The floating raft is a legendary wooden raft that travels between the sea and the Milky Way.
The venue for the Waterway and Sea City Conference, which comes back and forth every ten years or so, is naturally unusual.
To travel around the entire West Sea, it not only needs to be strong and wear-resistant, able to withstand the impact of various ferocious beasts, but it also needs to be large enough to accommodate the transactions of various Taoists, and at the same time provide housing for traveling chambers of commerce.
The huge raft that appeared in everyone's eyes was the venue for the first sea market. It was rumored that the materials used to build it were exactly the same as the floating rafts that traveled between the stars in ancient times. They were giant trees of a different species, hundreds of miles long, belonging to
The real party moved the island!
Moreover, Xu Dao heard from other Taoist priests that this Baili Floating Cha itself is a high-quality magic weapon. There is only one in the entire West Sea, not even in the hands of Master Kun Jing.
Xu Dao looked at Baili Fucha, his eyes flashed with light, and he saw a strong and fierce Qi rising from the floating beach from a distance.
This qi machine rises together with the sun, and even the brilliant sunlight cannot cover it. It fills the sea area, showing its unparalleled existence to all directions.
At just one glance, Xu Dao was convinced by the appearance of the Baili Floating Tower that the fair held on it was the grandest gathering in the West Sea.
His eyes were burning: "It is a hundred miles wide. In addition to the residences of merchants, there are countless shops selling rare treasures on the floating raft. Perhaps not only the evil spirit of Huangquan can be restrained, but also the strong energy of poor Taoism.
Something has happened..."
Faintly, he regretted coming here "empty-handed". In his hand was only a Shark Girl in the foundation-building realm. Although it was considered a handsome and rare commodity, it would probably not be particularly outstanding on such a treasure raft.
But there is no use regretting it now. Xu Dao's eyes dropped and he thought in his heart: "I heard that although this Baili Floating Sea will not stay in a certain place permanently and only stays in one sea area for more than a month, it does not reject people from all over the place.
The Taoist boarded the raft."
The Baili Floating Tree is so wide that even if a Taoist priest with the body of a Foundation-Building Demon lives on it, it can still hold a large basket.
Therefore, there is plenty of space on the floating raft, and like the Sharman Island, there are inns, spiritual residences and other facilities for Taoists who come and go to live and stay.
Moreover, the West Sea is vast, covering dozens or millions of miles. The islands are far apart and are blocked by dangerous areas such as ferocious beasts, storms, and evil spirits. Baili Fucha itself is an important link for people from all over the world to travel to and from the 108 islands.
way.
Of course, it costs a lot of money to board the floating raft and travel between places.
The floating raft is large and difficult to live in, especially since the floating raft itself does not allow ships to dock around it.
Many Taoists who could not afford to pay for travel or inns often had no choice but to form a team and follow Fucha from a distance.
This situation has existed for a long time, and there are already specialized chambers of commerce operating it. This is also a major reason for the formation of the remaining Xiaohai City except Baili Fucha.
It's just that Xiaohai City is held by other chambers of commerce, and they don't have enough strength. There are not many of these chambers of commerce and the Taoists who follow them who have fallen into trouble on the road, and their safety cannot be guaranteed.
Xu Dao was thinking about these things, and his thoughts moved in his mind.
He had the idea of following Baili Floating Cha. In fact, his idea did not come out of the blue, but he had been thinking about it for a long time.
The West Sea is vast, and with his cultivation in the foundation-building realm, it would be difficult for him to walk through it roughly. The time it would take would be measured in decades, not to mention that he would encounter many accidents, including death and death.
It's also normal.
Now that the floating tide is coming, it is a great opportunity for him to catch a boat with favorable wind.
And if he is unlucky enough to not find the evil spirit of the underworld in the sea market, he will have to rush to the next sea area to look for the evil spirit of the underworld on the major islands.
Instead of running around in person, it is better to stay on Baili Fucha and wait for Taoists from all over the place to gather and trade every time they arrive.
With this thought, Xu Dao's mind was completely made up: "Get on the raft and stay!"
In the distance, Baili Fucha is still slowly approaching.
Its light color continues to rise sharply, and it looks like the place where the sun rises against the sun. There are already many ships approaching in the nearby sea area, and there are more streams of light flying in the sky, pulling out streaks of white mist.
Xu Dao looked away from this scene. He looked at the ship he was on and gave an order: "Get aboard and enter the harbor."
