Li Yunxiao slammed the teacup on the table and sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? The sea is boundless, and the part of the sea near the mainland has at most rank 2 sea beasts. If you want to find rank 4 sea beasts, you have to travel at least a thousand miles into the sea. Not to mention the fact that you can't kill them without a sea map, even if you have a sea map, you can at most avoid getting lost. Finding a poisonous rank 4 sea beast is also a fool's dream! If you encounter a high-level existence, you and I will both die at the bottom of the sea. That's a high probability of happening! "
Duan Yue was stunned. He realized that it was really difficult to talk to this young man. How could he know so much at such a young age? It was as if he had been to the sea himself. It seemed that swindling wouldn't work. He took out an ancient beast skin from his ring and spread it in front of Li Yunxiao. He said carefully, "Take a look at this."
Li Yunxiao's eyes narrowed. This beast skin was several times thicker than ordinary beast skin. It was obviously the skin of a large sea beast, and it was extremely elastic to the touch. A sea map was drawn on it with a very delicate technique. A triangle was marked with a red mark in one corner, and two mosquito-sized words were marked on it: Kunwu.
Li Yunxiao's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously grabbed the entire beast skin in his hand. He said in shock, "Kunwu Divine Tree?!"
Duan Yue was also shocked. He realized that he couldn't see through this young man in front of him. He said in disbelief, "You know about Kunwu Divine Tree too?"
Li Yunxiao realized that he had lost his composure. He wouldn't care if there was news about Kunwu Divine Tree under normal circumstances. However, Meng Wu was in a deep sleep now, and she needed the Soul Nurturing Wood. The Soul Nurturing Wood was a branch of Kunwu Divine Tree that had absorbed a large amount of life essence of sea beasts.
"Tsk! I'm an alchemist. There are very few materials in the world that I don't know. Kunwu Divine Tree is just one of the natural treasures. What's there to be surprised about? "
Li Yunxiao spread out the map again and looked at it carefully. He said softly, "From this sea map, it should be near the coastline of Tianxiang Empire. Although the distance wasn't far, since the Kunwu Divine Tree was here, there would definitely be high-level sea beasts guarding it. There's a high probability of encountering a few poisonous ones. "
After a moment of silence, he returned the map to Duan Yue and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do? Also, tell me the various conditions and benefits. Tell me more clearly so that I can be prepared. "
Duan Yue was stunned on the spot. The other party had actually guessed his thoughts so straightforwardly. Wasn't this youth a little too terrifying? Did he really find the right person? He wouldn't be tricked by the other party, right?
"What? Don't play dumb with me! " Li Yunxiao sneered coldly, "You must have a use for me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept all the benefits for yourself. Why would you be so kind as to share them with me? If you don't make it clear, I'll let this matter go. I'll pretend I didn't know. "
Gulp!
Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, Duan Yue bitterly smiled. "I'm really doubting your age. Is there an old monster hiding in your body? I do need your help. This time, I went to the Alchemist Guild to find an alchemist. I originally had my eyes on Bi Qianjin, but it seems like he's not strong enough. "
Li Yunxiao sneered and continued, "So you took a fancy to me. You think that I'm young, strong, and easy to trick?"
"This …"
Duan Yue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "I did have such thoughts in the beginning, but now, I'm really worried that I've found the wrong person. If I knew that you were so smart, I would've looked for a higher-ranked alchemist to work with. I was originally afraid of being tricked by them, so I wanted to find a younger and inexperienced one. "
"Don't worry, I'm only fifteen years old. How can I have any experience?" Li Yunxiao said sincerely with an honest look on his face.
"…"
Duan Yue was speechless. If he didn't understand a little, he would've definitely believed Li Yunxiao's words just by looking at his expression. Now, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. Then, he narrated the entire situation in full detail.
The Tianxiang Empire was next to the South Sea, so it had abundant sea resources. There was a small town near the South Sea called Qinghai Town. Although it was small and had a small population, it was one of the most prosperous places in the Southern Territory of the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts. The number of people who came here was a hundred or even a thousand times more than the number of people who stayed here. They were all businessmen who came from all over the world.
Besides ordinary businessmen, there were also representatives of various factions and members of the Merchant Union. All of them had a station in Qinghai Town. It was because this place possessed unparalleled marine resources. Besides being extremely rich in natural resources and having an inexhaustible supply of all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, there was even a large number of beast hunters that swarmed over from all directions. All year round, they hunted sea beasts for a living and exchanged them for various resources.
Duan Yue was a very famous Beast Hunter, mainly because he was strong. He usually traveled alone, and the sea beasts he hunted were of a higher level than ordinary people. That was why he was famous among Beast Hunters.
