Ten days had passed since the trip to the King Lu Palace.
During that time, Wu Xie had asked Pan Zi, but the only information he received was that the other party was also searching for Wu Sanxing.
If it wasn't for Aning showing up.
He probably wouldn't have gotten any information at all.
Seeing the other party's incredibly urgent and expectant gaze, Lin Chuan shook his head.
"Even if you ask me, I won't tell you."
Wu Xie immediately became anxious when he heard this: "You know?! What's there that you can't say?"
Seeing that the other party was relentless, Lin Chuan said: "This information is very valuable, you, Wu Xie, can't afford it."
Wu Xie instinctively said: "How much?"
Lin Chuan held up a finger: "Ten million. Once the money is in the account, I'll tell you everything in detail."
Wu Xie was shocked by the number, saying in disbelief: "Ten million?! You might as well just rob me!"
Ten million.
Even if he were to sell himself, he wouldn't be able to come up with that kind of money.
Lin Chuan chuckled: "Rob? It's nowhere near as profitable as my information broker business. Besides, this information spans three generations. Ten million, I think I'm underselling it."
Seeing Wu Xie's dejected appearance, he simply said: "The underwater tomb you went to, your third uncle also went. Think carefully about the notes your grandfather left you, there's information on them."
"Underwater tomb?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie began to recall.
"Anyone who can be the Sea Dragon King in the ocean, they must be powerful."
"There must be good things inside."
"If another item comes out and sells for a sky-high price, Fatzi here can consider retiring."
Wang Pangzi was fantasizing.
"I remember!" Wu Xie suddenly shouted: "My grandfather once told me that my third uncle was part of an archeological team that also surveyed an underwater tomb. Could it be that it's this one in the Xisha?"
"Lin Xiaogong, you mean to say, that underwater tomb will have information about my third uncle?"
Lin Chuan didn't intend to say much, just shrugged: "Who knows?"
Having a lead, Wu Xie no longer bothered Lin Chuan.
He took out paper and a pen, scribbling something on the table.
"Linzi, girl."
"That place is a few days away from here. If you get seasick, just lie down and rest."
"This boat is so shaky, Fatzi can't handle it."
Wang Pangzi found a bed, threw his bag down carelessly, and lay down.
Lin Chuan also found an empty bed.
He wasn't seasick, but standing around was boring, so he might as well meditate.
"Lin Da Ge, I'm here, you don't mind, right?"
Yang Yi found a spot opposite Lin Chuan's bed.
"As long as it's not on my bed, what could I possibly mind?"
Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly.
Hearing this, Yang Yi's lips curled into a slight smile, she tidied up her belongings, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes.
After all, they had been traveling all day.
For normal people, it was impossible not to be tired.
Looking at Yang Yi who quickly fell asleep, some thoughts popped into Lin Chuan's mind.
This girl seemed to be deliberately approaching him.
Could it be that she has a divine plan?
Is she actively trying to get close to me?
If so, what does she want?
Forget it, I'm not thinking about it anymore.
Lin Chuan quickly dismissed these thoughts from his mind.
Practicing on the sea.
His cultivation progress was indeed faster than in the city.
"Wait!"
Just as he started to enter a state of flow, Lin Chuan abruptly opened his eyes.
His gaze fell upon Yang Yi's delicate face.
She was asleep, her breathing steady, nothing unusual.
"When I was cultivating just now."
"Besides my cultivation making progress, the barrier that needs medicinal assistance to break through, seems to have some faint movement."
"Could it be that I'm drawing on the medicinal energy from this girl?"
Lin Chuan couldn't believe it.
The help this innocent girl, who was sleeping, provided him was so great.
And this was just by being next to her, not actually sleeping together.
He couldn't imagine how much benefit he would gain if they were together and he broke through that barrier.
As soon as this thought arose.
Lin Chuan knew something was wrong, so he immediately dismissed it, not daring to think about it any further.
…
"Lin Xiaogong! Lin Xiaogong!"
Lin Chuan, who was in the middle of his cultivation, was interrupted by Wu Xie's urgent voice.
He opened his eyes.
