Chapter 49 - Voyager Harbour (1/2)
Nightin left the village as he continued his journey due North towards the Moss forest. The village might have only been a short part of his life,yet it will bring him memories which will be etched in his mind for life.
After leaving the village,the next route would be a long voyage which will take up to three days by ship. After careful consideration and studying of the various routes with the help of the map, he came to a final conclusion.
After about two hours of travelling,Nightin finally arrived at the Voyager harbour. The Voyager harbour was renowned for having the best ships in the world. Even in the upper realm,they were a force not to be reckoned with. The Voyager harbour alone had seven Martial Saints in control of it alongside countless forces who rely on them for travelling.
In the cultivation world, there's this saying that everyone cultivator would have heard about ”If you still need the seas and oceans,don't ever offend the Voyagers.” If you offend the Voyagers, it meant that you'll be blacklisted by them and won't be allowed to travel by sea anymore.
The sun was ending its shift for the day as it left its post gradually while the full moon slowly rose from its deep slumber as it hung in the night sky, behind the clouds among the dazzling stars. Even though the stars tried to compare their gleam to the moon, it was all a futile effort.
Nightin walked into the Voyager Harbour as he walked into the open streets. On the streets were many food stalls which were selling a diverse variety of seafood.
Some stalls were selling grilled fish while some while putting up baked fish and other cooking methods of fishes. Other seafoods were being sold as well such as calms and snails.
”One baked fish for two spirit stones! Three baked fishes for five spirit stones!”
”One steamed fish for one spirit stone! Five steamed fishes for three spirit stones!”
Many vendors were fighting with each other to garner customers for profit. Besides food,there were things such as accessories and equipments as well.
Simple accessories such as pearl necklaces, simple rings made of seashells and a string with many other ones. As for the clothing, they were made with the skin of the sea beasts.
Nightin stood on the spot and pondered for a short moment before entering the marketplace, he still had about three thousand spirit stones left with him after killing the evil cultivator that time.
At the center district of the Voyager district was a tall tower which was made up of gold which has been purified and refined for up to four times. Even the full attack of a Martial King won't be able to leave a scratch on it.
The tower stood out in the center district and was divided into four layers, from lowest to highest respectively. The higher the layer is, the smaller the area it occupies.
Nightin walked up to the entrance and entered the tower. The first floor of the tower was the largest in side with the most items displayed. All the items here on the first floor are targeted towards Martial Masters. This further shows how insignificant a Martial Apprentice is in the true cultivation world.
Walking up the stairs,he climbed to the third floor where the items for Martial Lords are displayed. The items here are all priced around a thousand spirit as the base price which is many times more compared to the costs below. In terms of quality however, the offers here are of a much better deal.
Nightin strolled around the third floor of the tower as he scanned through the various treasures and elixirs here. While doing do, he made sure to pay attention to the amount of spirit stones needed for each of them. It would be a disgrace if he attempted to buy something beyond his financial means.
At this moment, a certain location on the third floor caught his attention. The ”Stone of Luck” gambling station.
A man in his senior age was lying down on a blue and white striped rest chair at the counter over there. He had well combed brown overhead hair and a muscular body. With a pair of black rectangular spectacle frames, it gave him a feeling of elegance filled with attractiveness.
Nightin walked up to him slowly and inquired ”I'm sorry to bother you, but may I know the payment method to participate for once at this station?”
The man lazily pointed to a minimized formation array at the side before he closed his eyes to continue resting.
Nightin took out two thousand spirit stones from his spatial ring and transferred them over to the Voyager bank in exchange for one attempt.
The counter man stretch his arms and legs before standing up slowly and pulling the board open. Based on what the data had shown,out of the thousand check pieces here,only three of them were filled with rewards.
