Chapter 163 The client is a mermaid? !
Early the next morning, everyone escorted a group of merchants out of the city.
Lin Fuping sat in the carriage pulled by the spirit horse, lifted the curtain and looked at the caravan outside.
There were hundreds of carriages, each with its own emblem hung on it, depending on the merchant they belonged to.
"What? You haven't seen these?"
Yun Qingqing's voice came from behind. Lin Fuping did not turn back, but continued to look at the caravan.
Hundreds of vehicles were loaded with boxes made of mithril. Lin Fuping had also seen the boxes, which were full of storage bags.
"Yeah, I really haven't seen it. I thought it was a spirit boat, which is fast and safe."
Yun Qingqing smiled
"So there's something you don't know."
Along the way, Lin Fuping did not behave like a 14-year-old child at all. Her knowledge and carefulness made her think she was an experienced old man.
Lin Fuping kept what he saw in mind, lowered the curtain, and looked at Yun Qingqing.
"After all, no one knows everything. Master asked me to travel around. This is also to make me stop being complacent. So, Sister Qingqing, do you know all this?"
"Of course. The Yun family is close to the Rock Ape Mountains and is also engaged in the business of reselling spirit beast cores and materials. So I have some understanding of these merchants."
"Appreciate further details"
"Fu Ping, do you know how many spirit stones are needed to use the spirit boat?"
Lin Fuping didn’t know. After all, it wasn’t her who controlled the spirit boat every time she went out.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yun Qingqing continued:
“A three-meter-long, third-level spirit boat needs ten high-quality spirit stones to travel a thousand miles.
This kind of spiritual horse that pulls a cart can travel a thousand miles only by consuming some first-level spiritual herbs and costing only a few low-grade spiritual stones, and its speed is only half slower than a third-level spiritual boat.
If they were to use spirit boats for transportation, the cost would be unaffordable for these merchants. After all, these goods would require at least a hundred spirit boats, and the distance from here to the South China Sea is millions of miles.
Duckweed, using spirit horses to travel is the main way for low-level cultivators in the cultivation world."
"Been taught a lesson"
After listening to this, Lin Fuping understood why the Sword Sect required its disciples to go out and gain experience after a breakthrough.
This is because we don’t want the disciples to become divorced from reality!
As for why Lin Fuping only found out now, it was because she upgraded too quickly.
After he achieved the Golden Elixir, he went to the Land of Absolute Spirits. After coming out, he went to Zhongzhou and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
He has never actually come into contact with the lower levels of the cultivation world, and even when he rarely takes on a mission, the rewards are higher than what other people usually get for taking on missions.
After seeing that Lin Fuping understood, Yun Qingqing raised her own questions.
"But it's still a little weird!"
Yun Qingqing drew aside the curtain and looked at the caravan.
"Oh, what do you think is strange?"
Lin Fuping wanted to hear Yun Qingqing's discovery.
"These caravans can't afford it, or their goods are not worth them spending tens of millions of spirit stones to hire guards. They even hired Senior Cang Yuan, who is a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage."
"Oh, that's because our clients are not these caravans!"
"how you said that?"
Yun Qingqing lowered the curtain and looked at Lin Fuping. Now it was Lin Fuping's turn to answer her questions.
"The Lord of Cangyuan City is not in the team."
A thousand meters in the sky, a blue spiritual boat was floating. But no one in the team below noticed it, including Lin Fuping.
"Great Elder, this trip has a total of five Spiritualization cultivators, twenty-one Nascent Soul cultivators, and one Void Refining cultivator. It should meet your requirements."
Cang Yuan was drinking tea, and opposite him were three black-robed men wearing black masks.
"Well, let's not talk about Nascent Soul for now, but the Spiritualization only meets our minimum requirements."
"Great Elder, please forgive me. After all, Nanyuan City needs people to guard it, and the caravan below also needs people to escort it. This is the limit of the manpower I can spare."
"Are those guys hiding in Nanyuan City unwilling to take action?"
"Alas, without revealing your identities, Great Elder, they refused to agree as soon as they heard that we were going to Cangjiaoyuan."
