Volume Three, Chapter Seven, Cloud Wave Sect
Most of the day, the boat arrived at Little Putuo Island. Everyone seemed very happy, especially the five monks in the Qi-enlightenment realm, cheered and finally returned home without having to face danger at sea.
??With Tao Haokun's leadership, Ye Daoxin excitedly handled some procedures for going to the island.
??Every foreign monk on Xiao Putuo Island must apply for a jade sign for the first time when he lands in the island, so that he will not be treated as an enemy.
When applying for an identity jade tablet, you usually need someone to recommend it. If no one recommends it, you can only apply for an ordinary identity jade tablet. In this way, you can only stay on the island for a short time, no more than three days at most. If you want to stay for a long time, you must have a familiar and reliable person guaranteed it.
??Ye Daoxin followed the monks of Yunlang Sect and looked at everything on Xiao Putuo Island silently. He found that although this island is called Xiao Putuo Island, it is not small at all. It is initially estimated that it is thousands of miles in size, and even the pier to the island is surprisingly large!
There are various ships parked everywhere on the pier, including big and small. There are also many monks like Tao Haokun. They use treasure ships that can be big or small. In this way, they don’t need to park at the pier. They can be put away at any time and put them in the storage bag. They can be taken out when they want to use them.
This is the first time Ye Daoxin has seen such a large wharf when he comes to Cang'er Continent!
??Whether it is the number of ships or the size of ships, it is not comparable to the docks built by cities inhabited by mortals on Earth.
??Ye Daoxin actually saw an amazingly large ship, as big as a football field, with many houses on it, the tallest one is four or five floors, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of people can be accommodated.
The key point is that Ye Daoxin swept his eyes around and found that there were more than one such giant ship, and seven or eight were docked on the dock. As for other smaller ships, there were countless, all kinds of shapes, some looked like tigers and leopards, majestic! Some looked like birds, spreading their wings and soaring! Some looked like dragons, majestic!
Ye Daoxin counted roughly and found that there were probably thousands of small boats like this in the entire pier. From a distance, it was covered in darkness, making people feel that he was not on the sea at all, but on land.
??There are people coming and going on the pier, and there are many people getting on and off the boat, some of which are in a hurry, while others are very leisurely.
??Ye Daoxin discovered that there are not only immortal cultivators on this island, but also more mortals, and people come and go, which is extremely prosperous!
??After getting on the dock, not far away, Ye Daoxin and the six monks of Yunlang Sect came to a level. In front of the level were six monks from the Qi-Suiting Realm, responsible for checking and handling the identity jade tablets of past monks.
Ye Daoxin also saw a small pavilion next to the level that was specially designed to check for monks to rest. There was a mid-stage monk in the Dancheng realm sitting inside, closing his eyes to rest.
??Maybe the spiritual sense felt the arrival of Ye Daoxin and others. The mid-stage cultivator of the Dancheng Realm suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Daoxin and Tao Haokun.
This middle-level monk in the Dancheng realm is an old man with a long beard, a green robe, a slender belt tied around his waist, and a jade pendant on it. He looks energetic, radiant, majestic, and blushed!
He has extraordinary temperament and majesty. Even if he sits silently, it will not be underestimated at all!
When the old man in the green robe opened his eyes, Ye Daoxin immediately felt a bad look at him. Based on his own feelings, Ye Daoxin also discovered that the old man in the green robe not only looked at him with his eyes, but also used his spiritual sense to scan his body.
?? The old man in the green robe glanced for a while and found nothing wrong. He saw that Ye Daoxin was led by Tao Haokun, and his cultivation was only in the early stage of the Dancheng Realm. He had no expression and began to close his eyes and rest.
"President Tao, are you going out to hunt sea beasts again? How is the harvest this time?"
Several cultivators in the Qi-Naqi Realm who were guarding the checkpoints greeted Tao Haokun very enthusiastically, and they were obviously quite familiar with Tao Haokun.
"Thank you for your hard work, please ask me to have a few fellow Taoists. I have gained a little this time. Let's go back and invite you to drink."
Tao Haokun responded happily with a smile on his face.
?? "President Tao, the monk next to you is very good. Who is this monk?" The six monks in the Qi-enlightenment Realm did not pay attention to Tao Haokun and the five monks in the Qi-enlightening Realm behind him, but when they saw Ye Daoxin, they questioned him.
"Several fellow Taoists, this cultivator is the guest elder of our Yunlang Sect. He has never shown up before. Now he has just returned from practicing outside. Please ask me to apply for an identity jade tablet."
Tao Haokun's face was very calm and he stepped forward to explain.
"Oh, it turns out to be the guest elder of Yunlang Sect! Then there is no problem, but what is his name? Should I apply for a temporary jade or a permanent residence jade? Ordinary jade, five pieces of green jade for the Qi Realm monk, ten pieces of green jade for the Dancheng realm monk, and twenty pieces of green jade for the permanent residence, ten pieces of green jade for the Qi Realm monk, and twenty pieces of green jade for the Dancheng realm monk."
After listening to Tao Haokun's explanation, a monk guarding the level asked politely.
??Ye Daoxin just came to Xiao Putuo Island. As a monk, he had an amazing memory. In half a day, he had learned the local language. Although he could not speak the local language fluently, there was no problem in understanding what others said.
