Demon's Diary Chapter 1228: SKy High Price

Chapter 1228: SKy High Price

After some communication, Liu Ming learned that the 3 of them also got stranded in the Savage Wild Continent for some unknown reasons. Ad after some twists and turns, they came to Luo City and rented a place.

Among them, the taoist surnamed Yan and the young woman surnamed Jing were also from 2 thousands of years sect that weren’t very famous in the Middle Sky Continent.

The burly man surnamed Ge came from a place called Wuhu Sea. Although Liu Ming had never heard of it, judging from his words, it should be a place similar to the Sea Region.

Liu Ming didn’t hide anything about his ident.i.ty. When the taoist surnamed Yan and the young woman surnamed Jing heard that Liu Ming was from the Taiqing Sect, they immediately showed admiration. The burly man surnamed Ge also looked very yearning for the 4 ancient sects of the Middle Sky Continent. He seemed to have heard about it from the other 2.

Liu Ming saw the expressions of these people, took a sip of spiritual tea, and said with a smile,

“I don’t think you came to visit me just for chatting right? If you want anything, I’m all ears.”

The three of them couldn’t help but look at each other when they heard the words, then Yan Qing laughed and said,

“Mr. Liu is really forthright, then I won’t beat around the bush. If I’m not mistaken, the purpose of sir should be the same as mine, that is to take the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p of Blood Vine Race to the Middle Sky Continent right?”

“Brother Yan is right. I’m here for this purpose. It’s a pity that I came a step late. I heard that a few years ago, the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p just set sail. Could it be that you also missed it by chance?” Liu Ming nodded and said with some surprise.

The 3 of them had wry smiles on their faces when they heard this.

“To tell you the truth, Mr. Liu. I have been here in Luo City for more than 70 years. Fairy Jing and Mr. Ge came here earlier than me, above 100 years.” Yan Qing looked at the young woman surnamed Jing and the burly man surnamed Ge.

The other 2 nodded helplessly upon hearing this.

“Why are you guys still here? Could it be that… there are other conditions required to take the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p?” Liu Ming asked a little strangely.

He had also collected some information about the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p over the years, but because it was too far away from Luo City, most of them were fragmentary rumors.

However, in those information, apart from mentioning that a large amount of spirit stones was required to take the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p, there seemed to be no other harsh conditions.

“Hehe, besides the spirit stones, there were really no other conditions to take the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p.” The young woman surnamed Jing revealed a bitter expression and shook her head.

Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, but at the same time, he looked puzzled.

“Mr. Liu probably hasn’t inquired about how much spirit stone it costs to take the giant boat, right?” Seeing Liu Ming’s expression, Yan Qing seemed to understand something, so he said.

“I have just arrived in Luo City today, so I didn’t have the time for that. According to Mr. Yan, does it mean that the cost to take the giant boat is expensive?” Liu Ming put down his teacup and said with a slight frown.

“Not only is it expensive, but the number of spirit stones needed is beyond what ordinary Real Pellet State cultivators like us can produce.” The burly man surnamed Ge, who seldom spoke, said indignantly.

“Oh, how many spirit stones are that?” Liu Ming asked in a deep voice.

Yan Qing sighed and reported a figure that shocked both Liu Ming and Qian Rupin, 500 million spirit stones per person.

Liu Ming was stunned when he heard this. 500 million spirit stones, even for Taiqing Sect, was not a small amount. If it was in the Yunchuan Continent, even all the big and small sects added together might not be able to pay for it.

Since his trip to the deepest underworld, he didn’t have too many spirit stones on him now. He left some for the Savage Ghost Sect in the Sea Region, and he spent a lot of money along the way in the Savage Wild Continent without any scruples. Now at best, he only had around 20 to 30 million. Even if he sold all the spiritual materials and herbs, he couldn’t even earn a slot, let alone Qian Rupin couldn’t be left alone.

“Looking at Mr. Liu’s expression, you probably won’t be able to pay so many spirit stones. The same goes for me and others. Fortunately, our cultivation is not weak. As long as we don’t provoke those major forces in the Savage Wild Continent, we can still protect ourselves. But if we act alone, we can only take some small missions. Therefore, we have been doing missions as 3 all these years. While taking missions with higher rewards, we also hunt beastkins and gathered spiritual materials to acc.u.mulate the spirit stones to ride the giant boat.” Yan Qing took a look at Liu Ming and explained calmly.

“500 million spirit stones are really difficult.” Since the other party said this, Liu Ming naturally roughly guessed their intention this time.

“I wonder if Mr. Liu is interested in joining us? I believe that if the four of us join forces, we can accept most of the tasks, and we can also go to some more dangerous places. Then, we will acc.u.mulate spirit stones faster.” Yan Qing looked at Liu Ming expectantly and asked.

