First Arrival in Xi Lai Kingdom of the Eastern Domain: Vast Sea Ring

After the initial shock, Jade Fork True Person immediately realized a problem - Sky Crossing Bird was gone!

It's over, the fake show has come true.

What can I do?

The key point is that if Xiao Chen is to be blamed for this matter, it makes no sense. The other party doesn't know that this is a test, so there is definitely no reason to hold back on his own initiative.

But even in Eastern Domain, the loss of the third-order Spirit Beast is undoubtedly a big deal.

To put it coldly, if the three Foundation Establishment Great Perfection monks Golden Haze Sect died, it might be easier to deal with.

But it happened to be the third-order Spirit Beast, and all three heads were gone.

Jade Fork True Person couldn't help but feel worried.

How should he explain to Returning Haze True Person waiting on the shore?

If there is a conflict between two people, which side should he take?

If you help Xiao Chen, you are likely to offend Golden Haze Sect and affect the entire Subduing Sea Sect.

But help Returning Haze True Person. Firstly, you are bullying your fellow villagers, and secondly, they are not being reasonable.

Especially the third point, which is also the most critical point, is that they may not be able to win a two-on-one fight.

Although Eastern Domain monks benefit from the help of various spiritual objects, secret techniques, Spirit Artifact and other external objects, their strength is generally much stronger than ordinary Demon Beast of the same level.

Under normal circumstances, it is enough to crush the Southern Domain monk.

But the problem is, Xiao Chen just killed Sky Crossing Bird like killing a chicken, and he doesn't look like a local.

"Fellow Daoist Yucha, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Chen turned around and came back, and saw the other party standing there blankly. "It's done, let's keep walking."

"Ah, yes, let's go."

Jade Fork True Person came back to his senses and forced a smile on his face, "Haha, I didn't expect that Flame Dragon Daoist really lives up to his name. This move Fire Control is really superb!"

"Awesome, so awesome."

Huh?

Xiao Chen looked at Jade Fork True Person and felt that the other party was not very happy.

But he didn't think much about it. After all, it was normal to be a little surprised when he saw True Yang Fire Dragon.

Before, whether it was on Li Province or He Province, there were many similar reactions.

However, the strange thing is that Jade Fork True Person did not come to talk to him in the next few days, and seemed to be suddenly busy again.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Chen just continues to review Law Technique and study the formation.

Before going ashore, I successfully trained <Receive Fire Treasure Talisman> to the Lesser Accomplishment Realm, and had a preliminary understanding of the battle path.

"Squeak~!"

With a harsh pulling sound, the anchor that fell into the water tightly grabbed Subduing Sea Ship and fixed it in front of the shore.

The distance is almost right, less than a few dozen feet from the land.

For monks, this distance is almost non-existent.

A few impatient monks even flew out directly and rushed into the wilderness in the distance, hoping to appreciate the legendary scenery of Eastern Domain as soon as possible.

They have completely overthought it. This place is still 1.22 million miles away from the Xi Lai Kingdom.

As early as an hour ago, there was already a group of monks waiting on the shore.

Some of them were responsible for receiving the goods, while the other part followed Foundation Establishment Cultivator as they disembarked, hoping to take the opportunity to sell spiritual items or purchase some Southern Domain specialties.

One thing always sells well - maps.

It was a very simple Eastern Domain map, with only some important landmarks Xi Lai Kingdom and Nether Sky Sea marked on it, and it dared to ask for a hundred Spirit Stone.

And it can sell hundreds of copies every time, and buyers will not feel that they are at a disadvantage.

But when I saw the note in the lower left corner of the map, I was shocked to realize that I still had several months to go.

At this time, a hawker will take the opportunity to sell Grain Avoidance Pill: "Fellow Daoist, there is nothing along the way. Bringing some elixirs is a guarantee."

Although the price is ten times more expensive than usual, the sales volume is often higher than that of the map.

Some monks will choose to go out and take a look first to see if the real situation is consistent with the map.

But it doesn't matter, there is really nothing outside. Sooner or later they have to come back for supplies, and they will also need to buy more Grain Avoidance Pill because of the delay.

Xiao Chen brought enough food with him early in the morning, but he was in no hurry to leave.

Golden Haze Sect's Returning Haze True Person is waiting on the shore, standing high in the sky without anger or authority.

