As the center of the entire Blackwind Sea, Blackwind Island had a vast territory. Rather than calling it an island, it might be more appropriate to call it the Blackwind Continent.
In addition to the main island, there were dozens of islands of different sizes scattered around.
Blackwind Island was densely covered in spirit veins and rich in spiritual energy. It had a vast territory and abundant resources, far better than the other islands. It also had the only teleportation array that connected it to the outside world.
Every day, countless cultivators, mortals, and all kinds of cultivation resources and materials gathered here from all over the Blackwind Sea like rivers flowing into the sea. Similarly, there were also countless treasures of heaven and earth that were exchanged here and spread in all directions. The prosperity of this place was unimaginable.
Some people even said that half of the essence of the entire Blackwind Sea was on this Blackwind Island.
On the southern coast of Blackwind Island, there was a huge city. It was like a giant beast crawling on the ground. The city wall alone was hundreds of feet high, like a mountain.
Inside the city, magnificent buildings rose from the ground, row upon row. The spacious and clean streets extended in all directions, densely packed with pedestrians.
In the air, there were buildings floating in the air, and rays of light were shuttling back and forth in the air.
This city was Blackwind City, the largest city on Blackwind Island. The teleportation array that connected it to the outside world was also in this city.
The sky was about to brighten, and the entire Blackwind City was already bustling with noise.
Blackwind City was a coastal city. There were many docks outside the city, and ships of all sizes came across the sea. Of course, most of them were mortal ships.
On a coast more than ten miles away from Blackwind City, there was also a unique and spacious dock. It was hundreds of feet long and twenty to thirty feet wide. It was made of white jade, and countless runes were engraved on it, emitting bursts of light.
The white jade dock was much higher than the sea below, as if a giant's arm was stretched out there.
At this moment, the dock was full of people, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.
An inconspicuous young man, who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with slightly dark skin, stood in the crowd.
Mu Xue took a light breath, and her nose was immediately filled with the unique salty smell of the sea breeze. She couldn't help but frown.
Although he had been on Blackwind Island for two years, he still couldn't get used to the smell of the sea breeze.
"Hey, Little Mu, you're early today." A voice came over.
Mu Xue looked up and saw a burly man walking toward them. He had a full beard and a rough face. He looked quite ferocious.
"Big Brother Zhao, you're teasing me again. When have I ever been as early as you?" Mu Xue laughed.
This person's name was Zhao Hu. He looked a little scary, but in fact, he had a good temperament and was easy-going. Just like Mu Xue, he was a rogue cultivator who had come to Black Wind City to make a living. The two of them had a good relationship.
Zhao Hu chuckled, and the two of them stood together and chatted.
"Little Mu, how's the harvest this month?" Zhao Hu lowered his voice and asked.
"Not recently. I haven't received much business these past few days. What about you, Big Brother Zhao?" Mu Xue frowned and shook her head. Her luck had not been good recently.
"I got a big client yesterday and made a small fortune." Zhao Hu's face was a little proud, but he wasn't deliberately showing off.
"Big Brother, you have to work harder these few days and try to gather enough Spirit Stones to buy a bottle of Nascent Transformation Water before the end of the year," Zhao Hu said complacently.
"Congratulations. With Big Brother Zhao's Spiritual Root, with the help of Nascent Transformation Water, you'll definitely be able to condense your Nascent Soul. When the time comes, you'll be able to follow the hunting group out to sea to hunt demonic beasts. You'll be able to earn much faster!" Mu Xue looked envious.
He had just condensed his Gold Core and was still a few steps away from the Nascent Soul stage.
When Zhao Hu heard this, the smile on his face became even wider. He patted Mu Xue's shoulder and said, "Little Mu, you're still young. I'm only a few years older than you. At my age, your achievements will only be higher."
At this moment, a muffled rumble came from the distant horizon.
Mu Xue and Zhao Hu were shocked. They stopped talking and raised their heads to look at the sky.
In the dark blue sky, a few white clouds floated away amidst the roar.
A huge white shadow appeared in the distant sky. It was extremely fast. In a few breaths, it approached them. It was a huge white ship.
The ship was thousands of feet long and hundreds of feet tall. It looked like a mountain floating in the air.
The building on it had twenty to thirty floors. Each floor had countless small squares, which were the windows of the rooms.
The ship slowed down as it approached the ship. Soon, it came to a steady stop in the air.
Rumble!
The Spiritual Inscriptions on the dock suddenly shone, emitting various colors of Spiritual Light. They gathered together and formed a thick beam of light that shot up into the sky and touched the ship in the air.
Countless Spiritual Inscriptions appeared at the bottom of the ship and formed a formation. The light from the beam of light was absorbed by the Spiritual Inscriptions.
The beam of light was like a huge chain that connected the dock on the ground and the ship in the air.
