Chapter 680: Zhongsha Domain
Seeing that the two seniors were noncommittal, Wang Chenggu continued: "The farthest thing that can be reached to the south is the Zhongsha Domain, and the Zhongsha Domain is also a group of islands, but the number is much smaller, so the Zhongsha Domain is not as good as the Dongsha Domain in this regard, however, it is said that this Zhongsha Domain is just a transit place, and there are more extensive continents to the south, and there are also higher-level immortal cultivators, but these news are all hearsay, and I have never been so far, I don't know if it is true or not." ”
A wider continent? A higher-level immortal cultivator? Qingyang couldn't help but be fascinated, and it took a long time before he said, "How far is this Zhongsha Domain from Purple Smoke City?" ”
Wang Chenggu said: "The Zhongsha Domain is about seven million miles away from Purple Smoke City, and it takes seven years for the spirit ship to sail, and the distance is not very close. If the predecessors are just to avoid the enemy, there is no need to go so far, there are still many islands suitable for monks to live along the way, and basically there are monks to live, and the demon beasts dare not harass easily, not to mention anything else, there are many within hundreds of thousands of miles near this Purple Smoke City, and it is easy to choose the one that is satisfactory. ”
This Wang Chenggu also saw that the two seniors were easier to speak, so he said a few more words, but Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan had already decided to leave the Kyushu Continent, so naturally they would not choose to live in seclusion near Purple Smoke City. Those small islands are sparsely populated and lack resources, so they can't support the cultivation of high-level cultivators at all, and without cultivation resources, can't they be like seducing souls and making mulberry sails to be pirates?
Qingyang hesitated for a long time and said, "Senior Sister Xiao, I have decided, I will go to this Zhongsha region to have a look." ”
Xiao Yuhan nodded and said, "I also think that this Zhongsha Domain can be visited, Senior Brother Qingyang, I'm afraid we will have to continue to walk all the way." ”
Qingyang doesn't have any opinion on this, whether he looks down on Xiao Yuhan's character or not, the two are still relatively familiar with each other, at least compared to those monks who have never dealt with each other, Qingyang believes in Xiao Yuhan more, not to mention that this trip to Zhongsha Domain must be on the same spirit boat, whether he wants to or not, the two of them will definitely go all the way.
Qingyang didn't dwell on this problem anymore, took out a few miscellaneous pills obtained from Hu Xiaobei and Hong Shenghe, and rewarded them to Wang Chenggu casually. These things are of little use to Qingyang, they take up space on their bodies, and it is too troublesome to deal with them, but for a low-level monk like Wang Chenggu, it is a rare good thing, Wang Chenggu was overjoyed, this senior is really too generous, he just asked a few words, and gave so many things.
Wang Chenggu finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, hurriedly put the things in his arms, and then raised his head to look at Qingyang, he knew that Qingyang's predecessors must still have an explanation.
At this time, I listened to Qingyang's explanation: "You don't have to follow in the past two days, go and help us inquire, where is the spirit ship from Purple Smoke City to Zhongsha Domain parked, when will the latest trip depart, and what is the price, if you have news, you will come to report it as soon as possible, just now these are your errand expenses for the past few days, and there will be rewards when things are done." ”
The things that Qingyang rewarded Wang Chenggu just now, although he didn't have time to take a closer look, but a rough estimate can roughly judge that it is almost worth a half spirit stone, which is his income for several months before, but Qingyang's predecessors rewarded it casually, and said that this is just the errand fee in recent days, and there is a reward when the matter is done, and it is really developed now.
There is a way that money can make ghosts grind, Qingyang's reward is in place, and Wang Chenggu is also energetic in doing things, and repeatedly promised that the news will be delivered within three days, and then he left the inn.
Of course, Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan couldn't completely believe Wang Chenggu's words, and in the next two days, the two also went outside to inquire about the relevant situation, and after two days of visiting, they found that what Wang Chenggu said was the truth, and they didn't play any tricks in front of them.
On the third day, Wang Chenggu sent the news back on time, the spirit ship from Purple Smoke City to the Zhongsha Region was organized by a business called Wantong Pavilion, there were not many spirit ships on this route, a total of four spirit ships on both sides, on average, only once every four years.
Recently, a spirit ship has just returned, and it usually takes a year to repair it according to the convention, but recently the rise of the Blood Demon Sect, the drastic changes in the Kyushu continent, and there are more monks who have left, so the people on the boat have been booked almost, as long as the people must be full, the spirit ship will depart in advance.
In other words, if they can't catch up this time, the next trip will have to wait until at least four years later, Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan are not willing to stay in Purple Smoke City for longer, so after getting the news, the two of them followed Wang Chenggu to the Wantong Pavilion to book a spirit ship.
Ziyan City is very large, and the merchants of Wantong Pavilion are in another urban area, Wang Chenggu took Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan and walked for nearly two hours before arriving at the place. In addition to transporting monks, they will also bring some goods that are in demand in the two places on the way, and directly wholesale them to local businesses to earn some profits.
Because of this, the shops of Wantong Pavilion are relatively remote, and there are not many people who usually come and go, and the person in charge of the reception of Wantong Pavilion is called Zhao Steward, who is an old man in the middle of the foundation, with a kind attitude and a smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and he is used to doing business at a glance.
The spirit ships of Wantong Pavilion are all clearly priced, there is no need to bargain, three hundred and fifty spirit stones per person, this spirit stone is not a large amount for a foundation building monk, even if some qi refining monks grit their teeth, they can accept it. After some small talk, Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan each paid the spirit stone to Steward Zhao, got two brands, and booked the location of the spirit boat.
Three hundred and fifty spirit stones seem like a lot, but in fact, it is not much compared to the seven years that the spirit ship has walked on the sea, because the spirit ship also needs to consume spirit stones to sail, and the huge spirit ship is not at all driven by the monk's true yuan, so there is a spirit stone drive device on the spirit ship, and the spirit stone is used to provide energy, and the monk only needs to assist on the side.
The spirit ship needs to consume at least ten spirit stones for one day, which is more than three thousand in a year, and the principals, stewards, and crew members on the ship need almost so many temporaries in a year, that is to say, in seven years, the cost of a spirit ship alone is more than 50,000 spirit stones.
Fifty thousand spirit stones, at least one hundred and forty people need to earn it back, and the total number of positions on a ship is only two hundred, and Wantong Pavilion actually doesn't earn much. This time it was because of the drastic changes in the Kyushu mainland, and there were more monks going out, and it was often when it was time to leave the ship, but there were not enough to gather a hundred guests, and more of them relied on the profits from bringing goods back and forth to make up for the losses.
