Unless one had a custom-made Planetary Boat, the ones bought on the Island of Versatility were basically all standard Planetary Boats. In other words, they were not unique, but there were many identical ones.
Lu Ye's Planetary Boat was not the cheapest one, but it was definitely not expensive compared to other Planetary Boats that cost hundreds to hundreds of thousands.
In terms of size and performance, it was not as good as the silver fish.
It was only after coming to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea that Lu Ye realized how valuable the gift from Su Yuqing was. If he sold the silver fish, it would definitely be worth more than a hundred thousand spirit jades. It was a pity that he was short-sighted and did not realize it in time.
Leica Island was a place where the various powers of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, as well as individual groups, would recruit people.
It was also an important way for most constellations to make a living here.
The Ten Thousand Elephant Sea was filled with opportunities. There were ways to become rich overnight, and there were also ways to slowly accumulate wealth. Once a cultivator arrived at this place, as long as they could endure hardships, they would not have to worry about not being able to earn Spiritual Jades. Of course, how much they could earn depended on their own abilities.
The Solitary Fish Period was over, and he did not know how long it would last. Although there was still a lot of fuel left in the Talent Tree, it was not enough to support Lu Ye to cultivate in the Island of Versatility for a long time. Therefore, he had to find a way to earn spiritual jades. At the very least, he had to satisfy his monthly consumption for cultivation.
He had heard Pu Ke mention Zhaolei Island many times, but he had been too busy fishing to visit it.
Riding the Planetary Boat and following the guidance of the star chart, he arrived at Zhaolei Island in less than half a day.
Looking from afar, he could see that the island was bustling with activity. Numerous cultivators were entering and exiting the Spiritual Island like carps crossing the river.
Zhaolei Island was a deserted island that was not occupied by any forces. Anyone could enter and leave freely.
When he arrived near the Spiritual Island, Lu Ye kept his Planetary Boat and looked around in the air for a while before entering the island in a flash.
Although this was an ungoverned land and there was no overall plan, and the number of cultivators entering and exiting was huge, it was not messy. Instead, there was a sense of order.
There were rows of jade boards on the whole Zhaolai Island. The jade boards should be the materials used by spiritual tattooists for practice. They were not expensive and could be found easily. One spiritual jade could buy a large piece.
Every single jade board had words written on it, and the cultivators that came and went only had to glance at it to know which power was recruiting people, and the requirements and conditions were clearly written on it. If they were able to satisfy the requirements, then they would be able to contact the owner of the jade board and discuss it with them.
Some of the jade boards had cultivators waiting beside them. They were either sitting or standing. Presumably, they were the ones who posted the recruitment notice.
There were also some jade boards that had no one beside them, but there were notes left behind. Those who were interested could use the notes to contact the employer and discuss in detail.
Zhao Lai Island had existed for countless years, so even though no one managed it, it had its own set of rules that the cultivators who came here would voluntarily follow.
Lu Ye followed the crowd to a jade board. Looking up, he saw a line of words written on it:
Zhou Tian Island is recruiting a large number of guards on a long-term basis. The pay is excellent. Those who are interested can talk face to face!
A man with a pale face and no beard stood beside it. He should be the employer who posted the recruitment notice. Someone was communicating with him through spiritual sense. After a while, he shook his head and left.
After that person left, Lu Ye also went up to talk to the employer, but he also left in disappointment.
There was no other reason. The monthly salary offered was a little low, only a little more than a hundred spiritual jades. Such a monthly salary might be able to satisfy the cultivation needs of most Middle-stage Constellation Cultivators, but for Lu Ye, it was still far from enough.
He continued to walk forward and looked around.
Soon, Lu Ye found that the recruitment notice did not mention the pay. They all needed to be discussed with the employer. He talked to a few people, but none of them met his expectations.
After a while, he passed by a jade board. Lu Ye's eyes lit up. It was also a recruitment notice, but the monthly salary was clearly stated. It was a total of eight hundred spiritual jades!
Such a price was undoubtedly high compared to the monthly salary offered by other powers. However, not many people were interested in it, and no one discussed it in front of the employer.
Lu Ye knew that there was something fishy going on. However, in order to understand the mystery, he still went up to talk to the employer.
He then found out the reason why the employer offered such a high price. The Spiritual Island that the employer was from might be going to war with another power soon. They were lacking in manpower, so they urgently needed help. Otherwise, they would not offer such a high price.
After knowing the stakes, Lu Ye immediately lost interest.
Even though the employer said that the war was only a possibility, Lu Ye did not intend to risk his life for them. He was just a Middle-stage Constellation Cultivator from outside. Why would he be interested in getting involved in the dispute between two powers? It would be fine if he won the fight, but if he lost, he might lose his life.
Moreover, even if he won the fight, when the employer's power did not need so many guards, the monthly salary would definitely be reduced.
Therefore, even though the monthly salary of eight hundred spiritual jades was attractive, it was not a long-term solution.
In the next few days, Lu Ye walked around the Recruitment Island. However, no matter how he looked, he could not find anything suitable. He could not help but feel helpless.
