Chapter 794: Nine Mountains Sea
In the empty room, Liu Changqing looked at Duan Chen with a worried expression, but he didn't know what the requirements of this immortal master he had never met were, and he didn't dare to sit down at will.
Seeing Liu Changqing so restrained, Duan Chen couldn't help but smile, and then said to him with a pleasant face: "Mr. Liu doesn't have to be so nervous, sit down and talk, I still have a lot of things here, I have to ask Mr. for advice." ”
When Liu Changqing heard this, he said "don't dare" in his mouth, looking sincerely afraid.
Seeing this, Duan Chen's brows furrowed slightly, so he no longer forced the other party to sit down and speak, and instead spoke:
"I've been living near Nine Mountains City before, and I'm quite unfamiliar with everything in the rest of the Nine Mountains Sea, so I wonder if Mr. Liu can tell me about the situation on Shattered Star Island and the nearby Kraken Clan's forces?"
When he said these words, Duan Chen's expression was extremely indifferent, as if he was a master outside the world who had not been deeply involved in the world.
When Liu Changqing heard this, he pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Since that's the case, let's start with Shattered Star Island." ”
After a slight pause, Liu Changqing continued: "Shattered Star Island is located on the southwest edge of the Jiushan Sea area, and there are three large islands nearby: Shattered Star, Falling Moon and Wangri, and of course, there are various other small and medium-sized islands. ”
"However, most of the people on these islands have moved to live on the three large islands, and only some of the immortal masters in charge of vigilance remain on the islands. ”
"In addition, on the three big islands of Shattered Star, Falling Moon and Wangri, there are also Yuanying masters sent by Jiushan Hai, plus the local immortal cultivation forces on the island to assist, so although there are often Kraken clans and sea beasts on the sea, as long as they stay on the three big islands, the safety is still quite guaranteed. ”
"And if you want to settle on the three large islands, you also need to pay a corresponding price, for example, the immortal master needs to hold a certain position on the island and cooperate in the defense when the Kraken clan attacks the island. ”
"Of course, if the immortal master is not willing to hold a position on the island and is not willing to take risks to fight the Kraken Clan, then he will have to pay a high fee, otherwise he will be expelled by the local forces on the island. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Changqing's eyes unabashedly revealed envy for immortal cultivators: "And mortals like us who can't cultivate either go out to sea to fish and collect all kinds of materials containing spiritual power, or they will serve as laborers on the island and participate in various island defense construction, otherwise they will not be allowed to stay on the island." ”
"What about the Kraken Clan?" Duan Chenlian asked.
When he was in the Southern Regions before, he had also collected information about the Nine Mountains and Seas, but those pieces of information were obviously outdated, so in order to better penetrate the Nine Mountains and Seas, he needed to collect more first-hand information.
This naturally also includes the intelligence of the Kraken clan forces in this sea area.
"Regarding the distribution of the power of the Kraken clan in this sea area, the small ones are not very clear, I only know that the Kraken clan will fan the sea beasts to attack the three major islands every once in a while, and each battle is very tragic. ”
"The little one was only lucky enough to see the Kraken Clan at that time, and the rest of the time, he naturally hid as far as he could. ”
As he spoke, Liu Changqing's face still showed a look of palpitation, obviously remembering the situation of the sea beast attacking the island vividly.
"I see. When Duan Chen heard this, his face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
But he also knew that it was no wonder that Liu Changqing was no wonder.
After all, Liu Changqing was just a mortal without the slightest mana, even if he knew some kung fu, it was estimated that he would not be able to exert much strength when the sea beast attacked the city, so it was not surprising that he did not know the power of the sea demon clan in this sea area.
"In fact, if the immortal master really wants to know the distribution of the power of the Kraken clan around here, he should go to the island to find a special shop to buy the relevant jade slips, I believe that the content inside will definitely satisfy the immortal master. Seeing the disappointment on Duan Chen's face, Liu Changqing couldn't help but speak.
"That's all there is to it. Duan Chen nodded, and then asked, "By the way, since Shattered Star Island is one of the three largest islands in this sea, there must be a teleportation array on the island, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Changqing couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, but as far as Xiao knows, this teleportation array is not something that anyone can open and use." ”
"Oh, why is that?" Duan Chen asked with a raised brow.
"Since the Immortal Master is from Nine Mountains City, he should also know that this sea area has been invaded by the Kraken Clan and Sea Beasts for many years. ”
Hearing this, Liu Changqing couldn't help but patiently explain: "Therefore, Jiushan Sea has already had a strict order, all islands with teleportation arrays, the teleportation arrays on the islands must be strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to use them without authorization, so as to prevent the Kraken Clan from attacking the inland with the help of teleportation arrays......"
After listening to Liu Changqing's explanation, Duan Chen knew that many years ago, there had been a situation where the Kraken Clan disguised itself as an Adult Race monk and attacked all the way inland with the help of the Outer Island Teleportation Array.
