Before setting off for Vast Sea City, he had to make thorough arrangements for Lan Xi .
He brought Lan Xi to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
This time, he didn't go directly to the spring, but stopped at a flat spot on the edge of the valley where he could feel the rich energy but wouldn't be directly affected by the extreme environment.
" Lan Xi , your brother needs to leave for a while to acquire a new spirit ring. The energy here is abundant, making it perfect for your cultivation. I'll build you a little home here, okay?"
Jiang Zhen said softly.
Although Lan Xi was a little reluctant, she nodded very understandingly: "Yes! Lan Xi will cultivate diligently here and wait for brother to return!"
Jiang Zhen acted immediately.
He used his soul power, like the most skilled craftsman, and the nearby tough ironwood flew up, and under his precise control, it was cut, polished, and joined together with mortise and tenon joints.
In just half a day, a delicate and sturdy little wooden house rose from the ground.
The room is fully furnished with beds, tables and chairs, and even a small dressing table made of stones. The window faces the misty Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, creating a unique view.
Next, he purchased a large quantity of easily stored food, clean water, and various daily necessities.
It was placed into a spatial soul tool and left for Lan Xi .
Finally, he also asked Dugu Bo for a favor.
After arranging everything, Jiang Zhen finally left with peace of mind.
...
Several days later, in Vast Sea City.
This largest coastal city in the southwestern part of the empire has a salty and humid atmosphere that is completely different from that inland.
The dock was filled with masts and sails that blocked out the sun. The shouts, bargaining, and the sound of the waves mingled together to create a bustling and lively symphony.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and everywhere you could see burly Sea Soul Masters dressed in waterproof leather, as well as merchants from all over the country.
Jiang Zhen, dressed in a blue and white robe, walked along the bustling street. His demeanor seemed somewhat out of place with the slightly rugged surroundings, yet strangely blended in with them.
His goal for this trip was clear—to obtain the fifth spirit ring.
However, he did not go out to sea immediately. Instead, he strolled around the city, feeling the atmosphere of the city, while also thinking about which soul beast to choose.
Should we still go to the deep sea and let things take their course, or should we go directly to find the Evil Spirit Orca or the Demon Soul Great White Shark?
As he walked past a stall selling all sorts of strange seashells and conches, a slight commotion caught his attention.
Not far ahead, beside a fish stall, an old man selling fish was yelling impatiently at a figure:
"Get out of here! If you're not buying, don't touch it like that! You've rubbed off all the scales of my top-quality tuna! Can you afford to pay for it if you damage it?"
The one being scolded was a young girl.
She has long, light blue hair that shimmers like water under the sunlight, reaching her waist, and is tied to the side with a unique purple bow, making her look playful and cute.
She wore a blue dress with white trim and purple patterns, revealing her fair legs. The dress was exquisite and had a touch of nautical flair.
She wore dark brown arm sleeves with small bows at the cuffs, and clean white flat shoes.
At this moment, she was pouting slightly, her clear and bright eyes innocently looking at the still-jumping tuna, and then at the angry old man.
She whispered in defense, "I...I just thought it was pretty, the scales had a jewel-like sheen...I didn't damage it..."
Her voice was soft and melodious, carrying a kind of innocent naiveté.
The old man, however, persisted.
"Pretty? Can being pretty put food on the table? If you're not going to buy it, then get out of here!"
The girl seemed a little lost, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
Jiang Zhen's eyes flickered slightly.
The aura of a young girl...
In his senses, which had been enhanced by the Water Dragon King's soul bone, there was something unusual.
Her human aura was almost flawless, but beneath that perfect disguise, his keen mental power detected a faint yet incredibly profound and vast fluctuation of primal energy.
That was an aura far older and purer than that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, originating from the same source as the ocean.
It's not human... and it's definitely not an ordinary soul beast.
Jiang Zhen made a judgment in an instant.
Based on her hair color and temperament, a name almost immediately comes to mind.
He stepped forward, standing between the girl and the old man, and calmly said to the old man:
"I'll buy this fish."
He casually tossed over a gold soul coin, which was worth far more than the fish itself.
The old man was taken aback, took the gold soul coin, immediately put on a smiling face, and awkwardly stopped talking.
The girl looked up in surprise at the person who had come to her rescue.
She saw a handsome young man with a cool demeanor but gentle eyes looking at her.
"Thank you... thank you."
She blinked her big eyes, a slight blush creeping onto her face. "Actually, I don't need to buy it..."
"It's alright."
Jiang Zhen smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the fish.
"It seems the young lady is quite fond of marine life?"
Mentioning this, the girl's eyes immediately lit up, as if stars were twinkling, and her previous embarrassment vanished instantly:
"Mmm! I love them so much! Each one is so unique and so beautiful! The ocean is the most magical place!"
Her tone was full of pure love and admiration.
"Yes, the ocean is truly amazing."
Jiang Zhen followed up on her words, seemingly casually mentioning, "I am also quite interested in this. The reason I came to Vast Sea City this time is to find a powerful sea spirit beast clan in order to obtain my fifth spirit ring."
"The girl seems to know a lot about sea spirit beasts."
"Do you know anything about Demon Soul Great White Sharks, or Evil Spirit Orca s?"
"A Evil Spirit Orca ?"
The girl furrowed her delicate brows slightly, her face revealing undisguised disdain.
"Those guys... I know them. A bunch of noisy, savage, and self-important idiots!"
"They always bully other sea spirit beasts, I hate them the most!"
Her words were innocent and straightforward, a purely instinctive rant about things she disliked, yet they revealed her extensive knowledge of that sea area.
Jiang Zhen understood immediately, but remained outwardly calm: "Oh? You seem to know a lot about them, young lady?"
The girl seemed to realize she had said too much, quickly covered her mouth, her eyes darting around, before whispering:
"Well... I don't know much about them, I've only heard my elders mention them. Their territory isn't far from my house."
She almost let it slip, but quickly glossed over it.
She glanced at Jiang Zhen. This young man had just helped her, and he was handsome and had a pleasant voice.
More importantly, he was going to cause trouble for those nasty Evil Spirit Orca s.
She glanced at Jiang Zhen.
A level 50 near-Soul King? Want to hunt the Evil Spirit Orca ?
A brilliant idea of "driving people to devour beasts" and "using someone else's knife to kill the beasts" instantly took shape in her little head.
It can help this handsome young man, teach those annoying Evil Spirit Orca sa lesson, and also give him a chance to go home and play – it's a win-win situation!
So she leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said with a sly smile like a little fox:
"Hey, if you really want to teach those stinky Evil Spirit Orca sa lesson... I... I might know the way?"
"If you give me a small reward, I can take you to the area where they often appear."
"How about it?"
