Chapter 258: The Threshold for Registration
At the horizon, the sun finally showed its head, and many monks came out of the cabin, came to the deck, and looked at the rising red sun together, and in the sparkling waves of the sea, a piece of land gradually appeared, and some monks could not wait to shout: "Yongding Island! That's Yongding Island!"
Changxing stands on the deck, looking into the distance, the shape of Yongding Island in the distance is like a crescent moon, the scenery is beautiful, floating on the sea surface like a mirage, the rolling mountains seem to be covered with a layer of green velvet blanket, there are unknown birds and beasts circling around the island, the boat is getting closer and closer, you can clearly see the bustling people coming and going on the wharf of Yongding Island, a lively scene.
Yongding Island is the largest island in the void sea, covering a wide area, east and west as long as 10,000 miles, the widest part of the north and south is also thousands of miles away, surrounded by the sea on all sides, rich in products, the island has a large population, most of them are immortals and mortals live together, so it is full of fireworks everywhere.
The wharf where the Shunfeng docked happened to be located in the middle of the crescent bay of Yongding Island, and the distance from the east and west ends of the island was almost equal.
The wharf was crowded with people, and when I saw a big ship docking, many hawkers and brokers had already surrounded me, and they followed the people who got off the boat not far away, and asked with a smile on their faces:
"Immortal Chief, do you want to hunt beasts?
"Do you want to stay in a hotel, the aura is abundant, the scenery is beautiful......"
"Map! Map! Map of the sea around Yongding Island!"
“......”
These brokers, both mortals and monks, may have a hard life at sea, most of them have rough complexions, black, and full of vicissitudes, Changxing doesn't want to waste time, and plans to go directly to the Li family station to sign up, but a figure in the crowd made her pause.
It was a male cultivator who built the foundation, wearing a local costume, revealing his dark arms, wearing a hat on his head, covering the upper half of his face, and the bare skin under the hat seemed to be sunburned, with a black and red color, the man was selling something to passers-by, but he was extremely keenly aware of Changxing's gaze, and glanced at Changxing quickly.
"Fairy, do you want to stay in a hotel?" a timid voice came, and Changxing had to withdraw his gaze,
In front of her was a mortal girl of twelve or thirteen years old, looking at her with longing eyes.
Changxing waved his hand at her, and looked at the male cultivator again, trying to see his facial features clearly, but only saw a not very strong back quickly disappearing in the crowd.
Changxing hurriedly raised her feet and took two steps forward, but she paused again, she was sure that she didn't know the male cultivator, but the male cultivator gave her a strange sense of familiarity, she thought about it carefully but had no clue.
Just when Changxing was stunned, the girl asked again, "Where is the fairy going?"
Changxing's thoughts were interrupted again, he was inevitably a little annoyed, his face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at the girl, the girl seemed to be frightened by Changxing, her face turned pale, and the whole person couldn't wait to shrink into a ball, but she still stood on the ground: "Fairy! I'm cheap! Just a low-grade spirit stone! Please, hire me!"
As the girl spoke, her shoulders trembled slightly, and although her voice was timid, her eyes were full of firmness.
Changxing frowned slightly, his eyes swept through the crowd, a middle-aged strong man with a full face was staring at the girl, the trace of displeasure that Changxing had just risen, had long disappeared without a trace, raised his chin slightly, and said: "Okay, I'm looking for an inn, you can take me there." ”
When she heard this, the girl almost wept with joy,
His eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and he lowered his head again and said, "Yes!
As he spoke, the girl had already led the way in front, and the middle-aged strong man in the crowd saw this, spat on the ground, glared at the girl's back, and then turned and left.
Walking out of the dock and walking another street, Changxing called the girl, handed over a piece of lower grade spirit stone and said, "You can go." ”
The girl paused, looked at the spirit stone, hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the spirit stone, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, fairy!"
Changxing nodded slightly and walked away quickly.
Compared with mortals, although cultivators have many advantages, they are correspondingly more constrained by the laws of heaven and earth, and they can't meddle in mortal disputes at will.
Changxing bought a map, saw the direction clearly, and went straight to the east, although Yongding Island is the sphere of influence of the Li family, but because of the special location of the place, it is also the economic and cultural center of the Xuhai Sea, in addition to the Li family has a small scale of other courtyards here, other families and forces also have stations here, and the east of the wharf is the settlement area where the various forces are stationed.
Although the Li family's station on Yongding Island is only called a courtyard, the scale is comparable to a small immortal cultivation city, outside the gate, there are many monks who come to compete, Changxing looks at the endless monk team, and stands silently to the end.
"Fairy, do you need to queue up on your behalf?" An old man with gray hair stepped forward and looked at Changxing with a smile: "Only half a low-grade spirit stone is required to queue up on behalf of you." ”
"Don't. Changxing shook his head.
The old man didn't give up, and asked again: "Look at the fairy, isn't it from our East China Sea?"
Changxing was fine in line, but seeing that the team was making slow progress, he simply chatted with the old man: "What's the matter? If you are not from the East China Sea, can't you sign up?"
