Chapter 1304: City of Ten Thousand Souls
The moment Xiao Lin opened his eyes, a large red light suddenly rose from the surrounding magma, shooting towards Xiao Lin from all directions.
It soon merged into his body, and the ground, which was originally full of magma, solidified again, presenting a smooth black color.
A smile appeared on Xiao Lin's face. This Nine-Turn Blood Bone Pill was indeed worthy of being a seventh-level top-grade elixir. The medicinal power of just one pill took him a long time to digest and absorb, and the huge blood and qi power in it, under the infusion, actually allowed him to break through to the Blood Flame Realm in one fell swoop.
Not only that, but Xiao Lin's first level six arms of the Holy Scale Indestructible Body Divine Power have also been completely practiced. In the future, as he takes the Nine-Turn Blood Bone Pill and continues to improve his realm, Xiao Lin's Holy Scale Indestructible Body will also be further improved. This body-refining technique has also brought Xiao Lin more and more surprises.
As Xiao Lin successfully cultivated to the first level of Blood Flame, he also successfully advanced to the legendary Spirit Body Realm.
The realm of the spiritual body is the realm that real physical cultivators reach. Only when a physical cultivator advances to the realm of the spiritual body can he use the power of blood and qi to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen his soul, and only then can he truly break the shackles of the physical cultivator's life span.
Even if an ordinary physical cultivator cultivates to the peak of the holy body, his life span will never exceed a thousand years. But after advancing to the spiritual body, it is different. He can have a long life span like an immortal cultivator.
Xiao Lin felt the power of his spiritual consciousness. After advancing to the first level of blood flame, it has also been improved to a certain extent. Now his spiritual consciousness can easily cover a range of more than 100,000 miles. Even a cultivator in the middle stage of fusion may not be able to do this distance.
Xiao Lin looked at his hands and felt the surging blood and qi in his body. He felt that the world was in his hands. With the realm of the spiritual body and his many magical powers, Xiao Lin even felt that he could break the insurmountable rules of the great realm. He was completely able to defeat a cultivator in the early stage of fusion.
Of course, Xiao Lin was just thinking about it. He didn't want to provoke a cultivator with a higher realm than himself.
After advancing to the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art, Xiao Lin decided to leave Taoyuan Island after some consideration. Not only did he leave Taoyuan Island, but he also planned to leave the Desolate Sea.
To advance to the Fusion Stage, he needed to refine a third-level soul weapon, but Xiao Lin had never really refined a soul weapon. He even had a sword embryo of the Silver Light Void Soul Sword in his hand. This Silver Light Void Soul Sword was a soul weapon, but after a preliminary understanding, this Silver Light Void Soul Sword was only a second-level soul weapon, and it was an attack-type soul weapon. Even if it was successfully refined, it would be of no use to him in the Fusion Stage.
So Xiao Lin planned to travel in other places in this Star Sea to find the craftsmanship of refining soul weapons. Of course, he also tempered his state of mind through traveling to prepare for the advancement to the Fusion Stage.
In addition, Xiao Lin also wanted to travel around and buy more seventh-level spiritual medicine seedlings. Now, the sixth-level spiritual medicine has improved his cultivation, and the effect is very weak.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin first summoned all the soul-devouring fire poisons back through his soul, and then collected the array plates and flags around the cave. After doing all this, Xiao Lin turned into a dark green escape light, rushed into the sky, flashed a few times in the void, and disappeared without a trace.
The residents of the Flash Wings on Taoyuan Island did not know that the immortal envoy who had protected them for generations had left, and they were still immersed in the joy brought by the rejuvenation of many villagers...
The Gravel Sea, located in the south of the Star Sea, is a no-man's land, because in the south of this sea area, it gradually penetrated into the territory of the Water Demon Clan, and because the Water Demon Clan is very xenophobic, other races rarely go deep into the area controlled by the Water Demon Clan.
But this gravel sea is different, because there are many large and small races gathered here, no less than dozens, and there are two large tribes, the demon tribe and the water demon tribe, one in the north and one in the south, which restrain each other, making this a sea area, completely out of control, with various forces intertwined.
Of course, there are many items that are taboo in other immortal cities for sale here, such as blood weapons, which can be bought here.
Such a place is also full of dangers, all kinds of robbery and fraud are endless and hard to guard against.
