Chapter 2044 Front Station
"Is this the Inhumans' territory?"
Qin Sang pointed to the sea of fog.
Judging from its location, it is located in the northeast of Kanzhou, and right next to Kanzhou.
Elder You looked over and said hurriedly, "That's right! The alien race looks similar to humans, but they stay in the sea of fog all year round. They are very aloof and don't get close to humans or monsters. I have never been to the sea of fog, and the map only roughly marks the location, so it can't be used as a guide."
Qin Sang suddenly realized, "The alien race is so mysterious, has Elder You never come into contact with it? I have heard about it elsewhere. Some people believe that the alien race is actually a group of half-demons that rose to power by chance."
"Half-demons are half-demons, and aliens are aliens. They cannot be confused. Half-demons and aliens exist in Kanzhou. I have come into contact with both. If you have ever seen one, you will know that half-demons cannot be compared with aliens."
Elder You shook his head, looking down on half-demons. "Half-demons are hybrids of human and demon bloodlines. There are indeed some who have the advantages of both races, but most of them are the opposite, inheriting the shortcomings of both races. Not only are they ugly in appearance, but the conflict between their bloodlines is difficult to regulate, which can easily lead to various congenital deficiencies. The more chaotic the ancestral bloodline, the worse it is. The alien race is like us humans. They are educated at a young age and know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. They are not as brutal as demons, and some of their etiquette is even more particular than us. Even if they are captured and become servants, no one looks down on them."
"servant?"
Qin Sang was thoughtful.
Elder You nodded and laughed, "Just like capturing monsters and selling them as spirit beasts, there are also brave people who capture aliens as slaves. The servants of aliens are in great demand in Kanzhou. They are good at looking after caves and handling mundane affairs, and it is also a matter of great face in front of customers. Some aliens are born with special magical powers. After being subdued, they are more useful than spirit beasts. The top tribes are even more valuable. For example, the feathered royal family, who are said to be descendants of the gods, are difficult to exchange even for spiritual treasures."
As expected, slave trade is inevitable in such a place where different ethnic groups meet.
Since the human race can capture the demon race and the alien race, the other race can naturally also enslave the human race. In their eyes, human cultivators are also full of treasures.
You come and I go, and the hatred grows deeper and deeper.
Qin Sang originally thought that if the fog sea was far away from Kanzhou, the aliens and humans would not interfere with each other, and there would be no hatred between the two sides, then the troubles in the Storm Realm would be much easier to solve. But once the two races formed a blood feud, he would be powerless.
Seeing Qin Sang remained silent and looked at the sea of fog, he seemed quite interested. Elder You misunderstood and said, "Only a very few cultivators in Kanzhou can be followed by the alien race. At least now there is no market openly selling alien races. In fact, if cultivators capture the descendants of powerful monster tribes, they usually trade privately and will not auction them publicly in the state. If Elder Qin wants to buy servants, there are more opportunities in Lanshazhou."
The Blue Sand State refers to the vast sea area east of Wumian City. It is not one of the eight heavenly states, but is named after Kan State.
According to Elder You, there are countless forces in Lansha Province, a mixture of different races, and many powerful people, and the situation is complicated.
Qin Sang nodded secretly, knowing that this should be a rule set by the upper echelons of Kanzhou, so as not to irritate the nerves of the alien and demon tribes, and to maintain apparent peace.
Lanshazhou is a gray area tacitly agreed upon by all ethnic groups, serving as a buffer zone for conflicts.
This also shows that Elder You was indeed drawing randomly. Kanzhou and the Fog Sea should be quite far apart. Otherwise, they are too close, and both sides are confined to a small area. Fighting for cultivation resources is related to the path and the rise and fall, and war and killing are inevitable. The slave trade will also flourish, and it is not something that can be restricted just because you want to.
To go to the Fog Sea, one must first understand the Inhumans and find a safe passage to the Fog Sea, all of which can be found in Blue Sand State.
"The sea of fog is peculiar, so it must have produced some unique treasures. Our human territory also has treasures that the alien race needs. Is there no communication between our alliance and the alien race?"
If possible, Qin Sang would rather start with the Five Elements Alliance and contact the aliens who are on good terms with the Five Elements Alliance. With the foundation laid over the years, it would be easier to deal with them, and then use this to explore the inner workings of the alien race.
Elder You said in a gleaming tone, "It is said that the alien tribe will have caravans coming here every once in a while, but they will only come into contact with forces they recognize. Our branch has not yet left Kanzhou, so we have sent people to Lanshazhou to purchase these precious materials. If Elder Qin needs them, you can send the deacons in the alliance to look for them."
Qin Sang understood, knowing that this trading channel was one of the foundations of the Five Elements Alliance, and that it might involve many secrets. He was just a guest in the alliance, and the Five Elements Alliance would not tell him about these things unless he really joined them.
