From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 21: Spirit Boat

Qingdu Island, one of the seven isles of the Li Family, has the highest population of mortals.

The waters around this island are broad and open, with few hidden rocks, making it a natural deep-water ferry.

Every early morning, ships laden with goods set sail from here, heading straight for Baqing Square, with people coming and going, buzzing with activity.

This day, dawn has just begun to break.

Li Quanqing had already risen, pushing off in his fishing boat to the agreed spot.

The early morning sea breeze is damp, cold, and briny, with thick fog billowing like the gaping mouth of a Fog Demon, blowing right into the harbor.

The sun had not yet risen, and the dock was already bustling, with many mortals moving goods to and fro, perhaps having stayed awake all night.

Li Quanqing watched these busy individuals, appearing inconspicuous, yet it was they who upheld the prosperity of the Cultivation World.

"Junior Brother is quite early."

Ripples danced on the water as Li Quanshu arrived in a white jade-like boat, dressed in a lake-blue fairy gown, radiant and magnificent.

"Senior Sister is really lavish to have a Spirit Boat."

Li Quanqing looked at the White Jade Boat beneath the young girl and exclaimed in amazement.

The Spirit Boat was huge, spanning over twenty to thirty yards, and one could not tell what material it was made of. The densely packed array patterns covering every inch of the boat's body dazzled with treasure light, visibly an Immortal Magical Treasure.

Compared with this boat, Li Quanqing's old fishing boat was practically indistinguishable from trash.

"Just a Low Grade Spirit Boat, and it was second-hand when I bought it. I really felt the pinch shelling out the Spirit Stones that day," Li Quanshu said half-jokingly, her green locks tossed by the sea breeze, her figure svelte and her smile playful.

As a mid-to-large-sized Magic Artifact, and a must-have for ocean-faring Cultivators, the price has always been exorbitantly high.

This single Spirit Boat's price would start from a hundred Spirit Stones and go upwards.

Wuu wuu!

The deep, resonant sound of the signal horn echoed, somber and forceful, lingering over the vast ocean.

It was the signal for the Family's cargo ship to set sail.

The horn's call woke the slumbering sun, dispelling the thick fog, revealing the massive object originally hidden within.

It was also a Spirit Boat, but mountainous in size, the towering boat like a wall standing before one's eyes.

Endless Array patterns twinkled with Spirit Light, emanating an aura so frightening and astonishing that it almost felt suffocating, like facing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

A Second Rank large Spirit Boat!

This was Li Quanqing's first time seeing such a colossal object, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

The boat's Array hummed imposingly, each strike probably on par with Qi Refining Perfection!

The mortals shouted as they withdrew to the docks, gathered in clusters, preparing to drink their morning swill and head home for a deep sleep.

Their task was completed, but for the Cultivators, the journey had just begun.

Hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators steered their boats, consciously gathering around the large Spirit Boat, like a school of fish guarding a giant whale.

Among them were members of the Li Family, as well as affiliated smaller clans, all ready to catch a ride on this favorable wind.

"Junior Brother, on board!"

Li Quanshu patted her own Spirit Boat, which had plenty of space.

Li Quanqing was not one to be pretentious. He entrusted his fishing boat to the dock's berth and consciously stepped onto the White Jade Boat.

His footing was as stable as if on dry land.

Wuu wuu!

The large Spirit Boat sounded the horn once more, with flags adorned with the Green Jade Li Family's fish and dragon emblem rising from various parts of the ship, slowly setting sail.

The White Jade Spirit Boat blended into the fleet, enveloped by a ring of Spirit Light, cutting through the waves with such an ease that even the incoming sea breeze softened, enviable to all onlookers.

"Junior Brother, if you don't have a Spirit Boat and wish to travel to Baqing Square alone in the future, you can take this Second Rank Spirit Boat, although the tickets are a bit pricey," Li Quanshu said, considerate and not wanting the atmosphere in the boat to become awkward.

Li Quanqing heard this but only smiled without speaking.

