Chapter 362 The City of Sethisia

"Dear guest, our tribe has its own rules for trading with Shenzhou merchants. You must choose a kind of strange stone and medicine before we can take out the next item." The other leader said carefully.

"Okay, you are careful enough. Only these three are meteorites, and this one is the [Five Elements Stone] and has value. The others are ordinary stones. These four strange stones can't be exchanged for much." Hua Kai said and gestured to Xue Chen.

Xue Chen took out a large pile of cloth, weapons below the third grade, tea, white sugar, salt, grain and even porcelain.

Hua Kai put away the four strange stones, and the tribal leader asked people to take down the other stones. He couldn't take his eyes off the goods Xue Chen took out.

"Can I exchange these four strange stones for a piece of this cloth, five weapons, and some tea?" The leader looked at Hua Kai and pointed to a piece of coarse cloth and a pile of weapons.

"I'll give you two pieces of coarse cloth, and you can only choose weapons below the third grade, and you will give you 5 kilograms of white sugar." Hua Kai said and Xue Chen began to put these things on the other side's table.

"Thank you, my dear guest. You are really generous merchants." The leader called the members of the tribe outside the gate and asked them to take down all the goods. After about five minutes, one of them came in with a stone box.

They were very careful in the transaction. Hua Kai estimated that they hid all the things. After all, if he and Xue Chen finished the transaction and then snatched these things, they would have no way.

In the stone box was an eighth-grade spiritual medicine that had been stored for a long time. Hua Kai saw that the efficacy of the medicine was almost lost, so he only gave the other party five third-grade weapons, one fourth-grade weapon, and ten kilograms of tea. The tribal leader was very satisfied.

Hua Kai found that they were not interested in food and salt. It turned out that their tribe could often find some food in the wild. They could go to nearby tribes to exchange salt. There was no need to waste precious trading opportunities on these ordinary things.

What they needed was something that could enhance the strength of the tribe, such as this tough wooden weapon, which was much more powerful than the wooden guns and stone tools they usually used. They also liked beautiful ceramics.

The other party took out six items one by one. When Hua Kai was about to continue the transaction, the leader said that their tribe's medicine and strange stones were gone.

Hua Kai and Xue Chen did not stay any longer. They followed the instructions of the other witch and went to the next tribe. These tribes were far apart. Hua Kai spent a month to find more than 20 tribes in the east to trade with them. A total of 65 high-quality spiritual medicines were obtained, most of which were 8th-grade spiritual medicines, and there were a few 9th-grade spiritual medicines. There was not a single spiritual treasure-level medicine like [Daffodil]. These tribes used this kind of medicine to cultivate witches and would not exchange it with Hua Kai.

Entering mid-December, the weather became colder and colder. Hua Kai and Xue Chen drove nearly 10,000 miles west and finally came to a city-Ecbatana City.

The population of the resting place began to increase as they went west. Tribes could be seen every 100 miles near Ecbatana City.

Hua Kai actually saw some people wearing metal armor and holding metal weapons here. He checked that these metals were mined and refined by some large tribes.

The hardness of these metals is much worse than the gold and silver refined from animal bones. Hua Kai injected true qi into these weapons, and these weapons were quickly corroded and finally disappeared into the air. Hua Kai couldn't help but wonder what caused the difference between the two places to be so big. The spiritual energy made the East Land a hundred times more prosperous than here, but also because of the spiritual energy, the metals of the East Land can only circulate among the noble families, and ordinary people can only use spiritual wood tools and weapons.

When they arrived at Ecbatana City, Hua Kai and Xue Chen were warmly received by the other city lord. Hua Kai saw that the other city lord was also in the Xiantian realm. Without using true qi, Xue Chen might not be the opponent of the other party.

The lord of Ecbatana City told Hua Kai that six merchants came to their city two years ago, one was in the foundation building realm and five were in the Xiantian realm. According to the other party's introduction of accents and habits, the people who came to Ecbatana City two years ago should be Qin people. It is said that there were more than ten people when they set out, and only six successfully reached the resting place. It is unknown how many people can return safely in the end.

Despite this, Hua Kai collected hundreds of spiritual medicines and more than 2,000 strange stones in Ecbatana City. The six people did not bring much with them to Ecbatana City. They only selected some of the spiritual medicines in their city, and they only selected a few strange stones, so Hua Kai was able to exchange all these things back.

After staying in Ecbatana City for more than half a month, the winter environment of the Death Desert is much harsher than the spring and autumn seasons, so Hua Kai plans to continue traveling west. In the past month, he has exchanged nearly 200 spiritual medicines above the eighth grade, more than 3,000 strange stones, and more than ten kinds of spiritual pill recipes in the space have been ignited. Most of these spiritual pills are spiritual medicines for tempering the body, nourishing the soul, improving willpower, and repairing mental trauma. They are basically for foundation building and golden elixir realms.

Hua Kai is very satisfied with this harvest, and it is insignificant when it comes to their efforts.

More than ten pieces of silk brocade, more than two hundred pieces of fine cloth, one thousand pieces of coarse cloth, about ten stones of white sugar, more than one thousand low-level weapons, more than three hundred kilograms of tea, and some porcelain, with a total value of less than one thousand gold. Any eighth-grade spiritual medicine in the East is more valuable than these.

