Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 156

"Are you going to Jiangzhu Island?"

The ticket-selling monk asked again.

Jiangzhu Island is just a small island. The blood rock clams on the island are not valuable, and there are not many sea beasts nearby. The monks who go there will not encounter one for several days.

After getting the definite answer, the ticket-selling monk pointed to a large ship parked on the beach and said: "This ship is going to Longwei Island. It will pass by Jiangzhu Island on the way. Just tell the helmsman on the ship and get off the ship on the way. Also, there are no extra private rooms on the ship now, so if you don’t mind staying in the cabin, I’ll give you a cheaper price.”

"No more private rooms?" Luo Qingli glanced at the three-story ship in front of him.

Generally speaking, on a passenger ship like this, the first floor is where the crew and sailors rest, or is the choice of some monks who cannot afford to rent elegant rooms, while the second and third floors are all private rooms, which provide better privacy and of course the price. Just more expensive.

On such a big ship, there should be at least dozens of private rooms, but there are not even one left?
The ticket-selling monk said calmly: "Our Binhai City depends on the sea. Many monks make a living by hunting sea beasts. There are many people coming and going to Longwei Island every day. Many private rooms have been reserved early and can be rented every day. There are very few private rooms or private rooms, first come first served. If you really want a private room, there will be a boat tomorrow morning. Come here early and you might be able to grab one. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

Luo Qingli didn't want to cause so much trouble. Anyway, Jiangzhu Island was not far away. If the ship was fast enough, it could be reached within a day. It didn't matter if she waited in the cabin for a while.

"Okay, give me a boat ticket."

"Okay, I'll charge you twenty spirit stones." After paying the money, the monk who sold the ticket gave her a jade plaque and said sideways: "Fellow Taoist, please."

Luo Qingli walked onto the deck with the jade plaque. At this time, another group of people came to the ticket office. The leader was a handsome young man wearing a blue shirt. He was followed by two men and one woman. Three monks, all of them were Zhu. base period.

The monk who sold the tickets hurried forward to greet the visitor, holding a few jade plaques in his hand and passing them over, "Mr. Ning, the private room you want has been prepared. It's on the third floor. It's a good location. Push the window. You can see the sea view.”

"It's work."

The young man in blue shirt nodded with a smile. Luo Qingli glanced at him unintentionally before entering the cabin. When he saw the young man from Zhilan Yushu in front of him, his eyes suddenly stopped and he raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Ning Shen?"

When Luo Qingli first came to this continent, she met three monks from the Canghai Sect. Among them, Han Jinyu and Du Feng later reunited in the secret place of the Miasma Forest, but the other young man, Ning Shen, she did not meet again. Never encountered it.

Speaking of Ning Shen, he is also a leader among the younger generation of Canghaizong. He has successfully built a foundation and has achieved some success in alchemy. He can be said to be a rare young talent in Nanzhao.

After almost ten years of separation, Ning Shen is already in the middle stage of foundation building, and his appearance has not changed much, except that his facial contours are stronger and more distinct, and he looks much more mature than before.

This Binhai City was originally the territory of the Canghai Sect, so it was not unusual for Ning Shen to appear here.

Luo Qingli looked to the side of Ning Shen again. Among the three monks beside him, there were actually acquaintances she knew. One of the two male cultivators was Fang Jingshan, who had been together in the secret place of the Miasma Forest, and now Zhu Zhu In the early stage of his career, as for the other young man in purple, it was a bit surprising.

When Luo Qingli settled in Yaowang City, he would occasionally attend sermons organized by the Sanxiu Alliance, although most of these sermons were for profit.

This young man in purple clothes was a member of the preaching club back then. Luo Qingli still had some impression that his name seemed to be Ji Ruochu.

Seven or eight years ago, Ji Ruochu had just established his foundation, and now he had reached the middle stage of foundation construction. He must have had some good opportunities.

As for the other female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, she had never seen it before.

After a brief glance, Luo Qingli withdrew his gaze and stepped into the cabin. At this time, Ning Shen raised his eyes as if feeling something, but found nothing except the monks coming and going.

Fang Jingshan, who was beside him, asked casually: "Senior Brother Ning, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Ning Shen shook his head, "Let's get on the boat."

The four of them went straight to the private room on the third floor, while Luo Qingli entered the cabin directly.

