"There's one more thing that you need to know." Fang Wanli spoke excitedly. He was willing to tell Lu Ye more because of the few pieces of spiritual jades.
"What is it?"
"Ordinary foreign cultivators who do not have a pass will have to pay a fee to enter the Island of Versatility. Of course, the fee is not much, only five pieces. Brother, you should be able to afford it."
"Five pieces is not a small amount." Lu Ye said calmly. Although he did not think it was a lot when he paid ten pieces of spiritual jades for the ferry, that was because he had a good family background. If it were a normal cultivator who had just entered the starry sky, one piece of spiritual jade would be enough. They would not be willing to use it to travel, and would most likely prefer to fly slowly to the Island of Versatility.
"The main reason is because there are too many cultivators coming to and from the Island of Versatility. If there were no restrictions, the Island of Versatility would be overcrowded. Charging five pieces of spiritual jades as a passage fee would greatly reduce the number of people entering the Island of Versatility. "
This was indeed the case. Everyone liked to go to crowded places, and the constellations were no exception. If there were no restrictions, then the cultivators who came here would most likely gather at the Island of Versatility. In the early stages of collecting entry fees, many people who did not need to go to the Island of Versatility would not go there.
"There are also some spiritual islands that are open to the public. They will also charge different amounts of spiritual jades. Brother, you need to find out more before you go. However, most of the spiritual islands are not open to the public. They are the private lands of different factions. Brother, you need to be careful. Do not enter rashly and be treated as an intruder."
"How do you differentiate them?" Lu Ye asked humbly.
"Brother, you can go to the Chamber of Commerce and buy a star map. These spiritual islands are marked on the map, but the colors of the words are different. If it is red, it is a private land that is not open to the public. If it is white, it is open to the public."
Only now did Lu Ye know that the colors of the words marked on the star map were very particular. When he checked the star map previously, he did find that the names of the spiritual islands were divided into white and red. However, he did not understand the mystery behind it.
There were a lot of cultivators traveling back and forth. Lu Ye discovered another interesting thing. "The flying altitude of your ferries is lower than the flying altitude of the cultivators?"
Fang Wanli hurriedly nodded his head: "Daoist brother's observation is very detailed, it is indeed so. Although there are no rules on the surface, everyone has been willing to abide by them for so many years. The main reason is that the speed of the ferry is too fast. If it is mixed with the crowd, it is very easy to collide with them. Daoist brother has also seen that there are many cultivators traveling in the sky above the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea.
"The ferries won't collide with each other? What about the planetary boats of other cultivators? "
"Both the Star Boat and the Star Boat have detection spell formations that allow them to sense each other's presence in advance.
Lu Ye nodded. This was similar to how a Star Boat could sense the obstacles ahead of it with the help of teleportation portals.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Ye noticed something else. Normally, the planetary boats driven by cultivators wouldn't fly directly over a spiritual island. Most of them would take a detour, probably to avoid any misunderstandings. However, the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce's ferry didn't seem to care about this at all. It didn't matter if it was a big island or a small one, they would just fly past it.
The spiritual islands on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea were of different sizes. Looking down from the sky, they were like chess pieces that adorned the surface of the sea.
This reminded Lu Ye of the Chess Sea. That was the first time he had worked together with Hua Ci. They had killed countless enemies. It was also that battle that made him realize that the medical cultivators of his clan were not simple.
After half a day, a huge spiritual island came into view. Along the way, Lu Ye had seen many large spiritual islands. However, none of them could be compared to the one in front of him.
In terms of size, this spiritual island was undoubtedly the overlord of the entire Ten Thousand Elephant Sea!
This was undoubtedly the Ten Thousand Elephant Island!
The buildings on the island were arranged in an orderly manner. At the center of the island stood a group of palaces. A huge pagoda-like building stood at the center of the island. With the pagoda as the source, the streets spread out in all directions in an orderly manner.
Fang Wanli steered the ferries to the edge of the spiritual island. He stopped at a place that looked like a ferry, and said to Lu Ye with a smile, "Brother, once you've arrived, you'll be able to fly freely after paying the entrance fee to enter the Ten Thousand Elephant Island. However, you're not allowed to fight on the island. Please remember this."
Lu Ye nodded his head slightly and took a step forward, arriving at the ferry.
There weren't too many experts guarding the port. There was only a white-haired old man who was lying on an armchair with his eyes closed. He seemed to be in a leisurely mood.
There was a table beside him. On the left side of the table, there were some Mystical Jades that were dazzling to the eyes. On the right side of the table, there were pitch-black badges.
There were a few people in front of Lu Ye, who had just arrived and were preparing to enter the Ten Thousand Elephant Island. They seemed to be a group.
One of the middle-aged men glanced at the old man and said, "Mr. Bai, I'll take it myself?"
Judging from his words, it was obvious that it was not his first time on the Ten Thousand Elephant Island, as he was very familiar with the place.
Mr. Bai, who was lying on the wooden armchair, did not even lift his eyelids. He waved his hand slightly, as if he was too lazy to entertain the man.
