After resting in the market for a day, Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi left. The two didn't fly directly, but instead stepped on an iron bowl that Zhao Hai took out. In fact, this iron bowl was something that Zhao Hai took out to deceive people. He had as many iron bowls as he wanted, and the reason why he took out an iron bowl was to let people know that he was a monk. This was because iron bowls were the most commonly used magic tools of monks. They can be used for both offense and defense, and were very useful.
Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi flew along the market. In fact, the map that they bought didn't include a large part of the map. For example, the area between the market and the coastline was the area where Cultivators were the most active. Because of this, it wasn't included in the map. However, the map still showed that part of the sea, as well as the islands in that part of the sea.
In fact, in the eyes of the 72 Islands of the South Sea, only after passing through the market would the southern part of the sea be considered the true South Sea. As for the part of the sea near the coastline, it could only be considered the inland sea, not the true South Sea.
Zhao Hai didn't doubt the map of the inland sea. The 72 Islands of the South Sea might be fake, but it was also impossible for them to fake that part of the map. This was because there were too many people in that part of the map. Almost every place had been explored. If you were to fake it, then it would immediately be discovered.
Zhao Hai slowly flew forward while paying attention to the map. The Space even calculated the scale of the map so that it could determine where Zhao Hai and the others were, as well as the islands that were closest to them. These were all marked on the map.
Zhao Hai also released a lot of silver needles this time. However, these silver needles didn't fly in the sky, instead, they directly entered the sea. Not only did Zhao Hai want to know what was in the sea, he also wanted to know what was in the sea.
Zhao Hai continued to fly forward. He calculated that with his current speed, he would only need to fly for an entire day. At night, he would arrive at a small island to rest. The island was also a good supply point. There were even a lot of Cultivators who would go there to trade. It can be said that the island was also a small market. However, because Spirit Crab Island didn't manage this place, the market was relatively chaotic. Killing and looting happened from time to time. There were also a lot of Cultivators who got cheated there.
Don't think that there were no counterfeits in the Cultivation World. In fact, people's bad habits were the same everywhere. There were a lot of Cultivators who relied on counterfeiting to make a living. They would take some low-level demon beast materials or other materials and make them look like high-level materials. This way, they would be able to sell them for a good price.
Things like this were not rare. Therefore, a lot of Cultivators would be deceived, especially those who didn't have much experience. Therefore, small markets like this often represented chaos and disorder.
However, small markets like this had always existed. Many people liked to trade in such small markets because there were no fees. For those rogue cultivators who valued each piece of crystal stone very much, it was worthwhile to save some transaction fees even if they had to travel a little more.
Zhao Hai's goal tonight was to rest there. Although it was nothing for Zhao Hai to fly in the sky for a day, in fact, he didn't need to spend any effort at all. Moreover, Shui Zhi wouldn't betray him. However, Zhao Hai was still very careful because he wanted to know the situation on the island.
Although this place wasn't close to the sea, it was still an area where Cultivators were more active. In such an area, if there were any powerful demon beasts, they would have already been cleaned up. After all, powerful demon beasts represented a huge amount of wealth. The things on their bodies could be regarded as the best materials and were very valuable.
Even if he knew this, Zhao Hai still took the terrain of the sea into his Space. This was because he wanted to make the most detailed map of the South Sea.
There was nothing to do today. When night fell, Zhao Hai arrived at the island as he wished. However, when he arrived, the sky was already dark. What surprised Zhao Hai was that the sky was already dark, but the island was still very lively. The island could be described as brightly lit. Illumination formations could be seen everywhere. Moreover, there was a hubbub of voices that could be heard from afar. The degree of liveliness was beyond imagination.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything as he flew directly to the island. After arriving, he received his iron bowl and landed. The two's actions attracted the attention of some people on the island. Several people immediately came over. Shui Zhi was immediately on guard as he walked in front of Zhao Hai. He spread his hands as he looked at the people surrounding them.
When the group saw this, they immediately stopped. Then one of the Cultivators looked at the two and said, "Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand. We don't have any malicious intentions. We're just businessmen on the island. Since you've just arrived, how can we help you?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai understood what the Cultivator meant. He waved his hand, causing Shui Zhi to retreat to Zhao Hai's side. However, this made the people even more curious about Zhao Hai. They wanted to know about Zhao Hai's identity. How could a Monk lead a group of people?
Zhao Hai held his palms together and said, "Amitabha. This poor monk has seen the benefactors. We were just rushing to the island and wanted to rest for the night. We don't have anything that we want to buy, so you don't need to worry about it." Zhao Hai nodded.
"It turns out that Grandmaster wants to rest on the island. However, Grandmaster may not know the situation on the island. Although the environment on the island is good, there are no buildings. Although there are two stone houses, they have been occupied by others to open shops. If Grandmaster wants to rest on the island, in addition to sleeping on the ground, you can also rent a tent. If Grandmaster wants to rent a tent, we can also help."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai stared. Then he looked at the group and said, "There are people who rent tents on the island? I really didn't expect that. How do you rent tents on the island? "
When the man heard Zhao Hai, he knew that business was coming, so he immediately said, "Grandmaster, the tents on the island are different. If you want to rent a good tent, then it would naturally be more expensive. If you want to rent a bad tent, then it would naturally be cheaper. If Grandmaster wants to eat, then we can also provide it, we can guarantee that it will be very cheap.
