"What's that?"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao saw a strange ship. This ship was completely wrapped in a metal shell, almost airtight. Even water couldn't seep in.
"That's called a diving ship. Only Elders and Demon Generals are qualified to ride it."
Tu Yan explained, "Diving ships usually search for secret treasures at the bottom of the sea. This sea has always been rumored to have a cultivation cave left behind by a Human King. Unfortunately, after searching for several years, there are still no results."
"Human King's cave!"
When Ling Xiao heard these words, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
No matter what martial arts he cultivated or what inheritance he inherited, the Mountain River Martial Spirit had always been the core. Therefore, he wanted to raise the level of the Mountain River Martial Spirit as soon as possible.
In the Human King's life, he had changed many cultivation grounds and left behind many cave dwellings. Any one of them could have something related to the Mountain River Martial Spirit.
He thought to himself that he had made the right choice this time.
"Yes, but the Human King's cave is too difficult to find. Fortunately, there is a very special plant in the depths of the sea. It grows a fruit called the 'Martial Soul Fruit'. If it is sold outside, the worst one is worth a hundred million low-grade spirit stones. The best one might not even be bought with a hundred million top-grade spirit stones."
Tu Yan continued, "The Sea Race has been searching for it all these years, but they only found three Martial Soul Fruits."
"What kind of effect does this Martial Soul Fruit have? Why is it so valuable?"
Ling Xiao was truly frightened. He originally thought that he had enough wealth, but from the looks of it, all of his wealth couldn't even buy a Martial Soul Fruit.
"It has four effects.
First, it can increase one's lifespan by one to ten years. This isn't too exaggerated. The effect is inferior to the Longevity Fruit. Of course, it's just a side effect.
Second, it can add a new Martial Soul. Remember, it's adding a new Martial Soul. In other words, it won't affect the original Martial Soul. However, every warrior can only use one in their lifetime. Otherwise, their body will explode and they will die. This is the most terrifying use of the Martial Soul Fruit.
Third, it can strengthen and advance an existing Martial Soul.
Fourth, it can strengthen the soul!
It's these four effects that make its value terrifying. "
Tu Yan explained, "I won't hide it from you, little brother. Back then, I came for the Martial Soul Fruit. In the end, I didn't expect it to be a trap set up by the Sea Race."
Now, Ling Xiao suddenly understood why so many human experts had been lured to Demon Castle City. These people had probably come here to search for the Martial Soul Fruit and the Human King's dwelling. In the end, they had come here rashly, falling into the sea race's trap.
Tu Yan was definitely not the only one who was fooled. There were probably many others who were fooled like him.
They chatted as they got off the boat and walked towards a building.
"That is the slave registration office. After you go in, just tell the guards that you don't want the slave mark. They will naturally understand what you mean."
Tu Yan pointed at a huge building and said.
"Thanks a lot!"
Ling Xiao did not doubt Tu Yan's words, because if Tu Yan really wanted to harm him, he could just leave him alone. He would quickly be discovered for not knowing the rules, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Moreover, Tu Yan was a straightforward and upright person. Although he was more cautious than before, his nature had not changed.
"In short, little brother, I can only help you up to here. Take care of yourself!"
Tu Yan patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder before leaving with his group.
Ling Xiao followed Tu Yan's instructions and saw a deacon at the slave registration office.
This person was obviously a Ninja Clan master. He wore a special headband on his head and the True Qi in his body was exactly the same as a Ninja's.
The other party was about forty years old and had a cultivation at the Second Layer of the Transcendent Realm.
With such strength, being able to serve as a deacon, it could be seen that there was still a big gap between Demon Castle City and the Twelve Great Sects.
Of course, this was because the Yin Yang Demon King had taken away most of the masters, otherwise, Ling Xiao would not have dared to take such a risk.
"What's your cultivation?"
The Ninja deacon asked directly.
"Fifth Layer of the Transcendent Realm!"
To reach the Fifth Layer of the Transcendent Realm, one had to pay ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones to avoid being engraved with the Slave Mark. This amount of Spirit Stones was nothing to Ling Xiao, and he believed that he could recoup his losses from Demon Castle City.
Although the Ninja deacon was skeptical, after staring at him for a long time, he still could not figure out what was going on. In the end, he slammed the table and said.
"Pay thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and you can avoid being engraved with the Slave Mark, but you have to wear a slave collar!"
The Ninja deacon said.
"Thirty thousand? Deacon, did you make a mistake? Didn't I only pay ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones? "
Ling Xiao cupped his fists and asked.
"Cut the crap, you're the one begging me now, not the other way around. Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, not a single one less. Otherwise, you'll have to obediently engrave the mark of a slave. Even if you leave this place in the future, you'll still be an ugly person!"
The Ninja deacon sneered.
In fact, this person was not targeting Ling Xiao.
In fact, the people who made the unspoken rules were the higher-level Demon Generals and Elders.
After the deacon received the Spirit Stones, he had to give the majority to the Demon Generals and Elders, leaving only a small portion for himself. Therefore, it was normal for them to add some Spirit Stones to the unspoken rules.
And for a long time, no one dared to refuse.
It was just that the Ninja deacon did not seem to realize that he had run into an iron plate today.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to endure. After all, thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones were nothing to him.
After this matter was over, he would ask for it back.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Alright, Sir Deacon, here are thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, please count them."
"Very good, you are very smart. Generally, smart people will be fine."
The Ninja deacon sneered after Ling Xiao admitted defeat.
Ling Xiao directly placed the thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones on the ground.
Anyway, there was a lot of space here, so he was not afraid of not being able to fit them.
The Ninja deacon counted them and confirmed that there were thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Then, he put the Spirit Stones away and said to Ling Xiao with a smile, "Alright, put your Storage Ring and other things here. Slaves are not allowed to bring those things."
Ling Xiao frowned slightly, but he still did as he was told.
In any case, he didn't have anything valuable in his storage ring. The real good stuff was all in the Mountain River World.
"Sir Deacon, please help me register."
After handing over the things, Ling Xiao looked at the Ninja deacon and said.
He did all these things because he wanted to get a legal identity in the Demon Fortress City.
Although this identity was still a slave, it was better than being an unknown person.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it just a registration? Since you handed over your storage ring so readily, you should be a rich cultivator outside. How about this? I'll kindly accept your storage ring. What do you think?"
The Ninja deacon said with a smile, his eyes revealing incomparable cunning and greed.
