Chapter 107 Ants, Fellow Daoists, Seniors
"Yes!" Huan Jing replied, "In fact, Penglai Island is not a secret here. Basically, anyone you ask on the street can know some information about it."
"It's just that the information told by each person is different, and it's hard to tell who's real and who's fake."
"I was away for so long just now because I was sorting out the authenticity of the relevant information for the guests. We agreed in advance that we don't know whether the information about Penglai Island we provided is true or false. If there is any mistake, the guests can't blame our Tiandi Chamber of Commerce."
"Our Tiandi Chamber of Commerce values credibility and reputation the most. If a customer uses this to defame our Tiandi Chamber of Commerce, we will send people to hunt the customer down."
There was no emotion on Ning Ruoxi's face. She responded softly and waited for Huan Jing's next words.
Huan Jing said no more and took out another jade slip and placed it in front of Ning Ruoxi.
"Since we are not sure whether the news is true or not, we will not charge you too much. We only need ten medium-grade spirit stones."
After Ning Ruoxi handed over the spirit stone, she picked up the jade slip to investigate.
The jade slips contained mixed information about Penglai Island. There were rumors that Penglai Island was an island in the fairyland where immortals lived. As long as one went to the island, one could ascend to heaven.
Seeing this, Ning Ruoxi frowned. This piece of news was too ridiculous. It was not that easy to become an immortal.
Ning Ruoxi continued to read and saw another piece of news saying that there was an immortal living on Penglai Island. As long as you completed the immortal's test, the immortal could fulfill any of your requests.
This piece of news is similar to what Li Yunyun said, but unfortunately there are no more details.
Penglai Island doesn't actually exist in the world of immortal cultivation. It's just something people made up...
Penglai Island is actually just an ordinary island, but people have spread rumors about it...
Penglai Island is a forbidden place, where countless monsters are imprisoned...
…….
After reading the jade slip, Ning Ruoxi frowned subconsciously. None of the information mentioned how to find Penglai Island. She was still completely confused at the moment.
Huan Jing saw Ning Ruoxi frowning, and guessed that Ning Ruoxi was dissatisfied with the news, so he asked: "Guest, do you want to find Penglai Island?"
Ning Ruoxi did not hide the fact that she was asking about the news on Penglai Island. Her motive was obvious enough. "Yeah."
"Penglai Island is not easy to find." Huan Jing continued with Ning Ruoxi's words, "Every year, there are people like you who want to find Penglai Island, but unfortunately, most people return empty-handed, and a few unlucky people die in the stomachs of sea beasts."
"If you really want to find Penglai Island, the map of the East China Sea won't be of much help to you. Every place on the map has been explored. You should look for it in unexplored areas outside the map. But that would be too dangerous."
Huan Jing guessed what Ning Ruoxi was going to do next with just a few words. If she wanted to find Penglai Island, she could only look for it in the sea area outside the map.
But what exactly is Penglai Island like? What if Ning Ruoxi is found but can't recognize me?
"Sir, I have heard from the Chamber of Commerce that a flying ship is about to set off to search for Penglai Island. Are you willing to go with us?"
"What do you mean?" Ning Ruoxi didn't understand. Could it be that someone else was looking for Penglai Island?
Huan Jing explained, "My dear, I just told you that every year there are people who want to find Penglai Island. Over time, some people have formed groups to search for Penglai Island together."
"A faction called 'Xunlai' has evolved in Changqing Island. As the name suggests, it means looking for Penglai. They will provide flywheels to those who are looking for Penglai Island. Guests only need to spend a certain amount of spirit stones to board the ship."
"And there should be some reliable information about Penglai Island in 'Xunlai'."
"Thank you!" Ning Ruoxi stood up and prepared to leave.
Huan Jing stopped Ning Ruoxi and said, "If you want to go to Xunlai, please go to the south of Changqingdao. That is the starting point for Xunlai."
"Um."
Huan Jing sent Ning Ruoxi to the door of Tiandi Chamber of Commerce. She looked at Ning Ruoxi's back and murmured, "Why are so many people obsessed with finding Penglai?"
"The rumors praise Penglai so much, and as a cultivator, you still believe it..."
Ning Ruoxi came to the "Xunlai" mentioned by Huan Jing. The flywheel is a flying magic weapon, a huge aerial ship that is driven by spirit stones or spiritual power.
If you want to ride the flywheel, you need to pay one thousand high-quality spirit stones, and then you can set out to find Penglai Island.
However, there is a rule after getting on the flywheel. When the number of people who want to give up looking for Penglai Island exceeds 70%, the flywheel will give up looking for Penglai Island and return.
Ning Ruoxi found the leader of "Xunlai", an old cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
"I want to get on the flywheel and look for Penglai."
The old man glanced at Ning Ruoxi and said calmly, "One thousand high-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."
Ning Ruoxi raised her hand and waved, and a thousand high-quality spirit stones flew towards the old man. The old man's mouth curled up, and his attitude became much better after receiving the spirit stones.
"You can get on board first. The flyship will depart in three days. You can just find an empty room on the flyship to rest."
"Yes!" Ning Ruoxi flew towards the flywheel. There were already many cultivators waiting on the deck. When they saw the newcomer, they clasped their fists and greeted Ning Ruoxi, "Daoyou."
Ning Ruoxi ignored them and went into the cabin alone and found an empty room.
Seeing Ning Ruoxi's cold attitude, a flat-headed man said with some dissatisfaction, "Why are you pretending?"
The other black-robed man waved his hand nonchalantly, "As a monk, isn't it normal for some people to have withdrawn personalities?"
"Maybe his personality is slow to warm up."
“…”
Ning Ruoxi withdrew her spiritual sense. Most of these people were at the Nascent Soul stage, and she had no interest in talking to them at all.
If she wanted to, she could kill all of them in one breath.
Ning Ruoxi also discovered that as long as the cultivators of the Qitai Islands reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, they could become the kings.
The truly high-level cultivators are still on land. As long as you have a high level of cultivation, what resources can't you grab?
The island is a bit like a barbaric land. You have to explore and find everything by yourself, and you face many more dangers than on land.
Lin Shuang once told Ning Ruoxi that there are actually only three levels in cultivating immortals.
The ant realm, the fellow Taoist realm and the senior realm.
Each realm has a different name, such as: Ants Die, Fellow Daoist, Please Stay, and Senior, Please Spare My Life.
These monks on the deck are all independent cultivators. They have only known each other for a short time and do not know each other well. Who knows if someone will stab them in the back?
Respect is something you earn yourself, not given by others.
If this flat-headed man had reached the fusion stage, Ning Ruoxi might even say "Greetings, senior".
