"Senior, if you are unfamiliar with Nansha Island, you can come to me at any time."
Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement, recovered the formation materials, abandoned the boat, and boarded the ferry.
It happened to be the monks from the Cheng family who were on duty at the ferry today.
When he saw Cheng Surong, he showed a hint of surprise.
"Su Rong? You disappeared without saying a word for half a month. Your uncle was so anxious that he went to the family head twice for you. Where have you been these days?"
Cheng Surong had already thought about how to reply. She lowered her head slightly and showed a momentary apology on her face.
"I went to sea half a month ago. I thought I would be back in three to five days, but I didn't specifically mention it to my uncle before I left. But I never thought that I encountered a storm at sea, which is why I have been delayed so far."
When the Cheng family monk heard that he was caught in a storm, he was speechless.
Storms have always been rare in the offshore, and if you encounter one, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Cheng Surong was able to save his life in the storm, which is considered a profound blessing.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. You have great hope to build a foundation. Even the head of the family has high hopes for you."
As he spoke, he turned his attention to the unknown female cultivator next to Cheng Surong, and he felt some concern in his heart, "Who is this fellow Taoist?"
"This is a senior who helped me when I encountered a storm. If it weren't for the senior, I would have been buried in the sea."
After Cheng Surong finished speaking, she introduced Xu Chunniang, "This is the third uncle of my clan."
"I am practicing San at home, so fellow Taoists can just call me Cheng San."
A friendly smile appeared on Cheng San's face, "Fellow Taoist looks very unfamiliar. Is this your first time coming to Nansha Island? Please show me your identity token."
Naturally, Xu Chunniang had no identity token that she could produce, so she could only create an identity for herself.
"I am a monk on an unknown island. I have never traveled far before and I have no identity token."
Cheng San was a little surprised. Almost every day, monks from the island came to Nansha Island.
But like the female cultivator in front of me, it is rare for someone to have no identity token even after reaching the foundation building stage.
"In this case, fellow Taoist monks will no longer need to buy an identity token. On the island, this identity token is your only certificate. You can also use this token to travel to other islands."
Xu Chunniang nodded. She had heard Cheng Su Rong talk about this before she came, so she was not surprised.
"Just in time, let me, my niece, lead the way for fellow Taoists to purchase identity tokens."
Cheng San gestured towards Cheng Surong, who immediately understood and led the way.
Xu Chunniang walked behind, observing Nansha Island along the way, and found that just as Cheng Surong said, monks and mortals lived together on the island.
It's just that most mortals and low-level monks live in the outer areas of the island.
The higher the cultivation level of the monk, the closer the place where he lives is, and the safer it is.
Cheng Surong led Xu Chunniang to the place where identity tokens were specially purchased for monks. The person handling the matter was an older female monk.
But because of her proper care, she doesn't look old, but has a mature charm.
"She is Liu Qinglan, the biological sister of the head of the Liu family, one of the three major families on the island. She is in the late stage of foundation building."
Cheng Surong introduced him in a low voice and walked up to say hello.
This Nansha Island is either small or large. The people who are actually in power on the island are the three major families. Naturally, they have quite a lot of dealings with them on weekdays.
Liu Qinglan nodded slightly towards Cheng Surong, but her attention fell on the person behind her.
When he felt that person's breath still lingering on his body, he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Her cultivation level is at the eighth level of foundation building. Apart from those Jindan monks whose names are worthy of her name, she is already a rare and powerful person on Nansha Island.
This female cultivator who appeared out of nowhere has a cultivation level two points higher than hers.
A smile appeared on Liu Qinglan's face, "Fellow Taoist, are you here to buy an identity tag? I wonder what kind you want to buy?"
Xu Chunniang heard Cheng Su Rong mention it early in the morning that there are many types of identity cards. Not only are they different in each realm, but even in the same realm, there are many kinds to choose from.
For example, the identity card during the Qi training period, in addition to the most basic function of verifying identity, also has the effect of protection and positioning.
As for the identity cards in the foundation building period, they have more functions. In addition to the above, they also have many functions such as communication and retrieval.
It sounds much more powerful than the sect disciple order in her hand.
It's just that Cheng Surong doesn't have an identity card in the foundation building period after all, so she only knows a rough idea of these functions.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, "I have been immersed in practicing on the island before and have never removed my identity tag. I wonder if you can give me a detailed introduction?"
"sure."
Liu Qinglan waved her hand, and a row of identity tags of different materials appeared on the table.
"This is the simplest one, which only requires a hundred spirit stones, but its only function is to record the monk's soul breath and cultivation level."
She introduced them one by one from left to right.
The further back you go, the more powerful the identity card becomes. A small token has functions such as protection, positioning, communication, and retrieval.
Of course, the stronger the effect, the more expensive the corresponding price will naturally be.
"Like this token, its material itself is made of the bones of golden elixir stage sea monsters. The defensive formation inside it can withstand the power of a strike from the golden elixir stage. It can also be used within a range of one hundred thousand miles.
Inside, communicate freely with other monks."
Liu Qinglan held up a black token and started talking.
"It records the illustrations, living habits, attack characteristics and haunting ranges of many sea monsters. It also comes with charts of the five islands on the southern route. If you go to other places in the future, you can also add new ones to it.
The charts are very useful.”
Xu Chunniang's eyes were full of brilliance when she heard it. Not to mention other effects, but being able to withstand a blow from the golden elixir realm made her very excited.
After all, who can have too many means to save his life?
"This token is really good."
Seeing something interesting, Liu Qinglan took the initiative to make an offer.
"The price of this token is 60,000 spirit stones. Today I want to form a good relationship with my fellow Taoist and give him a discount of 3,000 spirit stones. You only need to pay 57,000 spirit stones."
Cheng Surong on the side took a breath when hearing this astronomical figure, and kept gesturing to Xu Chunniang with her eyes.
Fifty-seven thousand spiritual stones are more than enough to buy a top-quality spiritual weapon for foundation-building monks!
Although it is true that this token can withstand a strike from the Golden Core Realm, it is a one-time use.
The best spiritual weapons can be used for decades, even hundreds of years, if used with care!
Comparing the two, the best spiritual weapon is naturally superior.
Xu Chunniang caught a glimpse of Cheng Su Rong's strong hint and gave a comforting look in return.
She had roughly heard Cheng Su Rong talk about the prices of goods on Nansha Island.
This place is surrounded by the sea, which is rich in various cultivation resources, but the number of spiritual minerals is not large.
Therefore, in this world of maritime cultivation, not only are there more high-level monks than in the northwest continent, but spiritual stones are also much more valuable.
The result of this is that with the same number of spiritual stones, better quality spiritual weapons and materials can be purchased in this maritime world of cultivation.
