Chapter 160 Sea Beast Attack
Chapter 160 Sea Beast Attack
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoyin's smile deepened: "According to the agreement, it's 85% of the market price."
Twelve thousand seven hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones of Shattered Void Stone, and sixteen thousand two hundred and fifty-six low-grade spirit stones of Flowing Sand Crystal.
A total of 29,006 low-grade spirit stones.
Chen Xu listened calmly.
This price is indeed much more favorable than the market price, and it also avoids the hassle of haggling with that old fox Zhou Caisheng.
With a wave of his hand, he took out a storage bag full of spirit stones and placed it on the stone table.
"The spirit stones are here; Steward Lin can count them."
Twenty-nine thousand low-grade spirit stones is an absolute fortune for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This fellow Daoist Xu before me could produce it so casually.
This financial strength and generosity far exceeded Lin Miaoyin's previous expectations.
She picked up the storage bag and quickly probed it with her divine sense.
After confirming that everything was correct, she pushed the two storage bags containing the broken Void Stone and the Flowing Sand Crystal in front of Chen Xu.
Then he took out a small white jade token engraved with musical note patterns and handed it over as well.
"This is the Listening Token of my Illusionary Sound Merchant Guild. With this token, you may make purchases at any branch of the Illusionary Sound Merchant Guild in the future."
All customers can enjoy VIP discounts. For special requests or requests, you can also use this voucher to contact me with priority.
Chen Xu took the warm and gentle Listening Token, scanned it with his divine sense, and after confirming that it was just an ordinary contact and identity credential without any tracking or monitoring restrictions, he put it away.
He nodded slightly: "Manager Lin, you're too kind. I'll definitely bother you if I need anything in the future."
"Fellow Daoist Xu, you flatter me," Lin Miaoyin said politely.
"It is an honor for Miaoyin to make friends with such a person as a fellow Daoist."
Chen Xu cupped his hands in greeting: "Now that this matter is settled, I have other important business to attend to, so I will not stay any longer."
"Please go ahead, fellow Daoist. I'll see you out." Lin Miaoyin stood up and led Chen Xu back the way they came.
However, not long after Chen Xu left the dark alley, a deep horn sounded without warning throughout Meteor City.
The commotion in the city came to an abrupt halt.
All the cultivators subconsciously looked up at the sky, their faces filled with confusion.
"What's going on??"
"This...this is the highest level of alert in Meteor City!?"
"A sea monster attack? Or has some major trouble broken out in the inland sea?"
Suddenly, a huge light curtain appeared in the previously clear sky, completely enveloping the entire Meteor City.
Almost the instant the city's protective formation closed completely, a figure appeared in the sky.
"All cultivators, listen to my command! The outer perimeter of the inner sea is under attack by Nascent Soul sea beasts."
All cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above within the city are ready to be summoned at any time!
Chen Xu looked up at the sky and was astonished by the golden figure that exuded a majestic aura.
"It's actually Ling Yu, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Shui Palace, who's at the early Nascent Soul stage!?"
Elder Ling Yu stood tall and straight, with a resolute face.
He appeared to be middle-aged, with a bright, piercing gaze in his eyes, as if the sun, moon, and stars were floating within them.
At this moment, even though it was thousands of miles away, the power of the outer sea still reached Meteor City.
The deep sound came from the ocean abyss, causing all the floating islands to tremble slightly.
The light screen of the city's protective array rippled violently, as if it were being constantly struck by an invisible giant hammer.
The thick clouds in the sky seemed to be boiling, brewing a world-destroying storm.
"Is this the power of a Nascent Soul level cultivator? Even from thousands of miles away, there are still such powerful aftershocks."
"What a devastating scene it was at the heart of the disaster!"
Chen Xu felt a chill run down his spine, sensing unprecedented pressure.
At the same time, he also thought of Nanlongyue.
Because the center of that strange phenomenon... seemed to be the area between Gui Island and Xiaochun Island...
The Nan family... is probably doomed.
……
At this moment, Elder Ling Yu's figure transformed into a golden-blue escape light, tearing through the sky above Meteor City.
Its speed was so fast that it covered nearly a thousand meters in an instant. In less than half an hour, Ling Yu had traversed a vast distance and arrived at the heart of the storm.
Even with his Nascent Soul stage composure, the sight before him caused his pupils to shrink.
The once numerous island clusters have been completely transformed.
The area where Gui Island and Xiaochun Island are located is now mostly just large areas of broken reefs.
The violent energy turbulence tore through space, and the seawater was distorted by an invisible force, forming a huge waterspout connecting heaven and earth.
Dark thunderclouds covered an area of hundreds of miles, with thick black lightning bolts flashing wildly within them.
Each strike was accompanied by a deafening explosion.
The source of all this disaster was two enormous figures above the endless storm and the shattered sea.
On the left is a Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle as large as a mountain.
Its shell is not the usual bluish-black, but a deep, dark iron color, covered with ancient and ferocious golden patterns.
Its slow breathing alone caused the surrounding seawater to condense into ice, transforming into a storm of ice crystals that swept across the land.
To the right is a venomous dragon coiled in mid-air, exuding a terrifying aura.
It was hundreds of feet long and covered with deep purple scales.
It was hundreds of feet long and covered with deep purple scales.
Each scale contains terrifying poison.
The most terrifying thing is the breath it exhales from its mouth and nose, which is an extremely intense purple poisonous flame.
This toxic flame not only contains potent poison, but also has an extremely high temperature.
At this moment, its enormous vertical pupils were staring intently at Ling Yu, filled with murderous intent.
Elder Ling Yu's voice remained as steady as a rock amidst the storm, piercing through the raging winds and thunder, carrying with it anger:
"You, as overlords of the outer seas, dare to join forces to invade the territory of our human cultivators and slaughter living beings. What is your intention?"
Do you really think my Xuan Shui Palace is powerless, and that the order of this Meteorite Sea is just for show?!
Its voice was like the might of heaven, containing a powerful impact of divine sense, directly targeting the souls of the two Nascent Soul sea beasts.
The Xuan Shui Ling Turtle's enormous head swayed slightly, and a hint of apprehension flashed in its golden vertical pupils.
The venomous dragon let out a long howl and said disdainfully:
"Old man Ling Yu, stop putting on your big shot status as a Grand Elder!"
This Meteor Sea is the ancestral home of our aquatic races.
You human cultivators hunt and kill my people and plunder the resources of the sea, have you ever shown any respect for the rules?!
Today is just collecting a little interest!
The Xuan Shui Ling Gui's voice was deep and rumbling like muffled thunder, sounding much more composed:
"Fellow Daoist Ling, the balance of the Meteorite Sea cannot be determined by your Xuan Shui Palace alone."
All we ask for is to reclaim the sea areas that have been seized.
As long as Xuan Shui Palace promises that Nascent Soul cultivators will not be allowed to set foot in the Storm Sea or the outer sea for ten thousand years.
We will leave now and never do it again!
Upon hearing this, Ling Yu's lips curled into a cold smile, and she inwardly scoffed:
These two Nascent Soul demons, on the surface, were aggressively demanding the sea area, but in reality, they were probably testing the Palace Master's current situation.
It seems that while the Palace Master has been in seclusion for so long, quite a few forces have begun to stir...
