Fengle Island is a very large island located just between the southwest sea and Tianxing City.
This is an isolated island. Apart from the main island, the nearby sea is empty and there are no other islands.
However, Fengle Island itself has a huge island area, and the island is a gathering of spiritual veins, making it a rare treasure. Therefore, there are a large number of monks and mortals living here.
Fengle Island has a unique geographical location and is the hub connecting the west, south, and Tianxing City. Therefore, it has extremely superior business conditions, and the headquarters of Fengle Merchant Alliance is established here.
Because of the Fengle Merchant Alliance, the business atmosphere here is extremely strong, and all walks of life are naturally extremely prosperous. Although it is not as good as Tianxing City, it is definitely much better than Akabane Island.
On this day, in the sky several miles away from Fengle Island, a green flying boat suddenly flew over. Just a moment later, it had arrived near the island.
"We're finally here." Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh while looking at the huge island in front of him with no end in sight.
Starting from Xiaohuandao, it took a full twenty days to finally arrive here. Thanks to Xiao Jin's extraordinary talent, not only did he fly extremely fast, he didn't even need to rest during the journey, so he was able to spend such a short time.
Of course, in order to avoid being too ostentatious, he had already put away the small gold in the sea dozens of miles away from here and replaced it with the Qingzhou magic weapon again.
"The customs here are really different from those in Tiannan." Han Li on the side also looked down, with a look of shock in his eyes. The pier was densely packed with countless ships and mortals of all kinds, and auras of light flashed constantly in the mid-air. Immortal cultivators flew in and out without any scruples, but they did not cause any surprise to the mortals below. It's completely customary.
"There are frequent natural disasters in the Chaos Star Sea, and there are countless monsters and beasts. The living environment is extremely difficult. Without the constant protection of the immortal cultivators, mortals would not be able to survive." Mo Juren explained, and at the same time, Look carefully towards the dock.
The management of a large island like Fengle Island is naturally relatively strict. Like Akaban Island, for foreign monks who want to enter the island, their identity information must be simply registered.
Soon, Mo Juren found his target. In an area not far from the pier, a tall three-story stone building stood tall, which was particularly special among the low-rise bungalows around it.
Mo Juren did not hesitate, and immediately started the green boat again, flying directly in the direction of the stone building at high speed, and landed in the open space in front of him in the blink of an eye.
They were not the only monks who came here to register. At this time, there were people coming and going at the door on the first floor of the stone building, and monks were constantly coming in and out.
Putting the green boat away, the two of them walked straight towards the gate of the stone building.
The hall on the first floor is very large, but at this time, most of it has been occupied by monks who came to register information.
Seeing this scene, Mo Juren couldn't help but be a little surprised. He had to wait in line in the crowd with Han Li until nearly a quarter of an hour passed before it was finally his turn.
"Is this your first time here? Are you planning to stay for a long time or just for a short stay?" The deacon was an old man with a cultivation level in the early stage of foundation building. He glanced at the two of them and found that they were actually two monks in the middle stage of foundation building. Their attitude was slightly rude. A little warmer. As for the refining corpse behind the two of them, they only glanced at it briefly and stopped paying attention.
"What can you say?" Mo Juren seemed not to notice the change in the other party's expression and asked directly.
"Permanent residents need to deliver six hundred spirit stones at one time. Those who stay temporarily only need three spirit stones, but they can only stay for seven days." As he spoke, the other party pointed to somewhere aside, where a number of spiritual stones were placed. There were many small tokens, divided into black and white, and then he said,
"Information will be displayed on the token. The black token is a certificate for permanent residents, and the information will not disappear, while the white token is for short-term visitors. The information can only last for seven days. Once it disappears, you must leave the island. Or register again here.”
"We are only staying temporarily." Mo Juren had no time to waste here, so he took out six low-level spiritual stones and handed them over directly.
The old man glanced at the two people again, then took out two white tokens, asked them some simple information, and recorded it on the tokens.
After a while, he handed over the registered token and said: "The white token does not need to be identified, so there is a possibility of losing it. Please remember to keep it safe. As for the corpse refining, naturally it is not needed." "
"Thank you." After replying, the two of them stopped staying and walked out of the hall.
…
Looking at Fengle Island from the outside, I just think it is very big. There is not much else to describe it. The moment you actually enter the island, you really feel the difference here.
Business is so prosperous that pedestrians are constantly flowing on the street, shoulder to shoulder, and there are countless stone houses of different heights and types on both sides.
This is only the outer area, filled with ordinary people's shops, and the customers entering and exiting the shops are all ordinary people. But in the sky, spiritual light was flickering continuously, and countless monks' weapons were flying, all converging towards a certain location in the center of the island.
Looking up into the distance, at the end of the sight, in an area about dozens of miles away, a huge city with a radius of more than a hundred miles came into view. The outside was shrouded in aura, which was obviously a restriction formed by the formation.
"Is this the first time for these three adults to come to Fengle City?" But at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears, but it was a middle-aged man wearing a blue gown.
Mo Juren turned his head and looked at the other person. There was no mana fluctuation on him, he was just a mortal. However, this person was very discerning and could tell the identity of the three newcomers at a glance.
