Oh? You also want to go to Sanxian Island?
The old turtle's cloudy eyes fell on He Xiuyuan, with a hint of surprise in them.
It probably hadn't expected to see someone else at this moment.
But looking at this person, he seemed to be a poor scholar, and for some unknown reason, he had seen through the illusion and entered this place.
Yes, I occasionally heard that there are Fairies on Sanxian Island, and I wish to visit that place.
He Xiuyuan cupped his hands and said.
The old turtle looked He Xiuyuan up and down. Perhaps it had been a long time since anyone treated it with such politeness, so its words became a bit more numerous.
Where do you come from, and why are you going to Sanxian Island?
He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then bowed and smiled, "I come from the Mortal Realm, seeking eternal life here."
The old turtle listened to He Xiuyuan's words, its gaze surprised.
When this person spoke these words, he truly possessed a remarkable demeanor!
However, it seemed that the other party was merely a Mortal.
It was already incredibly difficult for them, these demons, to seek the Dao, yet for a Mortal to think of obtaining eternal life, it was perhaps a bit too presumptuous.
Tsk, kid, do you even deserve to go to Sanxian Island?
I advise you to quickly return to where you came from!
The snake demon on the turtle's back, upon hearing He Xiuyuan's words, instantly fixed its gaze on him and coldly snarled.
At this moment, the snake demon raised half its body, constantly flicking its tongue, its vertical pupils coldly staring at He Xiuyuan.
Upon hearing He Xiuyuan say he came from the Mortal Realm, it felt relieved.
He was just a Mortal, who had clearly stumbled into this illusion by accident and seen the old turtle.
This was indeed his Opportunity.
However, even with this Opportunity, whether he could ascend to Sanxian Island was not up to him.
It had expended so much effort to reach Sanxian Island.
This Mortal, who knows where he got the news, now also wants to have the Opportunity to enter Sanxian Island? Dream on!
He Xiuyuan listened, looking at the snake demon, which was coiled on the turtle's back and as thick as a man, his expression unchanged.
Whether or not he could get onto this turtle's back was not for this snake demon to decide.
The old turtle, hearing the snake demon's words, immediately became angry.
What, if I want to take someone to Sanxian Island, do I, this old man, have to ask you, this snake demon, first?
The old turtle turned its head, its gaze coldly fixed on the snake demon on its back, and asked in a cold voice.
It had let go of the impoliteness of these demons before, but now, even who it took to Sanxian Island had to be approved by this snake demon?
Might as well let the other party take it as a pet!
The snake demon shivered under the old turtle's gaze, then its eyes flickered as it defended itself, "I didn't mean that, it's just that there's never been an example of a Mortal going to Sanxian Island before."
The old turtle scoffed, no longer bothering with the snake demon, and turned to look at He Xiuyuan in front of it.
Are you a scholar?
The old turtle scrutinized He Xiuyuan and asked.
Somewhat, I was fortunate enough to pass the imperial examination for a scholar.
The old turtle was very pleased with this answer.
They say you scholars keep your promises, your word is as good as gold.
If you learn anything when you reach Sanxian Island, come back and teach me a thing or two as payment, what do you say?
The old turtle had ferried so many demons back and forth, but none of them were willing to teach it anything afterwards.
The old turtle had already seen through all of this.
If it hadn't had any other options, it wouldn't have continued to ferry these demons here.
But now there was a Mortal scholar, which was a bit different.
Compared to those demons, it felt that this poor scholar in front of it seemed more reliable.
He Xiuyuan was stunned. It seemed the rumors were true.
Looking at the old turtle's serious expression, He Xiuyuan readily nodded and agreed.
The old turtle was very pleased and immediately invited He Xiuyuan onto its back.
The old turtle's back was very high, but He Xiuyuan still managed to climb up smoothly. After He Xiuyuan was seated on its back, he began to wait.
Senior Turtle, why do you want others to learn something and then teach it to you, instead of asking them to deliver a message and consult the Fairies on the island about difficulties in Cultivating?
After He Xiuyuan sat down, he asked the old turtle, feeling a little strange.
The old turtle smiled, its laughter tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Those demons are all too busy with their own Cultivation, how could they have time to deliver messages for an old turtle like me?
If they could share what they've learned with me, this old turtle, that would be enough. I, this old turtle, would be content.
Clearly, the old turtle knew that asking these demons to help it inquire was impossible.
It was better to just have these demons share whatever they learned with it.
He Xiuyuan thought about it and realized it was true.
His question was a bit redundant.
The old turtle waited on the beach for a moment, and then a few more demons arrived.
These demons also had no intention of greeting the old turtle. Seeing that there were already many demons on the turtle's back, they immediately climbed onto its back and sat down.
When these demons got onto the turtle's back, they noticed He Xiuyuan beside them and were immediately surprised.
It seemed they hadn't expected there to be a Mortal on the turtle's back.
However, after inquiring further and learning that this person was specifically brought up by the old turtle, they dared not say more.
Soon, the old turtle would be leading the way. If they angered the old turtle and it capsized them in the sea, they would be finished.
After waiting for another moment, the old turtle finally began to move slowly, its massive body sliding into the sea. In just a moment, the huge turtle's back, like a small island, gradually moved into the ocean.
By the beach.
At this moment, the Jiantai Family's servants were still searching everywhere, trying to find the old turtle.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they still couldn't find any trace of the old turtle.
Speaking of which, where did that scholar go? Did any of you see him? I just saw him on the beach, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?
A servant of the Jiantai Family looked around, suddenly feeling a bit strange.
Such a large area, and he had just seen a scholar, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye?
Even if he walked away, he couldn't have walked that fast, could he?
Especially since the moon was so bright at this moment, the beach was clearly visible, and there was nowhere to hide anyone.
Yes, it's strange, where's that scholar?
The other servants also felt strange and quickly began searching around.
Come quickly and look, what is this!
Just as everyone was filled with doubt, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise and shouted loudly.
When the rest of the Jiantai Family servants arrived and looked down, a chill immediately ran through their hearts.
They saw that on a certain part of the beach, a very deep and large imprint had been left at some unknown time.
And this imprint, at a glance, clearly resembled a turtle shell!
And the size of each turtle shell imprint was as tall as a person.
This old turtle, it seems, had already appeared!
