"Okay!"

The waiter responded and hurried to process the formalities.

Soon, the waiter returned with two tokens and handed them to Su Chun and Zi Yu.

"Gentlemen, this is your room number. Turn left on the second floor; room 203."

Thank you.

Su Chun took the token and led Zi Yu upstairs.

After entering the room, Su Chun first set up a simple warning array, then said to Zi Yu, "You rest in the room for a while and don't wander around. I'm going to sell some monster materials and will be back soon."

"Okay, don't worry, Sister Su Chun, I won't run around."

"That's what Ziyu said obediently."

Su Chun nodded, turned and left the room.

She first looked around to see if there were any other chambers of commerce with more affordable prices, but unfortunately, she found that Hanhaige was still the most expensive.

Although she had been tricked by Han Hai Pavilion in Luo Yun City before, she knew that such things were probably done in private, and she just needed to be careful.

Compared to the Hanhai Pavilion in Luoyun City, the Hanhai Pavilion on Qianlang Island is more magnificent. The entire building is constructed of a blue jade stone, which sparkles in the sunlight, resembling a crystal palace.

As Su Chun entered Hanhai Pavilion, a middle-aged cultivator who appeared to be the manager hurriedly came to greet him with a professional smile.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything you need?"

"I want to sell some monster materials."

Su Chun said.

"I wonder what kind of monster material it is?"

Su Chun took out a jade box from her storage bag and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Inside are the demon crystal, venom sac, and scales of a fourth-tier peak sea monster, the Inkscale Whale, as well as the demon crystal and horn of a fourth-tier Silver Horned Bull."

The shopkeeper took the jade box, opened it, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Then he began to discuss the price with Su Chun.

Chapter 128 Arrival at Purple Phoenix Island

Inside the Hanhai Pavilion, the shopkeeper carefully examined the materials of the Inkscale Whale and Silver Horned Ox that Su Chun had taken out, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

These are all high-quality materials from fourth-tier sea monsters, especially the venom sac of the Inkscale Whale and the horn of the Silver Horned Bull, which are in high demand in the Chaotic Star Sea.

"Fellow Daoist Su, your materials are of superior quality. I will give you a satisfactory price."

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and pondered, "The Inkscale Whale Demon Crystal is at the peak of the fourth tier, in perfect condition, worth 50,000 spirit stones. The poison sac is intact, the poison hasn't dissipated, worth 30,000 spirit stones. Those few scales are the essence, with excellent defense, so let's say 20,000. The Silver Horned Bull Demon Crystal is a mid-grade fourth tier, worth 30,000. The horn contains pure spiritual power, worth 40,000. And there are others..."

In the end, Hanhai Pavilion gave Su Chun a total offer of more than 300,000 spirit stones.

The price was higher than Su Chun had expected, and she was very satisfied.

"The shopkeeper is fair."

"Hehe, fellow Daoist is straightforward. In our Hanhai Pavilion business, we value reputation above all else."

The shopkeeper smiled and gave instructions to the shop assistant.

"Go and fetch 360,000 spirit stones."

Soon, a heavy storage bag was handed to Su Chun.

After scanning it with his divine sense and confirming that it was correct, Su Chun put it into his storage magic treasure.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Su needs anything else? Our Hanhai Pavilion has everything you could want. If you have a VIP card, you can also enjoy a 10% discount."

The shopkeeper enthusiastically promoted the product.

Upon hearing the mention of the VIP card, Su Chun's heart stirred slightly, recalling her experience in Luoyun City. She politely declined, saying, "Thank you, shopkeeper, but I don't need it for now."

The shopkeeper didn't press the matter and politely saw Su Chun out of Hanhai Pavilion.

After leaving Hanhai Pavilion, Su Chun did not linger outside and went straight back to Haifeng Inn.

Back in the room, Ziyu was sitting by the window, looking at the bustling crowds on the street outside. When she saw Su Chun return, she immediately came to greet her excitedly.

"Sister Su Chun, you're back! Did you sell the monster materials? How many spirit stones did you get?"

Su Chun smiled and shook the storage bag in her hand.

"Sold it all. The haul was pretty good; it'll last me a while."

She didn't give a specific number, but judging from her relaxed expression, Ziyu knew that she must have sold quite a lot.

"Great!"

Ziyu clapped her hands, then asked with some worry, "Then... how do we contact my parents now?"

Su Chun walked to the table and sat down, saying, "Qianlang Island is so prosperous, it should have a special agency for transmitting messages or sending messages across islands."

Tomorrow we'll inquire and see if there's a teleportation array directly to Purple Phoenix Island or nearby islands, or a reliable messenger.

"Uh-huh!"

Ziyu nodded vigorously, her face full of anticipation.

The hope of returning home was right in front of her, which made her temporarily forget her previous fear and anxiety.

The next morning, Su Chun took Zi Yu to Qianlang Island to inquire about it.

