"Junior Brother Jing Hai, you worried me to death. I didn't expect you to be in seclusion for such a long time. How was it? What did you gain? " Zhang Shuwei was invited to the room by Shui Zhi. When he saw Zhao Hai sitting there drinking tea, he immediately went forward and asked.
Zhao Hai looked at Zhang Shuwei and couldn't help but smile faintly as he said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I've made you worry. Take a seat. Actually, it's nothing much. The reason why I went into seclusion this time was to test the herbs and beasts that I obtained. I wanted to see how their medicinal properties are. Secondly, I wanted to find the most suitable food for my beast. I wanted to see how it can grow as fast as possible. Therefore, I went into seclusion for such a long time."
"Beast? Is it the one that you had on your waist? " When Zhang Shuwei heard Zhao Hai, he immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. When Zhao Hai came to the ship, Zhang Shuwei already noticed the beast that was on Zhao Hai's waist.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's that kind of beast. Actually, that beast was hatched from a beast egg that I obtained when I entered the Holy Gate's Secret Realm. However, it's still in its infancy. After it hatched, I injected it with spiritual qi and then it went into a deep sleep. Now that it finally woke up, I fed it some beast meat as well as some energy. Then it went into a deep sleep once again. Hehe, but it's growing quite fast."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Zhang Shuwei couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at the beast head on Zhao Hai's waist and discovered that it seemed to be bigger than before. Zhang Shuwei curiously asked, "This beast came from the maze?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "When the Iron Buddha Temple entered the maze for the first time, we obtained five beast eggs. In the end, only this one survived. But that was also because the sect didn't seriously incubate it. This beast is actually very easy to incubate. But to be honest, the strength of this beast isn't that great. The Iron Buddha Temple didn't intend to raise this beast because the disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple don't need beasts. But since it was hatched by me, then it should be raised properly."
Zhang Shuwei nodded and said, "That's indeed the case. Once it hatches, it needs to be taken care of. I heard that the Sea Exploring Sect asked for a lot of these eggs. I wonder if they'll be able to hatch them."
"It shouldn't be a problem. I went to the Sea Exploring Sect before and told them about my experience in incubating this beast. They should be able to hatch it."
"Oh? Junior Brother, why did you tell the Sea Exploring Sect how to hatch this beast? Wouldn't this increase the strength of the Sea Exploring Sect? This doesn't seem to be a good thing for the Iron Buddha Temple. "
"There's no reason. The relationship between the Iron Buddha Temple and the Sea Exploring Sect is very good. Moreover, this method of incubation isn't difficult. In fact, the Sea Exploring Sect has already researched it. Even if I didn't tell them, they would still be able to hatch it."
When Zhang Shuwei heard Zhao Hai, he didn't know what to say. He just nodded and said, "So it's like that. What does Junior Brother Jing Hai plan to do next? Do you still want to enter the trench? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "There's no need. I'll just go and take a look at the trench. I'm not counting on that place to make a living. I'm going to take a look at the trading island before heading back. This time, I came to the South Sea to train. Naturally, I want to explore all the places in the South Sea."
Zhang Shuwei smiled and said, "That's a good idea. However, it will take a lot of time. Moreover, Junior Brother, you must be careful. Although the South Sea is regularly cleaned by the 72 Islands, there are still countless sea beasts in the South Sea. Some of these sea beasts are very strong, they can even leave the water to attack people. There are also some sea beasts that can fly in the sky for a long time, and their strength isn't any weaker than cultivators. The surface of the sea is their territory, so you must be careful. After all, the sea is too big, we can't monitor it all the time."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be careful. I'll rest here for a day. Tomorrow, we'll head to the trading island. Right, is that place under the jurisdiction of your Spirit Crab Island?"
"No, it's not that our Spirit Crab Island doesn't have a branch there. This is because that place is very important. It's a special trade market in the trench. That place is controlled by the 72 Islands of the South Sea, it's not only under our jurisdiction."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then we have to go and take a look. Although we managed to get a few sea beasts in the trench, they weren't a lot. Moreover, they were very ordinary. We can go and take a look and see if there's anything special. Right, aren't those Cultivators trading on your ships? Why would they go to the island to trade? "
"Because trading on the island would earn them more than trading here. After all, the price of sea beasts here is cheaper compared to the island. Therefore, most people would still go to the island to trade."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Junior Brother, there's no need to be so polite. You and I must have a drink tonight to send you off."