When the black-robed leader was about to say something, he was stopped by the people behind him.
"Forget it, big brother. We just need them to delay some time. It doesn't matter if there are more or fewer people. The most important thing is that the trip must be kept secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
"Ugh!"
The leading black-robed man slammed the table, which shattered instantly. Cang Yuan picked up the teacup and drank it calmly.
"It's really a misfortune for the clan. It's bad luck!"
Cang Yuan didn't say anything. After all, he was their second choice. If his father hadn't had an accident, this mission wouldn't have been his.
"Lord Cang, I'm sure you know what we are going to do this time. I want you to hold them back for at least an hour. Can you do it?"
"The younger generation will definitely do their best!"
Cang Yuan didn't dare to make a guarantee. As someone who had faced the sirens directly, she knew very well how powerful they were.
"Well, third brother, take it out!"
The other man in black robe, who had not spoken a word, took out a crystal box from his storage ring.
He looked at the broken table and handed the crystal box directly to Cang Yuan.
Cang Yuan put the cup into the storage ring and opened the box, revealing dozens of aqua blue beads.
"This is our advance payment. If it succeeds, everything else will be easy. Even the Heart of the Sea is not impossible."
Cang Yuan put away the box and bowed to him:
"Then wish us a smooth journey."
A group of people were rushing on the road, traveling day and night for several days without any time to stop and rest, which made many people complain.
"Why are you in such a hurry? These spirit horses can't hold on any longer."
Many merchants protested
"Don't worry, everyone. The Demon Gorge is ahead. Once we pass it, we can rest. The situation is special now, so I hope you can forgive me."
Lu Yuan stepped forward to appease everyone, and the merchants decided to stop while they were ahead, after all, Nanyuan City gave them a 10% discount this time.
They complained like this, of course, not because they felt sorry for the spirit horse, but because they themselves could not bear it any longer.
After all, those who are sent by various families to do business and run errands do not have very high cultivation levels.
Now that they knew they would have to rest in less than half a day, they all shut up and continued on their way.
"It looks like our real customer is about to come out!"
"You mean they're in Monster Gorge?"
“I don’t think so.”
Lin Fuping sat upright in his original position, but his eyes were glancing upwards.
These days she always felt someone was spying on her, but when she let go of her consciousness, she found nothing. When she was relieved, that feeling came back.
This made her very nervous these days and she didn't get a good rest.
"Haha, it seems that this little guy has noticed something!"
The black-robed boss looked at Lin Fuping, who was sitting obediently, through the water mirror, his expression full of interest.
"Brother, aren't you worried that the poor old man will come and cause trouble for you?"
"You're looking for trouble with me because of him? Do you have the nerve to do that? He cheated me of so much sea essence in the past.
But his disciples are better than the other. This girl can be a Divine Envoy. She is still using the price of a Nascent Soul. If that poor old man knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die."
The second and third brothers on the side were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The grudges between their eldest brother and the leader of the Sword Sect could not be explained in a short time.
However, they agreed with what their eldest brother said, that each of his disciples was better than the other.
Whether it was Bai Banxia back then or the little girl now, each one has a purer soul than the other.
Just after passing the Demon Gorge, night fell, and the caravan also welcomed its first rest time since leaving Nanyuan City.
Yun Qingqing and others received the message from Cang Yuan.
Those who passed the assessment and chose to go to Cangjiaoyuan quietly left the team and ran away.
Also traveling with him were the five gods who had been hiding in the team except Lu Yuan.
When they arrived at the designated location, Cang Yuan was waiting for them on the spirit boat, with three men in black robes with their eyes closed behind him.
Everyone got on the boat one after another, and when Yun Qingqing pulled Lin Fuping on board, one of the men in black robes turned his back to everyone, opened one eye and blinked at her.
Blue...
Mermaid!?
Yun Qingqing paused and wanted to run away immediately.
Lin Fuping squeezed her hand and said
"Don't panic, it's okay."
Then he smiled at the man in black robe.
