105: Ways to cross the sea

Lu Hao casually found a tavern. He directly ordered over a dozen jars of the best wine in the shop, along with a few small dishes, and began to eat and drink heartily.

These days, they had been traveling and playing along the way, which was fun, but they hadn't really eaten anything good.

Most of the Northern Wasteland, like the Qingxuan Mountain Range, consisted of deep forests or desolate plains covered in wild grass, with very few Cultivators.

During this time, the most Lu Hao had eaten was Yao Beast meat he caught along the way.

Especially wine, Lu Hao hadn't smelled the aroma of wine for almost half a year and was practically dying of thirst.

As for Stubborn Ox and Little Dragon, they were curious about this new city. After telling Lu Hao, the two went out to play together.

Lu Hao didn't bother to worry, not at all concerned about others bullying them.

With their strength, it would be good enough if they didn't bully others.

Now that he had finally found a city by the sea, he naturally had to have a good meal first.

Just then, a rough voice sounded:

"Shopkeeper, give me ten jars of your best wine here, and then cut ten catties of the best sea beast meat!"

Upon hearing this, the tavern owner hurriedly walked out from inside.

He walked while apologetically saying:

"This esteemed guest, I'm truly sorry, but all the best wine in our small shop was just bought by that guest. Now, our small shop only has second-grade wine. If you don't mind, I'll go get it for you."

The owner spoke while pointing in Lu Hao's direction.

"I came here specifically for your best wine; I won't drink second-grade wine."

The big man said as he turned his head to glance at Lu Hao, immediately feeling puzzled.

This person looked so handsome; he didn't seem like those who went out to sea daily to hunt Yao Beasts.

Could it be that he just arrived in Linhai City?

Linhai City is located in the most remote part of the Northern Wasteland, inhabited mostly by indigenous Cultivators.

Cultivation here is more difficult due to the scarcity of resources.

Most Cultivators, once their cultivation reaches a certain level, will move to the territories governed by the Three Great Sects.

After all, the cultivation resources, Cultivation Techniques, and Spirit Stones there are far more abundant than here.

It's generally rare for anyone to willingly come here from the inner land.

Lu Hao noticed the man's gaze, but he naturally continued to drink and eat without a care.

"Shopkeeper, no need. Just get me ten catties of good sea beast meat and serve it to the young man who just bought the wine."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

After the big man finished speaking to the shopkeeper, he walked directly towards Lu Hao.

For a moment, he attracted most of the attention in the shop, everyone filled with gossip.

This big man was no simple character; he had some fame in Linhai City.

His cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Stage, and he had also Cultivated a Profound Rank Cultivation Technique. His combat power was extremely strong!

Under everyone's gaze, the big man sat down opposite Lu Hao.

Then, with a beaming smile, he said:

"Little Friend, may I perhaps beg a drink? To be honest, I'm quite craving this wine, hahaha."

Lu Hao listened and responded with a smile:

"Of course, it's fate to meet. Fellow Daoist, please help yourself."

With that, Lu Hao waved his sleeve, and a jar of good wine flew out, landing steadily in front of the big man.

Upon seeing the wine, the big man eagerly unsealed it, took a deep whiff, and without pouring, directly hugged the jar and began to drink heartily.

The big man downed half a jar in one go. After drinking, he slammed the jar onto the table and shouted:

"Good wine, good wine! Finally, my craving is satisfied."

"Little Friend, my name is Wu Hongshuang. May I ask your name?"

"Lu Hao."

Lu Hao smiled faintly.

This person was quite interesting, straightforward and to Lu Hao's liking.

Just then, the owner brought up ten catties of meat and neatly arranged them on Lu Hao's table.

Wu Hongshuang loudly said:

"Little friend Lu, I can't freeload your wine. These are all good sea beast meats. Come, come, have a taste, the flavor is quite good."

Lu Hao was momentarily stunned.

He had been eating meat for half a year and really had no appetite for it now.

He himself had only ordered wine and some small dishes to go with it.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, how does one go out to sea from here?"

Lu Hao quickly changed the subject.

"Go out to sea?"

Wu Hongshuang took a big bite of meat, speaking indistinctly:

"There's plenty of going out to sea here. Everyone relies on hunting to obtain Cultivation resources. If Little friend Lu wants to go out to sea, he can just go to the beach and find any boat."

Lu Hao said:

"Fellow Daoist Wu, that's not what I meant. I want to go out to sea to the nearest State. Are there any such fleets?"

Wu Hongshuang was greatly surprised upon hearing this and quickly stopped what he was doing, asking in disbelief:

"Little friend Lu? You want to go to another State?"

"Precisely."

Wu Hongshuang frowned and said to Lu Hao:

"Little friend Lu, it's not that I'm meddling, but I want to ask if you know how dangerous this is? The Danling State, which is closest to us, is at least thirty million li away!

Not to mention crossing the sea, it's difficult to even walk that distance on flat ground."

And that's not even mentioning how treacherous the Devouring Demon Sea itself is. Although this is just the outer area, there can still be some Nascent Soul Cultivation sea beasts."

Sometimes, with bad luck, even Soul Transformation sea beasts can appear!

In more extreme conditions, there have even been instances of sea beast swarms! I see you are young; your cultivation must not be too high, right? Wanting to cross the sea is indeed too dangerous."

Lu Hao listened to Wu Hongshuang's words, not refuting, and said with a faint smile:

"Fellow Daoist only needs to tell me how to cross the sea. This is very important to me; I have my own plans for other matters."

Seeing Lu Hao's persistence, Wu Hongshuang no longer tried to dissuade him and began to explain how to cross the sea.

"The Devouring Demon Sea is a forbidden flight zone; one cannot fly here. Legend has it that this Law of forbidden flight was formed during the great battle between those two supreme powerhouses before."

Therefore, ordinary Cultivators who wish to cross the sea can only travel by water. When the Eastern Domain Continent first shattered, there were still many fleets traveling between the two States."

However, as time passed, most Cultivators gave up on this idea because it was truly too dangerous."

Now, only one fleet still accepts sea-crossing missions. If Little friend Lu wants to cross the sea to the distant Danling State, he can go ask this fleet when they plan to set sail."

Lu Hao listened patiently and asked:

"Where is that fleet now?"

"It's in the City Lord's Mansion. Nowadays, apart from the people in the City Lord's Mansion, who else has the ability to cross the sea?"

"Haha, thank you, Fellow Daoist Wu, for the guidance. Come, I'll toast you!"

Wu Hongshuang immediately picked up a jar and said heartily:

"Come, come, I'll use the jar as a cup. Bottoms up!"

......

The two ate, drank, and chatted. Lu Hao also felt quite happy. It really was better to have someone to brag with.

If he were to Cultivate in seclusion every day like his master, he would surely die of boredom.

Oh, having a System is just great...