"Not really. The old man smiled: "But signing up is indeed a little more troublesome than that of local monks." ”
"Oh, what's the trouble? Tell me, say it, it's your own good. Changxing said, taking out two lower grade spirit stones and playing with them in his hands.
When the old man saw the spirit stone, his eyes lit up, and he said earnestly: "The Phantom Sea Realm is open, and the number of people who can enter it is limited, so when each family recruits manpower, it is natural to choose the strongest, and the Phantom Sea Realm is a secret realm that appears in the sea, and the inner environment, monsters and spirits are mostly unique to the sea, which is more suitable for local monks, and foreign monks are not good at coping, so the threshold for registration is a little higher, and even if the registration is passed, it is easy to be eliminated during the competition, and the little old man has all kinds of magic weapons and charms, specifically for ......"
"Isn't it enough to build a foundation?"
"You don't know?" said the old man's face was surprised.
Changxing shook his head: "I'll come here as soon as I get off the boat...... What are the thresholds you mean?"
"Building a foundation is a necessary condition, and in addition, you have to complete the designated tasks!"
"Designated mission?" Changxing looked at the old man in confusion.
The old man stroked a few whiskers under his chin with his hand, half-squinted his eyes, and was silent, Changxing saw this, threw the spirit stone in his hand, threw out a spirit stone, and said: "Give half first, make it clear, naturally I don't owe you!"
The old man quickly took the spirit stone into his arms with both hands, opened his mouth and smiled, revealing a few sparse teeth: "There are many kinds of designated tasks, including hunting beasts, treasure hunting, breaking through and other tasks
opportunities. ”
Changxing frowned slightly: Donghai actually discriminates against foreign monks like this?
"The fairy thinks too much!" Without waiting for Changxing to ask, the old man had already seen what Changxing was thinking, and said with a smile: "The East China Sea is alone, among which birds and beasts, spiritual objects and treasures, and environmental aura are very different from other places in the realm, many foreign monks come to the East China Sea for the first time, they are not very familiar with the situation in the East China Sea, and their strength has declined in all aspects, and completing the designated task is just a way to prove their ability......"
Changxing secretly pondered: It's just that I'm afraid that the foreign monks will pull back and waste the quota in vain! Besides, so many monks in the East China Sea can't enter, how can they let the outsiders take advantage? This designated task must not be simple!
Changxing simply left the team and asked, "Where is the mission list?"
The old man bent down and pointed in a direction, Changxing motioned for him to lead the way in front, and the old man said as he walked: "Does the fairy know anything else about the Illusory Sea Realm?"
Without waiting for Changxing to answer, the old man said again: "This Illusory Sea Realm is jointly controlled by various forces in the East China Sea, according to the ranking of the strength of the forces, the quota for entry is allocated, and every time it is opened, a maximum of five hundred people can enter, and the Li family, as the first one in the East China Sea, has the largest number of places, I heard that there are eighty people!"
"However, the Li family originally had many disciples, and there were many outstanding ones, it is said that these eighty people are easy to get together, but this time is different from the past, I heard that it is catching up with the internal changes of the Li family, and the trip to the Illusory Sea Realm is related to the family status of the descendants of the Li family......"
The old man said, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "The Li family recruited people this time, and they recruited them in the name of your young lady. ”
Changxing frowned: Why is this still involved in family fighting?
"It's strange that the little old man can't tell!" The old man glanced at Changxing, patted his cheek lightly, and said: "In fact, every time the Illusory Sea Realm opens, the Li family is like this, but this time, just in time for the granddaughter of a Yuanying elder of the Li family to come back, there is another force...... It is said that this Miss Biao is extraordinary, and in just a few months after returning home, she has already ranked among the eight young people of the Li family...... As long as the fairy has one more balance spirit stone, the little old man will tell you about this young lady......
"No need!" Changxing was not interested in this kind of gossip, so he simply interrupted sharply, and asked again: "Is it reliable for Miss Li Family Gongzi to recruit people?
The old man saw that there was a missing piece of spirit stone, and his face was depressed by two points, but he still replied: "That's natural, the quota of the Li family has been evenly distributed to several qualified young ladies and gentlemen, and the personnel are all determined by them, as long as the fairy wins, he will definitely get the quota." ”
Changxing nodded, that's it, as long as the quota is guaranteed, the rest is only to try your best!
After a while, Changxing had come to the front of the task list, and saw a high list about three feet long, with a few lines of big characters, the content was indeed a requirement for foreign monks to sign up, but it was consistent with what the old man said, the old man still had to babble something, Changxing had thrown out another low-grade spirit stone, and the old man had already taken the spirit stone and left with great gratitude.
It's not that Changxing doesn't want to inquire about the Li family's situation, it's just that this kind of family insider, the old man is an outsider, and he is still a mortal, and most of what he knows is hearsay, instead of wasting time spirit stones, it is better to get the quota to enter the Phantom Sea Realm first, and after establishing a relationship with the Li family, he will inquire slowly.
Changxing carefully read the content on the list, and chose the task in the middle: ten Gu Eagle Demon Pills, ten Pearlescent Fritillary Demon Pills, ten Flying Fish Demon Pills, and a Phantom Coral.
