Chapter 573: Chapter 333: Divine Level Extraction

He had completed the promotions for two Professions.

Lu Cang returned to the basement in Atlantis City.

He had been here long enough. He’d heard that the residents of Lorren and Miselux were beginning to interact more frequently, and Atlantis City was considering establishing diplomatic relations with Lorren.

’They aren’t actually planning to invade Lorren and make it a vassal state.’

’That’s surprisingly kind of them.’

’If it were that Luo Tedan fellow, he’d probably have attacked the moment he learned there was a lone, weaker nation right next door, wouldn’t he?’

’The caliber of these leaders is completely different.’

’But...’

’It probably isn’t that simple.’

’Atlantis City is just one city in Miselux, a city-state of sorts, but Miselux is more than just Atlantis City...’

’With the Lorren Continent appearing nearby, it’s naturally attracting the prying eyes of other nations.’

’With their interests holding each other in check, they probably just haven’t agreed on how to dispatch troops and attack Lorren.’

’Whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway.’

Lu Cang only intended to watch Lorren’s fate unfold this far; he had no plans to see it through to the end.

Leng Qingying was beside Lu Cang, still hanging upside down from the ceiling.

"When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"I asked at the port. A ship bound for Moonfall Island is scheduled for tomorrow."

When sailing the Moon Sea, it was best to use a Moon Sea Ship. These unique vessels could shorten the distance between two points.

However, they could only operate on specific routes.

The Moon Sea was too vast. Even at Lu Cang’s top speed, it would be difficult to cross the entire sea in under a century.

One had to rely on the specialized ships of the Moon Sea.

The Secret Sea also had special modes of transport that could significantly shorten travel time. It was just that such vehicles were much rarer in the Secret Sea, controlled only by a few major powers.

They weren’t nearly as common as in the Moon Sea.

"Moonfall Island? Where’s that?" Leng Qingying asked, confused.

Lu Cang thought for a moment.

Then he produced a massive map.

Lu Cang had bought a physical copy of the map. Although he already had it in his Memory Palace, it wasn’t expensive, and with his financial resources, he could easily afford it.

"We’re going to the Tree of the World Center, so we first need to get to the Land of the Moon. Moonfall Island is one of the routes to get there."

Leng Qingying looked at the map Lu Cang had unfurled.

The Land of the Moon was at the very center of the Moon Sea.

Miselux was in the southern part of the Moon Sea, so they would have to travel due north. The routes leading to the Land of the Moon were already marked.

Because travel was mostly done by ships shuttling between fixed islands, the routes were largely set in stone.

If you disembarked mid-journey, you would face the vast, empty Moon Sea and have to fly for who knows how many months just to find the next landmass.

"Moonfall Island, Ten Thousand Woods Continent, Dream-Seeking Island, Er Fen Island."

There were actually quite a few routes to choose from.

Starting from Miselux, several different continents served as waypoints to the Land of the Moon.

"We have to share a ship with other people?"

"Mhm..."

"I asked around. It seems there are no ships for private charter, but if you spend enough, you can book the entire vessel."

"But there’s no need."

’If there was a Level 6 or Level 7 Reincarnator on board, they might have tens of millions in savings. Getting into a bidding war would just cost more money.’

He had plenty of money, but Lu Cang felt it was an unnecessary expense.

Besides, having other people around would be a good opportunity to gather intelligence.

’In my future rehearsals, I didn’t just see scenarios of myself traveling alone with Lu Luwei and Leng Qingying.’

’Sometimes, it was just the three of us on the ship.’

’Other times, there were plenty of fellow passengers.’

’My destination also varied between rehearsals. This time it’s Moonfall Island, but another time it was the Ten Thousand Woods Continent.’

’In my future rehearsals, these continents were all more or less the same.’

’Relatively peaceful, for the most part.’

’But Moonfall Island has a smaller population. It’s an island for adventurers, with dense Demon tides and numerous Dungeons... which suits my plans perfectly.’

’I don’t want to stir up any trouble.’

’I want to be like a hermit, cultivating slowly and climbing to the top without attracting anyone’s attention.’

’Besides, I really do want to grind some Demons.’

’A smaller population on Moonfall Island means that a Tier Seven Dungeon won’t just materialize and immediately draw a crowd of spectators.’

’And I happen to need some things from Demons.’

’So many ideas for Potions...’

’I feel a bit like a mad scientist, always tinkering with Potions and conducting dangerous biochemical experiments.’

"Okay, I understand."

"Anyway, I’ll just follow your lead."

’Follow my lead? Taking orders about our itinerary from a child... that is a bit strange, isn’t it?’

"Lu Cang."

"Hm?" Lu Cang was looking through a book on Enchantment.

"Can you... guide me," Leng Qingying said abruptly.

Lu Cang turned his head to meet her gaze.

Although Leng Qingying had fought and trained with him before, he had never formally taught her.

This was the first time she had asked.

She wasn’t asking for a fight, but for guidance.

"I... I know you’re strong now. I admit it." Leng Qingying’s face seemed to flush as she forced the words out.

For her, admitting he was strong was a bitter pill to swallow.

"So, I hope you can guide me..."

Lu Cang turned back to his book. "That’s not the right attitude for asking for a favor."

Leng Qingying gritted her teeth. "Then, what do you want me to do...? I can help you, too."

Looking at Leng Qingying, Lu Cang sighed.

"You’re too stiff."

"You should be a little more charming... When asking for help, you at least shouldn’t use a tone that sounds like a command."

"To become a great Assassin, isn’t it necessary to disguise your emotions?"

Leng Qingying started to retort but then stopped herself. "Mm, you’re right."

"I was wrong."

"Brother Lu Cang, can you teach me how to become a powerful Assassin?"

Leng Qingying stiffly walked over and grabbed Lu Cang’s small hand.

She awkwardly pressed herself against his body.

’Ugh... where did you learn these moves? There’s zero allure to it.’

"Alright, alright, I’ll teach you..."

"But my time is limited. And you’re an Assassin. I can only teach you how to fight. As for how to embody the Assassin’s code, you’ll have to figure that out for yourself."

"Every day, I’ll guide you for forty minutes before I go to sleep."

Leng Qingying nodded seriously. "Yes, I understand."

"Master Lu Cang."

’Master? Unbelievable. I’ve somehow become part of the ’master’ generation.’

Having received Lu Cang’s promise, Leng Qingying left happily.

Lu Cang shook his head, an amused, knowing smile on his face.

He turned and looked at the pile of raw materials on the table.
