This small black dot is exactly where Cheng Qingjia is.
After Cheng Shangling talked to her, the other party took Cheng Qingjia's token without his knowledge and did this.
In this way, Xu Chunniang could keep track of his whereabouts at any time.
Pingfeng Island is as big as a city, with a constant stream of cultivators coming and going, most of whom are in the middle or late stages of foundation building.
Occasionally, a Jindan cultivator would pass by. Although there was envy on everyone's faces, they did not think it was strange. It was obvious that they were used to it.
Xu Chunniang was walking on the street, seemingly careless, but in fact she was always paying attention to the small black dot.
As long as this little black dot still exists in her token, it means that Cheng Qingjia is still alive.
She followed slowly, but found that the little black dot suddenly stopped moving.
This place is deep into Pingfeng Island, and those coming and going are all children of noble families and prominent guests.
In order to avoid conflicts and troubles, everyone in such places would consciously restrain their spiritual awareness.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and did not rush to follow. She found an inn nearby and waited patiently.
After a few days passed and the small black dot still did not move, she used her skills to change her body shape and appearance, transforming into the appearance of a middle-aged female cultivator.
Later, she found out that the place where the small black spot was located was a private residence.
Xu Chunniang guessed that this house should be Zhan Yingluo's private property.
I just don't know whether she brought Cheng Qingjia here to live here for a long time or has other plans.
This area is located in the central part of Pingfeng Island, with abundant spiritual energy and relative safety.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Chunniang simply rented a small courtyard across the street from the small black spot and lived there.
Although the yard is small, it has all the necessary formations and is extremely safe and concealed.
After slightly strengthening the formation in the courtyard, Xu Chunniang left a wisp of spiritual consciousness in the token, always paying attention to the movements of the small black dot.
He also sent out more than ten rove beetles to guard outside the yard where Cheng Qingjia lived.
These rove beetles originally only had the fourth or fifth level of Qi training, but after a year of non-stop feeding, most of them have reached the sixth or seventh level of Qi training.
The group that had been trained as the focus had reached the eighth level of Qi training.
Among them, there was even one that broke through to the ninth level of Qi training.
The ones Xu Chunniang sent out were ordinary rove beetles that had practiced Qi for six or seven years.
She had at least seventy or eighty of these common rove beetles, and she didn't feel sad even if some of them died.
The sea cultivation world is mostly populated by sea monsters, while insect monsters are relatively rare, and no one recognizes this rove beetle.
In addition, this place is close to the center of Pingfeng Island, and the monks passing by dare not send out their spiritual sense at will, which is why these rove beetles that only have Qi training level are able to survive.
After hiding the rove beetle and keeping a close eye on the movements in the house, Xu Chunniang took out a piece of bone.
This piece of bone was the one given by Cheng Shangling, the one that recorded the sea chart.
She probed a large amount of her spiritual consciousness into the bone fragment, and she saw that the vastness of the sea chart recorded in the bone fragment was just like the boundless sky.
The large and small islands in the nautical chart are arranged in an orderly manner, like stars in the sky.
Every tiny glimmer of light represents an island.
Xu Chunniang looked at it for a long time and finally realized that this sea chart recorded the entire Xuanzhou!
The one in the center, surrounded by three large islands like a moon surrounded by stars, is the ancestral island of the entire Xuanzhou and also the birthplace of Xuanzhou.
She searched for a while before she found the location of Pingfeng Island on the nautical chart.
This medium-sized island occupies only a very small space in the entire nautical chart.
As for small islands like the five southern islands, they are as small as dust.
After Xu Chunniang wrote down the entire sea chart, she destroyed the bone fragments.
She originally thought that the nautical chart that Cheng Shangling gave her only recorded a few medium-sized islands around Pingfeng Island.
But unexpectedly, he gave her a surprise and gave her the sea map of the entire Xuanzhou.
In this way, it was worth her promise to Cheng Shangling to protect Cheng Qingjia for a year.
After Xu Chunniang took note of the sea chart, she saw that the small black dot had not moved and the rove beetles that had been sent out had not made any movement, so she continued to organize her experience in the art of formation.
She had already become a second-level formation master at a very early stage.
Before entering the pseudo world, I was constantly organizing what I had learned.
By chance, she came to this world of cultivation on the sea. After seeing the formations that were of the same origin but unique to this place, she became even more eager to learn and studied hard, reading all the books on formations in the Cheng family's library.
In recent days, when Xu Chunniang was sorting out her experience in setting up formations and reviewing the rules of formation operation, she could clearly feel that her understanding of formations was constantly deepening.
She put down the bone fragment in her hand, took out a pen and paper and began to calculate.
On the left is what I learned in Xiaoyao Sect, and on the right is the new principles of formation that I came into contact with after coming to this world of cultivation on the sea.
Soon, the blank paper was covered with ink-colored characters.
The so-called formation is the combination of spirit and matter, and it exhausts all the changes in mathematics.
The more you calculate, the more you can appreciate the complexity of the formation, and marvel at its vastness and infinite mystery.
She was so absorbed in her concentration that she gradually forgot everything around her.
Under this extreme concentration, Xu Chunniang fell into a mysterious state, a state of extreme silence and calmness.
In this state, time seems to be infinitely stretched, slowed down, and almost frozen.
In her eyes, there were only countless lines full of spiritual energy, following the predetermined routes, combining and operating in a certain inherent way.
She seemed to be able to feel that the unique spiritual energy in the spiritual creature was stimulated in some unique way, and the vigorous spiritual energy that burst out was obedient and acted according to certain rules and trajectories.
The eight gates in the formation are located in eight directions and are constantly changing, like the innate eight trigrams, endless and lasting.
Even the formation was looming and erratic in the constantly changing formation.
Only the center of the formation never moved at all from beginning to end.
As Xu Chunniang's thoughts fluctuated, the formation showed more complex and subtle changes.
Continuous evolution and derivation...
It was three months later when she regained consciousness and recovered from this mysterious state.
And wherever she looked, there was a manuscript covered with characters.
Xu Chunniang waved her hand, and the pieces of paper in the room suddenly came alive, neatly gathered into a pile and fell beside her hand.
She felt a little surprised. She didn't expect that she would make a breakthrough in the way of formations before her cultivation.
Moreover, this breakthrough in the formation made her feel as if she had vaguely grasped something.
Stretching across the Golden Elixir Avenue, the dark and obscure road ahead became clearer.
Xu Chunniang took out a wooden box and carefully put away all the manuscripts. Then she scanned the token with her spiritual sense.
After entering the realm of trance and enlightenment, the wisp of consciousness she had left in it was quietly withdrawn.
The little black dot was still in its original position.
Xu Chunniang knew very well that if the little black dot left the house, the rove beetle guarding outside the house would definitely notice the movement and report it to her.
