Avenue Stowaway

Chapter 182: Being a Boatman

Kong Fang looked at the two men calmly and asked, "If you want to ride on my ship, tell me what you can give?"

After hearing what Kong Fang said, the two monks were not disappointed, but were a little surprised. Kong Fang did not refuse directly but asked them what price they could pay, which showed that they still had hope of boarding this strange treasure ship. As long as they could leave this relic and not be trapped to death or killed by the formation, it would be a very good ending. How could some treasures be compared with life?

"Except for the life-saving item bestowed by the sect and the weapon and armor on this junior, you can take any other treasures you like, even all of them." The older monk took a storage ring off his finger and held it in his hand.

The elder monk seemed very generous and took out most of the treasures on his body for Kong Fang to choose. He was willing to let Kong Fang take all of them, but he actually had some reservations when he said that. In the eyes of the elder monk, Kong Fang, who was sitting cross-legged on the forbidden Qianlan ship, must be a senior master. As for how this master entered the Qingtian Tomb, the elder monk was unwilling to guess. After all, the Qingtian Tomb’s forbidden air people still have treasure ships that can fly freely in the Qingtian Tomb, so it is not difficult to sneak into the Qingtian Tomb. This senior master will definitely not covet the few treasures on his body. The more generous he appears, the more embarrassed the other party will be to take more.

"A life-saving item?" Kong Fang did not look at the storage ring held in the hand of the older monk. Instead, he stared at the older monk and muttered something meaningful.

The older monk's face turned bitter, and he quickly explained, "It's not that I don't want to offer my life-saving item, but the life-saving item I got from the sect was refined using the 'blood sacrifice method' and then integrated into my body. I can't give it to you anymore."

Kong Fang's expression froze. He had heard of the 'Blood Sacrifice Method' from his master Cangye. Once the 'Blood Sacrifice Method' is used to refine a treasure, the treasure can only be used by the person who refined it, and other cultivators cannot use it. Once the owner dies, the treasure refined by the 'Blood Sacrifice Method' will also turn into ashes.

The blood sacrifice method is generally used to refine the "Life Tablet". Once the Life Tablet turns into ashes, it means that the owner of the "Life Tablet" is dead.

However, the "Blood Sacrifice Method" is not a good thing. Once the treasure refined by the "Blood Sacrifice Method" is damaged, the owner will also be harmed. Therefore, except for refining the "Life Monument", few monks use the "Blood Sacrifice Method" to refine treasures.

"Your sect is really ruthless." Kong Fang sighed.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. The sect just doesn't want us disciples to rely too much on life-saving items, so they let us use the 'blood sacrifice method' for the ritual." The elderly monk explained respectfully.

Kong Fang was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Is this how the sects under the rule of the Spiritual God Sect act? It makes sense that each one is stronger than the other. In order to hone the disciples, they would rather use the 'blood sacrifice method' to sacrifice life-saving items. The Weapon Sect is just a small corner, and there is still a big gap between it and these sects that have surrendered to the Spiritual God Sect."

The life-saving item of the older monk could not be obtained, so naturally the life-saving item of the skinny monk next to him could not be obtained either. Kong Fang no longer thought about the life-saving items of the two people. With a wave of his hand, the storage ring in the hand of the older monk immediately flew to Kong Fang on the Forbidden Qianlan Ship.

Actually, all of this was just the elder monks' overthinking. Kong Fang was not some senior master. On the contrary, Kong Fang's cultivation was even weaker than theirs, and he was only at the peak of the Spiritual Realm. Naturally, Kong Fang, a 'senior' at a lower level, would not refuse any treasure. If someone gave him a treasure for free, wouldn't it be stupid to refuse it?

Kong Fang used a secret method to restrain his aura. With the cultivation level of these two people, they were unable to tell how powerful Kong Fang was, and naturally they would not know that the senior master in front of them was actually an impostor.

Kong Fang checked the storage ring of the older monk and found that there were still many precious treasures in it. He immediately put the storage ring on his hand.

The older monk and the thin monk both stared in amazement as Kong Fang put on the storage ring on his hand. This senior monk was really rude. How come he didn't have the demeanor of a senior monk at all?

"Huh? Are you reluctant to exchange these treasures for the chance to take the ship?" Kong Fang asked, glancing at the two of them.

"No, no." The elder monk denied hastily, "I've already said that you can take whatever you like, even if you take everything, as long as my brother and I can leave this ruins by boat." The elder monk then turned to the thin monk beside him and said, "Second brother, give your storage ring to you, so that you can choose the treasure you like."

The older monk's heart bleeds when he says this, but no matter how important the treasure is, it is not as important as his life.

They were originally planning to go to different areas outside the ruins to hone their skills, but they didn't want to lose their lives in such an extremely dangerous area as the ruins. If they were lucky, they might be able to get some treasures in other areas outside the ruins to make up for their losses.

The thin monk reluctantly took the storage ring off his finger and was about to hand it to Kong Fang.