He knew what to do and stopped asking, saying, "To be honest with you, Elder You, I am indeed looking for spiritual materials to refine a treasure, and I am still lacking several kinds."
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip without hesitation and handed it to Elder You.
Elder You took it and looked at it, raised his eyebrows and said, "The treasure that Elder Qin wants to refine must be extraordinary!"
As an elder of the Five Elements Alliance, he was also well versed in the art of refining and could see the clues just by looking at the spiritual materials.
Qin Sang was not afraid of being seen through by the other party. The names on the jade slip were all carefully selected by him, and even the master of weapon refining could not figure it out.
From the Bihen Yuanjing in the Bikong Cave to the deal with the Qionghu forces, Qin Sang approached the Five Elements Alliance in Liancheng before leaving. Qin Sang tried every possible way, spending his wealth accumulated over the years like water without any regrets, and had already collected most of the key spiritual materials needed for the Thunder Altar.
Next, with the help of the Five Elements Alliance of Kanzhou and a trip to Lanshazhou, it should not be difficult to gather all the information.
What remains are some spiritual materials that are consumed in large quantities when building the altar. They are relatively common and should not be difficult to purchase. In order to conceal the truth, Lanshazhou is undoubtedly the best choice.
It seems that I must go to Lanshazhou as soon as possible to gather all the spiritual materials of the Thunder Altar before I can set off. Qin Sang thought of this and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Elder You. I wonder if our alliance has any treasures?"
Elder You stroked his chin and thought, "Among these, the Misty Wind and the Golden Grass Seeds seem to be treasured in the alliance's treasury. As for the other items, I can only try my best to collect information for Elder Qin. However, these two items may have already been promised to their owners. I cannot make a decision on my own and must report to my superiors. Moreover, the value of these spiritual materials..."
"Thank you, Elder You!"
Qin Sang stood up and bowed solemnly. "For all spiritual materials, I will try my best to get the money in exchange for the goods. I am a wealthy man, so even if I empty my savings, I think I can sell my little skills for some money."
Elder You smiled and said, "Elder Qin, you are too kind. A weapon master is respected everywhere. I am sure many people would like to ask you to do them a favor. Elder Qin, please wait for a while. I will make the arrangements right away."
As he said this, Elder You called the maid to choose a cave in the alliance for Qin Sang to rest.
Qin Sang politely declined, left the Five Elements Alliance, visited some other places to broaden his horizons, and then returned to the cave.
Su Nu and Gu Ya had returned from shopping and were waiting for Qin Sang in the lobby. They had bought a lot of new and interesting things and were playing with them.
Seeing Qin Sang coming back, Gu Ya hurriedly put down the magic weapon carved from spiritual shells in her hand and stood up to greet him.
Qin Sang listened to them talking about what they had seen and heard in the city, and asked Gu Ya, "Have you seen any aliens?"
Gu Ya was startled and could not help but glance at Su Nu. She knew that the matter in Storm Realm was of great importance, so she had been keeping her mouth shut in front of Su Nu.
"No," Gu Ya whispered. She didn't understand Qin Sang's intention and didn't dare to say anything more.
"You go down first. I have something important to discuss with fellow Taoist Su Nu," Qin Sang said.
Gu Ya responded with a “yes” and bowed before leaving.
Su Nu watched with a smile, and when Gu Ya left, she joked, "I wonder if Brother Qin has any secrets that he is going to reveal to me?"
"It is a big secret, and it is a matter of great importance. Don't blame me for being nosy. You must swear an oath first to keep your mouth shut even in front of your master before I can tell you."
Qin Sang said solemnly.
Seeing Qin Sang's serious face, Su Nu put away her relaxed expression and said in a deep voice, "But is it related to Brother Qin's safety? If so, it's better for me not to know."
"It is indeed related to our safety, but it is also related to where we are going next. Unless you stay in Kanzhou, I will definitely not be able to hide it from you when we get there," Qin Sang said.
Hearing this, Su Nu couldn't help but feel curious, and she immediately made a causal vow that she would never reveal it.
Watching Su Nu swearing a vow, Qin Sang said softly, "This story begins when you and the Seven Killing Palace broke through the realm and ascended. Since then, the Storm Realm has become increasingly unusual..."
In the quiet lobby, Qin Sang slowly recounted some of his experiences, combined with the information he got from Gu Ya, selected the content that could be revealed, and told Su Nu.
When Su Nu heard this, she was shocked even though there were other causes and consequences behind her.
"The Storm Realm will enter the universe!"
Su Nu's eyes widened, even the Lord and General Bai were unaware of this.
With her intelligence, she saw through all of Gu Ya's words and actions, and considering Qin Sang was so cautious just now, she had some vague guesses.
