Chapter 387 – Visiting Nansha Island
Chapter 387 – Boarding Nansha Island
“If senior is unfamiliar with Nansha Island, he can come to me at any time.”
Xu Chuniang nodded her head and answered, shedding the boat after recycling the formation materials and going up to the ferry.
It happened to be the turn of the Cheng family’s cultivators to be on duty at the ferry port today.
He revealed a hint of surprise upon seeing Cheng Surong.
“Su Rong? You disappeared for half a month without saying a word, your uncle was so anxious that he already went to the family head twice for you. Where exactly have you been these days?”
Cheng Su Rong had already thought of how to reply, she slightly lowered her head, her face showing a point of apology at the right time.
“I went out to sea half a month ago, I thought that I would be able to come back in three or five days, so I didn’t specifically mention it to uncle before I left. But I didn’t expect to encounter a storm at sea, which is why I’ve been delayed so far.”
That Cheng Family cultivator heard that he had encountered a storm and was speechless.
The sea has always been rare storms, encountered can only recognize their own bad luck. Cheng Su Rong was able to retrieve a life in the storm, which was already considered a deep blessing.
“It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back. You are a great hope to build a foundation, even the family head has high hopes for you.”
As he said that, he turned his gaze to the unfamiliar female cultivator next to Cheng Surong whose cultivation couldn’t be seen, and some importance rose in his heart, “Who is this Taoist friend?”
“This is a senior who came to my aid when I encountered the storm. If it wasn’t for senior, I’m afraid I would have been buried at sea.”
After Cheng Surong finished speaking, she introduced herself towards Xu Chuniang, “This is my clan’s third uncle.”
“I line three in my family, it’s fine for you Daoists to address me as Cheng San.”
A friendly smile appeared on Cheng San’s face, “Fellow Daoist looks extremely unfamiliar, is this the first time you’ve come to my Nansha Island? Please show me your identity token, fellow Daoist.”
Xu Chuniang naturally didn’t have an identity token that she was able to show, so she could only create an identity for herself.
“I am originally a cultivator on a nameless island, and have not traveled far before, nor do I have an identity token.”
Cheng San was a bit surprised, almost every day, there were cultivators from small islands coming to Nansha Island.
But like this female cultivator in front of him, who didn’t have an identity token even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was rare.
“In that case, you will have to purchase an identity token. On the island, this identity token is your only credential. You can also use this token to travel to other islands.”
Xu Chuniang nodded, she had heard Cheng Surong talk about this matter before she came, so she wasn’t surprised.
“Just in time, so let this niece of mine lead the way for you, Daoist, to get an identity token.”
Cheng San gestured towards Cheng Surong, who immediately understood and led the way ahead.
Xu Chuniang walked behind, observing Nansha Island along the way, realizing that it was just as Cheng Surong had said, with cultivators and mortals mixing on the island.
It was only that the mortals and low-ranking cultivators were mostly clustered in the outer areas of the island.
And the higher the cultivation level of the cultivators, the more inward they lived, and the safer they were.
Cheng Surong led Xu Chuniang to the place where identity tokens for cultivators were procured, and the clerk was a female cultivator of some age.
However, due to proper maintenance, she did not look old, but rather had a mature style.
“She is the sister of the head of the Liu Family, one of the three great families on the island, Liu Qing Lan, with a cultivation of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
Cheng Surong introduced in a low voice and walked forward to say hello.
This Nansha Island was not small, not big, and the people in power on the island were the three great families, so naturally, the dealings they had on a regular basis were not small.
Liu Qinglan nodded slightly towards Cheng Surong, but her attention fell on the person behind her.
When she sensed that the person’s aura was still above her own, she could not help but be secretly shocked.
Her cultivation was at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and in this Nansha Island, apart from those Jindan cultivators whose names could be counted, she was already a rare and powerful person. This do not know where to come out of the female cultivator, cultivation is even higher than her two points.
A hint of a smile appeared on Liu Qing Lan’s face, ”Are you here to purchase an identity plate? I don’t know which kind you want to purchase?”
Xu Chuniang had heard Cheng Surong mention early on that there were many types of identity tags, not only were they different for each realm, but even for the same realm, there were many types to choose from.
For example, in the Qi Practitioner stage, in addition to the most basic identity verification, there are also protection and positioning effects.
As for the Foundation Stage ID tags, there are even more functions, in addition to the above, it also has some functions such as communication and retrieval.
From the sound of it, it was much more powerful than the sect disciple order in her hand.
After all, Cheng Surong didn’t have a Foundation Stage Identity Card, so she only had a rough idea of these functions.
Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment, “I have previously been buried in cultivation on the island and have not come into contact with identity cards, I wonder if you could elaborate on this?”
“Of course.”
With a wave of Liu Qinglan’s hand, a row of identity tags made of different materials appeared on the stage.
“This kind is the simplest and only requires a hundred spirit stones, but its only function is to record the cultivator’s soul breath and cultivation level.”
She introduced them one by one, from left to right.
The later it went, the more powerful the identity token became, a small token that combined protection, positioning, communication, retrieval, and other utilities.
Of course, the stronger the effect, the more expensive the corresponding price.
“Like this token, the material itself is made from the bones of a Jindan stage sea demon beast. It comes with a defense formation that can withstand a single blow from the Jindan realm. It can even communicate freely with other cultivators within a 100,000 mile range.”
Liu Qinglan held up an ink-black token and spoke eloquently.
“It records the illustrations of many sea demonic beasts, their living habits, attack characteristics, and infestation ranges, and it even comes with the charts of the five islands of the southern line, so if you go to other places in the future, you can also add new charts on it, which is very practical.”
Xu Chuniang’s eyes were shining as she listened, not to mention the other effects, but being able to withstand a single blow from the Jindan realm made her very moved.
After all, who would have too much of a means to save their life?
“This token is indeed very good.”
Seeing that there was a chance, Liu Qinglan took the initiative to make an offer.
“This token is priced at sixty thousand spirit stones, today I wish to make a good karma with you, so I will reduce three thousand spirit stones for you. Fellow Daoist only needs to pay fifty-seven thousand spirit stones.”
Cheng Surong at the side sucked in her breath when she heard this astronomical figure, her eyes constantly signaling to Xu Chuniang.
Fifty-seven thousand spirit stones was more than enough to buy a top-grade spirit weapon used by a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Although it wasn’t true that this token could resist a single blow from the Jindan realm, it was disposable.
If an excellent spiritual weapon was used with love and care, it could be used for decades or even hundreds of years!
Comparing the two, naturally, the very good spiritual weapon is better.
Xu Chuniang glanced at Cheng Surong’s strong hint and returned a comforting look.
She had roughly heard Cheng Surong talk about the prices on Nansha Island.
It was surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the sea was rich in all types of cultivation resources, but the number of spirit mines wasn’t much.
That was why in this maritime cultivation world, not only was the number of high-level cultivators greater than the northwest continent, but the spirit stones were likewise much more valuable.
The result of this is that with the same amount of spirit stones, in this maritime cultivation world, one can buy better quality spirit weapons and materials.