Under the guidance of the light pillar, the giant white ship slowly descended and slowly stopped in front of the White Jade Pier.
This ship was called the Floating Cloud Ship. It was very famous in the Black Wind Sea.
The Black Wind Sea was only a border area. It was only a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Realm of True Celestial. It was even a remote corner of the Northern Frost Celestial Realm.
However, for the cultivators here, the Black Wind Sea was terrifyingly vast.
Even a Perfected Immortal would have to fly for a long time to cross the entire Black Wind Sea.
The islands in the Black Wind Sea were very scattered. There were all kinds of monsters living in the sea. It was very dangerous. Except for some Perfected Immortals, it was very inconvenient for other cultivators to travel between the islands.
The largest trading company on the Black Wind Island saw a business opportunity and spent a lot of money to build this Floating Cloud Ship. It could carry ten thousand people and travel between the east, west, north, and south of the sea.
The Floating Cloud Ship was refined using a special method. It was extremely fast and was far faster than a Perfected Immortal.
This kind of fast and safe transportation tool was very expensive, but it was still very popular among the cultivators of the major islands.
Rumble!
The Floating Cloud Ship glowed with a large white light. Then, it condensed into a long tunnel and projected near the dock.
One cultivator after another flew out of the tunnel and landed on the dock.
Mu Xue and Zhao Hu smiled and immediately went to greet them.
"Senior, are you going to Black Wind City?
I live in the city all year round and know the situation in the city like the back of my hand. If you want to go somewhere or do something, I will definitely be able to help, "Mu Xue said enthusiastically to a black-robed man who had just landed.
That Zhao Hu also greeted the other person and said something similar.
The people beside them were doing the same thing.
The black-robed man ignored Mu Xue and flew straight to Black Wind City in the distance.
Mu Xue was not the least bit discouraged. She immediately greeted the next person with a smile. However, this person ignored her and flew away.
The passengers on the Floating Cloud Ship quickly got off. Soon, more than half of them had left.
However, up until now, no one was willing to hire Mu Xue.
"Yes, yes. Senior, don't worry. I will definitely do this for you." Zhao Hu, who was nearby, had already pulled over a customer.
The person was a Body Integration cultivator. He waved his hand and a blue light wrapped around Zhao Hu's body. He flew toward Black Wind City.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Mu Xue's eyes. Perhaps it was because he was too young and not steady enough, so his business had not been good.
At this moment, a green-robed man floated down from the Floating Cloud Ship. He did not immediately fly toward Black Wind City. Instead, he looked around as if he was enjoying the scenery.
"Senior, is this your first time in Black Wind City?
I won't hide it from you. Black Wind City is too big, and the roads are extremely complicated. Moreover, there are Soul Restraining Restrictions in the city.
If you don't have an acquaintance to guide you, it will be very troublesome to find something.
I was born and raised in Black Wind City. I am very familiar with every part of the city. I will definitely be able to help you. "Mu Xue immediately greeted him.
"Feng Xinzi …" The green-robed man glanced at Mu Xue.
"Yes, yes.
I have been doing this for four or five years. Senior, you only need to pay me five mid-grade spirit stones. "Seeing that there was hope, Mu Xue was instantly overjoyed. She asked for a lower price than usual.
"Alright, it is indeed my first time in Black Wind City. I need someone to lead the way." The green-robed man nodded. With a wave of his hand, he emitted a green light that carried the two of them toward Black Wind City.
"What's your name?" The green-robed man sized up Mu Xue. A strange look seemed to flash in his eyes as he asked.
"My name is Mu Xue," Mu Xue quickly answered honestly.
"Mu Xue?
It sounds like a girl's name. "The green-robed man smiled faintly.
"This name was given by my mother. Senior, please don't laugh at me," Mu Xue scratched her head and said in embarrassment.
"You just said that you were born and raised in Black Wind City. People who grow up by the sea are blown by the sea breeze all year round, causing their skin to turn black. However, there is usually a hint of redness in the black, which is very different from your skin color. Looking at you, you must have grown up in the mountains," the green-robed man said with a faint smile.
Mu Xue's face stiffened. She immediately lowered her head and said, "Senior, you have sharp eyes. I did indeed grow up in a mountain village. I am very sorry for lying just now.
I am an outsider. If I want to make a living as a hyacinth in Black Wind City, I can only make up some lies. "
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter as long as you can lead the way." A trace of reminiscence appeared in the green-robed man's eyes as he waved his hand.
The green-robed man was Han Li. After riding the Floating Cloud Boat for around two months, he finally arrived at Black Wind City.
He looked at the city in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
What a big city! He couldn't see the end of it with his eyesight. The sky above the city was enveloped by a huge formation. When the formation was activated, it emitted an extremely strong spiritual force. It was obviously an extremely powerful formation.
The two of them quickly arrived near Black Wind City. There were dozens of different doors on the city wall, some large and some small.