Zhao looked at the man and smiled faintly. "I'm very curious. I want to know how many crystal stones it would cost to have a big tent that can accommodate the two of us and also have a good dinner."
"Only ten second-class crystals. As long as you have ten second-class crystals, Grandmaster can live in the best tent on the island. You can also eat a good dinner. What does Grandmaster think?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then he said, "Alright, then you can lead us there. I want to see if the tent is worth the price."
When the person heard Zhao Hai, he was overjoyed and said, "Grandmaster, please come with me. I can guarantee that Grandmaster will feel that it's worth it." Then he led Zhao Hai to the market.
This makeshift market was really temporary. Here, one could see some people setting up stalls. Most of them were holding a piece of cloth or a piece of animal skin on the ground. There were some small things on the ground. Some were medicinal herbs, some were ores, and there were even some fragments of magical tools.
As for the people who had tents, they could be considered as shops. There were a lot of things inside, and the sound of people buying and selling could be heard from time to time. It was very lively.
Zhao Hai looked around and saw that there were about ten thousand Cultivators here. This was beyond his expectations. He didn't think that there would be so many people in a temporary market on such a small island. Zhao Hai curiously asked the Cultivator who led him, "Fellow Daoist, is this place this lively every day? Or is it only occasionally? "
The Cultivator immediately replied, "Grandmaster, this place is like this every day. Every day, there will be new people coming and leaving. Today is a day when there are fewer people. When there were more people than now, there were more than thirty thousand people on the island. Everyone was trading and interacting with each other. It was very lively."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I didn't think that this place would be so lively. Right, don't you want to join a sect? Why are you all here instead of going to the Sword Spirit Boundary? "
When the Cultivator heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but pause. Then he sighed and said, "Of course we want to join a sect, but it's not that easy. The sects in the Sword Spirit Boundary haven't opened their doors to accept disciples. Even if we want to join, we can't. Therefore, we can only make a living here."
Zhao Hai looked at the Cultivator and said, "I heard that the Sea Exploring Sect has opened their doors recently. The first batch is for children with potential. The second batch will be for Rogue Cultivators. As long as they are strong and have a clean background, they will have a chance to join the Sea Exploring Sect."
The person who led the way stopped, he looked at Zhao Hai with a pleasantly surprised expression and said, "Is what Grandmaster said true? Is the Sea Exploring Sect really recruiting disciples? Right, it has been several months since they were established. It should be time for them to recruit disciples. Many thanks to Grandmaster for telling us this. May I ask when the Sea Exploring Sect will start recruiting disciples? "
Zhao Hai replied, "It seems like they've already started recruiting. However, they'll only be recruiting for a short period of time. If you want to go, you can go tomorrow. As long as you enter the Sea Exploring Sect's territory and find a branch, you can register there. As long as you pass their test, you can become a disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the Sea Exploring Sect.
The person who led the way gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster. The people on this island are all Rogue Cultivators. We don't have any problems. Tomorrow, we'll go and explore the Sea Alliance."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "As long as they aren't disciples of other sects and aren't weak, then it's possible for them to join the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect seems to be accepting a lot of disciples this time. Although all of them are outer disciples and some are service disciples, I heard that their treatment is very good."
The Cultivator turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Many thanks, Grandmaster. How does Grandmaster know about this? Have you been to the Sea Exploring Sect? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Of course I've been there. The Iron Buddha Temple and the Sea Exploring Sect have a very good relationship. Before this poor monk entered the South Sea, he had paid a visit to the Sea Exploring Sect. How could I not know?"
This tent is made from the skin of a kind of underwater beast in the South Sea. It's waterproof and windproof. Moreover, you can feel the ventilation inside. It can also be used as a boat in the sea. It's a special kind of tent in the South Sea. Grandmaster, this is your first time in the South Sea, so you aren't familiar with these tents. Almost every Rogue Cultivator in the South Sea has one. Those who don't have one are newcomers. "
This made Zhao Hai stare. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Then this poor monk won't be polite. We want to rest early, please lead the way."
The Cultivator nodded and led Zhao Hai forward. Before long, they arrived in front of a tent. This tent was very big, it seems like it could accommodate ten people. The Cultivator led Zhao Hai and the others into the tent. Upon entering the tent, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. He didn't expect the layout of the tent to be very good. The floor of the tent was made of beast skin. This kind of beast skin was very smooth and black. Stepping on it felt like stepping on plastic. Moreover, it was very tough. It was a very good thing.
Besides this kind of beast skin, there were also other beast skins inside the tent. These beast skins were quite common in the continent. It seems like this was a place for people to rest. What was even rarer was that there was a small table inside the tent. There were also some teacups and other things. Naturally, there was also an iron kettle. This was already a very good thing inside the tent.
However, there was a person inside the tent. This person looked to be about 40 years old. He had a big beard on his face. He was tall and muscular, he looked like a Body Cultivator. Moreover, he seemed to have reached a certain level of maturity.
The Cultivator who led the way said, "Old Lu, quickly come and greet the Iron Buddha Temple's Grandmaster. The Grandmaster just told me some news. I promised the Grandmaster that we will take care of the Grandmaster's food and lodging today. Moreover, this tent will also be given to the Grandmaster."
When the Cultivator surnamed Lu heard the Cultivator, he couldn't help but stare. However, he still cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "I've seen the Grandmaster. Grandmaster, you can rest here today. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to tell me."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha. Thank you, Benefactor."
