The next morning, at the place Mu Guibai had set, Song Changsheng stared at the figure in front of him, looking a little dazed.
"Puff"
Zhuang Yuechan looked at his dumb look and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and said playfully, "Are you surprised to see me?"
"You... aren't you in seclusion?" Song Changsheng finally came to his senses. He had guessed who the candidate arranged by Mu Guibai was, but he never thought it was her.
"Retreating can't delay the business. Senior Martial Brother and the others have gone to conquer Demon Race, so naturally I am the only one going." Zhuang Yuechan said with a smile, putting his hands behind his back.
In fact, she didn't say one thing. She specifically fought for this opportunity from Mu Guibai. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Song Changsheng Although she didn't know the inside story, she was still very happy. Outsiders were different from her after all.
At this time, Zhuang Yuechan also caught a glimpse of Waist Token hanging on Song Changsheng's waist, and couldn't help but said, "I heard that Master accepted you as Registered Disciple?"
She had been in seclusion during this period, and she had only heard people talk about it.
"Thanks to the teacher's love, he accepted me as Disciples and gave me cave abode. Changsheng is grateful." Song Changsheng respects Mu Guibai from the bottom of his heart.
During this period of time, Mu Guibai has given him a lot of guidance, and many aspects of his practice that were originally unclear have suddenly become clear, which can at least save him a few years of detours.
Although he is Registered Disciple in name, his treatment has long been the same as that of a true disciple.
Zhuang Yuechan's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he deliberately said with a straight face, "In that case, then I am your senior sister. Come on, call me senior sister and listen."
In terms of age, Song Changsheng is actually one year older than her, but the sect's ranking only depends on the time of entry. Mu Guibai has not accepted a disciple for many years. Zhuang Yuechan has always been at the bottom. Now the bottom is Song Changsheng.
Seeing the hint of cunning in Zhuang Yuechan's eyes, Song Changsheng couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that she also had such a side. At this time, he would naturally not do anything to spoil the fun. He pretended to straighten his clothes, bowed his hands with a smile and said, "I have met my young senior sister!"
Zhuang Yuechan was a little unhappy. He pursed his red lips and said, "Senior sister is senior sister. Why do you need to add a small character? Where is the small word?"
Hearing this, Song Changsheng looked her up and down, and then said seriously, "They are all quite big, nothing is small."
Zhuang Yuechan didn't react at first, but after seeing Song Changsheng's eyes wandering up and down, he immediately came back to his senses, his face suddenly turned red, and he said coquettishly, "Where are you looking, that's not serious."
"Lady in front, no one can't help but want to take a few more glances. How come it's not serious?" As he said that, Song Changsheng glanced over again involuntarily.
Although she knew Song Changsheng did it on purpose, the fiery gaze still made her feel a little at a loss. She stamped her feet and said, "You are really out of character. I will ignore you."
After saying that, he seemed to be running away and left.
Zhuang Yuechan didn't stop until she reached the bottom of the mountain. She glanced back and saw that Song Changsheng hadn't followed. She was relieved but also a little disappointed.
Putting his hand on his chest, he found that his heart was beating very fast and it was extremely difficult to calm down.
"Why does my heart beat faster every time I'm alone with him?" Zhuang Yuechan frowned and thought to himself.
She couldn't remember when this phenomenon occurred. This feeling was something she had never felt before. She couldn't tell what it was, which made her a little confused.
"Sister, if we delay any longer, we will have to go to Meng Province with our swords."
Zhuang Yuechan's heart jumped suddenly. She was so absorbed in thinking just now that she didn't notice when Song Changsheng was approaching.
"Huh, if I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have boarded the ship a long time ago." Zhuang Yuechan rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.
After that, she didn't care what Song Changsheng said, she just kept her head on her way. She seemed really angry, but according to Song Changsheng's understanding of her, she was probably just thin-skinned and couldn't stand his jokes.
In order to avoid irritating her further, Song Changsheng temporarily stopped joking and followed her on his way.
The two came to the north of the city, which was originally an area of cave abode used for rental, but now it has been razed to the ground and replaced by a "port".
Two Flying Boats are moored here, like two giant beasts crawling on the ground, which makes people shocked at just one glance.
These Flying Boat are about three hundred feet long and dozens of feet high. They look like a peach core as a whole. They are made of rare spiritual wood and rare metal spiritual materials. The construction cost of each ship is an astronomical figure.
