After the introductions, Ning Cheng came to know that the old man was called Tao Xiumao, while the young man was called Tao Yuan. Both father and son were very enthusiastic, not only did they give Ning Cheng medicine, but they also invited Ning Cheng to sit in their beast carriage.
After Ning Cheng got on the carriage, the driver was replaced by the young Tao Yuan.
Inside the beast carriage, Ning Cheng was still using his Cultivation Technique to heal himself. The Tao father and son were both ordinary people. They had never cultivated before, so they were completely unaware of the fluctuations of the surrounding Spirit Qi.
Ning Cheng had closed his eyes to rest, as such Tao Xiumao also tactfully did not look for Ning Cheng to speak.
Two hours later, Ning Cheng felt that his injuries had gradually eased up, while at the same time slowly began to improve, only then did he calm down.
As his injuries improved, Ning Cheng also opened his eyes and politely asked, "Uncle Tao, I heard people say that there is a cultivator army in the Yi Xing Ocean, and that these cultivator armies recruit soldiers, is that true?"
Tao Xiumao nodded his head and replied, "That's right, the biggest recruitment station is the Xi Hai City that you mentioned before. There is also a cultivator army stationed in the Tai Wan Sea Town, and our Clear Light Stones are actually made for the cultivator army. We will sell these Clear Light Stones to merchants, who will then send these things to the cultivator army. "
Ning Cheng came to understand, the cultivator army had to fight in the Yi Xing Ocean all year round, as such they had to arrange a variety of Illuminating Array Formations, as such what they needed the most was the Clear Light Stones.
Tao Xiumao on seeing Ning Cheng suddenly understood, hesitated for a moment and spoke, "If you do not have a good place to go, then you can come with us to dig out the Clear Light Stones. He would make a few trips a year, and each trip would earn him one or two hundred gold coins. It's just that it's a little dangerous, and we'll occasionally encounter bandits along the way. "
"Thank you, Uncle Tao. I still want to join the caravan. When I get to the Tai Wan Sea Town, I will see if I have the opportunity to join some caravans to go out to sea. That way, we might be able to earn more. "
Listening to Ning Cheng's words, Tao Xiumao gave a dark sigh in his heart, but did not try to persuade him. He knew the danger of traveling with the caravan. It was countless times more dangerous than selling the illumination stones with him. Ning Cheng and him were neither relatives nor friends, he was just a passerby, as such he could not persuade him.
The beast carriage didn't move very fast, but it wasn't slow either. The father and son of the Tao Family took turns driving the carriage. They only ate some ordinary dry rations along the way.
Four days later, the beast carriage entered a bustling town. There were all kinds of people dressed up outside the town, and most of them had a travel-worn aura. Most of them were adventurers who were dressed rather valiantly and some ordinary cultivators. There were also many people who drove beast carriages like the Tao father and son.
A fishy smell came from the sea, Ning Cheng knew that he should be close to the Yi Xing Ocean. Although his injuries were recovering slowly, but he was still close to the strength of the True Condensation Realm. The cultivators he saw here all had low cultivation levels, so he didn't need to worry.
"Brother Xiao Cheng, this is already the Tai Wan Sea Town. My father and I are going to sell these Illumination Stones. If you want to find a merchant group, you can come with us. There are many caravans in the Chamber of Commerce, and these caravans collect a variety of things, moreover these caravans also often recruit some manpower. "Tao Yuan was a dull person, but after becoming familiar with Ning Cheng, he became very enthusiastic.
"Then many thanks Brother Tao." Ning Cheng quickly thanked him, while simultaneously taking out 20 gold coins and handing it to Tao Xiumao.
It was not that he did not want to come up with more gold coins, but he was now an ordinary person, even his cultivation level was concealed, moreover he still had to look for a merchant group to make a fortune. Once he came up with more gold coins, it would only make people doubt him.
Tao Xiumao was not willing to accept Ning Cheng's gold coins, and said that his beast carriage was only used to transport goods, and to bring Ning Cheng to the Tai Wan Sea Town was just along the way. If he accepted the gold coins, then it would really be too unkind.
Ning Cheng could only put away the gold coins, and followed the Tao father and son along the long street of the Tai Wan Sea Town towards the place where the caravans gathered.
The beast carriage did not walk for long, before it stopped in front of a tall gatehouse. Tao Xiumao took out a wooden sign, and respectfully handed it to a guard at the gate. The guard looked at the wooden sign, and returned the wooden sign to Tao Xiumao, and then waved his hand at Tao Xiumao.
Tao Xiumao dared to pull the beast carriage into the tall gatehouse, and Ning Cheng also followed the beast carriage inside.
After entering the gatehouse, Tao Xiumao pointed to a row of tall and magnificent buildings in front of him and said to Ning Cheng, "Little Brother Ning, that is where the major caravans of the Tai Wan Sea Town are stationed. If you want to find a caravan to join, then you can go in and try your luck. I want to take my son to hand over the Clear Light Stones. "
Ning Cheng had already seen the big sign in front of him, which had the words' Tai Wan Chamber of Commerce 'written on it, he quickly thanked the Tao father and son, and then bid farewell to the Tao father and son, and entered the Tai Wan Chamber of Commerce.
… …
The Tai Wan Chamber of Commerce was not a single one, but rather the entire Tai Wan Sea Town's Chamber of Commerce. After entering inside, Ning Cheng even had a kind of feeling as if he had entered a certain business hall in the later generations of Earth.
