395: Undersea volcano

Hearing this and looking at the emotional woman before him, Su Yongchun said no more and walked toward his room.

All of his belongings were inside his Storage Pouch.

He certainly couldn't use the Storage Pouch in front of that woman.

Back in his room, three large sabers appeared in Su Yongchun's hands.

Looking at the three sabers before him, he let out a sigh.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with them.

These things...

He had over a dozen of them in his Storage Pouch, all forged out of boredom.

They had only cost him two or three days of his time.

He was just feeling very frustrated.

Just three Mortal Weapons could make a large ship like this change course for the Blackwater Zone.

If he had realized this sooner, why the hell would he have spent so much time hiding away in An Ding Village!

Why wait for the Wu Family's ship? He could have just found any large ship and set sail!

“System, you need to give me more guidance. Otherwise, I'm completely in the dark, hiding like a mouse when I've already become a tiger.”

Ye Tian did not respond; he was in the middle of fusing his twelfth Bloodline, the Bloodline of the Divine Beast, Bai Ze.

Amidst the swirling mist of the System space, as the Fusion progressed, the area around Ye Tian had transformed into a pool of water.

Through the gaps in the drifting mist, one could see platinum divine patterns on his bare skin that exuded a heart-palpitating aura.

In the outside world, from Su Yongchun's perspective, the System had gone idle again.

He didn't mind and picked up the three Mortal Weapons, heading straight for Li Qingtao's room.

*Thud~*

Even though he placed the three weapons down gently, the entire wooden table shook for a moment.

Seeing these three weapons, Li Qingtao's breathing visibly quickened.

Holding a magnifying glass, she seemed to have some knowledge regarding weaponry.

After inspecting them one by one, Li Qingtao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, “Such new Mortal Weapons, and of excellent quality—they've almost reached the threshold of Medium Grade Mortal Weapons!”

“It looks like they were all forged by the same Artifact Refiner.”

At this point, the woman suddenly looked at Su Yongchun: “May I ask, were these forged by you, young sir?”

“No, they were all forged by my father.” Su Yongchun would never admit to it.

Once he admitted to such a thing, there would be all sorts of attempts to recruit him and endless entanglements; it would be a deathly nuisance.

“Is that so.” Li Qingtao snapped out of it and looked at the youth before her, who was barely in his teens. On second thought, it made sense.

Who among those capable of forging Mortal Weapons hadn't spent decades immersed in the Dao of Artifact Refining?

How could a mere boy forge Mortal Weapons?

“The items have been accepted. So, can we set off for the Blackwater Zone now?”

“Naturally!” Li Qingtao let out a long breath, feeling the relief of a long-standing problem finally being resolved.

“Dahai, arrange a Grade A Cabin for this guest. All food and drink are on the house.” After putting away the three sabers, Li Qingtao gave orders to the servant at the door... “Three thousand nautical miles.”

In the Grade A Cabin, Su Yongchun looked at the map spread out on the table, estimating the time.

According to that woman...

It would take about a month to reach their destination.

One month, huh.

Looking at the Experience Collector beside him, Su Yongchun could only comfort himself that only by enduring now could he reap greater rewards later.

Despite saying that, he still spread out the treasure map rewarded by the System.

In this vast sea, across a long journey of three thousand nautical miles, who could say for sure if there wouldn't be any treasure chests?

...“How can you just change the course?! Do you know how much of our time you're wasting?!”

“Yeah, you must compensate us! If you don't, we'll smash and sink this Li Family ship!”

On the deck outside, the passengers were shouting in dissatisfaction.

“Everyone, our Li Family is in the wrong for this trip. I, Li Qingtao, announce that for this journey, everyone's ticket money will be fully refunded.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd on the deck went quiet.

“That's more like it. It's not like we care about those ten gold taels; we're just giving your Li Family some Face!”

Listening to the voices outside, Su Yongchun shook his head and smiled.

He lay on the bed with the real-time refreshing map.

Days at sea...

Aside from the excitement of the first few days, Su Yongchun had grown a bit numb facing the endless, unchanging ocean.

As usual, he took out the treasure map.

As the large ship moved, a rotating refresh icon appeared on the map.

In the next moment...

A bright light appeared before Su Yongchun's eyes!

“Treasure, one hundred kilometers straight ahead!”

Looking at this light, it was much brighter than the light at the mass grave in Dehe County!

What kind of treasure would it be?

Su Yongchun couldn't help but wonder.

Could it be a massive field of corpses floating on the sea?

Like the Titanic? That would be a bit creepy.

He went all the way to the deck.

Looking at the map in his hand, Su Yongchun then looked at the sea ahead.

While waiting, the ship had already entered the treasure area. Su Yongchun looked at the empty sea before him, his brow furrowing slightly.

Could the treasure be at the bottom of the sea?

Thinking of this, he quickly found Li Qingtao.

“You want to stop the ship?” Seeing the youth who had come to her with such a baffling request, Li Qingtao knit her brows in difficulty.

But then...

Looking at another Mortal Weapon Su Yongchun placed before her, Li Qingtao's excited chest heaved heavily.

“Of course! For the rest of the journey, you can stop wherever you want!”

As she spoke, the woman beamed with joy, happily picking up the long saber and giving the order to the captain.

After a dozen breaths, the ship stopped.

As expected, the passengers began to grumble in dissatisfaction again.

However, when ten gold taels were stuffed into their mouths, it successfully shut them up.

*Splash~*

Su Yongchun looked at the sea below and jumped straight in.

The seawater wasn't cold; instead, it was quite warm.

Unfolding the treasure map underwater, Su Yongchun confirmed the position and continued downward.

Having reached the Ning Qu Realm, he could hold his breath underwater for over an hour, so he didn't have to worry at all about being unable to surface after diving deep.

As he dove deeper, Su Yongchun could feel the surrounding temperature rising higher and higher.

Fortunately, he had maxed out the Spirit Rune Body, a second-rate body tempering technique. The temperature that would be terrifying for ordinary people was completely trivial to him.

He continued to dive.

It wasn't until he saw the seabed and the flowing magma that he finally understood what the System's treasure map was pointing to!

An underwater volcano!

The System even collects this?

Taking out two Experience Collectors from his Storage Pouch, Su Yongchun looked at the vent where the magma flowed.

“Go on, I choose you!”

With a silent thought, the perfectly round Experience Collectors in his hand landed accurately into the underwater volcano.

Visibly, the underwater volcano, which was originally at the brink of eruption, seemed to encounter a black hole, and the magma on the surface was swallowed up!

Then, it was the magma from further down.

Experience +2, +2, +2... In just two short minutes, the experience points jumped straight to seven!

With two Experience Collectors, there was an income of nearly four experience points per minute!

Calculated this way, in twelve double-hours a day, he could get five thousand six or seven hundred experience points!

One day was equivalent to two months in An Ding Village!

A treasure, it truly was a massive treasure!

After understanding the income the underwater magma provided him, Su Yongchun returned to the ship, feeling that the scenery he had grown sick of was now beautiful again.

“Found a source of magma.” In the System space, Ye Tian was also watching this scene: “There's an income of nearly thirty million points. The magma in this kind of world has a quality far exceeding other worlds.”

As he spoke, Ye Tian's nearly depleted points began to rise again.

However, with the Fusion of another Bloodline, the Qilin Bloodline, the points began to be consumed again.

Almost every second, an amount of points equivalent to Su Yongchun's entire value was consumed.

Under such terrifying consumption of points, an existence that set the rules was undoubtedly being created!
