Chapter 6: Lingbo Microsteps, the Oil Runs Out

"Oh, this place has become more prosperous than when I came, well, it's a drastic change."

In a spacious road, Aya, wearing a gray cloak, looked in surprise at the high buildings on both sides, and the traffic was everywhere.

Now, she has arrived at the extreme west of the Jiuzhou Continent with Wang Lu and others, a city called Tianlu. Looking at her, she is a bustling and lively scene.

"This is one of the trading hubs of the East and West Continents, and it is a newly built port city, so it is naturally changing with each passing day. When you came, it was a hundred years ago. It was just built and it was not much better than a small fishing village. It is now in the population.

A big city of ten thousand."

In addition to prosperity, what is even more impressive is the mixed and open cultural atmosphere here. With the development of trade, the cultural exchanges between the east and west continents have become integrated, and the various cultural crystals that have been born are even more impressive.

The eyes lit up.

Unfortunately, the group didn't have much time to stay here and enjoy the scenery. Wang Lu's schedule was arranged very closely. When he arrived at Tianlu City, it happened that the merchant fleet from Xuantian Pavilion to the Xiyi Continent was about to set sail.

.

Nowadays, about half of the trade in the East and West Continents is ruled by Xuantian Pavilion and its chambers of commerce. After all, only a giant like Xuantian Pavilion has enough resources and manpower to organize trade across the continent, the deadly fog on the endless sea, and

The endless sea monsters and monsters are beyond the reach of ordinary chambers of commerce.

Through the years of cooperation between Zhishua and Xuantian Pavilion, Wang Lu successfully contacted the branch of Tianlu City. He agreed with a fleet under the branch and set sail with the merchant ship to the Western Yi. This fleet was a fleet of

There are only two or three voyages a year, so you have to wait a few more months to miss this opportunity. In addition to the fleet of Xuantian Pavilion, although there are many other cargo ships, safety issues are difficult to guarantee.

Through the contact information sent by Xuantian Pavilion, Wang Lu and his party found the team leader at the dock and prepared to land and set off. However, as every experienced adventurer is familiar to the law: any adventure is mostly done

Used to deal with emergencies. Wang Lu and the others happened to encounter an emergency.

"Simply put, you have to start the price? The one thousand spirit stones I had agreed on can't fill you up?"

On the pier, facing the warm and humid sea breeze, Wang Lu smiled slightly, but there was no temperature in his smile.

Standing in front of Wang Lu was a burly, black-skinned middle-aged man with red skin and luxurious clothes. It was Nie Yang, the head of the fleet. Nie Yang, as the Xuantian Pavilion, at the Tianlu City Branch, the Tianlu City Branch.

The vice president has a very high reputation and status in Tianlu City, and also has a good immortal cultivation. Ordinary monks are respectful when they see him. However, at this time, Wang Lu looked at him with cold eyes, but he couldn't help but sweat.

I was so excited that I felt panicked.

"It may be a mistake to say that the price is on the ground... it may be a mistake." After all, he was used to the great storm. Nie Yang restrained his mind and explained, "But this is really helpless. Recently, the endless sea suddenly changes have increased, and the risks have increased.

In order to deal with the risks, the fleet made a lot of arrangements, and the navigation cost increased exponentially. The originally agreed 1,000 spirit stones were not enough to pay, so they had to put aside their faces and start the price... In fact, three thousand

The price of spirit stones is not enough to cover the cost.”

Wang Lu had no intention of calculating the cost with the other party, but sneered: "If there is no risk in the trade of this thing on the mainland, how could it be your turn to do it? You are businessmen and should understand the spirit of contract."

Nie Yang said: "The contract also stipulates that if force majeure occurs, we have the right to adjust the price."

"Yes, and the definition of force majeure is also explained casually."

Nie Yang said: "Please believe we are definitely not intentional blackmailing. It is really helpless. If this happens, it will be unfavorable to our Xuantian Pavilion. If it weren't for the fleet that set out from Xiling Port some time ago, it would be endless.

The sea caused a huge wave, and we would not have done this bad decision. In fact, there are not many fleets willing to go out to sea now."

Seeing that Nie Yang said nothing, he just bit him to death and wanted to triple the already expensive shipyard, Wang Lu frowned deeply.

Of course he doesn't care about thousands of spirit stones. Perhaps it's a huge sum of money for ordinary monks, but his net worth is uncountable, and thousands or tens of thousands of spirit stones are just pocket money. But he doesn't like to be raised by people. But Nie Yang temporarily raised the price.

The price makes sense in terms of contract...

"If it's a dilemma, wouldn't it be better if you don't follow his fleet."

In silence, standing behind Wang Lu, the girl in a gray robe covered her body said softly.

Wang Lu shook his head: "The endless sea is vast and boundless, and it is endless. It is not unusual to encounter any situation on the sea. It is really difficult to cross the sea without a skilled fleet guide."

The girl said, "It's not that difficult. I came from the Western Barbarians and crossed the sea alone. At that time, I didn't find a suitable fleet."

Wang Lu said in surprise: "Crossing the sea alone? Did you swim here?"

The girl said, "I have the blessing of the elf and can walk freely on the water, so I came here directly. Of course, it will be more troublesome to encounter tsunamis and huge waves occasionally, but generally speaking, as long as you aim at the east and move forward in a straight line, you will always arrive.

Destination.”

"..." Wang Lu sighed in his heart, no wonder you were exhausted shortly after you came to Jiuzhou Continent. He deserved it.