The cabin here is similar to the lobby of an inn. It is filled with tables. The monks gather together in small groups. The ship is about to set off at this time. There are many people in the entire cabin. The monks in the foundation period There are also many, maybe they are like her who did not rent a box, or maybe they are cheap in order to save some spiritual stones.

Luo Qingli found a place to sit in a corner, and soon a crew member came up and asked, "Senior, do you need tea or snacks?"

"No need." Luo Qingli dismissed the person with a wave of his hand, then turned over a jade slip and took it out.

A few days ago, she was at the inn. In addition to meditating and adjusting her breath, she also looked through the things she had bought at the bookstore. The piece of jade in her hand now is simply a collection of sea beasts, which basically covers all the things that may appear in the near sea. The types of monsters include not only the specific images of the monsters, but also their living habits, attack methods, and their own weaknesses, etc., all of which are recorded.

There were so many types of marine monsters that Luo Qingli couldn't even see them all. In addition, there might be some seabirds in the offshore. She was really curious about the monsters that Yan Jin needed her to claim. What species is it.

At this time, a loud horn sounded on the deck, which was a signal to remind passengers to set sail.

The destination of this ship is Longwei Island, which is about a three- to four-day voyage. It is actually a group of islands. The island group looks like the tail of a dragon from a distance, hence its name.

It was a good place to hunt sea beasts. There were not many gregarious beasts there, and there were very few high-level fifth- and sixth-level monsters. It was very suitable for monks in the foundation-building stage to hunt monsters to make a living.

Luo Qingli was looking through the jade slips in his hands idly when a female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building suddenly walked over to her table and said to her with a smile: "This fellow Taoist, the journey is boring, why not Want to sit over there? We are all monks of the same level, so we can just exchange our cultivation experiences and exchange some items with each other."

Luo Qingli glanced in the direction the female cultivator was talking about. There was an area where several tables were put together. They were separated by screens and surrounded by soundproof barriers. Looking around, there were already four or five foundation-building cultivators gathered there. We got together and had a great time talking.

This situation is often seen in some large teahouses and restaurants. Some monks like to make friends and organize such exchange meetings on the spot. In addition to chatting and communicating, they sometimes exchange some things they need.

Luo Qingli had just arrived and was really curious about Binhai's items, so he stood up and agreed happily.

The female cultivator smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Sun. I wonder what I should call you?"

"My last name is Pei."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Pei." The female cultivator surnamed Sun led her to the screen. She sat next to a muscular male cultivator and introduced, "Fellow Daoist Pei, this is my husband."

The muscular male cultivator stood up and said with a loud smile: "I have met Daoist Fellow Pei, You Dazhuang."

Luo Qingli returned the greeting.

This impromptu exchange meeting was organized by You Dazhuang and his wife. A total of seven people gathered at the end. Everyone sat around the shared table and greeted each other.

Except for her and the female cultivator surnamed Sun, the rest are all male cultivators. Luo Qingli's cultivation level is not the highest, but he undoubtedly looks the youngest, and he has not taken the Dingyan Pill. The unique vitality of young people cannot be replicated by Dingyan Dan.

Several people estimated the age of this female cultivator in their minds, and generally felt that she was not yet 50 years old. Although her dress was not eye-catching and gorgeous, she was close to the middle stage of foundation building before she was 50 years old. It's actually not bad among those big sects.

Seeing that everyone was already seated, You Dazhuang took the lead and raised his teacup, smiled and said: "It is fate that we meet in this cabin. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

After hearing this, everyone raised their glasses to welcome him.

You Dazhuang is a very enthusiastic and talkative person, and he also knows how to mobilize the atmosphere. The monks present were all strangers, but after You Dazhuang's few words of ridicule, the original restraint between them faded a lot. , looking peaceful and happy.

The female cultivator surnamed Sun leaned against You Dazhuang's side, looked at Luo Qingli and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei, judging from your accent, it doesn't seem like you're from Binhai, right?"

Luo Qingli nodded and said: "I came from the south. I wanted to wander around because I had never seen the sea before, so I came here to broaden my horizons. Only when I arrived did I realize that the cultural customs on the coast of the East China Sea really have a unique charm. , I really didn’t come here in vain.”

The other people present were all monks from Binhai. They all laughed dumbly when they heard this compliment.

You Dazhuang said cheerfully: "Not only that, our East China Sea coast is also rich in specialties. This is your first time here, Fellow Daoist Pei, so be sure to see more. There are many things that you can't buy elsewhere!"