Previously, when he was fishing, a Whitey Spirit was worth a few thousand spiritual jades. Now that he was here, he was faced with a monthly salary of one to two hundred spiritual jades. If it was someone else, they might not be able to eat pickled vegetables after being used to delicacies.
However, Lu Ye was born in a small place, so he did not feel too disappointed. He did not have high requirements either. It would be good if he could satisfy his daily cultivation needs. It would be best if he could have some surplus. However, his cultivation consumption was much higher than that of a normal Constellation Cultivator. It would be difficult to satisfy his requirements.
Just as Lu Ye was having a headache, the musical note suddenly reacted.
He took it out to check. He was delighted and immediately soared into the sky. In mid-air, he summoned his Planetary Boat and flew towards the Island of Versatility.
Half a day later, he arrived at the Island of Versatility. He went straight in and came to the private room that he always visited.
Cao Xiang was waiting. When he saw Lu Ye, he stood up and bowed, "Fellow Cultivator Li!"
Lu Ye hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Is the information accurate?"
Cao Xiang smiled faintly, "There's no problem with the source of the information. Our Island of Versatility specializes in gathering information. As for whether it's accurate or not, no one dares to guarantee it. After all, this is information obtained through investigation. Therefore, Fellow Cultivator Li needs to verify it for himself."
Lu Ye nodded. Cao Xiang's words were reasonable. It would be unreasonable to expect him to guarantee the accuracy of the information at this time.
Cao Xiang handed over a jade slip to Lu Ye. "The detailed information is all here. Fellow Daoist will know after checking it. I have to apologize to Fellow Daoist for the delay in this matter."
With the Island of Versatility's ability, it would not take too long to gather information. However, the Jade Conch Galaxy was too remote and had no contact with the Island of Versatility. This was why it had been delayed until today.
The jade slip contained information about the Jade Conch Galaxy. Lu Ye carefully checked it and found that according to the jade slip, if he wanted to return to the Jade Conch Galaxy, he would first have to enter a galaxy called Sky Spill, then cross the entire Sky Spill Galaxy and enter a galaxy called Cloud Shine. After that, he would arrive at the Jade Conch Galaxy.
In other words, if he wanted to return to the Jade Conch Galaxy, he would have to cross a full two galaxies.
The source of the information was a cultivator from the Sky Spill Galaxy. He had never been to the Jade Conch Galaxy and had only come into contact with people from the Cloud Shine Galaxy. As for how the people from the Cloud Shine Galaxy knew about the Jade Conch Galaxy … If the two galaxies were neighbors, it was normal for them to have some intersection.
Judging from the information in the jade slip, the source of the information was somewhat complicated and very reliable. However, as Cao Xiang said, it was difficult to guarantee its accuracy. Lu Ye would have to check it himself.
"Originally, Fellow Cultivator would have to pay another seven hundred jade, but it has been delayed for a long time. How about this, Fellow Cultivator will pay another five hundred jade." Cao Xiang took the initiative to lower the price.
They had previously agreed that he would pay a thousand jade for information. Lu Ye paid three hundred as a deposit, so there were still seven hundred jade left.
Lu Ye did not hold back and readily handed over the five hundred jade.
With this, he only had five hundred jade left, making him look even poorer.
After leaving the Island of Versatility, Lu Ye pinched his note talisman and sent a message before flying away.
A day later, on a reef island in the Thousand Elephant Sea, Lu Ye, who had changed his appearance, sat cross-legged and waited.
After a short while, a figure flew over from the distance and saw Lu Ye from afar, revealing a suspicious look. Lu Ye's Divine Sense surged as he sent a voice transmission. The person flew over and landed in front of Lu Ye, sizing him up before asking in surprise, "Little Friend, what kind of Secret Technique is this? This old master couldn't see any flaws in it and thought I had come to the wrong place."
Lu Ye casually replied, "Since I'm not strong enough, I have to have some means of disguise. Old Tang, take a look at this."
Saying so, he handed over the jade slip he obtained from Cao Xiang.
The one who came was naturally Tang Jun. Since the two of them came to the Thousand Elephant Sea, they had not contacted each other. This was also the first time the two of them had met since last time.
Tang Jun received the jade slip and checked it, raising his brow after a short while, "Where did this information come from?"
"I asked the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce," Lu Ye replied.
Tang Jun nodded, "I guessed so. This old master had thought of this method before, but in the end, this old master is Yue Yao, and the target is too obvious. I thought you would use this method, so I didn't."
This old man was undoubtedly a cautious person. Whenever he went out, he would do his best to conceal his identity as much as possible, lest he provoked someone he shouldn't provoke and bring disaster to his homeland.
"Have you heard of Sky Spill Galaxy and Cloud Shine Galaxy?" Lu Ye asked.
This old man had a lifespan of three thousand years and was a Yue Yao Middle Stage cultivator. Lu Ye did not believe that this old man had not gone out when he was young. Perhaps he knew something about these two galaxies. If so, this information was very reliable.
