After introducing each other, Ning Cheng also learned that the old man's name was Tao Xiumao and that the young man's name was Tao Yuan. Both father and son were very enthusiastic. Not only did they give Ning Cheng medicine for his injuries, they also invited Ning Cheng to sit on the beast cart.
After Ning Cheng got on the bus, the driver was replaced by young Tao Yuan.
On the beast cart, Ning Cheng continued to perform exercises to heal his injuries. Both Tao and his son were ordinary people who had never practiced cultivation and were completely unaware of the fluctuations in the spiritual energy around them.
Ning Cheng had been concentrating with his eyes closed, and Tao Xiumao knew it was interesting and did not look for Ning Cheng to talk to.
Two hours later, Ning Cheng felt that his injuries had tended to ease and he was slowly starting to get better, so he calmed down.
After his injury improved, Ning Cheng also opened his eyes and asked politely, "Uncle Tao, I heard that there is an army of monks in Yixinghai. Those army of monks will recruit soldiers, is that true?"
Tao Xiumao nodded and replied, "Yes, the largest recruitment station is Xihai City you mentioned before. There are also monk armies stationed in Taiwanhai Town. Our bright light stones are actually obtained for the monk army. We will use these bright lights
The stones were sold to merchants, who then sent them to the monks' army."
Ning Cheng understood that the monk army had been fighting or operating in the Yixing Sea all year round, deploying various lighting formations, and what they needed most was the Bright Light Stone.
Seeing Ning Cheng's confusion, Tao Xiumao hesitated and said, "If you don't have a good place to go, you can dig up the light stone with us. You can make a few trips a year and earn one or two hundred gold coins each time. It's just a bit dangerous.
We occasionally encounter road thieves along the way."
"Thank you, Uncle Tao. I still want to join the caravan. When I get to Taiwanhai Town, I will look for opportunities to join some caravans and go to sea. In this case, I may be able to earn more."
After hearing Ning Cheng's words, Tao Xiumao sighed inwardly and did not persuade him. He knew the dangers of being with the caravan, which was countless times more dangerous than selling bright light stones with him. Ning Cheng and he were not related, but
He cannot persuade a passerby.
The beast cart was not moving very fast, but it was not slow either. The Tao family and his son took turns driving the cart, and they only ate some ordinary dry food on the way.
Four days later, the beast cart entered a lively and noisy town. There were people dressed in various costumes outside the town. Most of these people had a dusty aura. Most of them were adventurers dressed in tougher clothes.
There are also some ordinary monks, and there are quite a few people who drive animal carts and pull a cart like Tao and his son.
A smell of sea breeze came, and Ning Cheng knew that he must be close to the Yixing Sea. Although his injuries recovered slowly, he still had a strength close to 10% of Ningzhen. The monks he saw here were very low in cultivation, so there was no need to
Worry.
"Brothers from the small town, this is already Taiwan Sea Town. My father and I are going to sell these bright stones. If you want to find a caravan, just come with us. There are many caravans in the Chamber of Commerce. These caravans
Collecting all kinds of things. And those caravans often need to recruit some people." Tao Yuan was dull, but after getting to know Ning Cheng, he became very enthusiastic.
"Thank you very much, Brother Tao." Ning Cheng quickly thanked him and took out twenty gold coins and handed them to Tao Xiumao.
It's not that he doesn't want to give out more gold coins, he is now an ordinary person, even his cultivation is hidden, and he still wants to find caravans to make a fortune. Once more gold coins are given out, it will only make people suspicious.
Tao Xiumao refused to accept Ning Cheng's gold coins, saying that his beast cart was only for pulling goods, and that it was a way to take Ning Cheng to Taiwanhai Town. It would be very unkind to accept the gold coins.
Ning Cheng could only put away the gold coins and follow Tao and his son along the long street of Taiwanhai Town to where the caravan gathered.
The beast cart did not go for long before it stopped at a place with a tall gate tower. Tao Xiumao took out a wooden sign and handed it respectfully to a guard at the gate. The guard looked at the wooden sign and returned it
Give it to Tao Xiumao, and wave to Tao Xiumao again.
Only then did Tao Xiumao dare to pull the beast cart into this tall gatehouse, and Ning Cheng also followed the beast cart in.
After entering the gatehouse, Tao Xiumao pointed to a row of tall and majestic buildings directly in front of him and said to Ning Cheng, "Brother Ning, that is where the major caravans in Taiwanhai Town are stationed. If you want to find caravans to join, you can go in and meet them.
Try your luck. I will take my boy to deliver the Bright Light Stone."
Ning Cheng had already seen the big sign in front with the words Taiwan Chamber of Commerce written on it. He quickly thanked Tao and his son again, then said goodbye to Tao and his son and entered the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce.
…
The Taiwan Chamber of Commerce is not one company, but the collective name for the entire Taiwan Sea Town Chamber of Commerce. After entering here, Ning Cheng even felt as if he had entered a business hall in the future earth.
There are various names of caravans here, and every place where the caravan is stationed has a sign. In front of some caravans, there are even some introductions and notices for recruiting people.
