Fairy Green Lotus, Young Master Taixu
Seven days later, Shen Long left his residence and strolled around the streets.
He consulted the books he had purchased and compared them with the books Han Xuewei had given him; the books Han Xuewei had given him contained more comprehensive information.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Long appeared at the entrance of a magnificent palace. The plaque above the entrance read "Teleportation Hall." There was a large Teleportation Array here that could transport one to the North Sea Cultivation World.
Many cultivators entered and exited the Teleportation Hall, most of them Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Shen Long walked in and was greeted by a spacious and bright hall. Inside the hall were two Teleportation Array, each a hundred feet in size. People were constantly being teleported in and out.
Shen Long paid 10,000 Spirit Stone and walked to a Teleportation Array. After gathering ten people, the guard cast a spell into the Teleportation Array, and the Teleportation Array shook slightly.
A blinding burst of spiritual light shot into the sky, engulfing Shen Long and the others.
After a slight dizziness, Shen Long regained his senses and found himself in a spacious and bright hall with two Teleportation Array, each a hundred feet in size.
Shen Long walked outside and out of the main hall. He found himself standing on the top of a steep mountain peak, where he could see a huge city with buildings like a forest and many cultivators moving about.
The peak is located within the giant city, where many areas are protected by powerful restrictions. A blue stone staircase extends from the summit to the foot of the mountain.
Shen Long walked down the mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, a plump man in a blue robe walked quickly over, bowed, and said, "Junior He Hai, senior, do you need a guide? Only one hundred Spirit Stone."
Shen Long took out one hundred Spirit Stone and handed them to He Hai, instructing, "Lead the way! Give me a tour of the Marketplace."
"Yes, senior."
He Hai, all smiles, gestured for them to proceed and led the way.
He Hai led the way and introduced things as he went. Shen Long would ask questions, He Hai would answer them without hesitation.
They are currently on Zishan Island, an island controlled by the Han family and the largest Marketplace in the Coral Sea Region.
There are more than 10,000 islands in the Coral Sea Region. The Han family controls more than 6,000 islands, and the Su Family controls more than 4,000 islands. Both the Han and Su Family are among the Eight Great Powers of the North Sea.
The Han family has a history of over a million years and a profound heritage, Su Family is a rising new force.
More than 30,000 years ago, the Four Seas Alliance dominated the North Sea Cultivation World. With two Spirit Transformation cultivators, other forces obeyed and dared not disobey the orders of the Four Seas Alliance, and the Han family was no exception.
The Four Seas Alliance acts domineeringly, and other forces dare not speak out against it.
After the disappearance of the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Four Seas Alliance, the Han family joined forces with other forces to destroy the Four Seas Alliance, and the Su Family rose to prominence in this battle.
The Su Family was originally just a small Lineage, with the highest cultivation level being only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Then, a clansman named Su Nishang, who possessed a Heavenly Spirit Root, emerged. She was proficient in Fire Element Divine Ability, had great Divine Ability, and also had a Black Phoenix.
Su Nishang advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm in less than four hundred years. In the war against the Four Seas Alliance, Su Nishang, with her fourth-order Black Phoenix, killed a total of five Nascent Soul Cultivator, making her famous in the North Sea Cultivation World and establishing the status of the Su Family.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain. The Su Family and the Han family are enemies, but both families have maintained restraint, and the conflict has been limited to a certain extent. Nascent Soul Cultivator will not make a move.
The North Sea Cultivation World has hundreds of sea areas. The Coral Sea Region is located in the rear, where high-level Demon Beast are relatively rare. To hunt high-level Demon Beast, one must go to the Outer Sea.
The North Sea Cultivation World is divided into the Outer Sea. The Inner Sea sea refers to the territory occupied by Human Race cultivators, which generally refers to hundreds of sea areas. The Outer Sea generally refers to undeveloped sea areas with abundant Demon Beast resources. Fourth-order Flood Dragon usually appear in the Outer Sea Outer Sea, and even fifth-order Demon Beast can appear there.
The last time a fifth-tier Demon Beast appeared in the Outer Sea was more than five hundred years ago.
Beast tides erupt periodically in the North Sea Cultivation World. Generally speaking, only small-scale beast tides erupt in the Inner Sea, led by at most Third-Rank Spirit Beast. Large Beast Tide erupt periodically in the Outer Sea, led by at least Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast.