Now that the other party has made an appearance, it would be more polite for people of the same Golden Core to meet each other and say hello.

However, he waited for a long time before Jade Fork True Person walked out with small steps.

Completely different from his usual striding style.

After seeing Xiao Chen, his eyes dodge even more. "Flame Dragon Daoist, cough, that is Returning Haze Daoist, who is also Outer Affairs Elder of the Golden Haze Sect."

"Well, I'll take you to get to know him."

Xiao Chen was a little curious when he heard this. His speaking style suddenly became weird, as if he was a different person.

The two of them did not wield swords, so they stepped forward directly in the air.

We introduced each other.

Returning Haze True Person narrowed his eyes slightly and said expressionlessly, "It turns out to be Flame Dragon Daoist. Nice to meet you."

His tone was calm and without any emotion.

But he didn't show any hostility, he just seemed to have a cold temper.

Jade Fork True Person on the side heard this and breathed a sigh of relief in surprise.

As long as they don't fight face to face, any future conflicts will be none of his business.

Especially since Returning Haze True Person didn't ask about the whereabouts of Sky Crossing Bird today, he was happy to pretend not to know.

Xiao Chen is a little confused. If you don't like dealing with strangers, then don't take the initiative.

What do you mean by standing here and showing off?

The other party's attitude was indifferent, so naturally he would not warm up to the cold butt. Instead, after a few pleasantries, he said goodbye and went on his way.

Returning Haze True Person looked at Xiao Chen's leaving back, and pressed his right hand directly on Spirit Beast Bag on his waist.

When Jade Fork True Person saw this detail, his brows jumped nervously.

Golden Haze Sect is the best at controlling beasts. Many disciples like to put their Spirit Beast into the special Spirit Beast Bag to carry around with them.

In other words, this move is tantamount to a Sword Cultivator holding the hilt of a sword, and the next moment may be a big battle.

Fortunately, Returning Haze True Person finally restrained his impulse and did not release Spirit Beast, but allowed Xiao Chen to leave smoothly.

Then he stood quietly in mid-air, like a sculpture.

Sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Jade Fork True Person also stayed aside and stood guard with him.

It wasn't until quite a while later that he finally couldn't help but ask, "Returning Haze Daoist, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we go have a drink first?"

It's really strange, the Returning Haze True Person in his memory is not like this.

The other party is obviously hospitable and well-spoken, otherwise he would not be selected as Outer Affairs Elder.

Why do you feel like a different person today?

Subduing Sea Ship returns to the Boundary Sea every three years.

We haven't seen each other for just over two years. Could it be that something big happened that he doesn't know about?

The next moment, Returning Haze True Person looked at Jade Fork True Person.

He asked solemnly, "Who is he?"

.

This question is a bit confusing.

However, Jade Fork True Person understood that this was asking about the identity of Xiao Chen: "Flame Dragon Daoist comes from the Li Fire Sect, one of Li Prefecture Three Sects, and he also has a letter sent to me by Daoist Yun Xiang, which is unmistakable."

Returning Haze True Person is responsible for connecting with Southern Domain, and has a certain understanding of the general structure there.

But he still asked, "What is his real name?"

"Real name?"

Jade Fork True Person frowned and said, "This... I don't know. However, the letter mentioned that you should take more care of Junior Brother Xiao. I think his surname should be Xiao."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

When he was asked this question, he felt relieved a little bit, but then he suddenly started to worry again.

"Last name is Xiao?"

Returning Haze True Person's tense body relaxed a little. "Are you sure you read it correctly?"

Jade Fork True Person directly pulled out the letter and checked it in person. "That's right, it's Junior Brother Xiao."

Returning Haze True Person even came closer and read the letter with his own eyes before shaking his head, "I see, it may be a misunderstanding."

"Hey, let's go for a walk and have a drink."

Since the last names are different, it must be that he recognized the wrong person.

There are so many people with similar body shapes in the world, so he must be too nervous.

It was such a mistake that he didn't have time to ask about Sky Crossing Bird.

Thanks to the past two years, the Spirit Beast breeding in the sect has made considerable progress, and the number of third-level Spirit Beast has successfully exceeded one hundred.

Given his status, he can still survive with three less for the time being.

After all, they are the ones who test others first, so let's forget it.

The two of them had not seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say at this time.

On the other side, Xiao Chen also bought a map and then left quickly along Merchant Route.

