One couldn't blame Ji Wuming and Murong Qian for being so careful. This was because the communication device was very delicate. It was only the size of a button. On the surface, it looked like it was made of crystal. On the inside, there was a metal formation. The metal formation was also very delicate. Some of the talismans were as thin as a strand of hair. Holding such a small thing in one's hand, one would be afraid that it would break if they dropped it on the ground.
Zhao Hai took the communication device and looked at it. Then he nodded and directly pinned it on his clothes. Then he looked at Ji Wuming and Murong Qian and said, "Alright, put the communication device in place. Let's go." Ji Wuming and Murong Qian immediately complied. After putting their communication devices in place, they followed Zhao Hai outside.
When the three arrived outside, they got on Liu Tong's car. Liu Tong drove straight ahead and before long, Liu Tong stopped. Then he pointed to a large building and said, "Mister, this is the largest book market in the city. There are all kinds of books here, from elementary school textbooks to secret techniques. But those secret techniques are more expensive. If Mister wants to buy books, you won't be wrong." Liu Tong nodded and said, "Mister, this is the largest book market in the city.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, wait for us here." Then he led the two out of the car and directly entered the book market.
This book market was really huge. As soon as one entered the door, one could see a huge shelf. On the shelf, there were pieces of jade. These jade boards looked very thin, and when placed on the shelf, they glittered and looked very beautiful.
Zhao Hai looked at the jade tablets and understood that these jade tablets were books from the Deserted World. He immediately said, "Wuming, Murong, let's split up. Murong, you buy books on formations. Wuming, you buy books on refining. Leave the rest to me. Don't be afraid to spend money. As long as the books aren't important, buy them for me no matter how much they cost. After we buy them, we'll use the communication device to contact each other." Ji Wuming and Murong Qian nodded.
Zhao Hai used his spiritual force to tell the two, "Don't talk too much in the communicator. It's easy to be monitored. Remember, pay attention to what you say for the next few days." Then he turned around and left. Ji Wuming and Murong Qian didn't say anything. They also turned around and left.
Zhao Hai casually strolled around the bookstore. He discovered that the bookstore was divided into countless stalls. In front of each stall, there were several things that looked like computers. He noticed that everyone who wanted to sell a book would first go to the computer and inquire about it. Then, they would say what kind of book they wanted to buy.
It seemed that the computer-like thing stored all the books and information from the stall. That was why people went there to check. It was quite convenient.
Zhao Hai went to the front of a bookstall and looked at the computer-like thing. He discovered that it had a touch screen. He used his finger to swipe on the screen and saw a catalog with a price behind it. It was very simple and clear.
Zhao Hai looked at the catalog and then clicked on it. He discovered that the book he clicked on would turn red. Zhao Hai also knew that this meant that he wanted to buy the book. He wasn't polite and ordered all the books that he liked. Then he turned around and looked at the stall owner.
The stall owner was a thin middle-aged man. He looked a bit like a profiteer. When the stall owner saw that Zhao Hai had ordered so many books, his face couldn't help but smile. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister wants to buy a total of 5,860 Jade Essences. Since mister wants to buy so many books at once, I'll round off the 60 Jade Essences. Mister only needs to pay me 5,800 Jade Essences."
Zhao Hai didn't speak any nonsense and threw a Space Bag over. When the stall owner saw that Zhao Hai was paying with a Space Bag, he stared blankly. But then he returned to normal. He came in contact with a lot of people every year. There were all kinds of people who liked to pay with Jade Essences. Naturally, he didn't think much of it.
After the stall owner counted the Jade Essences, he tied up the books that Zhao Hai wanted and handed them over to Zhao Hai. Sure enough, just as Zhao Hai thought, the Jade Essences were actually books. But the Jade Essences were engraved with arrays, and the contents of the books were recorded inside.
After Zhao Hai received the books, he turned to another stall and continued to choose the books that he wanted. However, Zhao Hai quickly discovered that the books on this floor were mostly the same. They were all elementary books. He immediately knew that the more advanced books were upstairs.