The reason why Xiao Lin chose to come here is not aimless, but to go to a fairy city-Wanhun City.
Because there are a large number of spirits for sale in this fairy city, these spirits include not only demon beasts and fierce beasts, but also immortal cultivators and ordinary mortals, which can be said to be varied and dazzling.
The sale of spirits is prohibited in the world of immortal cultivation, especially in the areas controlled by large or even super large clans. It is expressly prohibited because once the sale of spirits is open, ordinary mortals will encounter a catastrophe. Many demons and immortal cultivators with bad intentions will kill a large number of mortals, plunder their spirits, and sell them.
Of course, in the spirit world, there must be a reason for existence. Whether it is a magic weapon, a ghost weapon, or a blood weapon, in order to increase its power, it usually needs to integrate a large number of spirits, the number of which can easily reach tens of thousands or millions. The number of spirits sealed in some powerful weapons can even reach more than 10 million.
This shows that there is a huge market for spirits, and Wanhun City is such a market. Of course, Xiao Lin's purpose is not to buy spirits, but in Wanhun City, he heard that there are many soul weapons for sale.
Xiao Lin's purpose is to understand the soul weapon refining process, and it would be best if he could get a process diagram of a third-level or higher defensive soul weapon.
The reason why the Gravel Sea has this name is that in this sea area of hundreds of millions of miles, there are countless islands of various sizes, which are countless. Although they are not as numerous as the stars in the sky, from a height of thousands of feet, the sea surface seems to be covered with countless gravels, which is why it has this name.
Of course, the so-called gravels are not real gravels, but islands of various sizes, but the sizes of these islands are also very different. The small ones are just a huge rock exposed on the sea surface, and the large ones are giant islands of thousands or even tens of thousands of miles.
However, although there are many islands in this Broken Star Sea, islands with spiritual veins are even rarer, and only a few larger islands have spiritual veins.
Wanhun City is located on an island that is three thousand miles in size. This island is called Hell Island. The whole island is shrouded in black fog all year round. The fog exudes a spicy smell. Ordinary people cannot enter the island.
The appearance of Wanhun City is also a bit strange. It is not like an ordinary fairy city, which is square. Wanhun City is located in a huge cemetery. The city is also dark, but every hundred feet in the city, there is a lamp post with green flames flashing on it. It is these countless lamp posts that illuminate the entire city.
One day, a dark green rainbow flew from the sky, crossed a long trajectory, and appeared above Hell Island. When the spiritual light dissipated, a handsome young man of about twenty years old was revealed, which was Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin looked at the island covered by black fog below and frowned slightly.
If he hadn't seen a lot of escape lights around him, going in and out of the black fog, Xiao Lin would have doubted whether he had come to the right place.
"According to the instructions on the map, this is the Hell Island where the Wanhun City is located. The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. There are even cities built underground."
Xiao Lin muttered to himself for a few words, then pressed the escape light and fell directly onto the island.
After passing through the black fog hundreds of feet high, Xiao Lin was still dozens of feet away from the ground when the black fog completely disappeared, revealing a huge cenote in front of him. At first glance, the cenote extended directly to the horizon, and the bottom was pitch black. The black fog was floating up from below.
Only when he arrived at the cenote did Xiao Lin see a series of escape lights going in and out of the cenote, including some high-level cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage and the Void Refining Stage.
Xiao Lin was sure that he had come to the right place, and immediately fell into the cenote.
After falling for thousands of feet, the darkness around Xiao Lin suddenly changed to emerald green, and at this time, Xiao Lin could see the huge city below through the emerald green spiritual light.
Xiao Lin landed directly in the city. The city was not small, but there was no forbidden air formation. Xiao Lin's divine sense found that only those shops were under severe restrictions.
After a little thought, Xiao Lin understood that the Wanhun City was known as a no-man's land, which meant that neither the demons nor the water demons cared about it. In addition, there were many races and too many conflicts, which made it gradually become a black market.
Many items and materials that were listed as taboos in the world of immortal cultivation can be seen here.
This also led to the gathering of a large number of evil demons and some immortal cultivators who practiced forbidden techniques.
Of course, there were also many people like Xiao Lin who came here to buy some necessary items, and at the same time to experience and improve their state of mind.
Landing on a wide street, Xiao Lin looked around and suddenly felt his hair stand on end. The cultivators coming and going on the street were illuminated by the green light on the lamp posts, and their faces were also showing a miserable green color.
