Chapter 353: The Immortal is Cultivating on the Island!

After admiring the red flag for a while, Ning Fei walked further into the distance.

He wanted to take a good look at this miraculous island.

James Shoal was an island composed of underwater shoals and coral debris.

The majority of its mass lay buried beneath the sea.

When the ocean waves grew large enough, the seawater would even wash right over the island.

Ning Fei looked outward; beyond this point was no longer Huaxia's territorial waters.

For now, he intended to thoroughly explore the great rivers and mountains of his own country. Later on, he would head to other places.

Places like the Arctic to see the auroras, Antarctica to see the penguins, or the world's largest ocean trench for an expedition.

"It wasn't easy to make a trip to James Shoal; I should leave behind some sort of memento."

"It's been a long time since I practiced my sword forms."

"I'll practice a set of sword techniques right here."

Taking the Peach-wood Sword from his kayak, Ning Fei spoke to the viewers in his live stream.

Hearing that Ning Fei was finally going to perform a sword routine, the veteran fans grew incredibly excited.

"Oh my god, Temple Master Ning, you finally remembered that you know sword techniques!"

"Back in the early days of watching Temple Master Ning's streams, his sword practice was exactly what got me hooked!"

"I got hooked when I saw him practicing his sword forms on the mountain peak, right when that crowd was praying to the gods!"

"He's finally going to practice his sword again. I thought he had completely forgotten."

"Front row, watching closely, video recorder is ready!"

The netizens' enthusiasm soared.

A Daoist robe and a Wooden Sword were inherently attractive elements.

Coupled with Ning Fei's outstanding looks and temperament, the combination made women's hearts flutter and men stare in awe.

Because it was just so damn cool!

The sword stance began.

The sword technique Ning Fei chose this time was once again the Wudang Sword.

The Wudang Sword featured sweeping, expansive movements. Its bearing was the most domineering, making it look incredibly elegant when executed.

At first, his movements weren't fast. They were like the autumn wind and the bright moon, calm and tranquil.

Then, his speed gradually increased. The sword momentum grew fierce, with every stance and strike brimming with a profound rhythm.

This sword practice was a truly brilliant performance.

Seeing such a scene, the netizens felt an exceptional sense of relaxation.

The drone ascended once more.

On the vast, boundless ocean sat an isolated island, far removed from the mortal world.

And upon this isolated island far removed from the mortal world, a Daoist priest gracefully practiced his sword forms.

Sometimes, when the scenery and the actions perfectly complemented each other, it created a unique kind of chemistry.

Ning Fei's sword practice was exactly like that.

The artistic conception of the entire live stream was breathtakingly beautiful.

From a distance, the scene looked exactly like the protagonist of a high-budget immortal cultivation blockbuster practicing their arts.

"If I hadn't been watching from the very beginning and just stumbled upon this scene, I would have thought our country actually had immortals, and that an immortal was cultivating right here on this island."

One netizen remarked.

His words won everyone's unanimous agreement.

"Now that you mention it, it really does look like it."

"Rare footage of an immortal cultivating early in the morning."

"If someone edited together videos of Temple Master Ning's past sword routines and added some cultivation music and special effects, people might actually believe he's a real immortal."

"All I can say is, badass."

Seeing such a scene truly sparked people's imaginations.

Mainly because the background Ning Fei had chosen for his sword practice was simply too perfect.

Practicing the sword on the isolated island of James Shoal at the southernmost tip of Huaxia—this was absolutely an unprecedented first.

A full routine of the Wudang Sword took about ten minutes to complete.

Finally, Ning Fei sheathed his sword and pulled back his stance.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the quest."

In Ning Fei's mind, the System's voice rang out once again.

The quest reward was a Submarine Type B for live streaming—a Bionic Tuna Submarine equipped with attack and protection functions.

There was also another high-tech submarine meant for human occupancy, capable of withstanding the pressure of eight thousand meters below the sea.

For Ning Fei, these rewards were fantastic.

Ning Fei lingered on James Shoal for a little while longer.

