AST 2450 - Nine Moons Domain, Wenren Wugou? (1/2)

”I can. I can send you guys over directly to the Nine Moons Domain's borders.” The lady answered.

”Then we'll have to thank Senior. However, you'll have to withstand the agony of having 10,000 arrows piercing your heart if you do so.”

”This bit of pain is nothing. I've been through it countless times.”

Qing Shui was stunned and didn't ask any further. They were in the sky above the Death Ghost Ship and faint black Qi swirled around them. Qing Shui wasn't afraid that the lady would pull any tricks as there was no need for her to go to such troubles.

Then, with a slight moment of blurriness, everyone appeared in another place.

They were still out, in the Sea of Death, and there was no sight of the shore.

”I can only send you up until here. Head north and in three days, you'll be able to enter the Nine Moons Domain,” The lady said to Qing Shui.

”Senior, thank you for the trouble. You'll have a remodeled body very soon but you will still need to spend several years on this ship. I'll give this as a gift to you. It might be of use to you.” Qing Shui gave an Interspatial Silk Sachet to her. There was food, wine, medicinal pills, fruits, and other things inside.

The lady didn't refuse and gave a word of thanks before disappearing with the Death Ghost Ship.

After seeing the Death Ghost Ship's disappearance, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They had avoided the most dangerous place and were now heading northward.

Nine Moons Domain!

There were nine moons the size of a person's head in the sky, shining bright. It was the Nine Moons Domain and regardless if it was in the day or at night, the nine moons would be up in the sky. If this sight was seen back in Qing Shui's previous life, it would be extremely astonishing. People might even find it terrifying. However, it was viewed as the most natural thing here.

The air was extremely fresh, filled with spiritual Qi that seeped straight into people's hearts. There was an indescribable sense of contentment and everyone was in an especially good mood.

After crossing the ocean domain, they arrived in a city, found a restaurant to take a quick break before they moved on with their journey.

Great South City!

It was an unrefined name. It was the extreme south of the Nine Moons Domain, a region called the Grand Cang Dynasty.

The Grand Cang Dynasty was one of the countless influences in the Nine Moons Domain. It wasn't even considered an Empire by the locals, but was just a small dynasty that was a subsidiary of the Grand Tang Empire.

The group appeared in the Great South City. With so few of them around, they managed to avoid causing any commotions. After arriving, Qing Shui's heart was very calm. He didn't have any pressing matters at the moment, but moving around in a city like this was disadvantageous for everyone's cultivation.

”Hmmm?” Qing Shui suddenly looked toward the distance and saw a familiar figure.

The figure entered a weapon’s shop. It seemed to be a blacksmith store.

”Go and look for a manor in the vicinity. I'll go and join you guys in a while.”

”Alright!”

Qing Shui grabbed the two ladies' hands, ”I think I just saw a familiar face. I'll go and take a look.”

”Mmm, go ahead. We'll go look for a place to stay first. Be careful.”

”Yeah, I know.” Qing Shui grabbed their hands for a while before he headed to the blacksmith store.

Chengnan Blacksmith Store!

It could be that there were many risky places around the Great South City, given the many blacksmith stores and medicinal stores. There were probably many people who required weapons or got hurt.

Qing Shui walked into the Chengnan Blacksmith Store.

It wasn't very big but it wasn’t very small either. Qing Shui took a glance and it appeared that there wasn’t much good stuff around. However, it was sufficient for the use of ordinary cultivator. The weapon’s hall had all sorts of weapons laid out, with not less than 1,000 pieces. The many weapons were placed on the rows of weapon racks.

Ding ding...

Heavy blacksmithing sounds rang out from the inside. Qing Shui looked around and didn't find the figure he saw earlier. He was very sure that the person was still around and thus he wasn't anxious at all. He looked around at the weapons here while paying attention to the surroundings.