Luo Qingli laughed and said, "That's exactly what we are planning to do."

Having said this, You Dazhuang also came up with the idea of ​​exchanging items, "Since we are all gathered together, why don't we all come and exchange some things we need?"

The rest of the people originally came here for this purpose. They are all monks who make a living by hunting monsters. They have a lot of monster pills and special spiritual objects by the sea. If they sell these things in the shops in Binhai City, the prices will definitely be low. It's [-]%, but if it's a private exchange, there's no need for the store to charge the difference.

Everyone took their things and put them in front of them. Luo Qingli also dug out some things from his storage bag.

The things in her hand were quite miscellaneous, and the most abundant of them were elixirs and spiritual plants. Luo Qingli took a few bottles of Zengyuan Pills and Rejuvenation Pills that are most commonly used by monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, as well as several spiritual herbs that were hundreds of years old. .

It can be said that almost all monks need elixirs, especially the monster-hunting monks who make a living by hunting.

Sure enough, everyone at the table looked at them one after another when they saw these things.

Generally speaking, the things monks are willing to exchange are things they don't need or are redundant.

Unless someone is particularly rich in elixirs, the average monk will not take out the elixirs in exchange for something at the exchange meeting - it is not enough for his own use, how can he exchange it for others?

You Dazhuang and the female cultivator surnamed Sun looked at each other and guessed that this fellow Taoist Pei was probably a disciple of some cultivating family or sect. Considering her age, it was indeed very consistent.

You Dazhuang laughed: "Since this is an exchange meeting organized by me, let's start with me first. Do you guys have a look and see what you like?"

He specifically said to Luo Qingli: "Fellow Daoist Pei, my wife and I hunted these demon pills near Longwei Island. This exquisite coral is at least 500 years old, and these pair of saber-toothed seal teeth, It’s also a good weapon refining material…”

Luo Qingli listened to his introduction one by one.

The demon elixirs in You Dazhuang's hands are all those of second- and third-level demon beasts. The couple is in the middle and early stages of foundation building. Even if they cooperate with each other, it is still difficult to hunt the fourth-order monsters.

She chose two third-level demon pills, and exchanged them with You Dazhuang for a bottle of rejuvenation pill and a bottle of yuan-increasing pill.

Seeing this, the others also introduced their own things to Luo Qingli. She picked a few items, and the elixirs and spiritual herbs in front of her were quickly swept away.

They took the things in their hands to sell them in shops in the city and the spiritual stones they earned could never buy these elixirs. Everyone felt quite satisfied and had a smile on their face.

When Luo Qingli glanced at the pile of debris in front of the female cultivator surnamed Sun, she found a white bead the size of a pigeon egg. The shape of the bead was somewhat irregular, with edges and corners around it, and it had a slight spiritual energy. What material was it made of? She found that her consciousness could not penetrate it.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, I wonder what this is?"

The female cultivator surnamed Sun glanced at it and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know this. It was cut out from the belly of a sea beast a few days ago. I have never seen it before. I took it to the grocery store in the city and the shopkeeper there I can’t tell what it is specifically, it’s probably the bones of a sea beast that hasn’t had time to fully digest it after devouring its prey. It’s of little value. If Fellow Daoist Pei is interested, I’ll give it to you.”

You Dazhuang got the elixir from her, and they became husband and wife. For such a trivial gadget, the female cultivator surnamed Sun was very generous.

Luo Qingli accepted the piece of "immortal bone" with a smile. She had almost exchanged everything she wanted, and the rest was for them to exchange.

After everything was over, You Dazhuang smiled and raised his glass again, and everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.

From previous conversations, Luo Qingli knew that most of these people were going to Longwei Island, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "You Daoyou, although the number of sea beasts is large, it should be limited. We go to Longwei Island every day." There are so many monster-hunting monks on the island, will one day they will hunt down all the low-level monsters in a certain sea area?"

The growth rate of monster beasts is far slower than that of humans. The age of a fourth-level monster beast is likely to have reached a thousand years old, but this age is still considered young among monster beasts.

The intelligence of monster beasts develops late, and no one has practiced so many fighting techniques. The number of newborn monsters is far less than that of monster monsters that are killed. In addition, it takes a lot of time to grow. If things go on like this, all low-level sea monsters will always be killed. .
