Ning Xian said: ”I also only heard that until now, no one knows what the body of Tripterygium wilfordii is made up of. All I know is that they can survive in any water, whether it's the blue water or the River Styx's Weak Water, they can also survive in boiling water, and they can survive in ice dots below blue water -78.”

Damn, this blue water's freezing point is actually -78 degrees Celsius. But after hearing so many magical things, there aren't that many.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous scenery clothes walked over. Upon seeing the three of us, he excitedly walked over and grabbed my hand. ”The honored guests that my daughter mentioned were you all who brought the Tripterygium wilfordii here, right?”

I nodded, and the man said excitedly: ”I am Haixin City's City Lord, Ning Tieyun, and am glad to meet you all.”

Hearing that it was the City Lord, I carefully sized him up. He looked very ordinary. If it wasn't for his gorgeous clothes, he would have been drowned out by the crowd.

He made a gesture of invitation, and I returned the gesture. After all, basic courtesy is necessary.

He brought us along as he walked, talking about the local customs and practices of the Haixin City. We also told each other their names, he just called us Uncle Ning, and Ning Xian also obediently followed by his father's side.

Ning Tieshan said, ”Spirit Little Friend, you all still don't understand my Haixin City, right? I'll introduce them to you guys one by one, first take a look at the left side, that's our market, just like yours, there are all kinds of pharmacies and shops. Since we don't have Outsider like you, we are all warriors that live there. However, there are some differences. The weapons here are much thicker than the ones you guys use, and the strength of the warriors here is much stronger than ordinary people. ”

He pointed to the right side of the road and said, ”That is our residential area. Most of the people here are fishermen and merchants. As we live close to the sea, most of the residents here are fishermen and some are merchants.”

Along the way, Ning Tieyun introduced the local customs and practices of the Haixin City and arrived at a slope.

I took the opportunity to ask, ”Why is there no street light in Uncle Ning? Isn't it supposed to be very dark at night like this?”

Ning Tieyun laughed and said: ”This is a custom here, we do not need any street lights, just wait here and we will see.”

We didn't ask any further. Since they said it was a custom, I couldn't say much. I just continued to follow them.

There was a mountain on this island, and the palace was located on top of it. It could be said to be halfway up the mountain, because when I first arrived, I looked up and saw that it could be said to be a flat section of the mountain.

Suddenly, he felt that there were specks of starlight rising from below him. Looking back, he could see that each of the lights were similar to those of a bright star, but the difference was that these lights did not light up, but emitted their own light. They were shaped like five-pointed stars.

I didn't expect to actually catch it. Holding it in my hand, Shui Xinyue leaned over and Xue'er followed Shui Xinyue's example and laid down beside me like Yi Yi. I slowly opened up my palm and could clearly see that it was a shining star, no different from the pentagram we drew in our childhood.

It slowly rose from my hand and flew higher. When we saw this scene magically, Ning Tieyun let out a happy laugh and said, ”This is the street light of our Haixin City, the light that illuminates the night sky for us every night.”

I stared blankly at the fairy-tale sky and said, ”Where did these stars come from?”

This time, Ning Xian was the one to answer: ”These stars are called Floating starfish s. They live in the water during the day, and would live in a place with Starfish Rice. A Starfish Rice is enough for a person to eat for a week. They are able to absorb blue water s and merge with themselves just enough for them to sink into the shallow beach in Blue Sea. As the blue water s are vaporized by the sun, the gas they produce is much heavier than the air, so the gas in the Blue Sea's surface is all this gas, and there is a lot of oxygen in the gas, so we are able to survive, and it is not easy to move, so even if we ride on the locomotives, we can still talk as we would normally would have done. ”

”At night, the Floating starfish will fade away and absorb the blue water. This way, they will emit light, and since the density of the Floating starfish is not as dense as this layer of gas, they will float up, just like a hydrogen balloon. When we fly out and come in contact with the air, it would stop and light up our entire Haixin City. ”

We miraculously looked at the stars floating in the sky, and indeed stopped at a height visible to the naked eye. The palace at the top of the mountain even seemed to be able to touch those stars.

Ning Xian continued to speak, ”And this layer of gaseous substance we call floating light. It will disappear around midnight and all return to the Blue Sea, and then these Floating starfish would return to the ocean, waiting for the next day's dawn to sink back into the sea. If they accidentally fell onto the island, the citizens would return them back to the sea. This means that moving in the water should be even more difficult than moving in the water, but the truth is that we can move as easily as moving in the air. This is because it will form a protective layer on the surface of the living body that we are unable to understand right now, protecting us from moving freely in the water. ”

I raised my head to look at the stars in the sky. ”What a magical place,” I said in amazement.
