第一千六百三十四章 百花舟

The next day, Lin Xuan stayed in his cave dwelling without going anywhere else. He took good rest and recuperated.

Before long, it was the agreed time. Lin Xuan activated the禁制 around his cave dwelling and transformed into a streak of startling light, heading towards the designated location.

It was an unremarkable small hill. When Lin Xuan arrived, Venerable Jin Hong and Fairy Ming Quan were already waiting there. These two were indeed punctual.

"Ahem, Amitabha, please take your seat here," said Venerable Jin Hong with his palms pressed together in a prayer gesture. There were several stone tables and chairs on the ground,凝聚 by earth attribute spells, which was merely a trivial matter for cultivators at the Separation and Union stage.

Fairy Ming Quan did not say anything but her face turned slightly red.

Venerable Jin Hong chuckled. "Amitabha, your lotus boat… why are you so stingy? As passengers, shouldn't we pay something?"

"Hey, Venerable Jin, do you find it funny to look for girls?" Fairy Ming Quan's gaze swept over him as she moved gracefully towards the lotus boat.

Just when everyone was about to board, a sigh echoed from where they stood. "Alas, the former Prince Iyan has fallen so low that he lacks any grace."

Venerable Jin Hong laughed. "Amitabha, stop teasing our friends. Iyan, your lotus boat…"

"Enough! You all are jealous and plotting against me, so here is my lotus boat." Prince Iyan said with a scowl as he flicked his sleeves. A streak of white light flashed out, revealing an elaborately carved and painted灵舟.

The boat hovered more than twenty meters above them, drawing everyone's attention and emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Upon closer inspection, the cabin was filled with various flowers in full bloom, and many unknown birds and beasts were perched there.

Without any added灵力, it still stood out impressively.

This wasn't just a means of transportation; it looked like a miniature imperial palace, drawing everyone's attention.

"Hey, Iyan, are you really so stingy? This lotus boat requires top-grade crystals to operate. As passengers, shouldn't we pay something?" Prince Iyan said as he folded his fan and stretched out his hand.

Fairy Ming Quan looked at him with a raised eyebrow before stepping onto the lotus boat.

Just when everyone was about to board, Venerable Jin Hong spoke up. "Amitabha, stop teasing our friends. Iyan's lotus boat…"

"Enough! You all are jealous and plotting against me, so here is my lotus boat." Prince Iyan said with a scowl as he flicked his sleeves.

A streak of white light flashed out, revealing several silver符文 that exploded into silver sparks, which merged into the body of the boat.

The lotus boat shook violently before becoming increasingly transparent and finally dissolving into an unremarkable puff of smoke. The fragrance completely disappeared.

Inside the cabin, everyone sat close to each other as they were served with various灵酒 and fruits.

"Good one! Iyan's lotus boat is indeed fast, comparable even to a Core Separation stage monster. It also has a hidden effect that can conceal its trail. If we auction it off, it would be the highlight of the event."

Venerable Jin Hong chuckled. "Amitabha, this lotus boat is not for sale. Don't even think about it."

Lin Xuan smiled and showed his pearly whites as he quickly boarded the lotus boat.

"Venerable, are you also…" Venerable Jin Hong said with a smile. "Amitabha, what a wonderful thing! Iyan's lotus boat is indeed fast, comparable even to a Core Separation stage monster. It also has a hidden effect that can conceal its trail."

Prince Iyan was taken aback and reluctantly agreed. With the help of Venerable Jin Hong’s guidance, they sailed smoothly for three days without encountering any trouble.

Along the way, they met several other cultivators who failed to recognize their lotus boat's hidden effects.

After three days, they finally saw a large island in the distance.

The island was vast with numerous mountains and lakes, offering beautiful scenery. However, this wasn't a vacation; they were about to pass by quickly when Venerable Jin Hong said, "Stop."

"Venerable, is it here?" Prince Iyan asked as he stopped the lotus boat above the island.

Everyone looked at each other with concern.

"Not yet, but we need to go another two thousand miles. This island used to be barren, but now there are so many cultivators," Venerable Jin Hong said with a frown.

They were stunned for a moment before activating their divine sense.

After some time, Lin Xuan looked up and said, "These people are building pavilions and terraces, clearly planning to stay here permanently. More accurately, they are establishing a sect or a cultivator family here. This is troublesome."

Fairy Ming Quan's cold voice echoed in everyone’s ears. "Indeed, it is only two thousand miles away. If we ignore them, our treasure hunt might be discovered."