Since then, Jiushanhai has strengthened the management of the teleportation arrays on the islands, so let alone outsiders, even the disciples and elders of Jiushanhai need to strictly check their identities and show their intentions if they want to use the teleportation array.
And because of the strict control of the teleportation array on each island, many islands can only travel between each other by boat, and over time, many industries engaged in transportation have been born.
For example, there are merchant ships that specialize in transporting supplies, and merchant ships that specialize in escorting mortal monks to and from the major islands.
Under Liu Changqing's narration, Duan Chen gradually had a general understanding of the traffic in the sea area where Shattered Star Island was located.
However, at this time, there was still a doubt in his heart that had not been solved, that is, the weapons equipped with spiritual power fluctuations on the guards he had seen on the ship at the beginning, and he was very curious about these weapons.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Liu, I have shallow knowledge in the next generation, and I still have a question I want to ask you." ”
"There is something that the immortal master does not understand, but it doesn't matter, there is no need to be so polite, as long as the little one knows, he will definitely answer for the immortal master with all his heart. Liu Changqing hurriedly said respectfully, as if as long as Duan Chen was more polite to him, the more he felt panicked.
Seeing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but ask straight to the point: "I just saw that the guard warriors on the ship are equipped with a special weapon, which seems to be driven by spiritual power, I don't know how you mortals want to urge it?"
"Oh, sir, I'm talking about spiritual weapons. Liu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted with a smile:
"This spiritual weapon is a unique weapon of our Jiushanhai, it is said that it was developed by a master of Jiushanhai, only a small amount of spiritual stones need to be placed, and it can exert a good spiritual attack, which can be regarded as a guarantee for us to work at sea all year round. ”
"I see. After listening to Liu Changqing's explanation, Duan Chen finally solved a doubt in his heart, and immediately asked Liu Changqing some information about the spirit weapon before waving his hand to send him back.
Subsequently, Duan Chen lived a life on the ship, without leaving the door and without stepping out of the second door, giving people a sense of Gao Sen's unpredictability.
During this period, Liu Changqing, who was the leader of the guard warriors, occasionally came to greet Duan Chen, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time every time, and just briefly reported to Duan Chen the distance between the fishing boat and Shattered Star Island, and then retired with a respectful face.
In this way, after three days of peaceful sailing on the sea, the fishing boat finally arrived at Shattered Star Island amid the cheers of the crowd.
Later, under the guidance of Liu Changqing, Duan Chen came to a place on the island that specialized in the management of foreign immortal masters, went through the registration procedures for entering the island, and paid a large amount of spirit stones to enter the island.
The main reason is that Duan Chen does not intend to hold any position on the island, nor does he intend to wait for dispatch during the Kraken Clan's attack on the island, otherwise, with the identity of the Jindan monk he is now disguised, he does not need to pay any spirit stones at all.
However, for Duan Chen, a little spirit stone will be spent, and with his current status, he doesn't care about it, but Liu Changqing on the side looks even more heartbroken than him.
"I don't know where the immortal master plans to go next? It's not a small boast, everything on this Shattered Star Island, the little one doesn't dare to say that he knows everything, but most of the places the little ones have been there, if the fairy master wants to buy something or find somewhere, the little one may be able to help one or two. ”
It was rare to have the opportunity to meet a Jindan monk, Liu Changqing obviously couldn't just let Duan Chen leave, and immediately said eagerly.
However, Duan Chen didn't intend to let Liu Changqing follow him all the time, and after shaking his head slightly and saying take care, he didn't give him a chance to speak again, and his figure disappeared out of thin air in a flash, leaving Liu Changqing alone and sighing in place.
......
Shattered Star Island is worthy of being one of the three largest islands in the nearby sea, not only are there many mortals on the island, but there are also a lot of immortal cultivators, and the overall strength is not weak, at least the monks of the Jindan period are relatively common here, and occasionally one or two Yuanying monks can be seen.
However, Duan Chen's purpose in coming to this island was not to find out how powerful the immortal cultivation forces on the island were, but to gather more detailed information about this sea area.
Therefore, after finding out the general situation of the entire island through the Yuan Shen, he walked alone into a shop on the side of the road that specialized in selling books and jade slips.
Half an hour later, Duan Chen walked out of the shop with a few jade slips in his hand, and his face showed a hint of satisfaction.
Now in the few jade slips in his hand, the general situation of Jiushan Sea in the past thousand years is recorded.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the origin of the nine mountains and seas.
The so-called Nine Mountains and Seas originally referred to the nine spiritual mountains located in the coastal area of the Northern Continent.
It is said that the founding patriarch of the Nine Mountains and Seas was based on these nine spiritual mountains and founded the Nine Mountains and Seas, one of the top ten immortal sects.
However, the Nine Mountains and Seas themselves actually have two meanings, one meaning naturally refers to the Nine Mountains and Seas, one of the ten major immortal sects, and the other meaning refers to the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Nine Mountains and Seas, which is also named the Nine Mountains and Seas.
It can also be seen from this that the dominance of Jiushanhai in this sea area.
After all, it's not a sect, and they can name an area after their own name.