After Zhao Hai went upstairs, he began to make a big purchase. At this time, Ji Wuming and Murong Qian were also doing the same as Zhao Hai. They weren't stupid. Although they hadn't seen anything like a computer book scanner, they quickly understood what it was used for. The two also bought a lot of books.
On this day, Zhao Hai and the others were sweeping through the Book Market. As long as they didn't have a book, they would buy it. They didn't ask for the price. This kind of nouveau riche approach caused a big sensation in the Book Market. All the merchants in the Book Market knew that there were three people sweeping through the Book Market.
After a day of sweeping, all the books in the Book Market were swept away by Zhao Hai and the others. In the evening, Zhao Hai and the others left the Book Market.
Liu Tong felt that today was the most relaxing day of his life. He just drove the people from the hotel and then went to buy a communication device. Then he went to the Book Market and stayed in the car to cultivate. Finally, he sent the people back to the hotel. This kind of journey wasn't even a thousandth of the distance that he usually ran every day. However, his income wasn't reduced at all. This kind of work was really easy.
Zhao Hai didn't care so much. After the three returned to the hotel and entered their room, they heard a knock on the door. Zhao Hai had Ji Wuming open the door and see Qi De standing outside.
When Qi De saw Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He said, "Mister, why did you come back so late? The Elder has already prepared a banquet to welcome Mister. Mister, please tidy up and come with me. "
When Zhao Hai heard this, he nodded and said, "Alright, let me tidy up. Wuming, you two tidy up as well. We'll go together." Ji Wuming and Murong Qian nodded before they turned around and returned to their rooms.
Before long, the three were done tidying up. Zhao Hai was still wearing his black Cultivator robe. However, the style of his robe had changed a little. Although it looked simple, it looked very imposing.
As for Ji Wuming and Murong Qian, they didn't wear any armor. Instead, they were wearing Cultivator robes. Their robes were similar to Zhao Hai's, black, but simple and imposing.
After the three came out, Qi De couldn't help but stare at their appearance. Then his eyes lit up. The three of them looked very handsome. Ji Wuming had an extraordinary bearing, Murong Qian had an iron-blooded aura of a soldier, and Zhao Hai looked cultured and refined, he didn't attract any attention at all.
Qi De stared for a moment before he recovered. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Please come with me." Then he led the three out of the hotel. Then he got on his car and went straight ahead.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the Ancestral Artifact. Qi De led the three of them out of the car and walked towards the Ancestral Artifact. After that, they got into the elevator. When the elevator opened, they were already in a restaurant.
This was a very large restaurant. It looked very beautiful. Surprisingly, the restaurant was buffet style. There were many tables in the restaurant, and on the tables were various kinds of food. People in luxurious clothing were chatting with each other while holding a tray or a glass of wine. They looked very happy.
In this restaurant, the most eye-catching thing was the 18 Elders of the Elder Council. They were sitting together and chatting in low voices. Nobody dared to approach this group.
At this time, the people in the restaurant also noticed Zhao Hai and the others. Everyone's eyes were focused on the three. Zhao Hai didn't care, he just smiled as he followed Qi De into the restaurant. Before long, they arrived at the small circle of the 18 Elders.
When the elders saw Zhao Hai, they stood up. Liu Xuan smiled at Zhao Hai as he raised his cup and said, "Mister, welcome. Did you have a good rest today?" Zhao Hai nodded.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I didn't rest much. I just went out for a stroll and went to the city's bookstore. People say that books are the source of knowledge. I also like to read and understand the world through books. Today's bookstore really opened my eyes. I wasn't careful and ended up spending a lot of books. I don't know if I can finish reading all of them."
All the elders laughed. At this time, a waiter came over with a tray in his hand. On the tray, there were wine glasses. The wine glasses were filled with red fruit water.
Zhao Hai wasn't polite, he picked up a glass and took a sip. Then he nodded and said, "This wine is very good, it tastes very good."
Liu Xuan smiled and said, "It's good that Mister likes it. Tomorrow, I'll have someone send some to Mister. This wine can't be bought outside." After saying that, Liu Xuan turned his head and looked in a certain direction. Zhao Hai also turned his head and saw that Qi Huan was standing in the middle of the hall. He was holding a wine glass in one hand and a silver fork in the other. Then he gently tapped the wine glass a few times, causing a crisp sound to be heard.
