Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

The air in Hanhai City was filled with the unique salty scent of the sea. After all, it was the first time that the Shrek Six Monsters had seen the sea, and they unconsciously wandered around for a while.

Due to the border conflict, the Star Luo Empire has entered a state of war preparedness. As a prince, Dai Mubai should tighten his belt and save funds for war preparations at this time.

Therefore, his monthly salary was significantly reduced. Furthermore, Dai Mubai didn't have a habit of saving money, resulting in the Shrek Six Devils living a very frugal life during their trip.

If Titan hadn't embezzled several thousand gold soul coins from the disciples of the Power Clan, they wouldn't even have had the funds to rent a ship, let alone purchase equipment for navigation.

After spending two days in Hanhai City, the Shrek Six Monsters had a general understanding of the situation within the city.

First, Hanhai City is far from the center of the continent, and the two great empires do not attach much importance to maritime transport.

For thousands of years since the establishment of the two great empires, countless border wars have taken place, but the flames of war have never reached Hanhai City.

In the eyes of mainland soul masters, the sea soul masters in Hanhai City are the lowest level, so the various forces on the continent have rarely paid attention to this place, let alone made any deployments there.

Inadvertently, this avoided the risk of Tang San and his group being wanted by the police.

But don't forget that every city in the Douluo Continent has a Spirit Hall, and Hanhai City is no exception.

Tang San was like a mouse seeing a cat when facing the Spirit Hall, avoiding it at all costs, and dared not investigate the situation of the Spirit Hall.

However, according to Zhu Zhuqing's understanding, the Spirit Hall here is different from that on the mainland.

The Spirit Hall here does not participate in the city's management and planning; they are only responsible for awakening spirits for eligible children within the city. When necessary, they will participate in some law enforcement work upon invitation from the City Lord's Mansion.

This is what the Spirit Hall originally looked like.

Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but sneer, "If all the Spirit Halls on the continent were like this, who could shake them?"

Tailong chimed in, "Hehe, Bibi Dong is just being greedy. Even if Wu Qi cleans up her mess, it won't change the overall situation. The decline of the Spirit Hall is inevitable."

After a few lighthearted banter, the Shrek Six Monsters finally remembered their business.

Tang San instructed, "Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, keep a close eye on the auction houses and trading posts in the city."

“We are not sea spirit masters after all. Once we enter the sea, we lose our means of self-defense. Therefore, we must purchase a batch of equipment to save our lives at sea.”

"I'll contact the shipowner with Tianheng later to find an ocean-going vessel. Tyron and Terra, you two continue to gather intelligence in the city and report back to me immediately if you have any news."

……

Eyes of ice and fire.

This wasn't Wu Qi's first time here, so he knew the place well.

For Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping, this was the first time they had seen the place where the immortal herb grew. They were captivated by the magnificent scenery and couldn't help but marvel.

Even within the realm of ice and fire, the growth cycle of immortal herbs still requires decades or even centuries. At this moment, the only mature medicinal materials left are the high-grade herbs cultivated by Dugu Bo.

Originally, Wu Qi planned to entrust this land to the Po clan to cultivate more medicinal herbs. However, they now need to complete their assessment here, so this idea has to be postponed.

Looking at the icy and fiery spring water at the source, as you get a little closer, a wave of heat and an aura of extreme cold hit you.

Qian Gu Chang Kong hesitated and asked, "This spring water contains such violent energy. If we enter it, will we really not die?"

He and Chen Ping had never used the power of the spring water for training before. It was their first time encountering the spring water, and they were unable to adapt to its violent energy in a short period of time.

Wu Qi chuckled, walked to their side, and pointed to the clear boundary between the two springs.

"Entering just one type of spring could indeed be fatal for you. But at the junction of two springs, the violent power will be subdued, making it more suitable for forging the strength of your body."

Physical strength is extremely important for Soul Masters. Ordinary Soul Masters can only rely on the enhancements brought by Soul Rings and their own training to temper their physique. However, training under pressure can achieve twice the result with half the effort. And the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the storms in Hurricane Canyon are the best ways to temper one's physique.

To become a god, it is not enough to raise one's soul power level to level 100; one's mental strength and physical strength must also reach the god-level.

The God of Destruction arranged two stress training sessions to bring the three men's physiques to an unparalleled level, so that their success rate would be greater when they received the inheritance in the future.

This wasn't the first time Wu Qi had used the Ice and Fire Spring to cultivate. Combined with the medicinal power of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Herb within his body, he was now able to easily infiltrate it.

To help Qian Gu Chang Kong and the other person adapt to the power of the spring water, he did not attempt to dive down for the time being.

The time for the divine examination is indeed very tight, but there is no rush.

……

Hanhai City.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had funds and purchased the necessary items for their voyage without encountering any problems.

However, things didn't go so smoothly for Tang San.

Finding a boat is easy, but when they hear that it's going to Poseidon Island, the boat owners are trying to avoid it like the plague.

Don't these ship owners want to go to Poseidon Island?
The answer is no. As Sea Soul Masters, they all worship the Sea God.

However, to reach Poseidon Island, one must pass through the Demon Whale Sea, beneath which lies a great terror—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Crossing the Demon Whale Sea requires more than just a nautical chart; it also demands immense courage and determination.

Unfortunately, these ship owners either had the courage but lacked nautical charts for the relevant waters, or they had the charts but were afraid of losing their lives and fortunes and were therefore unwilling to go.

After failing to get any information, Tang San returned to his hotel and couldn't help but feel irritated.

"Damn it, these ship owners are all unmoved. Even if you offer them 10,000 gold soul coins, they won't budge!"

Hanhai City is a large city, but because it is isolated from other cities on the mainland, its commercial market is almost entirely internal.

As a result, income and expenses within the city are very low, and 10,000 gold soul coins is definitely not a small amount.

The price of building an ocean-going vessel is probably not that high.

Unfortunately, ships have a price, but sailors are priceless.

Training an excellent sailor is not something that can be done in a hundred days or so; it requires years, or even decades, of experience.

Buying a ship and the lives of the sailors for 10,000 gold soul coins is definitely a losing proposition.

Dai Mubai comforted her, "Xiao San, calm down first. Tian Heng hasn't returned yet, maybe he can bring back good news."

Tang San suppressed his anxiety and could only wait for Yu Tianheng's situation.

Not long after, Yu Tianheng rushed back.

"We've found a boat; a boat owner is willing to give us a ride."

These words were like a timely rain after a long drought.

Tang San quickly asked, "How big is the shipowner's ship? Can it withstand the strong winds and waves of the deep sea?"

These are all things that need to be clarified. If it's just a small boat, a single wave in the deep sea could capsize it; wouldn't that just be asking for trouble? (End of Chapter)
