"The island has many practitioners on it, with many good things that can be traded. This is a free market among practitioners."
Zǐ yī shuō le.
Translation:
Purple clothes said.
The island's vulgarity far exceeded Zhang Ye's imagination, and even the normally calm Zǐ Yī was shocked. It seemed that the city management was not in power, and all kinds of vendors occupied the roads, with various shouting voices emerging one after another:
"Great Immortal, come take a look at our humble shop. The legendary Purple-Qing Flying Sword, a 7th-grade treasure, is available for just 14 million Gathering Origin Pills."
"Who is deceiving whom? The Purple Sky Flying Sword is obviously the magical artifact of Zixia Xianzi, ranked among the immortal artifacts. How could it possibly be for sale?"
Some guys have no place to operate, so they set up stalls on big trees. Some are directly blasting holes in the ground and selling things underground. Compared to the worldly market, it's chaotic and not three levels worse.
In a secular world with government, there is city management. And this group of cultivators pursuing freedom and ease are all unmanageable.
Huh?
Zhang Ye stopped under a big green tree to take a look, and there were many medical advertisements on the tree, such as "Lao Shan Men Xiu Yi" that could cure all kinds of difficult diseases. Even Zi Yi was stunned, thinking that the cultivation world had developed to this extent.
In addition to medical advertisements, there are also recruitment advertisements.
A note reads: Recruiting 10 guards, escorting a batch of dan medicine into the Azure Territory, salary negotiable, requires foundation building five layers cultivation, prioritizing divine sense, those with divine communication secret books will receive special subsidies.
Zhang Ye had originally wanted to earn some elixirs back, but found that his cultivation was too low.
Although there are many recruitment notices above, they all require at least three layers of foundation building or more. Some even have notes: "Those with rich combat experience who have killed more than ten people can consider relaxing the cultivation restrictions."
Zhang Ye failed in every item and turned around to escape.
There are too many people wandering around here, and there are disciples from various Xian Dao sects. Many of them have come from other realms. When Zhang Ye curiously watched, he felt the Tai Xuan Jade Token in the gourd emitting a vibration.
This suggests that someone has summoned a Tai Xuan Men disciple on the island.
With a sense of reverence for his school, Zhang Ye pushed through the crowd and headed towards the edge of the island in search of the past.
On the west side of the island, near the seaside, there were many noisy voices coming over. Going closer to take a look, it was a group of disciples from other sects bullying a woman.
This woman was about the same age as Zhang Ye, but had never been seen before, yet wore the uniform of an inner disciple of the Tai Xuan Gate.
Where there are people, there is a world of its own. The degenerates among those who cultivate themselves are no less than those in the secular world.
"Little girl, with your skills, you dare to come to the island and cause trouble? Aren't you afraid of being peeped at by bad people? But don't worry, with me protecting you, nothing is forbidden. Come on, let's go have a drink together." A sly-looking guy said.
The female disciple of the mysterious sect was surrounded, and she said timidly: "When I left, my master didn't let me drink. I was ordered to deliver a message to the Azure Boundary, and I had to cross the Eastern Sea Divine State. Staying here is just for rest and replenishment."
"Heh heh."
Look at this female disciple, although mature, but with an air of inexperience, a group of men leered and exchanged information with each other through their eyes.
"Don't be so uncooperative, we're not demonic disciples, we won't practice yin-yang extraction. Let's have a drink together and if you're happy, I'll give you an aquatic treasure to ensure your safe passage across the sea." The leader of the group, a sly-looking man with a rat-like face, gently stroked the chin of the female disciple.
"This place is very dangerous, Abao, let's go and don't stay here!"
The female disciple let out a long cry towards the sky, and a black dot came down from the clouds, slowly approaching. This crane was actually Xianhe Abao, who had sent Zhang Ye down the mountain last time.
"Wishful thinking won't get you out of this."
Before the immortal crane approached, that cunning and treacherous disciple let out a shrill whistle. Above the clouds, a cow eagle twice as large as an immortal crane suddenly appeared, diving down with fierce momentum.
The Ox Eagle is also the favorite spiritual beast of the Xian Dao sect. Its body is hard and sturdy, like a cow's, and its temperament is similar to that of a wild ox, making it extremely difficult to domesticate. In terms of flight, the Ox Eagle is too heavy, flying fast but not as enduring as the Immortal Crane; in battle, three adult Immortal Cranes are usually needed to take down one Ox Eagle.
"Abao, run quickly!"
Just as the cow eagle swooped down, the immortal crane was about to be blocked, and the female disciple was frightened.
In Xianhe, Abao is just a "young girl", not yet fully grown up and has not experienced major events.
"Ahbao is scared!" Ahbao faced the swooping eagle, but instead of running away, he covered his eyes with his wings like hands.
"Ah Bao..." The female disciple was so anxious that she almost shed tears.
"Does even a grain of rice have luster?"
Zhang Ye also learned a boastful phrase, and with a burst of true energy, he soared into the air like a rocket.
"Huh? Where did this little rascal come from, daring to interfere with other people's business?"
A shout came from below, and suddenly two meddling cultivators also rose into the air, wanting to intercept Zhang Ye.
Whoosh——
Zhang Ye took out the Seven Treasures Gourd, and a fiery red flying sword shot out. The Blazing Fire Sword emitted an suffocating heat, killing its way towards the two people who were pouncing over.
Squeak squeak——
A red sword light flashed. The two cultivators who had only built a foundation of the second layer did not dare to be careless when facing a third-grade flying sword, and they hastily retreated.
The ox eagle unknowingly approached the immortal crane, when Zhang Ye concentrated all his true energy, Xuan Kong Flowing Star Fist—
A super-large fist flew out like a kite.
Bump
A feather from a bird's wing.
Zhang Ye's solid punch hit the cow eagle, which was even bigger than a wild ox. Despite its hard body, it let out a miserable cry as it rolled over, and at least half of its feathers fell off.
Clap Clap——
The ox eagle flapped its wings quickly, but there were too few feathers, and it couldn't fly, so it fell into the sea with a plop.
A tiger-headed shark burst forth from beneath the surface. This is considered one of the most ferocious wild beasts in the sea, with teeth as hard as flying swords and a body almost as large as a whale.
Crunchy in one bite——
The ox eagle was bitten in half, and the blood stained the nearby sea surface, sinking down.
"It's so dangerous, oh, Zhang Ye is you, thank you for saving A Bao."
The immortal crane put down its heart and flew over to pick up Zhang Ye, flying upwards into the sky.
"My eagle, you stinky little brat, I want your life. Where are you running?"
The guy with a rat head down there thought Zhang Ye was going to run away on his crane, and in a moment of brain short-circuiting, he rushed over.
Whoosh——
He felt his speed was too slow and released a flying sword.
A delicate azure small sword, belonging to the Five Elements Flying Swords, Water Spirit Sword, third-grade flying sword.
The Water Spirit Sword, apart from releasing water energy to counter the Flame Sword, also releases a strange domain that makes the surrounding space heavier with water vapor, making it difficult for people to exert their full strength as if they were trapped in water.
"Zhang Ye ran quickly, but was caught up by the Water Spirit Sword. Abao couldn't fly anymore and would fall into the sea to be eaten by big fish." The little girl of the Immortal Crane had a tantrum and spoke in an extremely humorous way.
"A minor skill!"
Zhang Ye rose from the back of the immortal crane and turned to face the Water Spirit Sword.
