"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Xu's next plan is, will he go to Fenglei Island with us
Fenglei Island is a large island. Within the circle centered on it, there are dozens of medium-sized islands and hundreds of small islands that can be reached directly. "
The monk surnamed Zhou looked at Xu Chunniang with a warm expression.
“No matter which island is attacked, we can teleport directly there from Fenglei Island.
Since the battles between humans and sea monsters have become more frequent, the island has activated a wartime state, and anyone who comes to help can use the teleportation array for free."
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang was quite interested.
Even though there is some danger in going to the front line to fight against the sea monster, compared with the double income and the temptation of the infant transformation pill, this danger seems to be negligible.
There was a hint of hesitation in the old woman's eyes, and then she spoke sincerely.
"If you don't want to go to the frontline, you can stay on my Qionglin Island. Although my Qionglin Island is just a small island, you have been very kind to us, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.
She wants to go to the front line to kill sea monsters, earn enough merits, and then exchange them for resources to quickly improve her cultivation!
The Infant Transformation Pill is the goal of most Jindan cultivators.
But Xu Chunniang, who practiced the Tai Shang Xiao Yao Heart Sutra, does not need it.
But she really needs other cultivation resources besides the Infant Transformation Pill, such as top-grade spirit stones!
As long as there are enough top-grade spirit stones, one can push his cultivation to an extremely high level.
In addition, various third-order formations including the teleportation formation, more detailed sea charts, and information related to the Dead Sea are all what she needs.
Since merits can even be exchanged for the Infant Pill, perhaps information related to the Dead Sea can also be exchanged for it.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, rejected the old woman's invitation, and nodded slightly to the monk named Zhou.
"I have decided to go to the front line to kill the sea monsters and prepare to go to Fenglei Island. I hope Brother Zhou can give me more advice."
A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the monk named Zhou. The other party was quite powerful and it would be of great benefit to make friends with him.
"I don't deserve your guidance. I may need your care in the future. Since you have made your decision, let's set off now without further delay."
Xu Chunniang nodded and called over Xiaobai, who was still enjoying ambushing and killing sea monsters in the early stage of foundation building.
Xiaobai did not open up an independent space. There was a storage ring hanging on his claws, and the ring already contained five or six sea monsters at the first or second level of foundation building.
It proudly waved the ring in front of Xu Chunniang, showing off its glorious achievements.
According to the calculation that a sea monster in the foundation-building stage is worth at least thirty merit points,
Xu Chunniang made a rough calculation and found that there were nearly two hundred merit points here.
Converted into spirit stones, that would be a full 20,000.
Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing.
When the monk surnamed Zhou saw Xiaobai, he didn't feel much emotion.
At the Jindan stage, it is common to have one or two exotic beasts.
Several people set off, first flying to the island closest to Qionglin Island using the escape technique, and then going to Fenglei Island via the teleportation array on the island.
On Fenglei Island, the monks coming and going were in a hurry with solemn expressions, giving a feeling that a storm was about to come.
After saying goodbye to the others one by one, Monk Zhou led Xu Chunniang to the newly built Hall of Merit next to the Teleportation Hall.
"Friend Xu, this is the Hall of Merit. Here you can see the news from various islands, and choose whether to provide support or not based on the actual situation."
Xu Chunniang smelled the body and looked towards a huge light screen in the store.
At the top of the light screen there are several lines of eye-catching red characters, which show the names, locations and specific conditions of several islands.
Below the five or six rows of eye-catching red islands, there are dozens of rows of yellow islands.
At the bottom of the light curtain, there are some gray islands.
“Red means these islands are currently being attacked by sea monsters; yellow means these islands need to be carefully guarded against, as they are likely to be the next targets of sea monsters.
As for those gray islands, they have been occupied by sea monsters."
The monk surnamed Zhou glanced across the light curtain, his expression taking on a hint of solemnity.
When he left, there were only three or four red islands under attack, and only a dozen yellow islands that needed to be guarded against.
But just over ten days later, the fighting escalated again and the situation became increasingly serious.
Perhaps the rumors he heard in the tribe were true.
The sea creatures took action in secret, controlling these sea monsters to start a war, wanting to destroy the human race.
The monk surnamed Zhou suppressed his worries, thinking that it was not time to do that at the moment.
Among the human cultivators, there are also many high-level cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and they will not be exterminated so easily by the sea clan.
He took a deep breath and said it in a relaxed tone.
"If Fellow Daoist Xu wants to accept the mission, he only needs to follow the instructions above and use the Sea Travel Order to accept it.
There are many monks who want to earn merits, and they have to fight for missions. "
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, wrote down the steps to accept the task, and then swept her eyes to the three eye-catching lists on the east side of the hall.
Monk Zhou followed her gaze and explained.
"This list is the Merit List, which is divided into three lists according to the different levels of cultivation. The list only includes the cultivators ranked in the top 10,000 in terms of merit points, from the top to the bottom.
The list was established to motivate all monks to go to the front line and kill sea monsters.
Monks on the list can enjoy certain discounts when exchanging resources, and can also receive additional merit points as rewards every month."
Xu Chunniang did not pay much attention to the lists of the Nascent Soul stage and the Foundation Establishment stage, and looked at the Golden Core stage's merit list.
Her eyes fell on the top of the list. The person with the most merit points was named Qin Yu, who had more than 50,000 merit points.
The second place's merit value was only 30,000, which was more than 20,000 less than this person.
Cultivator Zhou explained, "Yanzhou has three major islands under its jurisdiction, and Fenglei Island is only one of them, but this merit list is universal for the entire Yanzhou.
This cultivator named Qin Yu is from Zeshan Island. Zeshan Island was the first area to be attacked by sea monsters."
Xu Chunniang nodded and continued to look down the list.
After the tenth place, the gap in merit points between monks with similar rankings on the list narrowed a lot.
She kept looking until the last one, and the monk ranked ten thousandth had earned nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-three merit points.
Just as she looked over, the name of the 10,000th monk suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a new name.
It seems that this list is updated all the time.
The monk named Zhou added some explanations about merit points, then took out the Sea Travel Order with a natural look.
"Fellow Daoist Xu doesn't know any cultivators on this Fenglei Island, so why not let me exchange souls with you? If there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask me.
My name is Zhou Xing, please write it down in your soul."
