Chapter 719 Goodbye Bai Jintang(1/2)
Tang Ning escaped all the way and arrived at "Fangyuanli City" at dawn the next day and entered the Canglang Zongwutong Pavilion.
"Senior, what do you need?" Fang stepped in and a woman came up to him and asked.
"Does your pavilion have a Tianling Ship to Fenghua City?"
"Senior, please wait a moment." The woman said, turning out a black booklet in her hand and flipping through it: "If you are going to Fenghua City, there will be a Heavenly Spirit Ship that can go there in three days."
"Three days." Tangning pondered for a while, "I'd better go ask other people at Wutong Pavilion first! See if they have a faster merchant ship. If not, I'll use it as your merchant ship."
"Okay, welcome back, senior."
Little White Snake was captured. The longer the delay, the more dangerous the situation becomes. He must race against time.
To get to Fenghua City, the fastest shortcut is naturally to take the teleportation array, but the teleportation array is really expensive, and with his current wealth, he simply cannot afford the teleportation fee.
The distance from here to Fenghua City is about 15 to 6 million miles, and the longest distance of the teleportation array can only reach one million miles. Even if you use the teleportation array, you will have to change the array more than ten times, which costs at least one million spiritual stones.
In addition to the waiting time for transferring the array, the teleportation array is not something you can just leave. Except for the teleportation array privately owned by the sect, all teleportation arrays used for commercial purposes must be prepared in advance every time before starting the teleportation, so it is not as good as
Take a merchant ship.
Tang Ning left the palace, and after a short walk, she arrived at the Qianxuan Wutong Pavilion. As she entered the inner room, a woman wearing the Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce costume came up to her and said, "What do you need, fellow Taoist?"
"Do you have a Tianling ship to Fenghua City? The sooner the better."
"Please wait a moment, let me check." The woman took out the mysterious book and flipped through it: "The Tianling Ship to Fenghua City will leave in five days. Do you think it's okay, fellow Taoist?"
Even slower than the Canglang Sect, Tang Ning shook her head, left the palace without saying anything, and went to other Wutong Pavilions for a walk.
It took an hour to visit more than a dozen Wutong Pavilions in the entire "city", and finally selected the "Fengyun" Wutong Pavilion. They had a Tianling Ship and set off to Fenghua City in two days.
Fengyun Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Donglai County. After comparing more than ten Wu Tong Pavilions, Tang Ning finally returned to "Feng Yun Wu Tong Pavilion".
When the woman wearing Fengyun Chamber of Commerce clothes saw him coming back, she stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Have you decided, fellow Taoist? Do you want to take the Heavenly Spirit Ship to Fenghua City?"
Tangning nodded: "How many spirit stones are needed?"
"If you take the Tianling Ship, you will need 450,000 spirit stones. If you take the Wind Spirit Ship, you will only need 150,000 spirit stones."
"Okay!" Tangning turned her hand over and took out forty-five high-grade spiritual stones from her storage bag and handed them to him. These were his last possessions.
If you can't find Bai Jin Tang in Fenghua City, you'll be doomed. You'll have to make alchemy there to earn travel expenses before coming back.
The woman took the spirit stone and pulled out a thin book: "Fellow Taoist, please sign and stamp it."
Tang Ning did as he was told. The woman put away the book and handed him a number plate: "Please come with me."
Tangning followed her through the hall and came to the backyard: "Fellow Taoist, please rest here first. We will remind you before the Tianling Ship sets off."
Tangning nodded, entered the room, and sat down cross-legged.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a knock on the door.
"Come in." The door opened, and a woman came in holding a jade plate in her hand. She placed the jade plate in front of him and said, "Senior, please use it slowly."
After saying that, he left and there was a pot of spiritual wine and a piece of spiritual food placed on the jade plate.
It seems that the service of this chamber of commerce is quite good, and they also provide free spiritual wine and food, which is much better than the Wutong Pavilion of Canglang Sect. Of course, it may be that the spiritual stones they paid have met their requirements, so they provide these things.
Tang Ning wiped out all the spiritual food and wine on the jade plate, sat cross-legged, and practiced practicing Qi.
Two days passed by in a flash. Around midnight, Tang Ning was practicing self-cultivation with her eyes closed when a knock on the door came from outside.
He opened his eyes and opened the room. There was a man standing outside, and he said: "Fellow Taoist Tang, the Heavenly Spirit Ship you are making is about to set off. Please come with me."
Tang Ning followed him out of the room and into the hall. The man led him into a stone room and said, "Fellow Taoist, please wait here. I will take you there later."
The entire room was only ten feet in size, and there were more than ten figures sitting there. They seemed to be monks from the same merchant ship. Tangning found a seat by herself. As time went by, more and more monks were brought here by the man.
time, about an hour later.
The man led the last person into the room and said, "Fellow Taoists, follow me."
Everyone got up and left the room one after another. The group left the hall. After walking for a short time, they came to a curtain of light.
The man waved his hand and the talisman sank into it. The light curtain melted and everyone filed in. There was a plain inside, the ground was paved with black stone slabs, and many large and small warships were docked within a clear-cut framework.
The man led everyone to a Tianling ship. The four characters "Fengyun Chamber of Commerce" were written on the bow flag and sail, and "Tianyu Hao" was written on the stern flag and sail.
"Fellow Taoists, please board the ship! Someone will remind you when you get there." The man said, and everyone jumped up one after another and came to the deck of the Tianling Ship. It was loaded with large and small stone boxes. On both sides of the deck,
There are many monks from the Chamber of Commerce.
Tang Ning found a place to sit cross-legged and waited quietly. Half an hour later, the Sky Spirit Ship burst into light, made a loud rumble, took off into the sky, and sailed away.
