Xu Chunniang looked away and said in a calm voice.
“Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself. You are only in the middle stage of foundation building, and you don’t even have the ability to protect yourself in this sea.
If I were you, I would only focus on cultivation, and hope you take care of yourself."
After hearing these words, Sun Muyun felt his face burning. It turned out... she really saw through his thoughts!
But cultivation is easier said than done; it is not easy without resources.
He is not like her, with a good family background and strong financial resources.
Sun Muyun felt helpless and was unwilling to give up.
But since Fairy Xu had said so much, even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to pester her again.
He stood there for a long time before he made up his mind. It seemed that he could only settle for the next best thing.
Xu Chunniang naturally wouldn't care about Sun Muyun's choice.
She walked down the deck and immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
Some people even whispered to each other, guessing her identity.
"I can't tell the level of this woman's cultivation, but it seems she is at least in the middle stage of the Golden Core. She hasn't shown up in more than a month, could she be from the Sun family?"
"I know all the Sun family cultivators on this ship. She is not a member of the Sun family, and her cultivation level is not the middle stage of the Golden Core, but the seventh stage of the Golden Core."
"The seventh level of the Golden Core is actually so high. Isn't it a loss for her to stay indoors for more than a month?"
"Maybe he had reached a critical stage in his cultivation. Anyway, he is a late Jindan cultivator and is worth winning over."
A big bearded man reacted the fastest and clasped his fists towards Xu Chunniang.
"Fairy, you are polite. There are two late Jindan cultivators and three middle Jindan cultivators in my team. I wonder if you are willing to join my team?"
The bearded man was very confident that the team he established was the strongest among all the teams, and the weakest one had the cultivation level of the fourth level of Golden Core.
If we can get this girl into the team, we'll have more confidence.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the bearded man and shook her head.
"Sorry, I have no plans to join the team for now."
The bearded man's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that he would be rejected.
Seeing this, the other people felt relieved and started to invite Xu Chunniang to join their team.
Some even gave up the captaincy.
"Fairy, there are only two mid-stage Jindan cultivators in our team. As long as you join, I am willing to hand over the position of captain to you."
Xu Chunniang rejected them one by one, using the same reason as before.
The others were confused and disappointed. Did she intend to stay on the boat and not go out hunting by not joining any team
Considering that this woman has been staying in her room for more than a month, perhaps her purpose of going out to sea was not to hunt.
Thinking of this, the others withdrew their gazes and attention and no longer paid attention to her.
Xu Chunniang didn't care and just kept an eye on the sea around her.
The sea was calm and peaceful, a deep blue that reflected the clouds in the sky and looked non-threatening.
But she knew that this was only a temporary peace.
Half an hour later, more than thirty Jindan cultivators finally formed teams, forming a total of five teams.
The strongest among them was the team formed by the bearded man.
After being rejected by Xu Chunniang, he invited another cultivator in the late Jindan stage to join.
Seeing that everyone had formed a team, the Sun family cultivator finally showed up.
"My fellow Taoists, please be aware that our Sun family's ship will stay here for three months. After three months, regardless of whether you are on board or not, we will sail the ship back."
Naturally, everyone had no objection to this. The storm would only weaken for a few months, and if they couldn't get back in time, they might even lose their lives.
After the Sun family cultivator finished talking about the time to go back, he said again.
"All the necessary supplies are available on our Sun family's ships. You can also trade the sea monsters you hunt with our Sun family. I wish you all a triumphant return."
After saying hello to the Sun family cultivators, the other Jindan cultivators went out to sea one after another.
Xu Chunniang's spiritual sense swept across the surrounding sea area, but she seemed to be thinking about something.
There are several months of sea voyages every year, and the Sun family stopped the ship here, presumably because they had mastered the sea charts nearby.
The Ximing Sea map that she had bought before had some changes, perhaps because of its age.
Thinking of this, she asked the Sun family cultivator without hesitation.
"Do you have any sea charts of this area for sale?"
The Sun family cultivator looked back at her and said in surprise.
"So it's Fairy Xu. It doesn't matter if you don't have a sea chart. It will be enough as long as there is one person in the team who has one."
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "I don't have a team."
Upon hearing this, the Sun family cultivator couldn't help but look at her strangely.
He knew that Fairy Xu was quite powerful, but as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. No matter how strong she was, could she defeat an entire team
In his opinion, it was unwise to go out to sea alone.
But since the other party has made his choice, he naturally wouldn't say anything to spoil the mood.
“I have two kinds of sea charts. One is a sea chart of the nearby sea area, which includes the route back to the island. The price is one top-grade spirit stone.
The second one includes all the sea routes of the entire Sun family. It is much larger in scope and the price is ten times more expensive.
Both of these charts mark some places where you might encounter danger. Which one do you want, fairy?"
Xu Chunniang naturally chose a more comprehensive nautical chart. With the nautical chart provided by the Sun family, she could compare it with the Ximing nautical chart she had bought before.
Two-phase verification can find a safer route.
The Sun family cultivator took the spirit stone, took out a bone fragment from the storage space and handed it to her.
"Fairy, when you go out to sea alone, remember to stay away from the dangerous places marked on the sea chart, and you must return within three months."
Xu Chunniang nodded, took the bone fragment, scanned it with her spiritual sense, and memorized the sea chart in her mind.
There are indeed some differences between these two nautical charts.
But overall, the nautical chart she had obtained earlier was quite accurate.
She pondered for a moment, then chose a direction and flew away.
Since this trip is specifically to test my own strength, I naturally have to choose the strongest opponent!
In the Western Sea, there live all kinds of sea monsters, with different shapes and magical powers, and some are strong and some are weak.
The most powerful one around here is the famous Gu Diao.
Gu Diao looks like a withered eagle, with wings on its back and two horns on its head. It is good at thunder magic.
In addition, its pair of sharp claws can destroy gold and split rocks, and it moves very quickly. Once a monk encounters it, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Moreover, Gudai live in groups, and there are usually at least three or five of them in one cave.
Three or five Gu Diao launched an attack at the same time, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, they were able to tear a physical cultivator in the early stage of Jindan into pieces.
You can imagine how sharp their claws are.
Xu Chunniang flew towards the nearest Gu Diao cave with a fighting spirit in her eyes. She would then take a look at the Gu Diao to see its progress over the past six months!