Everyone was attracted by the sound. No one spoke, they just quietly looked at Qi Huan. Qi Huan looked at the people around him, then he smiled faintly and said, "Today, we held this banquet in order to welcome Mister Zhao Hai from the Void Realm!" As soon as his voice fell, the entire hall was filled with exclamations. Zhao Hai nodded.
When Zhao Hai saw that these people didn't seem to be faking it, he couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't expect that the Desolate World's confidentiality would be so good that these people didn't know that he was coming.
There was a buzz in the dining hall. Everyone looked at Zhao Hai and the other two. It seemed that they all knew each other. Only Zhao Hai and the other two were unfamiliar faces, so they immediately thought that Zhao Hai was someone from the Void Realm.
Qi Huan looked at these people and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please listen to me. Not only did Mister Zhao Hai come from the Void Realm, he also has the bloodline of our Desolate Race. Naturally, he is a member of our Desolate Race. Also, before coming to our Desolate World, Mister Zhao Hai fought with the War God Plane and destroyed them. He is our hero. Everyone, please welcome Mister Zhao Hai."
Upon hearing Qi Huan's words, the exclamations became even louder. They kept confirming with the people around them whether the news was true or not. But soon, they knew that the news was true. The War God Plane had indeed been destroyed and Zhao Hai had indeed come from the Void Realm. This was incredible. They immediately applauded intensely. Everyone looked at Zhao Hai with excitement. Some even couldn't help but surround Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai had seen such a scene in the past, so he was not too surprised. Instead, he raised his wine cup to the people around him. With a warm smile, it warmed the hearts of the people around him. This made the surrounding Desolate race members have a good impression of him.
Qi Huan seemed to have only introduced Zhao Hai. Now that he saw Zhao Hai being surrounded by these people, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he held his wine cup and went to the circle of Elders. They sat down and whispered to each other. From time to time, they would glance in Zhao Hai's direction. Clearly, the matter they were discussing was related to Zhao Hai.
In fact, they had already informed their family clans of Zhao Hai's matter. Their family clans had already given them instructions. They were only here to inform each other.
Although the eighteen large family clans had friction from time to time, with them secretly fighting for benefits, they still did very well when it came to external matters. When it came to external matters, they were united. This was to ensure that the entire Desolate race was under the rule of the eighteen large family clans. They would not let others interfere. And this time, Zhao Hai's appearance represented a huge benefit. They originally wanted to keep the news a secret, but as the first to make contact with Zhao Hai was the Fifth Army, and the Fifth Army was not there to keep the secret for them, they had no choice but to announce the news. However, they were also scheming to obtain the greatest benefits from Zhao Hai.
At this moment, Zhao Hai was dealing with the members of the Desolate race. This was the first time the members of the Desolate race had heard of his arrival, so they were extremely excited. Thankfully, Zhao Hai already had experience in attending such banquets, so he was able to handle it with ease.
However, when Liu Xuan saw how Zhao Hai handled it with ease, he frowned slightly and said, "Everyone, did you notice that Zhao Hai seems to be very familiar with such situations? Also, I heard today that when he went out alone, he did not need anyone's help. He could even get the hotel's puppet attendant to call for a car for him. He even chartered a car, bought a communication device, and bought books himself. All of this doesn't seem like a person from the Void Realm. As far as I know, the Void Realm is a purely cultivator world. There are no such things that we commonly use there, so how did he know all this?" Liu Xuan's words resonated with Liu Xuan's words.
Liu Xuan said in a deep voice, "That's right. I also find it strange. Zhao Hai seems to be very familiar with such banquets. Look at him getting the wine, chatting with those people, and even eating. Everything is done so naturally. This is really strange. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to have seen such a scene. Could it be that there are similar banquets in the Void Realm? That shouldn't be difficult, right? "
Qi Huan looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "Observe him for a period of time. After all, he will be under our surveillance for a period of time. He won't be able to stir up any trouble."
