Chapter 1278 Xiaodan Mountain
However, everything has its pros and cons. Although the seedlings of spiritual medicine in the Desolate Sea are not as good as those in the human area, the number of mature sixth-level spiritual medicines is far more than that in the Northern Sky Region.
Moreover, since the demon race is far less talented in alchemy than the human race, alchemists are sought-after talents in the Desolate Sea. The number of alchemists who can refine sixth-level spiritual medicines is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge number of immortal cultivators in the entire Desolate Sea.
However, the price of sixth-level spiritual medicines is also very expensive. Scarcity makes things valuable. In the Desolate Sea, although the number of sixth-level spiritual medicines is much greater than that in the barren land of the Northern Sky Region, the number of immortal cultivators is also much greater than that in the Northern Sky Region.
After learning about the price of sixth-level spiritual medicines, Xiao Lin was also secretly shocked. A bottle of ordinary sixth-level spiritual medicine requires at least more than 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones. If the quality is better, it can even be sold for hundreds of thousands of medium-grade spiritual stones.
In order to buy materials for refining the Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation, Xiao Lin had already spent most of his wealth. If all the remaining spirit stones were used to buy elixirs to assist in cultivation, although it could support him for a long time, it would also make him short of spirit stones, and he would not be able to buy good materials in the future.
Xiao Lin was not in a hurry for the time being, but returned to Taoyuan Village. He planned to familiarize himself with the entire Desolate Sea Area first.
In the following time, Xiao Lin almost never left his house, hiding in the cave, while comprehending the profound principles of the Inverted Yin and Yang Locking Heaven Formation, while browsing the map he bought from Zhongshengzhai.
The map in Xiao Lin's hand almost covered the entire Xinghai area. After browsing for more than half a month, Xiao Lin was also extremely shocked by the vastness of the Xinghai area.
The Xinghai area is one of the four major areas controlled by the demon clan, and it is also the earliest sea area developed by the demon clan, and it is also the origin of the demon clan. The Holy Spirit Area is just the area opened up and controlled by the earliest batch of powerful cultivators in the demon clan.
The Star Sea Region mainly consists of two parts, one is the Outer Savage Sea, and the other is the Inner Star Sea. In fact, most of the current Star Sea Region is the Inner Star Sea, while the Outer Savage Sea is filled with a large number of demon beasts and ancient wild beasts. Some of the ancient wild beasts are even hundreds of miles in size. Once they go berserk, their combat power even exceeds that of cultivators in the Tribulation Period, and they can compete with cultivators in the Mahayana Period.
More importantly, there are quite a few of these ancient wild beasts in the endless Outer Savage Sea, and they all have their own territories and will not leave easily.
The Star Sea Region gathers a large number of demon cultivators above the Transformation Period, and the controllers are several large demon families.
The demon race is different from the human race. The demon race is distinguished by race. Although they all belong to the demon race, it is common for them to fight and kill each other, and it is also tacitly allowed among the top cultivators of the demon race.
Just like this desolate sea area, it is controlled by the White Demon family. Xiao Lin also figured out that the so-called White Demon's body is actually a flying white sturgeon, covered with white scales, with a single horn on its head and two wings on its back. It usually lives in the deep sea, but can also fly into the blue sky and survive on land.
In the northern sea area of this desolate sea area, there are a large number of flying white sturgeons, which is also called the White Scale Sea. It is a forbidden area of the entire desolate sea area. Under normal circumstances, foreign cultivators cannot enter this White Scale Sea.
After the flying white sturgeon advances to the emperor level and transforms into a human form, it is responsible for entering the desolate sea area and is called the backbone of the entire White Demon clan. Not only will it be allocated a lot of resources, but it will also be given authority to control some important resources in the desolate sea area.
As for other races, they are all vassals of the White Demon clan, doing some low-end work, such as looking for various rare materials, digging spiritual stones in the spirit veins, and the better ones are refining tools, refining pills, and talismans, etc.
In fact, among the cultivators in the entire Desolate Sea, the transformed white demon clan is only a small part, accounting for only about one-tenth of the population. The rest of the cultivators are from other demon races, and some are from dozens of other alien races.
Even Xiao Lin saw many human cultivators in Baidi City. Human cultivators are good at refining weapons and alchemy, as well as talismans and formations. They are also talents urgently needed by the demons. Therefore, human cultivators are still very mixed in this demon area. In addition, with the intelligence of the human race, they have established a considerable force in this demon area.
