On the boundless ocean, a flying puppet shaped like a big bird flew past at high speed.
"The Endless Sea is indeed an endless sea. It is completely deserted. After flying for ten days and ten nights, I didn't even see a single person!".
There is a small wooden house on the back of the flying puppet. This wooden house is the puppet house that Ye Chen got from the ruins of the puppet gate branch. The puppet house is not very big and is placed on the back of the flying puppet. It is just right for Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng to lie on their backs.
In the house, we drank tea, ate fruit, and chatted.
Taking a bite of the fire pear, Murong Qingcheng said: "Whether they are humans or monsters, most of them are social animals. The Endless Sea is so big, it is normal not to see people for a long time."
After spitting out the core of the fire pear, Ye Chen said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have you to accompany me in my adventures, otherwise it would be quite boring." Traveling alone, when you have nothing to do, you can do nothing but practice. In fact, many times, practice is meaningless.
.
Saying that, Ye Chen held Murong Qingcheng's right hand and slid it into his clothes...
…
Another four or five days passed in a flash.
On this day, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng finally saw a human being.
"Brother, why don't you come over and talk about it?"
Ye Chen walked out of the puppet house, stood on the head of the flying puppet, and raised his voice.
From a distance, the human flew over.
This person's cultivation level is not weak either. Like Ye Chen, he is in the late stage of Linghai Realm. He is about forty years old. His eyes are full of caution. He stopped a few miles away and stopped approaching.
"My dear Ye Chen, do you know your surname?"
Ye Chen smiled.
"I'm going to lower my bangs."
"It turns out to be Brother Liu." Ye Chen clasped his fists.
Seeing that Ye Chen didn't look like a villain, Liu Hai quickly returned the favor.
Ye Chen took a look behind Liu Hai and asked, "Brother Liu, I saw that you were in a panic earlier, but nothing was chasing you, which surprised me."
Liu Hai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ye must be here for the first time!"
"indeed!"
Ye Chen nodded.
After a moment of silence, Liu Hai said: "This is an ominous place. I advise you to leave quickly."
"An ominous place?" Ye Chen's face showed confusion, "Brother Liu, why is this place ominous? Ye is very curious."
"Have you ever heard of the legend about the Isle of Devouring?"
"No."
Ye Chen shook his head.
"This place is a million miles in radius. Legend has it that there is a Devouring Island. People who are swallowed by the Devouring Island have never been able to come out. I wonder if it is a coincidence. Although this place is unknown, there are many treasures and many lucky people. Here
I got many treasures of immeasurable value. To be honest with Brother Ye, I came here just to try my luck. But I just heard some strange noises, so I left in a hurry and let Brother Ye see the joke." Liu Hai explained.
"The Devouring Island. There are so many treasures, are they interesting?"
Ye Chen touched his chin.
"Brother Ye, if nothing happens, I'll leave first." Liu Hai said.
"Okay, thank you very much."
"Farewell!"
He clasped his fists, and his bangs turned into streamers of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
After bending down and walking into the puppet house, Ye Chen said to Murong Qingcheng, "I don't know if it's true or not."
Murong Qingcheng said: "Maybe it's similar to the Mist Forbidden Zone."
"Well, it's better to stay away from this kind of place." No one wants to fall into such a dangerous place that they can't get out of. Years ago, Ye Chen also entered the foggy restricted area out of necessity. Normally, he would never do this.
.
…
As Liu Hai said, the treasures near the Devouring Island attracted many people. After flying for hundreds of thousands of miles, Ye Chen saw a green island. In addition to a large number of trees, there were also stretching buildings on the island.
, looks very prosperous.
"Let's go take a look."
Ye Chen controlled the flying puppet to get closer.
“Quite lively!”
Over the island, Ye Chen was a little surprised. The island was not a temporary residence. Obviously, it had developed into a special town. In the town, the warriors who came and went were those with the lowest cultivation level in the Star Realm, and occasionally auras could be seen.
The unfathomable half-step king.
"Ye Chen, let's go down!"
Murong Qingcheng suggested after not having hot meals for more than half a month.
"good."
Putting away the flying puppets, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng landed.
There are many people setting up stalls on the spacious and bustling street.
"Excellent water spirit stones, exchange them for three million pieces of high-grade spirit stones. If you are interested, please come quickly."
"Ten and a half top-grade Fire Cloud Stones, exchange them for 1.5 million top-grade spiritual stones. If you are the one, don't disturb me."
The stall was inconspicuous, but the slogan of the stall owner made Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng look at each other.
"it's wired."
Murong Qingcheng couldn't help but said.
"It's very strange. Aren't they afraid of being remembered?" In a place without rules like this, it is very unwise to expose wealth, unless you are very confident in your own strength, but Ye Chen doesn't think so.
The stall owners can keep their own wealth, and the one with the highest cultivation level is only the peak cultivation level in the late Linghai realm.
"Hey, you two are new here, right?"
Next to me, a middle-aged man said kindly.
"Yes, we just came to this island."
Ye Chen replied.
