Chapter 18 The Merchant Arrives

Only the northwest of Qingling Island still had three sea beasts.

Han Tianming led the search team and cleared them all in just one morning.

The strength of these three sea beasts was not very strong. The strongest one, a double-tailed sea ice scorpion, was only the first-grade upper grade, equivalent to a state of Qi Refining Level 7.

In the Earth Fire Cave, Han Tianming poured all the sea beast blood collected this time into it.

In the black hole, wisps of spiritual energy gushed out, and the scorching breath in it became weaker and weaker, but it was still like a maggot attached to the bone, difficult to eradicate.

"There is not enough sea beast blood..."

Han Tianming murmured, and suddenly, his consciousness was turbulent like water waves.

A treasure map slowly appeared in front of him.

The range covers the entire Qingling Island and the surrounding offshore, forming a circle.

This map is like a curtain blown by the wind. In a trance, the range has expanded again!

The surrounding sea area widened again, as if the fog had been dispelled, revealing its true appearance.

In the new circular area, many animal heads appeared, the range was much larger than the original offshore area, and the head beasts were also much larger.

"This... green animal head..."

Among the white animal heads like stars, Han Tianming suddenly found green animal head marks.

This means that the sea beasts at these marks have at least reached level 2.

Fortunately, there are not many such green animal heads.

Even if the newly opened area is large, there are only three green animal heads, dotted on the vast sea surface.

Han Tianming will call this newly appeared circle of areas the Qingling Island Far Sea.

If the center of Qingling Island is the dot, the radius to the edge of the newly appeared area should be 800 miles away.

The range is so vast that even if you drive a spirit boat, it may take a day and a night to run from the east to the west.

Now, just this map is enough to overwhelm Han Tianming.

"Is this... an island?"

On this treasure map, there is an island in the southeast of Qingling Island, in the far sea.

But this island is much smaller than Qingling Island, at most only one-fourth the size of Qingling Island.

Such an island can only be called a micro island.

In the Chaos Star Sea, it is so small that it is almost inaudible.

People who wander the sea cannot find such an island unless they come to a very close place by accident.

"It's a pity that the treasure map can't be enlarged, otherwise we can directly check what is on the island..."

Han Tianming said with some regret, but he was not discouraged.

With a specific location, it is very easy to explore.

Now that he has broken through the foundation-building stage, he can fly with a sword, even without a spirit boat, he can still go there.

The speed is a few points faster than the Han family spirit boat.

This is the advantage of having a specific location. If there is no specific location, it is like walking in the dark, and you don't know where to go.

But apart from this, Han Tianming has never found other islands on the treasure map.

Although there are as many islands as stars in the Chaos Star Sea, the Chaos Star Sea itself is also vast and boundless.

No matter how many islands are scattered in it, it is unknown how far apart they are from each other.

Otherwise, the ancestors of the Han family would not have drifted for more than 300 days before they were lucky enough to set foot on Qingling Island.

After observing the treasure map for a long time, Han Tianming's consciousness was about to withdraw from the depths of his mind, and suddenly he found that a new mark appeared on the edge of the treasure map.

It was a ship-shaped mark, like a miniature spirit boat, appearing on the east side of Qingling Island, at the edge of the distant sea.

This mark has been moving slowly, and the direction of navigation is surprisingly the direction of Qingling Island.

"This... could it be a merchant?"

Han Tianming guessed that he did not feel any bad breath from this mark.

Unlike those animal head marks, even with just a few strokes, it outlines a fierce breath.

Han Tianming is almost certain that this ship refers to the sea merchant.

"Is it finally coming?"

He was looking forward to it. The problem of the spiritual vein depletion of Qingling Island could finally be solved.

According to the speed of the ship-shaped mark, these merchants may not be able to reach Qingling Island until tomorrow.

Han Tianming suppressed his excitement and returned to his courtyard.

That night, he himself could not remember when he fell asleep.

The next morning, the elder ran to Han Tianming's courtyard in a hurry.

"Master...sea...sea merchants are coming!"

It can be seen that he was also very excited.

It was not a long distance, but it still made this cultivator of the fifth level of Qi Refining run out of breath.

"Well, I know."

After a whole night of torment, Han Tianming was calmer than anyone else at this moment.

Isn't it just a sea merchant?

Isn't it just that the spiritual vein can be saved?

Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

I am the head of the Han family. I was excited for a night. Isn't it calm now?

Han Tianming straightened his clothes in the room, pushed the door open, walked out of the courtyard, and headed towards the east coast.

On the spot, the elder looked at the unfathomable back and even forgot to be excited.

The head of the family is really, too calm!

The blue shirt is upright and elegant...

No, how does the head of the family know that the merchants are from the east?

On the east coast of Qingling Island, a large ship was quietly anchored on the coast. On the seashore, the Han family members had surrounded the place.

Nothing else, this ship is too big, about 30-40 feet high, 10-20 feet long, bigger than a small yard.

On the bow and deck, several figures stood.

The leader was a young woman, dressed in purple, with a delicate face, but her smart eyes revealed a hint of playfulness and cunning.

Obviously, her true appearance was not as peaceful and gentle as it was now.

"Qingling Island, Han Tianming, the head of the Han family, greets all the seniors!"

Han Tianming came to the scene, stepped out of the crowd, bowed to the bow, and spoke loudly.

On the bow, the purple-clothed girl looked at Han Tianming, a glimmer of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she quickly patted the old man beside her and said:

"Uncle Fu, quickly lower the gangway!"

Beside her, the kind old man with white hair and beard was stunned, a little helpless.

"Yes, yes, my second lady..."

While speaking, he gestured to the guards behind him.

Then, a wide gangway was lowered from the edge of the deck.

"Master Han, please come aboard for a chat!"

The old man stepped forward, smiled and returned Han Tianming's greeting, inviting him.

Looking at this kind-faced old man, Han Tianming's eyes flickered.

He felt a great pressure on him. This must be a very powerful cultivator.

At least he has reached the late stage of foundation building, otherwise Han Tianming, who has an innate sword body, would not feel oppressed.

Walking to the hanging ladder, Han Tianming climbed up the steps.

As a foundation building cultivator, he could have directly flown the sword, but this was not a sign of respect for the other party.
