Chapter 220: One stone stirs up a thousand waves

Not long after Xia Daoming left, several streaks of brilliant light flew in from the sea and landed on different small islands nearby.

One person landed on the island where Xia Daoming killed Tuoba Kui.

But because the bloodstains had already been washed away by Xia Daoming with the tide, this person, besides discovering that someone seemed to have been active here recently, did not find any valuable clues.

Otherwise, if he had discovered the bloodstains, he would have known that Tuoba Kui had appeared here.

No one discovered Tuoba Kui's whereabouts.

Some people believed that Tuoba Kui was very likely lurking somewhere nearby to avoid the limelight and, by the way, recuperate and adjust his breathing.

So they lingered and wandered in the outer perimeter of the forbidden zone, searching carefully, and were reluctant to leave for a long time.

There was also a large part of people who believed that Tuoba Kui had teleported a hundred miles away, then restrained his blood light and continued to flee.

Because the sea is vast, the distance is a hundred miles, and the direction is uncertain; once Tuoba Kui restrained his blood light as much as possible and flew away quietly, if they didn't happen to find the right direction, they indeed couldn't discover him.

But no matter how Tuoba Kui fled, he would definitely have to return to the passage exit in the end.

So, finding nothing, a large part of the people rushed south toward the passage exit without stopping.

They wanted to arrive before Tuoba Kui, guard the outer perimeter of the forbidden zone, and wait for Tuoba Kui's appearance.

There is no wall in the world that doesn't leak.

As these people rushed toward the passage exit, the news first spread in the northern sea, and then spread to other sea areas.

It really was one stone stirring up a thousand waves.

The news spread, and the entire Dragon Fish Sea completely boiled over.

Many cultivators gave up searching for opportunities and rushed toward the passage exit.

Tuoba Kui, who was seriously injured.

The location happened to be near the forbidden zone.

Many cultivators, even Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators, believed they had a chance to seize the True Dragon Blood Pearl and then escape into the forbidden zone in time.

The news even spread from the Dragon Fish Sea to the outside world.

Many powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Great Liang Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom heard the news and specially rushed over, entered the Dragon Fish Sea, and guarded the outer perimeter of the forbidden zone.

These were all later events; let's say Xia Daoming erased the traces and drove the flying boat to return.

He drove the flying boat leisurely above the sea.

For one thing, being too hurried might cause unnecessary misunderstandings; for another, he had already found Blood-Lin Dragon Breath Grass over three thousand years old, and the remaining time was sufficient for him to return to the passage exit slowly, without needing to rush.

After flying for a period of time, Xia Daoming was pondering whether he should take out the storage ring to see the harvest when a flying boat in the distance broke through the air toward him.

Xia Daoming's eyes narrowed immediately.

"Could it be that someone is finally coming to rob me?"

Before entering the Dragon Fish Sea, Mo Yongzhi had warned him that in the Dragon Fish Sea, cultivators seeking opportunities were just as dangerous as spirit beasts, and events of killing and looting were staged every day in the Dragon Fish Sea.

However, so far, he had only encountered the couple Long Bingkui once.

Even that time, there was a reason for it.

As a result, the flying boat flew close.

The person standing at the bow of the boat was surprisingly the charming young woman he had met halfway before.

Xia Daoming was a little disappointed.

But what surprised Xia Daoming was that this time the charming young woman did not turn around and leave, but continued to approach.

"What is this for?"

Xia Daoming's heart was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to remember something, his heart slightly tightened, but his face revealed a look of nervousness and trepidation.

"Eh, it's you, you are actually still alive!" The charming young woman with a beautiful figure quickly recognized Xia Daoming, her face full of surprise.

What a vicious woman!

I have no grudges with you, yet you actually cursed me to die!

Xia Daoming complained silently in his heart upon hearing this, but his face became even more nervous and trepidatious.

The charming young woman quickly noticed Xia Daoming's nervousness and trepidation, and also realized that what she had just said seemed a bit wrong, so she specially showed a smile to Xia Daoming and said in a gentle tone: "You don't have to be afraid, I have no malice, I just want to ask one thing."

"Senior, please ask, this junior will tell everything he knows." Xia Daoming hurriedly said "terrified and trembling."

"Have you seen any blood light or anyone driving a magic tool alone flying over the sea?" The charming young woman asked.

Xia Daoming thought for a while, shook his head, and said truthfully: "Returning to Senior, I have not seen it."

The charming young woman hadn't pinned much hope on asking anything from Xia Daoming anyway, she just had a fluke mentality; seeing him answer that he hadn't seen it, she didn't suspect anything at all, waved her hand, and drove the flying boat away through the air.

Watching the charming young woman go far away, Xia Daoming could not suppress his excitement.

The charming young woman's inquiry further confirmed the speculation in his heart.

However, Xia Daoming was not in a hurry to check.

It was better to stay away from this place of right and wrong first.

Anyway, if there really was anything, it was already his, and it wouldn't run away.

After half a day, Xia Daoming had already moved far away from that place of right and wrong.

Along the way, he didn't see anyone else.

Xia Daoming then began to enjoy the wonderful time of checking his harvest.

He first checked Shi Tianji's storage ring.

Erasing the spiritual sense mark on it, as soon as Xia Daoming's spiritual sense entered the storage ring, he felt an indescribable, vicissitudinous, domineering, and powerful aura, which actually impacted and shook his spiritual sense.