He hadn't applied for a visa, nor had he handled the procedures to visit any other countries, so he didn't plan on traveling abroad during this sea voyage.

Having seen enough of the scenery, Ning Fei paddled his kayak, slowly departing as he rowed toward the Qingfeng.

At this moment, Little Dog, Little Fox, and the rest were all enjoying the cool air in the air-conditioned cabin.

They were already close to the equator, and the weather was sweltering. It would only get somewhat comfortable at night.

Ning Fei boarded the ship and stowed the kayak. Having taken in the sights on James Shoal, he was in a very good mood.

Moreover, having just completed a quest, he also wanted to see exactly what the rewards looked like.

"Temple Master Ning, where do you plan to go next?"

Watching the stream, the netizens couldn't help but ask.

Live streaming on the open sea was incredibly exciting, so everyone wanted to know his next move.

"The ocean here is already extremely far from the mainland. The seabed must be filled with wondrous sights."

"So, I plan to find a unique spot and dive into the deep sea to take a look."

Ning Fei told the netizens.

"Dive into the deep sea?"

"Are you going to wear a diving suit?"

"Diving again? I still remember the time we saw that sperm whale."

The viewers began chatting with Ning Fei.

Ning Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was the middle of the afternoon and the weather was far too hot. He intended to take off his Daoist robe and change into a tank top and shorts.

Among the System's silver lottery rewards, there were also Daoist robes.

Ning Fei sifted through them and actually found a suitable outfit.

A dark blue short-sleeved cloth shirt, a pair of pure white cloth shorts, and a pair of black slippers.

The material of both the shirt and shorts was excellent, feeling incredibly comfortable against the skin.

Ning Fei then placed the black Cooling Hat on his head, which would help keep his body cool.

The moment he stepped out of the cabin, the crowd let out another gasp of amazement.

This outfit was simply too handsome.

Both the short-sleeved shirt and shorts featured Huaxia-style elements. They were vibrant and energetic yet bore an antique charm. The two cuffs were loose, and the collar was wide open, looking exceptionally cool and breathable.

"Wow, this outfit looks so good!"

"Temple Master Ning, please drop a link to buy the same outfit!"

"I want to buy it too, give us a link!"

"Temple Master Ning, why don't you start doing e-commerce? You'd absolutely blow up!"

"How could Temple Master Ning stoop to selling merchandise?"

The shorts and short-sleeved shirt left everyone marveling, and they all begged for a shopping link.

What Ning Fei didn't expect was that this Daoist outfit he picked from the System would end up feeding quite a few clothing factories over in Yiwu.

In just a few days, the exact same shirts and shorts popped up all over Taobao, instantly becoming the hottest trend of the summer.

Whether in college towns or commercial districts, everywhere one looked, there were young men wearing dark blue loose cloth shirts and wide white shorts.

They even released a women's version of the outfit, which also sold out entirely.

This was something Ning Fei never could have anticipated.

After changing his clothes, Ning Fei glanced at the barrage. Seeing that the chat was entirely focused on his outfit, he simply smiled.

Then, he said to the viewers, "This time, I'll be taking a submarine to dive to the ocean floor. I estimate I'll be going down to some pretty deep waters."

"The lower cabin of the Qingfeng Cruise Ship has a dedicated bay for the Submarine. The Submarine can be deployed directly from inside the cruise ship, which is very convenient."

Ning Fei had the blueprints for the Qingfeng Cruise Ship, so he was intimately familiar with its internal structure.

He knew exactly how the water and electricity were routed, and exactly where to access the pipes if repairs were needed.

Right in the very center of the Qingfeng Cruise Ship's hull were two mechanical hatches that opened like double doors. Above them was an airlock designed to prevent seawater from flooding in through the bottom.

The Submarine could be lowered straight down from inside the cruise ship, and it could also dock right back into the ship from beneath the sea.

This design suited his needs perfectly.

Hearing Ning Fei's explanation, the netizens were shocked once again.

"What? Temple Master Ning even has a submarine?"
