Zhao Hai felt that he was inside a very warm liquid. This liquid seemed to be able to penetrate through a person's skin and then flow out. Along with the flow of the liquid, some dirt and dust were also brought out by the liquid.
Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't have any dirt in his body. Therefore, he only felt that the liquid didn't take anything away. However, he believed that Stonehammer and the others wouldn't feel this way.
Zhao Hai didn't think about leaving the water. He believed that he would be able to leave when the time comes. And sure enough, his guess wasn't wrong. Before long, he felt the buoyancy of the water increase. Then Zhao Hai appeared on the water's surface.
Zhao Hai opened his eyes and saw that he was inside a huge lake. The lake's water was very strange. It was bright silver, it looked like a huge mercury lake.
Zhao Hai turned his head and saw that Stonehammer and the others had also appeared on the lake. However, their faces were still in a daze. Before long, Stonehammer and the others saw Zhao Hai. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, they immediately surrounded him. Zhao Hai nodded to them and then looked towards the lake.
There were a lot of people standing on the lakeside. Zhao Hai swept his gaze over these people and then saw Wen Wenhai and the others. Wen Wenhai and the others were excitedly waving to Zhao Hai. However, they didn't enter the lake.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then nodded to Wen Wenhai. Then Zhao Hai turned to Stonehammer and said, "Let's go." Then Zhao Hai led Stonehammer and the others towards Wen Wenhai and the others.
As soon as Zhao Hai and the others came ashore, Wen Wenhai and the others immediately surrounded them. Not only Wen Wenhai, but also Yu Jiaolong, Che Xiaoguang, and the others. Everyone from the Lost Soul Empire was here, except for Hu Yuan.
Wen Wenhai and the others gathered around Zhao Hai and said, "Boss, you're finally here. We missed you so much. Great, you're finally here."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and nodded. "Yes, the domestic matters have been dealt with, so I naturally came over. Hehe, how is it? How are you doing now? "
Wen Wenhai and the others nodded. Just as they were about to speak, a voice came from the side, "Who are you people? Come and pay the fee. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Zhao Hai turned his head and saw several Cultivators looking at them with an unfriendly expression. These Cultivators were wearing ordinary warrior robes, but their robes were the same. It seems like they were from the same group.
Wen Wenhai stared, then his expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Hai waved his hand and smiled faintly, "Everyone, what do we have to pay?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, the expressions of the Cultivators relaxed. Then one of them said, "We want something worth fifty-three spirit stones. Do you know about spirit stones?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "We know a bit. However, we don't have any spirit stones, only some herbs. I'll give them to you. I don't know if they're worth fifty spirit stones." After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand as several jade boxes appeared in his hand. Then Zhao Hai opened the jade boxes. Inside the jade boxes were several herbs. Although these herbs were very common, like ginseng and the like, they were very old. They could be considered good things that were hard to come by.
When the Cultivators saw these herbs, their eyes couldn't help but light up. Then the leader looked at Zhao Hai and saw that Zhao Hai's face was calm. He just looked at them calmly, not showing any signs of anger. However, this calmness made Zhao Hai even more terrifying.
The leader couldn't figure out what was going on. If it was any other time, they would surely bully these newly ascended people. Especially when they meet someone as generous as Zhao Hai, they wouldn't let him go. But today, the leader didn't know why, but he felt that it would be better to restrain himself.
Moreover, the existence of Wen Wenhai and the others made the leader not dare to go too far. Although he didn't know Wen Wenhai, when he saw that Wen Wenhai came to pick up Zhao Hai, he knew that Zhao Hai had some foundation in the Sword Spirit Realm. Moreover, he must have a way to contact the Sword Spirit Realm. Otherwise, no one would come to pick him up. Because of this, these people didn't dare to go too far with Zhao Hai. The leader looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Alright, let's go. Remember, don't come to the cleansing pond in the future. Once you pass the cleansing pond, everything that you did in the lower realms will return to dust. Your identity in the Sword Spirit Realm is just an ordinary Rogue Cultivator. As for what a Rogue Cultivator is, you should know someone here, so you can ask him."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand and led Wen Wenhai and the others out.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others came out of the lake. When they arrived outside, they saw that the lake was actually on top of a mountain. This mountain was very strange. There were almost no plants, only rocks were present. There was only one path down the mountain, and it wasn't very wide. It was very difficult to walk on.
