What made Han Li even more puzzled was that except for the shops, there was no one around here.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled dumbly.
How could he forget!
This is not a leisurely island in the Inner Star Sea. Those who have the courage to come here are not monks in the alchemy stage, but at least those in the middle and late stages of foundation building. In addition, there are not many of them scattered on other monster islands.
.
The monks on Ningcui Island are all out to sea to hunt monsters now!
Thinking this, Han Li raised his head and looked around.
Only then did I realize that this place was built against a small mountain.
After thinking for a moment, Han Li walked towards the grocery store piled with rocks.
"Is there a map of the new sea areas nearby?" Han Li asked calmly.
Before he came here, he already knew that all the sea maps of Monster Island were being constantly updated, so he naturally wanted to buy the latest one.
"Yes! There are two types: rough and fine. I wonder which one you want, senior?" The shopkeeper of the grocery store is a middle-aged man in the Qi refining stage. When he saw Han Li and Qu Hun coming to ask, he perked up.
He immediately explained.
"Fine," Han Li said without thinking.
"Exquisite sea map, one hundred spiritual stones!" The middle-aged man said loudly.
"One hundred?" Han Li thought there was something wrong with his ears and he heard the wrong price.
But his face immediately darkened, revealing an angry look.
Although he did not intend to cause any trouble, he would not be blackmailed by a low-level immortal cultivator.
"Senior, don't get me wrong! This price is not set here, but directly from above. We are just following orders. And when other seniors sell us new sea area topographic maps, the price is also very high.
!" Seeing Han Li's face darken, the grocery store manager did not show any fear, but started pouring out his bitterness.
"Above! Which merchant alliance are you from?" Han Li's anger softened slightly and he frowned and asked.
He knew very well that the merchants who could bring their business to Monster Island would definitely not be some small chamber of commerce? Maybe they would be the stores of the four major merchant alliances!
"Haha, the senior is really understanding. The junior is working under the Fengle Merchant Alliance to earn a living." The middle-aged man was slightly startled and then said with a smile.
"Fengle League, one of the four major business alliances, opened Fengle Auction House in Tianxing City?"
"That's right, senior!"
Hearing this, Han Li threw out a mid-level spiritual stone without any further hesitation.
Immediately, the grocery shopkeeper smiled and handed Han Li the jade slip.
"Aren't the other shops also belonging to your Fengle Merchant Alliance?" Han Li looked at the other shops, put away the jade slips, and asked angrily.
"How is this possible? Except for the buying house in the west, all the others are opened by other business alliances and have nothing to do with our Fengle League." The middle-aged man glanced at the other shops and said with some hostility.
After hearing this, Han Li didn't say anything else, turned around and left with his bent soul.
After he took a few steps and released the kamikaze boat, just as he was about to fly away with his weapon, a green rainbow suddenly fell from the sky and landed right in front of a buying house diagonally opposite.
After the brilliance subsided, a burly man in the Danjie stage was revealed.
"Boy Fan, your business is here." As soon as the big man appeared, he shouted loudly to the buying house, then took out a storage bag from his arms and threw it on the ground.
After a ray of light rolled over, a strange fish body two to three feet long appeared on the ground.
It is said to be a fish just because its body surface is covered with a layer of blue fish scales, but it has a strange head like a python and a pair of huge sharp claws on its abdomen. It is split at the front of its back.
There was a bleeding hole, as if the demon pill had been removed.
"Oops! It's Senior Hao here. This Jade Phosphorus Fish Demon is very difficult to kill! Only people with great supernatural powers like Senior can destroy them." A Qi Refiner quickly ran out from the acquisition shop.
He was a young man with sharp eyes and quick wits. As he went up to inspect the body of the monster, he kept flattering him. The big man burst out laughing when he said it, and he seemed to be a heroic man.
Suddenly the big man turned around and faced Han Li and Qu Hun. After a brief glance, he greeted them cheerfully:
"The two fellow Taoists are very familiar with each other. They have just arrived at Ningcui Island! Are you interested in hunting monsters together?"
