After drinking the first cup of wine, Zhao Hai poured himself a second cup. Then he raised his cup and said, "This cup is for the people of the Lost Soul Empire. After ten thousand years of war, we were finally unified. But then a powerful enemy from the upper realm appeared. We went all out in order to make our own decisions. With the establishment of the twelve formations, the Lost Soul Empire will no longer be afraid of anyone's attack. Today, let's drink to our heart's content!"
At this time, a loud voice was heard from outside the cave, "Cheers! Long live Your Majesty!"
This voice came from the people of the Lost Soul Empire. This wasn't rehearsed, it was done spontaneously. The people of the Lost Soul Empire knew that without Zhao Hai, there would be no Lost Soul Empire. Without the Lost Soul Empire, they wouldn't be able to live as they are now. Although they worked very hard during the construction of the formations, it was worth it. This was because the formations were made for them, they were the ones who benefited the most. Therefore, they were very happy and grateful.
The people inside the cave also picked up their cups and said to Zhao Hai, "Cheers! Long live Your Majesty!"
Zhao Hai laughed, then he drank the wine in his cup. Then he poured himself another cup before he looked at the crowd and said, "This third cup is for Mister Xia. Thank you for joining us in this celebration. Mister Xia is a friend of the Lost Soul Empire, so let's toast him together."
Xia Yu didn't think that Zhao Hai would give him a toast at this time. He quickly stood up and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Mister Zhao is too polite. Today, I will present Buddha with borrowed flowers. I hope that the Lost Soul Empire will become stronger and stronger!"
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Mister Xia. Come, let's drink together." Then he drank another cup of wine. The others also drank, including Xia Yu.
This time, Zhao finally put down his glass. He looked at the crowd and said, "Alright, now that the three cups of wine have been toasted, everyone feel free to drink. Today, we are going to drink to our heart's content." The crowd roared in agreement, and the atmosphere in the cave became lively.
Xia Yu has been watching from the side. He discovered that the people of the Lost Soul Empire didn't care about empty etiquette. They cared more about practicality. Xia Yu liked this feeling very much.
After Zhao Hai finished his toast, he turned his head to Xia Yu and said, "Mister Xia, how did you feel about this seclusion? Is this place really helpful to Mister Xia's cultivation? "
Xia Yu's face was filled with joy as he said, "I gained a lot. This place is very helpful to my cultivation. Thank you Mister Zhao for letting me cultivate here. Xia Yu is very grateful."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Mister Xia, there's no need for that. However, I have something to tell you. Mister Xia, when you came here, you didn't look down on us. That's why we treat you as a friend. However, this place is still our Lost Soul Empire's territory. I hope that Mister Xia can keep this a secret after you return to the upper realm. Don't tell anyone about this place, especially the Evil Spirit Sect. Would Mister Evil agree?"
Xia Yu quickly said, "Of course, Mister Zhao can rest assured. I will definitely keep this a secret."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "We welcome Mister Xia here at any time. When Mister Xia wants to talk, you can also take a plant with you. Mister Xia, you can choose any plant you want here. There's no need to be polite."
Xia Yu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Many thanks, Mister Zhao. I'm very grateful. I'll be returning in a few days. After today, I'll make some jade slips and record some things about the Sword Spirit World. After that, I'll send them to Mister Zhao. After I return, I'll also collect some things for the Lost Soul Empire. I hope that they'll be of help to the Lost Soul Empire."
When Zhao Hai heard Xia Yu, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then I'll have to thank Mister Xia. May I know if Mister Xia has any requests?"
Xia Yu secretly sighed at Zhao Hai's intelligence, Zhao Hai already understood what he meant. Because of this, Xia Yu immediately said, "I hope that we can form an alliance with the Lost Soul Empire. Sometimes, I might need the Lost Soul Empire's help. Naturally, it's not about the Sword Spirit World, it's about the lower realms. For example, collecting materials and herbs. I hope that Mister Zhao can agree. I'll do my best to collect as many things as I can for the Lost Soul Empire. If someone from the Lost Soul Empire ascends, then when they reach the Sword Spirit World, I'll do my best to help."
Zhao Hai looked at Xia Yu and smiled faintly. He didn't think that Xia Yu would be smart enough to see through his intentions. However, it didn't matter. Since Xia Yu said this, then it meant that he really wanted to form an alliance with the Lost Soul Empire. This was a good thing.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then it's settled. There's no need for formalities. There's also no need to write an alliance letter. Let's form a Gentlemen's Alliance. What do you think?"
Xia Yu was overjoyed. This was because he knew that the two of them were in different realms. Writing an alliance letter was simply superfluous. This was because it had no binding force on people from two different realms. Therefore, Zhao Hai's proposal to form a Gentlemen's Alliance was the most appropriate.
