Chapter 393
What made Han Li even more puzzled was that apart from those shops, it was quiet all around and there was no one. Net
After pondering slightly, he laughed dumbly.
How could he forget!
This is not a leisurely island in the Inner Star Sea; those who have the courage to come here are not Core Formation stage cultivators, and at the very least they are Foundation Establishment mid-to-late stage cultivators. Plus those scattered on other Demonic Beast Islands, the number naturally won't be very large.
The cultivators on this Ningcui Island are probably all out at sea to kill demonic beasts now!
Thinking this, Han Li raised his head and looked around.
Only then did he discover that this place actually leaned against a small dirt mountain and was built against the mountain.
After thinking about it slightly, Han Li walked toward the grocery store piled up with chaotic stones.
"Do you have a new sea map of the vicinity?" Han Li asked with a faint expression.
Before coming, he already knew that all the sea maps of the Demonic Beast Islands were constantly being updated, so naturally he had to buy a latest copy.
"Yes! There are two types, rough and detailed, I don't know which one the senior wants?" The shopkeeper of the grocery store was a middle-aged man at the Qi Condensation stage, and seeing Han Li and Qu Hun come to inquire, his spirit lifted and he immediately explained.
"Detailed" Han Li said without hesitation.
"Detailed sea map, one hundred spirit stones!" This middle-aged man said with a lion's mouth wide open.
"One hundred?" Han Li felt whether his ears had a problem and heard the price wrong.
But immediately his expression sank, showing a look of anger.
Although he didn't intend to provoke any right or wrong, he wouldn't be wantonly blackmailed by a low-level cultivator.
"Senior, don't misunderstand! This price is not set by me, but directly set by the above, and we are just acting on orders. And when other seniors sell new sea terrain maps to us, the price is also not cheap!" Seeing Han Li's expression sink, this grocery shopkeeper didn't show a look of fear, but instead poured out his bitterness.
"Above! Which merchant alliance are you from?" Han Li's anger eased slightly, frowned, and asked.
He understood very well that merchants who could do business to the Demonic Beast Island would definitely not be small merchant associations! It's likely a shop opened by the Four Major Merchant Alliances!
"Hehe, senior is truly a sensible person. The junior is making a living under the Fengle Merchant Alliance." The middle-aged man froze for a moment after hearing this, then said with a smile.
"One of the Four Major Merchant Alliances, the Fengle Alliance that opened the Fengle Auction House in Heavenly Star City?"
"Exactly, senior!"
Hearing this, Han Li didn't say anything more and threw out a mid-tier spirit stone.
Immediately, this grocery shopkeeper handed a jade slip to Han Li with a smile.
"Other shops, wouldn't they also be your Fengle Merchant Alliance?" Looking at the other shops, Han Li put away the jade slip and asked without a good air.
"How is this possible? Apart from that acquisition line in the west, the others are opened by other merchant alliances and have nothing to do with our Fengle Alliance." The middle-aged man glanced at the other shops and said with a bit of hostility.
Hearing this, Han Li didn't say anything more and walked away with Qu Hun.
After he walked a few steps, just as he released the Divine Wind Boat and wanted to drive the magic tool to fly, suddenly a green rainbow fell from the sky and landed right in front of an acquisition line across the street.
After the light converged, a burly Core Formation stage big man was revealed.
"Fan kid, your business is here." As soon as the big man appeared, he shouted loudly toward the acquisition line, then fished out a storage pouch from his bosom and poured it onto the ground.
After a patch of light rolled, there was a monster fish corpse two or three yards long on the ground.
Saying it's a fish is only because its body surface is covered with a layer of green fish scales, but it has a monster head like a python, and also a pair of giant claws on its abdomen. And in the position near the front of its back, a bloody hole was split open, and it seems the demonic beast core has already been removed.
"Oh my! Senior Hao has come. This Green Phosphorus Fish Demon is truly hard to kill! Only seniors with such great divine powers can destroy them." A young man at the Qi Condensation stage flew out of the acquisition line, his eyes extremely agile. While checking the corpse of the demonic beast, he kept flattering the big man, saying it until the big man laughed loudly, and it seems he is a heroic person.
Suddenly, the big man turned his face and faced Han Li and Qu Hun. After looking at them, he greeted them very enthusiastically:
"The two fellow daoists are very unfamiliar, just arrived at Ningcui Island, right! Do you have any interest in killing demonic beasts together!"