Even Xiao Lin was greatly surprised.
Of course, Xiao Lin did not know that during the heyday of the human race, it was once a large clan on the Holy Moon Continent. Later, it declined, and most of the clan members were cleared out. The vast majority of the remaining ones gathered in the North Sky Fragmented Realm. But when the human race was driven away, many clan members were also scattered in various corners of the Holy Moon Continent.
There are thousands of races in the Holy Moon Continent. In peacetime, some large races are very tolerant of subordinate races, unless these subordinate races are ungrateful and pose a threat to the large races, they will face the risk of being cleared out.
Of course, there are also very few races that are very exclusive and will never allow other races to enter the areas they control, but such races will also be restricted in their development. After all, races that can learn from others can develop better. Whether it is various refining techniques or alchemy techniques, they can be better developed through exchanges between races.
Just like the demon race, apart from their innate magical powers, they are not good at refining weapons and alchemy, and these two skills are extremely important in the world of immortal cultivation. The vast area controlled by the demon race is rich in resources and a large number of various spiritual medicines. Through the skills of other races that are good at refining weapons and alchemy, the demon race is continuously provided with various grades of magical weapons and spiritual pills, which is also the guarantee for the continuous development of the demon race.
Through the introduction of these maps, Xiao Lin also learned about the two mortal enemies of the demon race. One is a race near the Star Sea, named the Water Demon Race.
The Water Demon Race lives in the boundless ocean, but can also transform into human form and live on islands. They are born with several water-based innate magical powers and are the mortal enemy of the demon race.
The Water Demon Clan is also a large clan. Its overall strength is slightly inferior to that of the Monster Clan, but it should not be underestimated. Once the Monster Clan and the Water Demon Clan meet, it will be a fight to the death. The Blood Line Sea in the south of the Star Sea is the border between the two clans. The two clans have been fighting all year round near the Blood Line Sea. That sea area is also blood red all year round, hence the name.
In addition, another great enemy of the Monster Clan is located on the Holy Moon Continent. The map does not explain it. Xiao Lin only knows that this race is almost as ancient as the Monster Clan - the Ghost Clan.
It is because of the existence of the Water Demon Clan that the several Monster Clan families in the Star Sea Region will select the elite of the clan every ten years to form a demon army and go to the Blood Line Sea to fight against the Water Demon Clan.
And all the subordinate races, as long as they have some combat power, will be recruited to go to the Blood Line Sea to serve as the front-line combat power.
This process has been going on for countless tens of thousands of years.
Xiao Lin then understood that a race as powerful as the demon race also had equal enemies, and in his opinion, those who could be enemies with the demon race must also be very powerful races.
Xiao Lin was a little curious about the Shuisha clan, but from the explanation on the map, the Shuisha clan was very exclusive and would never allow other races to enter the sea area under their control. Moreover, as long as they saw other races, they would take the initiative to attack and fight to the death.
This also temporarily suppressed Xiao Lin's idea of traveling to the Bloodline Sea. If we talk about the most dangerous place in the spiritual world, the battlefield where the two races fought is undoubtedly one of them.
Unless it is a top-level cultivator who has cultivated to the stage of transcending tribulation or even the Mahayana stage, who can come and go freely on the continent, even if it is a cultivator in the fusion stage, it is very dangerous once entering such a battlefield.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but start to ponder. He was thinking about his future practice plan, and at the same time, he was also considering whether he could continue to stay in this star sea area.
After all, he didn't want to be drafted.
But judging from the fact that there are many human races in Baidi Immortal City, the demon race will obviously not actively persecute the cultivators of other races. However, for the sake of safety, Xiao Lin still plans to take time to go to Baidi Immortal City to learn more.
"Huh?"
Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly condensed, because he sensed that someone had come to the outside of his cave, and this person obviously did not hide his body and breath, but walked in directly.
"I am Xue Lingshan, the island owner of Wuling Island, and I want to see you."
Xiao Lin easily sensed the realm of the visitor-late stage of refining emptiness?
Xiao Lin frowned slightly. This person's realm was still higher than his own, and through his spiritual sense, Xiao Lin could sense that this person was not a demon race, but like him, they were all human race.
Xiao Lin was a little surprised that he lived in seclusion on Taoyuan Island and did not tell anyone. Moreover, Taoyuan Island was very inconspicuous in this vast sea. How did the other party find him accurately?
