Chapter 90

Under the starry sky, an ancient and elegant treasure ship swept past, disappearing into the vast night.

Chen Xi sat cross-legged in a room inside the treasure ship.

This treasure ship was a gift from the old turtle king with mystic eyes, comfortable and sturdy, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, and was also a fine auxiliary magical treasure.

At this moment, in front of Chen Xi, there were seven or eight storage-type magical treasures, including rings, belts, and bracelets, each shimmering with spiritual light, dazzling and colorful.

"My storage ring contains not only a large pile of spiritual materials but also over thirteen thousand malevolent pearls. There are also eight Xuanming flying swords, an octagonal palace bottle, a purple copper Xuanzhong peak, Leiying King's storage belt, Mojiao King's storage bracelet, Kunpeng King's..."

Chen Xi's divine soul and spiritual thoughts swept over the various storage magical treasures on the ground, where piles of spiritual herbs and trees, mineral materials, and treasures of various colors were stacked like mountains. Most of these treasures were things he had never seen or heard of, making his eyes dazzle and his head spin, but his heart was burning with excitement.

"This time in the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region, I've made a huge profit, truly filling my pockets. The materials like spiritual trees and herbs I can't use myself, but I can exchange them for spirit liquid. As for those magical treasures... I'll pick out the ones useful to me and sell the rest. I should be able to buy more flying swords, magical treasures, and jade slips for sword formations, to greatly enhance my strength!"

Chen Xi thought quickly, his hands not stopping as he began to organize the spoils of this battle.

After a long time, Chen Xi tidied everything up, stood up, and pushed the door open to go out.

Du Qingxi, Duanmu Ze, and Song Lin were all standing at the bow of the ship, observing the direction of flight.

They had been flying for half a day, but what they could see was still a continuous range of mountains, though the mountains were much lower, clearly indicating they were about to fly out of the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region.

However, there was still a major problem: the direction.

They had all been mysteriously transported from the Southern Barbarian Nether Region to the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region, and they couldn't identify which direction led to Songyan City or Longyuan City.

At this moment, they could only follow a straight line, hoping to quickly find a human settlement to confirm their direction.

"Miss Du, Brother Duanmu, Brother Song." Chen Xi's voice came from behind them.

The three turned their heads and looked at Chen Xi in surprise, because since boarding the ship, Chen Xi had stayed in the room and not come out, and the three thought this guy was planning to seclude himself until they reached Songyan City.

"These are your magical treasures, take a look." Chen Xi ignored their gazes, waved his sleeve, and three magical treasures with swirling light floated in front of him. A green light-shooting curved knife, a sword with starlight diffusing, and a strangely shaped, cold hook-like magical treasure.

"My Taiyi Green Lotus Knife!"

"Ah, the Seven Stars Lustrous Rainbow Sword!"

"Heavenly Net Hook, my treasure!"

The three exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief.

These three magical treasures were all of the upper-grade yellow level, and even in their respective families, they were extremely precious. Now, having recovered them, their excitement was evident.

"These are what I found from Mojiao King, check if there is any damage." Chen Xi waved his sleeve, and the three magical treasures flew precisely back to their respective owners.

"Perfectly intact." Du Qingxi glanced at them, and for the first time, a rare smile of happiness appeared on her usually cold, snowy face. "Chen Xi, I don't know how to thank you."

"Yes, in the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region, if it weren't for you, we would probably have been refined into pills. Now you've helped us recover our treasures, it's really..." Duanmu Ze thought of the dangers along the way, and his gratitude towards Chen Xi was immense. By the end, he didn't know how to express it.

"Xiao Zexie, stop being so sappy, okay? We already owe Chen Xi enough, we'll repay him with our lives in the future, right, Chen Xi?" Song Lin said with a grin.

"Get lost, you dirty rat, do you understand the bond between men?" Duanmu Ze glared.

"Hey, Xiao Zexie, you dare to call me not a man? Are you asking for it?" Song Lin suddenly became furious and shouted.

...

Chen Xi smiled, ignoring their argument, and came to the bow of the ship alone, holding a green-skinned gourd, and gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine, his gaze silently looking into the distant night.

From entering the Southern Barbarian Nether Region, the Sword Immortal Cave, and then the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region, it had been almost a full year.

In this year, too many things had happened, and he felt as if he was dancing on the edge of a knife, dangerous and bloody, as if he could die at any moment.

In this perilous and crisis-filled environment, he knew that if it weren't for Ji Yu, he would have died countless times, and now, Ji Yu could no longer leave the cave...

Thinking of this, Chen Xi took another large gulp from the wine gourd, using the thick and spicy wine to ease the gloom and reluctance in his heart.

"Rest assured, Senior Ji Yu. In one year, I have broken through from the innate realm to the five-star Purple Mansion realm, mastered the Dao of Wind in just a few months, and slain the powerful Kunpeng demon king. I can definitely take care of myself and strive to live on!"

At this moment, Chen Xi's eyes shone brightly, and an endless confidence and arrogance surged from his body, like a thousand-hammered treasure sword, unsheathed!

He had resolved his heart's knot.

He had gained confidence.

He was no longer the formerly taciturn and silent youth. In the many dangers and countless killings of the past year, he was gradually walking the path to becoming a peak powerhouse.

Not bound by the past, not afraid of the future!

...

"Chen Xi has changed... His Dao heart has become increasingly powerful, increasingly pure and complete."

Beside him, Du Qingxi had been silently observing Chen Xi, watching him drink, watching him daydream, and watching the powerful confidence surge from his body, feeling a sense of bewilderment.

A year ago, he was just a weak youth at the innate realm, a well-known broom star in Songyan City, busy making talismans, practicing cooking, and unknown to all, mocked, ridiculed, and trampled upon by everyone.

And now, who would dare to look down on him?

In the Sword Immortal Cave, a single word caused a melee, and a few words resolved his crisis, showing his meticulous mind and flawless strategy.

In the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region, he slew the Black Ape King, Leiying King, and Mojiao King, comprehended a complete Dao of Wind, and killed the Kunpeng King in a desperate situation, demonstrating his extraordinary comprehension and rapidly increasing strength.

On Bao Yue Mountain, the grand celebration of ten thousand demons, Mu Kui willingly recognized him as his master, and two demon kings befriended him, making him a natural leader with unparalleled demeanor.

Who would dare to bully such a youth in the future?

Do not mock a poor youth!

The more Du Qingxi thought, the more shocked she became, her emotions fluctuating like the tide, and she was unknowingly entranced.

"Look, there... lights!" At this moment, Duanmu Ze suddenly shouted in surprise.

Whoosh!

All eyes turned in the same direction.

In the endless night, a flicker of firelight appeared in the distance. As they got closer, the firelight resembled a dragon of fire stretching for thousands of miles, clearly a huge city with brilliant lights!
