<h4>Chapter 1241: Chapter 1238: Tianxing Tower</h4>


    A momentter.


    Xu Wendong, along with Ling Yun and Qing Shi, set foot on Baishi Ind.


    At the instant he stepped on Baishi Ind, the turbulent spiritual energy between heaven and earth instantly became much more obedient.


    The roaring gale also seemed to have disappeared.


    Clearly.


    Baishi Ind has a powerful array; living here allows one to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and be unafraid of those gales.


    The name Baishi Ind originates from the snow-white and jade-like reefs surrounding the ind, hence the name Baishi Ind.


    The ind is home to many strong human race cultivators; even the weakest here are at the Mahayana Peak cultivation level.


    This cultivation level is definitely the top-tier existence within the human race.


    Because of this, many of them have lost their fighting spirit.


    Thus, they enter the Chaotic Star Sea, seeking a life of excitement.


    After all.


    Even stepping into the Mahayana Peak does not guarantee the arrival of a heavenly tribtion.


    Instead of waiting, they might as welle to the Chaotic Star Sea to seek opportunities and live differently.


    Apart from cultivators of Mahayana Peak level, there are many powerful loose immortals and sea demons who can transform into human form.


    These sea demons maintain a friendly and peaceful rtionship with humans.


    "Everyone must pay a hundred top-grade spirit stones tond on the ind, but sea demons are exempt," a middle-aged man blocked Xu Wendong and Ling Yun’s path as they appeared.


    This is the rule of Baishi Ind.


    Xu Wendong immediately paid two hundred top-grade spirit stones, and then, along with Ling Yun and Qing Shi, boarded Baishi Ind.


    There is a city on Baishi Ind, inhabited by many people and sea demons, and the streets are bustling with crowds.


    This gives Xu Wendong and Ling Yun a sense of illusion.


    As if.


    They have entered a prosperous human race city.


    Making one forget that this is the perilous Chaotic Star Sea.


    Of course.


    Various street vendors’ cries are endless, with many merchants on both sides of the street selling cultivation resources.


    For instance, the sea bamboo and blood coral Xu Wendong previously sought are everywhere here and are priced cheaply.


    This made him quite excited.


    If he could encounter the White Jade Pearl, it would truly be a case of seeking something high and low, only to find it effortlessly!


    Regrettably.


    Despite wandering the city for a full two hours, he and Ling Yun were unable to find any White Jade Pearl.


    "Is the White Jade Pearl really that rare?"


    A big question mark arose in Xu Wendong’s heart.


    "Let’s find a tavern to inquire!" Ling Yun suggested.


    Xu Wendong agreed with a nod, and then looked for a high-end tavern, where he ordered several signature dishes upon entering.


    Without exception, all were seafood.


    The prices were not very exorbitant, fortunately.


    "Little brother, may I trouble you to ask if you know where to find the White Jade Pearl?" When the dishes were served, Xu Wendong took out two top-grade spirit stones and handed them to the waiter.


    The waiter, eyes bright with excitement, gratefully epted the spirit stones, saying, "Esteemed guest, you asked the right person."


    "Although I don’t know where the White Jade Pearl is, I know a ce that will surely help you find it."


    Xu Wendong: "Where?"


    "Of course, it’s at Tianxing Tower!" The waiter replied with a smile, "Tianxing Tower is thergest auction house on our Baishi Ind; rare cultivation resources are often auctioned there."


    "Moreover, they have various intelligence."


    "As long as you have money, there’s simply nothing that can’t be solved!"


    Xu Wendong nodded slightly, memorizing Tianxing Tower in his mind.


    However.


    With the day alreadyte, he nned to visit Tianxing Tower the next day.


    Thus.


    Xu Wendong and Ling Yun savored their first dinner in the Western Sea; the dishes here had surprising vors, highlighting the freshness of the ingredients.


    After the meal, Xu Wendong reserved two superior rooms.


    One for Qing Shi, and the other for him and Ling Yun to share.


    The rooms were spacious, each equipped with a wooden tub for bathing.


    This greatly pleased Ling Yun.


    After all, she was previously the Empress of Frostflower Kingdom and most liked bathing, but after entering the Western Sea, she hadn’t bathed.


    Fortunately, the tub wasrge enough tofortably allow her and Xu Wendong to enjoy a bath together.


    The next day.


    Xu Wendong arrived at Tianxing Tower.


    It was an imposing building with nineyers, constructed from the white stone of the coast, which glowed brightly at night.


    Business at Tianxing Tower was brisk; even in the early morning, many cultivators wereing and going.


    Upon entering, Xu Wendong saw a row of reception windows and approached one to inquire, "Hello, I’d like to find out about the whereabouts of the White Jade Pearl."


    The staff smiled, "Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones."


    Xu Wendong’s eyes widened, "How much?"


    The staff repeated, "Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones."


    Xu Wendong swallowed instinctively, internally generating massive waves of shock that couldn’t calm for a long time.


    He expected that finding out the whereabouts of the White Jade Pearl would cost at most a few hundred top-grade spirit stones, a sum he could afford.


    But.


    He never dreamed that the whereabouts of the White Jade Pearl would be valued at ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.


    Truth be told.


    He simply didn’t have that much money right now!


    He only had a little over a thousand top-grade spirit stones left.


    After pondering for a moment, Xu Wendong asked again, "Please tell me, what is the fastest way to earn money on Baishi Ind?"


    "I mean, how can someone quickly obtain ten thousand top-grade spirit stones?"


    The staff replied, "That will be one thousand top-grade spirit stones."


    Xu Wendong almost coughed up blood.


    Tianxing Tower was too greedy.


    Greedy enough to stifle one.


    Despite this, he reluctantly took out a thousand top-grade spirit stones and handed them over.


    "There are two tasks that can quickly earn you ten thousand top-grade spirit stones."


    "First, go to the Abyss to search for the Eternal Flower, which can reward you with twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones."


    "However, with only your Mahayana Peak cultivation level, you can’t dive into the Abyss with your current cultivation."


    "Aside from that task, you can also be an honored contributor to the Lei n by helping them to refine elixirs."


    "If you be an honored contributor to the Lei n, your annual stipend will be ten thousand top-grade spirit stones."


    Baishi Ind is home to many humans.


    It also has threerge cultivator families, of which the Lei n is one.


    "I’ll choose the second option!"


    Xu Wendong had heard from Qing Shi that the Abyss is a fathomless trench in the Chaotic Star Sea, inhabited by strong sea demons.


    Not only do humans typically avoid it, but even powerful sea demons are wary of entering.


    For this reason, he decided on the second task.


    The staff gave Xu Wendong a jade token, saying, "Take this token to the Lei n, and they will have someone assess your strength."


    "If your strength satisfies them, they will naturally grant you the honored contributor position."


    Xu Wendong epted the jade token, inquired about the Lei n’s location, and left Tianxing Tower, heading straight to the Lei n!


    The honored contributor position was within his grasp!
