Zhao Hai had paid attention to the Magic Staff, but he had never seen it before. This made Zhao Hai somewhat surprised. He thought for a bit and finally decided to get a Magic Staff first.
For Zhao Hai, getting a Magic Staff was too easy. He also heard from the people in the city why there were so few Magic Staffs. This Magic Staff came from a tree called the Spirit Tree. Its growth rate was very slow, it would only grow about 10 centimeters every ten years. This tree needed to grow at least 3 meters before it could use its branches as a Magic Staff. Even at 3 meters, the branches of this tree were very few. Those that weren't thick enough couldn't be used, and those that were damaged couldn't be used. Therefore, even if it was a mature tree, it could only produce a few dozen Magic Staffs at most.
Naturally, after becoming a tree, it could produce a batch of Magic Staffs every 50 years or so. However, this Magic Staff couldn't be used forever. In general, the lifespan of a Magic Staff was at most 10 years. After 10 years, the branch would wither and couldn't be used anymore. If it wasn't preserved well, then the lifespan of the Magic Staff would be even shorter.
Because of this, although there were a lot of Magic Staffs here, there weren't many of them. In a small city like Aurora City, the number of Magic Staffs sold every year was even less.
And now, Magic Staffs were divided into two types. One was naturally produced, and the other was artificially cultivated. There was no need to talk about the naturally produced Magic Staffs. There were a lot of forests here, and there were very few people there. Naturally, there might be wild Spirit Trees there. If you found a wild mature Spirit Tree, then you could cut off its branches and sell them as Magic Staffs.
As for artificially cultivated Magic Staffs, they were Spirit Trees that had been planted for several generations by large clans. Then, every 50 years, they would harvest some branches. Aside from household use, they would also sell some of them. However, this kind of artificially cultivated Natural Magic Staff wasn't as useful as a naturally formed Natural Magic Staff, and its effects were weaker.
Zhao Hai wanted to sell this Magic Staff. This was because even if you sold this Magic Staff, no one would care. At most, they would think that you were a lucky guy who found a wild Spirit Tree. However, this kind of Spirit Tree took a long time to harvest. So even if they saw you selling this Magic Staff, no one would ask where you got it or where the tree was.
Zhao Hai had already noticed that the number of Natural Magic Staffs in the city was not small. In a city of 100,000 people, the number of Natural Magic Staffs was about 1000. Generally, they were in the hands of the disciples of the Great Clans in the city. Zhao Hai's target was the Natural Magic Staffs in the hands of those disciples.
After observing for so many days, Zhao Hai felt that it was time for him to take action. These days, he had also entered the city several times. Mainly, he wanted to see if there were any empty spaces in the city. At the same time, he also wanted to see what kind of gold and silver coins were in the city.
He had already seen the gold and silver coins. The gold and silver coins here were very special. They were very simple and round. They had a diameter of about 2 centimeters and a thickness of about 2 millimeters. There were two simple words on them, Five Spirits!
At the same time, Zhao Hai also knew that this place was called the Five Spirits Realm. As for why it was called the Five Spirits Realm, Zhao Hai still didn't know. He didn't have the opportunity to find out. Therefore, he decided to open a shop in the city first and then slowly figure out what was going on.
At this time, Zhao Hai already had some gold coins in his hands. These gold coins were all made in the Space. He also made some silver coins and exchanged these gold and silver coins for some seashells. Then he received these seashells into the Space. These seashells actually had a very strong energy. After entering the Space, they were directly absorbed by the Space. However, after absorbing them, the Space actually produced these seashells. This made Zhao Hai very depressed. It seems like if he wants to get these seashells in the future, he wouldn't be able to put them in the Space.
At this time, Zhao Hai had already bought a small shop in Aurora City. However, he still didn't have any goods. Counting the time, he had already been in Aurora City for about seven days. It was almost time for him to make his move.
Zhao Hai's target this time was a disciple of the Lin Clan in the city. This person should be a very talented disciple of the Lin Clan. His status in the Lin Clan was very high, and he had a natural magic staff in his hand. Zhao Hai chose him because this person was very overbearing. He could be said to be a tyrant in the city. He always caused trouble and was called a scourge by the people in the city.