??However, Ye Daoxin didn't say anything, just smiled and watched Tao Haokun negotiate with the monk guarding the level to apply for the identity jade tablet.
"His name is Lin Daoxin, and he needs to apply for a jade sign for permanent residence."
Tao Haokun directly made the decision for Ye Daoxin, and applied for the permanent residence jade tablet for Ye Daoxin. At the same time, he took out twenty pieces of green jade and handed it over.
??The monk guarding the level took out a blue jade token with the word "Island" engraved on it. This is the word "Erhai Prefecture". Ye Daoxin had just learned it, but he saw his magic power pouring in. A white light flashed, completely covering the jade token. After a moment, the light dissipated, and a word "Lin" appeared on the back of the jade token.
In this way, in the blink of an eye, a permanent identity jade tablet will be made!
??Immediately afterwards, the monk waved his hand and threw the green jade sign at Ye Daoxin.
?? "Fellow Daoist Lin, this identity jade plaque needs to be kept well. Every time you go to Xiao Putuo Island, you need to check the identity jade plaque. If it is lost, you must come to me in time to re-issue it. Otherwise, you will not be able to go to Xiao Putuo Island next time. Of course, this is just a permanent identity jade plaque. If you live on the island, you need to rent a cave and pay additional money. However, you are actually a guest elder of Yunlang Sect, and you can also live with fellow Tao at the Yunlang Sect's residence, which can save a lot of money."
??The cultivator in the Qi-Nao Realm who guards the checkpoint knew that Ye Daoxin was a guest elder of Yunlang Sect. He was very polite to Ye Daoxin and patiently explained to him various things to pay attention to when going to the island. At the same time, he also reminded Ye Daoxin that he could live in the Yunlang Sect's residence, so that he would not need to pay the additional fee for renting a cave.
"Thank you for your reminder from this fellow Taoist. I will live in Yunlang Sect for the time being."
Ye Daoxin answered in local dialect that was not very fluent.
??After passing the level, Tao Haokun took out his elixir boat and invited Ye Daoxin to ride with him, and then used his magic power.
"Swoosh!"
The boat actually flew up like the Danbao Flying Boat, into the sky, and quickly left. After about half a quarter of an hour, Ye Daoxin probably walked five hundred miles, and the boat stopped in front of a not very high mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, we have arrived. This mountain is located within ten miles of the radius of the Yunlang Sect."
Fellow Daoist Tao took the lead in getting off the flying boat and stood in front of the mountain to introduce the road.
"Not bad, I didn't expect that Yunlang Sect could have such a large base in such a prosperous small Putuo Island, and it was such a quiet and beautiful place."
Ye Daoxin looked up and found that the mountain was not very high, but he saw the pen standing upright, the curved stream was deep, the strange peaks and stones, the green mountains and clear waters, flowers and trees competed for strange things, and pines and cypresses fought against green.
There are countless famous mountains in the world, and the flowers bloom and fade and become rich.
This is really because the mountain is not high, but the immortals are famous! The water is not deep, but the dragons are spiritual!
"It made Brother Lin laugh. It is remote and the scenery is pretty good, but no matter how big the resident or how prosperous it is, it is far from comparable to other sects in Little Putuo Island."
Hearing Ye Daoxin's praise, Tao Haokun was not at all proud and very modest.
Little Putuo Island is very prosperous, at the highest peak in the center of the island, where every inch of land is valuable! Although I am the leader of a sect, I cannot own a cave or even a shop there.
Among the many sect forces on Xiao Putuo Island, Yunlang Sect has the worst strength and occupies the smallest and most remote place.
The competition among the major sects on Xiao Putuo Island is very fierce and often fights with each other. It is common for large forces to annex small forces. Since many Dancheng cultivators died in the expedition, their strength has dropped drastically and they are facing the possibility of being annexed at any time. This is also the reason why Tao Haokun tried his best to please Ye Daoxin and wanted to win over Ye Daoxin as a guest elder.
??Ye Daoxin saw that the Yunlang Sect was not large and the mountain gate was not majestic. However, the environment here was quiet and the artistic conception was elegant, and it had a unique flavor. Ye Daoxin was devoted to practicing hard and was not very interested in the prosperous places. Instead, he liked such remote and quiet places.
Ye Daoxin carefully looked at the mountain where Yunlang Sect was located, and he was surprised to find that around the mountain, a trace of formation was revealed faintly. It was obvious that the entire mountain was banned.
?? From Ye Daoxin's perspective, the formation arranged around the mountain is not very powerful, but it is very clever, just like the formation Tao Haokun used to hunt sea beasts, and is enough to trap cultivators in the early stage of Dancheng Realm.
??Ye Daoxin was looking at Yunlang Sect. Tao Haokun, who walked off the spaceship together, said with apologies:
?? "Brother Lin, please come inside. I'm not going to stand outside all the time. Let's go in and take a break. I'll tell you to arrange the cave and prepare fine wine and food. Then we'll have a good drink."
"I made Brother Tao laugh, and I was also on a whim. I took a few more glances. Brother Tao was really polite. I will live in Yunlang Sect for a long time. I will ask Brother Tao to take care of him."
??After hearing Tao Haokun’s invitation, Ye Daoxin responded politely.
?Ye Daoxin was very happy to see the Yunlang Sect's residence. It seemed that he was lucky and found a comfortable place to settle down in Little Putuo Island so quickly.