But she only dared to suspect that Qin Sang had found the landmark door to the Storm Realm, and she never expected that the Storm Realm would ascend as a whole!
"Can the Small Thousand Worlds be integrated into the Great Thousand Worlds, causing them to expand? Or is the Storm World originally a part of the Great Thousand Worlds?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nu's reaction was similar to Qin Sang's.
The reason for this association is that the Storm Realm is too extraordinary, otherwise how could it be chosen by the Ziwei Palace?
Now she could understand why Qin Sang was so cautious. Once the news leaked out, countless people would come to look for the lost treasure of Ziwei Palace.
"I have thought so too, but the affairs of the realm are beyond our comprehension," Qin Sang shook his head slightly, "and the situation of the Storm Realm is unclear now. It has fallen into the sea of fog for hundreds of years and is surrounded by alien races. It is still unknown whether it can be preserved. There is no point in thinking too much."
Su Nu quickly calmed down, "Brother Qin is right. Before the Storm Realm ascended, the late Nascent Soul was already a top powerhouse. How could they resist the powerful tribes in the Great Thousand World? We must find them first before we can talk about the future. So, Brother Qin plans to open a dojo in the Storm Realm and collect these spiritual materials in order to refine treasures to protect the dojo?"
Qin Sang nodded, "Yes, I will go and see it myself. If you don't intend to go back, you can also help me by staying in Kanzhou."
Su Nu smiled sweetly, "Brother Qin, do you think I am a person who fears hardships? Oh..."
She suddenly understood what Qin Sang meant. "Thank you, Brother Qin, for considering me! The masterminds who controlled me back then have all died in the Seven Killing Palace, the three major business alliances have been wiped out, and the remaining enemies, I will find them one by one after I have achieved success in my cultivation. Brother Qin saved my life, and the Four Saints Palace treated me well. I can still remember all the good things. How can I have any resentment towards the Storm Realm? Since I am a cultivator in the Storm Realm, I should go there for no other reason than this cause and effect."
After hearing what Su Nu said, Qin Sang felt relieved and nodded, "You are right. Even if the Storm Realm cannot defeat the alien race, as long as they are not completely slaughtered, there are still incense left. Since we are from the same realm, you and I have the responsibility to bring them out."
After all, there are only a handful of immortal cultivators who can sever their ties with love. Even if Qin Sang has always been a hands-off boss, he cannot sit idly by if Qingyang Palace is in trouble.
"Brother Qin's dojo, I will ask for a place no matter what!" Su Nu smiled playfully, and then pondered, "After determining the location of the Storm Realm, there is still a difficult problem. The Fog Sea is occupied by the Inhumans. If they don't allow us humans to enter, we have to find a way to disguise ourselves."
"You can go to Lanshazhou to find out about these things."
Qin Sang already had a plan in mind, and since Su Nu agreed to go with him, he told her.
"Unlike other places in Tianzhou, the Immortal City on the border of Kanzhou also has a large teleportation array. Next, you go to Wumian City. I think it won't take long to arrive. First, set up a base in Wumian City. Maybe it will be useful in the future. At the same time, find out the situation in Lanshazhou and try to contact the forces in Lanshazhou..."
Su Nu heard the hidden meaning, "Brother Qin won't go with us?"
"The spiritual materials have not been gathered yet, and we still need the help of the Five Elements Alliance. However, the treasures are not so easy to get, and I might have to be sent around for a while. It's not a bad thing though. Kanzhou and Lanshazhou must have a thousand connections. With you and me, one outside and one inside, I believe we'll have some clues soon," Qin Sang said confidently.
Su Nu was thoughtful and careful, so these things could be entrusted to her without any worries. With her help, Qin Sang felt much more relaxed.
The two discussed for a long time in the main hall. Qin Sang told them his plan and Su Nu made some additions. Then they each did their job in order to complete the preparations as soon as possible.
Qin Sang triggered the restriction again and called Gu Ya over, telling her that Su Nu was also a senior who ascended from the Storm Realm.
Gu Ya was surprised and happy. She had always been a little wary of Su Nu, but now that she knew they were from the same lower world, her wariness disappeared and they felt much closer to each other.
Qin Sang originally wanted to wake up the sword slave as well. After all, the situation in Lansha Province was unclear, and the more helpers the better.
Su Nu tried to stop him, "Let him stay. Brother Qin has to deal with the Five Elements Alliance, so he should have someone around to listen to him. He can't do everything himself, or he will lose face in front of his peers."
Qin Sang thought about it and said yes.
Without further ado, Su Nu and Gu Ya stayed for another three days and then set off.
After seeing the two girls off, Qin Sang waited until the appointed time and came to the Five Elements Alliance again to visit Elder You.
