Xu Chunniang knew clearly that the current prosperity of the maritime cultivation world was inseparable from its unique geographical location.
Compared to the sacred mountain where the five sects are located, the spiritual energy on the island is more dense, and the sea is filled with inexhaustible sea monsters and various cultivation resources.
In addition, the island is surrounded by sea water on all sides and may be attacked by sea monsters at any time, which makes the monks on the island feel full of crisis and have an extremely strong desire to practice.
The combination of many factors has led to the current maritime cultivation world.
Xu Chunniang wandered around the island aimlessly, and when she saw something of interest, she would stop to take a closer look.
The clerk in the store had only the sixth level of Qi training, but his eyes had long been trained to be extremely sharp. When Xu Chunniang just entered the store, he could tell that she was definitely not a cultivator in the Qi training stage.
Seeing that the other party seemed quite interested in the formation, he was even more attentive to the reception.
"Fairy, are you a formation master? I wonder what kind of formation you want to buy to learn?"
Xu Chunniang put down the bone piece in her hand that had been polished very smoothly and was used to record information.
The principles of these formations are similar to what she has learned, except that the materials used in setting up the formations are different.
She originally wanted to see if there were any new formations and look for a teleportation formation.
But after searching for a long time, I found that most of these formations were first-level formations.
Occasionally one or two second-level formations would appear, but they only had the effect of reconnaissance and assistance, which obviously did not meet her requirements.
"Do you have any other formations here, such as a teleportation formation?"
The waiter immediately shook his head. "The teleportation array has always been controlled by the three major families on the island. The inheritance of the teleportation array is also in the hands of the three major families. We are a small business, how can we have such a thing?"
Xu Chunniang was not too disappointed when she heard this.
The islands are independent, and teleportation arrays are the main means of connecting the islands.
Such an important thing will naturally be firmly held in the hands of managers.
"Then please give me a few bone books that introduce the materials of the formation, in more detail."
The waiter agreed and took out a few bone pieces and handed them over, "A total of one hundred and twenty spirit stones."
Xu Chunniang was not in a hurry to pay the spirit stones, but asked for some other bone books and paid for them together.
Before leaving, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you have any larger sea charts?"
The identity card comes with a nautical chart of the five southern islands, but the areas beyond the five islands are completely dark.
If you want to leave the five southern islands, you need a larger nautical chart.
The waiter took out a bone fragment containing the most detailed nautical chart in the store and handed it over respectfully.
"This is the largest sea chart in our store. It records 47 islands of all sizes within the Southern Five Islands. As for the larger sea charts, they may only be in the hands of the three major families."
With the monopoly of the teleportation array and the sea chart, it seems that the three major families' control over the Nansha Island is stronger than she imagined.
Xu Chunniang nodded, did not take the bone fragment from his hand, and left the shop directly.
The sun rises earlier and sets later on the island. After walking around for a while, the sky gradually darkened.
Before dark, Xu Chunniang rented a courtyard on the inner island and personally set up the formation before she could settle down with peace of mind.
While shopping during the day, she did not forget to inquire about the Dead Sea and the Five Northwestern Sects.
But she asked indirectly in several shops, but everyone she asked had blank eyes and had no idea what she was talking about.
Xu Chunniang sighed inwardly. There were no sects on the island. These cultivation families were essentially equivalent to the sects on the northwestern continent.
What ordinary monks know is very limited, and she is afraid that she will eventually have to deal with the three major families on the island.
She thought so in her heart, but she had no intention of taking the initiative to find the three major families. Instead, she took out the bone book she had bought today and began to read.
The environment of the sea cultivation world is different, which means she is not familiar with the materials and monsters here, so she needs to familiarize herself with them.
While Xu Chunniang was catching up on these things, at the same time, her name was mentioned by Liu Qinglan in the Liu family.
"Brother, today a cultivator from a small island came to my Nansha Island. Her name is Xu Chunniang, and her cultivation level is even higher than mine."
"My cultivation level is higher than yours. How old is he?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingfeng, the head of the Liu family, immediately became interested.
If one has reached the ninth level of foundation building at a young age, he can be considered a promising talent.
Even though he is older, with such accomplishments, he is still worthy of being won over by the Liu family.
Liu Qinglan thought for a moment, "I can't tell her exact age, but I don't think she's very old, probably less than a hundred years old. But she's a fellow junior of the Cheng family, and seems to have some relationship with the Cheng family."
She briefly recounted what happened today.
Liu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with contemplation, and he finally concluded, "It seems that her rejection of the Liu and Cheng families is just because she thinks highly of herself."
"She thinks highly of herself? But I feel like she really doesn't want to be involved with the three major families."
Liu Qinglan was slightly stunned. She felt that the other party was not that kind of person.
Liu Qingfeng curled his lips and smiled, with a hint of certainty on his face.
“She was born on an unknown island. She has achieved such a high level of cultivation before she is a hundred years old. She must think she has a good talent, which is why she did not immediately accept your or the Cheng family’s invitation.
But when she stays on the island for a few more days and understands what our three major families are like, she will take the initiative to find us."
Liu Qinglan seemed to understand, "But besides my Liu family, aren't there the Cheng family and the Zhang family? Will Xu Chunniang look for the other two families?"
Liu Qingfeng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip slowly.
"Didn't you say that only your soul was recorded on her pass? If that's the case, just wait for her to come to the Liu family."
Liu Qinglan thought about it and it seemed to be true.
So what if Xu Chunniang has reached the ninth level of foundation building at such a young age? After all, she is a cultivator who came from a small island and has a short-sighted vision.
Although she has some potential and a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage, this hope is too slim.
How many cultivators who have completed the foundation building or even reached the half-step golden elixir stage are stuck at this step and cannot make any progress in their entire life
The Liu family is eager to recruit talented people, but their humble attitude will make the other party feel despised.
Liu Qinglan's mood slowly calmed down, and he secretly sighed that his brother was worthy of being the head of the family and saw things more clearly than himself.
She still has a lot to learn.
After Liu Qinglan finished discussing with his brother, he put the matter behind him and just waited for the female cultivator to come to him.
However, this wait lasted for nearly half a year.
A few months before the hunting competition began, Liu Qingfeng suddenly remembered this person and called Liu Qinglan to ask about him.
"Has the female cultivator you mentioned last time ever come to my Liu family?"
Liu Qinglan shook her head. "No, she never contacted me."
Liu Qingfeng frowned, this was strange.
Logically speaking, after such a long time, the other party should have taken some action.
Did the other party go out to sea? Or has he been in seclusion
