"If you are not familiar with Nansha Island, you can come to me at any time."
Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement, collected the formation materials, abandoned the boat, and boarded the ferry.
It was the Cheng family's cultivator's turn to be on duty at the ferry today.
When he saw Cheng Surong, he showed a hint of surprise.
"Su Rong? You disappeared for half a month without a word. Your uncle was so worried that he went to the head of the family twice for you. Where on earth have you been these days?"
Cheng Surong had already thought about how to respond. She lowered her head slightly, a hint of apology showing on her face at the right time.
"I went out to sea half a month ago, and I thought I would be back in three or five days. I didn't tell my uncle about it before I left. But I didn't expect to encounter a storm at sea, which delayed me until now."
When the Cheng family cultivator heard that they had encountered a storm, he was speechless.
Storms are rare in coastal waters, so if you encounter one, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Cheng Surong was lucky to survive the storm.
"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. You have great hope of building your foundation. Even the head of the family has high hopes for you."
As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards the strange female cultivator next to Cheng Surong whose cultivation level was unknown, and a sense of importance rose 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 him, I would have been buried in the sea."
After Cheng Surong finished speaking, she introduced Xu Chunniang, "This is my third uncle."
"I am the third in my family, so you can call me Cheng San."
Cheng San showed a friendly smile on his face, "You look very unfamiliar, is this your first time to visit Nansha Island? Could you please show me your identity token?"
Xu Chunniang naturally did not have an identity token to show, so she could only create one for herself.
"I am a monk from an unknown island. I have never been far away from home and I don't have an identity token."
Cheng San was a little surprised. Almost every day, there were monks from the small island coming to Nansha Island.
However, it is rare to see a female cultivator like the one in front of him who does not have an identity token even in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"In this case, you may have to buy an identity token. On the island, this identity token is your only proof. You can also use this token to go to other islands."
Xu Chunniang nodded. She had heard about this from Cheng Surong before coming, so she was not surprised.
"That's perfect. Let my niece lead the way for you to buy the identity token."
Cheng San gestured to Cheng Surong, who immediately understood and led the way.
Xu Chunniang walked behind, observing Nansha Island along the way, and found that it was just as Cheng Surong said, with cultivators and mortals living together on the island.
However, most mortals and low-level monks live in the outer areas of the island.
The higher the cultivation level of the monk, the closer to the interior the place he lives is, and the safer it is.
Cheng Surong took Xu Chunniang to a place that specially provided identity tokens for monks. The person who handled the matter was an older female monk.
But because she takes good care of herself, she doesn't look old, but instead has a mature charm.
"She is Liu Qinglan, the younger 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, walked up and said hello.
The Nansha Island is neither small nor big. The people who actually hold power on the island are the three major families, so it is natural that they have quite a few dealings with them on a daily basis.
Liu Qinglan nodded slightly towards Cheng Surong, but her attention was on the person behind her.
When he sensed that person's breath was still above his body, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Her cultivation level is at the eighth level of foundation building, which makes her a rare and powerful person on the Nansha Island, except for those famous Jindan cultivators.
This female cultivator who appeared out of nowhere turned out to have a cultivation level two points higher than hers.
Liu Qinglan smiled, "Fellow Daoist, are you here to buy an ID card? I wonder which one you would like to buy?"
Xu Chunniang had heard Cheng Surong mention early in the morning that there were many types of identity cards. Not only were they different for each realm, but even within the same realm, there were many types to choose from.
For example, an ID card for a Qi training period not only can be used to verify identity, but also has the functions of protection and positioning.
As for the identity card in the foundation-building period, it has more functions. In addition to the above, it also has many other functions such as communication and retrieval.
It sounds much more powerful than the sect disciple order in her hand.
However, Cheng Surong did not have a Foundation Establishment stage identity card, so she only had a general idea about these functions.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, "I have been practicing on the island before, and I have never removed my identity card. I wonder if you can give me a detailed introduction?"
"sure."
Liu Qinglan waved his hand, and a row of identity cards made of different materials appeared on the table.
"This is the simplest one, requiring only one hundred spirit stones, but its only function is to record the cultivator's soul and cultivation."
She introduced them one by one from left to right.
The further you go in the future, the more powerful the identity card becomes. This small token has the functions of protection, positioning, communication, and retrieval.
Of course, the greater the utility, the higher the corresponding price.
"Like this token, its material itself is made of the bones of a golden elixir-stage sea monster. The defensive formation inside it can withstand the power of a golden elixir-stage attack. It can also communicate freely with other cultivators within a range of 100,000 miles."
Liu Qinglan held up a jet-black token and spoke eloquently.
"It contains many illustrations of sea monsters, their living habits, attack characteristics, and their appearance ranges. It also comes with a sea chart of the five southern islands. If you go to other places in the future, you can add new sea charts to it. It is very practical."
Xu Chunniang's eyes lit up with wonder when she heard this. Not to mention its other effects, but the fact that it could withstand an attack from a Jindan realm made her very excited.
After all, who would complain about having too many means to save their lives
“This token is really good.”
Seeing that there was a chance, Liu Qinglan took the initiative to make an offer.
"This token is priced at 60,000 Spiritual Stones. Today, I want to establish a good relationship with you and reduce the price by 3,000 Spiritual Stones. You only need to pay 57,000 Spiritual Stones."
Cheng Surong, who was standing by, gasped when she heard this astronomical figure and kept signaling to Xu Chunniang with her eyes.
Fifty-seven thousand spirit stones are more than enough to buy a top-grade spiritual weapon for a foundation-building cultivator!
Although it is true that this token can withstand an attack from the Jindan realm, it is only a one-time thing.
If a top-grade spiritual weapon is used with care, it can be used for decades or even hundreds of years!
Comparing the two, the top-grade spiritual weapon is naturally superior.
Xu Chunniang caught a glimpse of Cheng Surong's strong hint and responded with a comforting look.
She had heard from Cheng Surong about the prices of goods in Nansha Island.
This place is surrounded by the sea, and the sea is rich in various cultivation resources, but the number of spiritual mines is not large.
Therefore, in this sea cultivation world, not only are there more high-level cultivators than in the Northwest Continent, but spirit stones are also much more valuable.
The result is that with the same amount of spirit stones, one can buy better quality spiritual tools and materials in this sea-based cultivation world.
