Cang Mingxiao
Sea Star City is built along the coast.
Their architectural style is quite different from that of Human Race.
This is equivalent to the Sea Tribe relocating their underwater structures to land.
Sea Star City has no city walls.
The Sea Tribe introduced seawater into Sea Star City, which is crisscrossed with ditches and has a humid environment like an artificial Sea Island. The deepest part of these ditches can reach hundreds of feet.
Most Sea Tribe are enormous, and many lower-ranking Sea Tribe are unable to transform into human form, so they use these ditches to move around in Sea Star City.
Su Bai and Lan Yan, two Human Race Cultivator, flew through the Sky-Flying and entered Sea Star City.
Although they tried their best to conceal their presence, the Sea Tribe could easily recognize their Human Race identities.
The Ning Clan Token at their waists came into play; upon seeing the Token at the waists of the two, these Sea Tribe would suppress their naked desire to devour them.
"First, find Inn and inquire around the city for five days before searching for the Merfolk Third Prince," Su Bai said calmly.
"Five days? Why does it have to take so long?" Lan Yan asked, slightly puzzled.
Su Bai said solemnly, "I may not be as good as you at alchemy for now, but the dangers of the Demon Star Sea... I come from a background of wandering cultivators in the outer sea. I have killed far more people and encountered far more dangers than you. I have far more experience than you. Just listen to me."
Lan Yan was taken aback and nodded in agreement.
In fact, five days later, on November 5th, Su Bai's [Immortal Talent Reflection] will be refreshed, at which time the Survey ability will be of some use.
The architecture within Sea Star City is unique.
The languages Sea Tribe are also exceptionally rich.
Fortunately, the Cultivation World is now in a state of great integration. The common language of the Cultivation World is still mainly the language of Human Race Cultivator with a rich vocabulary, and the Demon Race on land has even fully adapted to the language and script of the Human Race.
The Sea Tribe were a step slower in integrating, but although Sea Tribe speech had a sea accent, they were still able to communicate in a basic way.
After strolling Sea Star City for a while, Su Bai and Lan Yan soon arrived in front of a building with a spiraling, fluid-like shape.
The building is constructed from Coral Spiritstone, a common material in Haicheng.
The shape of this building subtly resembles the trajectory of the Deep Sea currents.
However, from Human Race aesthetic point of view, this building is nothing but bizarre.
Judging from the exterior of the building alone, Su Bai would never have been able to tell that this place was Inn.
Fortunately, there was a stone tablet in front of the building, with the words "Inn," "restaurant," and "accommodation" written on it in both Sea Tribe and Human Race scripts.
The two men darted inside.
In the lobby on the first floor, there were quite a few guests, with various Sea Tribe wearing fish heads, turtle heads, and other decorations drinking and chatting.
Some Sea Tribe also transform into humans, but they all retain some Sea Tribe characteristics, such as scales on certain parts of their bodies and parotid glands on their faces.
The Body Refinement of the Sea Tribe is the same as that of the Demon Race.
Similarly, the realms are divided into Body Refinement, Spirit Absorption, Core Formation, Demon General, and Demon King.
Generally, one can try to shrink their body size in the Spirit Gathering Stage and transform into human form in the Condensing Origin Stage, but the specific transformation time is not entirely fixed depending on the difference in Bloodline.
For example, the receptionist at this Sea Tribe Inn is probably only at the Body Refinement Stage, but her upper body is a perfect human form because she is a Mermaid.
"Would you like to stay overnight or have a meal, gentlemen?" the Mermaid asked in a sweet voice.
Mermaid are considered one of the more Human Race -friendly types of the Sea Tribe.
Su Bai said, "Give me a double room for five days. Meals aren't necessary."
Given the environment of Sea Star City, it's safer for Su Bai to live with Lan Yan.
"No problem, it'll be one hundred Low-grade Spirit Stone in total," the Mermaid replied.