This person was called Lin Qing. Zhao Hai didn't know how strong he was, but this person was also an Ice Soul. His ice crystal was much more beautiful than the ice crystal that Zhao Hai saw in the village. His strength shouldn't be weak.
Zhao Hai discovered that the more ice crystals they had on their heads, the more crystal clear they were. The more beautiful they were, the stronger they were. This made it very easy to distinguish.
Zhao Hai was currently living in a small inn in the city. In order to not attract attention, he changed his figure a little. His figure was the same as a normal person's, and the Wood Soul on his head was also a Wood Soul.
Zhao Hai's current identity was that of a small merchant who came to Aurora City to do business. He had already bought a shop, but the shop was still being renovated. Therefore, he could only temporarily live in the small inn.
With Zhao Hai's many years of life experience, it wasn't difficult for him to get along with the people here. It didn't take long for the people here to recognize Zhao Hai. They knew that he came here to do business, and they also knew that he wanted to buy a natural magic staff. Moreover, he wanted to buy a lot of them. But because the shop was still being renovated, he didn't bring the magic staff.
In the evening, after eating dinner in the small inn, Zhao Hai returned to his shop. The small inn provided three meals for the guests, but there weren't many styles. The taste was also average, but it was cheap. Therefore, many people who stayed here would eat here.
Zhao Hai's current identity was just that of a small merchant. Naturally, it was impossible for him to live in a big hotel. Therefore, he stayed here. As for why a small merchant who lived in such a small inn would buy a natural magic staff, wouldn't this make people suspicious? In fact, Zhao Hai had already thought about this problem. He told the public that his brother was an adventurer who went out to do a mission and accidentally found a spirit tree. He brought the spirit tree's branches back home and then prepared to sell the magic staff and use the money to open a magic staff shop.
One must know that in the small cities of the Five Spirit Realms, almost all of them had a magic staff shop. Moreover, there were a lot of them. Every magic staff shop's business was pretty good. After all, magic staffs were a must-have item in the Five Spirit Realms.
Zhao Hai returned to his room. This was a very ordinary room, there was nothing special about it. When he entered the room, he saw a square table. Behind the door were some toiletries and a bed. The room was only so big, and the yearly rent was very cheap, five silver coins.
Zhao Hai sat on the bed and looked at the sky outside. It was currently night time, and the sky wasn't dark yet. Although this place was far away from the Icefield, it was still affected by the aurora. At this time of the year, the time of night was very short. Therefore, it would take some time for the sky to completely turn dark.
The people here were also used to this kind of life. At this time of the year, even if the sky was still bright, people would return home early to eat dinner and then sleep. They wouldn't wait for the sky to turn dark.
Zhao Hai sat on the bed and quietly waited. After a while, the sky turned dark. Then it became darker and darker. Zhao Hai had been paying attention to the sky. When he saw this situation, Zhao Hai knew that the time was almost up. His figure moved and immediately rushed out of the room's window. After that, his figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhao Hai used an invisibility formation. This formation could make people invisible. Zhao Hai directly flew towards Lin Qing's house.
The Lin Family could be considered a big family in Aurora City. Naturally, the Lin Mansion was very imposing. It occupied several acres of land and had an ice wall outside. There were also people guarding the door.
However, this wasn't a problem for Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai directly entered the Lin Mansion from the sky and then flew towards Lin Qing's courtyard.
The walls outside the Lin Mansion had an early warning formation. If you enter the Lin Mansion through the walls, then the people inside would immediately know. Although Zhao Hai didn't hear about this before, he also didn't know what the formation was like. However, Zhao Hai could feel the faint energy fluctuations of the formation from the walls. As a person who was very proficient in formations, Zhao Hai naturally knew what was going on. Naturally, he wouldn't touch the formation. Instead, he directly entered the Lin Mansion and went to Lin Qing's courtyard.
Lin Qing's courtyard was very elegant. Since there were trees in the courtyard, the house was also an igloo. However, their igloo wasn't the same as the igloo that Zhao Hai saw in the villages. Their igloo was much more imposing, it looked like a palace carved out of ice.
