"One thousand purple pearls!" Teng Qing Shan quoted directly.

  One thousand purple pearls are worth one thousand taels of gold in the nine provinces, but Teng Qing Shan is not that kind of person. He's just a simple fisherman with little knowledge. Teng Qing Shan is very clear... about this treasure that has never been seen before. It's worth millions, but it's not excessive. However, having more purple pearls would be meaningless to Teng Qing Shan.

  After staying for a while, Teng Qing Shan and Li Jun were about to leave. The one thousand purple pearls were enough for Teng Qing Shan and Li Jun to buy whatever they wanted.

  "Alright, one thousand purple pearls!" The old man smiled and replied, without haggling over the price at all.

  He secretly sneered in his heart: "This big-bearded young man, judging from his attire, is not a wealthy and noble person at all. I estimate that he doesn't even understand the value of these treasures." However, he didn't know... Deng Qing Shan had come to Mingyue Island to purchase some supplies and was about to leave.

  "This is a thousand purple pearls." The old man handed over a large bag to Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Qing Mountain opened it and saw that inside were purple beads, very beautiful. However, they could be used as currency, apparently... On Mingyue Island, there must also be a lot of these purple beads.

  Teng Qing Shan weighed it roughly and estimated that there were about a thousand of them. He then stood up and said, "Hmm, we're even now."

  "May I ask, where did you two get this green jade?" The old man asked in a row.

  Hong Qing Shan smiled and took Li Kun away, leaving only one sentence - "It's just bad luck."

  ******

  Shangguan Quan followed Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun very obediently, in this town, Teng Qing Shan bought a bag of grain, some seasonings for cooking, many fruits, and some food that can be stored for a long time. Also purchased a large number of clothes, shoes and socks, etc.

  "Finally got enough clothes to change!" Teng Qing Shan was now refreshed, wearing a clean cyan-colored outfit, with his black long hair scattered and a stubble on his face.

  Everything was bought well, and the sun is already high up in the sky.

  Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun decided to have a good meal in this town. The food eaten on the sea, how can it compare with the food in this wine building?

  "Great hero, this Golden Sword Tavern is the best tavern in our Beiyuan Town." After Shangguan Quan gave a command to Teng Qing Shan "Go to the best tavern, don't save money for us", he brought Teng Qing Shan and others to the Golden Sword Tavern.

  Jin Jian wine house second floor, now it's not yet noon, there aren't many people.

  "It looks like there are a lot of dishes." Teng Qing Shan took a glance at the menu and handed it to Li Juan, "Little Juan, choose what you like."

  "You too, sit down." Teng Qing Shan looked at Shang Guan Quan, "Eat with us, run with us for a day, we won't treat you unfairly."

  Shangguan Quan sat down with a surprised expression and repeatedly said: "Thank you, great hero."

  "Let's see how the taste is on this side." Li Jyun smiled, she and Teng Qing Shan ordered a total of eighteen dishes, three people eating eighteen kinds was indeed luxurious. However, Teng Qing Shan and his group came with the idea of trying new things.

  A moment later——

  The table was already filled with a variety of dishes, and Teng Qing Shan repeatedly picked up food with his chopsticks to eat: "Hmm, not bad, not bad, the flavor is indeed good!" Whoever drifts at sea for more than three months and suddenly eats such a rich feast would be amazed. Li Kun was a girl, a bit shy, eating slowly. Unlike Teng Qing Shan, who was wolfing down his food.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Two young men in white attire with green scabbards on their backs went up the stairs to the second floor.

  "Great hero, look!" Shangguan Quan was somewhat excited, "Those two who came up are actually disciples of the Sword Tower!"

  Teng Qing Shan turned his head to take a glance, and on the white attire of those two young men, there was a sword-shaped pattern on the left chest: "Look at their eyes, look at their footsteps, hmm, like a master swordsman." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, of course... Even if he admired them in his heart, Teng Qing Shan didn't take them seriously.