Although he has read many descriptions in various ancient books, for him now, there is no need to deliberately save these one hundred Spirit Stone.

After all, no matter how simple a map is, it is better than making up your own imagination.

Moreover, it also marks the rumored locations of the famous Gilded Secret Realm and Rising Haze Mountain, as well as several important islands where Nether Sky Sea's Chu, Wen, and Zhao families are located, etc.

This is all key information.

If you want to join in the fun, you can go to these places.

If people like Xiao Chen are just passing by, they can avoid these places and avoid a lot of troubles.

Different from others.

Thanks to the blessing of Hextech, it only took him eight days to enter the hinterland of the Golden Haze Sect.

"Looking from the map, this place is about 10,000 miles south, so it should be Rising Haze Mountain, right?"

This is Mao Shi, and the time is just right.

Xiao Chen followed the map southward and arrived at the outskirts of Rising Haze Mountain before sunrise.

After waiting for only a quarter of an hour, I saw a red sun rising from the horizon.

At the same time, in the valley not far away, there were also groups of fluffy clouds rising without wind, echoing the red sun in the sky.

Under the reflection of the rising sun, the colorful spiritual light is reflected, red as fierce flames, orange as warm as the sun, yellow as amber, green as emerald... shining and beautiful.

Not long after, the entire Rising Haze Mountain was shrouded in clouds, making it look like a dream and a fairyland on earth.

"It is indeed one of the rumored Eight Great Sceneries of the Eastern Domain. It is really picturesque and wonderful."

Any monk who has seen this scene can understand Golden Haze Sect Founding Ancestor why the sect was named after the word "xia" and why a palace was set up here.

But Xiao Chen didn't delay long.

He rested for a while while watching the sunrise and then continued on his way.

There was no further stop on the way, and we arrived at the Xi Lai Kingdom in one breath.

Xi Lai Kingdom is the super immortal dynasty established with the support of the Golden Haze Sect.

There are trillions of mortals living in it, divided into hundreds of thousands of counties, large and small, and countless villages.

Each county will send disciples to assist the sect in selecting Immortal Seedling.

This is very efficient and does not need to be like Eastern Domain. Many people have to wait until they are eighteen years old to have the opportunity to test Spirit Root and enter the immortal gate.

Most children can complete the test before the age of fourteen and start practicing as early as possible.

Xiao Chen crosses the city along the way and goes straight to Imperial Capital.

He didn't actually plan to come here at first, but unexpectedly learned from Subduing Sea Ship that there are actually branches of the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion and Ever Prosperous Quarter here.

In this case, it is still worth coming over to see if you can buy Storage Ring nearby.

Although Imperial Capital was built with several main streets as wide as 20 feet, the streets were still bustling with people and people.

Most of them are monks with a certain level of cultivation.

From time to time, Foundation Establishment Cultivator passes by, and everyone is used to it.

Especially in the middle, two pathways were specially drawn with red paint for Spirit Beast or carriages and horses to walk.

Just looking at Xiao Chen, there are different mounts such as Jade Hoof Treasure Horse, Wild Pattern Mammoth, Golden Horned Ox, Mountain Supporting Alligator Turtle, etc.

In addition, Heavy Ring Python, Blood Crested Golden Eagle, Blue Eyed Toad, Purple Faced White Ape... and so on Spirit Beast are even more numerous and numerous.

Some monks also have cricket cages hanging around their waists, and some even have more than one.

He remembered what was said in <Eastern Travelogue> that in some of the areas where Xi Lai Kingdom was located, there was a custom of fighting crickets and betting on lottery results.

If it is near water, change it to Spirit Fish or Spirit Boat.

Xiao Chen walked on the street, deliberately concealing his breath. He did not rush to find a store, but walked patiently for two quarters of an hour.

During the process, I kept my ears open and listened to the various messages being discussed around me.

"Shopkeeper, has the Seven Feather Fur I ordered arrived?"

"Oh, Daoist Zhang, I'm really sorry. Princess An Ping is getting married, and all Seven Feather Fur have been used up. You may have to wait a little longer."

"Didn't this Black Rock Powder increase in price just half a year ago? Why did it increase in price again?"

"Oh, I heard that High Merit Elder is Five Thunder Temple, and he wants to put up a big altar. Since the Chinese New Year, Black Rock Sea hasn't sent out a box of new Black Rock Powder, and there's nothing we can do."

