"Me...? I'm not from any sect. And I'm not a famous person in any way. I'm only a person of the Blueland."

Huh...?

"What did you say just now? You're from Blueland?" The elder was greatly shocked by Zheng-Fu's answer. He thought if Zheng-Fu did not belong to any sect, at least he definitely had to be a descendant of a famous big clan, but Zheng-Fu was nothing that matched the elder's idea at all.

And what shocked the elder the most was the place where Zheng-Fu came from, because in his memories, Blueland was the weakest and smallest kingdom among the other kingdoms on the continent. Moreover, it was known that most of the martial masters there were unable to advance to the Immortal stage because the Qi energy was too thin, and the cultivation resources were scarce.

"That's right, Elder. I'm from Blueland. That is my hometown. Is there something wrong, Elder? Why do you have such a face?" Zheng-Fu knew why the elder was shocked, but it could not be helped that the elder acted like that because his Blueland was really that weak.

"Nothing. But what are you doing here? Or do you want to go to the Artsy Water Sect?" The elder shook his head, denying that there was nothing. Then he changed the subject and asked Zheng-Fu about his coming here.

"That's right, Elder. I want to go to the Artsy Water Sect, sir," Zheng-Fu immediately nodded in response to the elder without hiding it.

"So why aren't you on board at Returned Stream Port City? Why did you come to me?" the elder asked again, looking at Zheng-Fu with a puzzled expression.

"There's something that happened in Returned Stream Port City that prevented me from getting on the ship. So, I'm coming to rely on Elder's kindness," Zheng-Fu immediately replied without lying. No one could really board a ship at the city's port as the port itself was completely destroyed by the attack of the martial master of Frenzy Shark Pirates.

"Does it have something to do with the explosion a while ago?" the elder asked Zheng-Fu immediately after Zheng-Fu finished explaining.

"I don't know either. I was out of town with many people waiting to enter the city. The city governor of Returned Stream Port City ordered the city gates to be closed, but no one could enter, so I didn't know what was going on. Other than the noise and the chaos, I don't know anything else," Zheng-Fu continued to reply to the elder, his expression still innocent.

Um...

'This child's eyes are not lying at all. Does it show that his words are true? But why do I still think it was his action?' the elder felt that what Zheng-Fu had said did not seem right. However, Zheng-Fu's expression and gaze did not show any lies. Thus, it caused the elder to feel very confused.

He wanted to ask further but had to shake off that thought because, at that moment, both the elder and Zheng-Fu sensed the arrival of a group of people.

"Elder, now it seems to be inconvenient. I don't know if you can help me get to the Artsy Water Sect? If not, then I thank you for taking the time to talk to me," Zheng-Fu did not want to waste any more time, so he immediately let out some forceful words.

"Alright! I'll take you there. Well, let's go. I'm too lazy to talk to other people. Besides, I'd like to talk to you more."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, the elder's ship, which was neither too small nor too large, moved to dock at its own port as if it were alive. But in fact, the ship had an ownership spell engraved on it so that the elder could direct the ship to move.

"Alright, let's go!"

Having said that, the elder immediately jumped onto the ship. Zheng-Fu then jumped up without saying a word. But what he saw when he got on board was that there was not a single crew member on board.

"This ship doesn't need a crew, Elder?" Zheng-Fu was very suspicious.

Ha ha ha!!!

"This ship is so special it doesn't require a crew," the elder replied with a proud look on his face.

"So special? Elder, you mean this ship has a control spell pattern?"

Huh...?

"How did you know that!?" As soon as the elder heard what Zheng-Fu said, the proud face instantly disappeared, turning slightly shocked and saddened.

"Just a guess," Zheng-Fu did not tell the truth about how he knew.

Guess?

"So, are you a fortune teller, able to guess correctly like this…? That's right. This ship has a lot of spell patterns on it, whether it is a defensive spell, a speed-increasing spell, an identity-erasing spell, or the controlling spell you mentioned. Besides, there are many other spells. If I had to tell them all, it would be too long," the elder simply explained to Zheng-Fu.

He thought that Zheng-Fu did not understand these spells.

But in fact, Zheng-Fu was able to perceive these spell patterns through the profound thoughts of Wu-Sun, the former Immortal sorcerer of the Hell Region, who, at the time, resided within Zheng-Fu's manipulative spirit doll and had transcribed magic spells to Zheng-Fu, causing him to have a fair amount of knowledge about magic spells.

"Um... It's actually like this. By the way, how fast is this ship going, Elder? So how long does it take to get to the Artsy Water Sect?" Zheng-Fu instead asked about traveling because he thought the elder, for sure, would have to tell a long story if he continued to ask about his spells.

