Chapter 407: Conversation

"So, Fellow Daoist, it seems you're going to have quite an experience," said the early Gold Core cultivator with a smile.

Upon hearing Li Fellow Daoist's words, Lin Qing took a closer look at him and was surprised to find that they shared some similar perspectives.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist, you must be aiming to break through to the Nascent Soul stage," Li Fellow Daoist suddenly turned to Lin Qing and said with envy.

As soon as he spoke, the other two Gold Core cultivators also looked at Lin Qing. Among them, Lin Qing had the highest cultivation level. They had intentionally befriended Lin Qing because if he successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he would become a formidable force in Zhongzhou.

"Yes, I am going to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. However, I have been cultivating in seclusion and have never been to Zhongzhou before. Could Fellow Daoist tell me a bit about Zhongzhou so that I can be better prepared?" Lin Qing shifted the topic and asked about Zhongzhou.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Li Fellow Daoist turned to another early Gold Core cultivator beside him and said, "Fellow Daoist He, you have been to Zhongzhou several times, so you must know a lot. Why don't you share with us? We are all curious."

Hearing this, the cultivator known as He Fellow Daoist did not refuse. He smiled and began to speak, "Since I am the only one here who has been to Zhongzhou, I am obliged to share. It's not a big deal. To be honest, you don't need to have any strange ideas about Zhongzhou. While it is vast, most places are similar to Cangzhou. The only difference is that Zhongzhou is divided into thirty-six counties, each of which is extremely large. Basically, every county has cultivators with great Divine Abilities at the late Nascent Soul stage. I heard that in the core states of Zhongzhou, there are even Soul Formation cultivators."

"Wow! Soul Formation cultivators," Li Fellow Daoist exclaimed. After all, they were considered the top combat force in the cultivation world.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Soul Formation cultivators are elusive and beyond our reach. Even Nascent Soul cultivators rarely encounter them," He Fellow Daoist smiled and said. Soul Formation cultivators are indeed powerful, but ordinary cultivators rarely have the chance to meet them.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know which county we are heading to in Zhongzhou?" Lin Qing asked.

"Oh, about that, we are going to Yuyang County, which is a medium-sized county. The cross-state airship we are currently on belongs to Duobao Trading Company, which is one of the most powerful companies in Yuyang County and its neighboring counties. It is said that they have a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, so their strength is quite formidable."

"I see. What about the other forces in Yuyang County?" Lin Qing asked again.

At this point, He Fellow Daoist smiled and said without embarrassment, "Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense. Although I have been to Zhongzhou several times, I have mostly operated within a range of tens of thousands of miles near Yuyang County, close to Cangzhou. In this area, my sect, Yiqing Sect, is considered a first-class force. We have Nascent Soul cultivators. I joined Yiqing Sect a long time ago and now travel between the two states."

"I see. No wonder your ticket is different from ours. I'm afraid you have some discounts," Li Fellow Daoist said, suddenly remembering something.

"Yes, I do have some discounts," He Fellow Daoist said. The ticket he held was purchased by his sect and was much cheaper than the ones Lin Qing and the others had.

At this point, He Fellow Daoist looked at Lin Qing and said, "Fellow Daoist, with your formidable strength, have you ever considered joining a sect? Although Yiqing Sect is not considered much in Zhongzhou, it ranks among the top ten in Yuyang County. With your cultivation level, becoming an elder after joining is inevitable. If you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you might even become the sect master of Yiqing Sect in the future."

He Fellow Daoist actually had the intention of recruiting Lin Qing for his sect. This was not surprising, as although Zhongzhou was powerful, cultivators at the peak of the Gold Core stage were still rare, at least in Yuyang County.

Lin Qing smiled and politely declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist, but I currently have no intention of joining a sect."

"Haha, it's okay, I was just joking," Fellow Daoist said with a yawn, brushing off the matter. He was just trying his luck after all. With Lin Qing's strength, even if he wanted to join a sect in Zhongzhou, he would have to go through a selection process. How could he join Fellow Daoist's Yi Qingmen just by casually mentioning it?

At this moment, Lin Qing wanted to ask about the Huang family's situation, but after some thought, he ultimately didn't ask.

Firstly, these few people seemed to have limited knowledge and were unlikely to be able to answer. Secondly, they were all boarding the ship together in Cangzhou. If he asked abruptly, he might reveal a flaw.

Just as Fellow Daoist Li was about to say something, the room they were in suddenly trembled slightly. Fellow Daoist He immediately said, "It seems everyone is on board and we're about to depart. Why don't we go outside and take a look? It's stuffy in here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing and the others naturally agreed, and they all went to the deck.

There were many cultivators on the deck at this time, but Lin Qing and the others' cultivation levels were still rare. They quickly found an empty space and looked around.

At this moment, after the airship was filled with people, it flew directly towards Zhongzhou from the sky above the city. In less than fifteen minutes, it arrived in the sky above the boundless sea. It was unknown what method the airship used, but there were no demonic beasts to disturb them in the boundless sea. Instead, it steadily and quickly flew forward.

Looking at the endless sea below, Lin Qing felt an indescribable emotion. Was he really going to Zhongzhou? He felt both excited and anticipatory.

"Do you know? This airship is usually guarded by Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Really? I thought it was only guarded by Gold Core cultivators."

"How could that be? This airship is quite expensive, and Duobao Trading Company is very cautious. They wouldn't let anything happen to the airship."

At this time, Fellow Daoist He and Fellow Daoist Li were discussing the matter of the airship again. Upon hearing that there were Nascent Soul cultivators on the airship, Lin Qing felt reassured.

Since the airship arrived above the boundless sea, all kinds of restrictions were activated, and with the presence of Nascent Soul cultivators on board, there were not many threats that could endanger the airship. This was indeed much safer than flying alone in the boundless sea.

After watching for a while on the deck, Lin Qing felt that there was nothing much to see, so he separated from Fellow Daoist He and the others and returned to his own room.

However, not long after staying in the room, there was a knock on the door.

Thinking that it was Fellow Daoist He and the others, Lin Qing didn't ask much and opened the door. However, the person outside was a cultivator in the mid-stage of Gold Core, and he was extremely unfamiliar to Lin Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, who are you?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

The Gold Core cultivator in the mid-stage smiled and said with an extremely friendly smile, "You must be Fellow Daoist Tian, right? I am in charge of this ship and also a steward of Duobao Trading Company. You can call me Steward Zhou."
