I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 408: Invitation and Demonic Beasts

"So it's Brother Zhou, I wonder what brings you here," Lin Qing said upon hearing Brother Zhou's introduction.

Upon hearing Brother Zhou's introduction, Lin Qing had a sudden realization and came up with a guess.

And as he had guessed, Brother Zhou wasted no time in inviting Lin Qing: "Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense. Our Duobao Trading Company has always had a great demand for high-level cultivators like yourself. Joining our company as a guest official would bring you many benefits. I can introduce you to our company, which is located in Yuyang County."

Listening to Brother Zhou's words, Lin Qing smiled and didn't interrupt him. However, after he finished speaking, Lin Qing calmly replied, "Thank you for your appreciation, Fellow Daoist. However, I currently have no intention of joining any forces."

"It's alright, it's alright. Once Fellow Daoist arrives in Yuyang County, you will see the influence of our Duobao Trading Company. If you ever change your mind, we would be extremely welcoming," Brother Zhou said nonchalantly. After a few more words, he bid farewell and left.

After Brother Zhou left, Lin Qing's face turned slightly cold. He knew that the Duobao Trading Company had probably set their sights on him when he purchased the ship ticket. Otherwise, they wouldn't have approached him so quickly. At this moment, Lin Qing was somewhat glad that he didn't use his real name. In fact, when he bought the ship ticket, he had considered reverting to his real name instead of using the name Tian Sazi. After all, this place was far away from Yunzhou.

But a sense of caution made him use the name Tian Sazi, and it turned out to be useful this time.

If he had used his real name, although the chances of being discovered were slim, the Lin family's reputation in Yunzhou could potentially be leaked. On the other hand, there were not many people who knew about Tian Sazi in Yunzhou.

After Brother Zhou left, Lin Qing didn't go out again. He spent the following time quietly in his room.

With Lin Qing's strength, it would take about a little over a month to fly from Cangzhou to Zhongzhou. However, although the ship had strong defenses, its speed was a bit slow. It would take about three months. Although the time was not short, Lin Qing could accept it.

In this way, the ship flew for more than two months, and the distance to Zhongzhou was getting closer and closer. The cultivators on the ship were getting more and more excited. After all, for many cultivators, Zhongzhou was a place they had longed for.

However, Lin Qing remained calm and stayed in his room. Since Brother Zhou came to visit, he had stopped wandering around. For him, safety came first now, and he could learn about other things once he arrived in Zhongzhou.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Lin Qing was shaken by a loud noise in his room. His face changed, but he pushed open the door and walked outside.

There were more than ten superior rooms where he was staying, and now everyone came out, not understanding what had happened.

"Could it be a demonic beast attack? It's impossible. I've taken this ship several times, and it has never encountered powerful demonic beasts. The weaker ones wouldn't cause such a commotion," Fellow Daoist He said in surprise.

"Should we go out and take a look?" Fellow Daoist Li, who was beside him, asked.

"No need. The superior rooms where we are located have the strongest defense on the ship. There's no need to worry at all. If we go outside, who knows what might happen. It's better to stay here," Fellow Daoist He retorted. In his opinion, staying in the superior rooms was the safest option.

However, Fellow Daoist Li was still worried. After all, not knowing anything while staying here was really unsettling.

He turned his head and saw Lin Qing, who was lost in thought. With a flicker in his eyes, he invited, "Fellow Daoist, how about we go out and take a look?"

Upon hearing this invitation, Lin Qing nodded and smiled, "Sure."

In his heart, Lin Qing actually had a similar thought as Fellow Daoist Li. Regardless of the situation, they had to take a look at what it was.

So the two of them went to the deck of the spaceship again, but Fellow Daoist He did not follow. As soon as they arrived on the deck, Lin Qing was surprised to see that the spaceship had stopped at some point, and in front of them was a winged monster with a wingspan of nearly a hundred zhang. It was about the same size as the spaceship, and at this moment, the monster was motionless, seemingly confronting the spaceship.

"This..."

Fellow Daoist Li beside him was extremely surprised, but Lin Qing was also surprised, although his face did not show any change.

Under these circumstances, the cultivators on the spaceship became restless, but Lin Qing was puzzled. Why didn't the spaceship react at all? Just as Lin Qing was thinking about this, a white-bearded old man in a blue robe flew out from the spaceship.

This old man looked no different from an ordinary old man, but Lin Qing could sense an unusual aura from him. It seemed that this was the Nascent Soul cultivator on the spaceship.

What Lin Qing didn't know was that after this old man flew out and looked at the huge monster in front of him, he frowned for a moment.

"Why did this Peng Bird suddenly appear? Although with its mid-Nascent Soul strength, our spaceship and I are not afraid, if a real fight breaks out, I'm afraid the spaceship will be seriously damaged, and many cultivators inside will probably suffer losses. However, the most important thing now is to figure out the intention of this Peng Bird. After all, it generally doesn't actively trouble humans."

After that, the Nascent Soul cultivator actually communicated with the Peng Bird through some unknown method. The content of their communication was unknown to others, but not long after, the Peng Bird seemed to have received some message and flew away directly.

Seeing this, all the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lin Qing felt a bit puzzled, he was still happy that it was resolved so easily.

Then he glanced at the Nascent Soul old man. It seemed that the strength of the Duobao Trading Company was indeed beyond his imagination.

"It seems that everything is fine now," Fellow Daoist Li said with a smile.

After saying that, he and Lin Qing returned to the superior room. However, Fellow Daoist He did not enter the room at this time, but waited outside. When they came back, he asked about the monster outside and learned that it was a Peng Bird. He showed a thoughtful expression.

"Fellow Daoist He, do you know something?" Fellow Daoist Li asked curiously.

At this moment, Fellow Daoist He frowned slightly and whispered, "To be honest, I also heard it from someone else. It is said that there were more than one trading company that used to travel between Zhongzhou and Cangzhou. However, the other trading companies were gradually attacked by monsters and suffered heavy losses, so they stopped this business. Only the Duobao Trading Company has been coming to our two states, and they rarely encounter Nascent Soul monsters. Even if they do, they can easily resolve it."

"You mean, the Duobao Trading Company is related to these monsters?" Fellow Daoist Li couldn't help but think of this point and said in surprise.

Lin Qing also became curious.

Fellow Daoist He did not deny it, "Yes, many people in Zhongzhou think so, but the key is that no one dares to be certain. It's just a rumor circulating in secret. We should say less about it."
