White clouds filled the sky, and a spirit beast soared into the sky.
On the back of a massive spirit beast, Zhang Xuan stood by the window and gazed into the distance.
This was a Transcendent Mortal 3-dan spirit beast, and it was the mount of 'gongzi' Zhao Feiwu.
After learning about the existence of the soul oracles and Honghai City, Zhang Xuan immediately left with Zhao Ya and the others.
As the emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom, Mo Yu had many important matters to attend to. Naturally, she couldn't accompany Zhang Xuan on his journey, so she stayed behind in the capital and requested Luo Qianhong to take care of her.
Initially, Zhang Xuan intended to ride on the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast, but upon hearing that Honghai City was more than a million li away, he immediately gave up on the idea.
Given that the Howling Firmament Beast was only at Zhizun realm, even if it traveled day and night, it would still take at least a month.
On the other hand, Zhao Feiwu's mount had already reached Transcendent Mortal 3-dan, and its back was spacious as well. With everyone seated on it, it didn't feel cramped at all. On top of that, Zhang Xuan insisted on traveling with her, so he didn't turn her down.
This was already the fifth day.
"Teacher, aren't you a poison master? How did you become the subordinate of the envoy... "
It wasn't easy for him to meet his teacher once more. Gu Mu also followed behind him, and he stared at Jin Conghai doubtfully.
Poison masters were existences that people would pale at the mention of, and they would usually stay far away from the royal court. Why did his teacher become the loyal guest of this' gongzi '?
Jin Conghai hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Back then, I left the Poison Temple to exact vengeance. However, I was ambushed by my opponent, and even though I managed to kill him, I was severely injured. It was gongzi's father who saved me... In order to prevent others from learning of my identity as a poison master, I rarely use poison anymore!"
Just as Gu Mu thought, poison masters rarely pledged loyalty to others. It wasn't that they were unwilling, but those who accepted such a person would be ostracized... Just think about it, who would dare to accept them?
Jin Conghai was saved by gongzi's father, and he had been following him ever since. In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, it had been many years since he last used poison. In the eyes of others, he was only a diligent subordinate. Little did they know that he was a fearsome 4-star poison master.
"Teacher!"
Paying no heed to the conversation between the master and disciple, Yuan Tao and the others walked over.
At this time, with the help of the Spirit Beast Blood, Yuan Tao had once again activated his Emperor's Bloodline. His strength had increased tremendously and he had already reached the peak of Grandmaster. He was no weaker than Zhao Ya.
As for Zheng Yang, Wang Ying, Liu Yang, and Sun Qiang, Zhang Xuan gave each of them a lotus seed.
This time, Zhang Xuan had only imparted a simplified version of the Heaven's Path Divine Art.
Even so, with the help of the Red Flame Lotus Seed and the simplified version of the Heaven's Path Cultivation Method, their progress was as easy as drinking water. In just five days, they had broken through several levels, and now all of them had reached the Zongshi Early-stage.
Although he was slightly inferior to Zhao Ya and Xiao Luo, his strength was very solid and didn't feel weak at all. More importantly, the lotus seed hadn't even consumed one percent of its energy.
If they were to absorb all of its energy, even if they couldn't reach Zhizun realm pinnacle, they wouldn't be too far from it.
Seeing such a valuable Crimson Flame Lotus Seed being given away so casually, even allowing their students and servants to achieve breakthroughs swiftly, Zhao Feiwu and the others felt their hearts crumbling. However, as the number of times they broke down increased, they gradually got used to it.
To them, Zhang Xuan was no longer a person who could be judged by common sense.
Rather than feeling more and more exhausted, they might as well accept it calmly.
"Honghai City is right ahead!"
The spirit beast continued forward, and soon, a massive city appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was extremely close to the ground, and the countless buildings looked like tiny particles embedded in the ground, reflecting the light of the sun.
Xuanyuan Royal City was huge, but compared to Honghai City, it was nothing at all. It was no different from a remote village.
As expected of one of the largest cities in the League of Nations. Putting aside everything else, just the size and architectural style was something that Conferred Kingdoms and Tier-1 Kingdoms couldn't compare to.
"Honghai City is a gathering place for merchants from all over the world. Not just Xuanyuan Kingdom, Chihe Kingdom, Liusu Kingdom, and many other Conferred Kingdoms conduct trade here as well. This can be said to be the most prosperous city in the entire Alliance of Kingdoms! "
Zhao Feiwu explained.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
There was a book in Tianwu Kingdom's Book Collection Vault that introduced Honghai City. It was known as the City of Commerce, and most of the trade and communication between the League of Nations and its subordinate kingdoms took place here.
In terms of prosperity, it even surpassed the capital and Myriad Kingdom City.
"The League of Nations isn't a small place like Xuanyuan Kingdom. Even though your cultivation has reached Half-Transcension, it's best for you to be careful here."
Zhao Feiwu said with a grim expression, "Honghai City's Mingshi Tang has a 4-star master teacher. Even though he's only at 4-star intermediate stage, his true strength has already reached Transcendent Mortal 3-dan Yin-Yang realm!"
"Yin-Yang Mirror?" Zhang Xuan looked at her.
He knew that above Fighter 9-dan was Transcendent Mortal, and Transcendent Mortal was also divided into 9 dans. However, he didn't know the exact details.
