After hearing Xu Chunniang's idea of wanting to take a peek at the Kunlun Fairy Mountain, the person who asked the question was shocked and tried to persuade her.
"The West Sea is full of dangers. Even for Jindan cultivators like us, we will die if we go there. The legendary Kunlun Immortal Mountain is even more illusory. Fairy Miaofa, please think twice."
Someone nearby heard the conversation between the two and nodded as well. "The Ximing Sea is extremely dangerous. Even the Yuanying Zhenjun dare not easily set foot in it. I would rather fight with sea monsters than go there."
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, without explaining her behavior in detail, and just said.
"If you have any news about Ximing and Kunlun Mountain, please tell me. I can exchange it with spirit stones. If you can provide an accurate route or sea map, you can exchange it for this siege array in my hand."
As she spoke, she took out an array disk, which was the trap array that she had made herself.
The formation plate in her hand was inferior to the ones she usually used. It was a simple trapping formation that only had the effect of encircling someone.
It was a previously failed product that was improved upon.
Xu Chunniang cast several formation spells and activated the formation plate. Suddenly, rays of spiritual light intertwined with each other, forming a cage woven of golden light.
"I've heard before that the array disk refined by Fairy Miaofa is incredibly powerful and can trap two Jindan-stage sea monsters at the same time. Could it be this thing?"
"This array plate looks really good, and its grade is at least level three. I am willing to pay 500,000 spirit stones to buy this array plate. What do you think, Fairy?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head. "I only have this array plate. I will only exchange it for the sea map leading to Ximing and Kunlun."
Everyone looked at the formation plate with mixed feelings. This formation plate was undoubtedly a good thing, but they didn't have the sea charts of Ximing and Kunlun.
A young monk considered and whispered to her.
"I don't have a map of the West Sea, but one of my ancestors went to the West Sea and wrote a travelogue of the West Sea, which records many sea monsters unique to the West Sea. I wonder if the fairy is interested in this."
Xu Chunniang's eyes moved slightly. This Journey to the West Sea sounded quite good.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know how many kinds of sea monsters are recorded in this travelogue?"
"The travelogue records more than 40 kinds of sea monsters, and also includes the weaknesses of 27 of them. My ancestor's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, so he didn't dare to go too deep into the Western Sea. Therefore, the number of sea monsters recorded in this travelogue is not that many."
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and replied via voice transmission.
"I am willing to buy the travel journal in your hand for 50,000 spirit stones. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
"Can."
After thinking for a moment, the young monk agreed to the deal, took out a blank bone tablet, and began to copy the contents of the travel notes.
After finishing the rubbing, he handed the newly rubbing bone fragment and a bone fragment that looked quite old to Xu Chunniang.
"Fairy, you can check it. There is no discrepancy between the two contents. However, this bone fragment is something from our ancestors after all. I'm sorry I can't give it to you."
Xu Chunniang took the two bone fragments, compared their contents, and returned the original one to the young man.
All she needed was the content recorded in the bone fragment; it didn't matter whether it was the original version or not.
The young man took the bone fragment and 50,000 spirit stones, and was very satisfied.
After the ancestor who was in the early stage of Yuanying returned from his travels in Ximing, he had always been very secretive about the dangers in the Ximing waters and warned his descendants not to go there rashly.
The book "Travels to the Western Sea" he wrote was also shelved.
The young man accidentally found this travelogue in the clan's study. He had originally just carried it with him, but he didn't expect that he could sell it for 50,000 spirit stones. It was quite a pleasant surprise.
Since the youth, several people have provided Xu Chunniang with some information about Ximing and Kunlun Mountain.
As long as she thought something was valuable, Xu Chunniang would spend spirit stones to make a deal.
But no one has been able to provide the specific route and nautical chart.
Although Xu Chunniang felt a little disappointed, she gained a lot today and the trip was worthwhile.
Just as she was about to put away the formation plate beside her, a voice suddenly fell into her ears.
"Fairy Miaofa, I have a sea map here that is related to Ximing, but the sea map only contains the Ximing part. I wonder if I can use it to exchange for the formation plate in your hand."
Xu Chunniang was somewhat interested and looked towards the person who had transmitted the message.
The person who conveyed the message to her was an old man. When he saw her looking at him, he nodded at her imperceptibly.
"How can I be sure that the map of the Western Sea in your hand is the one?"
"Fairy, rest assured, the sea map I showed you is definitely the Western Sea. The sea map covers half of the islands of Jukuzhou, and the sea area in the sea map in my hand is just in the northwest of Jukuzhou.
But in my opinion, the land west of Ximing may not be Kunlun Mountain. If the fairy wants to find the fairy mountain, it may not be that easy. "
Ximing is located in the northwest of Jukuzhou. So it seems that the sea chart in the old man's hand is very likely to be real.
Moreover, the old man said that Kunlun was not west of Ximing, which made her feel a little moved.
If the Dead Sea is Ximing, then west of Ximing is not the Kunlun Immortal Mountain at all, but her hometown, the Five Northwestern Sects.
Xu Chunniang pretended not to know and asked.
"Every cultivator in the Ten Continents knows that one can reach the legendary Kunlun Immortal Mountain by crossing the Western Sea. What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, Fairy, the sea map in my hand not only records the Ximing Sea, but also the mountains, rivers and plains to the west of Ximing.
Judging from its atmosphere, it is far from the legendary Kunlun Mountain. Perhaps the real Kunlun Mountain is as secluded as the Three Immortal Islands, and is difficult for ordinary people to see. "
Xu Chunniang nodded and said, "I want the sea chart in your hand."
The old man was overjoyed. He originally thought that if he told Fairy Miaofa that there was no Kunlun west of Ximing, she would lose interest in the sea map in his hand.
Unexpectedly, she agreed to the deal.
The old man's thoughts raced, could it be that in this crisis-ridden West Sea, there was some unknown and amazing opportunity hidden
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. If it weren't for a miraculous opportunity, why would the other party be willing to spend a huge price in exchange for the Ximing Sea Map
It seems that in the future, if he has the opportunity to be promoted to Yuanying Zhenjun, he may have to take some risks and travel to the Western Ming.
Xu Chunniang had no idea what the old man was thinking. After the transaction, she had a palm-sized tortoise shell in her hand.
The sea chart that the old man traded with him was hidden in a tortoise shell.
She immediately left the trade fair and went to the residence arranged by the Zhu family to check the sea chart in the tortoise shell.
The nautical chart is divided into three parts, of which the sea area accounts for 90%.
There are some dotted islands in the southeast corner, which should be the Juku Island mentioned by the old man.
The northwest corner, opposite to the southeast corner, is outlined with just a few strokes, showing mountains and plains.
Xu Chunniang's spiritual consciousness fell on the mountains and plains in the northwest corner, and she could hardly suppress the excitement in her heart.
Could this be the Five Sects of Northwest China