Immediately there was a sound of agreement on the ship, and the Qi Refining Taoist disciples quickly activated the sea ship formation to make the whole ship move closer to Baili Fucha.
After Xu Dao gave the order, he paused and said: "Pindao is just staying on this ship. After entering the port, you can stay or go as you like. If you want to find your bosses, please feel free to do so."
.”
After saying this, he sat in the cross-legged position in the air, adjusting his breath and nourishing his energy.
Wangshan ran to death. Although he had already seen the huge raft, Xu Dao's location was still a few quarters of an hour away from the opponent.
He didn't want to fly over, he just wanted to enter the harbor in a low-key manner. Instead of staring dryly, he might as well close his eyes and rest his mind.
The shark girl Yin Jianjian didn't have much reaction to Xu Dao's words. She also didn't care about the ship at her feet and just waited obediently beside Xu Dao to serve.
The Taoist disciples on the boat had surprised expressions on their faces and were talking a lot.
Most of them were actually coerced into joining by the three "Sea, Land, and Air" brothers, and many of them had long wanted to stay away.
For half a year, these people saw that Xu Dao only took the belongings on the ship and never made a move against anyone. They had long thought of leaving the ship safely, but they were afraid of Xu Dao and did not dare to propose it.
Now that they received Xu Dao's instructions, these people's faces were suddenly filled with surprise.
Of course, there were also Taoist disciples on the boat who wanted to follow Xu Dao, and they all came to him hand in hand, but hesitated to speak.
Xu Dao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then just glanced at the other party with his spiritual consciousness and asked the other party to step back without accepting it.
After recruiting these people, his daily life will not necessarily be much more convenient, but the amount of talisman money he needs to spend will increase a lot.
After all, I heard that the expenses on Baili Fucha are often calculated based on head count, and every entry and exit are worth the money.
Xu Dao is in a difficult situation now, so it is better to be alone.
………………
Thousands of miles in radius.
Xu Dao's boat seemed to be moving slowly but really quickly towards the vicinity of Baili Fucha. There were many other boats around, but under the diligent control of the Taoist disciples, there was no collision at all.
When the ship shook slightly and then became quiet, Xu Dao opened his eyes in time.
The ship has entered the port, and it's time for him to disembark and board the "island".
After opening his eyes, the huge Baili Floating Tree was very close at hand. Xu Dao looked over and saw not only pavilions and pavilions, streets and markets, but also scattered hills.
If it weren't for the unimaginably thick and long logs outside the port, he would have thought he was looking at an island rather than a raft.
Xu Dao did not hesitate. He lifted up the golden pole hidden in his sleeve, shook the chain, stood up, and stepped onto the floating raft.
The chain on the tail of Yin Jianjian's feet moved, and the animal lowered its head and did not dare to hesitate at all, following Xu Dao step by step.
When the two disappeared at the port, the Taoist disciples who were tying the reins on the boat looked at each other in confusion, not knowing where to go. But if after three days, the berthing fees were exhausted, they would have to leave even if they didn't want to.
At the port, Xu Dao paid a sum of money and was just about to fly into the air and fly straight into the floating boat. However, he sensed a resistance everywhere inside the floating boat, preventing him from taking off.
Even if he circulates all the energy in his body, he can only go up a few feet. If he tries to rise any higher, he seems to be touching something, and it is far less free than he can go up and down outside the floating raft.
No need for others to explain, Xu Dao immediately realized: "Forbidden air formation."
He looked around and immediately discovered that the other Taoists who had entered the port, the Qi-refining level Taoist disciples, were walking on the bluestone road honestly. At most, some of them had the charms of divine walking armor and horses on their bodies, but no one could control them.
The vehicle takes off.
Although the scattered foundation-building Taoist priests were walking in the air, none of them rose higher than nine feet. Even the monsters with huge bodies and no humanoid bodies actually shrunk their bodies and shrank to the size of several feet.
Such a powerful magic circle can restrain even the foundation-building Taoist priests at all times. This is the first time that Xu Dao has seen it. In particular, the scope of the magic circle is quite large, hundreds of miles long and wide, which is unheard of.
Realizing that there were restrictions on the floating raft, Xu Dao gave up his intention of flying inside quickly, but he did not hide it too much and did not enter on foot like a Qi Refining Taoist disciple.
It carried Yin Jianjian, flew up a few feet, and then slowly stepped inside.
Next, one building after another, shops and houses appeared in Xu Dao's eyes, forming a well-developed street.
