Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 854 Departure
The days go by, half a year flies by in the blink of an eye.

The moon was hanging high, and the stars were shining brightly. In the remote mountain forest, a ray of light shot down, revealing the figure of a handsome man. It was Tangning.

As he escaped from the light, the door of the wooden house opened wide, and Ding Jianyang came out with a faint smile on his face.

The two exchanged a few words, and then the light rose, and they headed south.

In the Wutong Pavilion of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, the two changed into black robes and hats and entered the inner room.

A pretty woman dressed in the costume of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce came forward, Jishou said: "Two friends, what can I do for you?"

Tangning said, "Excuse me, is there a merchant ship from your pavilion to Qinghai? We're going there."

"I'm very sorry, the Chamber of Commerce has now stopped all business dealings with Qinghai, and there are no merchant ships to Qinghai."

"Stop Qing Hai's business dealings, why?"

The woman replied: "This happened a long time ago. Ever since the Nether Sea organization took control of Qing Hai and drove away all the chambers of commerce stationed on the island, we have also stopped doing business with Qing Hai."

"Then how should we get to Qinghai?"

"Friends of Taoism can go to Fenghua City first, where there is the Wutong Pavilion of the Nether Sea Organization, and you can go there through their merchant ships."

"Okay! Please check for us, when will the merchant ship from Guige head to Fenghua City depart, the sooner the better."

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment." The woman turned back to the cabinet, took out a thick book to read, and after a short while, she came to the two of them: "Five days later, the Chamber of Commerce will send a Heavenly Spirit Ship to Fenghua City. One Shi, what do fellow Daoists think?"

"can."

Tangning flipped through her hands, and took out forty top-grade spirit stones from her storage bag and handed them over to the woman. Ding Jianyang, who had been silent since joining the cabinet, also handed over [-] spirit stones.

The woman took the Lingshi, took out two number plates, and asked the two to sign and draw on the file, and then led the two to the backyard room to rest.

"Let's talk about it now! What exactly is the secret treasure that Zhu Mingxuan discovered?" Inside the room, Tangning took off her bamboo hat and asked.

"I'll tell you when I get there."

Tangning glanced at him, "I always have the right to know which island it is on."

"Manatee Island is a small deserted island to the east of Tianfu Island, with a radius of only two or three thousand miles."

Before Tangning could ask again, he saw that he had already sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and practiced.

A month later, the two arrived in Fenghua City. When they came to the Wutong Pavilion in Nether City, a woman dressed in the Nether Sea Organization came up to them and said, "What do you two fellow Taoists need?"

"We are going to Tianfu Island, is there a merchant ship in your pavilion?"

The woman took out a stack of thick files and looked it up: "Ten days later, we have a Fengling boat departing for Xianling Island, and it needs [-] million spirit stones. How would you like it, fellow Taoist?"

"Wind Spirit Boat? How long will it take to get from here to Fairy Spirit Island?"

"About fifteen months."

"Fifteen months." Tangning glanced at Ding Jianyang, but saw him shake his head slightly.

"Is there a sky spirit ship?"

"For the Sky Spirit Ship, you have to wait for a month."

"How long will it take to arrive?"

"It will take about three to four months, and three million spirit stones will be needed."

Three million, Tang Ning was a little hesitant. With his current salary, there are only four million spirit stones a year. If he takes the Sky Spirit Boat, he will get seven million spirit stones for a round trip, which is equivalent to his two-year salary. .

He didn't care about the longer time, he had already greeted Yu Gan before this trip.

The most important thing is that he now has a total of more than five million spirit stones in total, all of which are on his body. This trip back and forth is not enough for the travel expenses!
Ding Jianyang's words were not clear. I don't know what the secret treasure is, and whether it is worth so many spirit stones is a matter of debate. What's more, even Ding Jianyang can't guarantee whether it has been discovered there or not. There.

If he missed so much and lost so many spirit stones, it would be a waste of money and man.

Coming back is a problem.

After much deliberation, Tangning decided to take the Wind Spirit Boat. Although it took a little longer, it would not be a loss if she could save [-] million spirit stones.

If there is really a secret treasure there that has not been discovered by others, it is fine to come back by the Sky Spirit Ship.

He was about to speak, but Ding Jianyang said in a hoarse voice first: "We are going to take the Sky Spirit Ship."

Tangning glanced at him, but said nothing.

"Two fellow Taoists, please follow me." The woman led them to the second floor of the attic, in front of a stone room, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A thick man's voice came from inside.

The woman pushed the door open and entered, and inside sat a middle-aged man with a beard and full cheeks, who was cultivated in the late Yuanying period.

"Friend Martial Arts, these two guests are going to take the Heavenly Spirit Ship from our headquarters to Xianling Island." The woman Jishou said.

The rules of the Nether Sea Organization are very strange. They did not use titles such as senior, uncle, and adult to distinguish between high and low cultivation bases to show respect.

Instead, they are all called Taoist friends, regardless of the level of monks. According to them, this is to show that everyone in the organization is equal, only the position is different, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Daoyou, as the name suggests, is a friend of the same way, and it is the most basic title for monks to communicate in the practice world.