"This island is called Crystal Island. You two may not know that Crystal Island is not without rules, but an island with very strict rules. The one who controls Crystal Island is the Blackwater Alliance. In the Blackwater Alliance, the fifth-level forces have
There are more than twenty and hundreds of sixth-grade forces. If you want to cause trouble here, you will have to face the pursuit of Blackwater Alliance masters." The middle-aged man explained.
"That's it." Ye Chen nodded, but he still had doubts in his heart. He secretly thought, even if it is safe here, there is no need to trade all kinds of treasures openly.
Seeming to see Ye Chen's confusion, the middle-aged man continued: "The reason why these stall owners are eager to sell their treasures in exchange for high-grade spiritual stones is because the Blackwater Alliance has mastered the method of making true essence crystals and sells them to outsiders.
You can buy as many spiritual stones as you can afford."
"True Essence Crystal, for sale!" Ye Chen was shocked.
It is very difficult for half-step kings to make true essence crystals. There are absolutely very few half-step kings who can do it. Only kings in the life and death realm can make it, but it is impossible for a king in the life and death realm to sell the true essence crystals they make.
There is no shortage of spiritual stones, and secondly, manpower is limited, so we have to practice and make true energy crystals every day. This is not necessary.
True Yuan Crystals are very useful. If used for cultivation, they can achieve ten times the result with half the effort. In the True Spirit Continent, True Yuan Crystals are definitely a priceless treasure. No sect is willing to sell True Yuan Crystals.
"The deep sea is full of strange things."
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Murong Qingcheng said to the middle-aged man: "You can really use spiritual stones to buy true essence crystals. How many high-grade spiritual stones are there for one?"
"Because true essence crystals are so precious, there is no standard. On Crystal Island, ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one low-grade true essence crystal, one million yuan can be exchanged for one mid-grade true essence crystal, and as for high-grade true essence crystals.
The Blackwater Alliance does not."
True Essence Crystals are also divided into different grades. Those who have just entered the realm of life and death can only make low-grade True Essence Crystals at most. Only those who have cultivated for more than a thousand years can make mid-grade True Essence Crystals.
“I don’t know where I can redeem it.”
Ye Chen wanted to go and have a look.
"There is a tower there. Did you see it? It is managed by experts from the Blackwater Alliance. After you enter, someone will receive you."
The middle-aged man pointed to a tower at the end of the street.
"Thanks for letting me know."
Ye Chen and the two said goodbye to the middle-aged man and walked towards the tower.
There were no guards outside the tower, so Ye Chen and the two walked directly in.
"Are you here to exchange the True Essence Crystal?"
As soon as I entered, a strong and powerful man came over to greet me.
"good."
Ye Chen looked around and found that there were only a few people on the first floor, but there were many unfathomable auras above the second floor. They should be masters of the Blackwater Alliance.
"You are new here, please register here first."
The strong man took out a hexagonal crystal that looked like jade but not jade, and looked like crystal but not crystal. The crystal emitted a circle of light and scanned Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng. Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng narrowed their eyes slightly, and they had noticed.
, your own image is stored in the hexagonal crystal, along with the date you arrived at Crystal Island, making it difficult to fake it.
"alright!"
Putting away the hexagonal crystal, Biao Qiang said: "Since you have been on Crystal Island for less than a year, each of you can only redeem ten low-grade true essence crystals per month."
"Didn't that person just say that you can exchange it unlimitedly?"
Ye Chen said.
"He must not have made it clear. This is the rule here. However, if you are willing to take over the task of my Blackwater Alliance, not only can you cancel the one-year period, but you can also get a 10% discount on the exchange of True Essence Crystals."
"Take the mission, what mission?"
"On the first of every month, there will be a mission card on the central square of Crystal Island. You can decide which mission to take."
"In that case, let's redeem twenty low-grade true essence crystals for us first!" Ye Chen took out twenty boxes containing high-grade spiritual stones and piled them on the ground.
“Just the right amount!”
The strong man opened each box, nodded, took out twenty crystals with dreamy luster from the storage ring and handed them to Ye Chen.
After leaving the tower, Ye Chen said: "I never imagined that there is such an island in the deep sea."
"The world is full of wonders, Ye Chen, do we want to stay here for a while?" Murong Qingcheng asked, playing with the True Essence Crystal in his hand.
"Anyway, there's nothing going on. I'll just stay here for a few days and see."
Ye Chen said.
After finding a restaurant, Ye Chen and the two of them checked in.
Next, Ye Chen began to refine the True Essence Crystal.
True Yuan Crystal is a solid formed by condensed True Yuan. However, it does not mean that you can compress your own True Yuan into crystal. It means that you have to remove some attributes from the True Yuan and turn it into a crystal that everyone can refine.
True Essence Crystal, for example, if you are an earth attribute True Essence, the directly compressed True Essence Crystal is not a pure True Essence Crystal, but an earth attribute True Essence Crystal. Not only is it low in stability, it is easy to scatter, and it can only be given
It is refined by earth attribute cultivators and has very little use.
The True Essence Crystal is indeed a True Essence Crystal. With only five pieces, Ye Chen raised his cultivation level from the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm to the peak of the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm. If this was replaced by a high-grade spiritual stone, it would take at least several months.