He discovered that the entire cabin was in disarray, all the objects were shaking violently.
Wang Pangzi was also woken up by the commotion.
Yang Yi was still asleep.
"Girl, girl!"
Under Wang Pangzi's repeated calls, Yang Yi finally woke up from her slumber.
"You can sleep through such a commotion, you're a real heavy sleeper."
Wang Pangzi complained.
"What's going on?"
Yang Yi covered her mouth and yawned, still groggy from sleep, she was a little confused.
"It must be a wave, let's go out and see."
Lin Chuan got out of bed. The things inside were shaking so violently, this wave must be big.
The group of them went out to the deck.
Outside, it was pitch black, with a raging storm.
Their clothes.
Were completely soaked through in just a few minutes.
The wind and waves were fierce and powerful.
The entire fishing boat was like a leaf in this environment, at any moment it could be overturned.
"What are you all out here for?! Go back inside!"
The ship captain shouted loudly when he saw them come out.
However, the sound of the wind and rain was too loud, covering most of the sound.
His words were barely audible to the others.
"If you don't want to die, go back."
At this time, a bald man appeared on deck, speaking coldly to the group.
"Go back!"
"If you get tossed overboard, no one can save you!"
Aning shouted to the group.
At this moment.
A crew member rushed over, panic etched on his face.
"Captain! There's a ghost, a ghost ship!!"
"Where?!"
"Over there! It's heading straight for our ship!"
The searchlight immediately shone over.
Indeed!
A strange ship hidden in the darkness.
Was approaching their ship at high speed.
There were no lights on board.
The entire ship looked dilapidated, with traces of seawater corrosion everywhere.
Under the searchlight, it looked incredibly eerie and sinister.
"Hard to starboard!!"
The ship captain roared!
Soon, someone responded: "It's no use! One of the engines is broken!"
Wang Pangzi heard this, his heart sank, he shouted: "We're done for! This is the real death trip!"
Wu Xie tightly gripped the pillar next to him, exclaiming: "This is so unlucky, my first time at sea and I encounter this!"
"The ghost ship is coming! Turn around, don't look at it!"
The crew members shouted in panic, and turned their heads away.
Seeing Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi still standing there, Aning quickly turned them around forcefully.
"Don't look at it!"
"No matter what happens, don't turn back!"
"Even if someone pats you on the shoulder!"
Aning urgently reminded them.
Lin Chuan stood on the deck, no matter how the ship tossed and turned, he seemed unaffected.
Yang Yi stood not far from him, facing the ghost ship directly.
She didn't flinch at all.
"Are you crazy?! That's a ghost ship! Anyone who sees it will be in trouble!"
The ghost ship was about to approach, Aning was anxious.
"At this angle, it's going to collide. Everyone on board will die."
Lin Chuan frowned slightly.
"What do we do?!"
Aning shouted.
Yang Yi, holding onto the railing on the boat, struggled to get to the edge of the boat.
She stared at the approaching ghost ship and said: "My father and mother encountered what they called a ghost ship while they were adventuring in the South China Sea. All those ghosts and souls are fake, they are just stories passed down by the coastal residents."
"Under that ship is a large sand-burying worm."
"It should be that a fisherman caught it and put it in the hold, and then they used its blood to sacrifice to the Sea Dragon."
"It miraculously didn't die, and that's how the so-called ghost ship came to be."
Just as she finished speaking, a giant wave hit them.
Yang Yi lost her balance.
It seemed like she was about to be swept into the sea.
Lin Chuan, with lightning speed, grabbed her.
Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lin Da Ge, I have to thank you again."
There were many stories about the origins of ghost ships, Yang Yi was talking about one of them.
In Lin Chuan's memory, the ghost ship that Wu Xie encountered in Xisha was just a wrecked ship drifting at sea.
But seeing Yang Yi speak with such certainty, Lin Chuan couldn't help but speculate: "Your eyes, can you see under the boat?"
Yang Yi immediately shook her head and said: "My father and mother, they came to the South China Sea, they and I..."
She hadn't finished speaking when she saw a look of determination flash in Lin Chuan's eyes, and then he immediately dove into the sea.
"Lin Da Ge!"