The middle-aged man took out twenty Mystical Jades and placed them on the table. He then took out four badges and distributed them to the people around him. He then brought his fists together toward Mr. Bai, and led his companions into the Ten Thousand Elephant Island. They flew into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After seeing this, Lu Ye followed suit and took out five Mystical Jades, exchanging them for a badge.
As he was about to enter the island, Mr. Bai suddenly opened his eyes slightly and glanced at him, before he calmly said, "The badge must be worn on your body. You are not allowed to store it in your storage ring or other storage space. It will be useless if you leave the island. You can leave the island from any direction, but you have to enter the island from the ferry!"
It was obvious that he knew it was Lu Ye's first time here, thus he decided to explain the rules to him. Lu Ye had already learned about it when he was chatting with Fang Wanli.
He brought his fists together as a sign of thanks for the advice, and set foot on the Ten Thousand Elephant Island.
He was not in a rush to leave, but turned around to observe the situation.
Behind him, more people arrived one after another, and took their badges. Mr. Bai still had his eyes closed, showing no interest in the matter. No one dared to take the five Mystical Jades as the entrance fee.
Lu Ye's eyes were filled with envy. Five Mystical Jades were not much in comparison. One could easily find five Mystical Jades in a suitable location in the Star Constellation.
However, if it was five Mystical Jades for one person, what about ten people, a hundred, or even ten thousand?
This tiny ferry is definitely a treasure trove filled with Mystical Jades!
Judging from the frequency of cultivators entering and leaving the island, this ferry would bring more than ten thousand Mystical Jades to the Ten Thousand Elephant Island every day, and there must be more than one ferry like this! There might even be ten or twenty of them.
However, no matter how envious he was, this was still a way for others to make money.
Lu Ye suddenly had an idea. If he could obtain a Mystical Island here, and then find a way to attract cultivators, turning his Mystical Island into a place where cultivators would come in and out, and then collect a certain amount of entrance fees, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune? This idea only lingered in his mind for a moment before disappearing. Not to mention how difficult it was to obtain a Mystical Island, even if he could obtain one, he might not be able to keep it. Even if he could keep it, what could he use to attract cultivators?
So many top domains had their own Mystical Islands here, they must have thought of this before.
After a while, Lu Ye walked towards the island.
After a while, he stood in the middle of an extremely spacious street, looking at the rows of shops on both sides, and suddenly had the illusion that he had returned to the Nine Regions.
In the Cloudy River Battlefield, the Tianji Cities were as lively as this. However, in terms of scale, the Tianji Cities could not be compared to this place. The value of the goods sold in the shops in the Cloudy River Battlefield could not be compared to the goods here.
The forces behind these shops included the domains of many galaxies. It could be said that any cultivator could buy goods from the entire galaxy here. They were not afraid of running out of goods, but they were afraid of not having enough spiritual jades.
Lu Ye had just arrived and wanted to broaden his horizons, so he casually entered a shop with the sign 'Wonderful Pill Shop'.
This was obviously a place that sold Mystical Pills.
Due to the limited resources of the Nine Regions, it was still difficult to refine Mystical Pills that were beneficial to the cultivation of constellations. However, this situation would gradually improve. When the Nine Regions could nurture higher quality spiritual flowers and herbs, they would naturally have the qualifications to refine the corresponding Mystical Pills. Of course, the alchemists of the Nine Regions first had to solve the problem of pill recipes.
The interior of the Wonderful Pill Shop was extremely spacious, and the interior decoration was also very neat and tidy. When Lu Ye entered, a young and beautiful lady was in charge of receiving him.
What surprised him was that this lady only had the cultivation of the Deity Sea Level!
He thought that the cultivators who came here were all above the constellation level. After all, the environment of the Wanxiang Sea was not suitable for cultivators below the constellation level.
There was no difference between this place and the galaxy. There was drifting energy of the galaxy everywhere. A cultivator of the Deity Sea Level was not strong enough to withstand such energy.
However, there was a Deity Sea Level here!
Lu Ye sensed for a moment and realized that there was no trace of the energy of the galaxy here.
He understood that this Island of Versatility must be covered by an extremely intricate array. Under the isolation of this intricate array, the energy of the galaxy could not invade the Island of Versatility. Therefore, it was able to allow living beings below the constellation level to survive here.
Thinking about it, this lady was only in charge of receiving customers and helping to sell the goods of the shop. If they really let the constellation level do this, it would be a waste of talent.
If they used the True Lake Level, it would not be enough. The Deity Sea Level was just right. One had to admit that the forces behind this shop were very considerate. They did not waste manpower and financial resources, nor did they make the customers feel belittled or have other unpleasant experiences.
The lady's attitude was very warm, and she introduced various types of Mystical Pills to Lu Ye …
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, Lu Ye walked out of the Wonderful Pill Shop. The lady saw him off attentively. Although Lu Ye did not buy any Mystical Pills, she had her own integrity and would not easily look down on any customer.
