Xia Fei lightly wiped his spatial ring and took out the Sea Lotus, feeling both annoyed and amused. "I thought that the Sea Lotus was impossible to subdue, but it turns out that I got the timing wrong. Only after subduing Duanshan Ye and gathering the six divine armaments will the Sea Lotus be fused with them. That's truly a strange thing I've never heard of before."
Radix chuckled. "Of the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea, the Sea Lotus has the least personality, but it's also the most important. It's like a catalyst. Once you've gathered the six divine armaments, the Sea Lotus will play a decisive role, completely fusing and transforming the six divine armaments into a wood-type divine armament. I'm afraid that Peacock Blue won't look the way it does now but will completely change its appearance."
Xia Fei was taken aback. He suspiciously looked at Radix and asked, "Change its appearance? Will it turn wood into metal? Radix, I've realized that you've changed into a different person. You know a lot more than before, and you have the demeanor of a master. Just what's going on? "
Radix anxiously scratched his head. "What changed? Isn't that what the stranger said? I'm just deducing from what he said. If the Sea Lotus isn't the catalyst, why do I need to fuse with it last? It's very similar to when you mix medicine. The last ingredient is usually the deciding factor. "
Xia Fei smiled. "That makes sense, but you can't hide it from my eyes. You've definitely changed."
Radix was unwilling to say anything more, and Xia Fei could do nothing about it. He could only put away the Sea Lotus and continue on his way. Xia Fei had deviated from his original plan after Hong Su brought him to the Creation Shrine, so he had secretly sent a signal into the dark space to remind Jin Xiaoxiao to follow him.
Jin Xiaoxiao's absence did not mean that he had gone far. On the contrary, this loyal Demon Chrysalis had been following Xia Fei in the dark space. If Xia Fei needed it, Jin Xiaoxiao would immediately appear!
…
Not long after, a strange signal appeared on the radar. It was neither from the Dark Tribe nor the Law Realm.
"This should be the gathering signal of the borderlands, directing the people living near the border to gather at a fixed location. It's possible that they're about to start a trade, "Radix said after glancing at the signal frequency.
Xia Fei was taken aback, muttering to himself, "The borderkind are speculators who live on the border between the Dark Race and the Law Realm. I wonder if there's anything special about their transactions. Why don't we take a look?"
Radix shook his head. "Your level is already so high, and your equipment is even more powerful. The toys in the hands of these border dwellers probably won't be able to enter your eyes. It's better to speed up and return. We're about to pass through a tiger's mouth. That place has never been peaceful. It would probably be another huge battle. Who asked you to kill the daughter of the King of Darkness? The Darkness Race is probably trying to capture you right now. "
Xia Fei replied, "What will come will come. Though the residents of the borderlands aren't exactly wealthy, they're still stuck between the cracks of the Law Realm and the Dark Race, so it's easy to overlook them. The Skywing Race might not have investigated this place before."
"Now, I only lack Duanshan Ye to gather the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea. We can't let go of any clues. We also have to investigate the gathering of the border residents. "
…
It wasn't difficult to decipher the signals of these border dwellers. According to the information Xia Fei obtained, the gathering this time was actually a very grand festival for the locals. It was called Hongdamuda, and it was a celebration for these people who wandered on the fringes of society to live for another year.
It was not easy to make a living in the cracks between the Dark Race and the Law Realm, and being able to live here was already a kind of fortune. The annual Hongdamuda became a grand festival for the border residents to trade and celebrate.
* Whoosh ~ *
The warship quickly brought Xia Fei to a planet that seemed to have some life. Xia Fei put away the Gemini Star and Furball in his bosom, wrapped himself in a tattered cloak, and then strode forward.
"These border residents really know how to pick a place. This place is in the center of the asteroid belt, making it very difficult to be discovered. It's relatively safer to hold the festival here," Radix said as he observed his surroundings.
Xia Fei replied, "The life of the border residents isn't easy. The Dark Race and the Law Realm can easily wipe them out, so there's no way they can survive here without some sort of camouflage. Let's go. We'll take a look at the town up ahead."
The further they went, the more ships were anchored in the wilderness. Most of the ships used by the borderkind for transportation were very old and worn-out, and some of them even had metal patches on them, causing them to shiver in the wind. The borderkind used such crude transportation tools to sell the specialties of the Law Realm to the dark races, and in turn, they would trade them for metals and other items that the Law Realm did not have.
At this time, a rather large fleet descended from the sky. There were over a dozen cargo ships, all of which had the same decorations, and there were even two cruisers guarding them.
"These are probably the merchants of the Law Realm who buy goods in bulk. The border residents smuggle goods from the territory of the Dark Race, using the method of ants moving an elephant, slowly accumulating the goods bit by bit. Then, these smugglers come out and take all the goods in one go. The prices are also kept very low, and there's even a chance that they'll start a robbery. After all, these smugglers come from some of the smaller clans in the Law Realm, and they're many times stronger than these lone border residents," Radix said.