There were a variety of names of caravans here, and at the place where each caravan was stationed, there was a sign erected. In front of some of the caravans, there were even some introductions and notices of recruitment.
Ning Cheng looked all the way, and found that none of the caravans were going to the Hua Continent, and almost all of them were going to a place called Pu Bu Island.
Ning Cheng called out to a man who was also looking at the notice, and politely cupped his fists and asked, "Friend, I want to join a relatively large caravan, but how come none of the caravans here are going to the Hua Continent?"
"Do you want to go to the Hua Continent?" The man stared at Ning Cheng in shock and asked.
Ning Cheng quickly said, "No, I just want to join a relatively large caravan, I do not know which caravan is big, but I heard that in the Yi Xing Ocean, there are some big caravans that can even cross continents. I think that the ones that can cross continents are definitely the big caravans. "
The man listened to Ning Cheng's explanation, and laughed and said, "The Tai Wan Sea Town's caravans are all going to the Pu Bu Island, only the caravans from the Pu Bu Island and the Xi Hai City can go to the Hua Continent. You should have just arrived in the Tai Wan Sea Town, right? "
"Yes, yes, I just arrived here, I have a bit of strength, I originally wanted to go to the Xi Hai City to join the cultivator army, but I did not think that the Xi Hai City was too far away, so I had to come to the Tai Wan Sea Town." Ning Cheng quickly replied.
"Are you a cultivator?" When the man heard that Ning Cheng was a cultivator, he immediately showed a respectful expression.
Ning Cheng immediately said, "I can't be regarded as a cultivator, my cultivation is very low, only at the Qi Gathering Realm."
He had heard that Ning Cheng was only a Qi Gathering Cultivator, moreover speaking in such a kind manner, he estimated that he was only at the Qi Gathering 1st or 2nd Level. The man secretly sighed, and said, "Even an Early Stage Qi Gathering Cultivator can join the cultivator army. In fact, apart from the Xi Hai City, the Pu Bu Island also needs to recruit cultivators. Many of the Qi Gathering Cultivators, join the caravans to go to the Pu Bu Island, and then join the cultivator army. "
"That would be great, I will first go to the Pu Bu Island to try my luck, if it really doesn't work, then I will simply join the caravans." Ning Cheng said with a happy expression.
He was very disappointed in his heart, if there was a caravan that could go directly to the Hua Continent, then it would be the best for him.
After thanking the man, Ning Cheng casually looked for a caravan called Flying Sea and walked in. He saw from the notice outside the Flying Sea Caravan, that this caravan would leave the Tai Wan Sea Town tomorrow, and go to the Pu Bu Island.
Since the caravans here could not go directly to the Hua Continent, then he casually looked for one, there was no difference.
The Flying Sea Caravan's station here was not very big, and there was only a woman sitting inside. This woman looked like she was in her twenties, and had a trace of the smell of the sea on her body, with just a glance one could tell that she was a person who walked in the sea all year round.
She was sitting on a wooden chair and seemed to be in a daze, after Ning Cheng came in, he did not know if she was not aware of it, or if she was aware of it, but simply did not care about it, and was still thinking about her own matters.
This was a woman with good facial features, and was not ugly to look at. But what made Ning Cheng surprised, was that she unexpectedly had the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level.
Originally Ning Cheng thought that these caravans were just ordinary people walking around. But he did not expect that when he walked into the first caravan, he would see a True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator.
"Excuse me … …" Ning Cheng had just spoken two words, when this True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator turned around and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want?"
"I heard that the Flying Sea Caravan is lacking in manpower, I came to apply for … …"
This time Ning Cheng was still not able to finish his words, when he was once again interrupted. But this time the one who interrupted Ning Cheng was not this True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator, but a middle aged man. This middle aged man hurriedly ran in, and bowed to the woman and said, "Esteemed Zhuang, the ship has arrived."
Hearing that the ship had arrived, the woman stood up and said, "Since the ship has arrived, then let's set off tonight."
"Yes, yes … …" Although this middle aged man said yes, but his face showed some embarrassment.
The woman surnamed Zhuang said in a light voice, "I know that you still want to recruit people, but now it is too late. There is a crew member who came to apply for the job, let's take him with us. If there are any losses caused by the lack of manpower, then I, Zhuang Ya, will bear it alone. "
"I dare not, I dare not … …" The middle aged man finished, and quickly bowed to let the woman called Zhuang Ya go out first.
After the woman walked far away, the middle aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to observe Ning Cheng, after a while he asked, "Do you want to join the Flying Sea Caravan? What is your name? "
"I am called Ning Xiao Cheng, I heard that the Flying Sea Caravan wanted to recruit crew members, so I hurried over." Ning Cheng immediately replied.
The middle aged man nodded and asked, "How is your strength?"
Ning Cheng quickly made a muscle movement and said, "I am definitely a strong man, in our village, many little girls like me because of my great strength."
The middle aged man laughed at Ning Cheng's words and said, "Well, then it is you. My name is Shen You, from now on you can call me Deacon Shen. Temporary crew members with the Flying Sea Caravan will be paid 1000 gold coins for each trip, this remuneration will be paid 10% first, 30% will be paid when we arrive at the Pu Bu Island, and the rest will be settled when we arrive at the Tai Wan Sea Town. "
"That's fine." Ning Cheng replied without hesitation, he did not think that it would be so easy for him to find a caravan heading to the Pu Bu Island. As for him not coming back, he would not be able to receive the 1000 gold coins, which was completely ignored by Ning Cheng.
