The sea of ​​​​thousands of stars.

Shen Lian didn’t know where he was currently, and the route map he had purchased before was no longer useful.

As he swam beneath the sea, he encountered all kinds of monsters.

Just like the human cities on land, a group of monsters will appear in every area.

Fights may break out between groups of monsters, and they will prey on each other.

There were common monsters such as giant golden-scale shrimps, monster eels, sea-scale elephants, and many other sea monsters of different shapes that Shen Lian could not recognize.

Whenever he encountered a group of monsters, he would just bypass them.

The fact that we can still encounter so many monsters can only mean that this place is still part of the Siren Island Chain area. It would be bad if too much fluctuation is caused because of a few monsters.

Shen Lian is serious about cherishing his life.

…

Two months later.

A head slowly emerged from a colorful coral pile, looking at the tri-colored scallops living deep in the swaying seaweed in front of it.

Question: How many steps are there to capture a monster? Stand still like a rock, lock onto the target, gather your strength, move as fast as the wind, ah da...

A flash of water passed by, and the tri-colored scallop disappeared on the spot.

Shen Lian had already swam hundreds of feet away.

After moving away from the Siren Island Chain, although the sea is still full of groups of monsters, there are fewer and fewer that have reached the second level.

If Shen Lian came across a solitary person or one that looked pleasing to the eye, he would conveniently put them into his storage magic device.

The sea off Wanxing is just too vast. After running for two months, trying all kinds of swimming styles including dog paddling, backstroke and diving, he still didn't encounter an island.

There used to be islands outside the Wanxing Sea, but they were all destroyed by the sea clan. The human race had no way to survive without islands, so it naturally became an uninhabited area.

…

On the ocean.

A two-hundred-foot-long dark treasure ship was sailing through the waves on the vast ocean.

On the highest mast of the treasure ship, there was a flag embroidered with a large word "Fang".

This is the famous market ship near the open sea, which is similar to the market on land, but has been moved to the sea.

Compared with the market on land, the market on the sea is a bit riskier, but the benefits are also greater.

Some demon-hunting monks who go deep into the ocean, if they are seriously injured in the process, they may be able to survive if they encounter a market ship on the sea.

Of course, when collecting spiritual objects on ships in the sea market, the price will be lower than that in the land market.

The food consumed by the passengers on this ship is also very expensive.

If by any chance we encounter any danger, the boat will be destroyed and everyone will die, and even our wife’s money will have to be lost.

"We have gone too deep. The Siren Sea is ahead. Stop and turn around."

A voice was heard from the sailing market ship, and then the treasure ship slowed down and began to turn around.

The Outer Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars and the Inner Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars are the names of the monks within the Ten Thousand Stars Sea.

According to the cultivators in the South China Sea, anywhere outside the continent where the South China Sea is located is an endless ocean.

The area to the north of the Siren Island Chain is called the Inland Sea, and the vast ocean past the Siren Island Chain is called the Outer Sea.

The inland sea area is also divided into three parts. The coastal waters are the safest, close to the mainland, and have the largest number of monks living there.

Outside the coastal waters is the Fuqiu Sea, where there are some islands and some monsters living, so it is a relatively safe place.

Outside the Fuqiu Sea is the Siren Sea.

Outside the Fuqiu Sea, all the way to the Siren Island Chain, the vast sea area belongs to the Siren Sea. Not only are there monsters here, but you can also encounter sea creatures.

In the attic at the top of the treasure ship, the captain of the treasure ship was looking at the nautical chart with a frown in his hand.

Their market ship had been traveling back and forth within the Fuqiu Sea, but in recent days, the harvest had been too dismal and they were unable to make ends meet, so they had no choice but to sail out for a distance in order to pick up more monster hunters.

After traveling for a few days, they did gain something. There were also more monks on the treasure ship.

But to be on the safe side, he still cannot enter the Siren Sea. If he encounters danger, he cannot afford the cost of the ship being destroyed and people dying.

On the vast ocean, Shen Lian emerged from the water, summoned a spirit boat and jumped on it, heading towards the treasure ship in the distance with a large flag with the word "Fang" on it.

Before this, he had sneaked up to the treasure ship and conducted reconnaissance on it.

I found that compared with Wanxinghai, the monks’ clothing and speech were no different.

I didn't expect that there is a mobile sea market on the sea in the South China Sea. The human race's brains are indeed not comparable to those of monsters.

When approaching the market boat, Shen Lian did not hide his tracks, and even did not conceal his realm.

Soon, when he was nearly a thousand feet away from the treasure ship, a divine thought swept over him. It was the divine thought of an old man in gorgeous clothes who was at the highest point of the treasure ship's attic.

