Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 103: Demon Attracting Powder

"Is this Four Seas Island very prosperous?" Fang Hong pointed to the center of the map, his gaze slightly curious as he asked.

"Yes, Senior." The Blue-robed strongman nodded in response, his eyes gleaming with longing, "Four Seas Island is the most prosperous large island in the Inner Sea, not only rich in resources and covered with spiritual veins, but also the foundation of the Inner Sea overlord, the Four Seas Sect."

"Inner Sea overlord, Four Seas Sect." Fang Hong murmured the name softly, silently committing it to memory.

He then asked, "You just said Inner Sea, is there also an Outer Sea?"

"Yes, Senior, the Outer Sea is the Demonic Sea. I heard that it’s the territory of Demonic Beasts. Many powerful cultivators go there to hunt Demonic Beasts for resources, although I haven’t been there myself."

The Blue-robed strongman smiled bitterly; his cultivation was too low, so he didn’t dare to go to the Outer Sea.

"Demonic Sea..." Fang Hong’s eyes lit up slightly, and he was secretly pleased, "So those Demonic Beasts all live there."

He continued to ask, "Then why doesn’t this map mark the location of the Demonic Sea?"

"Senior, you may not know, but this is only a low-level map, usually only recording the Inner Sea terrain. The Outer Sea is very far from the Inner Sea, so it’s not depicted on the map."

"How far?"

"Uh, I don’t know the exact distance yet, but it is rumored that even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would take one or two years to fly from the Inner Sea to the Outer Sea."

Fang Hong nodded. Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would take so long to fly, so it seemed the Outer Sea was indeed quite far.

"If Senior wishes to go to the Outer Sea, you can go via a Teleportation Array," the Blue-robed strongman suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "I heard that Four Seas City has many Teleportation Arrays leading to various islands in the Outer Sea, which are convenient and fast."

"Alright, thank you for the information. Do you have any other maps? If so, I’ll buy this map," Fang Hong smiled faintly, then asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Blue-robed strongman nodded repeatedly, "If Senior likes it, please take it."

Fang Hong took out three hundred spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over, then his figure flickered, transforming into a red streak of light and soaring away.

"Body transforming into a streak of light! Heavens! Could this Senior be a Core Formation Stage cultivator?!"

"I actually saw a Core Formation Stage cultivator up close!"

"But... why did he ask such common-sense questions?"

...

After Fang Hong left, the Blue-robed strongman’s subordinates began to discuss animatedly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Hey! The affairs of a Core Formation Stage Senior are not for us lowly cultivators to discuss. All of you, pay attention, lest the Demonic Beasts attack again!" The Blue-robed strongman scolded.

The Everyone had no choice but to compose themselves and return to their respective posts, continuing their patrol and guard duties.

...

After getting the map, Fang Hong immediately flew towards Four Seas Island. He was already eager to go to the Outer Sea, hunt Demonic Beasts, and improve his cultivation.

Ten days later, after flying an unknown distance, Fang Hong finally arrived in front of Four Seas Island.

A colossal island appeared in his sight, with towering mountains extending, lush and green, shrouded in mist.

Below the peaks was a massive urban complex, with tall pavilions, magnificent palaces, crisscrossing one another.

At the edge of the giant island, there were even tall city walls encircling the entire island.

On these city walls, at regular intervals, circular stone pillars were erected, with spiritual light flowing and interacting, forming a huge, faintly visible light shield.

Fang Hong could tell at a glance that this massive light shield was actually Four Seas Island’s island-protecting grand array, possessing formidable power.

It was impossible to fly directly into the island from high in the sky; one had to enter the island through the various city gates.

Fang Hong stopped in the air and observed for a while. There were many city gates for entering the island. He saw many cultivators entering through one city gate, so he followed suit.

The city gate was five or six zhang tall, and two Blue-robed cultivators were stationed there to collect an entrance fee. Their strength was not weak; both were at the early stage of foundation building of cultivation.

Fang Hong guessed that they should be disciples of the Four Seas Sect, and only they would dare to collect fees here.

Fang Hong flew forward. After they sensed Fang Hong’s aura, their originally lazy expressions suddenly changed, and they respectfully said, "Senior, please pay the city entrance fee, ten spirit stones."

Fang Hong said nothing, took out ten spirit stones and handed them over, then casually asked, "Can one fly inside the city?"

"Yes, yes, there are no restrictions inside the city, as long as Senior doesn’t cause widespread destruction," the Blue-robed cultivator carefully reminded him.

"Good."

Fang Hong nodded and flew into the island along the towering city gate passage.

After passing through the city gate passage, Fang Hong successfully arrived in Four Seas City.

Here, streets crisscrossed, with various shops and pavilions on both sides. People came and went, making it bustling and lively, and many cultivators flew in the sky on their Spiritual Artifacts.

Fang Hong took out his leaf-shaped Spiritual Artifact and flew slowly in the air, curiously observing his surroundings, experiencing the local customs and culture.

Just as he hadn’t flown far, suddenly, a woman’s voice came from behind.

"Senior, please wait."

Fang Hong turned his head and saw a woman in green robes flying towards him, stepping on a Flying Sword.

The woman in green robes looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate appearance and a beaming smile. Her cultivation was merely at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer.

Fang Hong felt a slight doubt in his heart, stopped his Spiritual Artifact, and quietly waited for the other party to approach.

"Hello, Senior, my name is Xiao Shi, and I am a disciple of the Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce." The woman in green robes flew closer and bowed respectfully.

"What do you want from me?" Fang Hong’s tone was calm.

"I just saw Senior looking around in the sky. Could it be your first time in Four Seas City?" Xiao Shi asked with a smile.

"Yes, it’s my first time," Fang Hong nodded in response.

"Indeed." Xiao Shi smiled sweetly, "As I guessed, Senior must be preparing to travel to the Outer Sea via the Teleportation Array to hunt Demonic Beasts, right?"

"You’re quite good at guessing."

"Just a little." Xiao Shi’s smile deepened, "Powerful cultivators like Senior all come for the Teleportation Array. Since Senior is going to kill Demonic Beasts, you must be buying Demon Attraction Powder, right?"

"Demon Attraction Powder?" Fang Hong was a little puzzled.

"What is that?"

"Ah? Senior... you don’t know Demon Attraction Powder? Demon Attraction Powder is a special medicine that can attract Demonic Beasts. It’s an essential item for going out to sea to kill Demonic Beasts." Xiao Shi was momentarily stunned.

How could this Senior not even know about Demon Attraction Powder?

"To kill Demonic Beasts at sea, must one use Demon Attraction Powder?" Fang Hong asked doubtfully.

"Of course. Otherwise, in this vast ocean, Demonic Beasts all live in the sea. Without the aid of Demon Attraction Powder, how could Senior find Demonic Beasts? You can’t just keep diving to the bottom of the sea, can you?" Xiao Shi smiled.

Fang Hong remained silent. He suddenly realized that he had thought of the Demonic Beasts in the sea too simply. Just as Xiao Shi said, the ocean is so vast, no matter how many Demonic Beasts there are, if you can’t find them, it’s useless.
