Forty li east of Zhenyang Temple was the seaport of Denghai County.
As the red sun began to rise, Senior Brother Xun led Zhao Lin and a group of young boys to the docks.
Their destination was a place in the sea called Three Mountains Island. Senior Brother Xun had revealed that the Space Array connecting the Xuanyuan Continent to this world was located on the island.
The sky had cleared, and most of the fishermen had already set out to sea, leaving only a few scattered ferries moored by the shore.
Senior Brother Xun told the boys to wait on the jetty while he walked over to a narrow shuttle boat. He spoke in a low voice to the lead boatman, "To Three Mountains Island."
"We're not going, not going!"
The boat captain waved his hands in refusal, shaking his head like a rattle.
Senior Brother Xun didn't waste any more words. He simply pulled a few Silver Notes from his robes. A conflicted look crossed the captain's face, but he finally nodded.
