Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the [Immortal Talent Reflection] in Su Bai's mind was refreshed.

[Name]: Su Bai

[Spirit Root Talent]: Single Spirit Root (Lightning)

[Sword Dao Talent]: Clear Heart Enlightenment Root (Yellow Tier Coordination)

[Spell Talent]: Ice Attribute Spell Talent (Beyond Third-tier), Thunder Soul Resonance (Mysterious Tier)

[Immortal Talent Reflection]: Survey 1/1, Copy 1/1.

[Alchemy Talent]: Candle Heart Reflecting Fire (Yellow Tier)

With Single Spirit Root aptitude, one Mysterious Tier Talent, and multiple Yellow Tier Talent, in the Cultivation World, few can surpass Su Bai in terms of Talent alone.

Su Bai resisted the urge to casually Survey a Sea Tribe to see if he could Copy their Demon Race Bloodline.

In fact, Su Bai had already had a similar idea when he was in Demon Star City, but at that time [Immortal Talent Reflection] had not yet been refreshed.

If he could Copy the Demon Race Bloodline, then Su Bai could truly achieve all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, and aesthetics while cultivating immortality in this world, making him invincible among his peers with ease.

"It seems we have no choice but to go to the Merfolk Race's territory." Su Bai murmured to himself in the room.

Lan Yan nodded slightly. "You will lead the discussion with Cang Mingxiao."

Over the past few days, Lan Yan has discovered that Su Bai's intelligence-gathering abilities far surpass his own.

As expected of someone who came from Overseas Rogue Cultivator background, he was extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the Cultivation World, unlike him who had been refining pills in Heavenly Star City since childhood and was quite unaccustomed to a place like Sea Star City.

During these five days, Su Bai and Lan Yan did nothing but gather information about the Merfolk Race.

They were also trying to find a place to buy spirit medicine within Sea Star City.

The truth is, the Sea Tribe do not refine pills, and there are no spirit medicine in Sea Star City.

When Sea Tribe discover heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they either swallow them directly or keep them as tribute to the clan's leaders; they would never sell them.

To do business with Human Race, one must choose a cultivation Lineage like the Ning Clan, which is located around Sea Star City and has a subordinate relationship with the Sea Tribe. The initiative is entirely in the hands of the Sea Tribe.

Even if the Fifth Rank- and sixth-tier spirit medicine that Su Bai and his companion needed existed, they could only be controlled by powerful figures in the Sea Tribe.

As for Human Race Cultivator, being able to move freely within Sea Star City is already considered good; trying to purchase spirit medicine from the Sea Tribe bigwigs? They'd be lucky if the bigwigs didn't just swallow them spirit medicine.

Therefore, five days later, after extensive investigations, the two, having ultimately found nothing, still had to head to the Merfolk Race's encampment in Sea Star City.

Seek help from the Merfolk Third Prince Cang Mingxiao, to see if he can assist in obtaining the three spirit medicine needed by True Man He.

The Survey lasted five days.

Su Bai was already quite familiar with the layout of Starfish City, so he no longer wandered around like a headless fly as he had on his first day.

Before long, the two arrived at the Merfolk Race's encampment in Sea Star City.

With Merfolk Race exceeding one billion and their own underwater kingdom, it's impossible for all Merfolk to live in the Sea Star City settlement.

The residents of the Sea Star City settlement are all Elite Merfolk Race, and the settlement is currently under the control of the Third Prince, Cang Mingxiao.

For the Sea Tribe, Sea Star City is more like a base connecting them to the terrestrial Cultivation World.

All the major Sea Tribe have established Stronghold at this base.

Su Bai and Lan Yan, two Human Race Cultivator wearing Veiled Hat and Robe, landed in front of the encampment and were immediately stopped by two Merfolk guards.

Merfolk are half-human and half-fish, and their physical appearance is quite similar to that of Human Race.

The two Merfolk guards had bluish skin with a mother-of-pearl luster, and faint blue veins resembling ocean veins were visible beneath their skin.

The eyes have no eyelids, but are covered by a transparent nictitating membrane; the pupils are vertical like a shark's, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light.

Both Merfolk guards were about 2.5 meters tall, and their powerful physical aura could be easily sensed; they possessed cultivation levels at least comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm of Human Race.

"You two Human Race, daring to approach the Merfolk's territory without permission, are you perhaps courting death?"

The Sea Tribe ' unique fishy smell made Su Bai and his companion instantly recognized them as Human Race by the Merfolk guards.

Su Bai cupped his hands slightly and took out the Merfolk Race Token provided by True Man He, presenting it to himself using his Object Manipulation Technique.

"This is Token given by the Third Prince to my master."

"My master, True Man He, has a past relationship with the Third Prince. I hope you two Merfolk Big Brother can help inform him that my fellow disciples and I have important business to discuss with the Third Prince," Su Bai said, neither arrogant nor humble.

The Token given by Cang Mingxiao was of a very high level.

The Merfolk guard glanced at it, his expression subtly changing.

"You all wait here, I'll go and inform them."

One of the Merfolk guards darted into the encampment.

A moment later, the Merfolk guard returned. "The Third Prince wants you to come with me!"

Su Bai and Lan Yan exchanged a glance and followed the Merfolk guards.

Inside the Merfolk Race's territory, the houses and floors, made of some unknown material, gave off a chilling, sticky, and damp feeling upon entering.

Following the figures of the Merfolk guards, Su Bai and his companion soon arrived at a Merfolk hall within the encampment.

At the entrance to the main hall is the head of a gigantic sea monster, its mouth, dozens of feet wide, seemingly ready to devour anyone who steps inside.

Lan Yan had never seen such a scene before and clearly felt uncomfortable; his body stiffened.

Stepping into the main hall, the dampness became even more pronounced.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought!"

The Merfolk guard in front suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of the high seat, which was a dozen feet away.

Suddenly, Su Bai felt a surge of emotion within his Sword Heart, and an undisguised sense of being watched by a powerful being swirled between him and Lan Yan.

"True Man He's Disciple?"

A deep, muffled sound came from behind.

The once empty throne was now occupied by a tall figure with both hands supporting the throne.

Its appearance is similar to that of an ordinary Merfolk, but its earlobes extend into semi-transparent fin-like shapes and are covered with nerve fibers that can sense subtle breaths.

Its size was even more exaggerated, reaching nearly five meters.

A simple jacket covered his vitals, and his exposed Dark Azure body was taut like an old tree with bulging veins. Even though he was sitting there motionless, others could feel the terrifying power contained within his body.

Su Bai and Lan Yan were alright, but the Merfolk guards in front of them, who were also Merfolk Race, were already trembling under the pressure of their Bloodline.

Su Bai took a deep breath, held the Token in his hands, and said loudly, "Lu Jiu, Disciple of True Man He, greets His Highness the Third Prince!"

The Lan Yan on one side followed suit with the salute.

"Hmm, it is indeed Token I sent." Cang Mingxiao glanced at the Token and slowly said.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Su Bai secretly activated the [Immortal Talent Reflection] ability to Survey the Merfolk Third Prince.