"Brother Li, please give me ten more copies of Spirit Herb to refine Qi Nourishing Pill, and settle the bill together with the ten copies from last time."

"Okay, I'll charge you a total of sixty yuan Spirit Stone."

"Hey, wait a minute, is the price of Qi Nourishing Grass reduced again? Then what is the price of Qi Gathering Grass now?"

"The price dropped to 20 Spirit Stone half a year ago, and Qi Gathering Grass is now cheaper than 2 Spirit Stone per copy. Does Brother Zhao want to sell a few copies of Hand Training?"

"If there is such a thing, then I want three more, no, five more Spirit Herb to refine Qi Gathering Pill."

Twenty Spirit Stone?

Xiao Chen heard Qi Nourishing Pill and subconsciously paid attention to it.

Listening to what they mean, the price of Basic Spirit Herbs here at Eastern Domain has been reduced to about half of that of Southern Domain.

Boy, is this too exaggerated?

If the price of elixirs decreases, there will undoubtedly be more monks who can obtain cheap elixirs to help them practice, thereby improving the overall cultivation level of Eastern Domain.

If the selling price of the elixir remains unchanged, wouldn't the profits explode directly?

The first-level elixir is like this, but what about the second-level elixir?

.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen accelerated his pace slightly.

Turning the corner, a Golden Eagle jade-built attic appeared in front of him.

The building is six stories high, and there is a large signboard hanging between the first and second floors with three big characters on it - Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion.

There were several intellectuals standing at the door, divided into two rows of men and women.

But he didn't make any noise to solicit guests, he just straightened his chest and raised his head, like a sculpture.

It wasn't until he walked into the store that a female intellectual followed behind him, but she deliberately kept her distance about eight feet away.

He didn't say anything, just followed quietly.

Seeing Xiao Chen turning back to look at her, he quickly stepped forward and made a blessing ceremony. "Do you have any orders, sir?"

"Excuse me, where is the elixir?"

"The first-order elixir is on the northwest side of the second floor, and the second-order elixir is on the southwest side of the third floor."

"Okay, thank you."

Xiao Chen asked about the location and got up and went upstairs. The female intellectual was two steps behind and followed her to the stairwell of the second floor without going any further.

The northwest corner of the second floor is indeed filled with all kinds of first-order elixirs.

Below the different types of elixirs, the names and latest prices are posted in black letters Red Paper.

Qi Nourishing Pill--two Spirit Stone and three Spirit Pearl.

Qi Gathering Pill--Spirit Stone.

Five-Colored Harmony Origin Pill--Six Spirit Stone.

Spirit Pearl is a kind of small pearl circulated by Eastern Domain. Its function is similar to Spiritual Sand of Southern Domain.

Most of the time, ten Spirit Pearl can be exchanged for one Spirit Stone. Occasionally, the value will depreciate slightly, reaching a ratio of twelve to one.

This means that the price of Eastern Domain's elixir is basically half cheaper than Southern Domain.

Xiao Chen also noticed during the process that Returning Spring Pill even sold six Spirit Pearl.

You know, this is the price within the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion. If you go to a street stall in the market to buy it, it will definitely be cheaper.

"Oh, I thought I could make a lot of money."

He was a little disappointed. After all, if he sold it at the original price, it would be equivalent to a lot more profit.

But in fact, this is normal. The price of Southern Domain's elixir basically follows the price of Spirit Herb.

The principle here is also very simple, mainly due to two factors.

First of all, there are actually quite a few low-end Alchemists.

In order to facilitate the withdrawal of funds, it has become common to buy more spirit medicine to practice Pill Dao and actively lower the price for promotions.

Over time, the price of finished elixirs has been suppressed to the point where there is almost no profit margin.

Secondly, only spirit medicine grown in Spirit Field can be taxed easily.

After becoming the Pill Formation drug, no force can effectively supervise various private transactions.

It is better to simply increase the rental fee of Spirit Field and obtain profits from the source.

There are often cases where Spirit Planters works for a year, but in the end he only earns a hard-earned money, most of which is taken away by the major sects or Lineage.

"It's better to go take a look at the second-level elixir."

Xiao Chen went up to the third floor, wanting to see if the second-order elixir would be any different.

