Chapter 1276 The Holy Scale Clan
A few days later, Xiao Lin flew out of the Hidden Mist Valley, hiding his body. After flying hundreds of miles away from Taoyuan Island, he turned eastward.
Xiao Lin's destination was the largest city in the Desolate Sea, Baidi Immortal City.
After flying for most of the day, Xiao Lin finally saw a huge island appearing on the horizon. This island was like a continent, stretching for at least hundreds of thousands of miles, with no end in sight.
The mountains on this island were undulating and continuous, most of which were in uncivilized primitive forests, with dangerous mountains and ravines scattered throughout.
The most conspicuous was a magnificent city built on a towering peak near the sea.
The entire city was snow-white, standing on the top of the mountain, and from Xiao Lin's angle, he could only see the bottom of the city, half of which was submerged in the sea of clouds.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin immediately raised his escape light, and at the moment of passing through the white clouds, Xiao Lin saw a beautiful scenery.
Countless wooden buildings stand in the city, but because the bottom is covered by white clouds, at first glance, it looks like a heavenly palace, with a bit of fairyland.
Even Xiao Lin was amazed. In the mortal world, the demons are not familiar with construction and are not good at refining weapons, so the cities of the demons are usually built with stones, just like a dilapidated city.
And in this desolate sea area, there is such a magnificent fairy city, which really surprised Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin galloped in the white clouds, and many escape lights appeared around him. The cultivators wrapped in these escape lights also looked different, most of them were strange-looking demons.
After the demons just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, they hated other cultivators comparing them with demon beasts, but because they had just transformed into human form, they still retained many demon beast characteristics.
Some of them had a pair of animal ears, some had horns on their heads, and some even had a human body with a monster's head. What's more outrageous is that some demon cultivators are directly half human and half demon.
This situation usually occurs after the advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, when the demon base is unstable. It is usually difficult for such demon cultivators to make further progress in their realm.
Of course, there are also some that have a more perfect transformation. Usually, after the demon race advances to the God stage, the demon race characteristics on their bodies are basically completely gone, and some demon races with extraordinary talents can even shed all the characteristics of demon beasts in the Nascent Soul stage, and they are no different from humans.
Xiao Lin also knows that in the spiritual world, although the human race is declining, the human body is recognized as the Tao body in the world of immortal cultivation. Many races will transform into human form after advancing to a certain realm, because such a body is most suitable for cultivation.
Even in legends, after truly cultivating to the realm of true immortals, even some immortals will transform into human bodies, and it is not an illusion. Unless they encounter great danger, they will restore their original form and display their innate magical powers. The higher the realm, the greater the burden of each manifestation of the original form for these cultivators. If the number of manifestations of the original form increases, it will even affect the foundation.
Of course, these are all speculations that Xiao Lin saw in some ancient books. He has no way of knowing whether they are true or not.
Unless one day he can ascend to the fairyland and see the real immortals, he will understand.
So Xiao Lin flew towards Baidi Immortal City. He did not attract any strange looks along the way. Many demons in the God Transformation Stage look exactly like humans. If he was not sure that this was the sea controlled by the demons, Xiao Lin would think that these were humans of the same race as himself.
Soon Xiao Lin pressed the escape light and landed at the gate of Baidi City. The whole Baidi City was shrouded in a huge light shield, which flashed with the light of glass, showing gold, red and blue.
When Xiao Lin landed at the gate of the city, he immediately felt a strong spiritual energy coming from the gate.
"Such a pure spiritual energy?" Xiao Lin showed a surprised expression on his face. The spiritual energy in this city actually contained a very rich fairy spirit, which meant that there was at least one fairy spirit vein underground in Baidi City.
And from the three-color glazed light shield on Baidi City, Xiao Lin speculated that the fairy spirit vein underground was likely a third-level fairy spirit vein.
It was no wonder that there were so many transformed demon cultivators here.
Xiao Lin secretly admired it in his heart. The resources of this spiritual world were indeed incomparable to those in the mortal world. In the mortal world, there might not be a dragon spirit ancestral vein in the entire sea of monsters. This led to the fact that among the demon race, the number of low-level demon races was countless, but the number of demon cultivators who could truly transform was much smaller.
