Chapter four hundred and forty-ninth strange stone
Chapter 449 Strange Stone
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a tall build, a sharp face, and restrained eyes, giving him the impression of being shrewd and resolute.
The visitor's name was Zhou Haibo, a businessman who traveled between the two continents. This huge ship and the two ships behind it were the property of his family. Li Peicheng got his permission to catch a ride on the ship, and of course the cost was not low.
Although Zhou Haibo was just a secular businessman, Li Peicheng did not look down upon him at all. On the contrary, he secretly admired this man who dared to take this way of making money despite Yue Youxing's current backward navigation technology.
"Haha, I've been suffocating in the room for too long. Come out and get some air." Li Peicheng looked back and said.
Zhou Haibo stared at Li Peicheng intently, a look of determination flashed across his face, and said: "I offend you, I wonder if Brother Li is a cultivator?"
Li Peicheng was not surprised at all that Zhou Haibo asked this question. Firstly, a businessman who dared to venture back and forth between the two continents must be a well-informed person. Secondly, Zhou Haibo's cultivation was considered to be at the pinnacle among secular people, reaching the level of innateness.
It is estimated that he will be able to reach the Qi Condensation stage in the near future. Seeing that Li Peicheng has not left the house for a month, neither eating nor drinking, it is strange that he cannot be suspicious in his heart.
Li Peicheng was guarding against those powerful people, but he didn't need to be secretive about people like Zhou Haibo, so Li Peicheng nodded with a smile.
Although Zhou Haibo had doubts in his heart, he was not sure after all. Now that he saw Li Peicheng nodding, he couldn't help but feel shocked and said: "My eyes are clumsy and I almost missed the master." He waved his hand, and the entourage behind him handed over a brocade bag.
Li Peicheng didn't need to look at it to know that the brocade bag contained the cost of his boat trip and a luminous pearl.
Sure enough, Zhou Haibo took the brocade bag and presented it with both hands, saying: "Brother Li, please take back this thing."
Li Peicheng glanced at Zhou Haibo and said with a smile: "This is the shipping fee, there is no reason to take it back!"
After speaking, Li Peicheng turned his head and still stood proudly on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance.
Seeing this, Zhou Haibo threw the brocade bag in his hand to his entourage, waved his hand to ask him to leave, and then walked to Li Peicheng's side and said insinuatingly: "Brother Li has been able to live without grain for such a long time, I'm afraid he has gotten a glimpse of the secret of the golden elixir."
!”
Li Peicheng smiled and said nothing. He knew why Zhou Haibo had such a guess. In Yueyouxing, only monks at the golden elixir stage and above can control the air and fly. In fact, Li Peicheng knows better that there is no way to cross this vast ocean without the cultivation of the late golden elixir stage.
I'm afraid there are also many difficulties. Li Peicheng still needs to take a boat to cross eastward. In Zhou Haibo's opinion, he must be a first-class figure in the Qi Condensation period.
When Zhou Haibo saw Li Peicheng smiling and silent, he knew that he had guessed a little bit, so he couldn't help but become respectful. He had been practicing hard for more than thirty years, and now he could only get a glimpse of the mystery of the Qi Condensation Stage, but unfortunately he was always one step away from it.
He gave up a comfortable and luxurious life. He traveled back and forth between the two continents and experienced changes in life and death on the sea. In addition to the family background, the other reason was that he wanted to go out and seek opportunities to break through the innate realm. Now he met Li Peicheng. Although not
He is not a great man who flies into the sky and escapes from the earth, but seeing that he has reached the Qi Condensation stage at such a young age is enough to make Zhou Haibo, who is eager to seek enlightenment, secretly happy.
"I'm so envious of Brother Li for achieving this at such a young age. I've been practicing hard and groping for decades. To this day, I still can't figure out how to turn gas into liquid." Zhou Haibo looked at the sea and sighed.
Li Peicheng secretly laughed in his heart. Zhou Haibo was a smart man this week. He knew that asking for truth rashly might offend people, so he beat around the bush to win his sympathy, so that he could unintentionally reveal some of the secrets of the gas condensation liquid.
"You can't achieve the Tao without obsession, but you can't achieve it if you are too obsessed. Brother Zhou is in such a vast, gorgeous and spectacular sea. Don't be afraid to look at the sea when you have free time!" Li Peicheng said.
Zhou Haibo couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw Li Peicheng making such empty remarks. He knew that Li Peicheng had seen through his mind and didn't want to reveal the secret to him, but Zhou Haibo didn't show it on his face and just echoed: "Brother Li is right."
Zhou Haibo didn't know that Li Peicheng was not a Qi Condensation Stage monk at all, but a truly powerful person. Either he didn't give advice, or if he did, it would be in vain.
This week, Haibo was too persistent, focusing on practicing hard and seeking opportunities. Instead, he forgot to look at the world. His heart was firmly bound in a narrow space, so he stayed at the innate realm and found it difficult to move forward. Li Peicheng pointed out his shortcomings sharply. It's a pity.
But he didn't know how to understand it, and he missed a good opportunity.
When Li Peicheng heard what Zhou Haibo said, he knew that he did not understand the deep meaning of his words, but he did not say any more and just continued to look at the sea and let his thoughts wander.
Zhou Haibo was obviously unwilling to give up, but he was afraid that being too tight would cause Li Peicheng's dissatisfaction, so he grabbed the polished copper guardrail and stood quietly, looking at the sea with Li Peicheng.
