Chapter 2617

The wine given in the past, after so many years, should have been finished by now.

After sailing through the Boundary Sea for several days, the hurricane warship slowly came to a halt. Beneath the warship,

lay a small island with a diameter of only a thousand miles. For ordinary people, a thousand-mile island is already quite large.

But for cultivators, it is merely a speck of land. The waters of the Boundary Sea crashed against the island,

revealing vast stretches of reefs. On the reefs and the sandy beaches,

various colors of radiance shimmered. Each point of light was a seashell, and the light from each shell differed.

The different lights represented different attributes of the seashells, and there were clear patterns on the shells.

These represented the age of the shells; only those that reached a certain age were useful. The people from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce left the warship,

carrying special tools to collect the seashells. Meanwhile, the hurricane warship activated its formation, prohibiting anyone from leaving.

It was not that the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce was stingy, but rather to avoid causing trouble. Fortunately,

all the Dao Venerable Realm experts were obedient, and no one caused any trouble; otherwise, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce was not one to be trifled with.

Xiao Mei watched the people from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce go to collect the seashells, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Teacher,"

"what use do these seashells have?"

Even with her memories from the past, and even having reached the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable,

Xiao Mei still had too much she did not understand. Most of her time had been spent on cultivation, and what she knew as a Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable

was not even as much as Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu smiled and said, "This type of seashell is called a Colorful Immortal Shell."

"Different colors mean different attributes. Colorful Immortal Shells over a hundred years old"

"are crafting materials for the Dao Venerable Realm, while the meat of the shell is an excellent ingredient for alchemy. If you can find a thousand-year-old Colorful Immortal Shell,"

"that is a crafting material for the Dao Venerable 4th Realm and above, and a ten-thousand-year-old Colorful Immortal Shell is a material for above the Dao Venerable 7th Realm," Xiao Mei said.

"That seems quite precious." Lin Moyu said, "It is indeed precious."

"But it is not easy to obtain. This Shell Immortal Island stands alone in the depths of the Boundary Sea, and Sea Clans often come around."

"The Colorful Immortal Shells are often eaten before they can grow up." Xiao Mei asked curiously, "Then why not set up a formation to protect them?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "This is the territory of the Sea Clans. Do you really want to set up a formation"

"to stop the Sea Clans from eating them?"

"Colorful Immortal Shells are not only food for some Sea Clans, but also items needed for their growth and evolution."

"So, this place should be a shared location between the Third Ancestor and the Sea Clans. There is a harvest,"

"but it won't be too much; it depends on luck. But at the same time,"

"it also creates the characteristic that items are valued for their scarcity, so the price of the Colorful Immortal Shells goes up. The Third Ancestor won't lose out."

Xiao Mei had understood. "So that's how it is. The Third Ancestor really is a businessman."

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Indeed, he is the biggest fox on the Origin Continent."

Xiao Mei giggled, then said solemnly, "But Xiao Mei thinks"

"the Third Ancestor is not as smart as Teacher." Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Xiao Mei. "It seems your skin is itching."

"How dare you joke about your master." Xiao Mei stuck out her tongue. "Teacher's magnanimity is broader than the Boundary Sea."

"You certainly won't blame Xiao Mei." Xiao Mei had the memories of her past life and the age of her current life,

sometimes mature, sometimes cute. Lin Moyu had already become somewhat accustomed to it. "After we return to the Eastern Continent this time,"

"I imagine Xiao Mei will be able to get along well with Xiao Yue and the others." Thinking of Xiao Yue and the others, Lin Moyu muttered to himself,

"Four crazy girls; they could form a mahjong table." Xiao Mei opened her big eyes wide.

"Teacher, what did you say about a mahjong table?"

Lin Moyu said,

"A type of game that requires four people to play. When we return to the Eastern Continent,"

"Teacher will teach you, and then you can play with Xiao Yue and the others." Xiao Mei already knew of the existence of Xiao Yue and the others.

Her eyes filled with anticipation. "Great, great! I'll play with Senior Sister Xiao Yue then."

The hurricane warship stayed for a day before setting off again. This time, the warship flew somewhat low, only about a hundred meters from the sea surface.

After flying for only half a day, a patch of silver light appeared ahead. When the silver light appeared,

a hundred-meter large net appeared beneath the warship, with one end submerged in the Boundary Sea.

As the hurricane warship flew, the net bulged backward, and then the warship accelerated.

It charged into the silver light. In an instant, the view was filled with specks of silver light.

Countless silver radiance, like stars in the sky, was incomparably gorgeous.

"So beautiful!"

Xiao Mei's eyes shone as she looked at the silver radiance filling the sky outside the warship.

The silver radiance intertwined with the light of the warship's formation, becoming even more gorgeous and colorful. Lin Moyu said,

"This silver radiance is called Silver-Light Fish, an excellent ingredient for alchemy. Although their realm is not high,"

"the Great Dao is hidden within their bloodlines, and many medicinal pills require it. Moreover, they are extremely numerous."

"They are inexhaustible; this one net alone must contain at least several million of them."

Xiao Mei exclaimed, "I know about the Silver-Light Fish, but I've never seen them."

"So this is what the Silver-Light Fish is like. The Third Ancestor really knows how to make money. I remember that the Silver-Light Fish is not cheap."

Lin Moyu said, "It is indeed not cheap; otherwise, how could the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce become the number one chamber of commerce?"

"Just this Silver-Light Fish alone is enough to make them rake in huge profits. Except for the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce,"

"other chambers of commerce simply have neither the qualifications nor the ability to collect materials on the Boundary Sea. Many materials are exclusive to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce."

