Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 449: Chapter 271 Treatment

A large flying boat was flying over the sea, and the ocean below could be seen through the cabin windows.

The Beihai was an extremely dangerous area, teeming with sea beasts, and it was equally perilous even while flying in the sky.

Among the sea beasts, let’s not even mention the third-grade Great Demons; even the second-grade ones possessed the ability to attack the sky.

Yet this large flying boat was sailing safely, with no sea beasts attacking it.

That’s because there was a flag hanging in front of the large flying boat, emitting strange fluctuations, making all nearby sea beasts understand that this flying boat was under protection.

In addition to the cargo hold, the two upper levels of this large flying boat were passenger cabins; the lower level was for economy-class passengers, mostly Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The upper level consisted of ten suites, reserved for cultivators with status or those at the Golden Core Stage.

Due to the chaos on Sky Sea Island, many cultivators were trying to leave, especially those associated with the Beihai Trading Company, and even mortals, were trying all means to board a Beihai Trading Company merchant flying boat.

This was currently the only safe way to leave Sky Sea Island. Otherwise, one would be either oppressed by the Mingxin Sect with no escape, or forced to submit or be exterminated.

In Suite No. 2 on the upper level of the trading company’s flying boat, Elder Yin, Elder Ren, and Ren Fei’er, a family of three, were resting.

At that moment, the family of three sat in the living room, with both Golden Core Cultivators, Elder Yin and Elder Ren, having eyes full of confusion and concern.

Beihai Trading Company, which had previously been out of reach, had unexpectedly approached them this time and provided them with a ship ticket.

It was known that on Sky Sea Island today, a ship ticket for the Beihai Trading Company’s merchant flying boat was exceedingly difficult to obtain; currently, the company was mainly taking away its own staff and their families left on the island.

For other cultivators to embark on a Beihai Trading Company merchant flying boat was extremely difficult, mainly because the trading company also did not want any complications with the Mingxin Sect that had taken over Sky Sea Island, as the company was still primarily focused on business.

Upon receiving the ship ticket, Elder Yin first thought that it must be because of her daughter, Yin Shilan, having secured her status as a True Inheritor of the Thousand Illusion Sect and having used that to secure a ticket for them.

In recent days on Sky Sea Island, due to the coercion of the Mingxin Sect, the Sky Sea Sect and Xuanming Sect had effectively ceased to exist.

Elder Yin and Elder Ren, both having left their respective sects, and the pair of Golden Core cultivators took their youngest daughter, Ren Fei’er, relying on the cultivation they had accrued previously, but they knew this was not a long-term solution.

With the Mingxin Sect’s dominance, even the survival of the two Golden Core cultivators became increasingly difficult.

Not to mention that the resources for Golden Core cultivation on Sky Sea Island had always been scarce, and now, almost akin to Loose Cultivators, how could Elder Yin and Elder Ren still obtain Golden Core resources? They had long thought of leaving.

They had even planned to forcefully cross the Beihai if they could not wait for a merchant flying boat from the Beihai Trading Company. If it were just the two of them, they would have done so long ago, but with their young daughter, Ren Fei’er, they needed to consider her and had been dragging their feet.

Just when they were at a loss, the Beihai Trading Company sent them a ship ticket, and Elder Yin and Elder Ren hastily took Ren Fei’er on board the Beihai Trading Company’s merchant flying boat.

But as soon as they boarded the boat, odd things happened, and that was what made both Elder Yin and Elder Ren both confused and worried.

The person in charge of security on the merchant flying boat was a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator surnamed Jiang, whose strength was second to none on Sky Sea Island, except for the False Infant Elder Zang of the Mingxin Sect.

Even the False Infant Elder Zang of the Mingxin Sect did not dare to make a move against a Beihai Trading Company’s boat because while the Mingxin Sect was an unmatched force against the Seven Sects of the Sky Sea Island, the Beishu Trading Company was an entity with a Nascent Soul Ancestor, and just one Nascent Soul Ancestor could annihilate the Mingxin Sect.

With Jiang cultivator’s strength, along with the backing of the Beihai Trading Company, his status was far superior to that of the Golden Core Cultivator duo, Elder Yin and Elder Ren.

Yet Jiang cultivator was extremely courteous towards Elder Yin and Elder Ren, and he even personally arranged Suite No. 2 for their family, the best one aside from Suite No. 1 where he himself resided.

Moreover, servants from the Beihai Trading Company would deliver Spirit Food to them daily; although the Spirit Food was only second-grade, it was absolutely top-tier treatment during such a voyage.

It was exactly because of Jiang cultivator’s excessively kind attitude that they felt uneasy.

Elder Yin was keenly aware that even if Yin Shilan was a True Inheritor of the Thousand Illusion Sect and had the sect’s support, it wouldn’t make a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator go to such lengths to please them.

Even Elder Yin felt that Jiang cultivator was clearly trying to court their favor, and he was wise enough to know that with his and his wife Elder Ren’s status, they should not have received such proactive friendliness from Jiang cultivator.

Let alone the fact that the Sky Sea Sect and Xuanming Sect were essentially disbanded; even during their heyday, the combined status of the two Golden Core Elders would not attract Jiang cultivator’s attention.

“Could it be that Lan’er’s status in the Thousand Illusion Sect has changed?” Elder Yin murmured quietly to himself.

“That child Lan’er, aside from her focus on Formations, what else would she do!” Elder Ren shook her head and said.

They knew their own child well. Yin Shilan had excellent talents, but she loved Formations exclusively, cultivating only to delve deeper into the study of Formations.

But for Yin Shilan to have achieved any major breakthroughs in the field of Formations in just a few years was impossible; the study of Formations required the accumulation of time, and without decades or even centuries of relentless research, it was not possible to achieve the kind of success that would make a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator actively court one’s favor.