Suddenly, five black warships appeared like ghosts around the fleet, and a ferocious sea snake floated on the stern of the ship as high as a tower.
Screams pierced the sky over the sea, "Pirates, sea snake pirates!"
Zhou Haibo's expression changed drastically, he showed a wry smile to Li Peicheng, and said: "Brother Li, I'm afraid it's going to be more difficult this time!" Please help me, brother Li.
Li Peicheng knew that the fleet was equipped with many people and weapons who were proficient in fighting, and Zhou Haibo was also a powerful character. It should be difficult for ordinary pirates to rob them, otherwise Zhou Haibo would have been buried in the sea over the years. But when Zhou Haibo heard about the sea snake pirates
His face immediately changed. He knew that Li Peicheng would not stand idly by but still said dangerous words. This shows that this sea snake pirate is extraordinary.
However, no matter how powerful the other party was, in Li Peicheng's eyes he was just a fleas, so he was still calm and unfazed when he heard this.
"This pirate is different from other pirates. They are extremely ferocious and never leave any of their men alive. Moreover, their leader, the one-eyed snake king, is very powerful. It is said that he learned some skills from a cultivator and is able to walk in the air. I am afraid that he almost can reach the golden elixir.
It's a great road. So Brother Li must fight with all his strength and never look down on women!" Seeing that Li Peicheng didn't take it seriously, Zhou Haibo had to say solemnly.
During the time Zhou Haibo was speaking, the combatants in the fleet were already holding swords, guns, swords and spears, and had their crossbows fully drawn. They were nervously looking at the pirate ship approaching like a ghost in the distance, preparing for a brutal battle.
When Li Peicheng heard this, he looked into the distance and saw a one-eyed man looking towards this side with a ferocious expression. The people behind him were all dressed in black, waving swords in the sky, yelling ferociously, with both hands on their faces.
His eyes were fierce.
Li Peicheng's eyes flashed with cold light, and murderous intent surged in his heart.
"Humph, today I will eliminate harm for the people!" Li Peicheng said coldly. As he said that, Li Peicheng squeezed the Thunder Jue, and then pointed to the distance. Suddenly, the sky that was gradually darkening suddenly became extremely bright, and white clouds rolled.
Several thunders thundered down from the sky, like thousands of horses galloping, bringing up hurricanes wherever they passed, and the sea roared into the sky.
Everyone on the boat looked in horror at the thunder that suddenly fell from the sky in the distance. The power of heaven and earth made them feel terrified in their hearts, as if the doomsday was coming. Without a sound, someone threw away their weapons, knelt down and bowed to the sky, mouthing.
There are words in it.
The people in the fleet were like this, let alone the pirates. They were running around with their heads in their hands, crying, jumping into the sea, and screaming. The one-eyed man showed a look of fear, and his toes were on the deck.
He kicked, trying to escape from that thunderous blow.
It's just that he, a mere monk in the Qi Condensation Stage, could not dodge the magic attack of Li Peicheng, a master. As soon as he jumped up, he felt as if the top of a mountain was collapsing. He slumped down on the deck helplessly, watching the dazzling purple thunder change more and more in his eyes.
The bigger it gets, the closer it gets.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of bombing resounded on the sea, and the pirate ship that appeared like a ghost disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The sea was silent except for the sea breeze, which blew over the sea and made the canvas rustle.
With a plop, Zhou Haibo knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Li Peicheng with excitement on his face. His lips trembled and he said, "Thank you so much for your life-saving grace! Thank you for your life-saving grace! Please give me some advice!"
The people on the boat saw Zhou Haibo kowtow to Li Peicheng and utter life-saving words from real people. These people have been wandering on the sea all year round. Although they are mortals, they have heard many legends. After hearing these words, some people with bright minds suddenly understood what was going on.
The same thing happened, and they all kowtowed and knelt down to Li Peicheng.
Li Peicheng was most afraid of this kind of scene. Now that Zhou Haibo had made a scene, everyone was bowing to him, thinking that he was a god descending to earth. He immediately glared at Zhou Haibo angrily and said angrily: "If you don't let them all get up, what are you going to do?"
go!"
Zhou Haibo didn't dare to disobey at this time. He hurriedly stood up and asked everyone to return to their seats. Then he walked tremblingly behind Li Peicheng and waited with his hands tied, not even daring to breathe.
"How long is the distance to Tianhong Continent?" Li Peicheng asked, already thinking about leaving.
"There are still about fifteen days of sailing to Tianhong Continent." Zhou Haibo replied respectfully.
Li Peicheng nodded and said: "You and I are somewhat destined. I might as well remind you that it will be of endless benefit to look at the sea when you have time!"
When Zhou Haibo heard this, he naturally realized that he had just missed a huge opportunity. If he had not underestimated these words just now, but had thought about it seriously, maybe this expert would have given him some advice. Now the expert's words have reached this point.
For his sake, he was obviously planning to fly away.
Sure enough, Li Peicheng said again: "I'm leaving. Goodbye Brother Zhou."
Zhou Haibo was in a state of confusion. He didn't know how to keep this master. In his desperation, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind and he hurriedly said: "Master, please stay. I have been wandering on the sea all year round. Once I got into trouble on a small island. I accidentally
I found a strange stone, and I dare to ask a real person to help identify it."