Inter-realm Flying Boat is different from the small Flying Boat that is usually used for transportation. There are two thick masts erected on the deck, and you can see the sails stacked together.
These sails are the key for Inter-realm Flying Boat to increase the sailing speed. They are independent Third-Tier Law Artifact. Their refining method is top secret, and you can't just find a piece of cloth and hang it up.
"Who said Cultivation World doesn't develop technology?" Looking at the small island-like Flying Boat, Song Changsheng couldn't help but murmur to himself.
It's so big, fast, and can fly, but the technology of Blue Star is far behind it.
"What is technology?" This was not the first time Zhuang Yuechan saw Inter-realm Flying Boat. He didn't feel anything at all. Hearing Song Changsheng's muttering, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Song Changsheng was horrified, and then realized that he actually said what was in his heart, and he quickly laughed and said, "Nothing, which ship are we going to take?"
Zhuang Yuechan did not doubt that he was there. Hearing this, he pointed to the round ship Flying Boat on the left and said, "That's the ship. It sets off at noon today. It only takes a month to reach Meng Province."
"It's noon, it's almost time. Let's board the ship first."
The two people boarded the ship along the wooden ladder that was lowered. Soon, a white-haired old man stood in front of them. He showed his Waist Token in a serious manner and said, "My name is Jiang Qing. I am the steward of this Flying Boat. I am responsible for the registration of personnel. Where are you going?"
Song Changsheng glanced at it and found the words "Wanlong Merchant Association" on Waist Token. He thought to himself, "They are indeed a giant chamber of commerce that spans several Cultivation Worlds. You can see them everywhere."
"Let's get off the ship at Meng Province." Zhuang Yuechan said lightly.
"Within Great Qi Cultivation World, there are one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per person." Jiang Qing took out a piece of Beast Skin paper and shook it. It recorded the expenses required to travel to different regions.
But the strange thing is that it takes one thousand Spirit Stone to get to Meng Province, and only nine hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones to get to the Gusu Kingdom, which borders Meng Province. And the country after the Gusu Kingdom once dropped to 500 yuan, and then gradually increased.
"Hey, is there something wrong with your pricing? Gusu Kingdom has a longer journey and only costs nine hundred Spirit Stone, and I only go to Xizhou. Why do you charge fifteen hundred Spirit Stone? Do you think we are big grievances?" A middle-aged monk behind Song Changsheng shouted dissatisfied.
Song Changsheng is also a little curious. Xizhou borders Meng Province, and the distance is shorter. Why is the price so much more expensive?
He did not believe that Wanlong Merchant Association was deliberately trying to rip them off. After all, it was a reputation accumulated over thousands of years. Even if there were differences in treatment, it would not be so obvious.
It was obviously not the first time that Jiang Qing had faced this kind of doubt. Hearing this, he said indifferently, "After Flying Boat is started, it takes a lot of time and energy to increase the speed to the extreme. Although the distance is short, Flying Boat needs to slow down and then speed up again, which consumes a lot of energy.
This is a waste of time and energy, so according to the original plan of the Chamber of Commerce, the first stop of the route should be Gusu Kingdom. It is an additional requirement of Great City Lord that you can disembark within Great Qi Cultivation World.
If you can accept to sit down but cannot accept to get off the boat now, there will be no bargaining. "
Jiang Qing spoke very rudely. The middle-aged monk's face turned blue and white when he heard this. He snorted and turned around to get off the boat. One thousand five hundred yuan was not a small amount of money for him.
After listening to the explanation, Song Changsheng also roughly understood the reason. Simply put, the longer the continuous sailing time, the faster the sailing speed increases and the less energy consumption, so the fares in the Gusu Kingdom and other places are cheaper.
However, the distance between Xizhou and Meng Province is not enough. As soon as the speed increases, it must slow down. Each increase and one decrease consumes energy.
This is just like the air conditioner in the previous life. Frequent switching on and off will not save power, but will increase power consumption.
So it's understandable that the ticket price is higher. Someone has to bear the loss, right? The wool comes from the sheep.
And with the size of the Wanlong Merchant Association, a mere few thousand Spirit Stone would not be able to attract their attention at all. This is more for Great City Lord's sake, otherwise Great Qi Cultivation World would not stop at all.
That's why the old man's attitude is so bad, he doesn't like to sit still.
Jiang Qing turned his attention to Song Changsheng and Human Dao: "Are you still sitting down?"