  The entire Moon Island has only tens of millions of people, and in proportion, it's likely that there isn't even a single Void Realm expert!

  According to Yu Huang, the nine major sources of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth are all on the land of the Nine States, which he suppressed with the Nine Tripods. The land of the Nine States is the core of the entire heaven and earth. The spiritual energy there is the most abundant! Like the North Sea Continent, some ordinary islands in the North Sea, the spiritual energy is not as good as that of the Nine States.

  To give birth to a powerful being in a virtual world, elsewhere, it's probably even harder than in the Nine Provinces!

  ……

  Two disciples of Jian Lou attracted attention from many people on the second floor as soon as they came up, but these two disciples didn't mind, they were already used to it!

  "Senior brother, let's sit over there."

  The two disciples of Jian Lou chose a position by the window, which was not far from Tan Qing Shan's table.

  "Hmm? Younger brother, look over there, that purple-clothed girl seems to be staring in our direction."

  "This purple-clothed girl doesn't seem like an ordinary villager, she should be from a big family. Nanyan Town is so small, if she's from here, we should know her."

  The two sword pavilion disciples also smiled and raised their cups in a friendly gesture towards Li Kun.

  "Miss, there are only two of us at this table, why not come over to our side? Let's drink and chat together, isn't that a wonderful thing?" one of the slightly older young men said with a smile.

  Jian Lou disciples, every single one of them is a genius from Ming Yue Island, each with an air of arrogance in their hearts.

  Hong Qingshan is on this wine table.

  Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun exchanged a glance, couldn't help but laugh. Teng Qing Shan chuckled and said: "You two just drink your wine, don't think about my sister!"

  Two disciples of Jian Lou's face sank.

  On Mingyue Island, there aren't many people who dare to speak to a Swordsman Pavilion disciple like that.

  "Who are you? State your name!" one of the slender youths with a dark complexion shouted, frowning.

  "Who's the one who came up with this? Alright, you little guys, drink your wine obediently." Teng Qing Shan said as he raised his head and downed the cup in one gulp. He savored the taste for a moment, smacking his lips several times, "This wine isn't bad at all."

  Wow!

  Two disciples of Jian Lou stood up, their eyes gleaming with a sharp gaze, staring at Teng Qing Shan. The lean and dark youth spoke in a cold voice: "Brother, the words you just spoke... should be considered as provocation towards us, the disciples of Jian Lou!"

  The entire second floor of the wine house fell silent, with everyone looking this way.

  "Provocation?"

  Hong Qing Shan turned his head towards the two of them, "Provoking you?" He let out a low laugh and continued drinking, completely ignoring the two.

  "Haughtily!" The slender young man with a dark complexion snorted in anger, "Let's see if you have the capital to be haughty!" With a 'clang', he drew out the sharp sword from behind his back.

  One word of disagreement, swords drawn against each other!

  "Look out!" a lean young man shouted loudly, as a sharp cold light flashed through the air, stabbing towards Teng Qing Shan's throat.

  Hong Qing Shan held a wine cup in his right hand and didn't even look at it before directly tossing it away with his left hand!

  "Bang!"

  Teng Qing Shan directly grasped the hilt of the sharp sword with his palm.

  The slender young man's face changed greatly, trying hard to pull out the sword, but Teng Qing Shan's palm grasped the hilt of the sword, no matter how much strength he used, he couldn't budge this sharp sword: "How is it possible? How can a palm grasp a sword? His hand, is it comparable to a divine artifact?"

  "Big Brother!" The pale young man was shocked and wanted to draw his sword.

  Hong Qingshan's left hand suddenly shook violently.

  "Ka Cha!" The lean young man only felt his wrist suddenly cracking open, the hilt directly smashing into his abdomen, and in a severe pain, he was thrown flying, also colliding with his junior brother behind him to one side. Only to hear the tables, chairs, boards, and benches crashing and rolling away, the two of them also fell to the ground in disarray.