This desolate sea area is different. All the people coming and going are demon cultivators in the transformation stage. Such a large number of transformation demon cultivators will inevitably give birth to more powerful demon cultivators in the transformation, refining and even tribulation stages. It is no wonder that the demon race can dominate the four domains and become a super tribe on the Holy Moon Continent.
In contrast, the human race is much more miserable. They live in the barbaric land of the Northern Sky Fragmented Realm. There is not even a fairy vein in the race. How can Xiao Lin not sigh.
The gate of Baidi Immortal City is wide open and there is no guard.
Xiao Lin walked directly into the city with a swagger, which made Xiao Lin look at it with new eyes. For other immortal cities, the entrance fee is also a considerable income, but this Baidi Immortal City directly waives it, which can be said to be rich and powerful.
Xiao Lin stepped into the fairy city and immediately saw a lively scene.
In this Baidi fairy city, people of various races made Xiao Lin dazzled. Xiao Lin even saw many people from the Flash Wing tribe, shuttling among the crowd. There were also many people from the Flash Wing tribe working in the shops on both sides.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also saw a strange race. The whole body of this race was almost the same as that of the human race, but their cheeks, necks and exposed arms were covered with sparse golden scales.
Especially at their brows, there were three golden scales in the shape of leaves stacked together, which looked very unique.
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, because he felt the same blood and qi from these people as that produced by the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique he practiced.
This really surprised Xiao Lin.
The Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique was obtained by him from the mortal world, and its origin is unknown. Xiao Lin had also verified it in detail with Yuan Hong's father. Yuan Hong's father only knew that this technique was accidentally obtained by his ancestor in a relic, and he knew nothing about the origin of the technique.
Xiao Lin could only let it go, but he didn't expect to see a clue here.
"Senior, I am Shan Xin, the junior. I wonder if you need a guide. Shan Xin dare not say anything else, but I am familiar with every corner of this Baidi Immortal City as if it were my own home, and the price is reasonable and fair, only ten low-grade spirit stones are needed every day."
At this time, a woman with a pair of flashing wings flashing behind her came over, bowed and saluted, and then spoke.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but look at the woman when he heard it.
This woman is also a member of the Flash Wing tribe like Shan Zhongyuan. The Flash Wing tribe does not open the Dantian, so they cannot practice immortal arts, but their talent for short-distance movement still allows them to do many low-end jobs.
Xiao Lin understood that he had just entered Baidi Immortal City, and his curious expression must have attracted the attention of the woman of the Flash Wings, so she came up to him.
Moreover, Xiao Lin saw that there were four or five people of the Flash Wings around him, staring at him closely, with some expectations on their faces.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin knew that if he rejected this woman, others would rush over to ask immediately. Obviously, they had reached a tacit understanding to avoid multiple people asking at the same time, causing dissatisfaction among customers and thus causing no one to be hired.
Xiao Lin nodded and smiled, "Okay, you'll do it."
The woman immediately showed a surprised expression when she heard this, and thanked him repeatedly, and the people around her left in disappointment after seeing Xiao Lin agreed.
"What race are those people with golden scales on their bodies?" Xiao Lin asked.
"Replying to the Immortal Envoy, they are from the Holy Scale Clan, and they are born with strong bodies. Before they are ten years old, they look no different from us. After they are ten years old, they begin to grow these fine golden scales one after another, and their strength and body will increase day by day. Moreover, the Holy Scale Clan are natural body refining geniuses. Even a very ordinary body refining technique can exert extraordinary combat power in their hands."
"Holy Scale Clan?" Xiao Lin's heart moved. The body refining technique he practiced was called the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, and this race with golden scales on their bodies was also called the Holy Scale Clan.
Could it be that the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique was really related to this race?
Xiao Lin kept thinking in his heart.
"The Holy Scale Clan is also like our Flash Wing Clan. They cannot practice immortal arts, but they can practice body refining arts, and they are extremely talented in body refining. Therefore, almost everyone in the Holy Scale Clan has practiced body refining arts, and they are extremely powerful. Some low-level immortals may not be their opponents. I heard that some geniuses in their clan can even practice their bodies to the holy level with just some low-level body refining arts, and can fight many powerful immortals. However, the Holy Scale Clan is usually very low-key, and their clan elders have also issued orders not to fight with immortals, otherwise they will be severely punished. Therefore, although we know that the Holy Scale Clan has strong bodies, few people know how strong they are."