Song Changsheng rubbed his teeth, two thousand yuan for two people Spirit Stone, it was really not cheap, but there was no other way, we had to rush.
Just when he was about to draw blood this time, he suddenly thought that he still had a piece of VIP Token. It is said that any property owned by the Wanlong Merchant Association can be discounted at 30%. This should be okay, right?
Thinking of this, he took out his piece of Silver VIP Card.
Jiang Qing, who was still a little impatient at first, made a 180-degree turn in his attitude after seeing Waist Token. He quickly bowed and said, "It turns out it was Guest Elder in person. I made a small oversight. Please forgive me!"
The brand is still as useful as ever.
Song Changsheng quickly helped Jiang Qing up and said, "Recalculate, should we get a discount?"
Jiang Qing secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a sneer, "My lord, you are joking. Please come in."
Just kidding, the status of Silver VIP Card holder is equivalent to the elder Purple Mansion of the Chamber of Commerce. The fees are paid to the senior leaders of the Chamber of Commerce. Do you still want to get involved?
Seeing that he stopped mentioning Spirit Stone, Song Changsheng couldn't help but have a new understanding of this brand in his hand, which was not very surprising in style.
He glanced at the dazed Zhuang Yuechan next to him and said, "Then I..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qing immediately said with a smile on his face, "It is a small honor for you and your wife to come on the boat. Please come inside. We have prepared the best room for you."
He obviously misunderstood something, but Song Changsheng is not stupid enough to explain it. It is Spirit Stone at least a few hundred yuan. Besides, if it is not now, won't it be the same in the future?
He nodded slightly and said, "Please lead the way."
Jiang Qing carefully brought the two of them to a room on the top floor of Ship Cabin. The sign read Heavenly Character Number One.
"The place is simple, so please be considerate of me. If you need anything, just ring the bell on the table and someone will come to help you."
Having said that, the place is really not shabby. Although it has one bedroom and one living room, it is fully equipped with Guardian Formation and Spirit Gathering Formation methods. The furnishings are also extremely luxurious. Even the carpets are all made of white Fox Demon fur.
It's not much worse than the cave abode Mu Guibai gave him.
"Thank you for taking the trouble."
"This is my honor. I wonder if the elder would like to pay a visit to Town Guardian Elder of this ship. I can do it for you." Jiang Qing asked cautiously, bowing his body.
A Inter-realm Flying Boat, Town Guardian Elder is at least Purple Palace Cultivator.
Song Changsheng thought about it but refused. He was just taking a boat and there was no need to alarm the other party.
He didn't know that Jiang Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he said this. Isn't the reason why he was so arrogant and respectful because his previous attitude was not good and he was afraid that he would report it to Town Guardian Elder?
Since the other party has no intention of visiting, it proves that he doesn't take it to heart, and his job can be saved.
There is no way, everything in the Wanlong Merchant Association is based on identity. Although Song Changsheng is just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he has Silver VIP Card, that is Guest Elder, the existence he needs to look up to.
As for how the other party obtained his cultivation level, that was not within the scope of his consideration. It was just two boat tickets, and it was serious to keep his job.
"The little one retreated."
Watching Jiang Qing retreat, Song Changsheng suddenly felt the soft flesh on his waist being pinched by someone with such force that he felt a little pain.
Turning around, he saw white and tender fingers pinching his waist, rotating it 180 degrees with force, while its owner looked at him with a half-smile and said, "When did I become your wife, and when did you become Wanlong Merchant Association's Guest Elder?"
Song Changsheng said with a smile, "I didn't say anything either. He misunderstood. Why didn't you correct him just now?"
Hearing this Zhuang Yuechan couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "You think I'm stupid, a thousand yuan Spirit Stone."
"It turns out it's for Spirit Stone. I thought you acquiesced." Song Changsheng sighed and said in a "depressed" mood.
"You have a beautiful idea." Zhuang Yuechan's pretty face under the veil blushed slightly. I don't know why, but she seemed to have insufficient confidence to speak.
But when she saw Song Changsheng's joking smile, Zhuang Yuechan didn't know that she was being "teased" again. She felt so angry that she couldn't help but increase the strength of her hands. Seeing Song Changsheng's grinning look, she suddenly felt all the "bad energy" in her heart.
But she didn't realize that the relationship between the two seemed to be gradually surpassing a certain limit...
