Yang Qi had seen many coastal cities on Earth, but this was the first time he had seen a sea city in the cultivation world. Perhaps because of the exchanges with the Great Zhou Empire, the city before him was more prosperous than ordinary cities.
In addition to the native practitioners of the Holy Empire, there are also many practitioners from the Great Zhou Empire in the city, but there are relatively few from the Great Chu Empire. After all, this is already the westernmost part of the Zichen Continent, and the Great Chu Empire is located in the center of the continent, and it is easy to communicate with the two empires. Unless they need to enter the sea, there are few practitioners from the Great Chu Empire coming here.
Because it is close to the sea, most of the treasures traded in the city have a deep connection with the sea in front of them. Many rare treasures either come from islands or from the depths of the sea, and there are even corpses of sea beasts for sale!
The so-called sea beasts are actually another name for monsters living in the sea. They also belong to the monster family, but they are just a different name like flying monsters. Flying monsters control the sky, land monsters control the land, and sea beasts control the sea! Although monsters will not be affected if they leave their breeding environment when they reach a certain strength, they can exert their strongest strength in the favorable geographical location. This is especially true for sea beasts, because they have lived in the sea since they were born, and most of them are very good at water.
It is also because of this that the grudges between sea beasts and humans are not great. The land is almost useless to them. However, some battles broke out during the ancient war, but they were much smaller than the hatred with the monsters of the Zichen Continent.
"Don't miss this freshly killed sea-blue beast if you pass by it..."
"Thousand-year-old blood coral, Sea God Pearl..."
In the market, many practitioners were shouting and selling, which was different from the ordinary trading market. These natural treasures needed practitioners to buy and transport them to other places, so it was more like a distribution center for natural treasures.
However, the value of these rare treasures being sold is not very high. The most valuable ones are only treasures that can be used by those at the Martial Emperor level. As for the more precious ones, it is impossible for them to appear directly in the market.
Yang Qi naturally looked down on these natural treasures. After all, although these natural treasures came from the sea, they were of limited value and did not contain what he needed. He came to the market this time not for these natural treasures, but to go to the Great Zhou Empire.
Along the way, Yang Qi disguised himself as a high-level martial arts practitioner, not too strong to attract attention, nor too weak to be peeped at. However, without flying martial arts, he could not directly cross the vast ocean to the Great Zhou Empire. This time he came to the market to join the ship to the Great Zhou Empire.
Because there are countless sea beasts in the sea, one needs to take a special ship to travel to the Great Zhou Empire by sea. This ship is jointly operated by the royal family of the Holy Empire and the royal family of the Great Zhou Empire, and a considerable fee must be paid each time you take it.
"Young man, the fastest ship will not depart until a month later." The beautiful Wu Zong said apologetically.
"A month?"
Hearing this, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. If it was three to five days, it would be fine, but a month was too long. He couldn't just wait here for the next ship to depart.
If Yang Qi was just an ordinary practitioner, he would have to wait for the next ship. However, Yang Qi himself was fully capable of crossing the sea, so he naturally didn't want to wait here for a month.
Shaking his head, Yang Qi left the hall.
As soon as Yang Qi left the hall, a martial artist at the peak of his powers came up to him and asked, "Senior, do you want to go to the Great Zhou Empire?"
No way
Looking at the man coming towards him, Yang Qi's mouth twitched, and his mind quickly flashed back to the time when he went back to his hometown during the holidays when he was in school. There were always some illegal taxis and private cars at the station. The martial artist in front of him was just like those ticket sellers who were waiting enthusiastically outside the station!
It was not surprising that such a scene appeared on Earth, but encountering this familiar scene in Zichen Continent made Yang Qi feel as if he was in another world. If it were not for the completely different environment in front of him, he would have thought that he had returned to the station on Earth.
"I have this plan."
Yang Qi nodded. He went out to travel, disguising himself as an ordinary high-level martial artist, just to travel the continent as an ordinary practitioner. If possible, he naturally did not want to use flying martial arts to directly cross the sea.
Upon hearing this, the man at the peak of martial arts quickly said, "Senior, our ship will leave the day after tomorrow, and the price is much cheaper than inside."
“You also have sea vessels?” Yang Qi was stunned. As far as he knew, sea vessels were only operated by the royal families of the two empires, and there were no other forces operating them.
The man looked at Yang Qi for a moment before continuing, "From your looks, this should be your first time here. Everyone here knows that the ships under our Haotian Sect are the most reputable ships besides those operated by the two great empires."
Haotian Sect
Yang Qi was stunned and looked at the man in disbelief. He had a good relationship with Wu Tian of Haotian Sect, but he didn't expect that Haotian Sect actually ran such a business.
But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Qi was relieved. The Haotian Sect is the easternmost super power of the Great Zhou Empire. It is said that the mountain gate is not far from the coastline, so it is not surprising to run such a business.
"Then how many Yuanjing do you need to go to the Great Zhou Empire?" Yang Qi looked at the man and asked.
"Martial Sect cultivators can get 10,000 crystals, and Martial Honor cultivators can get it for free." The man paused before continuing, "I wonder if you are..."
Yang Qi was stunned, and asked in surprise, "You still charge according to realm?"
“Senior, you should also know that according to the agreement between the two empires and the sea beasts, sea beasts in the King of Martial Arts realm are not allowed to attack ships. But even so, the ships are not absolutely safe, so…” the man said in a deep voice.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, already understanding what the man meant. Obviously, when encountering danger, the passengers on the ship would probably have to fight, so the charges would be different depending on their strength.
"Wu Zong!" Yang Qi said lightly.
Although Yang Qi could easily change his own aura and disguise himself as a practitioner at the Martial Honor Realm, he could not be discovered unless investigated by a strong man at the Martial King Realm. However, he did not want to change his rules for the sake of 10,000 Yuan crystals.
"Senior, because the space is limited, you need to pay a 10% deposit." As the man spoke, he took out a token from his arms. It was an identity token belonging to the Haotian Sect. It was obvious that the man was confirming his identity!
Yang Qi was naturally familiar with the identity token of Haotian Sect. The token that the man took out was real. Come to think of it, the man was only at the peak of martial arts. Even if he had the courage of a god, he would not dare to impersonate Haotian Sect to cheat. That was simply a suicidal act.
Finally, after Yang Qi paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan, he received a number plate and followed the man's instructions. He was to board a ship a hundred miles southwest of the city at noon the day after tomorrow. The ship would stay for two hours and would not wait for anyone later. (To be continued)
