Chapter 497 Sea of Wronged Souls
Xiao Lin lowered his realm to the middle stage of foundation building, and then wandered around in the market.
The market in the top fairy city in the East Territory did not disappoint Xiao Lin. There were indeed some third- and fourth-level spiritual grass seedlings for sale. Since the cultivation time of fourth-level spiritual grass is much longer than that of third-level spiritual grass, the price of some fourth-level spiritual grass seedlings is lower than that of third-level spiritual grass seedlings.
Whenever Xiao Lin saw these third- and fourth-level spiritual grass seedlings, he would basically buy them. But when he bought about a hundred plants, Xiao Lin stopped buying. After all, if he bought too many third- and fourth-level spiritual grass seedlings at once, it might arouse suspicion from those who were interested.
As for buying about a hundred plants, such things still happen frequently. If the disciples of some large sects receive the order from the sect elders to buy third- and fourth-level spiritual grass seedlings, they will also sweep these spiritual grass seedlings in the market. This is not surprising.
After all, it is impossible to use these spiritual herbs that are not old enough to refine spiritual pills. Only those sects with superior spiritual fields will buy them and plant them in the spiritual fields for slow cultivation.
After purchasing some spiritual herbs, Xiao Lin collected enough materials. There are not only a large number of first- and second-level materials suitable for low-level cultivators to refine weapons in this market, but also a large number of third-level materials for sale, which surprised Xiao Lin.
However, he thought about it and understood that Tianshuixian City is the forefront of the human cultivators in Wanyaohai to resist the monsters. The cultivators who come and go here naturally often go to the Sea of Wanhun to hunt monsters. With the accumulation, the high-level materials here are not only rich, but also in large quantities.
Xiao Lin has used up the main materials of Bingyu and Xingyuan Hanyun for refining Qingluan Binglei Sword. These two main materials are basically impossible to buy in this market, but the rest of the auxiliary materials are still relatively easy to buy.
Although Xiao Lin had used up all the ice jade and star element cold meteorite, he decided to collect more of the remaining materials first, so that as long as he could get ice jade and star element cold meteorite, he could continue to refine the Qingluan Ice Thunder Sword.
Xiao Lin had been wandering in the market from morning to night, buying a large number of refining materials. It was not until the evening that Xiao Lin bought several sea charts of the Sea of Wrathful Souls and turned away.
Xiao Lin did not plan to stay in Tianshuixian City for a long time, so he did not plan to rent a cave for cultivation. He planned to enter the Sea of Wrathful Souls for trial in a few days to improve his spell level, so he temporarily found an inn and lived in it.
After completing the fixed two hours of homework every day, Xiao Lin turned to browse the sea charts he bought. These sea charts recorded in detail the distribution of monsters in a region of the Sea of Wrathful Souls and the dangers that might be encountered. Of course, they would also indicate the location of some islands, so that the cultivators could have a place to stay after the trial.
Compared with the sea area west of Tianshuixian City, the Sea of Wrongful Souls is much more dangerous. On the one hand, there are more monsters hidden in the Sea of Wrongful Souls, and they usually come in groups. Once they encounter human cultivators, it is basically a fight to the death.
On the other hand, in the Sea of Wrongful Souls, high-level monsters may appear. Usually, only monster cultivators above the transformation stage are called monsters, and those below the emperor level are called monsters.
Moreover, Xiao Lin also learned from other cultivators that even within the monster clan, they call their fellows below the emperor level monsters. In their eyes, these monsters that have not yet transformed are just low-level existences and are not worthy of being on an equal footing with them.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. There are many monsters below the emperor level, just like ordinary mortals of the human race, and even more in number.
However, it is extremely difficult for these astonishingly large numbers of low-level monsters to advance to the transformation stage. Not only do they need pure and noble bloodlines, but they also need some opportunities to be able to transform one day.
Just like the human Yuanying cultivators, the number of transformed monster cultivators in the monster race is extremely rare, which is also the fundamental reason why the human race can compete with them.
The monster race is proficient in magic and has a strong physique. Usually, if a human cultivator of the same level faces a monster of the same level, in a one-on-one situation, the human cultivator usually loses more than wins, but this is not absolute.
The monster race has its own advantages, and the human race also has its own advantages. The human race is proficient in refining equipment, and the refining materials used are mostly from monster beasts. After refining, they can even break the monster beast's strong body and hurt its root. In addition, the human cultivators are also good at the art of formation, which makes the monster race suffer repeatedly.
Although the transformed demon race is no different from ordinary humans in intelligence, they are still far behind in understanding the formation. This is also the fundamental reason why the human race and the demon race have been in a stalemate in the Wan Yao Sea for hundreds of thousands of years, but in the end, the human race has been advancing step by step.
On the morning of the second day, Xiao Lin rubbed his eyes and went out again. This time he found a remote alley, shook slightly, and turned into a white-faced scholar in his thirties. After a slight smile, he went to the east market of the city...
