In the three days after his return, Su Chen had done a lot of things.
First, there was the auction. Su Chen had personally refined a large number of elixirs and Dharma treasures for the auction. He had also taken out many rare treasures and helped Liu Yue obtain the mining rights of several large mines in the Dongli Sea Region from Kong Miaoyin. This was the first project that made huge profits for the caravan.
In addition, Su Chen had also visited the Mirror Platform Demon Venerable twice and sent her a lot of oily tofu and snacks. However, he still did not get any useful information from her.
In addition to these things, Su Chen spent the rest of his time with his family.
However, Su Chen still did not tell them that he was going to the Great Void Planet. He just said that he was going to the Wuji Sect to gain experience.
Now that the Dongli Sea Region was within the range of the Wuji Sect, his safety was guaranteed if he went to the Wuji Sect. However, the Great Void Planet was different. Once Su Chen revealed his destination, he would definitely be opposed, especially by his mother. Once she stopped Su Chen, it would be difficult for Su Chen to resist.
Therefore, Su Chen decided to hide it from them.
On the third night, Su Chen arrived at the Fox Immortal Forest again.
Knowing that Hu Youyou was still sleeping at this time, Su Chen was not in a hurry. He spent the night in Chu Yanran's room and went to find Hu Youyou the next morning.
When he saw Hu Youyou, Su Chen found that she was pushing a heavy round iron ball over.
Su Chen took a closer look and found that the iron ball was made of Mixed Yuan Iron. This Mixed Yuan Iron was the strongest metal that could be found in the Dongli Sea Region. Moreover, Mixed Yuan Iron had the effect of isolating Yuan Qi. It was very valuable. Su Chen wondered why Hu Youyou had brought such a big iron ball.
When he walked over to take a look, Su Chen found that the iron ball was hollow and there was a bed inside.
"Lord Youyou, are you going to sleep inside?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
Hu Youyou said, "Yanran should have told you that when I'm sleeping, outsiders are not allowed to come near me. It's very inconvenient to go out. For the sake of the Dark Vein that allows both you and me to rest, I have to make preparations. This Mixed Yuan Steel Ball can isolate me from the outside world and help me sleep. It can also ensure your safety."
Su Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Hu Youyou was really well prepared.
Swish …
Su Chen waved his hand and enveloped the metal ball with a layer of divine patterns. He said, "This divine pattern has the effect of soundproofing, ventilation, and calming the nerves. It should be of some help to Lord Youyou."
"What an exquisite technique." Hu Youyou's eyes lit up, "I couldn't tell that young man was also a Divine Inscriptionist."
Su Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
After finishing their preparations, the two of them bid farewell to the Fox Clan and set off on their journey.
After leaving the Immortal Fox Forest, just as Hu Youyou was about to take off, she was stopped by Su Chen. He took out a small floating boat from his interspatial ring and invited Hu Youyou to board.
"The journey is long, Lord Youyou shouldn't waste too much energy. Rest at ease on the boat and leave the task of traveling to me." Su Chen said.
"Young man, you're really a good young man who respects the old." Hu Youyou said.
Su Chen chuckled and activated the power divine pattern. The floating boat soared into the sky and broke through the clouds towards the east.
Half a day later, Su Chen came to the deck to keep a lookout. At this time, the floating boat had already left the Eastern Fence Sea and entered the eastern outer sea.
However, it was still a day or two away from the Martial Pinnacle Sect.
The Martial Pinnacle Sect was huge and occupied a large area of the sea. Its area was hundreds of times larger than the Eastern Fence Sea, and the core existence was the Martial Pinnacle Country, which was also the destination of the two of them.
The Martial Pinnacle Sect's structure was mainly based on the country's imperial power. The imperial power had an extremely high status in the Martial Pinnacle Sect. The Martial Pinnacle Sect's elders and sect masters were all chosen by the imperial family. Even a Grand Elder like Wu Mingkong, who had the highest status in the sect in name, still had to call himself a subject in front of the imperial family.
However, the imperial family of the Martial Pinnacle Sect was very low-key. The core members of the imperial family rarely appeared in public, and the identity of the person in power was never revealed to the public. Who the emperor was, who the empress was, who the crown prince and princess were, this information was unknown to the outside world.
At dusk, the sky gradually darkened, and the sea reflected the orange light of the waves.
Su Chen set up a barbecue rack on the deck and went into the sea to catch some seafood to barbecue. Hu Youyou, who was resting with her eyes closed in the boat, was attracted by the smell.
"It smells so good. Young man, what are you making?"
"Garlic grilled prawns, vermicelli garlic shellfish, crispy bone wings in chili oil, deep sea exploding pearls."
Gulp!
Hu Youyou subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
"Sit for a while, we can start eating soon." Su Chen said, then took out a wine gourd and threw it to Hu Youyou. "Can you drink?"
"Of course. Although I don't have much lifespan left and my energy is not as exuberant as you young people, my body is very healthy."
Hu Youyou seemed to refuse to accept her old age. She opened the wine gourd and raised her head, wanting to drink it all in one gulp.
However, she obviously misjudged the capacity of the gourd. She took a big gulp and almost burst. The wine in the gourd was still pouring out, as if she could not finish it at all.
"So it's a storage treasure … Forget it, I'll drink less."
Hu Youyou burped and slumped on the chair, not caring about her image at all.
Su Chen smiled as he placed the grilled seafood and meat on the table. Hu Youyou took a whiff of the fragrance and immediately regained her spirit. Without a word, she rolled up her sleeves and began eating.
Su Chen lowered his head and suddenly realized that there was a black snake tattoo on Hu Youyou's left arm. The black snake was coiled around Hu Youyou's arm, biting its tail tightly. Its eyes were ferocious, and there was green venom on its fangs. It looked very lifelike, as though it was a living creature.
Sensing the Ancient Fiend aura coming from the black snake tattoo, Su Chen came to a realization. He asked, "What's the origin of this Ancient Fiend?"
Su Chen had helped Yue Ya 'er remove the Ancient Fiend seal back then, so he had some experience in this aspect. Perhaps he could help Hu Youyou.
"Its name is Little Blackie. It's a friend I made when I was roaming the world. Although Little Blackie is an Ancient Fiend, it lost its memories after the seal was removed. Furthermore, Little Blackie has a gentle personality and isn't as scary as it looks. I deliberately let it reside in my body."
"Oh?"
Su Chen was somewhat surprised. Someone had taken the initiative to let an Ancient Fiend reside in their body. Wasn't that a little too unique?
Wasn't she afraid of the story of the farmer and the snake?
Hu Youyou did not say anything else. She buried her head in eating the seafood and finished most of it like a tornado.
The sky was completely dark. After washing up, Hu Youyou crawled into the Primordial Chaos Steel Ball to sleep. Su Chen sat on the deck and looked at the resplendent stars in the sky. He stared at the bright blue Great Void Star in the sky. When he thought of how far away his destination was, he could not help but feel a surge of emotions.
He was naturally worried, but compared to the hot-bloodedness brought by the sea of stars, it was nothing.
