724: Chapter 724, Number 110!!

Qin Yan furrowed his brows.

The core area is where the Venerable fell, and the danger level is extremely high.

"However, I probably won't need to go deep into the core area."

Qin Yan thought to himself.

"The place with a dense Aura of destruction might be on the edge of the core area."

"If I'm careful, it should be fine."

After understanding the information, Qin Yan returned to his Immortal Cave.

Upon returning to his Immortal Cave, Qin Yan sat cross-legged, the information about the Guhen Kingdom echoing in his mind.

A sense of urgency welled up in Qin Yan's heart.

"I need to add some more life-saving methods for myself."

Strictly speaking, this upcoming trip to the Guhen Kingdom counts as his first time going out for training since arriving in the Taixuan Realm.

His previous range of activities had mostly been around the Taixuan Holy Land, which was relatively safe.

The only long-distance trip was to Qingyun City, but at that time he had companions, and the companions accompanying him all had very impressive backgrounds—Yin Li was the direct daughter of a True Emperor Family, Huang Jiuli was the direct disciple of the Phoenix Divine Mountain, and Yun Qingge and Lu Qingshan were also descendants of True Emperor families.

Behind them, there were Family experts secretly following.

Moreover, the strongest person in Qingyun City was only a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster, so there was absolutely no need to worry about incidents of black-on-black or the strong bullying the weak.

With their strength and backgrounds, in a small place like Qingyun City, they were existences that could walk sideways.

But this time, the Guhen Kingdom is full of experts.

Grandmasters are as common as dogs, Great Grandmasters walk everywhere, and Venerables are not rare either.

Although his strength is not weak, in front of Grandmasters, it is still somewhat insufficient.

A Grandmaster at the Early Stage could make him fall into a bitter battle; a Grandmaster at the Middle Stage would be very difficult for him to deal with; a Grandmaster at the Late Stage, he might not even be able to escape.

This trip of his is still a bit dangerous.

However, the risk is now much lower.

The reason is naturally because he has the company of Jiang Li, this heaven-favored daughter.

Jiang Li—the direct daughter of the Jiang Family, a True Emperor Family; her status is noble, and her background is profound.

For a Prodigy like her, Qin Yan does not believe there isn't an expert protecting her from behind.

"However, I cannot rely entirely on Jiang Li for everything. I must also prepare some methods for myself."

Qin Yan thought.

Jiang Li is Jiang Li, and he is himself. The experts behind Jiang Li are there to protect Jiang Li, not him.

When encountering danger, they will definitely prioritize protecting Jiang Li, not him.

He cannot entrust his own safety to others.

He needs to prepare his own life-saving methods.

Immediately, Qin Yan opened his token. After careful consideration, he spent eight hundred taixuan points in one go to purchase twenty sheets of Seventh-Grade blank Talisman paper.

Subsequently, Qin Yan sent these Talisman papers into the Blood Demon Nest and told Xiao Hei his requirements—he needed defensive Spirit Talismans and offensive Spirit Talismans; defensive Spirit Talismans were for saving his life, and offensive Spirit Talismans were for counterattacking. Both were needed, and neither could be lacking.

Xiao Hei took the Talisman paper, its branches swaying gently, conveying a thought to Qin Yan: "Leave it to me."

Then, Qin Yan spent some more taixuan points to exchange for a batch of Sixth-Rank Spirit Medicines.

After the Spirit Medicines arrived, Qin Yan directly started refining.

The blood condensation life creation cauldron rotated in the air, and the fragrance of pills permeated the Immortal Cave.

Qin Yan's Mental Energy sank into the cauldron, precisely controlling the melting of each portion of medicinal materials, the Fusion of each wisp of medicinal power, and every subtle change in the heat.

His Alchemy skills were already at the level of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, and refining Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills was familiar territory for him.

One furnace, two furnaces, three furnaces... one by one, round and plump Medicinal Pills flew out from the cauldron and landed into jade bottles.

Healing, blood-restoring, and burst-enhancing—Qin Yan refined ten of each, enough for him to use in the Guhen Kingdom.

At the same time, inside the Blood Demon Nest, Xiao Hei waved its branches, working hard to carve Talismans for Qin Yan.

The Spirit Brush moved across the Talisman paper, leaving behind streaks of pitch-black patterns.

Xiao Hei's brushwork was much more proficient than before—after so many failures and practices, its Talisman Master skills had improved significantly.

The Darkness Power circulated on the Talisman paper, and one by one, the runes took shape.

Xiao Hei's Mental Energy was highly concentrated; every stroke and line was done carefully, not daring to be even slightly careless.

Refining Talismans is just like Alchemy; a miss by an inch leads to an error of a thousand miles.

If one stroke is wrong, the entire Talisman paper is ruined.

One person and one pet, both were busy.

Time quickly arrived at May 29th.

...

Taixuan Holy Land. Lingyun Dock.

Lingyun Dock is one of the most important transportation hubs of the Holy Land.

The dock covers a vast area, with Flying Ships and giant warships of various sizes moored on the ground and in the air.

Most of those moored on the ground are small Flying Ships, ranging from several zhang to over ten zhang in length, suitable for individuals or small teams to travel.

Most of those floating in the air are large giant warships, tens or even over a hundred zhang long, built entirely from Spirit Wood and Spirit Gold, with the hulls covered in defensive runes and offensive Formations, serving as the main force for the Holy Land's long-distance transportation.

The dense Flying Ships and giant warships, like a forest of steel, were truly spectacular.

The Guhen Kingdom is not very far from the Taixuan Holy Land.

Taking a Taixuan Holy Land Flying Ship, one can arrive in about a day and a night.

If taking a teleportation array, the speed would be faster—it would only take a few breaths of time to cross endless distances and arrive directly at the royal capital of the Guhen Kingdom.

But this has two drawbacks.

First, the cost of the teleportation array is high.

Starting the teleportation array requires consuming a large amount of energy crystals, and the cost of one teleportation far exceeds the ticket price of a Flying Ship.

Second, it would cause separation from the experts secretly protecting them from behind.

It is very likely that Jiang Family experts are secretly following behind Jiang Li, and those experts cannot ride the teleportation array with them.

Taking a Flying Ship is different; the people protecting them in secret can take another Flying Ship, or simply fly through the air to follow behind, always maintaining a distance that is neither too far nor too near.

Therefore, all things considered, the two chose to take the Holy Land's Flying Ship.

It's both cost-effective and safe.

Jiang Li and Qin Yan arrived in front of a giant warship.

That giant warship was a hundred zhang long, silvery white all over, with the hull covered in dense runes, shimmering with a faint spiritual light under the sunlight.

On the bow of the giant warship was carved a giant sword rising into the sky, with a Dragon coiled around the sword body, imposing and majestic.

Under the guidance of the dock administrator, the two paid the fare—five taixuan points each, deducted directly from their Holy Land tokens.

Then, the two boarded the Holy Land giant warship.

Inside the giant warship, the space was spacious and the layout reasonable.

The first floor was the public area, with facilities such as restaurants, lounges, and Martial Arts Arenas.

The second to fourth floors were the guest room areas, with small rooms arranged neatly, each with a room number hanging on the door.

Each guest room was equipped with basic Spirit Formations, capable of isolating external noise to ensure the guests' rest.

After Qin Yan and Jiang Li exchanged room numbers—Jiang Li's was 108, and Qin Yan's was 110—they each walked into their respective rooms.