In less than half a day, the streets with the largest number of people were already packed with people, and people were coming and going like a weave. Xu Dao was in the foundation-building realm, and he could fly above the people. He didn't feel suffocated when walking in it, he just felt that there was a lot of excitement.
All kinds of strange goods are placed on the shelves, including food, drink, and things to play with.
All kinds of Taoists were coming and going, humanoids, semi-humanoids, souls, ghosts, spirits, ghosts and ghosts, all huddled together harmoniously, either looking at each other or bargaining.
One of the Taoists has already set up a street stall: "Don't miss it if you pass by, the newly refined iron from Hantie Island is an excellent psychic material!"
"To purchase the heart of a ferocious beast, the best one is within seven days, and the second best is one that is within eighteen days."
There are also those who sell themselves: "This little girl is poor and sincerely invites fellow Taoists to discuss the Tao so that she can pay for her stay."
Xu Dao looked around and found that the other party was still a shark girl. He didn't know whether it originated from the Shark Island or was originally found on the floating raft.
In just one or two streets, the bustling level and the richness of goods not only exceeded what he had seen and heard during his trip to Sharman Island, but also refreshed his past experiences.
Xu Dao took a cursory stroll around the floating raft. He didn't need anyone's guidance at all to figure out the layout of the Baili floating raft.
It is roughly divided into four districts: east, west, south and north. It covers a large area, but only occupies a small area on Baili Fucha.
The larger area on the floating mountain is not used for trading, but for living and raising crops. There are cabins in the forest, mountain villas, pastures, medicinal gardens, etc., which are well-proportioned and enough to meet the needs of climbing.
The people of the island have various needs.
This hundred-mile floating cha is already like the mountain gate of a large Taoist palace.
In the center is a nine-story tower-shaped pavilion. It is a forbidden area for dozens of miles. It is probably the core of Fucha and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
After wandering around for a while, Xu Dao didn't find what he wanted on the ordinary streets, so he continued to go deep inside, and soon entered the streets of Fangshi that only Jiji Taoist priests could enter.
It is a pity that the number of foundation-building Taoist priests who boarded the floating raft was much less than that of the Qi Lian Taoist disciples. In addition, they were scattered all over the floating raft. There were not many pedestrians on the street where Xu Dao stepped, and he did not see any
Setting up a stall to barter.
While the sea market on Baili Floating River is grand and magical, Xu Dao is not just a country bumpkin who entered the city.
So he first found an elegant inn, rented a room for a few days, and learned more about Baili Fucha through the innkeeper.
The situation did not surprise him. Those who were in the foundation-building realm were already among the upper-middle-class people in the West Sea. Although there were shops dedicated to foundation-building Taoist priests everywhere in the city, foundation-building Taoist priests usually traded treasures at fixed-time trade fairs, or
It's an auction, and there are dedicated people in charge.
Xu Dao got the recent trade fair in January. After the auction was arranged, he did not rush around, but stayed in the inn peacefully and rested.
But he is not just taking a rest. He is seizing the time to prepare Yin Jianjian around him to solve his worries.
Because he was already in Haishi, he met many new Taoist priests and gained more knowledge. He suddenly discovered a way to kill Yin Jianjian's sanity while retaining the Shark Goddess' sanity as much as possible.
This method does not even require him to do it himself. There are Taoists on Fucha who specialize in helping Taoists tame slaves and train Tao soldiers. The shops they have opened are quite large. There are not just one or two in the four markets, but
They were in groups of three and five, very attentive.
Xu Dao sent people to inquire and learned that not to mention the Ningsha realm, even the Taoist priests in the Lian Gang realm, these teeth can wipe out the opponent's mind and turn the opponent into a puppet of the living dead, while retaining their cultivation and appearance as much as possible.
.
It's just that anything that involves the realm of foundation building and above is expensive. If Xu Dao hands Yin Jianjian to the other party, the other party will take away at least 10% of the talisman money from his hand.
If it was an ordinary person, Xu Dao would have left it to the other party. It was simple and convenient, and the other party could also help find a buyer. However, Yin Jianjian had great potential, so to be on the safe side, Xu Dao gave up on passing it through other people's hands.
He spent some money to buy back a book about soul-stirring, and then studied it by himself in the inn.
During this process, Xu Dao would certainly not forget his most important purpose in coming to Haishi.
The result really did not disappoint him. After just skipping a few auctions, he clearly saw four big words on the list of a big auction in the middle of the month:
