Chapter 682
Seeing that the two elders were noncommittal, Wang Chenggu continued: "The farthest to the south is the Zhongsha area, which is also a group of islands, but the number is much smaller, so the Zhongsha area is not as good as the Dongsha area in this respect. However, it is said that the Zhongsha area is only a transit area, and further south, there are broader continents and higher-level immortals. However, these news are hearsay from villains and have never been so far, I don't know whether it's true or false. "
A broader continent? A higher-level immortal? Qingyang couldn't help but be fascinated and said for a long time: "how far is this Zhongsha area from Ziyan city?"
Wangcheng ancient road: "Zhongsha area is about seven million miles away from Ziyan city. The spirit ship needs to sail for seven years, and the distance is not very close. If you just want to avoid your enemies, you don't have to go so far. There are still many islands suitable for monks along the way. Basically, there are monks' lives. Monsters don't dare to harass easily. Let alone hundreds of thousands of miles near Ziyan city There are many in the area. It's easy to choose what's satisfactory. "
Wang Chenggu also saw that the two elders were easy to talk, so he said a few words more. However, Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan have decided to leave Kyushu mainland, so naturally they will not choose to live in seclusion near Ziyan city. Those islands are sparsely populated and lack resources. They simply can't support the cultivation of high-level monks. Without cultivation resources, can't they be pirates like seducing the soul and making sang fan?
Qingyang hesitated for a long time and said, "elder martial sister Xiao, I've decided to go to Zhongsha region."
Xiao Yuhan nodded and said, "I also think this middle sand area can go. Younger martial brother Qingyang, I'm afraid we'll continue to walk together."
Qingyang doesn't have any opinion about this. Whether he likes Xiao Yuhan's character or not, they are still familiar with each other. At least compared with those friars who have never dealt with, Qingyang believes Xiao Yuhan more. Besides, they must take the same spirit ship to Zhongsha region. Whether he wants it or not, they will travel together.
Qingyang didn't bother about this problem anymore. He took out several miscellaneous pills from huxiaobei and hongshenghe and gave them to Wang Chenggu. These things are useless to Qingyang. It's troublesome to put them on his body and deal with them. However, for low-level monks like Wang Chenggu, they are rare and good things. Wang Chenggu was overjoyed. The elder was really happy It's too generous. I just asked a few words and gave so many things.
It was not easy for Wang Chenggu to suppress the excitement in his heart. He quickly put things in his arms, and then looked up at Qingyang. He knew that Qingyang must have explained.
At this time, Qingyang explained: "you don't have to follow these two days. Go and help us find out where the spirit ship from Ziyan city to Zhongsha region stops, when the latest trip starts, and what the price is. When you have the news, you come to inform us at the first time. Just now, even if these are your errand fees for these days, there are rewards when things are done."
Although he didn't come and take a closer look at the things that Qingyang gave Wang Chenggu just now, he can roughly judge that they are almost worth a half spirit stone. This is his income for several months in the past, but senior Qingyang gave them casually. He also said that this is only the running expenses in recent days. When things are done well, there are rewards. It's really developed.
It is said that money can make ghosts push the mill, and the reward of Qingyang is in place. Wang Chenggu is also energetic to do things. He repeatedly promised to deliver the news within three days, so he left the inn.
Of course, Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan could not completely believe Wang Chenggu's words. In the next two days, they also went outside to inquire about the relevant situation. After two days of visit, they found that Wang Chenggu was telling the truth and didn't play any tricks in front of them.
On the third day, Wang Chenggu sent the news back on time. The spirit ship from Ziyan city to Zhongsha region was organized by a firm called wantongge. There were not many spirit ships on this route. There were four spirit ships on both sides, on average, only once every four years.
Recently, a spirit ship has just come back. According to the Convention, it usually needs to be repaired for a year. However, recently, the rise of blood demon sect and the upheaval in Kyushu mainland have left more monks, so the people on the ship have almost booked. As long as the people are full, the spirit ship will start in advance.
In other words, if they can't catch up this time, the next trip will be at least four years later. Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan don't want to stay more in Ziyan City, so when they get the news, they follow Wang Chenggu to the Wantong pavilion to book the spirit boat.
Ziyan city is very big, and the shops of Wantong pavilion are located in another urban area. Wang Chenggu took Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan for nearly two hours to get there. Wantong Pavilion does not belong to a local firm. They mainly do people and goods transportation. In addition to transporting monks, they will also bring some goods in short supply in the two places and directly wholesale them to local firms to earn some profits.
For this reason, the shops in Wantong pavilion are relatively remote, and there are not many people who come and go. The person in charge of the reception here in Wantong Pavilion is called supervisor Zhao. He is an old man in the middle of foundation construction. He has a kind attitude and a smiling face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. At first glance, he is used to doing business.
All the spirit ships in Wantong pavilion are priced clearly. There is no need to bargain. Each person has 350 spirit stones. This spirit stone is not a large amount for the foundation building friars. Even some Qi refining friars can accept it. After a chat, Qingyang and Xiao Yuhan respectively paid the spirit stone to steward Zhao and got two brands, which can be regarded as booking the position of the spirit ship.
There seem to be a lot of 350 spirit stones. In fact, it is not much compared with the seven years that the spirit ship has been walking on the sea, because the spirit ship also needs to consume the spirit stones. The huge spirit ship is driven by the true yuan of the friars. Therefore, the spirit ship is equipped with a spirit stone driving device, which provides energy by the spirit stones, and the friars only need to assist nearby.
The spirit ship needs at least ten spirit stones to sail a day, which is more than 3000 a year. The salaries of the ship's principal, steward and crew almost need so many temporary in a year, that is to say, in seven years, the cost of a spirit ship alone is more than 50000 spirit stones.
Fifty thousand spirit stones need at least 140 people to earn back, and the position on a ship is only 200. In fact, Wantong Pavilion doesn't earn much. This time, because of the upheaval in mainland Kyushu, there were more monks going out. In the past, when it was time to ship, they didn't have enough 100 or so guests. They mostly relied on the profits from carrying goods to and from to make up for their losses.
