Chapter 13 Buying the Spirit Boat
After half a quarter of an hour, a bustling town appeared in sight.

The city gates on both sides are open, and there are no monks on duty.

Chen Ping had been to Baiye Town several times before, and now he used his spiritual power to avoid the mortal area and directly entered the inner city.

"Lingzhou Tianbao Pavilion, hehe, what a big tone."

Staring at the carved beams and paintings in front of him, the magnificent attic plaque, Chen Ping's expressionless eyes flashed.

Tianbao Pavilion is the largest shop of the Xue family, and it is also the only place on Baiye Island where spirit boats are allowed to be sold.

"Senior, you need to buy something."

As soon as he entered the attic, a childish Taoist boy greeted him and said cautiously.

Chen Ping's expression was dull, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Lingzhou."

"Okay, senior, please follow me into the inner hall."

Dao Tong smiled and said excitedly.

Even the price of the lowest-level spirit boat can easily exceed a thousand.

If the order is successfully completed, he can at least get three or five spirit stones as a reward.

Chen Ping was expressionless, and followed Xiao Daotong into the inner hall.

Once inside, Chen Ping was taken aback for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

The inner hall is big enough to accommodate hundreds of people without feeling crowded.

Spirit boats of different styles are placed in exquisite counters made of jade.

There is also a group of beautiful female servants who are explaining to several monks who look like guests.

"what!"

Looking around, in a corner to the east, Chen Ping saw two acquaintances.

One of the burly men was Chen Xintong who met when he landed on the island.

Another fat-headed monk dressed in brocade nodded and bowed to accompany him.

While talking and laughing, the fat on his face trembled, as if it would fall to the ground in the next moment.

This obese monk, Chen Ping, also knew him.

His surname is Xue and his name is Wen, and he is one of Xue Yun's ten uncles with the best qualifications in Lingen.

Therefore, Xue Zhengkong, the patriarch of the Xue family, favored him very much, even the most profitable Tianbao Pavilion was entrusted to him.

"Well, my uncle specifically instructed that we must see the real thing before the end of the next year!"

Chen Xintong said as he walked.

Hearing him mention Chen Xingchao, the fat monk straightened his chest and said with a serious face: "Brother Chen, please rest assured, I, Xue Wen, will never let the third elder down!"

"Well, that's the best! I'm going back to the boat first."

There were more and more guests in the inner hall, and Chen Xintong didn't want to stay longer.

Xue Wen rolled his eyes, and said in an almost flattering tone: "It's still very early before the departure time, Brother Chen, why don't you go to the backyard to have a meal and drink some spiritual wine before leaving?"

"A few days ago, the people below sent over a few red-eyed bone fish weighing ten catties. I have never been willing to eat it, brother. I just waited for Brother Chen to come over!"

"Oh? I just happened to be greedy too, so I'll bother Brother Xue."

Chen Xintong nodded with a smile, and his eyes stopped for a moment on an exquisite maid.

Xue Wen immediately understood, and squinted at the maid, who immediately greeted Chen Xintong with a blessing, and ran out shyly with small steps.

"Haha, brother Xue, see you later!"

Chen Xintong clapped his palms and laughed loudly, chasing after the beautiful maid.

"Third Elder Chen Xingchao? What deal did he make with Tianbao Pavilion that he must ask the Xue family to deliver it before the end of the second year?"

Relying on his strong spiritual sense, Chen Ping unscrupulously eavesdropped on the conversation between the two until Chen Xintong left before he withdrew his divine sense.

After Chen Xintong left, Xiaodaotong, who led Chen Ping, ran towards him quickly, and whispered something in Xue Wen's ear.

After a while, Xue Wen waved Dao Tong to back down.

With a big belly, he said in an elegant and gentle way: "I don't know the name of your friend, where did you come from?"

"My surname is Lu and my name is Yu, a casual cultivator."

Chen Ping replied flatly, but he used the name from his previous life.

"Xue Wen is the boss here."

Xue Wen said earnestly: "Fellow Daoist Lu intends to buy a spirit boat?"

Chen Ping was not too polite with him, and simply said: "Yes, a small spirit boat that can carry seven or eight people will do."

"Fellow Daoist Lu is right, my small spirit boat on Baiye Island is famous far and wide."

There was a hint of complacency in Xue Wen's words, and he walked to a counter and quickly patted the cover a few times.

Then the huge counter disassembled and closed, and a gray-white spiritual boat about three feet long and two feet high was completely presented in front of my eyes.

"This spirit boat is entirely made of a hundred-year-old white-leaf tree trunk, with a built-in first-level swimming formation. It only needs to insert ten low-grade spirit stones each time, and it can sail for eight hundred miles."

Xue Wen introduced it in detail.

Chen Ping touched the hull of the boat and asked, "Master Xue, how long will it take for this swimming pool to recover after running once?"

There are two key factors that distinguish a good spirit boat from a bad one.

One is the main material, which is simple and clear, no need to say more.

Second, it is the core of the array that promotes the navigation of the spirit boat.

Generally speaking, the core of the formation can be activated with spirit stones.

The higher the core of the formation, the more spirit stones are used.

Correspondingly, the recovery speed of the formation will be greatly improved.

For example, the third- and fourth-level water-defense formations embedded on medium and large battleships, as long as there are enough spirit stones, the core of the formation can always be kept active, and it can travel uninterruptedly in the sea.

"It will take at least three days for the swimming array to return to normal!"

Xue Wen stretched out three fingers and said, "If Fellow Daoist Lu thinks the waiting time is too long, you can look at other spirit boats."

He said in his mouth, pointing to another counter, a slightly larger spirit boat as a whole, said: "This spirit boat can continuously control the water for thousands of miles, and the core of the formation can be reactivated within two days. Of course, every time you need Fellow Daoist embeds a 15 yuan low-grade spirit stone."

