Chapter 469: Innate Dao Spirit
Although the East China Sea is an inland sea, it is vast and mysterious. It stretches more than 90,000 miles from south to north and is known as the "100,000-mile Lake".
They can also exert influence on the surrounding land through the thirty-six major rivers that flow into them. For example, the Huangjiang River system is one of the thirty-six river monsters, and they follow the lead of the East Sea monsters.
Such a vast demon clan power, the sea is rich in products, endless resources, and countless treasures. Ten thousand years ago, when Yu Jia was alive, the East China Sea reached its peak of glory, commanding the humans, demons, and spirits of the southern part of Yingzhou, and no one dared to disobey.
But the embarrassing thing is that after Feilong was killed by Chanhai Guanwu three thousand years ago, no Demon King or Queen was born in the East China Sea again.
The internal conflict among hundreds of tribes has lost its former glory.
It was not until the last few hundred years that powerful beings emerged from both the jellyfish clan and the dragon clan, whose strength far surpassed ordinary people and who conquered all parties, thus ending the civil strife and unifying the north and south of the sea respectively.
The Jiao clan is a branch of the dragon clan, and they command all the Jiao pythons and dragons in the East China Sea, as well as all the water monsters that have transformed into dragons.
He can be called the first nobleman.
They were incredibly powerful, with any individual Jiaomang being comparable to a human giant in the Immortal Realm. Therefore, relying solely on the Jiao clan's strength, they were able to crush all opponents and dominate with their sheer might.
What Li Weiyi and An Xianjing encountered on the boat was an extremely powerful dragon python.
The jellyfish clan, on the other hand, took a different approach. As their group was less powerful than the dragon clan, they united with the various aquatic clans and recruited as many land-based river monsters as possible.
Most of the thirty-six river monsters submitted to him.
The rest were mainly within the Jiao Clan's sphere of influence, suppressed by their hegemony. Otherwise, they would all submit to the more gentle Jellyfish Clan.
At this moment, lights were shining on the water surface a hundred feet away. Princess Dengfeng and Prince Mingjiao, who had been fighting each other to the death, both turned into human forms and stood on the deck, chatting and laughing happily, with no trace of their past conflicts.
Princess Dengfeng was still a human-shaped shadow, with flowing white clothes and swaying black hair, graceful and picturesque.
Prince Mingjiao was dressed in black armor, eight feet tall, with a majestic figure, a pair of dragon ears, eyes like torches, and his breathing could move the wind and clouds in the sky. His body was like that made of divine iron, giving people an unparalleled sense of power.
Just by taking a look from afar, Li Weiyi could conclude that Prince Mingjiao's body had been cultivated to at least the strength of a seven or eight-year-old body. It might even be higher.
The Jiao clan has advantages in physical cultivation.
What's more, with his status, he will not lack any top-notch body-refining resources.
He was the most powerful being below the Immortal Realm, attracting countless respectful and fearful glances from the shore. Some lesser demons even knelt in worship across the water.
Human martial artists instinctively retreated and moved away quickly.
Standing with Princess Dengfeng and Prince Mingjiao was a graceful young man, dressed simply and elegantly, with a refined demeanor. His face could not be seen clearly as it was obscured by the mist.
He glanced towards the sea city, and suddenly, an invisible chill filled the air.
"Chichi."
A layer of white frost formed on all the stalls.
Li Weiyi knew that the other party would never notice him, but he still had a strange feeling that he was being watched.
All the creatures in the sea market felt the same way. They were terrified, and some were so frightened that they packed up their stalls and left.
"What a terrifying level of cultivation, the demon race's realm of immortality?" Li Weiyi said.
The hippopotamus demon beside him shook his head slightly. "If it was the realm of immortality, Princess Dengfeng and Prince Mingjiao wouldn't be the ones to receive him. This is the Eye of the Ice Soul... Well, if you want to know the information, you have to buy it."
Li Weiyi was curious when he heard the word "Ice Soul": "How is the fee?"
"News below the realm of immortality, one question, one hundred thousand Yongquan coins." said the hippopotamus demon.