"About one day, if there's no problem," the elder pondered for a moment before telling him how long it would take to travel.

"One day? And in one day, we'll travel directly to the Artsy Water Sect, or do we have to take a further route?" Zheng-Fu wondered if he still had to transit his journey or was able to reach it straight away because, generally, if someone got on a ship at the Returned Stream Port City, they would have to land first and then continue the journey.

"Since it's me sailing the ship, we'll arrive there straight away on a single route!" the elder did not hesitate to reply, proudly raising his head. Then he continued, "When you come with me, there's no need to continue to take another route to waste time. I've mastered the path here very well.

As for those who have to continue their journey after boarding the port city's ships, it's because those captains are weak and don't dare pass through the valley path. So, they only have to deliver passengers to the other port, unlike me," said the elder with great satisfaction when referring to the captains of the port city.

"Oh... It's actually like this. I was really lucky to come across Elder, who's such a master at sea. Plus, your ship is extremely wonderful," Zheng-Fu praised the elder and excitedly admired his ship.

Ha ha ha!!!

"Kid... you really have a way with your words. It seems that your age is not even fifty or sixty years old, but your personality and speech are very mature as if you've been through a lot of experiences. I, Hai-Tu, the elder, really appreciate you from the bottom of my heart," the elder said with a warm smile.

Hai Tu?

"Elder, your surname is Hai?" Zheng-Fu suddenly realized that this elder's surname was the same as Hai-Dong's, his sworn brother.

"That's right, kid. But why?" The elder looked puzzled and asked back suspiciously.

"It's nothing, Elder, just my big brother's surname is Hai too. We've just sworn brothers. My big brother's name is Dong, and his surname is Hai, sir," Zheng-Fu immediately responded to the elder about the surname of his sworn brother, Hai-Dong.

"Hai-Dong? Um... Hai-Dong? I don't even remember who your big brother is, but it sounds familiar. Anyway, since we have the same surname, we probably know each other a bit. And that you and I met this time, maybe because of destiny." The elder tried to think whether or not he had heard of the name Hai-Dong.

But no matter how hard he thought, he could not figure it out, but it still sounded familiar.

"It must be so," Zheng-Fu also nodded in agreement because if it were not for each other's destiny, they would not have met like this.

Just after the ship had left the port, a group of people that Zheng-Fu had sensed arrived. These people were the young men and young women gathered in front of the city. They had previously decided to come here to see if they could get on the ship. But when they arrived, they found that the ship had already left.

Thump!!!

"Oh no!!! Come back, come back and pick me up!"

"Me too… Come back and pick me up!"

"Damn it! How can it be like this? Who took our chance!?"

"Damn! $#@$!!$!@! Oh!"

The insulting voices of the young men and young women rang out uninterrupted as they saw that the ship had already left and had not returned to pick them up. Some even burst into tears because if they could not participate in the test and pass it this year, they would have already run out of opportunities to become the Artsy Water Sect's disciples.

That was because their age was about to be over eighteen years old.

Back on Elder Hai-Tu's ship...

"Zheng-Fu, I really didn't think you were from Blueland. I thought you were from a powerful clan or some big sect," After hearing Zheng-Fu's brief story, the elder suddenly uttered in disbelief what he had heard.

"It's natural that Elder wouldn't believe it because, as everyone knows, Blueland is such a small kingdom that you can hardly even call it a kingdom. Moreover, the energy level of the people in the kingdom was not very high due to the lack of cultivation resources. But even then, it wasn't that my small kingdom wouldn't be able to create strong martial masters. Do you think that's true?"

"It's true as you said. No matter where they are located, martial masters can be created with the right and sufficient factors. But Blueland, which has to pay tribute to the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom and Greenland every year, will have enough resources?"

"Ha ha ha! Then and now are not the same. If Elder can go to Blueland, to my hometown, In-See City, again, then you will know," Zheng-Fu replied proudly to Elder Hai-Tu when he spoke of In-See City, which he was so proud of and where he had a hard time participating in creating it, including his Beyond Earth Sect.

"That's nice. One day, I'll visit you in In-See City. But I have to sleep for a bit because it's late now. And you should stay quiet; otherwise, the nearby sea monster beasts might wake up and attack us.

Which, let me tell you, it's not something the two of us can handle at all," the elder warmly said, reminding Zheng-Fu to keep quiet as the sea was full of ferocious aquatic monster beasts, and each one was very strong too.

"Yes, Elder."