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't object. The two ate dinner together and drank some wine before Zhao Hai went back to rest. The next morning, Zhao Hai got up early and had a meal. After bidding farewell to Zhang Shuwei, he rode the iron bowl and led Shui Zhi towards the island.
After a day, Zhao Hai and the others finally arrived at the island in the evening. This island was the closest place to the trench. There were a lot of Cultivators gathered here all year round. Most of these Cultivators relied on the trench to make a living.
Compared to the big ships in the trench, the price of trading on the island was actually quite good. It was very fair. After all, there were transmission formations that connected the entire Sword Spirit Realm. If they went too far, then the Cultivators could use the transmission formations to trade elsewhere.
In fact, ever since the Sea Exploring Sect's free trade zone opened, the business of the big ships and the small island had been greatly affected. The Cultivators found that it was more cost-effective to trade in the free trade zone. This was because although the trade on the island wasn't much different from other places, it wasn't cost-effective. The price of the special products of the trench on the island was lower than other places. If this was the case, then the Rogue Cultivators could still endure it. After all, they didn't need to travel too far. Even if the price was lower, it wouldn't matter. If they wanted to go to other places, then they would have to use transmission formations. The cost of going back and forth was about the same. If they didn't use transmission formations, then they would have to fly. Not to mention the danger, the time spent on going back and forth was enough for them to go down the sea. Instead of wasting time on the road, it was better to go down the sea a few more times.
However, it didn't take long before people discovered that if they used the transmission formation to trade in the free trade zone, it would be more cost-effective compared to trading on the island. This was especially true when you accumulate your goods and then trade them in your own trade zone. The things you sell would be more expensive compared to the island, but the cultivation materials you buy would be cheaper. This was very rare. Because of this, the money you save would be more than enough even if you used the transmission formation.
Because of this idea, since the establishment of the free trade zone, the island's business had been greatly affected. However, Zhao Hai didn't know about this. In his opinion, the island was very good. There were a lot of cultivators here, and it was very lively. It looked very prosperous.
Although it was already late, the island was still very lively. All kinds of shops were open. Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi first found a shop to stay in. This shop was opened by the Spirit Crab Island, so naturally, the price was a bit more expensive. However, Zhao Hai didn't care. After opening two shops, he led Shui Zhi out of the inn and strolled around the island.
Before, he said that he would find food for the demon beasts, but that was just an excuse. The demon beasts he raised didn't eat anything. Even if they did, they would eat any kind of demon beast meat. If you inject spiritual qi into them, not only would they not need to eat, they would also grow faster and better. Therefore, there was no need to feed them.
The main reason Zhao came to the island was to take a look at the situation on the island. He wanted to see what kind of things were sold in the market square.
After walking around the island, Zhao Hai was really disappointed. This was because he didn't expect that the island's market didn't have any good things. Not only were they ordinary goods, but the price was also higher than other places. On the contrary, the prices of the demon beasts and herbs were lower than other places. It seems like this island was just a place for the 72 Islands to make money.
Zhao Hai didn't care about it. After resting with Shui Zhi for a night, he led Shui Zhi out of the island. However, he didn't return to the ship. Instead, he flew forward and entered the area that the people from the 72 Islands said had no islands and no footholds. Zhao Hai didn't care about it.
The people from the 72 Islands had always said that this area was very dangerous. Not only did it have no place to stay, but there were also a lot of demon beasts in the sea. These demon beasts were very strong, so Zhao Hai wanted to take a look.
Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi stood on the iron bowl and slowly flew forward. Shui Zhi felt that the surrounding was different. The color of the sea was darker, and the water was denser. It also gave people a kind of pressure. Therefore, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, I feel like there's pressure all around. What's going on?"
Zhao Hai looked around and said, "We're already in the deep sea, so it's natural for you to feel this way. It doesn't matter, I came here this time to see what kind of sea beasts are like. The people of the 72 Islands weren't said to be attacked by sea beasts. This made me want to take a look." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry.