More than half a month later, Xiao Lin left the east gate of Tianshuixian City and turned into a condensed dark green spiritual light, flew towards the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the past half month, Xiao Lin had a rich harvest. He bought hundreds of third- and fourth-level spiritual grass seedlings, and also bought nearly a thousand green demon-transforming grasses, almost filling up the empty space in the spiritual wood space. After doing all this, Xiao Lin began to visit the shops in Tianshui Xiancheng again.
The materials in these shops dazzled Xiao Lin. There were all kinds of rare materials, but what disappointed Xiao Lin was that there were no rare materials such as ice jade, burning gold, and Xingyuan Hanyun.
However, Xiao Lin thought about it and it was not difficult to understand that such materials were hard to come by in the world of cultivating immortals. Even if some people accidentally got a piece of such materials, most of them would keep it for their own use in refining tools. Even if they were not used, as long as they were put on sale in the shops, they would basically be bought in a moment.
Although Xiao Lin did not buy the materials he wanted, he did not return empty-handed. In addition to buying a large number of green demon-transforming grasses, he also bought several intermediate talismans for self-defense.
In addition, Xiao Lin bought several more maps and fixed disks of the wider Sea of Wrathful Souls, and then he left Tianshui Xiancheng and flew towards the Sea of Wrathful Souls.
......
The Sea of Wrathful Souls is located 100,000 miles east of Tianshui Xiancheng, covering a vast sea area of tens of millions of miles. For a Jindan cultivator like Xiao Lin, it would take several years just to fly across the Sea of Wrathful Souls.
For a foundation-building cultivator, it might take decades to fly out of the Sea of Wrathful Souls.
The human cultivators who come in and out of here usually travel in groups. There are very few who go alone like Xiao Lin, but there are some. Many cultivators with strong combat power and eccentric personalities will choose to go alone. Even if they encounter powerful monsters, they usually have secret techniques to escape.
A few days later, Xiao Lin was hovering in the air, watching the sky-high tornadoes raging on the boundless sea. The huge waves rolled, and each ups and downs were tens of feet, which was extremely amazing.
In this sea of vengeful souls, there are no mortals except monsters and human cultivators. In such a harsh environment, no matter how big the ship is, it will be submerged in an instant.
This is also a barrier to enter the sea of vengeful souls - the Dragon Spinning Realm.
Only by passing through this Dragon Spinning Realm can you truly enter the sea of vengeful souls.
Xiao Lin took a breath and opened his mouth. Three dark green sword lights, accompanied by three purple and blue spiritual lights, spewed out. The three dark green sword lights shook slightly, each separated into two huge sword lights, and then dispersed countless small sword qi. This endless sword qi formed a cone in front of Xiao Lin.
The three purple thunder star shields flashed with subtle lightning and swirled around Xiao Lin.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin showed a satisfied expression and then flew towards the distant horizon.
As soon as he entered the Dragon Spinning Realm, Xiao Lin felt his body sink, and a pulling and tearing force surged up. At the same time, Xiao Lin saw thick tornadoes flying towards him.
But when they were still several feet away from him, they were smashed to pieces by the endless sword light and turned into nothingness.
At the same time, Xiao Lin felt that the mana in his dantian was also rapidly fading. Just to fight against these tornadoes, his mana was always being consumed. On this boundless sea, if the mana was exhausted, it would be quite dangerous.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin did not dare to slack off. With a thought, he turned into a cone-shaped dark green spiritual light and flew towards the depths of the Sea of Wrongful Souls, and soon sank into the rolling waves.
Three days later, after Xiao Lin broke the last tornado in front of him, he suddenly saw a clear view. The boundless tornado disappeared, and even the dark clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace. Xiao Lin saw the blue sky in front of him.
Although the wind was still howling and the waves on the sea were still ups and downs, the endless tornadoes connecting the sky and the earth were gone.
Xiao Lin's face turned pale as he breathed a sigh of relief. He threw a Jade Dew Pill into his mouth and looked around.
Soon, a hint of joy appeared on Xiao Lin's face. A few dozen miles to the right, there was an island several miles in size, which was just right for him to meditate and adjust his breathing, and to restore his lost mana.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin controlled the escape light and flew towards the island.
A moment later, Xiao Lin came to the top of the island. His spiritual consciousness instantly swept over the island and found that there was no monster on the island except for the lush trees. This made him feel relieved. He pressed the escape light and fell towards the island.
Suddenly, a dull roar sounded, followed by a yellow beam of light suddenly shooting towards Xiao Lin from the island.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin, who was falling, couldn't help but change his face. The three purple thunder star shields beside him suddenly flashed in front of him as his mind moved, turning into three round shields of more than ten feet in size, flashing endless small lightning, blocking him in front of him.