With his calm disposition, he had no interest in running about each day; just staying by the fishing pond, opportunities were boundless.

The mountain-like Spirit Boat slowly picked up speed, causing the sea to rumble thunderously, leaving behind a series of mountainous white waves.

Baoqing Square is three thousand eight hundred miles away from Green Jade Islands, and it can be reached in just four hours.

Li Quanshu's mana is no longer sufficient to support the high speed of the Spirit Boat.

As she had anticipated, she took out a few Spirit Stones, ready to place them into the recess at the center of the boat.

"Let me give it a try."

Li Quanqing employed the Water Control Skill, manipulating the water on both sides of the boat.

The sea water ahead of the Spirit Boat automatically parted, while at the stern, huge waves formed, as if a giant hand was pushing them swiftly forward.

It was merely a Basic Magic, yet in his hands, it exhibited an entirely opposite and astonishing power.

"What an exquisite use of the technique, to have cultivated the Water Control Skill to such a level!"

Li Quanshu's eyes sparkled with admiration, as she saw the young clan member before her as a genius who could do no wrong.

"Qi Refining Fourth Level..."

The girl sensed the openly revealed aura of cultivation from the boy and secretly sighed.

She had struggled with this bottleneck for over a year, only managing a hard-earned breakthrough half a month ago.

Is the gap between Spirit Roots truly insurmountable?

The two took turns operating the Spirit Boat, switching whenever their mana was depleted by a third.

Although they had the family fleet for protection, Li Quanqing stayed on guard out of habit.

Midway, they unexpectedly encountered another large Spirit Boat coming from the direction of Baoqing Square, a testament to the Li Family's wealth.

In fact, Li Quanqing turned out to be a bit overly cautious.

The thousands of miles of sea passed in a flash, with no accidents occurring.

Various islands dotted the journey like stars in the sky, with boats departing on their own and new Cultivators joining along the way.

There were no blind robbers or Demon Beasts craving human flesh jumping out.

Within these thousands of miles of sea, the Green Jade Li Family are the undeniable overlords.

No matter what kind of demons or imps, with one collision from the mountainous Spirit Boat, all will turn to ash.

Finally, a lush and verdant giant island appeared at the end of their sight, its green shade visible from a great distance.

Baoqing Square, they arrived.

Still a hundred miles away from the Square, Li Quanshu used her mana to steer, and the Spirit Boat veered off the course with a turn.

Li Quanqing had expected this.

That Xie family clan member was not in the Square, but lived on a nearby Spirit Island.

Islands proliferated around Baoqing Square, favored by many Cultivators for their Cave Mansions, offering long-term rental services.

This was Li Quanqing's greatest dream, to buy a Spirit Island of his own, free and unfettered.

"My sister here is a true direct lineage member of the Xie family, with no low status, junior brother, don't lose the proper decorum later."

Li Quanshu tidied up her appearance, reminding him once again.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I know what I'm doing."

Li Quanqing looked into the distance, and amidst the azure vastness, a brilliant red caught his eye.

It was an island planted full of maple trees, square in shape, like a boat hull, named Red Maple Island.

Now deep in autumn, the maple leaves were at their reddest, blazing like flames, dazzling to those who drew near.

"Distinguished guests, my Family Head has been awaiting your arrival."

With a token, Li Quanshu entered into the Island Protection Array Formation, and two charming maids came to greet them, their features delicate and endearing.

"What a wonderful place!"

Li Quanqing walked on a jade stone-paved path, filled with abundant Spiritual Energy, the scenery entrancing, definitely concealing a High Grade Spirit Vein.

The rumbling sound of water reached their ears, and as they turned a corner, the view suddenly opened up.

A jade belt-like waterfall cascaded down, tumbling into a pool below, with pavilions and towers lining the banks, serene and pleasant.

A young girl in a bright red robe sat in a pavilion, looking at them, her beauty when she smiled was beyond description:

"Fellow daoists who have traveled from afar, please drink this cup to the full, washing away the dust of the journey!"
