Chapter 203 Island No.

Zhong Lin was a little confused now. Ever since he had a chat with the sect leader Yu Jinglei, he had been thinking about how to go out to sea. He had even started to train Shi Yunyi. He had also wanted to find some more powerful and like-minded people. Who knew that he would come out directly through the teleportation array after just going out once? This made him feel like he was dreaming.

Feeling the rich energy of heaven and earth around him, Zhong Lin took a deep breath and looked into the distance with a burning gaze.

Falling Star Islands, here I come.

The cave where the teleportation array is located is extremely remote, with few people around, and is far away from the Falling Star Islands.

It was with Chen Jia's guidance that Zhong Lin slowly found the way. By the time he arrived at the island outside the Luoxing Islands, it was already dark.

In front of us, a vast city lies at the end of the horizon, exuding a wild atmosphere under the setting sun.

Circle after circle of city walls were built around a snow-white mountain in the center. The walls were covered with moss and sword marks, leaving no doubt about their antiquity.

A large number of pedestrians formed a bustling flow of people at the city gate. If Zhong Lin had not been able to sense the powerful aura of some of them, he would have thought that he had returned to Dachen.

"In front of us is the main city of the 81st island in the Falling Star Islands, Ziyun City. This is also where I settled when I first arrived in the Falling Star Islands."

Chen Jia's voice full of emotion sounded in Zhong Lin's heart, and he felt that the world had changed and people were no longer the same.

"The Falling Star Islands are composed of a total of 108 islands of varying sizes. Viewed from above, they form a ring-shaped archipelago. The Falling Star Islands are one of the islands farther from the Eastern Wasteland and are also part of the territory of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land."

"In the Falling Star Islands, each island has forces of varying sizes. The forces closer to the periphery are weaker, while the islands closer to the inner circle have richer vitality and stronger forces. Among them, the Seven Star Sect on the central Seven Star Island is the most powerful."

"Zhong Lin, this world is huge. The so-called Black Turtle Continent is just an isolated island in the vast ocean. Its area is less than one-hundredth that of the Falling Star Islands. And the Falling Star Islands are an archipelago far to the east. There are many archipelagos like this."

Chen Jia's voice was slow, but Zhong Lin was shocked when he heard it.

This world... is really big.

Black Turtle Continent... Luoxing Islands... Eastern Wasteland...

Zhong Lin's heart was filled with pride. He asked, "Master, what kind of power is the Heavenly Sword Holy Land?"

"I don't know. I've never been there either. When you become stronger, you can explore on your own. Let's go into the city first!"

There are patrol guards holding weapons at the city gate, each of them is a mid-level third-grade warrior with condensed qi and blood.

If this kind of behavior were to happen in the Black Turtle Continent, one could establish a sect and build a family, but here, one could only guard the gate. This shows how prosperous the martial arts of the Falling Star Islands are.

Zhong Lin followed the crowd into the city, looking around curiously.

Entering the city gate is the outer city area. The crisscrossing streets are very prosperous, and shops are lined up one after another. Zhong Lin saw several signs at a glance.

"Baiqiao Tower", "Minghua Pavilion", "Wanhai Tower"...

The Minghua Pavilion was particularly magnificent, its construction splendid and stunning. Furthermore, one could see beautiful women standing before the railings, dressed in scantily clad clothes, striking coquettish poses for the pedestrians below. These women were all high-ranking warriors, their figures even more enchanting than those of ordinary people, their exposed, slender, straight legs and slender waists...

"I didn't expect that Minghua Tower still exists after a thousand years. Zhong Lin, you can go in and take a look when you have time. The women inside are all entry-level warriors, strong and durable. Some women who have achieved success in Qi training even specialize in practicing some secret methods of dual cultivation, which can not only improve their cultivation, but also allow people to enjoy extreme bliss." Chen Jia joked.

Zhong Lin's face darkened. What he said was... really rude.

Suddenly, Zhong Lin stopped and asked warily, "Master, can you see what's going on outside at any time?"

"..."