"There are a total of 9 dans of Transcendent Mortal, namely 1-dan Prolonged Longevity, 2-dan Origin Energy, 3-dan Yin-Yang, 4-dan Clarifying Turbidity, 5-dan Consonant Spirit, 6-dan Heaven Bridge, 7-dan Perfect Harmonization, 8-dan Void Treading, and 9-dan Chrysalis!"
Understanding Zhang Xuan's intentions, Zhao Feiwu explained, "You should already know of the Prolonged Longevity realm. At this realm, even though one's strength will be maintained at 100,000, one's lifespan will exceed a hundred. Every time you increase a small level, your lifespan will increase a little. At the peak, you can live up to 200 years. "
"As for the Second Level Essence Qi Realm, it is to take the zhenqi in one's body a step further, transforming it into Essence Qi that can move the nature of heaven and earth. Vitality is completely different from zhenqi. The former represents strength and life potential, while the latter can be fused with nature and can be obtained from nature. It can already reveal countless mysteries! "
"It's just like an ordinary piece of paper. Infused with Primal Qi, it's highly possible for it to gain sentience and float in the air on its own. As such, the Origin Energy realm is what we often refer to as the Dharmic Energy realm. Primal Qi is the same as the Dharmic Energy realm. "
"As for the Third Level Yin-Yang Mirror, yin and yang complement one another, enhancing one's prowess. At this cultivation realm, one's strength can no longer be restricted, and one can already wield the strength to destroy the world! Just like a mountain in the distance, one can shatter it with a single strike. "
Zhao Feiwu had a deep understanding of cultivation realms, and she began explaining them.
"A mountain can shatter with a single strike?"
Zheng Yang and the others were astonished.
Upon reaching Zongshi realm, they already felt that one was formidable. One could easily throw a boulder weighing several thousand kilograms, and with a single punch, even steel could be bent.
But no matter how strong one was, that was only the limit of one's physical body. To destroy a mountain with a single punch was still far from the level of a deity.
It was no wonder why Transcendent Mortal realm was also known as Spirit realm. Even a Half-Transcension cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand such strength.
"As for Transcendent Mortal 4-dan Clarifying Turbidity realm, one's Origin Energy is divided into clear and turbid, and one's soul is divided into light and heavy. In other words, this is an opportunity for a cultivator to raise their Origin Energy (zhenqi) realm. Needless to say, the benefits of raising one's Origin Energy (zhenqi) realm will be immense! "
Zhao Feiwu chuckled. "The 4-star pinnacle master teacher of Myriad Kingdom City, Pavilion Master Kang, is at this level. Only upon reaching this level can one be said to be able to stand at the top of the League of Nations, and no one dares to offend him. As for 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm, I've only heard of it, and it's beyond the scope of the League of Nations. As such, I'm not too sure about the details. "
"I see!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Just like the nine dans of Fighter, Transcendent Mortal 9-dan required one to put in endless effort and perseverance.
But of course, Zhang Xuan still had to gather countless secret manuals to compile the Heaven's Path Divine Art.
"We're here, let's go down!"
In the time it took for them to speak, Honghai City had already arrived. The savage beast flapped its wings and descended.
Just like the other capital cities, one had to pay a fee to enter the city. After Zhang Xuan flashed his master teacher emblem, the fee was waived.
Walking through the wide streets of Honghai City, the surroundings were bustling with all kinds of items for sale.
The most valuable Phantom pinnacle weapon in the Lin Clan could be bought from any of the shops here.
"Gold coins are practically useless in Honghai City. Most of the items used for transactions are Tutelage Jade Tokens and spirit stones."
Zhao Feiwu said, "The Tutelage Jade Tokens of master teachers are divided according to their grades. A 4-star Tutelage Jade Token can be exchanged for a hundred 3-star Tutelage Jade Tokens, a 3-star Tutelage Jade Token can be exchanged for a hundred 2-star Tutelage Jade Tokens, and so on. As for spirit stones, ten of them can be exchanged for a 3-star Tutelage Jade Token! "
"Using Tutelage Jade Tokens as currency?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
It was no wonder that great teachers were so highly respected. Their lessons were equivalent to money. Even if one didn't wish to cultivate, it was impossible for them to feel bad about money.
But thinking about it, it didn't take long for him to understand.
Tutelage Jade Tokens could allow a cultivator to resolve countless problems and obstacles in their cultivation. Putting aside two hours, even a few minutes could play a decisive role in achieving a breakthrough.
Using it as currency was indeed the fairest and most selfless method.
"I heard that a Soulless Metal Humanoid was dug out here. If I wish to buy it, where should I go?"
After listening to Zhao Feiwu's explanation, Zhang Xuan had gained a deeper understanding of Honghai City.
"A treasure like the Soulless Metal Humanoid is incomparably valuable, and it is usually auctioned by the Appraiser Hall. If I'm not wrong, it should be in the Appraiser Hall!" Zhao Feiwu pondered for a moment before replying.
"Appraiser Hall?" Zhang Xuan turned to look at her. "Is it a gathering place for appraisers?"
Back then, when he was in Tianxuan Kingdom, he met a 'master appraiser'... Mo Yang.
That fellow was only an apprentice, but he used all kinds of means to scam others out of their money.
However, there were quite a few people who believed him.
Even though appraisers were only a Middle Nine Paths occupation, they were highly sought after due to their ability to determine the value of artifacts.
