Three hundred and ninetieth chapters guard boat formation
Cheng Qingjia closed his eyes, only hating that his qualifications were too mediocre and that he had spent so many resources to reach the late stage of foundation building.
If he had the talent of Miss Zhan Er and was favored by Penglai Immortal Island, how could he end up in the situation he is in today...
Cheng Qi was not the only one who was worried. In addition to Xu Chunniang, other members of the Cheng family were also interested in persuading Cheng Qingjia.
Almost as soon as the banquet was over, these people couldn't wait to find him, and began to persuade him emotionally and rationally.
"The third lady can like you because you are convinced."
"With Second Miss Zhan here, the Zhan family can at least prosper for nearly a thousand years. This is a good thing for you and the family."
"In the early years of my Cheng family, there was also a genius who came to the Penglai Immortal Island. But that was more than a thousand years ago... The Cheng family's sunset is no better than it was back then."
Even Uncle Qi, who watched him grow up, asked him to think more about his family.
After the Cheng family left, Cheng Qingjia felt entangled and depressed, and could not even meditate.
After struggling until late at night, he simply ran to the back of the boat to get some air, where he met Xu Chunniang.
He was slightly startled, "Fellow Daoist Xu?"
Speaking of which, she was the only one today who didn't try to persuade him to get close to the big tree of the Zhan family.
Xu Chunniang noticed it when he first appeared. After hearing this, she opened her eyes and nodded slightly, then closed her eyes.
When Cheng Qingjia saw this, he silently swallowed his overwhelming desire to talk.
It was only in the past few months that Daoyou Xu became a guest of the Cheng family.
She stayed in the library all day long. Although the two had met a few times, there was no deeper friendship.
The formation on the cloud boat is always on, so standing at the back of the boat, you still can't feel a breath of wind.
Cheng Qingjia stood for a while, his eyes unconsciously fell on the figure sitting cross-legged, and his mood suddenly calmed down.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Xu Chunniang finally opened her eyes and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Cheng have anything else?"
The formation on this Yunzhou was very profound. She had never seen it before, so she deliberately found a secluded place to observe it carefully to see if she could see anything.
Could it be that Cheng Qingjia also studied the formation?
Cheng Qingjia didn't know what the other person was thinking. He knew it was time to leave, but his feet seemed to be rooted and couldn't move an inch.
The pain that had been suppressed in my chest for a long time seemed to have found a window to vent.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you think...how strong is the Zhan family?"
Zhan family?
Xu Chunniang thought seriously for a moment. As the first family in the five southern islands, the strength of the Zhan family is beyond doubt.
The Zhan family sits on the coral island with the most resources. There are no less than 20 people in the family with golden elixir cultivation, and Nascent Soul monks are in charge.
Miss Zhan Er, who has been worshiping Penglai Immortal Island since she was a child, is a well-deserved genius and has a bright future.
Its overall strength is two points stronger than Hunyuan City.
"The Zhan family is pretty good."
Cheng Qingjia was surprised, "It's just good?"
Xu Chunniang was born on an unknown island and was just a foundation-building monk. In her eyes, the Zhan family should be as towering as a mountain.
But from her tone, the Zhan family is strong, and that seems to be all it is.
"if not?"
Xu Chunniang cast a confused glance at him, and she vaguely felt that he didn't come to Zhouwei because he was interested in the battle method.
Cheng Qingjia took a deep breath, "Then... what do you think of the Cheng family?"
After asking this question, he felt uneasy.
He knew that the Cheng family could not be compared with the Zhan family, but he still wanted to hear her opinion.
"The Cheng family can be passed down for two thousand years, and it has its own uniqueness."
When Xu Chunniang said this, she suddenly remembered a bone book she had seen in the Sutra Pavilion.
"It seems that your Cheng family ancestor once had a genius monk who also worshiped in Penglai Immortal Island."
Thinking of that ancestor, Cheng Qingjia's face showed both pride and loss.
"He entered Penglai when he was ten years old, and he successfully formed the elixir before he was even a hundred years old. However, shortly after he formed the elixir, he unfortunately died while performing a sect mission."
At that time, the Cheng family was very prosperous in the five southern islands.
But since that ancestor died unexpectedly, the Cheng family has gone downhill.
"It is said that Penglai, abbot, the reason why the three fairy islands in Yingzhou have a transcendent status is because there are monks who have transformed themselves into gods on the fairy islands all year round. Do you know whether it is true or not?"
Xu Chunniang recalled the discussion between the monks of the Zhan family at the banquet and suddenly asked.
Cheng Qingjia was stunned and spoke hesitantly.
"I heard my grandfather say that after a Yuanying monk breaks through to become a god, it can take anywhere from a few years to a few decades before he will eventually leave this world.
But the three fairy islands of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou have a long history, and their magical powers are unimaginable by ordinary people. Maybe the rumors are true."
Xu Chunniang nodded. A big force like the Three Fairy Islands would never know anything about the Dead Sea and the five northwest sects.
It's a pity that except for the monks on the island, few people know the specific locations of these three fairy islands.
It would take an ordinary person a lifetime to find them.
If you want to inquire about the Dead Sea and the five northwest sects, you should first go to Pingfeng Island before making any plans.
After the hunting competition was over, she tried to go there.
Cheng Qingjia left.
He was full of sadness when he came, but felt relaxed when he left.
The Zhan family is very strong, but his ancestors of the Cheng family have also been glorious. He will work hard to practice and find ways to restore the family's former glory.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes and continued to observe the formation.
The Yunzhou boat sailed on the sea for several days. No matter how big the waves were outside, the Yunzhou boat was always as stable as the ground, and even the slightest shaking could not be felt.
The third floor of Yunzhou is Zhan Yingluo's private domain. No one is allowed to set foot there without her permission.
At this time, on the third floor of Yunzhou, apart from Zhan Yingluo, there were only two people, the Jindan monk named Zhao and the old man of the Zhan family who was deeply trusted by her.
She reached for the pot and poured herself a glass of spiritual wine, "Uncle Zhao, is she still at the end of the boat?"
Zhao Hucheng nodded, "In the past four days, the female cultivator named Xu Chunniang has stayed at the end of the boat and has not moved. She should be an array master, and her attainments in the array are probably not weak."
A hint of surprise appeared on Zhan Yingluo's face. The boat-protecting formation on the Yunzhou had two third-level formations as its core and incorporated ten second-level formations. Its sophistication and complexity were evident.
The boat-protecting formation enveloped the entire cloud boat. When the formation was activated, some operating rules would naturally be revealed.
Only formation masters, and at least second-level formation masters, can capture some traces.
Hasn't the Cheng family been in decline for a long time? Where did they recruit such a formation master with such a strong cultivation level?
Zhao Hucheng said nothing, and the old man behind Zhan Yingluo spoke and told the news he had learned.
"She was born on an unknown island. Ten months ago, she rescued a junior member of the Cheng family at sea. Then she landed on Nansha Island for the first time and registered her identity. She became a guest of the Cheng family five months ago and has been staying in the Cheng family's library since then.
.”
Zhan Yingluo nodded slightly. Xu Chunniang must have had some opportunities to become an array master and have the cultivation level she has today.
Since she was just a monk from an unknown island, it probably wouldn't affect her plan.
