Xu Chunniang nodded, gave her name, took out the Sea Travel Order and exchanged her soul with him.
Zhou Xing took back the token and was very satisfied with the result.
“I encountered a sea monster on the road this time, and consumed a lot of talismans and elixirs, so I need to replenish them.
Why don't we take a short break today and then take on a rescue mission to earn merit tomorrow? If we go on a mission together, we can look after each other."
Xu Chunniang thought of the Jinyuan Pills and Detoxification Pills that she had used up, and nodded happily.
"I am not familiar with Fenglei Island, so I will go with Fellow Daoist Zhou to buy some elixirs."
After purchasing the elixirs, the two agreed to meet at the entrance of the Hall of Merit at 1:15 am the next day.
On the second day, Xu Chunniang arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Merit on time, but saw that in addition to Zhou Xing, there were two other monks standing there, a man and a woman.
Zhou Xing felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xu Chunniang.
It was originally agreed that two people would take the task together, but three people came on our side.
"Friend Xu, let me introduce you. This is my aunt Zhou Yu, who has reached the eighth level of Golden Core. This is my cousin Chang Sheng, who has reached the third level of Golden Core.
The two of them happened to be visiting my house, and after hearing about this, they expressed their willingness to join forces with us and take on the mission together.
If you mind, Fellow Daoist Xu, let's forget about it and let the two of us go together."
Zhou Xing meant that if Xu Chunniang was unwilling to team up with others, they would still go according to the previous arrangement and take on the mission together.
Hearing this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Changsheng's eyes.
This Fellow Daoist Xu is only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, while my mother has reached the eighth level of the Golden Core.
Isn’t it obvious how to choose
Besides, they and their cousin are blood relatives. Outsiders are outsiders after all, and they are not as reliable as our own people.
In his opinion, the three of them should just leave. He didn't know what his cousin saw in her.
Zhou Yu was also secretly observing Xu Chunniang. She understood her nephew's personality well and knew that he was steady and mature.
The fact that he attaches so much importance to this female cultivator shows that she is quite powerful.
But a casual cultivator is still a casual cultivator after all, and cannot be compared with the cultivators from the aristocratic families.
It was not a wise move for Zhou Xing to abandon his aunt and cousin for a mere casual cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Xu Chunniang pondered in her heart, if Zhou Xing threw his aunt and nephew aside because of her, he might offend others.
Anyway, if they take on the mission together, they will just go there and return together. If it’s not just the two of them, there will be others.
With this thought in mind, Xu Chunniang nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, let's go together."
Zhou Xing showed a smile on his face and bowed to Xu Chunniang. The four of them walked into the Hall of Merit together and started to choose their tasks.
There are also some considerations when choosing a mission. It is best not to choose an island that is about to be lost.
The situation on this island is quite critical. Once the island protection array is breached and the teleportation array is destroyed, it will be quite troublesome. This is what happened to Qionglin Island before.
Also try not to choose an island that is about to be successfully defended.
A successful defense means that there are too many monks on the island, and too few monks, so they have to compete with others for merit.
Zhou Yu looked at the row of red islands at the top with a frown.
"Many missions on small islands have already been taken. If you want to earn merit, you can only go to medium-sized islands."
"Medium-sized islands have stronger defensive capabilities, but once they are breached, the situation will be more dangerous."
Just as the four were weighing the pros and cons, monks would come hurriedly to accept the mission.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer tasks to choose from, Zhou Xing's eyes showed a hint of decisiveness.
"No more hesitation! Let's go to Chisha Island. Chisha Island was attacked by monsters the night before yesterday.
Although there are six Nascent Soul Stage sea monsters attacking Chisha Island, there are four Nascent Soul cultivators on the island, so it won’t be so easy to be defeated.”
After weighing the pros and cons, the four accepted the mission and headed directly to the teleportation hall nearby.
The Hall of Merit is set up next to the Teleportation Hall to facilitate direct teleportation after accepting a task and save time.
While waiting for the transmission, Xu Chunniang recalled the message she had just seen.
On Chisha Island, in addition to the four Nascent Soul cultivators, there are hundreds of Golden Core cultivators.
Although there are six Nascent Soul stage and over a hundred Golden Core stage sea monsters invading, the island protection formation can still hold out for a while.
As long as the island protection formation is not broken, the monks on the island will be relatively safe.
The teleportation array was soon filled with cultivators, all of whom were heading to Chisha Island to provide assistance, including several cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Someone sneered at the two of them, "A little kid in the Foundation Establishment Stage will die if he gets hurt. It's better for him not to go to the battlefield."
It is becoming increasingly difficult to gain some merits nowadays. Even those in the foundation-building stage dare to come and seek merits.
Several cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage didn't dare to say much, but they didn't turn around and leave either.
It is rare that the defense force of Chisha Island is so strong, and the island protection formation is difficult to break through for the time being, which makes it a good place to gain merit.
The person who spoke snorted when he saw how the others reacted.
These Foundation Establishment cultivators are of low strength and would only cause trouble if they were to go to the battlefield.
If Chisha Island is captured, they will become a burden.
Fortunately, the teleportation array was activated shortly after the monk finished speaking.
With a flash of white light, ten people arrived at Chisha Island, where the atmosphere was solemn.
To the east of Chisha Island, sea monsters are approaching.
Six huge Nascent Soul stage sea monsters were perched above the island protection formation, coldly scanning the human island below, bringing a strong sense of oppression.
Some Jindan-stage sea monsters were trying to attack the formation, but more were watching covetously from the sidelines.
The human cultivators were also on high alert.
Four Nascent Soul cultivators stood proudly at the front, ready to take action at any time.
Behind them, there were dozens of Jindan stage cultivators standing, closely watching the movements of the sea monster.
At those formations that were attacked by sea monsters, there were human Jindan monks fighting them across the formations to prevent the formations from being destroyed.
Several people arrived and saw this scene.
Zhou Xing glanced at the entire audience and immediately understood.
"The Nascent Soul stage monsters and most of the Golden Core stage sea monsters have not taken action. The sea monsters are still testing the waters, but a full-scale war could break out at any time."
Xu Chunniang raised her eyes and glanced at the six Nascent Soul stage monsters above the formation one by one.
These Nascent Soul monsters gave people a strong sense of oppression even through the protective formations.
Without this protective formation, no one except the four Yuanying Zhenjuns would be able to withstand their attack.
The Jindan stage sea monsters might be instigated by the sea people to attack human islands.
However, these sea monsters in the Nascent Soul stage are very powerful and do not look like they are controlled by the sea clan.
Perhaps some kind of agreement was reached between the sea clan and these Nascent Soul stage sea monsters.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and looked away.
In a battle of this level, the role a Jindan cultivator can play is really too limited.
Once the full-scale battle breaks out, the protective formation of Chisha Island will be broken, and even those with the Jindan cultivation level may be in danger of their lives.
It seems that merit points are not as easy to earn as imagined.