More than 500 years ago, Large Beast Tide broke out in the Outer Sea. Led by a fifth-order Demon Beast, it killed dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivator. It was only after the True Monarch Taihao of the North Sea Cultivation World personally intervened that the fifth-order Demon Beast was driven back.
True Monarch Taihao is Spirit Transformation cultivator, originally Rogue Cultivator, and the leader of the Ten Immortals of the North Sea. Rogue Cultivator can even cultivate to the Spirit Transmutation Realm, which shows how abundant the cultivation resources are in the North Sea Cultivation World.
After a short while, He Hai stopped. Not far away stood an eighteen-story pavilion with a blue plaque bearing the three golden characters "Lost Immortal Pavilion, meaning "Bewitching Immortal Pavilion"). The plaque shimmered with spiritual light, indicating that it was a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact.
"Senior, this is a great place. You can come here to relax when you have nothing to do."
He Hai had a lewd look on his face.
"The Lost Immortal Pavilion? What kind of place is that?"
Shen Long asked curiously, since Han Xuewei hadn't mentioned this shop to him.
"A place where cultivators fall into depravity. Hmph, cultivators who indulge in such places have no future."
A disdainful female voice rang out.
Shen Long looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall girl in a dark green lotus dress. She had a delicate oval face, long and slender eyebrows, a straight nose, rosy lips, and skin as smooth as jade. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, giving her an aura that was not to be trifled with.
Judging from the aura of the Green-Robed Maiden, she possesses the cultivation level of the Core Formation Mid Stage.
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. This young master just likes to have fun here."
A loud male voice rang out from the Lost Immortal Pavilion.
As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young man in white robes stepped out. The young man was tall and had a white jade belt around his waist with a white jade pendant with a coiled dragon hanging from it. Judging from his aura, he also had the cultivation level of the Core Formation Mid Stage.
"Hmph, we'll talk when you can squeeze into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking."
The Green-Robed Maiden snorted coldly and strode away.
The young man in white looked at Shen Long and said with a smile, "New goods have arrived, fellow Daoist, you can try them out."
After saying this, the young man in white strode away.
Shen Long was completely confused and looked at He Hai, He Hai quickly explained.
After hearing He Hai's explanation, Shen Long suddenly understood. The Lost Immortal Pavilion was somewhat similar to brothels in the secular world. The difference was that, regardless of gender, any cultivator could visit the Lost Immortal Pavilion. The Lost Immortal Pavilion had both male and female cultivators, while the patrons of brothels in the secular world were mainly men.
The cultivators working at the Lost Immortal Pavilion are not highly skilled; most are Qi Refining Cultivator, some are Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but none are Core Formation Cultivator.
"In the North Sea Cultivation World, those with Spirit Stone are kings. If you think it's too expensive, you can just buy it directly. As long as you can afford the price, you can even buy Nascent Soul Formation Pill."
He Hai said.
Shen Long was somewhat surprised and asked, "You can even buy Nascent Soul Formation Pill?"
"Yes! But it has to be settled with Top-Grade Spirit Stone, not even High-Grade Spirit Stone. You can also exchange it with rare materials, but very few people can get Nascent Soul Formation Pill at Auction."
He Hai said.
"Do you know those two Core Formation Cultivator from earlier?"
Shen Long continued to ask.
"They are Fairy Green Lotus and Young Master Taixu. Fairy Green Lotus ranks thirty-fifth on the Hundred Flowers Ranking, and Young Master Young Master Taixu ranks seventieth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. He is also the young sect master of the Void Sect, and his great-grandfather was the sect master of the Void Sect."
He Hai said.
"Core Formation Mid Stage cultivator, ranked so low!"
Shen Long asked in surprise.
The Hundred Flowers Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking are lists compiled by busybodies. Both lists contain a hundred people, and the lowest level for those on the list is the Golden Core Realm, since strength is paramount in the cultivation Immortal Realm.
The Hundred Flowers Ranking lists one hundred female cultivators with extraordinary Divine Ability, while the Hidden Dragon Ranking comprises one hundred male cultivators with powerful Divine Ability. These rankings are for reference only; a high-ranking cultivator can be killed by a lower-ranking one—such examples are not uncommon. After all, the person who compiled the rankings could not possibly know the true strength and hidden abilities of every cultivator.
The cultivators who make it onto the list must possess considerable strength.