Wen Wenhai walked beside Zhao Hai with an ashamed expression. Then he said to Zhao Hai, "Boss, I'm sorry. I've lost face for you. I've been here for a long time, but I couldn't even handle such a small matter."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "This isn't your fault. You're no longer a peak expert in the Lost Soul Empire. You're just a cultivator at the lowest level here. To be honest, it's already good that you're still alive. Right, I heard that you've formed a gang with more than 100 members?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "You're right.
Wen Wenhai was somewhat embarrassed as he said, "Yes, but we only have so few people. I'm really sorry to Boss. However, life here is very difficult."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's already very good. Right, didn't I tell you to move towards the 72 Southern Islands? Why did you come here again? "
"We've already moved. This time, we're here to pick you up. If we've been developing in the Spirit Pool Mountain, then we wouldn't have so few people. Those people also wouldn't have treated us like this."
"Hahaha, good, it's good that you've moved. Right, where are you now? How far is it from the 72 Southern Islands? "
"Boss, the territory we're currently in is the territory of the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea. It's just that it's not the Xia Family's territory. The Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea are an alliance of rogue cultivators, so they treat rogue cultivators very well. Our life there is pretty good. The place we're currently living in is called Tideview City, a small seaside town. There's nothing special about it, but it's really good."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, then how do we get there? By using transmission formations? "
Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Right, we'll take the transmission formation. The Sword Spirit Realm is the same as the Lost Soul Empire. All the cities have already established transmission formations. However, all the transmission formations here require spirit stones to use. Let's go, Boss. Once we reach Spirit Mountain City, we'll be able to use the transmission formation to leave."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then let's go. I'm very curious, I want to see what the Sword Spirit Realm looks like."
Wen Wenhai nodded, then the group quickened their pace. They didn't fly because Zhao Hai can feel that the laws of heaven and earth in Spirit Pool Mountain don't allow people to fly. Whether it's going up or down the mountain, they can only walk.
There were several cities at the foot of Spirit Pool Mountain. These cities weren't very big, but there were a lot of people living here. Naturally, there were some high-class residential areas inside the city walls. Outside the city, there were a lot of people living here. These people lived in very simple places. Some of them were just ordinary stone houses. They didn't look very good.
Spirit Mountain City that Zhao Hai's group wanted to go to was one of the cities at the foot of Spirit Pool Mountain. Before long, Zhao Hai's group arrived outside Spirit Mountain City. Zhao Hai looked at the small city and said, "There's a transmission formation here? Can we go to Tideview City? "
Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "It's impossible to go directly to Tideview City from here. We have to go to Sword Intent City first and then take the transmission formation from there."
Zhao Hai nodded, then looked at the cultivators guarding the city gate. These cultivators were wearing warrior clothes, standing at the gate and constantly looking around. The clothes that these people wore were the same as the clothes that Zhao Hai had seen at the edge of the washing pond. It seems like they were in the same group. Zhao Hai nodded, then looked at the cultivators guarding the gate. These cultivators wore the same clothes that Zhao Hai had seen at the edge of the washing pond. It seems like they were in the same group.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything as he followed Wen Wenhai into the city. When they arrived at the city gate, Wen Wenhai took out a few spirit stones and placed them in a box next to the gate. Then he led Zhao Hai's group into the city.
After entering the city, Wen Wenhai turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Boss, Spirit Pool Mountain is now under the control of several large forces. Every month, they would take turns to collect spirit stones from the cleansing pond. If a newly ascended person doesn't give them spirit stones or other things, they would kill them. In any case, this place is lawless. They are the heavens here, whatever they say goes."
Zhao Hai nodded, then the group entered Spirit Mountain City. The city wasn't big, but the houses inside were very good. Zhao Hai looked at the houses and smiled faintly, "It seems like the people living in this city have some status. Moreover, there are even shops here. It's really good." Zhao Hai nodded, then the group entered Spirit Mountain City.
Wen Wenhai replied in a deep voice, "This place is a bottomless pit. It's a place where the major forces here extract benefits from those who have just ascended. It's really not a good place. Many cultivators who have ascended have died here silently. They were also people with limitless glory in the lower realm. Who would have thought that they would end up like this in the upper realm? Now I understand why Boss said that we have to rely on ourselves to make a name for ourselves in the Sword Spirit World. In the Sword Spirit World, the people of the Sword Spirit World simply look down on us. The only ones who are still kind to us are the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands. But after so many years of development, the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands have become natives. They don't care about our life and death, so we still have to rely on ourselves here."