"I wonder if this boat is strong?"

Chen Ping's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice.

Navigation in the sea is dangerous.

If it hits a hidden reef or the spirit boat falls apart due to the attack of monsters, it will be like crying without tears.

After hearing this, Xue Wen drew out a huge ax and slashed at the spirit boat.

"呲呲"

The shadow of the ax swung down heavily, but there was no trace of damage left on the hull of the boat.

"The white leaf tree is extremely hard, let alone a hundred-year-old. My huge ax is a high-grade magic weapon, and it is extremely sharp. Can you rest assured in this test?"

Xue Wen patted his big belly, and said leisurely: "The small spirit boat can probably withstand three full-power attacks from ordinary top-grade magic weapons or monster beasts in the late stage of the first order.

"If Fellow Daoist is still not satisfied, then consider a medium-sized spirit boat! As for the price, it will naturally be several times more expensive."

Scratching his chin, Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Just this one, how many spirit stones?"

The farthest he can reach Yunquan Island is when he goes to the Meng family sea area.

There are about [-] miles of sea route left, and the small spirit boat is enough for a round trip.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lu is a straightforward person."

Xue Wen said with a smile: "One thousand and six hundred spirit stones, fellow daoists, don't bargain. I will give you an additional map of the sea area, which includes detailed information on the nearby [-]-mile sea area."

"This sea area map was drawn by my Xue family after decades and at the expense of many people's lives. It is absolutely impossible to buy in the market."

"is it?"

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Ping showed a hint of satisfaction, and said, "The shopkeeper Xue's family has a great career, why don't you give Lu some more Zhichun Road Talismans?"

"Haha, no problem!"

Xue Wen waved his hands grandly, but sneered contemptuously in his heart.

He thought that Chen Ping would raise some additional conditions.

Just a few first-level talismans, just give him away!

After ordering [-] spirit stones to Xue Wen, Chen Ping put the spirit boat into the storage bag.

"Tsk tsk, Baifang storage bag. This guy has a lot of money. He should have lied before. Such a rich casual cultivator is not common."

Xue Wen remained calm, secretly guessing about Chen Ping's origin.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, here are the map of the sea area and the ten road signs to purification, please keep them."

Xue Wen's storage bag is hidden in the sleeve.

He rummaged for a while, and finally threw a jade slip and a stack of light blue talismans to Chen Ping.

This is the first-level talisman, the path talisman to purification.

After being activated, it can condense a large amount of earth attribute spiritual power in an instant, disperse the sea water and form a road under the feet, within three miles it is like walking on flat ground.

Of course, it can only be used in shallow seas near land.

The real inland sea is tens of thousands of miles deep, let alone the first-level talisman, even the fifth-level and sixth-level talisman cannot be filled.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Xue."

Chen Ping bowed his hands in return.

These ten Purification Road Talismans are worth one hundred spirit stones, it seems that Xue Wen is not someone who will compare pennies and pennies.

As for the sea area map that he exaggerated, Chen Ping didn't pay attention, and threw it into a corner of the storage bag.

How could the strength of the Chen family be comparable to that of the Xue family!

How could Chen Ping not have a map of the sea area that his Xue family could make!

"Fellow Daoist Lu, walk slowly. If the spirit boat is damaged in the future, it can be brought back to Tianbao Pavilion for repair."

Before leaving, Xue Wen did not forget to mention it enthusiastically.

Chen Ping didn't respond, he drove back and disappeared within a few moments.

Gently stroking the jade finger worn between the belly of his thumb, Xue Wen was silent for a long time, with a sudden sinister look on his face.

……

This is a luxuriously decorated room.

Xue Wen is entertaining Chen Xintong, and the boxy pear blossom wooden table is full of delicacies.

Among the dozens of various dishes, the pot of red-eyed bone fish on the exquisite porcelain plate in the center of the table is the most conspicuous.

After this dish was served, the whole room was filled with an intoxicating aroma.

The fish in the basin was emerald color, but the eyes of the fish were blood red, like a pair of pure fire jade.

The red-eyed bonefish itself is a first-order monster.

The meat is firm and smooth, has an excellent taste, and is rich in spiritual power, so it is very popular among monks.

"Brother Chen, the essence of this fish is contained in this pair of red eyes. Although the taste is bitter, it is a natural tonic!"

Xue Wen rolled up his sleeves and said flatteringly.

Chen Xintong enjoyed the fish eyes and put them in his mouth, and said intoxicatedly: "Brother Xue, you are comfortable, good wine and good meat every day, and a group of beautiful girls waits around. Unlike Chen, who has to accompany the boat, the wind Blow the rain."

Xue Wen smiled "hehe" and said flatteringly: "Little brother, I just eat and wait to die, and brother Chen has a great future, maybe next time we meet, brother Chen will already be a master of foundation building! Don't forget to take care of me when the time comes." Brother!"

Chen Xintong drank the spirit wine, put down his chopsticks comfortably, and smiled without saying a word.

Since their uncle Chen Xingchao advanced to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, their lineage's voice in the family has risen sharply, and they have a faint tendency to surpass the great elder Chen Xiangwen.

But the uncle had no children, Chen Xintong picked up a big bargain, and he was one of the most direct beneficiaries.

Right now, Uncle is approaching the bottleneck of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

As long as he breaks through smoothly, he will be able to keep pace with the Great Elder immediately.

At that time, the much-anticipated Foundation Establishment Pellet will no longer change!

When Chen Tong gets older, he might be able to covet the position of the next patriarch.

As Chen Xintong thought about it like this, his heart surged even more violently, and the smile at the corner of his eyes almost turned into reality.