Because of this, Xia Yu immediately said, "Alright, then it's best if there's no such thing. Thank you, Mister Zhao." Zhao Hai smiled faintly. Then he picked up his cup and drank with Xia Yu. The alliance was formed.
After the two put down their cups, Zhao Hai looked at Xia Yu and said, "In the future, we'll have to rely on Mister Xia for the matters of the Sword Spirit Boundary. We don't know much about the Sword Spirit Boundary, so we'll have to rely on Mister Xia. Right, what's the situation in the Sword Spirit Boundary? Is it peaceful? "
Xia Yu smiled bitterly and said, "When has the Sword Spirit Boundary ever been peaceful? However, there haven't been any major battles in the Sword Spirit Boundary. Moreover, our Xia Family is located in the South Sea, far away from the Central Continent. Although a lot of cultivators come to the South Sea, very few of them fight with the 72 Islands Alliance. Because of this, the South Sea is very peaceful."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "So that's how it is. So the Sword Spirit Realm is relatively peaceful right now. This news isn't a good thing for us. This is because it means that the Evil Ghost Sect might attack us again. Mister Xia, after you go back, you'll have to wait for five years before coming back. During this time, is there any way for us to communicate with each other?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Xia Yu quickly replied, "There is. I've already prepared this. Mister Zhao Hai, please accept it." After saying that, Xia Yu took out a formation and gave it to Zhao Hai. This formation was made of white jade. The jade was round and smooth, and there was a layer of light on it. One could see that it wasn't an ordinary item. It was only the size of a palm and had a very complex formation engraved on it.
Zhao Hai received the formation and carefully looked at it. He discovered that this formation seemed to be a communication formation. However, it was much more complex than an ordinary communication formation. Moreover, there were a lot of runes in this formation that Zhao Hai had never seen before.
Xia Yu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "This formation was originally prepared for me. Because I didn't know what kind of situation I would encounter here, I prepared this formation. This formation is used by the forces of the Sword Spirit Realm to communicate with the lower realms. Only by using this formation would one be able to communicate with the lower realms without being obstructed by the Spatial Barrier. One can even transmit a part of one's strength to the lower realms. However, people cannot come here, they can only communicate with each other. I was afraid that I would be trapped here, so I prepared two of these formations. I already told my loyal servant that if I don't return home within half a year, the servant would give the formation to my mother. My mother would then find a way to ask for my help. Because I didn't know that there would be people here and I didn't know what kind of danger I would encounter, I prepared this formation. I didn't expect it to come in handy today." Xia Yu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Actually, I've already prepared this formation.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, this formation is good. After Mister returns to the Sword Spirit Boundary, you should help us understand the movements of the Evil Spirit Sect. However, there's no need to be too deliberate. Otherwise, Mister would be in danger. The people of the Evil Spirit Sect aren't weak. Mister should prioritize your own safety."
Xia Yu nodded and said, "I'll do my best. Mister Zhao Hai can rest assured. However, I have a request. I need a spirit plant for my cultivation. I wonder if Mister Zhao Hai can help me find one? In the notes left behind by the Patriarch, he said that ordinary plants can be used to cultivate for three years. After three years, the plant will certainly die. However, he didn't say anything about spirit plants. Therefore, I want to bring a spirit plant back to cultivate. "
Zhao Hai looked at Xia Yu, then he shook his head and said, "Mister Xia, it's not that I can't give you a spirit plant. However, I'm afraid that even if I give it to you, you won't be able to bring it back. It's not that Mister Xia's ancestor didn't want to bring a spirit plant back, it's just that he has no way to do so. Spirit plants are plants with spirituality, which means they are part of the Demon Race. If Mister Xia were to bring a spirit plant back, then he would be affected by the Heavenly Tribulation. At that time, not only would he not be able to bring the spirit plant back, Mister Xia would also be affected. Because of this, Mister Xia's ancestor didn't mention anything about bringing a spirit plant back."
You're right, Mister Zhao is right. Spirit plants are already considered to be part of the Demon Race, they have intelligence. The laws of the world wouldn't allow me to bring a plant with intelligence back. If I do, I would certainly be implicated. Mister Zhao, please remind me. Otherwise, I would be in danger this time. "Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Xia Yu couldn't help but stare blankly. Then he patted his head and said," Mister Zhao, you're right.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to guard against this. However, this matter isn't without a solution. I can give Mister a plant that's about to have spirituality. Mister is proficient in controlling objects, so you shouldn't be unfamiliar with cultivating spirit plants. After Mister brings the plant back, you can cultivate it and see if you can refine it. At that time, it might even have spirituality. What does Mister think?"
