The original repairer

Chapter 311 Parting

Hearing Shi Chen say this, the three of them felt disappointed, as if the opportunity to obtain the treasure was right before their eyes, but they missed it so easily.

Yan Kuan said somewhat unwillingly, "Friend Shi, this complex formation doesn't look simple. Perhaps there are some precious magic weapons or spiritual objects inside. Even if it's useless to you, it's a rare opportunity for us."

Shi Chen frowned and said, "This formation looks extraordinary, but the damaged patterns have revealed the aura within. Although I haven't fully explored it, I can sense that there are no particularly precious things within it. It's dispensable to me. Compared to searching for the floating city, it's really not worth wasting time on."

Da Zhuang scratched his head and said, "Friend Shi has a point, but this floating city is too difficult to find. We don't know when we'll find it if we search aimlessly like this. There's a place right before us where we can find treasures, so why don't we explore it first?"

Shi Chen pursed his lips and said, "Finding the floating city is indeed not easy. This opportunity and strange phenomenon has appeared here, and you have no intention of exploring the floating city. Why don't we part ways now?"

When Shi Chen said this, the three of them were stunned. They didn't expect Shi Chen to suddenly ask for separation.

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, "Friend Shi, that's not what we meant. Well, we...we are of course mainly looking for...looking for the floating city, but...we just think that this...this complex formation might also yield some rewards, and we don't want to miss it so easily."

Yan Kuan also quickly agreed, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Shi, we just..."

"You don't need to explain. We all understand." Shi Chen interrupted Yan Kuan. "Show me Han Xiao's appearance, and I'll give you some formation flags. You can enter this formation for twelve hours."

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected Shi Chen to make such a request. However, since Shi Chen was willing to provide the formation flags for them to enter and explore the formation, they could not say anything more.

Da Zhuang stretched out his hand, activated his spiritual power, and used it to reveal Han Xiao's appearance. "He rarely appears in the island market. It will be difficult to find him."

"I will find a way to find him. See you later!" Shi Chen memorized Han Xiao's appearance, took out three formation flags, threw them to the three of them, and said with a fist.

Yan Kuan took the battle flag and said gratefully, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shi, we will complete our exploration as quickly as possible and then continue our search for the floating city."

Shi Chen nodded and said, "I hope you can gain something. Then we will separate here. I will continue to search for the floating city."

After saying that, Shi Chen did not stop, summoned the flying boat and flew away into the distance.

Da Zhuang, Lu Chuan, and Yan Kuan felt a little guilty as they watched Shi Chen walk away, but they were also filled with anticipation as they looked at the battle flags in their hands.

"Let's go in and take a look." Da Zhuang said.

So, the three of them activated the formation flags according to what Shi Chen said, and flew towards the complex formation.

As they approached the formation, the formation flag emitted a ray of light, echoing with the spiritual energy fluctuations of the formation. An entrance appeared in the formation. The three of them flew in without hesitation.

The water of Xiyuan Sea is very clear. From a distance, it is light blue and transparent. You can clearly see the seabed of the shallow sea area ten feet deep, and you can see the fish, shrimps, crabs, coral reefs and rocks at a glance.

The sea surface was rippling with waves, and the sunlight was sparkling in the waves. Shi Chen was flying alone in a flying boat over the sea, and his thoughts were a little complicated.

Although he was separated from Dazhuang and the others, he did not regret his decision. He knew that his goal was the floating city and he could not be distracted by some small opportunities.

The flying boat swiftly passed over the sea, and Shi Chen carefully detected the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations as he flew. However, the sea seemed unusually calm, with no signs of the floating city about to appear.

In the Good Luck Spirit Tavern in the island market, there were twelve tables for guests, but only three in the corners were empty. A monk wearing a face-covering hat, a light blue lining inside, and a red and green outer robe walked in, went straight to a corner by the window, and sat down at an empty table.

The waiter saw this and hurried over, bowing and asking, "Sir, what would you like to order?"

As he spoke, he picked up the cloth hanging on his shoulder and wiped the clean table.

"A pot of spiritual wine and three signature spiritual dishes." The monk in the bamboo hat said coldly.

"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir. Here is a pot of spiritual wine and three signature spiritual dishes." The waiter sang loudly while taking orders.

At the other nine guest tables, monks sitting in groups of three or four were not affected and were whispering to each other about information.

Soon, the spiritual wine and spiritual dishes were brought to the table of the monk in the bamboo hat. He drank slowly and savored them silently, and seemed to pay no attention to what was going on in the tavern.

"I heard that Xiyuan Sea has been quite unstable recently. Sea beasts are active frequently and many cultivators dare not go out to sea easily." A cultivator in a green robe whispered.

"Yes, I also heard that someone saw the shadow of a floating city in Xiyuan Sea. But the floating city is elusive, and no one knows where it will appear." A yellow-robed monk next to him continued.

A female monk also joined the discussion: "I'm curious about what's inside that floating city. Legend has it that there are countless treasures and powerful secret manuals there, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Hmph, even if it's true, do you think it's that easy to get? There must be all kinds of dangerous restrictions and guardian beasts around the floating city. If you don't have enough strength, you will die if you go in." A bearded monk said disdainfully.

At this moment, the monk in the bamboo hat sitting in the corner twitched his ears slightly. He seemed to be very interested in the discussion about the floating city, but on the surface he still pretended to be indifferent.

In another corner of the tavern, several monks who looked like disciples of a certain sect were talking in low voices.

"Brother, we came to the island market this time to inquire about the news of Xiyuan Sea and see if we can find any clues about the floating city. Master said that if we can enter the floating city, we might be able to find an opportunity to enhance the strength of our sect." A young disciple said.

"Junior brother, we have to be careful. This island market is full of good and bad people, and many people are eyeing the floating city. Moreover, the information we have received so far is very vague, and it will not be easy to find the floating city." The senior brother said with a frown.

Just as the monks were discussing heatedly, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a monk in black clothes walked in.

His eyes were stern, and he exuded a fierce aura. He glanced around the tavern and then walked towards the monk in the bamboo hat.

"Han Xiao, long time no see." The black-robed monk sat opposite the monk in the bamboo hat and said coldly.

The monk in the bamboo hat put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly raised his head: "It's you, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The black-robed monk sneered, "You know why I'm here. You must be familiar with the news about the floating city. Tell me, what do you know?"

Han Xiao was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know anything. You've got the wrong person."

The black-robed monk's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Han Xiao, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. If you refuse to speak, don't blame me for being rude."

The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became tense, and the other monks stopped talking and looked over here.
