Red Feather Island, located in the southern area of the Chaos Star Sea, is a large-scale island. In the nearby sea, there are also Red Shark Island, Silver Scale Island, etc., all of which are of the same size.
In addition, there are hundreds of small and medium-sized islands dotted around the sea area. Together with several large islands, they form an island group, which is one of the top human gathering areas in the Luan Xing Sea.
Due to its special geographical location, the development of Akabane Island focuses more on commerce, especially maritime trade, which is extremely prosperous and has more than a dozen large docks for docking.
On the pier, there are countless ships of various sizes, coming in and out constantly, without any pause. The number of mortals serving the pier is also huge, and they seem to be endless at first glance.
Mo Juren, who had just arrived here not long ago, couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at the extremely prosperous scene in front of him. This was the first time that he had seen such a large-scale maritime trade event even in his two lifetimes.<
/p>
He did not enter the island immediately, but turned his eyes and searched carefully near the pier. He did not stop until he saw a special stone house.
Through communication with Lu Yu, he also learned about the different customs between Luan Xinghai and Tiannan. As for the world of cultivating immortals, in Tiannan, monks only exist in legends. If ordinary people don't have the opportunity, it will be difficult to see them in their lifetime.<
/p>
Chaotic Star Sea is completely different. The environment here is too harsh, and there are too many extremely terrifying natural disasters. Not to mention other things, without the protection of immortal cultivators, mortals would have no chance of survival.
Therefore, the monks here are closely connected with the mortal world, and there is almost no mortal who does not know the existence of the immortal master. For example, the stone house in the distance is a monk responsible for managing the dock here.
"Since this fellow Taoist has arrived at the island, please tell me inside the house." While he was thinking, an old voice came faintly, obviously sensing someone's arrival.
Hearing this, Mo Juren's heart moved, and then he slowly flew down. The flying boat stowed away and headed towards the stone house.
After entering the stone house, what came into view was an old man wearing blue linen clothes. If he hadn't actively exuded the aura of an immortal cultivator, he would have been regarded as an ordinary mortal.
The other party's cultivation level was the same as his own, in the early stage of foundation building. However, the moment he saw him, the old man's original careless expression suddenly changed.
“I don’t know where Yousen Township is, so what’s the point of coming to Akabane Island?”
"Passing by here, I heard that Guidao Fang City is huge, and I plan to buy some cultivation supplies."
"Are you just passing by?" Upon hearing this, a strange color flashed in the old man's eyes, and he suddenly said,
"Do you have any plans to settle on this island, fellow Taoist? If you are willing, some benefits are very generous. Not only will a sum of spiritual stones be distributed every year, but there will also be certain discounts for purchasing supplies in the market."
"Just settle down, no other requirements?"
"Of course you need to hold certain positions, but they are just trivial matters. With the strength of fellow Taoist, it is just a matter of effort."
"That's it." Mo Juren thought for a while, and it didn't matter if he settled down. Anyway, it was just a matter of registration, and he could leave at any time. However, it was not enough if he still had to hold a position. He didn't want to be tied down here.
"I'll think about it again."
"Okay." Although he said it very tactfully, the old man probably understood what the other party meant, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"In this case, Taoist friends are not residents of the island. If you stay for a long time, you need to pay a fixed amount of spiritual stones every year."
As he spoke, he took out a square jade plaque in his hand, asked Mo Juren his name and then started to register. A flash of light flashed, he handed the jade plaque forward and said again,
"This is only a temporary voucher. It is only valid for one month. Taoist friends can hold this jade token to stay temporarily on the island. If the time is up, or if you have the idea of settling down, you can come and change it at any time."
"Thank you." After putting away the jade plaque, Mo Juren said nothing more and left immediately.
Inside the stone house, looking at the disappearing figure outside the window, something strange flashed through the old man's dark eyes, and he murmured:
"What a pure and powerful mana. I was born with special eyes, and I also practiced spiritual eye magic, but I still can't see through the total amount of mana in his Dantian. Could it be some old monster who has hidden his cultivation? What's even more strange is, why?
This person always gives me a frightening feeling of danger?"
"Do you want to inform the island owner?" After thinking for a while, the old man killed the thought, shook his head slightly and said,
"Forget it. This person is not an ordinary monk at first glance. He might have some terrible background behind him. It's better not to get into trouble."
……
Naturally, Mo Juren didn't know what the old man was thinking. At this time, he was driving the flying boat towards the central area of Chiyu Island.
Unlike the large number of mortals living outside, that is the real scope of monks' activities. And the city he is looking for is naturally among them.
The speed of the flying boat was extremely fast, and it didn't take long to arrive near the central area. Looking into the distance, an unimaginable huge city appeared at the end of the line of sight. Although it was still some distance away, one could still feel its majesty.
Momentum.
"Come to think of it, this is Akabane Castle."
Seeing this, Mo Juren suddenly stopped, landed slowly, put away the flying boat, and then walked forward. When he arrived at the city gate, he showed his identity jade badge to the guard on duty, and then walked towards the city calmly.
Enter.
Walking in the streets with people coming and going, Mo Juren deeply felt the hugeness of Akabane City. Both the width of the road and the buildings on both sides gave people the same feeling.
This is only the peripheral area. What is even more shocking is the central location of the city. Looking from a distance, there is a hexagonal attic suspended high in the air. The entire body is made of white jade, and it shines with endless brilliance under the sun.<
/p>
Mo Juren also came here for the first time and was very unfamiliar with everything. After asking a mortal passing by carefully, he found out that it was the largest store in the city, Chihuadian, which was opened by the island owner himself.
Made.
As for the location of the city he was inquiring about, there was no one on the outskirts. He could only find it by going to the most central area and entering Wanhua Street, a large commercial district composed of hundreds of prosperous commercial streets. After getting the answer, Mo Juren didn't waste any more time and quickly headed towards the central area.
The city is so big that it took half an hour to reach the destination without being able to fly.
The design of Wanhua Street is very similar to that of the surrounding streets, but it is fundamentally different. Instead of the messy mortal shops, there are all kinds of shops facing monks, such as magic weapons, magic talismans, elixirs, etc. p>
When he arrived at a shop selling spiritual materials, Mo Juren felt something in his heart and immediately stepped in. As soon as he entered, a young boy walked up to him and said enthusiastically:
"Welcome to our store, what would you like to order?"
"Is there any monster blood for sale?"
"Ah, yes, do you want anything else?" Hearing the visitor's words, the boy couldn't help but be startled and asked quickly.
"Look at the blood first, and we'll talk about the rest later." After a pause, Mo Juren asked again,
"It must be the blood of a level two monster or above. The higher the level, the better."