Ning Cheng looked all the way and found that none of the caravans here were going to Huazhou, almost all of them were going to a place called Pubu Island.
Ning Cheng stopped a man who was also reading the announcement and asked politely, "Friend, I want to join a larger caravan, but why don't the caravans here even go to Huazhou?"
"Do you want to go to Huazhou?" The man stared at Ning Cheng in shock and asked.
Ning Cheng quickly said, "No, I just want to join a larger caravan. I don't know which caravan is bigger. I heard that some large caravans in Yixinghai can even cross continents. I think they can cross continents.
It must be a large caravan."
After hearing Ning Cheng's explanation, the man laughed and said, "The caravans from Taiwanhai Town all go to Pubu Island. Only the caravans from Pubu Island and Xihai City can go to Huazhou. You should have just arrived.
Come to Taiwanhai Town?”
"Yes, I just came here. I have some strength. I originally wanted to go to Xihai City to join the monk army, but I didn't expect Xihai City to be too far away, so I had to come to Taiwanhai Town." Ning Cheng replied quickly.
road.
"Are you a monk?" When the man heard that Ning Cheng was a monk, he immediately showed an expression of respect.
Ning Cheng immediately said, "I can't be considered a monk in this regard. My cultivation level is very low and I can only gather energy."
I heard that Ning Cheng was only a Qi Gathering monk, and he spoke so kindly, so he was probably only on the first or second level of Qi Gathering. The man sighed secretly, and then said, "Monks in the early stage of Qi Gathering can also join the monk army. In fact, recruitment
In addition to Xihai City, Ubu Island also needs to recruit monk army members. Many Qi gathering monks go to Ubu Island by joining caravans, and then join the monk army."
"That's the best thing. I'll go to Pubu Island to try my luck first. If it doesn't work, I'll just work in the caravan." Ning Cheng said with a happy expression.
He was very disappointed in his heart. If there was a caravan going directly to Huazhou, that would be the best thing for him.
After thanking the man, Ning Cheng randomly found a caravan called Feihai and walked in. He saw from the notice outside Feihai Caravan that this caravan would leave Taiwanhai Town tomorrow and go to Pubu Island.
.
Since none of the caravans here can go directly to Huazhou, it doesn't make any difference which one he can find.
The hall where the Feihai Caravan is stationed here is not very big, and there is just a woman sitting in it. This woman looks to be in her twenties, and she has a strong aura with a hint of sea flavor. At a glance, she can tell that she has been in the sea all year round.
walking people.
She was sitting on a wooden chair and seemed to be in a daze. After Ning Cheng came in, she didn't know if she didn't notice it or if she was aware of it and didn't care at all, still thinking about her own things.
This was a woman with regular features and not ugly appearance. What surprised Ning Cheng was that she was actually at the ninth level of Ningzhen.
Ning Cheng originally thought that these caravans were just ordinary people walking around. However, he did not expect that when he walked into the first caravan, he saw a monk at the ninth level of Ningzhen.
"Excuse me..." As soon as Ning Cheng said two words, the woman at the ninth level of Ningzhen turned around and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"I heard that the Feihai Caravan is short of manpower. I'm here to apply..."
This time Ning Cheng still didn't finish his words and was interrupted again. But this time the person who interrupted Ning Cheng was not the woman at the ninth level of Ningzhen, but a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man hurriedly
He ran in, bowed to the woman and said, "Zhuang Zongzong, the ship has arrived."
When she heard that the ship had arrived, the woman stood up and said, "Since the ship has arrived, let's set off tonight."
"Yes, yes..." The middle-aged man said yes, but there was already some embarrassment on his face.
The woman surnamed Zhuang said softly, "I know you still need to recruit people, but now there is no time. There is a crew member here who has come to apply, so take him with you. If there are any other losses caused by insufficient manpower, I, Zhuang Ya, will do it alone
Come and bear it.”
"Don't dare, don't dare..." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he quickly bent down and let the woman named Zhuang Ya go out first.
After the woman walked away, the middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to observe Ning Cheng. After a while, he asked, "Are you going to join the Feihai Caravan to go to sea? What's your name?"
"My name is Ning Xiaocheng. I heard that the Feihai Fleet was recruiting crew members, so I came over quickly." Ning Cheng replied immediately.
The middle-aged man nodded and asked, "How is your strength?"
Ning Cheng quickly made a muscle movement and said, "I am definitely a strong man. In our village, many little girls like me for my strength."
The middle-aged man laughed at Ning Cheng's words, "Okay, that's you. My name is Xin You, and you will call me Deacon Xin from now on. Temporary crew members are paid one thousand gold coins for each trip to sea in the Feihai Caravan.
Ten percent of this payment will be paid first, and another 30 percent will be paid when you arrive at Pubu Island, and the rest will be settled when you arrive at Taiwan Sea Town."
"Absolutely." Ning Cheng responded without hesitation. He didn't expect to find the caravan heading to Pubu Island so easily. As for him not coming back, he would not be able to receive the full one thousand gold coins, so he was completely ignored by Ning Cheng.