Even after being swept by the divine sense, he did not show any abnormality, and still behaved like a normal fifth-level foundation-building cultivator, falling towards the direction of the treasure ship.

"Daoyou."

On the deck of the treasure ship, a young-looking foundation-building cultivator had already been waiting there.

After Shen Lian landed on the deck, he bowed to the young-looking monk.

"Daoyou, the sea monsters are rampant in the sea, showing the style of cultivators of our generation. I admire you."

The young monk also clasped his fists and bowed, "I am Liu Yun, the ship steward of Liujiafang City."

Look, how good at talking.

Shen Lian, who had been doggy paddling the whole way, felt much better after hearing this.

It’s great to meet people of the same tribe.

"Daoyou, please."

Shen Lian glanced at the forbidden ship building and asked, "How much is the entrance fee to your market?"

"Fellow Daoist, this is it. If you sell the monsters you hunted, buy spiritual objects, or stay in the guest room to rest in my market, you don't have to pay the market entrance fee."

“If you are not bartering in this market, you will need to pay an entry fee of 100 spirit stones.

In addition, if you stay on the treasure ship for one more day, you will get an extra 100 spirit stones."

Shen Lian nodded. This rule was quite good.

The fairy cities on land all have entrance fees, and the market ships wandering on the sea consume more money than on land.

Under the guidance of Liu Yun, Shen Lian walked towards the ship's tower. He didn't want to buy anything. Mainly because he had been drifting on the sea for so long, he wanted something sturdy to stand on.

The Liu family's market ship has a total of four floors. The bottom two floors are the market area, the third floor is the accommodation area, and the highest fourth floor is not open to the public.

Moreover, the design of the market town is quite reasonable. If you want to go to the accommodation area on the third floor, you must go through the market areas on the first and second floors.

The first-level market town has the largest area, and there are nearly a hundred cultivators gathered in the market town. Most of them are at the Qi training level, and more than half of them are owners of independent shops.

Not to mention, the structure of this market ship is really eye-opening. The monks in those independent shops are not monks from the Liu family.

The monks of the Liu family who were responsible for sailing and guarding the treasure ship separated the first floor of the market into shops of different sizes and rented them out to monks outside.

There are people selling elixirs, people selling aquatic creatures, and...

Before Shen Lian got on the boat, he had already sensed it with his divine sense.

At the innermost part of the first level of the market town, more than thirty heavily made-up female cultivators, male cultivators, humanoid sea fish, etc., lived in different grids.

In some grids, there were also sounds of exciting battles.

It is obvious that happiness is everywhere, whether on land or at sea.

The spiritual objects on the first floor were all for Qi-cultivating cultivators. Shen Lian didn’t like any of them and went straight to the second floor.

There are a total of nine shops on the second floor, and each of them is managed by a foundation-building cultivator.

In this way, the defensive force on a market ship, excluding the formation restrictions, is close to twenty foundation-building monks on the seller's side. It can be said that their strength is quite powerful.

The second floor was very quiet. There were a dozen or so foundation-building monks sitting cross-legged in the spacious open space outside the shop, and they were on guard against each other.

There were several foundation-building monks with several spiritual objects in front of them. Some of the spiritual objects were difficult to take out, so they specially wrote a sign and placed it in front of them.

There was no need for Liu Yun to explain, as Shen Lian saw it clearly when he was observing outside.

Of course Liu Yun had no intention of explaining. These scenes were common sense.

The monks setting up stalls outside are monks who are traveling in the sea. When they come across a market ship, they specifically board the ship to sell their goods and take a rest.

The guest rooms on the ship were too expensive, so I could only use the empty area on the second floor.

On the boat in the market, there is no compulsion to sell spiritual objects to people inside the market. If you feel that the price offered inside the market is too low, or does not meet your requirements, you can stay in the market and set up a stall.

However, the spiritual objects sold need to be commissioned by the market, and if they cannot be sold, some stall fees must be paid before leaving.

Shen Lian already had a clear view of the scene on the second floor.

"Daoyou, please give me the treasure map."

Seeing the newcomers coming, several foundation-building monks who were selling spiritual objects twitched their lips and transmitted messages to Shen Lian.

"Daoyou, the three hundred year old Jade Blood Coral Spirit."

"Fellow Daoist, this is the scale armor of a third-level monster. I guarantee it's authentic."

…

"Daoyou, I guarantee the authenticity of the cave of Ban Dan Zhenren."

Several foundation-building cultivators communicated with each other continuously, and Shen Lian was stunned for a moment.

What the hell is a half-dan?

Which genius cultivator coined this new term for cultivating immortals?

