Most of the cultivators on the ship were loose cultivators traveling in small groups of three to five, or disciples dispatched by various sects to execute missions in other regions. These people formed their own tight-knit circles and basically never spoke to unfamiliar cultivators, only exchanging greetings when they happened to see Shu Buda.
As for Shu Buda bringing back one or two cultivators from outside from time to time, they were long used to it, so no one thought Chen Xuan had any special identity.
Shu Buda continued, "The Tuoyue Spirit Boat is one of the most famous large-scale flying dharma artifacts in the Realm of Mountains and Seas. The Myriad Artifacts Commercial Alliance that forged it even established spirit boat docks for it in every major city across the Realm of Mountains and Seas. Speaking of the Myriad Artifacts Commercial Alliance, this super commercial organization is almost on par with our Qianbao Sect in scale, except that their business revolves around forging various dharma artifacts and selling their own products. They don't have much of a conflict with our Qianbao Sect. When I bought a ticket for the Myriad Artifacts Commercial Alliance at the Cliff City spirit boat dock, they even gave me a twenty percent discount. Brother Chen, you boarded the ship without a ticket and would normally need to buy a make-up ticket, but don't worry—Old Shu here will cover this ticket for you."