Before, when he used his spiritual sense to probe storage rings, this kind of thing had never happened.

Then Xia Daoming saw a True Dragon Blood Pearl the size of a pigeon egg.

The pearl was blood-colored and transparent, with a giant dragon phantom soaring and leaping inside.

Even though it was stored in the storage ring, it was still emitting an astonishing aura, bringing a great impact to Xia Daoming's spiritual sense.

"True Dragon Blood Pearl! They really seized the True Dragon Blood Pearl!"

"What kind of luck do I have, I didn't do anything, and this heaven-sent opportunity just smashed onto my head!"

"A true son of destiny!"

Even though Xia Daoming could be considered a big shot who had seen great wealth, at this moment he was also pleasantly surprised and his heart was surging.

For a long time, Xia Daoming gradually calmed down and began to continue checking.

"My goodness, there are actually dragon fish fry and thousand-year mysterious clam pearls! Who exactly is this guy, his luck is so good, it's a pity, it's a pity, he didn't survive this disaster in the end, otherwise it would have been incredible!" Xia Daoming was quickly startled by the new discovery, and then shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

Whether it is dragon fish fry or thousand-year mysterious clam pearls, they are all of great value; just selling these two things alone would be worth at least one hundred thousand spirit stones.

For Xia Daoming, it might not count for much, but for most Foundation Establishment cultivators, that is already a large fortune.

Like Wan Yan, who is also a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator, but because cultivation consumes a lot of money day after day, she cannot save enough spirit stones to buy Beauty-Preserving Pills, so she can only take risks and enter the Dragon Fish Sea herself to search for thousand-year mysterious clam pearls.

And Mo Yongzhi and Shao Shiyu risked entering the Dragon Fish Sea for the main material of the Ascending Dragon Pill, dragon fish fry.

Even if they don't hesitate to take risks, in fact, the vast majority of cultivators have little harvest, only harvesting some spirit herbs, minerals, or spirit beasts of average value, which cannot even cover the passage fee.

And the owner of this unknown corpse was actually able to harvest both dragon fish fry and thousand-year mysterious clam pearls at the same time, which definitely counts as extremely good luck.

Xia Daoming did not know that the owner of the corpse, Shi Tianji, relied on the fact that he had cultivated one of the most difficult secret techniques of the Star Moon Sect, the Star Escape, and had first-class escape skills, so he risked entering deep into the northern sea to have such a huge harvest.

Of course, his luck was also very good.

But it was precisely because of this that Shi Tianji accidentally discovered the forbidden zone anomaly, was driven by greed, and actually successfully seized the True Dragon Blood Pearl, only to find in the end that he had no fortune to enjoy it, and instead lost his life for it.

Besides the three items from the Dragon Fish Sea, the wealth Shi Tianji carried with him was not much, slightly better than the couple Long Bingkui, and counting the magic tools, it was only about twenty thousand spirit stones.

After Xia Daoming checked Shi Tianji's storage ring, he began to check Tuoba Kui's storage ring with full expectation.

This guy is a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator, he should be richer than a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator!

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Daoming's spiritual sense probed into Tuoba Kui's storage ring, he was startled.

Tuoba Kui's storage ring actually contained ten high-grade spirit stones, eight thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and over twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones, which, when converted, were equivalent to over one hundred and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"Worthy of being a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator, I don't admire anyone, I only admire you!" Xia Daoming sighed repeatedly, his face full of joy.

Fortunately, Tuoba Kui was already dead, otherwise he would definitely have been angered enough to climb back up.

These one hundred and ten thousand spirit stones were what he had painstakingly saved for many years, originally prepared for a large auction in the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world, to buy a few rare spirit pills or spirit herbs that could greatly improve his cultivation.

As a result, the spirit stones he had painstakingly saved for many years were all cheaply given to Xia Daoming for nothing.

Otherwise, if he had really eaten them, where would Xia Daoming's share be?

Besides these one hundred and ten thousand spirit stones and the magic tools he carried with him, the things in Tuoba Kui's storage ring were pitifully few.

"At least he is a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator, even if his luck is bad and he didn't find spirit herbs and minerals, there are spirit beasts all over the sea, he could always hunt one or two, why is there nothing!"

Xia Daoming began to complain habitually again, but didn't consider that Tuoba Kui was a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator, easily attracting powerful spirit beasts, and was also aiming for the True Dragon Blood Pearl, so how could he dare to cause extra trouble and hunt spirit beasts.

However, complaining is complaining, Xia Daoming was still very grateful for Tuoba Kui's contribution, otherwise where would he have such a huge harvest.

Therefore, when the flying boat flew over a small island, Xia Daoming specially landed, first cremated the two, and then specially dug two large pits to bury them.

After doing all this, Xia Daoming continued to drive the flying boat, floating leisurely above the sea.

The sea breeze blew gently, the sea was blue, and the sky had white clouds floating.

Xia Daoming felt that life was very beautiful.

His mood was very pleasant.

He did not know that at this time, the entire Dragon Fish Sea had been turned upside down.

Some people were still searching crazily for Tuoba Kui on the sea, and a large part of the people were rushing toward the passage exit at full speed.

Now at the passage exit, in the outer perimeter of the forbidden zone sea area, nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators had gathered, and the number was still rising; they, either alone or in groups of three or five, were wandering around the outer perimeter of the forbidden zone sea area.

Everyone's goal was only one, and that was Tuoba Kui.