If Xiao Lin hadn't known that these were all living people, he would have wondered if he had come to the legendary netherworld.
Xiao Lin was walking on the street when suddenly a tall, thin, fair-skinned young man approached him. Xiao Lin was slightly startled, and his mana even reacted.
"Senior, please don't misunderstand me. I am Zhang Ze, the guide of Wanhun City. I have lived in Wanhun City for two hundred years. I can say that I know every corner of Wanhun City like the back of my hand. It seems that this is your first time in Wanhun City. Do you need a guide?"
Xiao Lin realized that in the spirit world, every immortal city has such a group of people who rely on introducing some information in the city to others in exchange for rewards. Obviously, the person in front of him is also the same.
Xiao Lin saw at a glance that this person was actually in the early stage of the Golden Core realm. A Golden Core cultivator actually did such a guide job, which really surprised Xiao Lin.
However, he did not think much about it, but nodded and asked: "This is indeed the first time for Xiao to come to Wanhun City, but I wonder how much it would cost to ask you, a Jindan cultivator, to be a guide?"
Zhang Ze hurriedly said: "The fee is easy to negotiate, senior, you can decide based on your satisfaction."
"Just as you like?" Xiao Lin didn't expect that there were people who did business this way, and his face was immediately full of confusion.
Zhang Ze saw Xiao Lin's expression and immediately explained with a smile: "Senior, don't get me wrong. This Wanhun City is known as a no-man's land. It is very chaotic. Even if you fight in this city, no one will care. Of course, if you damage the buildings here, there will still be people to care. In addition, even if you kill people in the street, no one will care. Our business is even more difficult to do. After all, the people we serve are all senior monks with unfathomable cultivation. In the process of service, if they are satisfied, it's fine. If they are not satisfied, we will ask for a sky-high price. I am afraid that we are too long-lived. Many of Zhang Ze's colleagues have died because of this. Therefore, we guides have not set specific remunerations. Everything depends on the mood of the senior."
At this point, Xiao Lin finally understood it, and at the same time, he felt that it made sense, so he stopped caring.
"Okay, Xiao agrees. As long as you are satisfied with Xiao, you will get the spiritual stones." Xiao Lin said.
"Thank you, senior."
"Senior, did you come to Wanhun City to look for a soul weapon?" Zhang Ze came closer and lowered his voice.
Xiao Lin was stunned when he heard this, but his expression did not change at all. He just looked at Zhang Ze: "How did you know?"
Xiao Lin's words were tantamount to tacitly agreeing with Zhang Ze's question.
Zhang Ze hurriedly said: "Senior, don't misunderstand. Judging from your dress, you should be a cultivator of the immortal way. Whether it is a cultivator of immortals or a cultivator of demons, when they reach the peak of the refining realm, they need a soul weapon of a high grade in order to impact the fusion realm. There are many cultivators who come to our Wanhun City every year to look for soul weapons."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was relieved: "Then do you know where in Wanhun City there are soul weapons of higher quality for sale? Of course, if you can buy a superior soul weapon refining process diagram, it is also possible."
Zhang Ze heard this and immediately answered honestly: " Speaking of soul weapons, I dare not say other places, but in this Xinghai area, Wanhun City is definitely the best. There are three main forces selling soul weapons in Wanhun City, namely Wanhun Business in the east of the city, Mohun Building in the north of the city, and Soul Weapon Shop in the west of the city. "
After a pause, Zhang Ze continued to explain: "There is a huge force behind these three forces, and whether it is Wanhun Business, Mohun Building or Soul Weapon Shop, they are just the facades of these three forces. "
"Oh? Then do you know what the forces behind these three are?" Xiao Lin continued to ask curiously.
"Among the three major forces, only the Soul Weapon Shop in the west of the city has a clean background. The force behind them is the Shao family of Qianqing Island. Wanhun Business is said to be related to the Xuanming Sect of Guming Mountain. The Demon Soul Building is said to be related to the Demonic Path. However, the Demonic Path is said to be quite powerful on the Holy Moon Continent, but it is definitely not too strong in this gravel sea. It should be a branch of the Demonic Path that is staying here."
Zhang Ze suddenly looked at Xiao Lin and asked, "Senior, are you a human?"