The man glanced at the two of them: "Why did the two fellow Taoists go to Xianling Island?"

"Does your department still have this rule when boarding merchant ships?" Tangning was vigilant.

The man smiled: "I saw that the two fellow daoists were dressed strangely, so I asked out of curiosity. Now that the entire Qinghai has been brought under the jurisdiction of our organization, except for the fellow daoists of our organization who come and go on business, few people have traveled such a long distance to the island. .”

"Since the two fellow daoists don't want to talk about it, then that's fine, but I have to remind the two fellow daoists that Qing Hai is different today. When you two arrive at Xianling Island, remember to abide by the rules of the island and don't make trouble, otherwise Do so at your own peril."

Tang Ning said, "The two of us are monks from Xianling Island. This time, we are only going back to Xianling Island to deal with some private matters. We will never violate your organization's taboo. Seniors, don't worry."

"I also kindly remind you, so as not to cause any unpleasantness when the time comes, it's good for the two fellow Taoists to know, there are six million spirit stones in total."

The two each took out [-] spirit stones from their storage bags and handed them to him. The man took the spirit stones, handed them their number plates, and asked them to sign and draw on the file.

"Yu Daoyou, take the two guests to the backyard to rest!"

"Yes, please, fellow daoists." The woman responded, leading the two of them out of the house and to the back courtyard: "Friends of daoism, please rest here in peace. friend."

"It's work."

The woman turned and left. When she returned to the pavilion, she saw another man in the Nether Sea costume approaching her and said, "Friend Daoist Yu, friend Wu Dao, please come over."

"Okay." The woman returned to the room on the second floor of the attic, and said to the middle-aged man surnamed Wu, "What do you want me to do?"

"Did those two settle down just now?"

"Yes, already checked in."

"What do you think?"

"There must be something weird. Two Golden Core monks spent millions of spirit stones to go to Fairy Island, and they dressed so strangely that they refused to reveal their identities."

"Well, I also think their motives are impure, how about this! You are responsible for this matter to the end. When they board the boat, tell them to keep an eye on them."

"Okay, I see."

In the bright and spacious room, seeing the woman leave, Tangning said, "Our trip will not be in vain!"

Ding Jianyang still had that hoarse voice: "I don't know."

"Looking at you, it seems that you don't care about millions of spirit stones."

Ding Jianyang said: "It's not that I don't care, it's that I don't have so much time to go back and forth. If I take the Fengling boat, it will take at least three or four years to go back and forth. can not say it clearly."

"I have racked my brains and tried every means to find time this time."

"Furthermore, now that the money has been paid, what's the use of worrying about gains and losses? Everything is left to fate."

Tang Ning said: "I'm curious, how much salary they can give you every year, let you spend three million spirit stones without even blinking an eye, with my cultivation level, it's only four million spirit stones a year in this sect .Does it mean that their salary is higher than mine?"

"My annual salary is [-] spirit stones."

"Six hundred thousand, not even enough for pills, but judging by the way you threw three million, it seems that you have a lot of money."

"If you're so curious, it's okay to tell you. When the Mubei monsters went south, the Zhu family transferred all their assets to the Chamber of Commerce just in case. After Zhu Bochong died, I have the final say on the Zhu family's affairs. The property naturally fell into my hands. The Zhu family has stood in Xingang for a thousand years, and there are still some assets, at least more than enough for me to practice alone."

"What about the Zhu family?"

"The Mubei monsters have gone south, and the Zhu family has long existed in name only. They are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs. What kind of waves can they make?"

"Where's Zhu Yunrou?"

"After all, she is the wife I am marrying. The rest of the Zhu family can ignore it. How can she ignore it? I have always brought her by my side. She is dying."

"End of life?" It was hard for Tangning to imagine what kind of torture Zhu Yunrou had endured before she died in exchange for such a simple sentence of end of life.

With Ding Jianyang's deep-rooted hatred for her, he will definitely not let her go easily, and the words of keeping her by his side all the time make people think carefully and terribly.

What's more, with Zhu Yunrou's temperament, the two of them wanted to be at odds with each other, so how could they stay by his side all the time, unless they were irresistible.

All of this can only be said to be karma, and heaven will pay it back. If Zhu Yunrou hadn't been so domineering and had a little bit of benevolence, she wouldn't have ended up like this today if she hadn't humiliated Ding Jianyang in every possible way.

"Do you think it's possible for them to spy on us?" Tangning walked to the window, looked out, and asked.

Since this is the Nether City, it is unavoidable that someone is watching, and the two did not take off their bamboo hats when they talked.

"I don't know, maybe it will!"

"Then how should we deal with it? You should understand their behavior!"

"Don't worry too much. From what I know about them, they seldom interfere and harass casual cultivators. At most, they send people to quietly monitor them. When they arrive at Fairy Island, they just get rid of them."

Tangning frowned slightly and remained silent. For a while, the two practiced behind closed doors in the courtyard every day without going out.

Three months later, the two finally arrived at Fairy Island.
