"What, you want to go to the sea? No, this is absolutely impossible.
What, you said there's a high possibility of becoming a god there, then sit down and let's discuss it thoroughly."
The sect leader poured himself a cup of tea, and the hand holding the teacup even trembled slightly. It turned out that it was Xu Mingxi who had suddenly given him a big surprise.
After drinking the tea, the sect leader calmed his agitated mood and then looked at Xu Mingxi who had always caused him trouble. The matter of the Blue Silver Emperor's inheritance site in the Sunset Forest hadn't been resolved yet, but he told him that he wanted to go to the sea, as if he was a wish machine.
"Mingxi, do you know how hard it is to go to sea? Preparing a ship and having experienced sailors are small things, and the sect can help you with that.
However, at sea, how to determine the direction and how to fight all kinds of sea soul beasts are the most important issues."
"Sect Master, I have a way to solve the direction. As for how to fight sea soul beasts, perhaps we can find the answer in Hanhai City."
The sect master looked at Xu Mingxi's eyes full of determination and could only agree. Not to mention Xu Mingxi, if he didn't have the heavy burden of the Star Crown Sect on his shoulders, he would definitely want to give it a try as well. It was a chance to become a god.
Despite this, some worries were unavoidable. After all, even if he didn't become a god, Xu Mingxi was definitely an Extreme Douluo candidate, and he represented the prosperity of the Star Crown Sect for the next three hundred years.
Xu Mingxi packed up his luggage and prepared to depart. In addition to the Great Elders, he was also accompanied by two elders from the Control Department who were counting on Xu Mingxi to break through to the Contra level. Their lifelong wish could be fulfilled thanks to Xu Mingxi, so what harm could it do for them to accompany him on this journey?
Their destination was Hanhai City, located on the western coast of the Heaven Dou Empire. It was a coastal city and the largest port city on the Douluo Continent.
Most importantly, it was close to Sea God Island, which was rich in formidable crew members and powerful sea soul masters. Xu Mingxi and the other three brought with them many gold soul coins and various resources, and even Bai He's eight-thousand-year-old soul bone.
Once they found a suitable team in Hanhai City, they would depart directly and the date of their return had yet to be determined.
Xu Mingguang watched as the carriage Xu Mingxi and the other three were traveling in drove further and further up Star Luo Mountain, and he was determined to protect the Star Crown Sect until they returned.
Before leaving, Xu Mingxi also had a discussion with the sect leader about the Star Crown Sect's future development direction.
There shouldn't be any major chaos on the continent for now, so the people of the Star Crown Sect should focus on practicing and getting stronger.
The most important thing was to pay attention to the news about Tang Hao and his son, focusing on Notting College in Notting City, Fasno Province, Heaven Dou Empire.
Just half a month ago, the people sent by the Star Crown Sect had discovered a small village called Holy Soul Village near Notting City, and there was indeed a new blacksmith in the village.
After receiving the news, Xu Mingxi directly asked the sect leader to withdraw everyone. Now is not the time to deal with Tang Hao and his son.
We just need to find two people to stay at Notting College to teach and ensure Tang San's acceptance and he can become Yu Xiaogang's disciple. That's enough.
Xu Mingxi began the journey to Hanhai City. He wasn't worried about the Star Crown Sect, as it didn't offend Spirit Hall. It was located in the southwest of the continent and seemed to be at peace with the world. With the sect leader and second elder nearby, everything was safe.
Now it had only one thing, which was to follow the guidance of the two marks in the sea of spirits and see if the goal was the inheritance of the gods.
Everyone sat on the carriage, swaying slowly towards the gates of Hanhai City. Before getting off the carriage, they could already smell the salty odor of seawater.
The huge city was built on a mountain by the sea. The thick city walls could withstand the attacks of most sea soul beasts. A large number of ships were parked at the docks. The corpses of sea soul beasts were dragged out of the ships by the soul masters and sold on the spot.
The four of them had two goals for this trip. The first was to hire a sea soul master who had knowledge of navigation and could help defend against sea soul beasts. The second was to buy a suitable ship, even better if it was a soul guide ship that could sail on the open sea.
Some people acted separately. The elders went to the intelligence sales place in Hanhai City to see if there were any suitable sea soul masters willing to go to the distant sea, while Xu Mingxi went to various large trading companies to see if there were any suitable soul guides.
It is unknown whether all the soul guides who can sail the seas have been recruited by the sea soul masters. Xu Mingxi had visited most of the businesses in Hanhai City without any results. However, he bought some soul guides that could store large amounts of fresh water, so he didn't have to worry about drinking water on the way.
Just as he stepped into the last business in disappointment, even though this business didn't sell navigation soul guides, he told Xu Mingxi a piece of news.
Five days later, a grand auction would be held at the auction house next to the Vast Sea Soul Fighting Arena. A large number of rare treasures would appear at that time, and the soul guide for long-distance navigation that he wanted might also appear.
Xu Mingxi returned to the hotel where he agreed to meet with the three elders. After a while, the three elders arrived, and the eldest elder held a stack of information in his hands.
"Mingxi, this is information on famous sea soul mercenary groups that we bought from various intelligence agencies in the city. We'll see if there are any matches and talk to them later."
"There's no need to rush. I haven't found a ship yet. We only have to wait for the auction for four more days. We have enough time to choose the right candidate."
The three elders nodded and checked the information in their hands with Xu Mingxi.
The open sea, like the core region of the Far North, was a forbidden zone for humans. The constantly changing weather, the scarcity of resources, and the unknown but powerful sea soul beasts in the sea made many soul masters stay away from the open sea.
After all, you never know what your comrades on the same ship are thinking. You might be able to jump off the ship and escape near the shore, but jumping off the ship deep in the middle of the sea is tantamount to seeking death.
Xu Mingxi quickly flipped through the information in his hand. Although there were a large number of sea soul masters, it was basically clearly written that they only operated near the coast.
I finally found someone who was willing to go to the distant seas, but he asked for a high price and payment in advance. The most important thing was that his strength was only that of a great soul master. Isn't this clearly exchanging lives for money?
Forget it, let's just save it for now. Xu Mingxi put aside this information from the great soul master. Perhaps in the end he had no other choice but to meet this great soul master who was said to have been a navigator for decades.
"Mingxi, how's it going over there?"
"No, there is only one great soul master who has written a letter to accept Yuanhai. Grandpa, do you see any suitable candidates?"
The three elders shook their heads. They had flipped through all the information in their hands, but saw none. They really didn't know if the intelligence agents were holding back.
The elders decided to go out and take a look tomorrow. They just couldn't believe that no one would be willing to go out into the open sea for such a large profit.
Xu Mingxi again got information about the great soul masters. He planned to try his luck tomorrow. Maybe he could actually meet a great navigator.