"goodbye."
Li was the only one who knew to ask.
The hippopotamus demon stopped him and said, "Don't worry! A quality buyer like you can give you three pieces of information for free. Next time you need to buy or sell, remember to look for Master Ma."
"Master Ma is particular. If you do business like this, you will surpass Qianli Mountain sooner or later."
Li Weiyi also knew how to change his expression. He showed an expression of admiration and then asked with a smile, "What is the meaning of the Eyes of Icy Soul?"
"This is one of the innate Taoist magics of the White Luan among the Five Luans! Of course, the Red, Green and Purple Luans are dead, and now only the Platinum and Gold Luans are left." said the Hippopotamus demon.
Li Weiyi asked, "Doesn't that mean that young man is the descendant of Bai Luan?"
"Bai Yeqing, the son of Bai Luan, is incredibly gifted. All his acupoints were opened at birth. Since then, he has opened one sea every month, and five seas in five months. At one year old, he had already reached the Dao Seed Realm and was known as the Innate Dao Spirit."
Li Weiyi was dumbfounded. He had never thought that such a supreme being existed in the world. He asked, "What is an innate Dao spirit?"
"As the incarnation of the great spiritual Dao, its foundation was shaped by heaven and earth, and it did not need to work hard to break springs and open seas. However, it is not entirely the credit of heaven and earth." The hippopotamus demon stopped talking here.
Li Weiyi asked, "Why is that?"
"This is the fourth question!" said the hippopotamus demon.
Li Weiyi was stunned for a moment, secretly bit his back teeth, suppressed his curiosity, turned around and left.
"Fifty percent off."
The hippopotamus monster grabbed Li Weiyi's boat.
Li Weiyi urged: "Start the boat, start the boat."
"One percent." said the hippopotamus demon.
Li Weiyi hesitated. Now that he was rich, ten thousand Yongquan coins were nothing to him.
"Half off, let's be friends." said the hippopotamus demon.
Li Weiyi took out five thousand Yongquan coins, moved them back and forth several times, and then handed them over with a painful feeling.
If Bai Yeqing's "Eyes of Ice Soul" had not reminded him of Yao Yin's "Body of Ice Soul as Strong as Jade", he would never have spent the money in vain.
After receiving the money, the hippopotamus demon was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Bai Yeqing's father is Bai Luan. His mother has an even greater background. His innate spiritual talent is also related to the efforts his mother made when she gave birth to him."
"You have to understand that powerful creatures, especially on the mother's side, are like a piece of flesh falling off the body, nurtured by one's own blood and energy."
"For example, a child born to a transcendent mother has a body nurtured by transcendent blood and energy, and a soul nourished by transcendent cultivation. How can a child born to an ordinary being like you compare?"
Li Weiyi nodded thoughtfully, "The fetus with transcendent blood has a body so strong that I can't even imagine it. The strength of its soul is simply terrifying."
"So, being born into a good family is more important than any talent."
The hippopotamus demon changed the subject: "Of course, giving birth to a child consumes a great deal of the mother's blood, energy, and cultivation. Therefore, male transcendents often have many children, while female transcendents only have a handful."
The hippopotamus demon stared straight at Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi didn't understand what it was waiting for.
He was indeed somewhat curious about Bai Yeqing's mother, but if he spent money to buy her, wouldn't he be falling into a trap that she had deliberately dug?
He said, "Fifth question, what's the price?"
The hippopotamus demon was delighted: "10% off, 10,000 Yongquan coins."
It’s getting more and more expensive.
Li Weiyi took out 10,000 Yongquan coins and handed them over. He stared at the magical vessel in the distance and asked a question that was on his mind: "Bai Yeqing has a high level of cultivation and such a great background. Prince Mingjiao came to greet him in his true form, which shows how much he values him. Why did Princess Dengfeng only send a human avatar?"
They are all leaders of the younger generation, the other two are real bodies, and she came as a clone.
It is obvious that they do not take it seriously enough and are just going through the motions to show their attitude.