"Did you just say Fengle City?"
"That's right, that's the huge city ahead, where all the immortal masters in Fengle Island trade." The middle-aged man nodded and continued,
"The younger one's name is Liu Qi. He is a native resident of this island. He is very familiar with the entire island, including Fengle City. The three immortal masters are new here, so naturally they don't know much about this place. If they hire the younger one as a guide, they will definitely understand Save a lot of effort..."
"How much does it cost?"
"Two spiritual stones are enough." Hearing that the other party did not refuse, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, and she quickly replied respectfully.
"Okay." Mo Juren didn't bother to bargain with the other party. With a wave of his arm, the green boat emerged and entered it together with Han Li.
"Lie to Kangxi"
"You come up too."
"Thank you, Master Immortal." Liu Qi bowed respectfully again, and then got on the green boat with some trepidation. A ray of green light then appeared, and in the next moment, it flew straight towards the giant city ahead.
"Tell me about the situation in Fengle City, mainly about the large stores that sell monster materials. Which one has the best reputation?" Mo Juren glanced at Liu Qi on the green boat and asked immediately.
"Master Immortal, please..." Upon hearing the inquiry, Liu Qi naturally did not dare to hesitate at all, and quickly began to tell,
"Fengle City has a total of thirty-six main streets, and each main street is attached to dozens or hundreds of side streets, which together form the entire huge city...
There are too many shops that sell monster and monster materials. Basically, there are similar ones in all the side streets.
However, if we say that the one with the strongest strength and best reputation is still Fengle Building, it is a store directly affiliated to Fengle Merchant Alliance. In addition to the main store in the most central area of the city, there are also stores at different locations on every main street. Has one branch.
Not only monster materials, but also all products related to the cultivation of immortal masters are available in Fengle Tower.
However, the main store mainly conducts large-scale auctions and does not specifically receive individual customers. Therefore, if Master Xian simply purchases goods, he can only go to various branches.
Another point is that compared to other stores, the prices of goods in Fenglelou are slightly higher. If you don’t buy a lot, it’s not cost-effective to go there. Master Immortal can also choose Tianxuan Pavilion, Bafang Palace, etc., which are also large-scale shops..."
As Liu Qi slowly narrated, Mo Juren gradually gained a general understanding of Fengle City, and even discovered some deeper secrets in just a few words.
Even though this city is just a large city mainly focused on commerce, the strength behind it is terrifying. Not to mention the mysterious Fengle Merchant Alliance, there is a Fengle Palace built in this city alone, where Nascent Soul Stage monks are stationed all year round.
Mo Juren subconsciously glanced at Han Li, who was also a little surprised next to him. He was worthy of being one of the four major merchant alliances. Such strength was no less than that of some of the major immortal cultivating sects in Tiannan.
Qingzhou's speed was very fast, and he had already reached an edge area outside Fengle City as he spoke.
But at this moment, an invisible force emerged out of thin air. Both the flying boat and itself suddenly stagnated, and then became extremely heavy.
Mo Juren knew that this was caused by the large formation outside Fengle City. However, being able to produce such great power at such a long distance shows how powerful the air restriction it has deployed is.
After flying to the ground, Mo Juren put away the green boat and headed towards the huge city gate at the end of his sight under the guidance of Liu Qi.
There are guards stationed at the city gate, and anyone who wants to enter the city must have a token to prove their identity.
What surprised Mo Juren was that Liu Qi actually showed a gray token. After asking, I learned that all mortals born and raised on this island will have the right to live here permanently from birth. However, in order to distinguish them from monks, a gray token will be issued.
After crossing the city gate, three people and one corpse finally entered the city.
At this time, Mo Juren truly saw the true appearance of this huge city. A wide and straight street, which could be seen from a distance with a clear eye, was dozens of miles long. There are even taller buildings on both sides of the street, far beyond the low stone houses of ordinary people outside.
Although the number of pedestrians in the streets is not as dense as outside the city, it is still quite large. Moreover, 99% of them are immortal cultivators. Some are on foot and some are riding animal carts.
However, what surprised him the most was that there were many jet-black flying boats in the mid-air, flying overhead from time to time.
You know, there are air restrictions here, how can these flying boats do it?
"This is the No. 1 main street, and the end leads directly to Fengle Square in the center. The street will branch out into two side streets at regular intervals, extending left and right, connected to the adjacent main street..." While walking, Liu Qi While introducing from time to time, I suddenly noticed his expression and quickly explained,
"That is a unique floating boat in Fengle City, which is not subject to restrictions. Because this place is too big and cannot fly, so if Master Immortal wants to go around, it is best to rent this boat in the city. Of course, it also costs a certain amount of money. The cost per day ranges from thirty to fifty spirit stones..."
"As expected of a city founded by merchants, they are really trying every possible means to extract wool from the monks. Isn't this unnecessary?" The corner of Mo Juren's mouth twitched.
"Where are those beast carts?"
"This one is cheaper. It only takes one to three spirit stones and can be used for a day." Liu Qi replied again.