The distribution of demonic beasts in the sea was similar to what Li Yunxiao had described. Within a thousand miles of the sea, there were at most rank two beasts, which was equivalent to human Martial Masters. However, in the sea, the sea beasts could display their unique advantages, while humans were greatly restricted. Under such circumstances, if humans wanted to hunt sea beasts in the sea, they could only look for existences that were one level lower than them. In other words, to hunt a rank two sea beast, humans at the Great Martial Master level were required.
Normally, as long as they were well prepared and didn't venture into unfamiliar waters or go deeper, they wouldn't be in too much danger. However, because of this, most of the sea beasts in the safe waters had been hunted. Therefore, many Beast Hunting Teams had to take the risk to go deeper in the sea in order to obtain higher profits. Although people died because of this, the profits were too tempting. Many Beast Hunting Teams took the risk.
Duan Yue happened to save a Beast Hunting Team that was almost wiped out. The captain of the Beast Hunting Team couldn't repay Duan Yue, so he gave Duan Yue this sea map as a life-saving gift. At first, Duan Yue did not think much of it. However, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. This was actually a sea map of rainbow fog.
The so-called Sea Rainbow Fog was a very special phenomenon in the sea. Suddenly, a rainbow-colored mist appeared on the surface of the sea, covering the entire sea and sky. People in the depths of the mist couldn't even see their own fingers. Even their divine senses couldn't penetrate too far.
There were two types of rainbow fog. One was that it appeared randomly, and no one could predict it. There was also a fixed type, which was a rainbow mist that could appear at any time in a certain area of the sea. The only similarity between the two was that once the rainbow fog phenomenon appeared, the original sea region would no longer be the original place. This kind of fog would create a spatial channel effect, and people who entered it would simultaneously travel to another unknown sea region.
The sea region that the rainbow fog appeared randomly would also be connected to, and the sea region that the fixed rainbow fog would lead to would also be fixed. Therefore, the fixed rainbow fog had great exploration value and was considered a treasure trove. This kind of sea map with the fixed rainbow fog was a priceless treasure. Its value was immeasurable.
It had to be known that the four seas were many times larger than the land. Ordinary martial artists would find it difficult to travel all over the four seas even if they spent their entire lives. Even the royal families of the four seas might not be clear about the various situations in their own territories. Therefore, such a Rainbow Mist Sea Map was equivalent to opening up an independent treasure trove. Its value was so great that it made one speechless. Of course, the risk was also great. If it went directly to a place where high-level sea beasts lived, it would be a complete tragedy.
After listening to it, Li Yunxiao suddenly understood.
Generally, in the place where the rainbow fog was produced, there would be a kind of accompanying thing called pink crystal dust. This crystal dust showed a faint peach blossom pink and did not have any smell. It was scattered in the rainbow fog and did not have any toxicity. However, once it was inhaled into the human body, it would cause great hallucinations and eventually die in the sea. This pink crystal dust could not be dispersed with Yuan Qi. The only way to disperse it was with a strong soul force!
Li Yunxiao took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "You came to me to disperse the pink crystal dust, right?"
"Pfft!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yue, who was drinking tea to moisten his mouth, spat out the water in his mouth and coughed continuously. He patted his chest with all his might, his eyes filled with shock. "You …"
He was completely shocked, and his face fell. He only felt weak as he said, "Are you really only 15 years old? Even hunters who hunt sea beasts in the sea all year round might not know about pink crystal dust. Only powerhouses who have reached a certain level would know about it. You are only 15 years old? You have a rank 3 Dao of Alchemy, a 1-star Martial Grand Master cultivation, and you actually know everything. Which power raised a monster like you? In the future, when I have sons and grandsons, I will send them to be trained. "
Li Yunxiao smiled and did not say anything. Not only did he know about the rainbow fog, but he had also experienced it once.
It was said on the continent that he had killed all the Sea Race within 8,000 miles, and the entire sea was dyed blood red. This was a rumor made by humans because they wanted to save face. In reality, he was chased by the Sea Race for 8,000 miles. However, he killed countless members of the Sea Race who blocked his way, and a large area of the sea was dyed red. This was true.
Later on, when he was cornered and thought that he was going to die, a rainbow fog appeared. A rainbow mist actually appeared, directly teleporting him to another large sea region. Only then did he escape from death, picking up his life.
Although his combat power was very strong, he was faced with tens of thousands of Sea Race powerhouses. There were also hundreds of Jiutian Realm Emperor Wu. Even if the top ten experts on the Heaven and Earth Ranking List were all here, they would all die! Later on, the Bo Clan, who ruled the four seas, could not find anyone. They could not withstand the pressure from the four seas' royal families, so they brought tens of thousands of powerhouses to attack the Sacred Region. Even the Sacred Region's God Capital did not dare to accept the challenge. The Sea Race people surrounded him for a few months, but to no avail. Only after cursing did they return resentfully.