News transmission in the Chaotic Star Sea is far less convenient than in the Southern Continent. Cross-island communication mainly relies on specially made communication jade slips and large communication arrays, but these are expensive and not all islands have them.

As for inter-island teleportation arrays, they are only set up between large islands and are limited by the consumption of spirit stones and spatial stability.

After making some inquiries, Su Chun learned that Qianlang Island does indeed have a regular teleportation array and ships that travel to the sea area where Zilu Island is located, about once every half month, and there will be one ship in exactly three days.

Although ships are not as fast as teleportation arrays, they are relatively cheaper and safer, with Core Formation cultivators escorting them.

"Great, we can take a boat back now."

Upon hearing this news, Ziyu was so excited she almost jumped up.

Su Chun also breathed a sigh of relief; having a proper boat was undoubtedly the safest option at present.

She immediately decided to wait on Qianlang Island for three days, then take a boat to a transit island near Zilu Island, and then find a way to get to Zilu Island.

For the next three days, Su Chun spent her time cultivating and strolling around Thousand Waves Island with Zi Yu.

Ziyu was curious about everything, from the street vendors' special snacks to the rare treasures sold at the cultivators' stalls, she could linger for half a day at any of them.

Su Chun was happy to accompany her, and also to gain a deeper understanding of the local customs and culture of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Three days passed quickly.

The dock was bustling with activity, as monks of all skin colors and attire gathered there, waiting to board the ships.

This ship, named "Breaking Waves," is even larger than the Black Skull that Su Chun previously seized. Its hull is made of sturdy deep-sea driftwood, and its surface is engraved with intricate defensive and stabilizing formations, making it clearly very expensive.

With Ziyu by her side, Su Chun successfully boarded the Broken Wave with her ship ticket.

Most of the passengers on the ship were merchants and independent cultivators, as well as some disciples of small factions.

Su Chun and Zi Yu found a seat by the window. With a low hum and the light of the array, the Breaking Waves slowly left the port of Thousand Waves Island and headed into the depths of the vast sea.

The ship's voyage was much smoother and safer than Su Chun's own flight.

There were dedicated monks on board responsible for guarding and controlling the formations, while most passengers rested and cultivated in their cabins or on the deck.

Aside from occasionally giving Ziyu some pointers on basic breathing techniques, Su Chun spent most of his time cultivating with his eyes closed, consolidating his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Ziyu seemed quite excited, running up to the deck every now and then to watch the sea view rushing past the window and the islands appearing and disappearing in the distance, chattering away with questions.

Su Chun patiently answered her questions, and the relationship between the two grew closer.

After a seven-day voyage, the Breaking Waves finally arrived at its destination, a medium-sized island called Moon Gazing Island.

This is an important transit hub in the waters near Zilu Island.

"Sister Su Chun, I've been here before. From here to Purple Phoenix Island, it only takes a day by taking a short teleportation array or flying."

Ziyu said excitedly upon seeing the familiar surroundings.

Su Chun nodded and disembarked from the boat with Zi Yu.

Although Wangyue Island was not as prosperous as Qianlang Island, it was still quite lively. Su Chun quickly found out the location of the short-distance teleportation array to Zilu Island.

After paying a hefty teleportation fee, Su Chun and Zi Yu stepped into the teleportation array.

After a familiar wave of dizziness, the two found themselves in the teleportation array plaza of Purple Phoenix Island.

As soon as she landed, Ziyu took a deep breath with excitement, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

"I'm finally home, Sister Su Chun. This is Purple Phoenix Island."

The environment of Zilu Island is indeed beautiful. The air is filled with rich spiritual energy, the island is lush with vegetation, and birds sing and flowers bloom, which is completely different from the chaotic and dangerous alien sea and the noisy Qianlang Island.

Just then, several cultivators dressed in uniform and whose auras were at the Foundation Establishment stage noticed them. In particular, when they saw Ziyu, the leader's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Miss? You, you're back?"

Ziyu was overjoyed to see who had arrived.

"Yes, it's me. I'm back."

The cultivator from Purple Phoenix Island was clearly taken aback when his young lady, who had been missing for many days, suddenly appeared in the teleportation array. He was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. He hurriedly said, "Miss, it's so good that you're alright! The island lord and his wife were almost frantic with worry. I'll go and report to them right away!"

After saying that, he immediately gave instructions to his companions.

"Quickly, escort the young lady and this fellow Daoist to the welcoming hall to rest. I will go and inform the island lord and his wife."

Soon, Su Chun and Zi Yu were led to an elegant palace.

The interior of the hall is exquisitely decorated, and the spiritual atmosphere is even more intense.

The maidservants served fragrant tea and sacred fruits with great respect.

Ziyu was clearly very familiar with the place and was much more relaxed. She held Su Chun's hand and chattered excitedly about the situation on Zilu Island.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"My Yu'er, you're finally back."

Accompanied by a woman's excited and concerned voice, a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous palace attire, with a graceful appearance and elegant demeanor, strode in. Behind her was a tall, resolute-looking, and composed middle-aged man.
