

As Zhang San spoke, he shook his head and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Xu Qing. As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Qing bade farewell.

Zhang San focused on the construction of the spirit liner. Even when night fell, he continued to make the blueprint.

Under the night sky, Xu Qing walked in the port area and looked at the waves on the surface of the sea. The sound of waves rang out in his ears and the scenes of his life in the Seven Blood Eyes appeared in his mind.

After a long time, he put down the magic warship at his berth and walked up.

The seawater undulated and the magic warship swayed slightly. This familiar feeling made Xu Qing feel unprecedented peace.

“Brother Xu Qing, I sense that you seem to have the intention of parting ways. Are you planning to go to the Imperial Academy?” Ling’er emerged from Xu Qing’s collar, asking curiously.

Xu Qing shook his head.

His master’s words made him understand that with his current cultivation, there was not much meaning in going to the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Academy.

“I’m thinking about Eldest Senior Brother. I wonder how his investigation into the Moon Worship Region is going,” Xu Qing said softly.

“The Moon Worship Region? Brother Xu Qing, in any case, Ling’er will follow you wherever you go. After I transform, I’ll be quite powerful, you know.”

Ling’er said innocently.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing chuckled. Ling’er’s presence added a bit of companionship to his usually solitary days.

Just as he was about to speak, his divine consciousness sensed that someone from outside had arrived. Hence, he looked outside.

After more than ten breaths, Ding Xue’s melodious voice rang out from outside the magic warship.

“Brother Xu Qing, are you there?”
