The spheres of influence of the four islands are marked with a line, just like the national border line in the secular world.
The spheres of influence of the four islands are not closely adjacent. There are a large number of blank areas outside the spheres of influence of the four islands. These sea areas are called high seas.
In the inland sea, the area covered by the four islands is less than one percent, and most of the other areas belong to the high seas.
Since the high seas do not belong to any sphere of influence, the high seas are also an area infested by demon thieves. As long as you leave the sphere of influence of the four islands, you may encounter demon thieves at any time.
Therefore, monks who travel between Tianri Island, Tianxing Island, Tianyue Island and Tianchen Island usually travel together to resist the demon thieves who may appear at any time.
There is a special organization on the four islands that provides team formation services, called the Xingshang Alliance.
Qin Yang put away the map and came to the Tianxing Merchant Alliance located in the southwest of Tianxing City. This three-story building suspended in the air was surrounded by clouds and mist, and it looked quite fairy-like.
In front of the gate of the Tianxing Merchant Alliance, monks come and go from time to time, all of them are innate-stage monks.
After Qin Yang entered the lobby on the first floor of the Tianxing Merchant Alliance, a girl in a white dress immediately came forward and said to Qin Yang: "Master Immortal, are you going to travel far?"
The tone of the girl in the white skirt is extremely soft and her words are clear. She has obviously received special training.
Qin Yang glanced at the girl and said nothing.
The girl in white clothes quickly explained: "I am a maid from the Hongshang Alliance who specializes in receiving monks who are above the Golden Core stage."
Qin Yang looked up and down at the girl in the white dress in surprise. This girl was obviously a mortal, how could she know that she was a golden elixir-level monk.
The girl smiled gently and said: "Master Immortal, there is no need to be confused. Our Merchant Alliance was established by the Tianxing Palace. We can use a magic weapon to receive the information from the jade plaque brought by the gentleman. Therefore, we only need to know what kind of cultivation you have.
You can tell by the color change on the device.”
As the girl spoke, she took out a thumb-sized bead, which now turned golden.
After listening to the girl's explanation, Qin Yang nodded and said to the girl in the white skirt: "I want to go to Tianchen City."
The girl in the white dress immediately said to Qin Yang: "Master Immortal, please come with me."
Qin Yang followed the girl in the white dress into a large room on the second floor. This room was very elegantly decorated, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants inside, which looked very comfortable.
In the room, there was a middle-aged man in green robes, also a mortal, sitting behind a table and writing something with a pen. When he saw Qin Yang, he immediately smiled, stood up and said to Qin Yang: "Master Immortal
Please take a seat."
After Qin Yang sat down in front of him, the girl in the white dress immediately brought a bowl of fragrant tea and placed it in front of Qin Yang, then stood beside Qin Yang with her hands lowered.
The middle-aged man in green robe glanced at Qin Yang and said politely: "This is the first time for the Immortal Master to come to our Tianxing Trading Alliance. If it is the first time, please allow me to introduce our services. If the Immortal Master is interested in our business,
If you know something about the service, then I won’t talk too much.”
Qin Yang said: "Please introduce me."
The middle-aged man in green robe smiled professionally and said to Qin Yang: "For the immortal masters who want to go outside the sphere of influence of Tianxing Island, we provide two group formation methods for you to choose from. One group formation method is a team composed of monks above the innate stage.
, we will ensure that each team has at least five monks at the golden elixir stage or above. This kind of team is purely for the purpose of reaching the destination and is very fast; in this way of group formation, monks at the golden elixir stage or above do not need to pay any fees.
New monks will have to pay a certain fee."
After a well-trained pause, the middle-aged man in green robe continued: "The second type of group has a certain task of protecting merchants and is responsible for transporting merchants' goods. This kind of group has at least ten Jindan monks and twenty
The above innate-stage monks who join this team must listen to the dispatches and arrangements of the monks sent by the Tianxing Merchant Alliance. By joining this kind of team, monks at the Golden Core stage and above can get a certain amount of remuneration. The specific amount of the reward is for those in the early Golden Core stage.
One hundred spiritual stones, one hundred and fifty spiritual stones in the middle stage, two hundred spiritual stones in the later stage, and three hundred spiritual stones in the beginning of Dzogchen.”
After listening to the introduction by the middle-aged man in green robe, Qin Yang didn't want to get involved with his mother-in-law's business protection tasks, so he said without hesitation: "Then I will choose the first option."
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Okay, you can register first. Once this group has recruited enough people, we will notify you immediately."
Qin Yang asked: "How long will it take?"
The middle-aged man said: "You are the only Golden Elixir monk in this group now. If we want to form a group, it will take about half a year."
Qin Yang said with a slightly angry expression: "Half a year? Why does it take so long? Don't you think this kind of group is the fastest?"
The middle-aged man quickly explained: "I mean that after leaving Tianxing City, we arrived at Tianchen City very quickly, and did not include the waiting time in Tianchen City. In fact, the first method of group formation is very difficult to form.
City merit, because most Jindan monks will choose the second way to form a group with the task of protecting merchants. Firstly, they can earn some spiritual stones, and secondly, there are more people, which is relatively safer."
After the middle-aged man's explanation, Qin Yang also understood, so he said to the middle-aged man: "Then if I choose to protect the merchants and form a group, how long will it take to leave?"