Twenty Spirit Stone a day is a bit expensive, but still acceptable.
Su Bai was about to take out the Spirit Stone.
Lan Yan, the rich guy Alchemist, took out a Mid-grade Spirit Stone and handed it to the receptionist first.
It seems that Lan Yan can basically cover all the expenses for this trip.
The rooms are two adjacent rooms on the tenth floor.
The two went upstairs to rest in their room.
Looking out the window of the tenth-floor room, you don't feel superior.
Because the buildings in Sea Star City are often tens or even hundreds of feet tall.
In the distance, a ship slowly sailed into the ditch, carrying a densely packed crew of ordinary people who were bound to the ship like livestock.
Lan Yan frowned deeply. As expected, these Human Race were about to become food for the Sea Tribe.
While in the hall, Su Bai had actually seen the various Human Race -made foods on the tables of the Sea Tribe who were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
While Demon Star City wouldn't be so blatant, the Sea Tribe of Sea Star City completely disregard the human Human Race.
Seeing this, Su Bai Su Bai frowned slightly and said, "Alchemist Lan, I don't think this trip to the Merfolk Third Prince will be too smooth."
Seeking help from the Merfolk Third Prince is most likely just wishful thinking on the part of Master True Man He.
Such is the environment of the Sea Tribe; Su Bai doesn't believe that the Merfolk Third Prince would feel much gratitude simply because he received food as a favor.
"We have to try. This matter concerns the Feng Family. If we had other ways to obtain the spirit medicine, why would we have come all the way here?" Lan Yan said helplessly.
Su Bai nodded slightly. "Let's prepare for both possibilities. We'll go into the city later to inquire about the whereabouts of the Merfolk Third Prince, and while we're at it, see if we can purchase spirit medicine ourselves."
If all else fails, perhaps we'll have to make a trip to Demon Star City, Su Bai added to himself.
Lan Yan nodded in agreement.
Su Bai and Su Bai each moved to the beds on either side to meditate and recover their Spiritual Power and strength, and then went downstairs to begin their separate actions.
Su Bai first struck up a conversation with the Mermaid at the counter to inquire about the Merfolk Third Prince.
It was later learned that the Merfolk Race were a major clan among the Sea Tribe, and the current Priest of the Merfolk Race was Demon King Tier being, equivalent to Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Human Race.
The Merfolk Race Merfolk Race a very large and conspicuous settlement in Sea Star City.
Su Bai moved through the Sea Star City and soon found the Merfolk Race's settlement.
However, Su Bai did not enter directly. Instead, he walked around the Merfolk Race's settlement and inquired about the Merfolk Third Prince and the current situation of the Merfolk Race.
I learned some information about the daily life of the Merfolk Third Prince.
Merfolk are ferocious by nature and Merfolk race is powerful, with over a billion registered.
Their race has two leaders: the Merman Emperor and the Merman Priest.
The Merfolk Third Prince is the third son of the current Merman Emperor. His name is Cang Mingxiao, and Cangming is the surname of the Merman Royal Clan. His strength has reached the Demon General Level.
It is said that he received help from Human Race Cultivator when he broke through to the Demon General, and his breakthrough speed far exceeded that of his own people. Therefore, he has always been quite friendly to Human Race Cultivator.
The Merman Emperor had three sons. Cangming was the youngest, but because of his rapid advancement Bloodline Talent far surpassing his two older brothers, he was the most favored by the Merman Emperor.
He should have been designated as the heir to the throne long ago.
However, based on the information Su Bai obtained, it seems that the Merman Priest do not like Human Race Cultivator.
The successor to the Merman Emperor needs to receive the blessing of a priest.
Perhaps it was because of the conflict with the Merman Priest that Cang Mingxiao was delayed in being crowned the official successor to the Merman Emperor.
At this moment, Su Bai and his companion came forward seeking help, carrying a message from True Man He. It was still unknown how Cang Mingxiao would react.
