Chapter 1854 - 17: Message Pavilion

"Look over there, that island is Thunder Island! You can rest a few days on Thunder Island before setting off again!"

The ancient ship sailed out of the Thunder Sea, and Old Smoke Gun pointed ahead where there was a vast island, the very same Thunder Island that Old Smoke Gun had been mentioning.

In the sea domain, powers were as numerous as ants.

This Thunder Island constituted a rather formidable force.

The Old Island Master, Lei Wanli, was a renowned figure in his day.

The Young Island Master, Lei Shaoli, after thirteen thousand years of cultivation, had already broken through to the Heavenly God Realm, with a future that can’t be underestimated.

"Thank you!"

Lin Feng and the others cupped their fists in gratitude.

This time, without Old Smoke Gun’s help,

their escape from danger would have been nearly impossible.

Naturally, they were aware of this, so they sincerely expressed their gratitude to Old Smoke Gun.

"Paid service, it’s what I do! No need to thank me! That’s my duty!"

"Time to disembark, until we meet again!"

Old Smoke Gun took a puff from his pipe and said.

"Take care!"

Everyone cupped their fists again, then soared skyward, heading towards Thunder Island.

Meanwhile, Old Smoke Gun shook the boat paddle, returning to the Thunder Sea.

He was still humming a tune.

"Ah, the shackles of fate cannot bind me!"

"Ah, the cursed power will ultimately be dissolved by me!"

"Through the long years, I have been ferrying people!"

"Heaven rewards the diligent, fate is finally going to change!"

...

Humming that strange tune, Old Smoke Gun paddled the boat, and before long, the ancient ship entered the Endless Thunder Sea.

...

Thunder Island is immense, and deep within Thunder Island stands the grand Thunder City.

One can see cultivators continuously flying in from all directions, landing outside Thunder City, then queuing up, each needing to pay three Source Crystal Stones to enter the city.

Although they had experienced life and death together, in truth, there was no real bond among this group, so there was no conversation on their way to Thunder Island.

After landing outside Thunder City, they queued, paid the crystal stones, and each entered the city.

Thunder City was quite bustling, with people coming and going, cries of street vendors incessantly ringing.

The sea domain has a distinct characteristic.

That is, there are many cultivators.

Few ordinary people.

Because the sea domain is too dangerous.

Therefore, ordinary people have a tough time surviving in the sea domain; hence, there are fewer ordinary people here.

However, the Sea Domain World occupies approximately seventy-two percent of Jiuzhou’s area.

The sea domain is far larger than the land.

Combined with the abundant resources in the sea domain.

The cultivators in the sea domain are endless, even exceeding those on land.

...

"Young master, it’s your first time here on Thunder Island, right? I’ve lived here since I was young and am very familiar with Thunder Island. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Just after Lin Feng entered the city, a lean cultivator nodded and bowed his way over.

"How do you know it’s my first time on Thunder Island?" Lin Feng’s brow slightly furrowed.

The lean cultivator replied, "I typically observe unfamiliar faces and make a living as their guide to earn some Source Crystal Stones. Since this is my job, I dare say I have an eye for this."

Lin Feng nodded.

He thought of a saying.

Never use your hobby to challenge someone else’s livelihood.

Which truly applies now.

In Lin Feng’s view, this cultivator recognizing his first visit to Thunder Island was surprising.

But this is his job.

He can discern details.

Clearly, he has some skill.

...

Lin Feng took out ten Source Crystal Stones and tossed them to the lean cultivator, saying, "This is for you. First, lead me to a place where I can gather various information!"

The lean cultivator eagerly accepted the ten Source Crystal Stones, his eyes lighting up as he quickly tucked them away.

Then, with a fawning expression, he said, "Please follow me, young master!"

Typically, others give just one Source Crystal Stone for the service.

Lin Feng, however, rewarded him with ten.

This naturally delighted the lean cultivator.

"What’s your name?" Lin Feng asked.

"I am called Ge Er!" The lean cultivator promptly replied.

Lin Feng nodded, not asking further.

Ge Er led Lin Feng to a place called the "Message Pavilion."

"Is this Message Pavilion the place for information exchange?" Lin Feng asked.

Ge Er nodded and said, "The Message Pavilion boasts the most effective information network, even surpassing the one organized by the Mercenary Association in the inland. Thus, many messages can be inquired here."

"Alright!"

Lin Feng nodded and then entered the Message Pavilion.

Ge Er evidently knew people inside the Pavilion and quickly led an adult over.

"I am Sun Qiantao, a steward of the Message Pavilion. How may I address you, young master?" The cultivator introduced himself, cupping his fists.

"Lin Feng!"

...

Sun Qiantao, smiling, said, "I heard you want to inquire about some news. Please, follow me to the VIP room for a detailed conversation!"

Lin Feng nodded and went to the VIP room with Sun Qiantao.

He inquired about the Ruins Battlefield Thunder God Inheritance from Sun Qiantao.

He learned that the Ruins Battlefield Thunder God Inheritance was unlikely to appear in the short term, as the prohibition has yet to dissipate.

Without the prohibition dissipating.

It is impossible to enter the Ruins Battlefield.

Let alone reach the place of Thunder God Inheritance.

Thus, everyone is waiting.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Lin Feng subsequently spent a large sum to have the Message Pavilion investigate Senior Dugu Ya.

The Mercenary Association’s news from the Inland World was quite limited.

Lin Feng now harbors some doubt, wondering if Senior Dugu Ya might be in the Sea Domain World?

The Message Pavilion’s information network spans the sea domain.

Lin Feng hopes it can help find information on Senior Dugu Ya.

Lin Feng needs information about his parents from Dugu Ya.

Even to find out where his mother is being suppressed.

...

"Young Master Lin, this is a specially crafted Communication Jade Talisman from our Message Pavilion. You can use this jade to contact me directly, and as soon as we find the news, I will get in touch with you immediately!"

Sun Qiantao handed Lin Feng a Jade Talisman.

"Alright! I hope you can find the information I want."

Lin Feng nodded.

He didn’t linger in the Message Pavilion; after leaving, he asked Ge Er to lead him to where he could buy top-notch poison.

Ge Er led Lin Feng to the black market within Thunder Island.

With Ge Er’s introduction, Lin Feng met a cultivator specializing in selling poison within the black market.

To his surprise, this cultivator turned out to be an incredibly alluring lady, which astonished Lin Feng.

It is truly unimaginable that such an alluring lady could be an expert in poison craft.