However, the visitor is a guest, and Xiao Lin can't refuse him thousands of miles away.
"Daoyou, come in." Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and the fog in the foggy valley dissipated immediately. The wooden building where Xiao Lin was located also revealed his presence, and the wooden door slowly opened with a "branch".
Soon, a mature woman in her thirties walked in lightly. The woman was wearing a turquoise robe with exquisite patterns embroidered on her chest and shoulders. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, and a brocade on her head, revealing a noble ambition.
"Daoyou, please sit down." Xiao Lin stood up, bowed his hands, and then pointed to the futon opposite and said.
"Thank you."
The woman was not polite and sat down opposite Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and a beautiful tea table appeared between the two of them. Tea sets and tea were also available. Xiao Lin personally brewed a fragrant tea and poured a cup for the woman.
"Daoyou, please taste the spiritual tea collected by Xiao. There is nothing good to treat you in this desolate mountain, so please don't be offended."
"It turns out to be Daoyou Xiao. Lingshan came to visit me without permission, so please don't be offended."
"Daoyou, you don't need to be polite. It is a blessing to meet people of the same race in this desolate sea." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"There are not many human Daoyou in Baidi Immortal City. Daoyou looks unfamiliar, and you are a high-level cultivator in the Void Refining Stage. It seems that Daoyou Xiao should have recently arrived in the Star Sea Region, right?"
Xue Lingshan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and her eyes lit up immediately. She said twice in succession: "Good tea, good tea."
"Fellow Daoist Xue has a keen eye. Xiao Lin did come to this Desolate Sea by chance recently. To be honest, I am still unfamiliar with the Desolate Sea. I can only live on this small island temporarily and learn about it slowly."
"Sure enough, but I don't know where Fellow Daoist Xiao came from. Is he traveling in this Desolate Sea or planning to live here permanently." Xue Lingshan paused before continuing to ask.
"Our human race is declining, and we have no concrete plans. But I don't know why Fellow Daoist Xue is here?" Xiao Lin answered Xue Lingshan's question lightly, but kicked the ball back to her.
Hearing this, Xue Lingshan seemed to understand that she had spoken too much, and smiled slightly with a little embarrassment.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please don't misunderstand. Lingshan has no ill intentions in coming here. She just took a quick glance in Baidi Immortal City and found that you are also a human. That's why she noticed it and followed you. I hope you don't mind."
Xiao Lin didn't answer when he heard it, but he was secretly alert in his heart. He was followed by this woman in Baidi Immortal City, and he didn't even notice it. This was not good news for him.
After a pause, Xue Lingshan continued: "Lingshan came here for no other purpose. I saw that you seemed to be very interested in various spiritual medicines before, so I asked you if you are an alchemist?"
When Xiao Lin heard this, he suddenly realized that the purpose of this woman's visit must be because of this.
Xiao Lin was not obscure. He nodded and said: "Xiao does know a little about alchemy, but I only know the basics. It's not profound."
Xue Lingshan showed a hint of surprise on her pretty face, which made Xiao Lin a little confused.
"So you are indeed an alchemist. Our Xiaodanshan is considered a sacred place for elixirs in the entire Desolate Sea. Many large businesses have cooperated with us. At the same time, Xiaodanshan is also full of our human cultivators. Lingshan, on behalf of Xiaodanshan, sincerely invites you to join?"
"Xiaodanshan?"
"Yes, our Xiaodanshan occupies an island in the Desolate Sea. The island is called Yudan. Xiaodanshan is considered a sect, but it only recruits our human cultivators. In the sect, everyone can exchange alchemy with each other, and at the same time, they can also share what they have. In this foreign land, it can be regarded as a group for warmth."
Speaking of this, Xiao Lin naturally understood that Xiaodanshan is a human organization in the Desolate Sea, with alchemy as the foundation of the sect, similar to Dancao Mountain where Xiao Lin stayed in the mortal world.
However, Xiaodan Mountain is not a pure sect, but something between a sect and a business. It cooperates with major business houses, and naturally increases its influence through this move, so as not to become a thorn in the eyes of the demon race and be eliminated.
It seems that she must have noticed me when I was looking for spiritual medicine in major business houses.
"Xiao is used to being lazy and likes the feeling of freedom. I am afraid I can only decline the kindness of fellow Taoist." After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin replied.