Xiao Lin stopped Dan Xin's explanation and roughly understood the Holy Scale Clan's approach. Even if a body refiner practices his body to the holy level, he can compete with ordinary spirit transformation or even early stage refining cultivators, but if he encounters a fusion cultivator, he is still vulnerable.
After all, no matter how strong the physical body is, it is difficult to directly withstand the blow of the immortal treasure that the cultivator has refined for thousands of times.
In this case, if a certain immortal cultivator clan is annoyed, then the Holy Scale Clan is likely to face the risk of being exterminated.
Xiao Lin also became interested in the Holy Scale Clan. He wanted to know whether the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art he practiced was related to the Holy Scale Clan, because the golden scales on their bodies were almost exactly the same as the scales that emerged when he performed the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art, and even the shape of the golden scales on his cheeks was very similar.
"Where is the clan of the Holy Scale Clan?" Xiao Lin suddenly asked.
Shan Xin was slightly stunned, and seemed to be a little puzzled as to why the immortal envoy in front of him was so interested in the Holy Scale Clan.
But she still replied respectfully: "The Holy Scale Clan is very scattered, and exists on many islands in our Desolate Sea. However, when it comes to their clan land, it is said to be near the Chaotic Sea in the southeast of the Desolate Sea, but Dan Xin is not very clear about the specific location. Moreover, this Chaotic Sea is full of turbulence and various storm disasters. Those of us who have not practiced immortal arts rarely go there, and even the people of the Holy Scale Clan rarely go there. If the immortal envoy wants to know the exact location, I can ask some friends of the Holy Scale Clan in the city."
After hearing this, Xiao Lin nodded: "There is no rush. You can ask when you have time. Now take me to some larger businesses in the city. I need to buy some things."
"Okay, senior, please follow me."
Xiao Lin followed Dan Xin and walked towards the city. The scope of the Baidi Immortal City is not small. If he was asked to find it by himself, he might not be able to find the place in a few days.
Under Shan Xin's guidance, they arrived at an area in the east of the city in less than half an hour. There were many attics here, and each attic was more than three stories high.
"This is the core business district of the entire Baidi City, gathering almost all the large-scale businesses in the Desolate Sea. Some businesses are even very famous in the entire Holy Moon Continent. Stores have also opened in the core fairy cities of many races. No matter what kind of immortal cultivation resources you want to buy, you can buy them here."
"You can buy anything?" Xiao Lin smiled slightly, without commenting. He walked forward and looked at these businesses one by one.
"Desolate First Business."
"Yao Yu Business."
"Shengtian Business."
"Zhongshengzhai?"
Xiao Lin's footsteps suddenly stopped, looking at the five-story attic in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Zhongshengzhai?" Xiao Lin repeated it silently again. He was not unfamiliar with this name. When he was in the mortal world, he had seen this business before. Now that he has ascended to the spiritual world, he has seen this business again in Baidi City.
This really surprised Xiao Lin. Could it be that this Zhongshengzhai could be opened in all the heavens and worlds?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin directly overturned this idea. Although the immortal cultivators have the ability to move the sky and the sea, they cannot travel through the heavens and worlds at will. After all, even if they cultivate to become immortals, they still cannot break through the power of heaven and earth.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, this is mostly a coincidence, or the person who founded Zhongshengzhai in the mortal world also ascended to the spiritual world, and then started a new business in the spiritual world and established a Zhongshengzhai.
Xiao Lin thinks this statement is more reliable.
"You wait here for a while, I can go in alone."
"Yes, please, senior."
Xiao Lin nodded, and then slowly stepped into Zhongshengzhai. What he saw was a dazzling array of shelves, on which were opened jade boxes, and in the jade boxes were placed various magic tools, talismans, etc., which can be said to be fully available.
On these opened jade boxes, there was a layer of hazy spiritual light, and it was obvious that they were restricted and could only be viewed but not taken.
"Senior, welcome to Zhongshengzhai. I wonder what your name is? Do you want to buy something? Or do you want to consign something?" At this time, a fragrant breeze blew, and then a beautiful woman dressed in a delicate and charming manner came to Xiao Lin.
