Chapter 735: Ten Thousand Water Technique Level 6

Chapter 735: Chapter 221: Ten Thousand Water Technique Level 6

A massive amount of information flooded into Shen Bai’s mind, and he fully mastered all the new abilities.

After the Ten Thousand Water Technique reached Level 6, all its previous Attributes were doubled, and a Water Escape Attribute was added.

This Water Escape meant that when Shen Bai used the Ten Thousand Water Technique to transform into a current of water, he could flee through the water at extreme speeds.

The Divine Power’s new Attribute was essentially for escaping or launching swift attacks in water.

To Shen Bai, it was an ability he could take or leave, but it was an improvement nonetheless.

Especially Shen Bai’s Qi.

The Spirit Soul Little Person in Shen Bai’s mind extended a bit more, dyeing its neck a faint gold. He was not far from the Celestial Spirit Realm.

After putting down his teacup, Shen Bai watched the wisp of steam before him slowly dissipate. Then, he spoke.

“Red Makeup, how are the arrangements coming along?”

“In the next few days, the largest commerce association in the Great Zhou Country should be passing through Lingyun Dao, right?”

Red Makeup nodded slightly and said, “Ding Quan has already made the arrangements. He will send men to escort the commerce association all the way through. Nothing will go wrong.”

The Jianghu had been peaceful lately, but some things were happening in the Great Zhou Country.

These were events, yes, but good ones.

The Great Zhou Country’s largest commerce association, the Shuinan Commerce Association, began to conduct trade runs throughout the country.

As the Great Zhou Country’s largest commerce association, the Shuinan Commerce Association possessed enormous wealth, and every few years, they would conduct trade runs across the Great Zhou Country.

‘Trade runs’ meant facilitating the exchange of goods between different regions, and only the Shuinan Commerce Association had the means to pull it off.

They would dispatch various caravans to different cities to conduct all sorts of commercial affairs.

As for the specific details, Shen Bai knew nothing about them. He wasn’t in that line of business, nor did he have any need to be.

Whenever the Shuinan Commerce Association began its trade runs across the country, the Observatory was responsible for escorting any of its caravans that passed through their territory.

They would provide an escort for a certain distance, then hand off the duty to the next adjacent city.

This process of continuous handovers ensured that the commerce association could conduct its trade runs smoothly.

Adjacent to Lingyun Dao was Cangnan Dao, and on the other side was Fenghua Dao.

This time, the Shuinan Commerce Association’s caravan was traveling from Fenghua Dao, through Lingyun Dao, then to Cangnan Dao, and would continue along that route.

This caravan was one of thousands upon thousands from the Shuinan Commerce Association, and it was also very important for Lingyun Dao.

After all, the Shuinan Commerce Association’s caravan would be stationed in Lingyun Dao for a period of time.

“Tell Ding Quan to be extra careful.”

Shen Bai said slowly.

Although Lingyun Dao was very safe now, that wasn’t an absolute guarantee.

“By the way, what about that Small Forbidden Area?” Shen Bai asked.

Red Makeup thought for a moment and said, “The Small Forbidden Area in Cangnan Dao hasn’t opened yet, but it’s showing faint signs of doing so. It should be very soon.”

“The specifics are impossible to determine.”

‘That was just how Forbidden Lands were. If you could predict the exact time they would open, they wouldn’t be called ‘Forbidden Lands’ in the first place.’

Lately, Red Makeup had been helping Shen Bai shoulder his burdens.

She would sort through many matters, summarizing them before reporting to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai nodded. “In that case, once it opens, have the Cangnan Dao Observatory notify me. I’d like to go over and take a close look.”

Red Makeup agreed. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, “What are your plans for the Eldest Prince, Master?”

Shen Bai smiled and said, “He can do as he pleases, as long as he doesn’t stir up trouble here.”

“As long as he stays put and doesn’t do anything, I have no reason to cause him trouble.”

“He’s a good actor. At least, when we met not long ago, he didn’t betray the slightest hint that anything was amiss.”

Not long ago, Shen Bai had his first interaction with the Eldest Prince, who had come to him about Zhou Qing’s situation.

At the time, his impression of the Eldest Prince had been decent.

But Shen Bai was always a cautious person, and he would never let his guard down around anyone after just one meeting.

So, after the Eldest Prince had left, he had performed a divination. He discovered that during his Calculation, a peculiar fluctuation appeared concerning the Eldest Prince.

This fluctuation, derived from his Infinite Divination Skill, meant that the face the Eldest Prince showed him was completely different from his true intentions.

In other words, the Eldest Prince had designs concerning him.

Although these designs posed no threat to Shen Bai, he had now seen the Eldest Prince’s two-faced nature.

Shen Bai didn’t pay too much mind to the situation, however.

First of all, the Eldest Prince had been very well-behaved after arriving in Lingyun Dao, staying in the military camp and minding his own business.

Secondly, Shen Bai believed the Saint Martial Emperor wouldn’t have sent the Eldest Prince here just to cause him trouble for no reason.

‘Because if the Emperor truly wanted to cause trouble for me, he wouldn’t have sent the Eldest Prince over, let alone have him take command of the army here.’

‘So, after thinking it over, I decided it was better to just keep grinding my Skill Levels.’

As for Zhou Qing, Shen Bai currently had no way to help him, but he was constantly asking his contacts for news.

Word was that Zhou Qing was still alive. Moreover, Yang Yuan Daoist said that Zhou Qing seemed to have had some kind of fortuitous encounter in the Netherworld.

Even Yang Yuan Daoist couldn’t divine the specifics of the situation.

‘So, which Divine Power should I work on next?’

Shen Bai pondered.

Then, the attributes of his Divine Power appeared before his eyes.