As a result, he saw Essence Solidifying Pill at a glance, and it was clearly marked below - limited time special offer, 90 Spirit Stone per bottle.

Good guy, not only is the price reduced by half, but it's also discounted again by 10%.

"Huh?"

He originally thought that all the elixirs here should be affordable, but he unexpectedly discovered that the price of Meridian Protecting Pill was not quite right.

"One thousand Spirit Stone each? Real or fake?"

As a lower substitute for the Foundation Establishment pill, Meridian Protecting Pill can only protect the monk's heart from being damaged after he fails to attack Foundation Establishment, and he can start over again.

Xiao Chen I remember that at Southern Domain, it can usually be sold for seven to eight hundred yuan Spirit Stone.

Unexpectedly, Eastern Domain sold here is more expensive than Southern Domain.

You must know that the raw materials of Meridian Protecting Pill are not as precious as Five-Colored Golden Lotus. Although the cost is not low, they can all be cultivated in Spirit Field.

He walked to the stairs and asked Zhike: "Is there any Spirit Herb made from Meridian Protecting Pill for sale here?"

"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll ask you something."

Zhike quickly went to First Floor, and then returned with a steward. "Sorry, Spirit Herb of Meridian Protecting Pill has been sold out."

"And this year there is no more."

"If the guest officer needs it, he may have to book next year's share in advance."

?

Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion is a time-honored brand that is almost everywhere in Eastern Domain. It is no exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands of chain stores. How can it be sold out?

Being looked at by Xiao Chen with surprised eyes, the steward seemed to feel a little confused on his face.

So he explained softly, "Please don't get me wrong, sir, we are not the only ones who have sold out."

"Since the year before last, the price of Meridian Protecting Pill has suddenly skyrocketed, and other stores have long been out of stock."

"Before next year's spirit medicine is collected, there will basically be no related Spirit Herb circulating on the market."

He thought for a while and added, "If the guest is in urgent need, we can arrange a reward through the main building."

"Hundred Herbs Secret Realm happened to be opened in November this year, and there may be some Spirit Herb for sale."

Behind the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion is Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The so-called bounty is not only for people, but also for objects. In fact, it is equivalent to issuing a commission on the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is a very large casual cultivator alliance, with members almost all over Eastern Domain.

The headquarters is located at Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago, southeast of the Nether Sky Sea Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Many travel notes have mentioned that Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago really has tens of thousands of islands, and almost every island is inhabited by monks.

Many years ago, some good people counted that there were more than 20,000 Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the entire archipelago.

On some large islands where third-level Spirit Vein are distributed, there are even Golden Core Lineage.

As the saying goes, if there are too many monks, there will always be some with extraordinary talents.

Ever since Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago gave birth to a local Nascent Soul True Lord who didn't know how many years ago, he took the lead in establishing an alliance to unite casual cultivators to resist the oppression of other sects.

Although his idea was good, he quickly gained support from a large number of casual practitioners.

However, due to the lack of high-end combat power and the confusion and difficulty in unifying internal opinions, it ultimately failed to annex the other sects.

However, the large framework of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was preserved and gradually turned into a special force without a leader.

In other words, it is more similar to a semi-public platform with a bounty system.

"Forget it then. Is Storage Ring available for sale here?"

Since Meridian Protecting Pill has no chance, Xiao Chen is thinking about business.

The steward's tone suddenly became more respectful. "Our store currently only has Third-Tier Storage Ring, which one does your guest need?"

Eastern Domain also has Second-Tier Storage Ring for Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

But the price is more expensive than Third-Tier Storage Ring, and it usually has to be customized.

"What I want is Third-Tier Storage Ring."

Xiao Chen asked, "What kind are in stock, how big is the internal space, and how many Spirit Stone are needed?"

"Your guest is invited upstairs!"

The manager couldn't help but bend his waist. "Currently, there are two types of Storage Ring in the store, namely the famous Vast Sea Ring and the specially customized Xi Lai Ring."

"Vast Sea Ring is three feet square and is priced at 300,000 Spirit Stone. There is no discount for the time being."

"Xi Lai Ring is eight feet square and sells for 40,000 Spirit Stone."

"You can also get a 10% discount on purchases this month."

Good guy, it's really not cheap.

"Then it's Vast Sea Ring, take it out for me."

The eight-foot space is too small, so Xiao Chen simply chose the larger one.