Zhong Lin's face turned even darker. If he could really observe the outside at any time, then it wouldn't just be two people traveling together, it would be a live broadcast.

Fortunately, he did not return to Jianding Sect, otherwise his intimacy with Senior Sister Gu would have become a live broadcast, and was watched by a thousand-year-old ghost.

Gan!
"How can I be so bored at my age? Besides, do you think observing the outside world doesn't consume soul power?" Chen Jia's voice came.

"So, Master, can you really see it?" "..."

After some tug-of-war, Zhong Lin began to wander around the street again.

I used the silver to buy some street food and observed while walking. The currency of the Falling Star Islands is mainly gold and silver, while the spirit stones are items for some warriors.

When entering the Falling Star Islands for the first time, the first thing to do is to gain a foothold, and to gain a foothold one needs spirit stones. Zhong Lin is now penniless.

"Master, what do you think?"

Zhong Lin asked Chen Jia directly.

"Zhong Lin, although you are a fourth-grade alchemist, a fourth-grade alchemist is nothing special in the Falling Star Islands. If you want to earn enough spirit stones, you have to find a way to become a fifth-grade alchemist and refine fifth-grade pills."

Zhong Lin nodded. Alchemists are technical talents no matter where they are. As long as their level keeps up, it is very easy to earn enough spirit stones.

Chen Jia continued, "Fifth-Rank Alchemist, don't worry. This won't be done overnight. Let's go find an auction house first."

After some inquiries, Zhong Lin came to a building called "Ziyun Auction House".

The most powerful force on Island No. 81 is the Ziyun Sect, and the Ziyun Auction is hosted by the Zilin Sect.

"I need this item at auction. Please help me assess its value."

Zhong Lin placed a secret book in front of the treasure appraiser and said lightly.

"A low-grade Earth-level martial art, Senior, are you sure you want to auction this treasure?"

The treasure appraiser carefully looked at the secret book called "Golden Light Shield" and was shocked.

It was an earth-level martial art, and a defensive one at that. Even a strong man in the Spirit Sea Realm would be tempted by this kind of martial art. No wonder the treasure appraiser was so surprised.

Because ordinary Spirit Sea Realm experts, such as those from ordinary sects and independent cultivators, actually haven't practiced many Earth-level martial arts.

Defensive martial arts such as the Golden Light Shield are extremely difficult for ordinary Spiritual Sea Realm cultivators to practice, and are extremely precious even in a sect like the Purple Cloud Sect.

Therefore, this martial arts book can also be used as the finale item in the grand auction held every ten years.

"Master, isn't Earth-level martial arts too arrogant? Are there any Xuan-level ones?"

Zhong Lin asked in his heart.

"This is already the lowest-grade martial arts I can offer. Unfortunately, although the Ziyun Sect is the strongest force on this island, it is ultimately the strongest on the outer islands. The strongest person in the sect is probably only at the peak of the Spirit Embryo Realm. The Ziyun Sect is much inferior to the auctions held by those truly powerful sects, so it's a bargain for them." Chen Jia said proudly.

Feeling Chen Jia's Versailles, Zhong Lin could only shake his head in silence.

Looking up at the treasure appraiser in front of him, Zhong Lin nodded and said, "Help me evaluate its value. If I'm satisfied, I can consider selling it directly to your auction. The price it fetches at that time has nothing to do with me."

There are still a few months before the next Ziyun Auction, and Zhong Lin has no time to wait, so even if it means a little loss, he must first obtain enough spirit stones to gain a foothold.

With enough funds, many things can be easily solved.

"Senior, are you telling the truth?
After hearing Zhong Lin's words, the treasure appraiser instantly became excited. After all, this was a great thing for him and he could gain a lot of benefits.

"Of course it's true, but don't have any ulterior motives, otherwise I will settle the score with you." Zhong Lindian warned coldly.

As he spoke, a burst of soul power suddenly erupted from Chen Jia's soul-nourishing ring. Although it was only a fleeting flash, it made the treasure appraiser's face turn pale and even alarmed a powerful Spirit Sea Realm expert who was guarding the auction.