The middle-aged man said: "There is now a business protection team in Tianchen City with seven people. If nothing else happens, the team will be successfully formed within ten days, and then you can leave."
Qin Yang thought for a moment and said to the middle-aged man: "Then I'd better choose the second way to form a group."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Then let's register. Please show me your residence permit or temporary residence permit."
After registering, Qin Yang was still led by white clothes to the hall. The hall was full of innate monks, and they were reading the announcements around the hall.
Then he was sent out of the Tianxing Business Alliance, and the service was extremely considerate.
After coming out of the Tianxing Trading Alliance, Qin Yang went to the streets and plunged into the major businesses.
After buying a lot of things on the first day, Qin Yang plunged into various shops early the next morning, buying some rare goods while chatting with the shopkeepers.
Anyway, we still have to stay in Tianxing City for a few days, so it would be good to learn more about the situation.
After some chatting, Qin Yang also had a general understanding of the governance system of the Sea of Disillusionment. The four islands in the Sea of Disillusionment all implemented a system of using the palace to manage the city and the city to manage the island.
The highest governing body within the sphere of influence of Tianxing Island is Tianxing Palace. The topmost palace building on the huge rock on Tianxing Island is where Tianxing Palace is located.
The supreme ruler of Tianxing Palace is the palace owner. The current palace owner of Tianxing Palace is called Li Zu. He is a monk in the late Yuan Ying period and rarely shows up. Most residents of Tianxing City do not know that the supreme ruler of Tianxing City is Chang.
What does it look like.
Under the palace lord are the deputy palace lords, and under the deputy palace lord are the protectors and elders.
Tianxing Palace directly controls Tianxing City, and Tianxing City controls nine large islands in the surrounding three thousand miles of sea. The nine large islands control thousands of middle islands and small islands.
Tianri Island, Tianyue Island, and Tianchen Island also implement this system.
Although the four islands appear to be in peace and have interactions with each other, they are secretly wary of each other.
Moreover, every hundred years or so, there would be a relatively big friction between the four islands. After a scuffle, they would get back on good terms again.
The governance system of the four islands, the distribution of power, etc., were just Qin Yang's occasional work while searching for the medicinal materials and weapon refining materials he needed.
He came to the Sea of Disillusionment not to fight a battle with the entire Sea of Disillusionment. The purpose of his coming here was to kill Wu Heng. What he focused on was the situation on the Vampire Island where Wu Heng was located.
After several days of inquiring, he got some information about the Vampire Sect.
The Vampire Sect has a great reputation and is one of the seven demon sects in the Fantasy Sea. The Vampire Sect was originally controlled by the vampire ancestor. After the vampire ancestor mysteriously disappeared nearly a hundred years ago, the vampire sect fell to Wu Heng.
On the head of the father's Wujia, the Wujia condensed into Nascent Soul more than a hundred years ago, and the blood-ghost-demon fire skills all over his body are extremely strange.
In addition to being in charge of the Vampire Sect, he also served as the protector of the Tianchen Sect and was very powerful in Tianchen Palace.
As for Wu Heng, he is an alchemy-forming man with a blood demon skill that is hard to match among monks of the same level. He has not been seen in recent decades. Many people speculate that he is in seclusion to attack the bottleneck and step up his efforts to condense the Nascent Soul.
.
Qin Yang knew very well what Wu Heng had done during those years of so-called seclusion. He was not practicing in seclusion in the Sea of Disillusionment, but he went to Yunluo Kingdom to refine the souls of Confucian scholars and condense them into Nascent Soul.
What Qin Yang could find out about the Vampire Sect and Wu Heng was limited to this. He estimated that he would have to find out more detailed information about the Vampire Sect, and he might not be able to do so until he arrived at Tianchen City.
Anyway, he will leave for Tianchen City in a few days. After Qin Yang understood some basic information, he focused on purchasing medicines and materials for refining weapons.
After a few days of shopping on Tianxing Island, Qin Yang's addiction to shopping became more and more intense, and he became more and more excited as he went shopping.
He had never seen many things in Tianxing City before, and many materials that could not be bought in Jade Mirror City were easily found here.
After buying a bunch of things out of control, Qin Yang couldn't help but laugh a little. It seemed that he really had some collecting habits.
His focus now is on looking for the second type of things, the second type of things he urgently needs.
There are two things that Qin Yang urgently needs right now. One is medicinal materials for refining the Xuanyuan-level Qi-Condensing Pill or the Earth Spirit-level Qi-Condensing Pill.
The pill Qin Yang is taking now is Xuanling-level Qi Condensing Pill.
If he finds all the medicinal materials to refine a Xuanyuan-level Qi Condensing Pill, his cultivation speed can be doubled.
Based on Qin Yang's current cultivation speed after taking the Xuanling-level elixir, he expected that it would take at least ten years before he could reach the late stage of the Golden elixir.
And if he can refine the Xuanyuan level Qi Condensing Pill, this time can be greatly shortened. It will only take him about five years to reach the late stage of the Golden Pill.
If he were to refine the Earth Spirit Level Qi Condensation Pill, it would only take him about three years to reach the late stage of the Golden Pill.
Given Qin Yang's current situation, it is unrealistic to spare a lot of time to practice in seclusion. If he doesn't think about the elixir, it may not be a matter of more than ten years for him to reach the late stage of the golden elixir.
Therefore, it is completely normal for Qin Yang to want to refine some more advanced elixirs.