"Naturally, they can grow bigger and stronger." The hurricane warship collected materials along the way, sailing in the Boundary Sea for over ten days.

The speed suddenly slowed down. Lu Fengyao's voice rang out, "Ahead is the territory of the Gold-Water Beast."

"There might be conflicts, so please do not panic."

Chapter 3331: Bai Yiyuan's words remain absolute truth

The Gold-Water Beast is a type of spirit beast that lives in the Boundary Sea.

It is also known as a member of the Sea Clans, occupying a certain sea area. In the sea area of the Gold-Water Beast,

a mineral called Gold-Water Stone is produced, which is an excellent water-attribute crafting material. Every time the No. 4 hurricane warship returns from the Western Continent to the Southern Continent,

it goes to the territory of the Gold-Water Beast. If lucky, it can obtain some Gold-Water Stones. The appearance of Gold-Water Stones is somewhat random,

and they are not easy to obtain. The speed of the hurricane warship dropped to the minimum, sailing at an extremely slow speed.

Furthermore, the formation was activated, and the aura of the hurricane warship completely disappeared, entering a stealth state.

The Gold-Water Beast does not like anyone entering its territory; all intruders will be attacked by them. Lu Fengyao also notified everyone on the ship,

"Do not leave the hurricane warship. Once you leave, you will be responsible for the consequences." Lin Moyu smiled.

"This time, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce did not force others not to leave." Xiao Mei asked, "Why is it not forced this time?"

Lin Moyu drank his tea slowly. "Use your brain and think about it."

Xiao Mei tilted her head, rested her chin in her hand, and thought for a while. "Could it be because the quantity of Gold-Water Stones is very small?"

"That doesn't seem right. The smaller the quantity, shouldn't it be kept in one's own hands?"

"They did that on the Shell Immortal Island before, and it was the same the last few times. Why is it different this time?"

After thinking for a long while, Xiao Mei couldn't figure out why. She looked at Lin Moyu with a strong desire for knowledge.

"Teacher, just tell me." Lin Moyu said,

"Actually, master is only guessing. Many times, many things will not have an absolutely accurate answer."

Xiao Mei wrinkled her little face. "Teacher, stop keeping me in suspense."

"Just tell me how you guessed it." Lin Moyu said with a chuckle, "First, you need to know"

"the value of the Gold-Water Stone." Xiao Mei didn't even think and replied directly,

"The Gold-Water Stone belongs to the Water element in the Five Elements, and at the same time contains a trace of Gold attribute characteristics. It is an excellent crafting material in the Dao Venerable Realm."

"The value is very high, especially for some top-grade ones; the value is immeasurable."

Lin Moyu said, "So there you have it. Men die for wealth, and birds die for food."

"Seeing the Gold-Water Stone, some guys will definitely be tempted, and even some people"

"are here just for the Gold-Water Stone. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce also said that if you leave the ship, you are responsible for the consequences."

"What if someone can successfully get the Gold-Water Stone?"

"Wouldn't they make a big fortune? Also, you need to understand the habits of the Gold-Water Beast."

"They have extremely strong xenophobic attributes. Let alone outsiders like us, even if it were the same Sea Clans,"

"the Gold-Water Beast would not allow them to get close. At the same time, some data also states"

"that the Gold-Water Beast clan holds a sacrificial ceremony regularly. The sacrifices are all living beings, including those of the Sea Clans,"

"and those of other races." Hearing this, Xiao Mei was startled.

"Teacher, are you saying that the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce treats those guys"

"as sacrificial offerings to give to the Gold-Water Beast?"

Lin Moyu chuckled.

"It's not that the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce sends them; they go to deliver themselves because of greed."

"The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce at most provided a bait, and this bait is placed in the open for everyone to see."

"As for whether they will eat the bait, it depends on whether you are smart enough and whether you can suppress the greed in your heart."

"Everyone has greed. When facing temptation, can you guard your Dao Heart?"

"That is the key point. If you cannot guard it, even if nothing happens today,"

"something will happen in the future." Xiao Mei said, "The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce doing this"

"seems a bit cruel. And what benefit can it have for them?"

Lin Moyu said,

"Xiao Mei, you also have memories of your past life and should know what this world is like."

"As for the benefits, naturally there will be some. The Third Ancestor will not do business at a loss."

Xiao Mei sighed. At this moment, the childishness on her little face receded, and she became somewhat mature.

"Teacher is right. This world is just like this." Lin Moyu took a sip of tea.

Slowly spitting out eight words: "The weak are prey to the strong; only the fittest survive!"

"The weak have no say. This world is very unfair, but from a certain perspective,"

"it is also very fair. Might makes right. The words that Bai Yiyuan once said"

"are still absolute truth when applied to the Origin Continent." Xiao Mei looked at those Dao Venerable Realm experts who were also on the ship's railing.

"I don't know how many of these Dao Venerable Realm experts will die because of the Gold-Water Stone." The hurricane warship slowed down.

Concealing its own aura, after flying in the Gold-Water Beast territory for half an hour, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared in their sight.

The golden light intertwined with the water light of the Boundary Sea, looking extremely beautiful. Gold-Water Stone!

Someone on the warship let out a low exclamation. Xiao Mei could clearly sense that the heartbeats and breathing of many people had changed.

Greed was aroused. The number of people who came for the Gold-Water Stone seemed to exceed her imagination.

Xiao Mei realized that she had spent too much time cultivating in her past life, and her understanding of this world was too shallow.

Lin Moyu said slowly, "There are too many temptations in the world; it is very difficult to guard one's Dao Heart."