The cost of traveling by merchant ship is to charge spiritual stones according to the distance. If the monk travels by boat, the fee is 10,000 spiritual stones for every million miles according to the standard of wind spirit ship.
If it is a Tianling Ship, the fee is 30,000 spirit stones per million miles.
Because the Tianling Ship travels much faster than the Wind Spirit Ship, for the same distance, taking the Sky Spirit Ship will be at least several times faster than the Wind Spirit Ship, and the price will naturally be higher.
If it is consigned goods, relevant fees will be charged based on the weight and volume of the goods.
Generally, there are two types of merchant ships on the market: Tianling Ship and Wind Spirit Ship. Occasionally, there are also Xuanling Ships, but they only carry out short-distance transportation.
As for thunder and rugged ships, they are rarely used in such "county-level" areas. They are generally used for long-distance transportation across states and counties, and rarely travel such "county-level" distances.
As one of the top spiritual weapons, the thunder catamaran is not available to ordinary small forces. For a second-level mystical sect like the Canglang Sect, it is good for a sect to have at most one thunder catamaran. Naturally, it is impossible to use it for commercial transportation.
Most of the Thunder Troopers are owned by big forces and are used to transport important materials and specific purposes. In places like Yuanxian County, Thunder Troopers are generally not used.
The entire county has a radius of 36 million miles, and Tianling ships can travel from south to north, east to west, and a month or two is enough. Unless there is an urgent matter, thunder ships will be used.
The Tianling Ship left the city walls and headed north. Basically, every time it arrived at a pavilion, it would stay in its "Pavilion City" for a period of time to load and unload goods and board monks.
It took nearly a month of walking and stopping like this before we arrived at Fenghua City. It was much slower than Tang Ning expected. It was all due to delays in loading and unloading goods on the road.
As the main city closest to Qinghai, Fenghua City has long been occupied by the frontline headquarters of the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance. A large number of monks have fled. In the entire city, except for some local families and the Xuanmen garrison, all the casual cultivators have basically fled.
.
After the Tianling Ship entered the city, it headed southwest and stopped in the "inner market". The hatch opened and a man came out and said, "Fenghua City has arrived. Fellow Taoists, please come here.
"
The remaining twenty or thirty monks on the deck flashed and came to him one after another. They took out their number plates and handed them to him one by one. The man verified that they were correct and nodded: "Fellow Taoists, you can get off the boat. Welcome to board next time."
Be the "Tianyu Hao"."
Everyone jumped into the air, left the warship, and went their separate ways.
Tang Ning left the warship and was quite confused for a moment. She didn't know where to go. Fenghua City was not big or small. It had a radius of 300,000 miles. Where could she go to find Bai Jin Tang?
He thought for a while, then Dun Guang headed east, encountering many Dun Guangs coming and going along the way.
Every time someone passed by, he would go up and ask a few questions. After some inquiring, he learned the approximate location of the Fourth Army Corps' station. After traveling for four or five days, he came to a mountain range with a huge light curtain inside.
stand.
Tang Ning flipped his hand and handed the talisman in. After a while, the light curtain melted and a gap appeared. He flashed into the inner room and registered his identity information with the escort team.
Due to his status as a monk of the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance, even though he was from a different legion, the disciples of the escort did not make it too difficult for him. They questioned him for a few questions and after verifying his identity, they allowed him to leave.
After Tangning found out the general directions of the three vertical and seven-column buildings, she left the main hall and the light rose up. Not long after, she came to a mountain peak with a main hall standing on top. There were two men taking turns in front of the hall.
He came to a stop in front of the palace, and the inspector asked: "Two fellow Taoists, do you dare to ask if this is the residence of the Third Column and Seventh Alliance of the Fourth Army?"
The two glanced at him.
One of them said: "That's right, who is fellow Taoist?"
"Xiayuan is also a monk in the team directly under the Third Column and Seventh Alliance. He was injured on Cangyun Island and went to Yuanxian City to recuperate, and then stayed in the Nineteenth Legion. But I have never seen these two Taoist friends. They must not be the original ones.
A monk from Qilian!"
After the Fourth Army withdrew from Qinghai, it underwent large-scale adjustments and added many troops from other places.
"We were transferred here later. Is there anything wrong with you, fellow Taoist?"
"I am here to find someone. I would like to ask if Senior Bai Jintang, the former captain of the Seventh Alliance of the Third Column, is still serving in the Seventh Alliance?"
The two of them looked at him, and one of them said: "Senior Bai is now the deputy captain of the seventh alliance. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Bai Jintang was demoted. Tangning was slightly shocked when he heard this, and then she was happy that her trip was not in vain: "I have some personal matters that I would like to ask him to help me with. Can my Taoist friend take me to his cave?"
"Okay, you can come with me!" the man on the left said, and the light rose up. Tangning hurriedly followed, and not long after, she arrived in front of a cave: "This is the cave where Senior Bai is temporarily staying. I'll take my leave now.
"
"Okay, thank you, fellow Taoist." Tang Ning said, took out a transmission note in her hand and handed it in.
Soon, a ray of light flashed out from inside, revealing a petite woman with a graceful face, it was Yan Minyi.
"Aren't you in Yuanxian City? Why are you here?" Yan Min looked at Tang Ning and asked slightly surprised.
"I've met Senior Yan. This junior encountered some troubles in Yuanxian City. I came here to ask Senior Bai for help." Tang Ning bowed his head and said.
Yan Min frowned slightly: "Follow me."
The two of them entered the inner room one after the other and came to the main room. Yan Min pushed the door open and entered.
Sitting cross-legged inside was a man with a slender figure and a jade-like face, looking at the two of them with a smile. It was Bai Jintang.
Tangning hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Junior, I pay my respects to Senior Bai."