After leaving Ecbatana City, Hua Kai and Xue Chen continued to travel east. There were few horses in the Resting Land, and the best horses could only reach the level of Donghu horses at most. Hua Kai and Xue Chen rode the divine horses all the way west at a high speed. The passing indigenous residents regarded them as gods when they saw them.

If Hua Kai did not have a large amount of [spiritual liquid], they would not be able to run in the Resting Land even with the divine horses. Ten days later, they completed transactions with more than ten tribes and finally came to the largest city in the Resting Land - Selusia.

Selusia is the westernmost city in the Resting Land and the largest city here.

When Hua Kai arrived here, he saw that most of the people here lived by the sea. To the west was a strait more than ten miles wide. People could be seen walking on the other side of the strait, but the locals knew that there were countless powerful creatures living in the strait, some of which could even reach hundreds of feet long, and some gods were no match for them.

But some people secretly took a boat to the other side of the strait. There was a very small probability that the sea monsters would not attack them, but as long as they were totem warriors, they would generally be attacked by sea monsters as long as they were close to the shore. The merchants of Donghu Shenzhou were at their limit here.

Hua Kai and Xue Chen entered the city of Selusia. This city had a population of more than 30,000, and there were a few slaves working for the city lord here. Hua Kai was invited by the other city lord to his city lord's mansion. Although the buildings here were not tall, they were also very exquisite and had a special exotic style.

Hua Kai explained his purpose and the other city lord was very happy. They arranged for Hua Kai and Xue Chen to stay and asked them how much goods they brought this time. Hua Kai took out a list of goods listed on [Hua's paper] and asked Xue Chen to read it to him, but the other party didn't believe it.

For hundreds of years, merchants from the Eastern Land of God have visited Cetixia every few years. Sometimes, there are more than ten of them, but they only bring silk, brick tea, sugar, etc.

"Master, the other party may have evil intentions. The city lord has reached the late Xiantian realm. As the largest force in the Resting Land, Cetixia may have many Xiantian realm masters. Moreover, there must be many gods in such a large city, and there may be some Jindan realm masters." Xue Chen waited for the other party's personnel to go down and said to Hua Kai.

"The fact that Selusia City can be built on the seashore is enough to show the hidden strength of the other party. The two of us should not separate easily. When encountering danger, we should enter the [Family Space] in time to avoid it. Even if they have the Jindan Realm, it is unlikely that they dare to confront us head-on.

The masters above the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Resting Land survive in the way of gods. That is because their physique is too weak here and they cannot withstand the strong willpower. Every time their true body appears, they have to pay a great price. It depends on how the city lord chooses."

Hua Kai did not think of looting and robbing when he was doing business in the Resting Land. On the one hand, he did not want to provoke karma, and on the other hand, he had no shortage of goods. This time he traded fairly with them. If there is another opportunity in the future, he can also exchange spiritual medicine and strange stones from here.

For three consecutive days, Hua Kai did not wait for the news from the Lord of Selusia. The transaction mentioned by the other party was delayed, and Hua Kai and Xue Chen were also euphemistically blocked from leaving. Seeing this, Hua Kai was not in a hurry. The Xiantian Realm without true qi is still different from the Xiantian Realm with true qi. He wanted to try the fighting method of the Xiantian Realm in the Resting Land.

Late at night that day, Hua Kai heard the alert neighing of the [Di Lu Ma] coming out of the stable, and then there was a fight. Hua Kai and Xue Chen ran out of the house and saw four people besieging [Di Lu Ma], and another person was entangled with Xue Chen's divine horse.

[Di Lu Ma] is already a sixth-level strength, the same level as the Xiantian realm. The green fodder it eats and the [spiritual liquid] it drinks can ensure that its spiritual energy always maintains more than half of its true energy. The four Xiantian realms besieged [Di Lu Ma], and Di Lu Ma used true energy to dodge and counterattack, and the opponent couldn't take it down for a while.

After seeing this, Hua Kai hurried to support it. He took out the dragon gall spear and killed the nearest enemy. The opponent had no true energy and used a sharp broadsword to fight, but his broadsword instantly had a gap after touching the [Dragon Gall Spear], and the gap became larger and larger as time went on.

Hua Kai's weapon had an overwhelming advantage. He used the fourth level of [Ice Power] to injure an enemy, and then quickly pierced the enemy's chest without waiting for the support of the other enemy. Regardless of the outcome, he chased after the others around him.

The enemy stabbed by Hua Kai had his face instantly covered with frost. He felt a strong breath in his body destroying his body. He vomited blood, but he had no way to deal with the corrosion of his true energy. He slowly resisted less and less, and lay on the ground and began to move.

Hua Kai caught up with the two sneak attackers and killed one of them with a few moves. At this time, Xue Chen had already seriously injured the other one. Hua Kai entangled one person and did not intend to let him escape. The last remaining enemy began to kill Xue Chen. He was the only one of the five sneak attackers in the late Xiantian realm. Hua Kai also saw that he was the Lord of Selusia.