Hearing this, Liu Ming had a thoughtful look.

Seeing this, the three of them exchanged glances again.

“Mr. Liu is not interested in this? Based on our experience in the Savage Wild Continent for so many years, I believe that there is no faster way to earn spirit stone than this.” Yan Qing said eagerly.

“I have just arrived in Luo City, and I don’t know much about everything here, so I plan to rest for a while. When I’m ready, I will contact you again.” Liu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said so.

When the 3 of them heard this, they were a little stunned, then they smiled wryly.

Although Liu Ming said so, he had already expressed the intention of rejecting.

“It seems that Mr. Liu has already found a way to earn spirit stones. In this case, I won’t force it. But after all, we are all human cultivators. Now we are in a foreign continent, we should help each other in everything. After all, the beastkins here are not hostile to our human cultivators, but they are not very friendly either. If Mr. Liu needs help with anything in the future, just come to us. We will leave now.” Yan Qing stood up and said with a slightly regretful tone.

The young woman surnamed Jing and the burly man surnamed Ge also stood up. Their att.i.tudes were obviously a little colder. After bidding farewell, they walked outside.

After Yan Qing bowed his hands to Liu Ming, he also took his leave and left.

Liu Ming saw the 3 of them off, launched a symbol and closed the door.

Liu Ming stood still in place and thought.

He really never expected that the cost to take the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p was so high.

But it was normal to think about it. From the Savage Wild Continent to the Middle Sky Continent, ordinary means would definitely not work. Even through the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p had to take 50 years to cross it. The long distance and the difficult journey could be imagined.

He believed that activating this cave spirit treasure would consume an astronomical amount of resources.

For him, it was not just 500 million, but 10 billion.

After Liu Ming thought about it for a while, he already had a certain idea, then he returned to the living room.

In the living room, Qian Rupin had already walked out, looking at Liu Ming with an awkward expression.

“Ruping, you heard our conversation just now?” Liu Ming glanced at Qian Rupin and said slowly.

After Qian Rupin nodded, her face turned slightly pale.

Although she was a high rank cultivator of the Tianyue Sect in the Sea Region and she had a lot of cultivation resources, in fact, the largest number of spirit stones she had ever seen was at most several million. Compared with the astronomical number of spirit stones required by the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p, she couldn’t even pay a fraction.

“Don’t worry, there are still about a hundred years before the sea-crossing giant s.h.i.+p sails. We still have time. Plus, I already have a plan to ​​earn spirit stones, so it shouldn’t be a problem for the two of us to take the giant s.h.i.+p to the Middle Sky Continent.” Liu Ming suddenly said with a smile.

“Really?” Qian Rupin’s beautiful eyes lit up when she heard that.

“Of course, but I still need to confirm a few things first. You go to rest first. Tomorrow we will go for a walk in Luo City.” Liu Ming said this and walked back to the secret room.

The next morning, when he walked out of the secret room, he found that Qian Rupin was already fully dressed. She was restless in the living room, looking excited.

Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn’t help smiling.

This little girl had obviously put aside the sky-high price of the hundreds of millions of spirit stone tickets, and she was only thinking about today’s trip to the city.

“You must be looking forward to it. Let’s go.” Liu Ming said and took the lead to go out.

Qian Rupin responded and followed him quickly.

In the early morning, the sun was rising. There was a cool atmosphere everywhere. The wide streets were full of pedestrians, and the shops everywhere naturally opened early to welcome guests of all races.

Speaking of it, the Savage Wild Continent was vast and boundless. Each of the major races had its own local specialties. However, due to the war situation, most of the transactions were limited to neighboring tribes, even those large and medium-sized cities that Liu Ming and Qian Rupin pa.s.sed through before, there were only a few races operating in them.

However, in Luo City, all major races could operate and trade with ease. The Blood Vine Race only charged a small amount of fee.

After tens of thousands of years of operation, Luo City had such a huge scale. Now, except for the Shadow Wolf Race, Silver Tiger Race, and Savage Bear Race, the 3 big clans that had not yet opened shops here, the other 4 big races had already launched their shops in the city.

Obviously, Blood Vine Race’s ability to occupy the first place in Savage Wild Continent, which was full of powerhouses, was not only due to the great strength of the patriarch, but it was also inseparable from its idea governing idea.

Liu Ming took Qian Rupin to select some shops that sold books. During the purchase process, he inquired about this information, and he couldn’t help but secretly admire Blood Vine Race’s way of life.

After half a day, he bought a lot of books about the Savage Wild Continent. Most of which introduced spiritual materials and herbs, totem mystic arts, and some information about the Savage Wild 8 Races.

It wasn’t until sunset that they returned to the rented cave house with these books.

TL: Can he ask Yao Ji for help in this?
