Liangzhou County City was located in a remote area and there were no canals passing through it.
The Great Chu Nation had built a huge canal called the Grand Canal of Capital Machinery!
Many counties in the Great Chu Nation had the Grand Canal of Capital Machinery flowing through them.
However, Liangzhou County City did not have one. If one wanted to go to the capital through the Grand Canal of Capital Machinery, one would have to go to other counties first.
The Grand Canal of Capital Machinery was one of the most important transportation routes in the Great Chu Nation. One could take some merchant ships and go straight to the capital.
Of course, if Ye Qing insisted on flying, he could also go to the capital. However, the distance was longer and it would take a long time.
According to Ye Qing's estimation, with his speed, it would take him at least three months to fly all the way.
It was not worth it to spend three months on the road. Ye Qing decided to go to a county adjacent to Liangzhou County City and take a merchant ship in the Grand Canal of Capital Machinery.
The county adjacent to Liangzhou County City was Qingzhou County City.
Ye Qing flew all the way. His next destination was Qingzhou County City!
As time passed, Ye Qing left Liangzhou County City and arrived at Qingzhou County City two days later.
The atmosphere of Qingzhou County City was obviously different from Liangzhou County City. It looked more prosperous and powerful. Walking on the road, any warrior he saw could be an expert in the Sixth Tier of the Divine Treasure Realm or above.
Ye Qing did not plan to stay in Qingzhou County City. Instead, he went straight to the Grand Canal of Capital Machinery in Qingzhou County City!
The territory of Qingzhou County was obviously more vast than Liangzhou County City. Ye Qing stepped on the flying sword and flew through the sky. After two hours, he arrived at the ferry port!
Originally, Ye Qing could fly faster with the Dragon Slaying Saber, but he did not. After all, the Dragon Slaying Saber was a Middle Grade Honorable Realm magic treasure. If he took it out rashly, it would definitely cause a commotion in Qingzhou County City!
In front of him was a luxurious ferry port. Ye Qing looked around and saw many merchant ships in the canal!
On the canal, there were clouds and mist lingering about. Those merchant ships had already set off. Ye Qing could not rashly go up, otherwise, he might be mistaken as a robber.
He looked around and saw a few merchant ships near Ye Qing. However, the merchant ships did not look big and he guessed that they were small merchant ships from Qingzhou Prefecture.
Ye Qing wanted to find a large merchant ship. After all, it would take at least a month to cross the Grand Canal. Small merchant ships were not very stable. If they were robbed, it would be troublesome.
Just as Ye Qing was looking for a merchant ship, a large merchant ship approached the dock in the Grand Canal of Beijing!
Ye Qing's eyes lit up. This merchant ship was as big as two mountains put together. It was very luxurious and magnificent. The people on the ship must be very powerful.
Buzz!
Not long after, the merchant ship anchored and stopped at the shore. It seemed that there was something that needed to be dealt with in Qingzhou County City.
A group of warriors walked down from the merchant ship. All of them were dressed in martial attire and looked very majestic. The aura of cultivation they displayed showed that they were all in the seventh tier of the Divine Treasure Realm. There were more than 20 of them, which made them a strong team!
Ye Qing noticed that these people had more or less monsters with them. Some of them were directly holding the skins of monsters. They probably wanted to do some transactions in Qingzhou County City.
Ye Qing was patient and was not in a hurry. He was prepared to take this large merchant ship and wait for them to make the transaction last night before leaving. It would not be too late.
Ye Qing stepped out and walked towards the merchant ship. He negotiated with one of the warriors and expressed his intentions.
That warrior did not refuse and agreed to let Ye Qing board the ship. However, the fee was a little high. It required two hundred upper-grade Heaven-tier God Awakening Elixirs!
Around Ye Qing, there were some warriors from the Qingzhou County who wanted to take the merchant ship to the capital. However, when some warriors heard the high cost, they immediately turned and left.
Two hundred upper-grade Heaven-tier God Awakening Elixirs was indeed a little too expensive. Ordinary people could not afford it.
Ye Qing did not care. He paid two hundred upper-grade Heaven-tier God Awakening Elixirs on the spot and walked onto the merchant ship.
In Qingzhou County City, there were some rich people who were heading to the capital for business. They paid two hundred upper-grade Heaven-tier God Awakening Elixirs and successfully boarded the merchant ship.
After asking around, Ye Qing understood that this merchant ship belonged to the Wan Shou Sect, a huge sect in the capital!
In the capital of Dachu Nation, there were many different forces. Among them, they could be divided into super forces, first-rate forces, and second-rate forces.
The Wan Shou Sect was one of the first-rate forces. All of their disciples were Beast Tamers!
The people on this merchant ship were basically all disciples of the Wan Shou Sect. They passed through the capital's grand canal and headed to various county cities in Dachu Nation to trade.
The Beast Tamers of the Wan Shou Sect often went out to train, subdued some demonic beasts, and even hunted some demonic beasts.
The demonic beasts that they hunted were basically the Wan Shou Sect's resources. They were used to trade for various cultivation resources.
Every county city had some scarce resources. The Wan Shou Sect knew how to do business. They specially selected the scarce resources in the county cities and sold them at a high price.
This time, the Wan Shou Sect stopped in Qingzhou County City for a short period of time to conduct a trade.
However, it was obvious that they had discussed with the people in Qingzhou County City beforehand. The trade was carried out very quickly. In a short hour, the trade was completed. The disciples who went out all returned.
Ye Qing was on the merchant ship of the Wan Shou Sect. He stayed in a relatively luxurious room.
After paying two hundred upper-grade Heaven-tier God Awakening Elixirs to board the ship, the treatment he received was not bad. Ye Qing could cultivate in peace in the room.
"Boom boom boom!"
Ye Qing heard the rumbling of the merchant ship, but he did not pay attention to it. According to the disciples of the Wan Shou Sect, the merchant ship was moving very fast and would reach the capital in about a month.
The merchant ship required a lot of Primordial Stones to start, but the Wan Shou Sect only used low-grade Primordial Stones. They only needed to provide some Primordial Stones to start the ship.
At night, the merchant ship was very lively. In the hall on the second floor of the merchant ship, there were tables full of dishes. Many disciples of the Wan Shou Sect gathered together to drink.
There were also some guests who ordered some wine and dishes.
Ye Qing was still in his room when he heard the commotion outside, and even smelled the rich fragrance of food. It had to be said that the Wan Shou Sect was worthy of being called one of the top powers in the capital, the ingredients used to cook the food were all from demonic beasts with very good bloodlines.
Ye Qing smelled the strong fragrance outside, and his appetite was immediately aroused.
As a warrior in the Divine Treasure Realm, he could have long been able to abstain from eating for a few months without a problem.
However, there was nothing wrong with tasting some delicacies once in a while. Moreover, food cooked with the flesh of demonic beasts had the effect of strengthening one's body.
"Xiao Yezi, I'm hungry!"
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in Ye Qing's system space. Ye Qing's face immediately darkened.