Seeing the big man so enthusiastic, Han Li smiled but didn't speak, but Qu Hun, under his mental instruction, shook his head and refused.
Seeing this, the big man showed a look of regret, but still said enthusiastically:
"I, Hao Yuantian, also have some reputation on this Ningcui Island. If the two fellow daoists change their minds in the future, you can still find me." After saying these words, the big man received a bag of spirit stones from the young man in the acquisition line, looked at it, and flew away in a green rainbow.
Han Li stood in place and fell silent.
From the enthusiastic solicitation of the red-faced old man and the big man surnamed Hao who teleported together, it is obvious that there are not many Core Formation cultivators coming to Ningcui Island, and they have formed their own small groups.
It seems that just like what he knew from the information, even Core Formation stage cultivators must act together to kill demonic beasts safely in this Outer Star Sea.
If it weren't for his own plans, he probably would have agreed to one of their invitations.
Han Li thought this in his heart, and with Qu Hun, he also got on the Divine Wind Boat, flew from another direction, and flew toward the outside of the island.
On the magic tool, Han Li looked at the sea map jade slip he had just bought carefully, and then put it away.
Ningcui Island is not very big, and in just a while, the Divine Wind Boat had already flown to the edge of the island.
Standing on the edge of the Divine Wind Boat, Han Li looked around, and after a flash of light in his eyes, he readjusted his direction and flew toward the depths of the endless sea.
Han Li didn't dare to fly too low from the sea surface.
Because some demonic beasts with deep cultivation can absorb all living things flying over the sea surface through hundreds of yards of deep seawater even if they are lurking on the seabed. If any cultivator disturbs them, they will not escape the disaster of death.
Han Li is naturally extremely careful!
But similarly, one cannot fly too high in the Outer Star Sea, because not only do demonic beasts appear in groups in the sea in the Outer Star Sea, but there are also bird-type demonic beasts circling in the high sky non-stop. If they are targeted by them, it is also an extremely dangerous thing.
Of course, this is not absolute, after all, there are some differences in the situation of each sea area, and there is no such thing as absolute safety.
Every year, numerous cultivators are teleported to various Demonic Beast Islands, doing the beautiful dream of killing demons and taking cores, but many of them never returned after leaving the island.
Things like Core Formation stage cultivators failing to kill demonic beasts and being swallowed by high-tier demonic beasts are heard from time to time.
It can be seen that the benefits of killing demonic beasts in the Outer Star Sea are indeed eye-catching, but it also means the existence of high risks.
Therefore, cultivators who come out to kill demonic beasts will basically automatically form fixed groups with familiar people and act together.
In this way, it is much safer.
However, gathering a large number of people to kill demonic beasts together is also a taboo thing.
Because before, there was an incident on the Demonic Beast Island where all the cultivators on the island were integrated to kill demonic beasts in groups.
As a result, these cultivators were only proud for a while before they attracted the siege of several Rank 7 or higher deep-sea demonic beasts and a large group of other demonic beasts. Not only did these cultivators suffer heavy casualties, but even that Demonic Beast Island was thoroughly destroyed by these demonic beasts.
After such things happened twice more, no one dared to act with too many cultivators at once, and they were all small groups of a few or a dozen people.
This also caused the situation where there are many small groups on each Demonic Beast Island, and high-cultivation lone cultivators are highly solicited.
Based on the information obtained above, after flying out of Ningcui Island, Han Li immediately became solemn.
He not only released his powerful spiritual sense to cover the range of dozens of yards around him, but also fully drove the Divine Wind Boat, transforming into a streak of white light, flying through the air at an extremely fast speed.
Every time Han Li flew for a few hours, he would stop to identify the direction, fearing that he would fly in the wrong direction and not find the place he wanted to go.
Don't say, Han Li's luck is really good!
Along the way, apart from discovering a Rank 5 demonic beast playing on the sea surface from afar, Han Li detoured slightly, and did not suffer any trouble.
After flying and stopping like this for three days, he finally saw a small island with a fiery red color.
After flying closer, he could see that this island was actually piled up by numerous bright red corals, shining in the sunlight, truly beautiful and charming!
Han Li stopped above this island, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