"This problem costs more than ten thousand Yongquan coins." said the hippopotamus demon.
Li Weiyi asked, "What is the most important thing in doing business?"
The hippopotamus demon slapped his forehead and sighed, realizing that he had dug a hole and was being tricked into it. "I admit it, there is some profit to be made. The Western demon tribe was invited by the Jiao tribe. The two sides have always had a good relationship, and the origins can be traced back to the Yujia era."
"The Jiao Clan is extremely interested in excavating the ancient immortal dragon skeleton, as the Nether Dragon King may use this opportunity to break through his final realm and transform into the Nether Dragon Demon King."
"This is the situation the jellyfish clan least wants to see!"
"High-level gambling will naturally affect the younger generation."
"But with the younger generation competing, the demon tribe must cooperate with three parties in order to compete with Daogong and Du'e Temple and gain more benefits. This is why Princess Dengfeng is so stubborn!"
Li Weiyi suddenly realized and felt that the news was worth buying.
If you don't understand the cooperation and competition within the demon clan well enough, it's impossible to see clearly.
More importantly, the cultivation level of the Dark Dragon King is already very close to that of the Emperor of Martial Arts?
If this news is true, the price will skyrocket!
It doesn’t matter whether it’s real or fake, it’s just 10,000 Yongquan coins.
"Is it worth it? When Master Ma does business, he values a win-win situation."
The hippopotamus demon asked again: "Are you interested in the next opportunity of the ancient immortal dragon skeleton?"
"What do you mean?" Li Weiyi asked curiously.
The hippopotamus demon said, "Buy a spot! The further forward you are, the more Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi you absorb, the greater the possibility of obtaining opportunities, and it is also safer and more guaranteed."
"You are too weak below the Lingxiao Shengjing and Changshengjing realms. None of you can stand on your own, so you can only follow behind the Du'e Temple. What can you absorb? You may not get anything at all."
"Moreover, only martial artists from the Zuoqiu Clan can follow behind Du'e Temple. Martial artists from other factions must be ranked further back."
"After the Jiao Clan lured the Western Demon Clan here, Du'e Temple has become the weakest party in the three-way game, with those below the Immortal Realm. They themselves may not even be able to reach the forefront."
After the demon boy broke through the realm of immortality, it was still unknown whether there was anyone in the Du'e Temple who could contend against the two true disciples of Inamiya and the three leaders of the demon clan in the ninth level of the Daozhong realm.
Li Weiyi asked, "Is this position still available for purchase?"
The hippopotamus demon lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I have two nephews. They are both top-tier warriors of the younger generation. They are ranked in the top ten... or top five under Princess Dengfeng. If we travel with them, we will definitely be at the forefront. The number of spots is limited, and the highest bidder will win. I only want this number!"
It moved closer to Li Weiyi and secretly extended two fingers.
"Two million Yongquan coins?"
Li Weiyi tried to guess as high as possible.
The hippopotamus demon rolled his eyes at him. "Twenty million Yongquan coins! This is a chance to reach the realm of immortality. Even those old fellows nearing the end of their lives would spend all their money to buy a spot."
Li Weiyi took a deep breath. Even he was tempted by this business. He wished he could break through to the ninth level immediately and sell escort quotas.
Sure enough, killing people didn’t help them make money.
And the money earned is earned with a clear conscience to help people in need.
"Master Ma, how are the sales of the elixir we deposited with you?" The voice of the Water Beaver Fairy floated over from the river.
The hippopotamus demon pointed at the Water Beaver Fairy and Prince Baba on a distant boat and immediately introduced them: "Look, those are my two nephews, both of whom are among the best demons, and the red demon beside Princess Dengfeng."
The boat was more than twenty feet away from the stall, splashing ripples on the water and slowly moving towards it.
The Water Beaver Fairy and Prince Baba were both standing at the bow of the boat.
A beaver and a capybara.
"Ali, Baba, and there is another Master Ma."
Li Weiyi took another breath. This business team looked very reliable at first glance. Even he couldn't help but want to invest some money in it.