  "What kind of strength is this?"

  "He grasped the sword body, but I was holding the hilt. Yet he could shatter my wrist with a single move. What kind of internal energy technique is this?"

  This pair of spoiled brats fell to the floor and were both shocked stiff.

  Hong Qing Shan threw down the sword with a "clang", smashing it onto the floorboards, producing a crisp ringing sound.

  "Two little guys." Teng Qing Shan stood up, looked at the two of them and smiled, "Provoking? You say I'm provoking you? What qualifications do you have to let me provoke?"

  Two Jian Lou disciples looked at each other.

  Indeed, in front of this mysterious mastermind, the behavior of these two was indeed laughable. Provoking them? Did they have the qualifications to provoke each other?

  "Being able to become a disciple of the Sword Tower means that you two have decent innate talent." Teng Qing Shan looked at the two with a faint smile, "However, wanting to become a true master, innate talent is secondary, willpower and dedication are more important! Don't spend all day showing off in the wine tower, when you have time, focus on quiet and diligent cultivation, otherwise, it's like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you'll retreat."

  Hong Qing Shan's words caused the faces of these two Sword Pavilion disciples to change colors constantly.

  Ashamed? Hard to bear?

  "Thanks for your guidance, senior!" One of them stood up and bowed respectfully, the other also stood up and bowed with gratitude.

  "Xiao Juan, let's go." Teng Qing Shan was also full of food and drink.

  "Hmm." Li Kun smiled and walked away shoulder to shoulder with Teng Qing Shan. Next to him, Shang Guan Quan immediately followed, and when he noticed that the people on the second floor of the wine tower were looking at Teng Qing Shan with a gaze that seemed to see a super strong man from outside the world, Shang Guan Quan immediately puffed out his chest and followed Teng Qing Shan downstairs.

  At this moment, Shangguan Quan felt particularly proud!

  ******

  At noon, on the southern beach of Mingyue Island.

  A large number of soldiers carrying swords and wearing simple armor stood on the beach, surrounding a commander. At this moment, in the turbulent waves, a fast ship and a wooden ship were connected together.

  "Sir, the anchor is stuck in the reef below and it's hard to get it out." A loud shout came from afar, "Brothers, there's no way to pull out the anchor."

  Teng Qing Shan dropped anchor, but it wasn't a simple drop anchor. Instead, he dove into the sea floor and used an iron anchor to clamp himself onto the reef rocks, making it impossible for others to lift the anchor no matter how hard they tried.

  "Cut off the iron chain, cut it off!" The general roared on the beach.

  "Yes, sir!" A voice came from afar.

  "Damn it!" the general cursed, "It's stopped so far away! It took a lot of effort to get past, and now the anchor is stuck on the reef!" The general was indeed furious, having been busy since morning and still not fully resolved. It had already been nearly two hours. Actually, it wasn't his fault.

  The nine-bend ghost ditch, although it is the first ghost ditch closest to the seaside, does not make them helpless, but it is still very troublesome.

  Not long after ——

  The tung wood boat with its iron anchor removed floated quickly towards the beach on the seawater and soon stopped on the beach.

  "This is a great ship, sir! The hull has many dents, but it's not damaged at all. It must have collided with reefs many times, and yet it's still intact." Those soldiers who had disembarked were all very excited, "This is absolutely a great ship, our military camp doesn't even have such good ships!"

  "Sir, the wood of this boat, I've never seen it before. It's not the kind of wood we have on our island."

  "Sir, there are many treasures in the cabin, all of which are fist-sized gems. I've never seen anything like it."

  Hundreds of soldiers suddenly boiled up all over the beach.

  Tungsten wooden boat deck.

  "Wow, what a huge gem!" The commander held the fist-sized iron leaf fruit, which was semi-transparent in the sunlight and seemed to dazzle his eyes. He had an excited look on his face, "Haha, brothers, we've struck it rich, we've struck it rich!"

  "A shrill cry suddenly rang out."
