In the following days, whenever Guo Feilong encountered a village or town, he would stay at an inn or tavern there. If there were no villages or towns along the way, he would either find a cave to rest and cultivate or have Erha dig one out with its claws.

In short, he avoided resting in open areas.

A few days later, Guo Feilong arrived at the ship port built by the Primordial Sect on the Endless River.

Next to the port was a cultivation market where immortal cultivators could enjoy food, drinks, and entertainment, and also purchase elixirs and spiritual instruments for their cultivation practice.

There were over twenty ships of various sizes at the port, each heading to different cultivation power ports across the river.

One of the larger ships was bound for the Wanhua City territory port, departing every ten days.

Guo Feilong arrived just in time, as the ship was set to sail to Wanhua City territory that afternoon.

The ship charged a fare of 300 spirit stones per person.

There were cabins available on the ship, but they required an additional fee.

A standard room cost 10 spirit stones per day.

A deluxe room cost 30 spirit stones per day.

A luxury room cost 100 spirit stones per day.

Guo Feilong paid the spirit stones and boarded the ship.

The ship was enormous.

It was about a thousand meters long.

Over two hundred meters wide.

It had a total of eight levels.

It was several times larger than the largest aircraft carrier on Earth.

The ship was not made of wood.

It was a medium-quality sacred treasure forged from steel.

Even a Golden Elixir stage cultivator couldn't damage it.

The number of cultivators heading to Wanhua City was far more than Guo Feilong had imagined, nearly ten thousand.

At 300 spirit stones per person, the tickets for ten thousand people amounted to three million spirit stones.

The journey took five days.

The accommodation fees for ten thousand people on the ship were at least another one million spirit stones.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

A round trip would cost about eight hundred thousand spirit stones.

And there were another twenty to thirty ships heading to different cultivation powers across the river.

This port was indeed a significant source of income for the Primordial Sect, truly a gold mine.

Most of the people taking the ship to the opposite cultivation world were there for trade, dealing in spirit herbs and spirit medicines for alchemy, materials for crafting, ores, and so on.

Some were simply there to broaden their horizons.

The cultivation world across the Endless River was called the Northern Borders Continent, while the continent where the Spirit Creek Sect was located was called the Arctic Continent, which was poor in cultivation resources and not as prosperous as the Northern Borders Continent.

According to the records Guo Feilong had read in the Spirit Creek Sect, the Northern Borders Continent, spanning millions of miles, wasn't considered large in the cultivation world.

It was said that there were also the Central Lands Continent, Southern Wilderness Continent, Eastern Domain Continent, Western Continent, and overseas continents, among others.

In short, the cultivation world was vast, far beyond comparison with Earth.

After all, the area of the Spirit Creek Sect alone was already several times the total land and ocean area of Earth.

And the Arctic Continent had more than a dozen cultivation powers like the Spirit Creek Sect.

The Endless River, three thousand miles wide, was like a boundless sea, with no sight of the opposite shore.

Buzz!

In the afternoon, the large ship set sail.

The ship traveled at a speed of about 250 miles per hour, covering 6,000 miles in a day.

The ninth-level Qi Refining stage was considered advanced among the lower-level cultivators.

Guo Feilong didn't pretend to be poor by renting a standard room for 10 spirit stones, nor did he opt for the luxury room at 100 spirit stones. Instead, he chose a deluxe room for 30 spirit stones.

The room was over thirty square meters, more luxurious than most five-star hotels on Earth. The floor was paved with pure gold, and the decorations on the walls were either gold or silver.

The ship offered many entertainment options, such as tea rooms for chatting, theaters for listening to music and watching plays, as well as separate theater and high-class brothel venues.

The theater and high-class brothel were distinct.

The performers in the theater were female cultivators with spiritual roots, each of them stunningly beautiful, selling their art but not their bodies. However, if the price was right, it wasn't impossible for them to sell their bodies.

The women in the high-class brothel were ordinary women without spiritual roots, all under twenty-two years old, each very beautiful, with at least an 8.5 in looks and figure. For 10 spirit stones, one could have them as wives and concubines for a day, taking them back to the room for enjoyment.

The theater and high-class brothel were also one of the main sources of income on the ship.

Some cultivators, eager to spend time with the theater's art-selling but not body-selling female cultivators, didn't treat spirit stones as money but as water.

With nothing else to do, Guo Feilong also went to the theater to sit for a while, even inviting two beautiful second-level Qi Refining female cultivators.

The two female cultivators were both in their prime, with fair and tender skin that seemed to ooze water when pinched—don't ask where, just the cheeks.

Although the theater's female cultivators sold art and not their bodies, hugging and light flirting were allowed, much like the singing companions in Earth's KTV nightclubs.

Guo Feilong, a 130-year-old man with a harem of wives and concubines, wasn't a modest person. Having spent the money, it would be a waste not to enjoy some light flirting.

During their idle chat, Guo Feilong learned that all the theater's female cultivators on the ship were not forced; they came voluntarily.

They all had poor spiritual root qualifications and no family background, making it particularly difficult to earn cultivation resources.

Because of their beauty, they were easily bullied by more powerful advanced cultivators.

For the sake of cultivation resources, they voluntarily came to the ship to work as theater female cultivators, earning high spirit stone income.

If they encountered a generous customer, the tips they received could equal a year or several years of income for ordinary low-level cultivators.

Some female cultivators came to the theater specifically to find wealthy patrons.

It's known that female cultivators are no different from ordinary women; some are beautiful, while others are extremely ugly, with most being average-looking.

Beautiful female cultivators were very rare in the cultivation world and were deeply loved by male cultivators.

Some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators specifically came to the ship's theater to find beautiful female cultivators to marry as wives or concubines.

After chatting for a while, Guo Feilong suddenly asked, "If I wanted to spend some time with you two, how many spirit stones would it take?"

One of the young, beautiful female cultivators shook her head, "I'm sorry, I sell art, not my body. I don't do flesh trade."

The other young, beautiful female cultivator replied without hesitation, "20 spirit stones for one time, 100 spirit stones for a day." She said it quite fluently.

Ordinary low-level Qi Refining stage cultivators could only earn about three spirit stones a month, so 20 spirit stones equaled six to seven months' income for an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator.

It's like an ordinary person on Earth earning 4,000 yuan a month, with six to seven months equaling 24,000 to 27,000 yuan, which is not cheap at all, and ordinary people simply couldn't afford it.

100 spirit stones for a whole day equaled tens of thousands of yuan, something only wealthy people could afford.

With over two million spirit stones in his storage bag, Guo Feilong could certainly afford it. He turned to the young, beautiful female cultivator who had initially refused and asked, "If I give you 1,000 spirit stones, would you accompany me for a whole day?"

1,000 spirit stones were like asking a woman on Earth, "I'll give you a million yuan, can you be my wife for a day?"

The previously refusing female cultivator's heart raced, greed taking over. After a slight hesitation, she nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Indeed, in the face of enormous benefits, many girls couldn't tighten their belts.

Guo Feilong suddenly chuckled and said, "I'm very sorry, I was just teasing you two. I don't have that many spirit stones."