Unexpectedly, Kong Fang shook his hand and said, "I have already collected your treasures. As for your treasures, you can keep them for yourself."

The old monk and the thin monk looked at Kong Fang in astonishment. After they reacted, they were immediately filled with joy and thanked him repeatedly. At first, they thought that this senior was an extremely greedy person, but they didn't expect that this senior was still a bit of a master. Only using one person's treasure to exchange for the opportunity for the two of them to leave the ruins, the old monk and the thin monk were still very satisfied.

After the two jumped onto the Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship, the deck seemed a little small, so Kong Fang could only make the Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship bigger. There were some independent rooms in the Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship, and Kong Fang asked the two to choose one at random, but the two did not enter those rooms, but stood obediently behind Kong Fang.

The Forbidden Thousand Waves ship then set off again. Kong Fang, who was sitting on the deck, said to the two people behind him, "I am going to look for a treasure now, so I will not leave the ruins for the time being. I will take you out when I leave the ruins. Do you have any objection?"

"No." The older monk shook his head quickly, and then asked carefully: "I wonder what treasure you are looking for, senior. Maybe I can help you."

Kong Fang was delighted and thought to himself, "It doesn't matter if they know the news about the Five Pole Differentiation Mirror. Anyway, they don't know why I am looking for it. Moreover, if they really know where the Five Pole Differentiation Mirror is, I can save a lot of time. After I get the Five Pole Differentiation Mirror, I will return to Qi Sect immediately. Even if they want to find me then, they won't be able to find me."

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Kong Fang smiled and said, "I'm here to find an innate treasure. That innate treasure is called the Five-Polar Differentiation Mirror. I wonder if you have heard of it?" Kong Fang turned around and looked at the expressions of the two men.

The thin monk looked puzzled, while the older monk frowned slightly and said, "I have heard of the Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror, but I don't know if it is in this relic. I hope you will forgive me for not being able to help you."

Kong Fang had been mentally prepared for this result. He waved his hand nonchalantly and turned back to continue checking the area where the Forbidden Qianlan Ship passed.

"Senior, I don't know the news about the Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror, but others may know it." The elderly monk suddenly suggested respectfully.

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Kong Fang's face was calm.

"Senior, this ruins is an extremely dangerous place. Once you enter the Qingtian Tomb and are teleported in, it will be difficult to get out. Of course, for a strong man like you, it is easy." The older monk did not forget to flatter him. "The monks who enter the Qingtian Tomb to hone their skills will generally receive life-saving items from the sect, but if you are teleported into the ruins, it will be very difficult to get out. The ruins are too deep that even the disciples of the Lingshen Sect cannot get out, let alone the disciples of other sects. Therefore, there must be a lot of monks trapped in the ruins. If the senior rescues these people, not only can you find out the news about the Five Polar Division Mirror from them, but you can also get a lot of treasures."

Kong Fang's eyes lit up, and he turned around and looked at the older monk in surprise. Kong Fang found that he was really a talented person, and he really cared about what his 'senior' was worried about.

If Kong Fang did as the older monk said, he could kill two birds with one stone. Not only could he obtain a large number of treasures, but he could also find out the news about the Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror. This would be much more useful than Kong Fang searching one place at a time.

"Okay, if you can find out information about the Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror, I will return your storage ring to you." Kong Fang promised happily.

"No, no, that was my gift to you as a gift to you. Please don't say anything about giving it back to me." The older monk looked terrified.

Kong Fang took a deep look at the older monk and found that he knew how to advance and retreat. Although Kong Fang had never thought of denying the older monk's treasures, nor did he think of getting rid of the two men afterwards, the other party was worried and suspicious. In this case, Kong Fang did not say anything about returning it, so that the two of them could feel more at ease.

This time, Kong Fang's target changed from the area where treasures might be hidden to the area where monks were hidden. In order not to miss some monks hiding in the collapsed ruins, the older monk and the thin monk would deliberately make some loud noises every once in a while to attract some hidden monks out.

It's true that their method was very effective. After Kong Fang had been traveling along the ruins for nearly a month, the Forbidden Thousand Waves Ship had become more than ten feet large. Eleven people stood on the deck, and one of them had been trapped in the ruins for six or seven years. Although the monk who had been trapped for six or seven years had also advanced a considerable distance outside the ruins, at his speed, he would not be able to get out in another six or seven years, and he might not be able to avoid dangers during these six or seven years.

Therefore, any cultivator who discovered the forbidden Qianlan ship was willing to hand over his treasure in exchange for a chance to ride the ship. No one wanted to be trapped in this relic again.

Qingtian Tomb was in a no-fly zone, but there was a treasure ship that could fly freely in Qingtian Tomb, which shocked the monks on board, and they became more and more in awe of Kong Fang.

Looking at the increasing number of cultivators on the Forbidden Qianlan ship, Kong Fang laughed at himself in his heart, "It seems that I have the potential to be a boatman."
