Chapter 252: Going through thick and thin
This time, Chen Yunhao would stop almost every time he saw an island of some size.
Especially in places where there are fairy cities, every time Chen Yunhao arrives at a place, he will find local brokers and ask them about it.
No matter how small the fairy city is, it sometimes has tens of thousands of people living there, so sometimes he has to stay in the city for two or three days and stroll around the market.
Because the market is a mixed bag, information is extremely well-informed.
However, Chen Yunhao's approach is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are too many foundation-building cultivators like Hu Shicheng.
Of course, it is also possible that Hu Shicheng succeeded in making the golden elixir, in which case it would be easier to find out.
The Jindan cultivators in the west of the Boundless Sea are considered high-level cultivators.
We stopped and walked along the way, visited three or four sea areas, and it took nearly a year. We are about to reach the Zizhu sea area.
The sea area that Chen Yunhao had just arrived at was one he had never been to before.
The Silverfish Sea is adjacent to the Purple Pearl Sea, which is parallel to the Purple Pearl Sea and is also located on the edge of the monsoon belt. It is almost 100,000 miles away from the Purple Pearl Sea.
Chen Yunhao walked all the way to the Silverfish Sea, but he had not yet been to the Silverfish Island.
This is his last stop. If he doesn’t get any news on Silverfish Island, he will go back to Thunder Mountain directly.
Silverfish Island is also a large island, with a radius of less than 200,000 miles. There are two large immortal cities in the north and south of the island. There are at least 300,000 to 500,000 immortal cultivators on the entire island.
So Chen Yunhao has lost confidence in finding Hu Shicheng. This is the last stop, so he should do his best and leave the rest to fate!
Along the way, Chen Yunhao regarded himself as Hu Shicheng, and tried to guess where he might appear from his perspective.
Without the protection of his family, Hu Shicheng was just a casual cultivator. If he had some skills, he could make a living.
But that’s all. Without another opportunity, it would be difficult for a casual cultivator to advance to the Golden Core stage.
At that time, Hu Shicheng said that he wanted to join his good friend, and Chen Yunhao guessed that it must be a small sect.
But it is definitely not a certain family. It is difficult for people with other surnames to survive in other families.
So Chen Yunhao came here and deliberately inquired about the situation of some small sects, but he didn't hear any similar news.
There are two fairy cities on Silverfish Island, one is close to the sea and the other is thousands of miles away from the sea.
The fairy city close to the sea was jointly built by three or four sects and families in the surrounding area, and its name is Huanggong City.
It is said that this was originally a small fishing village. Then a monk named Huang practiced here and established a family. This was the predecessor of Huanggong City.
Of course, the Huang family no longer exists, but the name has been used.
Walking in Huanggong City, there are only the same restaurants and shops. Chen Yunhao has no idea how many he has walked through in this period of time and has long been tired of them.
To be honest, he really didn't hold out any hope, and he didn't look for a broker after entering the city.
In a fairy city with more than 50,000 cultivators, it is not easy to find out about someone.
Chen Yunhao did inquire about the location of the market town, and found out that it was not far from the city gate.
Chen Yunhao staggered straight to the market town. Not only were there many independent cultivators here, but also disciples from some small sects who were not well-off were frequent visitors.
The market area of Huanggong City is not small, with thousands of stalls, and it is very crowded and bustling.
The majority of people who come here are cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. People like Chen Yunhao who have reached the Golden Core stage are very rare.
After all, the things sold in the market are all low-end goods, and it is difficult for Jindan cultivators to find the treasures they use.
Therefore, Chen Yunhao stood out among the crowd in this market town. All the cultivators passing by kept a distance from him, for fear of angering this Jindan senior.
But in fact, deep down in his heart, Chen Yunhao really likes the atmosphere of the market town.
After all, he had spent a long time in the markets of various places, and he still missed the feeling of visiting street stalls.
Chen Yunhao stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly casually looking at the stalls on both sides. In fact, he was also looking to see if there was the person he most wanted to see in the market.
In front of a stall, Chen Yunhao suddenly stopped and looked up at the stall owner, who was a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
It is rare to see people with this level of cultivation setting up stalls in the market, but it also shows that this cultivator should be accumulating resources to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Chen Yunhao was not surprised by the cultivator's cultivation level, but by the items on his stall.
Some of the items looked familiar, they were purple beads, which were obviously specialties from the purple bead sea area.
In several nearby sea areas, Chen Yunhao walked through dozens of markets, but this was the only time he saw a stall selling specialties from the purple bead sea area.
This is obvious. The monks setting up stalls are most likely from the Zizhu Sea.
"Senior, is there anything you like?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was setting up a stall rubbed his hands and asked with a little uneasiness.
"Are you from the Purple Pearl Sea?"
"To answer your question, I am from Silverfish Island. This is something left behind by a good friend of mine. He is from the Purple Pearl Sea."
Chen Yunhao's heart moved when he heard this, but it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, so he asked another question casually.
"What's your friend's name?"
"My surname is Hu..."
"But Hu Shicheng?"
Chen Yunhao's eyes lit up. It couldn't be such a coincidence!
"Hey, could it be that Senior also knows my brother Hu?"
"If it's Hu Shicheng from the Hu family in the Zizhu Sea, then that's correct. I've met him a few times in the Zizhu Sea. Wait, you just said these are his legacy, but...?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was setting up a stall nodded with a gloomy expression.
"A while ago, Brother Hu ventured overseas to search for a magical elixir in order to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation. However, he unexpectedly ran afoul of someone and was poisoned. He barely managed to come back and explained a few things to me before passing away!"
At this moment, Chen Yunhao didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
With Hu Shicheng's death, no one in the world will know the identity he impersonated, which should be a happy thing.
But Chen Yunhao couldn't feel happy in his heart. For some reason, he always felt a little regretful!
"Do you know who murdered him?"
Chen Yunhao was silent for a long time and asked again.
"Before he died, Shi Cheng said he was from Poison Dragon Island. Unfortunately, I am too weak...!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was setting up a stall had his hands clenched tightly, showing that he felt extremely resentful.
"Poison Dragon Island...?"
Chen Yunhao muttered to himself in a low voice. After all, he was just a passer-by, and he had never heard of the Poison Dragon Island. However, it was easy to find out about it.
Chen Yunhao nodded to the foundation-building cultivator, turned around and left the market.
It's really like trying to find nowhere, and it takes no effort at all.
When he was about to give up, he actually heard news about Hu Shicheng.
Logically, Chen Yunhao should have returned to Thunder Mountain without worry, but Chen Yunhao's character was such that he would avenge his enemies and return favors.
His current identity is Hu Shihua, the younger brother of Hu Shicheng. Let him make the final repayment to Hu Shicheng!