Xia Fei did not care too much about these warships. Instead, he was more interested in how these fellows would pass through the tiger's mouth, so he asked, "Can the smugglers pass through the tiger's mouth? Won't the Dark Race troops guarding the tiger's mouth pursue them? "
Radix chuckled. "Those who are in this line of work naturally have their ways. Oftentimes, the relationship between the Law Realm and the Dark Race isn't as bad as one might imagine. It's just smuggling, not an army pressing down on the border. Just give them some money, close your eyes, and it'll all be over.
"Besides, both the Dark Race's heavy metals and the Law Realm's precision weapons are in demand. If the smugglers and the border residents are exterminated, it won't be of much benefit to either faction."
Xia Fei said a few words before heading straight for the border resident's town.
There were quite a lot of people, all of them dressed up differently. Xia Fei used Breath Control to walk among them, so he did not stand out at all.
However, there was truly nothing in this town that Xia Fei wanted. Xia Fei gave the waiter of the tavern some money and inquired about the legend of Duanshan Leaf, but he did not learn anything.
"Since there's nothing of value here, let's hurry up and get going," Radix urged. He seemed to have no interest in such a low-level border transaction.
Xia Fei nodded. Just as he was about to leave the town, he heard a huge commotion coming from the other side of the town.
"It's the Sky Piercer! It's a white Sky Piercer! "
"Oh, who found such a good thing? That person is probably going to strike it rich! "
"Sigh, why don't I have such good luck? It's been so many years, but I haven't even seen the shadow of a Sky Piercer."
"Don't blame the heavens and blame the people here. Hurry up and go watch the show. Maybe you'll get some luck."
The people discussed among themselves as they rushed to the other side of the town.
"Sky Piercer? What's that? "Xia Fei asked.
Radix disapprovingly replied, "It's not really anything good. It's just a very strange cactus that can be used to create a substitute for a warrior. The White Sky Piercer is one of the most advanced ones. What's interesting about it is that not only is the substitute created from the Sky Piercer very ingenious, but if the enemy attacks the substitute, they will also be injured. The stronger the attack, the greater the damage. This is called Damage Reflection!
"However, the Sky Piercer is useless against you, for you're already at a very high rank. Unless the Sky Piercer is a million-year-old perfect specimen that's over one meter tall, it's just a decoration."
Xia Fei nodded. Xia Fei was very fond of the Sky Piercer's Damage Reflection ability. Returning the enemy's attack in its entirety was a very sinister realm.
"Let's just take a look. It won't take up much time," Xia Fei whispered.
* Whoosh ~ *
Using the Law of Speed, Crafty Approach, and Breath Control, Xia Fei's figure blurred as he dove into the crowd.
It was a very large white cactus, so bright that it almost blinded the eyes of others!
"Over two meters! This is actually a Sky Piercer that's over two meters tall! " Radix was stunned. "How strange! For such a top-grade plant to appear in such a desolate place! Truly inconceivable! "
Xia Fei could sense a different aura from this two-meter-tall Sky Piercer. It was as if a pair of sharp eyes were looking at him.
Such a precious and powerful substitute Sky Piercer had actually been placed in a large jar. The one holding it was an elderly man and his teenage granddaughter, who were dressed shabbily.
At this moment, the granddaughter and granddaughter were all smiles as they prayed for the gods to bless them with finding a Sky Piercer. It was obvious that they were hoping that this top-grade Sky Piercer could help them escape poverty.
Radix carefully observed it for a few moments before pointing at the milky-white Sky Piercer and saying, "This plant will probably take at least several million years to form. If you use this miraculous plant as a substitute, a Law Saint's all-out attack will be severely injured by the backlash, and a Law God will also bleed. This is the most conservative estimate. If the price isn't too high, then buy it. Perhaps it'll be useful in the future."
Xia Fei was startled. It could even cause a Law God to bleed! And this was Radix's most conservative estimate?! From this, one could see just how powerful this Sky Piercer was. Even a Law God's powerful attack would be partially reflected back!
"Old man …" Xia Fei was just about to ask for the price and buy this miraculous Sky Piercer when he heard a shout from the distance.
"All of you, get out of the way! How can a Sky Piercer be bought by a poor wretch like you?! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd parted, and a dark-faced fatty strode forward. There were more than 20 guards by his side.
From his attire, this person was clearly not a border dweller. His armor was too gorgeous and clean. Whether it was his expression or his clothes, he exuded a domineering aura.
* Whoosh ~ *
Upon seeing this two-meter-tall white Sky Piercer, the dark-skinned fatty's eyes exploded with light, and he practically charged forward while muttering to himself.