Seeing the big man's enthusiasm, Han Li smiled and said nothing, but Qu Hun, following his instructions, shook his head and refused.
Seeing this, the big man showed a trace of regret, but he still preached enthusiastically:
"Hao Yuantian is somewhat famous here on Ningcui Island. If you two change your mind in the future, you can find me again." After saying this, the big man took a bag of spiritual stones from the hands of the young man from the acquisition bank and looked at it.
After taking a quick look, he turned into a green rainbow and flew away again.
Han Li stood there in silence.
Judging from the enthusiastic wooing of the red-faced old man and Hao Dahan who were sent together, it is obvious that there are not many alchemy monks coming to Ningcui Island, and they have also formed their own small groups.
It seems that as we know from the information, even monks in the alchemy stage must travel together in this outer star sea to hunt monsters safely.
If he didn't have other plans of his own, he might have agreed to the invitation from one of them.
Han Li was thinking in his mind as he and Qu Hun boarded the divine wind boat, took off from the other direction and flew towards the outside of the island.
On the magic weapon, Han Li looked carefully at the jade slip with a map of the sea area that he had just purchased before putting it away.
Ningcui Island is not that big, and in just a moment, the divine wind boat has flown to the edge of the island.
Standing at the edge of the divine wind boat, Han Li looked around. After a flash of light in his eyes, he readjusted his direction and wanted to fly to the depths of the endless sea.
Han Li did not dare to fly too low from the sea.
This is because some monsters with advanced cultivation levels, even if they are lurking on the bottom of the sea, can suck all the living creatures flying over the sea out of thin air across hundreds of feet of sea water. If a cultivator disturbs them, they will be killed.
of disaster.
Han Li was naturally extremely cautious!
But similarly, you can't fly too high in the outer star sea, because there are not only hordes of monsters in the outer star sea, but also bird-like monsters circling in the high air. If you are targeted by them, you will also
It's an extremely dangerous thing.
Of course, this is not an absolute thing. After all, the conditions in various sea areas are still somewhat different, and there is no such thing as absolute safety.
Every year, many monks are teleported to various monster islands, dreaming of killing monsters and obtaining elixirs, but many of them have never been able to return once they left the islands.
There are even reports of monks in the Dan-formation stage failing to hunt down monsters and instead being devoured by high-level monsters.
It can be seen that although the benefits obtained from hunting monsters in the outer star sea are enviable, it also means the existence of high risks.
Therefore, monks who come out to hunt monsters will basically automatically form a fixed group with people they know well and act together.
This way, it's much safer.
But it is also taboo to gather a large number of people to hunt monsters together.
Because in the past, there had been events on Monster Island where monks from the entire island were integrated to hunt and kill monsters in groups.
As a result, these monks were only proud for a while, and they were attacked by several deep-sea monsters of level seven or above and a large group of other monsters. Not only did these monks suffer heavy casualties, but even the monster island was destroyed by these monsters.
Totally destroyed.
After this happened twice more, no one dared to gather too many monks at one time to act. At most, it was a small group of a few or a dozen people.
This has also resulted in a situation where there are many small groups on each monster island, and lone monks with advanced cultivation are being attracted.
Based on the information obtained above, Han Li immediately looked serious after flying out of Ningcui Island.
Not only did he release powerful spiritual consciousness, covering an area of tens of feet around him, but he also drove the divine wind boat with all his strength, turning into a white light and flying through the air at extremely fast speeds.
Every time Han Li flew for several hours, he would stop and check the direction, fearing that he would fly in the wrong direction and not find where he wanted to go.
Don't tell me, Han Li's luck is really good!
Along the way, apart from spotting a level 5 monster playing on the sea in the distance, Han Li made a slight detour, but did not encounter any trouble.
After flying around like this for three days, I finally saw a fiery red island.
After flying a little closer, we can see that this island is actually made up of many bright red corals, which sparkle under the sunlight. It is really beautiful and charming!
Han Li stopped over the island, with a look of joy on his face.
