Chapter 636: Preparations Before Sailing
Bei Feng was already starting to get envious. After all, he only managed to achieve such great cultivation speed after going through much pain.
But for gangster rabbit Gu Qi, chewing on carrot was enough to improve in cultivation.
Bei Feng shook his head; there really was no way for comparison.
On the other hand, strong Qi was rising at a fast speed near the valley.Some joyous howling could be heard as well.
Lu Wei and the rest had thought their lives would be just like this, attaining half-step Thousand Year King realm at most.
Yet, everyone managed to reach the Thousand Year King realm, far more than what they could imagine.
The population in San Chuan City reached only a few millions, so there was only two or three Thousand Year Kings.
Bei Feng watched everyone break through without saying much as he understood the joy they were feeling.
However, everyone’s blood Qi fusion was not that ideal, reaching only 70%. The sole exception was Lu Wei, who managed to attain almost 80% fusion.
However, it was still not 80%. Bei Feng could only sigh, knowing that it was only because the foundation of these people was not that good.It would be hard for them to improve blood Qi fusion even if he used precious herbs on them.
Bei Feng only brought the gang away from the place after strengthening their foundations for three days.
Time passed quickly, and half of a month passed in the blink of an eye.
This half of a month was spent rushing through the journey.
After all, there was still quite some distance from the Hundred Break Mountain Range to the Yellow Golden Sea.
What was unexpected was that the gangster rabbit Gu Qi managed to break through to Thousand Year King realm’s fourth layer.
Lu Bu was following close behind, having broken through to Thousand Year King realm’s second layer.
Lu Bing, on the other hand, was lagging slightly behind him, being at the first layer of the Thousand Year King realm.
Bei Feng did not stop cultivating during this half a month, and instead only worked harder.
His own skills were strong, but not smooth enough. Therefore, he had to brush up in order to break through to the Thousand Year King realm fourth layer.
Breaking through too fast would only increase the risk of having a weak foundation in future.
After these two weeks of settling down, Bei Feng managed to attain the peak of Thousand Year King realm fourth layer.
Or it could be said that Bei Feng could break through any moment.
In a room near the ship window, Bei Feng closed his eyes as electric currents floated in the space before his eyes.
It was the result of successful cultivation!
Bei Feng opened his eyes as he sensed the ship’s slowing down. Standing beside the window, he stared toward the horizon.
Have we reached Golden City?
One huge city stood in the close distance.
This city was humongous, with no end in sight and filled with luxurious skyscrapers.
It was the biggest city Bei Feng had seen in that part of the world.
It could be estimated that there were hundreds of millions of residents living in the city. Most were residents originally from the Tianmu Planet.
After many years passed, the city had become these people’s home.
The battleship slowly docked in a large open space below.
Waves could be spotted somewhere in the distance near the golden ocean.
Many cultivators had come with the intention of capturing the Immortal Spirit Fish. One large pack of seagulls was seen circling over the sea’s surface, looking for food.
Fishes would also jump out of the water every now and then. Seven to eight large fishing boats were also benefiting from it.
These large boats were made of wood, and looked pretty worn out. It was because all machines made of steel would melt in the golden sea.
Wanting to capture the fishes without hard work was almost impossible.
The Yellow Golden Sea had an abundance of seafood, with the Immortal Spirit Fish being only one of the many species. Residents of the city had to feed on species other than Immortal Spirit Fishes.
Bei Feng and the gang alighted from the battleship slowly as the sky was already dark. After they settled down in their accomodation, the guards went out to gather news.
“Family Head, we might have wasted the trip. It was hard to spot any Immortal Spirit Fish. I’m afraid…” Lu Bu said hesitantly, unable to complete his sentence, but Bei Feng had already figured what Lu Bu wanted to say.
“You are trying to say that we are wasting our efforts, right? If so, why are we here instead of staying in the Hundred Break Mountain Range to kill Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beasts,” Bei Feng said.
“The waters in Hundred Break Mountain Range are too deep, so we might offend a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy by accident and fail to escape the area. Whereas in Yellow Golden City, demonic beasts mainly live in the sea, so when running into one, we can always escape to the land,” Bei Feng said slowly as he analyzed the pros and cons.
A Thousand Year King realm demonic beast with outstanding blood circulation was worth no more than 20 high-grade spirit stones, and dead ones were worth even less.
As for ordinary Thousand Year King realm demonic beasts, their worth was even lower.
After all, Heaven Connecting Towers were increasing in numbers on Tianmu Planet as every tower contained a world. With so many Demonic Beast Kings, it was normal for their value to drop.
“Your subordinate understands.” Lu Bu nodded his head in realization.
“Family Head, we have heard that the Immortal Spirit Fish is rarely seen. During peak harvest, over 10,000 Immortal Spirit Fishes could be caught, while only 300 Immortal Spirit Fishes were caught during recent years. Moreover they were only caught in the deep sea region.” The two guards came back and reported the news.
Bei Feng nodded his head before slowly replying, “Yeah, gather all the necessary fishing tools within these three days of rest.”
“Yes!”
Everyone else nodded and left.
Immortal Spirit Fishes were hard to catch as they needed a special type of Spirit Beetle as bait in order to attract Immortal Spirit Fishes.
However, it was not cheap, with each beetle costing as much as one low-grade spirit stone.
Yet, now that it was harder to spot a Immortal Spirit Fishes, the price of a Spirit Beetle had also dropped. One low-grade spirit stone had become enough for 20 Spirit Beetles.
However, it did not mean 20 Spirit Beetles would let you catch 20 Immortal Spirit Fishes.
Spirit Beetles were not only liked by Immortal Spirit Fishes, but also by other fishes.
Also, a special type of fishing net made of strong heavenly silk was required.
Nets that could cover an area of 10,000 square meters easily cost more than 10,000 high-grade spirit stones!
And the three days were to be used on preparing these items.
It couldn’t be that a bunch of Thousand Year Kings would strip and jump into the Yellow Golden Sea to catch the Immortal Spirit Fishes barehanded, right?
After three days, Bei Feng and the gang were ready.
The early expenditure had already reached 10,000 high-grade spirit stones! This expenditure exhausted Bei Feng’s savings.
Bei Feng was not preparing to fish near the land, but planned to head to the deep sea!
Only the deep sea had some Immortal Spirit Fishes left.
However, more dangers were present in the deep sea. To a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy, entering the deep sea was like courting death.
This was due to the fact that Ten Thousand Year Supremacies tended to attract sea demonic beasts.
Although sea Demonic Beasts were not as smart as land Demonic Beasts, they were not necessarily weaker!
With a huge body size, a Ten Thousand Year Realm sea demonic beast could be on par with a human Ten Thousand Year Supremacy!
Having a huge body size meant having powerful blood Qi, making it even harder to get through its thick skin. Attacking it a hundred times might not deal much damage to the sea demonic beast, but even one hit from it could prove lethal for you.
At the dock was a black 10-zhang-tall ship made from tiger bone wood.
Tiger bone wood could be considered one of the toughest wood, being able to endure attacks of a Thousand Year King for a whole day!
However, the tiger wood was not expensive or precious. Usually, 30,000 high-grade spirit stones were enough to buy a complete ship like this.
It was much cheaper compared to a fishing net made of Heavenly Silk.
Travelling on a ten-zhang-tall ship would mean a smooth ride due to stabilizing body size.
Bei Feng’s group boarded the ship before loading the spirit stones into the broiler, fuelling the ship forward faster.
In less than ten breaths, the city was already out of their sight.
Spirit stones were the fuel for the ship, with every 10 kilometers requiring one low-grade spirit stone to cover.