After Zhao Hai entered the courtyard, his feet didn't touch the ground. Instead, he carefully looked around. Then he flew towards Lin Qing's room and carefully sensed the movements inside.
Lin Qing was obviously sleeping. Besides him, there was also a woman. Naturally, Lin Qing wasn't married yet. This woman was also a prostitute that he brought back from the brothel. Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't care about the identity of this woman. He just sat in the courtyard. Then his Divine Sense slowly entered the room and surrounded the Natural Magic Staff. Then the Natural Magic Staff slowly flew out of the room and fell into Zhao Hai's hand.
After receiving the Magic Staff, Zhao Hai directly stored it into the Space. Then his figure moved as he left the Lin Family and returned to the inn. As for what would happen to the Lin Family the next morning, Zhao Hai didn't think about it.
After returning to the Empty Warehouse, Zhao Hai looked at the Magic Staff. Zhao Hai had already planted the Magic Staff underground. Moreover, it was growing very quickly. Under Zhao Hai's attention, it didn't take long for it to reach five meters in height. However, after reaching this height, it stopped growing and stopped.
When Zhao Hai saw this, he was very satisfied. This Spirit Tree contained spiritual energy. Moreover, its ability to conduct and absorb spiritual energy was very strong. No wonder it could be used as a Magic Staff. However, Zhao Hai also noticed a problem. This Magic Staff seemed to be very close to Water Attribute spiritual energy. It didn't seem to be very close to other spiritual energy. It even seemed to reject it.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately understood. It seems like this Spirit Tree was also divided into different attributes. Since the people here were all Water Attribute Beings, this meant that they were all Water Attribute Beings. Because of this, the Magic Staff that was sold here would naturally be of the Water Attribute. It's possible that in other places, the Magic Staff that was sold here would be of other attributes.
Naturally, this was only Zhao Hai's conjecture. His understanding of the Five Spirit Realms was still too little. He needed to know more about the Five Spirit Realms in order to get a more accurate answer. However, with Zhao Hai's experience, the reason why this place was called the Five Spirit Realms was because of their Soul Beings. There were Water Soul Beings, Earth Soul Beings, Tree Soul Beings, Fire Soul Beings, and Metal Soul Beings. This might be the origin of the Five Spirit Realms. In other words, the Five Spirit Realms had the most of these five types of Soul Beings. Naturally, this was only his conjecture. Whether this was the case or not, Zhao Hai would have to wait until he understood the Five Spirit Realms.
Zhao Hai looked at the Spirit Tree and immediately took some of its branches that could be used as Magic Staffs. These branches were the Magic Staffs that he was going to sell.
After doing this, Zhao Hai directly went to bed and rested. He still hasn't seen Laura and the others today, so he really missed them.
The next morning, Zhao Hai woke up at the same time as usual. Then he ate his breakfast in the shop before going out for a stroll. Actually, he wanted to see how the Lin Family would react.
Before long, Zhao Hai received news that the Lin Family had lost their Magic Staffs. They were very shocked. Then they immediately began to investigate the matter of the Magic Staff. Moreover, they also began to look for suspicious people in the city. They even investigated Zhao Hai's inn. However, Zhao Hai had already stayed in the inn for several days. Moreover, he didn't go anywhere these days. Besides strolling around the city, he spent most of his time in his shop. The Lin Family knew that Zhao Hai had bought a shop in the city, so they didn't suspect him. After all, Zhao Hai was now a permanent resident of Aurora City, he wasn't an adventurer who would leave at any time.
Zhao Hai also heard about adventurers from the mouths of others. He was very curious as to why there would be adventurers in the Five Spirit Realms. However, he didn't ask. If he did, then his identity would be exposed. Because of this, in addition to his shop, he also spent a lot of time in the teahouses and taverns. This was because these were good places to gather information. Zhao Hai didn't say anything about adventurers, but he didn't ask.
Although the Lin Family didn't suspect him, Aurora City was still tossed around by the Lin Family. Naturally, the Lin Family also knew that there were some people that they couldn't provoke. Therefore, they only looked for trouble with commoners and dealt with adventurers. Those who had some background, they didn't dare to make a move.