"Sure enough, I want money!" Mo Juren was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked again,
"How do I return it after renting it? Does it have to be the renter himself?"
"Yes." Liu Qi was stunned for a moment and then added,
"Don't worry, Master Immortal, just use my token. I will return it to you when the time comes."
"No need." Mo Juren refused directly, and then threw his token and three spiritual stones to the other party, indicating to the other party to rent a high-end beast cart. Judging from the observations just now, its speed is already very fast, which is completely sufficient. Moreover, it is also more low-key than its floating boat.
The other party insisted on this, and Liu Qi did not dare to object, and then turned and walked towards a special shop not far away dedicated to renting transportation tools. He was obviously very familiar with this matter, and it didn't take long for him to come back with a dark beast cart.
The strange thing is that the front of the car is empty and there is no driver.
"Well, I happen to be good at this, so I can drive this car myself. In this way, I can also save a spirit stone. I hope the immortal master won't blame me." Liu Qi obviously knew that there was something wrong with what he did, and his expression was full of perturbed.
"You are quite good at taking advantage of loopholes." Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion or anger at all. However, he was too lazy to worry about these trivial matters with a mortal, as long as he didn't delay his own affairs.
Without hesitation, he, Han Li and Lian Zhi entered the carriage one after another.
The space inside is not small, and seven or eight people can sit there without feeling crowded. Mo Juren found a seat by the window and sat down, then ordered:
"Go directly to Fenglelou branch."
"Okay... okay." Liu Qi was already a little worried, but she didn't dare to hesitate after hearing the other party's instructions, and quickly sat in the front of the car.
The monster that pulls the cart is a first-level monster called a black wildebeest. Except for having a black sharp horn on its forehead and stronger endurance and speed, its other temperaments are almost the same as those of ordinary horses. .
Therefore, even ordinary people can easily control it as long as they master certain skills.
It was obviously not Liu Qi's first time driving this car. He held the reins with both hands very skillfully, and then suddenly shook, and a strange soft drink burst out from his mouth at the same time. When the black wildebeest heard this sound, it immediately started moving as if it was a conditioned reflex, pulling the cart and running towards the front of the street.
The total length of No. 1 Main Street is more than 40 miles, and the Fenglelou branch is just over 10 miles away from the Central Square.
According to Liu Qi, the location of the Fenglelou branch in other main streets is not fixed, and some are even located near the city gate.
He didn't know why this was the case, and even many people who came to Fengle City were a little confused. Because some branches are located in extremely deserted areas, even business will be affected.
However, even if the business is not good, Fengle Building would choose to set up a branch here, which is really confusing.
Mo Juren had some guesses that the location of these shops must have some other more important role. As for business, it comes second.
After all, the main store of Fengle Building in the center is the big one. According to Liu Qi, there is basically a small auction every day, a medium-sized auction every month, a large-scale auction every quarter, and a large-scale auction every year. Extra large.
As for the latter two, they are already involved in forming pills and Nascent Soul stage monks, so the amount of spiritual stones they earn should not be too many.
The speed of the beast cart was very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the location of the Fengle Building branch. Looking through the window, a huge building with a height of nine floors stood on the side of the street.
"You wait here, we'll come as soon as we go." After getting off the beast cart, Mo Juren didn't waste any time. He greeted Han Li and walked straight to the door of the building with him.
Perhaps because of the branch, the interior of Fengle Building is not as luxurious as I imagined. On the contrary, its decoration pattern is somewhat rough and simple.
However, the area of the first-floor hall is really large, like a giant square. Even though there are a lot of monks coming to shop, it still looks very spacious.
Entering the hall, looking up, I found that there were booths and counters of different sizes everywhere, on which were unabashedly placed magic weapons, magic talismans, elixirs and other things commonly used by immortal cultivators. There were so many of them. It’s dizzying.
Mo Juren glanced at all the counters and then stopped paying attention.
Through Liu Qi's introduction, we learned that the hall on the first floor was a comprehensive market specially opened for monks in the Qi Refining Stage, and there was basically nothing good about it. Of course, there are also some people who like gold mining and will still hang out here.
He walked through the crowd and headed straight for the stairs. Before he went upstairs, a young man walked towards him. He was in the qi training stage. Judging from his clothes, he was dressed like a deacon in the store.
"I have met three distinguished guests. If you need anything, can I introduce them to you?"
"Purchase some monster materials." Mo Juren didn't hide anything and replied directly.
"That's it." The man nodded and immediately began to introduce,
"The first floor of this building is the free trading area. The second and third floors are also for Qi-training monks. The fourth to sixth floors are responsible for foundation-building monks like the two seniors. It's not just monster materials, magic weapons, elixirs, etc. You can buy medicine and everything else.”
"The quantity I want may be larger. Can you satisfy it here?" Mo Juren asked tentatively.
"Senior is joking. The Chaotic Star Sea may lack other things, but it will definitely not lack monster materials. I, the senior of Fengle Tower, should know a thing or two. I am not boasting about Haikou. As long as it is below level five, it will be more or less good. How much. And there will be no shortage of those above level five."