Soon, Shen Lian figured it out. It turned out to be a cave left behind by a ninth-level foundation-building cultivator. Adding the word "Dan" almost upgraded it.

He didn't even bother to take a second look at the cave of True Golden Dan Yingshui Zhenren. A half-dan... what's so good about a ninth-level foundation-building cultivator?

Looking through the stalls, Shen Lian did not take a liking to these spiritual objects, but instead looked towards a shop nearby.

Inside the shop, there were wooden shelves, and on the shelves were transparent light shields, each containing a spiritual object.

The shopkeeper in the store is an elderly monk wearing a flowery robe, and his strength is at the sixth level of foundation building.

Seeing Shen Lian's gaze falling on his shop, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, come in and take a look. You can see clearly if you come in."

Shen Lian stepped into the shop, his eyes falling on a red monster egg in the light shield.

The demon egg also exudes bursts of burning breath, clearly telling outsiders that it is a fire-attributed egg baby.

"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight. This is a third-level demon king black phoenix egg. Once it hatches, you will have a third-level demon king to protect you in the future."

The shopkeeper in flowery robe was not exaggerating. This bird egg emitting hot air was indeed laid by a black phoenix.

There were bird patterns interwoven in black and red on it, but the aura was a little weak. Of course, it was much stronger than the three thousand auras back then.

In terms of bloodline, it is many times better than three thousand.

Everyone in the world of immortal cultivation knows what's going on with the three thousand dragon bloodlines. Real dragons are too promiscuous and leave their offspring everywhere.

As a result, the descendants of dragons, although not everywhere, also formed the backbone bloodline of the demon race.

The bloodline of the black phoenix is ​​relatively simple in inheritance, but of course it is not that simple.

Rumor has it that the Black Phoenix is ​​the product of the Golden Crow and the Phoenix having an affair.

To this day, the powerful descendants of the true immortal beasts have been passed down from generation to generation and have also spread to ordinary monsters.

Of course, if we talk about popularization, it has to be the real dragon, whose bloodline flows into even the most inferior monsters.

"Fellow Daoist, how about this? A descendant of the third-level black phoenix will have a 90% chance of being promoted to a third-level demon king in the future. One hundred thousand spirit stones is not expensive, right?"

I didn't listen to the shopkeeper's bragging.

Back then, Sanqian was known to be a quasi-third-level mother.

The price has increased many times after the bloodline has been upgraded to this level.

One hundred thousand yuan, that's enough to buy several small 3,000-yuan houses.

“It’s expensive.”

"Ten thousand spirit stones."

As soon as Shen Lian opened his mouth, the shopkeeper in the flowery robe became angry.

He is the true descendant of the third-level demon king. Although for some reason his aura is a little weak, he is still active, otherwise he would have been sold long ago.

The price of exporting 100,000 spirit stones is high, but isn't this to leave room for bargaining?

Good man, not only was there no room for bargaining, but the price also hit him right in the heart.

Just stab him to death with a knife.

"Ninety thousand spirit stones."

"If the egg doesn't hatch, can we keep it for egg soup?"

Shen Lian glanced at the shopkeeper.

"Ninety thousand spirit stones worth of egg soup, you are so arrogant, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper in the flowery robe looked embarrassed.

Even a Jindan Zhenren would not be willing to drink the egg soup that costs 90,000 spirit stones.

"Minimum 50,000 Spiritual Stones."

Finally, the shopkeeper in flowery robes gritted his teeth and said that he had collected these eggs for a long time but had never sold them because the probability of them hatching was too low.

No matter how many spirit stones you have, if it cannot be hatched, it will all be wasted.

In addition, most of the cultivators who roam the ocean are cultivators with spiritual roots such as gold and water, and very few of them buy fire-attributed spiritual beasts.

The shopkeeper in Huapaozi had thought of other ways. If he couldn't sell it at the Haishang Market, he could just take it to Daxian City and sell it.

result……

The result is that the egg is placed here again.

Who would spend fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones to buy a spirit beast egg with a low hatching chance?

What's even more terrible is that the spiritual power in this black phoenix egg is weak, and even if it hatches, it may not have enough essence.

Insufficient original resources mean that future potential will be greatly reduced.

All in all, this level 3 spirit beast egg, whose potential has been greatly reduced, can only be sold at the price of level 2 quality.

The price given by Shen Lian was the same.

Seeing that his aura was much stronger than that of Xiao Sanqian, he offered a price of three thousand.

Besides, my Sanqian is not bad. He has absorbed two demon pills, which proves that his potential is being stimulated. I estimate that he is now about the same as this black phoenix egg, and it is almost certain that he will be promoted to a second-level demon beast.

It's the big black son...

Please give me monthly votes for the third update!