Wang Lu had nothing to say, but Nie Yang disagreed after hearing the girl's speech and persuaded him: "It is true that a wise monk can fly in the air for a long time, but even if he does not consider the location at sea, the giant lying dormant in the ocean.

The beast is not a small matter. According to legend, even the real person of the Nascent Soul cannot resist it. If he does not follow the fleet, he will be in trouble when encountering the sea monster."

Wang Lu was also curious and asked, "Aya, did you encounter a sea monster attack?"

"Of course, I just drove them away. However, there are many strong people in the sea, and I occasionally feel uncomfortable when I face the battle."

When Aya crossed the sea, she had the power of a monk close to the fusion stage, which made her feel uncomfortable. That was not what Wang Lu’s team could deal with it head-on. Since that’s the case...

"Then get on the boat." Wang Lu shrugged.

After paying half of the ship's ship, Wang Lu and others boarded the fleet. Nie Yang, the head of the fleet, personally led them into the five top-quality rooms on the pilot ship. Wang Lu and others' rooms were specially modified and decorated.

Luxurious, with a wide space, occupying almost a whole floor of the huge pilot ship. There are only six empty rooms on that floor, five of which were occupied by Wang Lu and others, leaving only one room empty. In fact, this is also a huge amount.

The main reason for shipment is, otherwise how could a shipment cost as many as thousands of spirit stones for a few travelers?

Shortly after the fleet set sail, Nie Yang came to find Wang Lu diligently, while expressing his apology in a hurry, while introducing them to a neighbor with a special identity.

In this cabin, except Wang Lu and others, there was only one passenger, who was following Nie Yang in this matter.

"This is our navigator, Ayun." Nie Yang pushed the girl who was following him forward with a warm smile, "She is the biggest security guarantee for us to go to the Western Yi Continent."

Wang Lu looked at the girl named Ayun in a little surprised. She looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, a bit like a mixed race of multiple races, with both facial features and East and West continents. The girl has a white cloud like a white cloud.

Long hair, white and tender skin, and it is not like the general seamen who have been exposed to wind and sun. At the same time, the girl's clothes are luxurious, and she is spotless and woven with the best spiritual silk.

The short skirt wrapped around the tender but curvy body. The limbs were exposed, and precious jade bracelets were worn on the wrists, feet and ankles. Two strings of necklaces were surrounded by neat and smooth shells.

The other string is huge and round pearls. Most of the trivial jewelry contains a faint aura of fairy spirit, which is definitely not used in the ordinary world.

Wang Lu looked at the girl in front of him seriously, and at the same time, the girl raised her eyes, looked at Wang Lu, and nodded slightly to him, her posture seemed calm and generous, completely different from a thirteen or fourteen-year-old cardamom girl who was ignorant of the world.

Just as he nodded, Wang Lu saw that there seemed to be a few scales vaguely growing behind the girl's ears.

Nie Yang noticed Wang Lu's gaze and introduced with a smile: "Ayun is a member of the Sea tribe and the most professional navigator of the Endless Sea."

"Sea people?"

"Well, legend is the gifted clan of heaven and earth. They were born in the endless sea and had a unique perception and affinity for this treacherous ocean. As we all know, the endless sea is unpredictable, and even the most experienced sailors are difficult to predict.

What will happen next moment. But the sea people can keenly detect changes in the ocean and make early warnings. Similarly, ferocious beasts living in the sea usually do not attack ships where the sea people ride. So as long as they are in the fleet

There is a navigator of the sea tribe, and 90% of the 100% danger of the Endless Sea. Of course, with such ability, the value is naturally terrifying. Don’t look at the fact that Miss Ayun is powerless and timid.

, if you want to invite her to come forward, it is impossible without this number."

Nie Yang stretched out a slap, gestured twice, and signaled ten thousand spirit stones.

Wang Lu nodded and said he knew. Nie Yang brought Ayun to see them, which was obviously explaining why he set the price on the ground.

Ten thousand spirit stones, tsk tsk. Generally speaking, it would be great if a fleet can make a profit of tens of thousands of spirit stones. This is a business that is risky to do. And the sea girl can go to sea in one go

After getting ten thousand spirit stones, knowledge is power.

Nie Yang patted the girl Ayun's shoulder and said with emotion: "Usually, we will not invite the sea people to take action. But some time ago, the fleet of Xiling Port encountered sea beasts on the sea, and the fleet carried it.

Many powerful monks, who relied on their strong force, did not place sacrifices as usual, but instead fought with the sea beasts. As a result... Alas, they did clean up the robber-like sea beasts, but they also attracted the ferocious beasts in the sea.

Their public anger. After the fleet passed, the entire endless sea was uneasy. Before that, three fleets had been attacked by angry sea beasts and were wiped out. Now there is no sea navigator, no one is

Dare to go out to sea.”

Wang Lu waved his hand: "Okay, I know, I don't spend money. We have paid the down payment, and we will naturally pay the final payment when we go to the place. Are you still afraid that we will default on the payment? We are very contractual, no

I will modify the contract on the grounds of force majeure."

Nie Yang naturally smiled bitterly, and after a moment, he took Ayun to say goodbye and leave.

Wang Lu watched Ayun's exquisite and exquisite back gradually fade away, and sighed in his heart.

The fleet of Xiling Port... isn't it the team of the Development Management Committee? It is led by Fengyin Real People. The lineup is particularly luxurious and nicknamed Dream Team. It turns out to be a dream team. They are so happy to play in front of them, but they stay.

It's a mess to cause trouble for future generations
