The Nine Cauldrons

Book 7 Chapter 25 Swimming Pisces Body Art

The waves surged in the Nine Treacherous Rhythm Currents.

Teng Qingshan dragged a thick and sturdy iron rope attached to the tungsten wood vessel and proceeded forward. A series of waves collided against the tungsten wood vessel, dissipating into a snow white blossom. This Nine Rhythm Treacherous Currents circulated around Bright Moon Island depths reaching a hundred Li. Teng Qingshan proceeded southeast diagonally and dragged the tungsten wood vessel a few thousand Li before he finally exited the Nine Rhythm Treacherous Currents.

From afternoon until late at night, he had swum and dragged the tungsten wood vessel until it finally exited the Nine Rhythm Treacherous Currents.

Woosh!

With the large iron rope raised above his shoulders in his two hands, Teng Qingshan leaped back into the tungsten wood vessel.

“Big Brother Teng, I’ll make you something to eat.” Seeing this, Li Jun immediately ran down to the inner cabin.

“This time was quite the work.” Teng Qingshan’s muscles were numb. “Dragging a large boat through a violent sea like the Nine Rhythm Treacherous Currents and swimming against the currents for a few thousand Li took approximately twelve hours, truly tiring! It was even more tiring than battling against a North City army of a hundred thousand soldiers.”

Even though Teng Qingshan was an inner strength expert, he was also really tired at this moment.

Even an innate expert using his bare hands would have a hard time swimming out of the Nine Rhythm Treacherous Currents, let alone dragging a large boat. Plus, it was an entire thousand Li!

“If I calculate according to how fast I could swim in my previous life, I would be swimming against the current in the Treacherous Currents with the speed of one hundred Li per hour.” Teng Qingshan also felt at ease.

At this moment, Li Jun walked out from the cabin door.

“Big Brother Teng, you must be tired. Have some pastries and tea. The pastries are still a little warm.” Li Jun held a plate and a cup of hot water. Teng Qingshan saw this and cleaned the pastries in just a few mouthfuls. Standing beside Teng Qingshan, Li Jun looked at him and laughed, “Don’t rush, there’s still more inside of the cabin.”

Teng Qingshan was astonished. “How many are there in the cabin?”

“When you were in seclusion, I went to the town several times and found out that there were quite a lot of meat buns, steamed bun, and such. I ended up buying a lot of them, so there’s still a lot inside the cabin!” Li Jun laughed, “They’re all dried, so they can last us for a long time. I also bought a few large water tanks filled with water.”

Drifting through the sea, Teng Qingshan didn’t need to drink water since he could rely on his pores to absorb the moisture of Heaven and Earth.

However, Li Jun was still at the peak of Postliminary Realm, so she still needed to drink water.

“You bought water? Actually, I already had a solution for all our water needs,” Teng Qingshan said.

“What solution?” Li Jun was startled.

“It’s quite simple. We’ll connect two tanks together with an iron tube. One of them will be empty, the other filled with seawater. I’ll use my Innate True Origin to heat the seawater in the water tank, boiling the water into steam; the steam will then flow into the empty water tank and condense into water for you to drink,” Teng Qingshan explained casually.

Teng Qingshan’s Innate True Origin could even cremate a human with just a little bit of its power.

“Huh?” Li Jun slightly doubted, “Isn’t that still seawater? How can I drink it?”

Hearing this, Teng Qingshan froze.

“Alright, don’t ask. It’s getting late, you should rest.” Teng Qingshan didn’t want to say too much. The difference between seawater and distilled water and the process distillation were all simple things, but Teng Qingshan didn’t want to explain how he knew this information.

It was already springtime, so the monsoon had already reversed. Teng Qingshan controlled the two sails and tried to drift along with the wind as much as possible, but it was clear that the speed of the tungsten wood vessel was much slower than it was when it had just started its voyage.

“Walla~”

The seawater rippled, seemingly tranquil. On the far eastern sea horizon, the sun was only half visible, the early sunlight sprinkling across the surface of the sea.

The tungsten wood vessel slowly drifted.
