Chapter 338: Bloodline of the Holy Beast, the First City in the Inner Sea
After being struck by lightning for thirty-six times, the dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed, and the purple beast had long disappeared from the sky. What was left was a purple ball of light, which exuded the breath of the purple beast and a strong smell of blood, but the breath of the purple beast was very weak.
Seeing the purple ball of light, although Li Yi was full of doubts, he no longer hesitated and grabbed the purple ball of light and stuffed it into the space of the small tripod.
At the moment when Li Yi grabbed the ball of light, a dazzling blue light came from the sky in the distance. The blue light was still more than a hundred miles away, but the breath on it was very huge, and the speed of escape was extremely fast.
"Not good, it's the Nascent Soul stage transformed monster beast coming, hurry up." Li Yi's face changed drastically, roared, and said.
After hearing Li Yi's order, the Eight-winged Cold Snake emitted a stream of green whirlwinds from its body, and then disappeared in the wind with a whoosh. When it appeared again, it was already dozens of feet away. The Eight-winged Cold Snake also knew that the person who came was a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, so it naturally did not dare to neglect him. It desperately used the Wind Escape Technique to escape quickly. In just a moment, it disappeared from the spot.
After a full stick of incense, an ugly middle-aged man appeared at the place where the purple beast was originally undergoing the tribulation. The man was wearing a blue robe and had sharp eyes. When he came here, he clapped his hands, and several level 7 and 8 demon beasts that were originally competing for the purple beast's blood were killed by this demon with one palm. The remaining demon beasts, in panic, all fled away.
Then, the middle-aged man reached down and grabbed a drop of purple-red blood. The man looked at the blood in his hand and said excitedly: "It's the blood of the holy beast. Although it is much thinner, it is still a very rare blood. I must get it. As long as I can get it, I can advance quickly. But why did the breath suddenly disappear?"
At this time, the blue-robed man flashed and caught an escaping eighth-level monster beast. He asked the monster a few questions. The eighth-level monster beast trembled and told the monster what he saw. Then, the blue-robed man threw the monster away and chased in the direction where Li Yi fled.
Li Yi galloped all the way, not daring to stop at all. He knew that there was a Yuanying-stage monster beast chasing him behind him. After a period of time, Li Yi and the eight-winged cold snake took turns to travel. It took more than half a year to finally reach the edge of the inner sea. Li Yi was relieved, but he did not dare to stop, but continued to run wildly towards the depths of the inner sea.
Finally, Li Yi changed his appearance and fled towards the Holy City in the Inner Sea. After entering the Inner Sea, Li Yi was no longer so worried, because ordinary high-level monsters did not dare to enter the Inner Sea. Even the Yuanying stage monsters in the transformation stage did not have the courage. There were many Yuanying stage cultivators in the Inner Sea. As long as they were targeted, even the monsters in the transformation stage would be killed. This ban was almost a consensus between humans and monsters in the Endless Sea. Of course, ordinary Yuanying stage cultivators did not dare to enter the outer sea. As long as they were encountered by high-level monsters, they would only be hunted down. Unless there was something very important or some treasure was born, otherwise, both sides rarely crossed the border.
Not long after Li Yi left, the blue-robed man also chased to the edge of the inner sea, but the monster did not dare to go deep. At this time, he had already gone deep into the inner sea, thousands of miles away. If he chased further, it would be very dangerous. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he stamped his feet and left this place, flying towards the depths of the outer sea, still holding the drop of purple-red blood in his hand.
"The blood of the holy beast was actually taken away by a human and entered the inner sea. It is not something I can find. Although it is a pity, with this drop of blood, I reported this to the Dragon King, which is also a great achievement. That old guy should be more eager to get the blood of the holy beast than me. He should give me a lot of things, and after I get it, I may not be able to swallow it alone." The blue-robed man thought so, and turned into a blue sea snake and dived into the depths of the seabed.
It was not until he entered the inner sea within a thousand miles that Li Yi no longer felt the threat. After flying for more than a year, Li Yi came to a huge city and stopped.
The entire city is a hundred feet high. The city wall is made of various black boulders, and there are flashing lights on it. It should be a very powerful ban. The words "Holy City" are written on the top of the city wall. The city wall is full of monks guarding the city. These monks are at the lowest level of foundation building, and the leader is a Jindan monk. In the city gate tower, there are several strong auras, which should be old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage.
Li Yi swept his mind and took it back without alarming these people, and then fell down. At this time, there were already two Jindan monks at the door, looking at him.
At this time, a rather clever young man in the foundation building stage came to Li Yi and asked with a smile: "Senior, I wonder if you come to this city to live? Or buy something?"
"This is my first time in the Holy City. It is rumored that this city is the largest city in the Endless Sea. I want to buy something and may live here for a while. Can you introduce me to something?" Li Yi said lightly.
"Okay, senior, please come this way. You are a cultivator in the Jindan stage. If you want to buy something, you can stay in this city for a month, but if you want to live here for a long time, you need a cave here. This city can rent a cave to you. I wonder if you want to rent a cave or stay for a short time?" The young man in the foundation-building stage looked at Li Yi and asked expectantly.
Li Yi pondered for a moment, quite surprised. This city belongs to the territory of the Three Saints Island, and the spiritual energy contained in it is rich. It actually rents out caves. He asked: "How do you rent caves here? Tell me!"
When he heard that Li Yi wanted to rent a cave, the old man with a long beard in the Jindan stage on the other side had a gleam in his eyes and said with a smile: "Nephew, you can leave! This Taoist friend wants to rent a cave, and I will receive him."
After hearing this, the young man in the foundation-building stage had a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything. He bowed respectfully to Li Yi and the old man with a long beard in the Jindan stage, and then left.
"I'm Zhou Ruocun, the outer sect deacon of the Three Saints Island. Nice to meet this fellow Taoist. May I know your name, what sect you are from, and what kind of cave you need to rent? The caves here are divided into three grades: heaven, earth, and human. The heaven-shaped caves are basically prepared for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. The annual rent is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, with a minimum lease of 50 years. The earth-shaped caves are prepared for cultivators in the Golden Core stage. The annual rent is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the minimum lease is 50 years. Of course, if you can come up with enough spirit stones, we can prepare one or two heaven-shaped caves for you, but what about the price? It will cost 150,000 low-grade spirit stones a year. As for the human-shaped caves, they are prepared for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage and the Qi Refining stage. I guess you won't like them, so I won't say much." The long-browed cultivator Zhou Ruocun looked at Li Yi and said with a smile.
