Chapter 411: Chapter 200: Pseudo-Spiritual Object - Sky Crossing Bird (2)

Cultivators from the Southern Domain were often influenced by their environment.

Therefore, showing off his knowledge to the new Golden Core cultivator had become one of Master Yu Cha’s newfound pleasures on the ship.

"Since it’s not expensive, I’ll guess a thousand Spirit Stones?"

Xiao Chen wasn’t annoyed. He thought for a moment and ventured a price.

’It’s a Tier Three Spiritual Object, after all. It couldn’t possibly sell for just a few hundred Spirit Stones, could it?’

"Well, you’re right. It is a thousand Spirit Stones."

Master Yu Cha’s voice rose. "A thousand Spirit Stones gets you a box, and a box holds ten of them."

When he finished, he saw the look of confusion on Xiao Chen’s face.

So, he explained with a smile, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I was just as puzzled the first time I saw them."

"This is a Tier Three Spirit Fruit, how could it be so cheap?"

"Later, I made some special inquiries and learned that the Eastern Domain has quite a few Pseudo-Spiritual Objects."

"Take this Purple-striped Fig, for example. It’s a specialty of Purple Pattern Island. On this island, there’s a naturally formed Tier Four Spiritual Spring."

"If you meticulously water ordinary fig trees with the water from this Tier Four Spiritual Spring, you can cultivate Purple-striped Figs that are rich in Spiritual Qi."

"If a cultivator eats one just for the taste, heh, it’s practically indistinguishable from a genuine Tier Three Spirit Fruit."

"But if you’re trying to use it for Cultivation, it’s far less effective than just absorbing Spirit Stones directly."

"To put it bluntly, it’s five words: looks good, but useless."

.

At the end of his explanation, Master Yu Cha didn’t forget to add a reminder, "Fellow Daoist Yan Long, when you get to the Jingkong Sea later, it’s best to ask around before you buy any Spiritual Objects."

"There are many small vendors there who love to pass off shoddy goods as the real deal. Many of our fellow Daoists have been burned."

"Generally speaking, it’s more reliable to go to old, established places like the Ten Thousand Immortals Tower or Changxing Square. Although the prices are a bit higher, you’re guaranteed quality."

Xiao Chen had seen the two shops he mentioned in more than one travelogue.

The general consensus was that they were expensive, with most items costing twenty to thirty percent more than outside.

Of course, they had their advantages, namely a wide variety of items. They even sold some of the rarer supplies.

THUD~!

A loud noise suddenly came from outside, as if the Spiritual Boat had hit something.

Xiao Chen instantly released his Divine Sense and saw a massive ice wall, hundreds of miles long, that had risen up before them at some point.

At the same time, a barrage of Ice Cones shot out from behind the wall, glinting coldly as they smashed into the Spiritual Power Shield that had automatically formed around the Fu Hai.

His Divine Sense passed through the ice wall—which was over ten feet thick—revealing tens of thousands of Sea Fish on the other side.

They were continuously spewing Ice Cones from beneath the water’s surface.

The front two rows contained over a thousand of them, each one emitting Spiritual Qi fluctuations equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Although the fish in the rear had lower Cultivation, their sheer numbers made up for it, and they began to deplete the Spirit Stones powering the array with their Ice Cones.

With the sudden attack from the school of fish, an alarm began to buzz throughout the ship.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators immediately returned to their cabins, anxiously preparing to supply the array with their Magical Power.

Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to get up to take a look.

"Don’t be alarmed, Fellow Daoist Yan Long. This is merely a probing attack."

Master Yu Cha was clearly very experienced. "That Tier Three Ice Fish is probably hiding somewhere right now."

"The Defensive Array is more than enough to handle these small fry. Let’s just keep drinking."

As he spoke, he poured Xiao Chen a full bowl of wine.

A brilliant blue light flashed from the Fu Hai’s mast. The entire vessel immediately surged forward, smashing through the ice wall and continuing on its way.

Some of the Sea Fish tried to rebuild the wall, but it was utterly futile.

Before long, the Fu Hai had actually shaken off the school of Ice Fish behind it.

This was, in fact, one of the lessons Master Yu Cha had learned from experience. Most Tier Three Sea Fish were very cautious and would not easily provoke another behemoth.

Unless it was extremely hungry and in desperate need of prey.

Or if it had misjudged, believing it had enough strength to devour the Fu Hai, it would have pursued them relentlessly.

"Fellow Daoist Yan Long, let me tell you, that incident happened about sixty-some years ago."

Master Yu Cha resumed his tale. "Back then, I was in Xilai Country to procure supplies for my sect. I had just finished my business and was getting ready to leave."

"I just so happened to run into an old monk wearing a Star-Studded Red Gold Kasaya, leading a group of young monks in Moon White Monk’s Robes, passing down the main street."

"That old fellow looked kind and compassionate, but I could tell with one glance that he was no good."

...

BOOM~!

He had barely begun his story when the Fu Hai lurched violently, causing even the Sea Suppressing Pavilion to rock back and forth.

An ice wall, far more immense than the last, rose up ahead, blocking their path.

An even greater number of Ice Fish hurled Ice Cones from all directions, mixed with other Magic like Ice Arrows, Water Blades, and Water Spears.

A figure, nearly a hundred yards long, swam in the sea, circling the Fu Hai.

Xiao Chen’s Divine Sense probed into the water and immediately came into contact with another, icy Divine Sense.

His own Divine Sense instantly felt as if it had been blasted by a frigid wind, and he instinctively pulled it back.

’There’s no mistaking it this time. That’s definitely a Tier Three Ice Fish down there, and it has its sights set on the Fu Hai.’

"Damn it all, it’s courting death!"

Master Yu Cha slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet. "Wait here, fellow Daoist. I’m going to take care of that vile beast, and I’ll be right back."

With that, he strode out onto the deck.

Xiao Chen didn’t wait in the pavilion, instead following him outside to observe the situation.

For one, he could lend a hand if anything were to happen.

For another, he wanted to see for himself just how powerful the legendary Three-pronged Sea-piercing Jade Fork truly was.

However, he instead saw Master Yu Cha slap his Storage Bag and take out four small flags.

Three were brownish-yellow, inscribed with an Eight-Character Secret Text, and one was bright gold, with a Cloud-Piercing Treasure Sword painted on it.
