Jibei dark ocean, a place of extreme coldness.
The monsters and sea beasts here all have a common trait, their defense is extremely strong.
After tens of thousands of years of evolution, their bodies are different from ordinary monsters. Their fur is thick and their bones are as hard as steel. Ordinary swords would not be able to cause any substantial damage to them.
If one were to compare physical and magical attacks.
The Nether Sea Demon Beasts were practically immune to physical attacks, while the damage from magic attacks was doubled.
Qin Tian and Meng Fanyi travelled for hundreds of thousands of li. After half a month, they finally reached the last city on the way to Jibei dark ocean, Evil Demon city.
Evil Demon city, also known as Sin city, belongs to the ungoverned area.
However, this place has its own rules, laws, and punishments. Those who do not follow the rules will be chased out of the city or killed on the spot.
No matter what you did in the past, demon king, traitor of the immortal sects, once you enter the city, you will not be pursued. If there are people chasing after you, the Evil Demon city leader will personally deal with you.
The Evil Demon city leader's strength is extremely terrifying. It is rumored that he has already reached the universe realm.
In the entire Tianyuan continent, universe realm experts are few and far between.
Due to fear, some of the immortal sects left Evil Demon city alone, unwilling to provoke the Evil Demon city leader.
Thus, with the protection of the city leader, Evil Demon city became a paradise for evil people. Here, you will never have to worry about being chased.
Of course, if you leave the city, you will not be under the protection of the city leader.
Other than those who have committed heinous crimes, this is the only road to Jibei dark ocean. To enter Jibei dark ocean, one must pass through Evil Demon city.
Evil Demon city produces a type of pearl that allows one to breathe in water, the Water Avoidance Pearl.
Those who wish to go to Jibei dark ocean must have this pearl. With it, one would not have to worry about breathing in the depths of thousands of li. At the same time, the water pressure is the same as on land, an essential item for adventurers.
Other than the Water Avoidance Pearl, Evil Demon city also has a large scale auction house.
Jibei dark ocean is filled with countless treasures.
It was rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, the Netherworld Sea was the territory of the Demon Race, where countless treasures of the Demon Race were hidden. During the ancient war, a powerful Saint brought down a monstrous flood from outer space, which instantly annihilated the territory, and buried countless treasures at the bottom of the sea.
For adventurers, especially those who practiced demonic arts, the Jibei Nether Sea was the best place.
When Qin Tian and Meng Fanyi reached the city gate, two guards blocked their path with their spears and said, "Please pay the entrance fee."
"How much?" Qin Tian asked.
"One crystal core per person."
"One core?" Meng Fanyi was stunned, "The cost is too high."
The guard's face was expressionless, and his expression was firm, as if he was doing his job professionally.
Qin Tian handed over three cores and laughed, "Big brother, these two cores are the entrance fee, the remaining one is for you two to drink tea with."
The guard's eyes brightened. Looking at Qin Tian, he smiled, "Well said, well said, haha … …"
"I would like to ask, where can I buy the best Water Avoidance Pearl?" Qin Tian asked.
"Water Repelling Pearl? Are you going to explore the Netherworld Sea? " The guard was startled. Seeing that Qin Tian was only a rank six spirit refining realm cultivator, not even his own strength. To want to search for treasures in the Netherworld Sea, wasn't that courting death? That was what he thought, but he couldn't be bothered to persuade him. In this day and age, some people would go crazy thinking about treasures. How could they listen to his advice? He sighed and said, "There's a shop in the south of the city that specializes in selling Water Avoidance Pearls. However, if you want to buy a good Water Avoidance Pearl, you'll have to go to the auction house."
"Why do we need to go to the auction house to buy Water Avoidance Pearls?" Meng Fanyi could not understand.
The guard smiled mysteriously and weighed the core in his hand, "Only in the auction house can you buy the purest Water Avoidance Pearl. As for other places, hehe … …"
After laughing a few times, he did not continue.
Qin Tian cupped his fist, "Thank you."
After that, the two of them walked towards the city.
On the way, Meng Fanyi still could not understand. The auction house was only a place for auctioning items, why would they sell Water Avoidance Pearls? Could it be that there would be an auction every day?
Qin Tian smiled faintly, "This situation isn't hard to understand. You just have to think about the benefits and you will understand."
The production of Water Avoidance Pearls was tightly controlled by the Evil Demon city leader. To increase the influence of the auction house, some pure and good Water Avoidance Pearls would be sold in the form of auctions.
Those who enter Evil Demon city are mostly adventurers and would need Water Avoidance Pearls. Just by collecting entrance fees, one would not be able to earn much.
Selling Water Avoidance Pearls in the form of auctions is different. If you want to search for treasures in the Netherworld Sea and adventure, you would need to use Water Avoidance Pearls. Good Water Avoidance Pearls are all controlled by the auction house. You would need to spend a lot of money to bid for them. If not, wanting to enter the Netherworld Sea is just wishful thinking.
Not only would it raise the reputation of the auction house, it would also earn more.
After a long while, Meng Fanyi's eyes brightened. He stared at Qin Tian and smiled, "Brother Qin, not only is your cultivation speed fast, your mind is also very smart."
The two of them came to Jibei Dark Sea, with nine out of ten chances of survival.
Originally, Qin Tian wanted to find some less dangerous missions to raise the strength of Lin Yan and the others. Now, thinking about the inner disciple top hundred competition half a year later, if he doesn't break through to the ascension realm as soon as possible, he might not be able to keep his life.
Without a choice, he let Meng Fanyi think of a way to settle Lin Yan and the others down.
What Lin Yan and the others lacked was cultivation and not actual combat. Even if Qin Tian brought them here, they might not have a big breakthrough. On the contrary, Qin Tian himself might not even be able to guarantee his survival, thus he had no time to care about them.
Finally, Meng Fanyi used his connections to arrange for them to enter the best cultivation space in the outer sect, doubling their cultivation speed. This cost Qin Tian 50000 merits.
However, to be able to help them raise their cultivation, a few tens of thousands of merits were nothing to Qin Tian.
The two of them came to the only auction house in Evil Demon city. At this moment, the inside was already bustling with noise, like a market.
Qin Tian smiled and walked in.
"Are the two of you here to auction or to bid?"
Stepping into the door, they were stopped by an auction house worker.
"Bid."
"Oh, then please pay the entrance fee of two cores."
"What?" Meng Fanyi was stunned and shouted, "Entering the city requires a fee, entering the auction house also requires a fee. Your Evil Demon city might as well not be called Evil Demon city, just call it Robbery city."
"If the two of you do not wish to pay the entrance fee, then please leave."
Qin Tian took out two cores and handed them over, "Only two cores, brother Meng, there's nothing to be angry about."
After receiving the Crystal Core, the staff member immediately welcomed them with a smile. He handed over two small wooden plates with a string of numbers engraved on them. He respectfully said, "This is your number. Just raise your plate when bidding. If you two need Crystal Cores, you can go up to the third floor to exchange. We will not cheat anyone, it is an equivalent exchange."
"Thanks."
Qin Tian said casually and pulled Meng Fanyi inside.
