574 An encounter on Culumus Star (2/2)

When the transmission ended and the green light from the Transmitting Formation disappeared, Zhou Bao saw two pairs of eyes staring back at him.

When he was about to leave, one of the two stopped him and said, ”Eh, well, five Spiritual Stones for one transmission!”

Zhou Bao smiled, handed out five Spiritual Stones and then left.

Spiritual Stones were regarded as Mysterious Objects in the Seven-deity Regions, because they contained strong spiritual qi and pneuma. With spiritual stones, practitioners were able to practice even in a place without any pneuma. This was a secret in the Seven-deity Regions, but common sense in the Infinite Star Sea.

Since the two star areas had vast territory and abundant resources, spiritual stones were also used as currency.

In the beginning, Zhou Bao did not have any spiritual stones. However, since he controlled the Azure Big World, where spiritual stone mines were not rare and few people would bother to exploit them, it was quite easy for him to get spiritual stones.

Of course, he learned all this from the Void Map.

Within the map, there were many spots which were marked as production locations for spiritual stones. Though, many also had a note saying that they were depleted.

”After all, human beings and intelligent living creatures are greedy. Their development is based on pillage. But when they plunder everything and there is nothing more, all that is left is extinction!” Zhou Bao thought cynically, walking on a broad street.

The Cumulus Star had broad streets, many big cities and countless common people. Its pneuma level was almost the same as that of the Seven-deity Regions. There was nothing special in terms of architectural styles and languages. This had revealed that this planet, even the two star areas, shared the same origin with the Seven-deity Regions.

At this moment, Zhou Bao was wandering in one of the biggest cities of the Cumulus Star, the Five Rivers City.

The name was given because of the five big rivers that joined here.

Five Rivers City was the second largest city in the Cumulus Star and also its trade center. The core of this city was the transmission pavilion which controlled various transmissions.

There were different kinds of Transmitting Formations within the pavilion, where transmission took place every second. Some transmitted people while some transmitted goods. People from every corner of the Infinite Star Sea had come here to do business. Zhou Bao felt as if he had entered a huge, and noisy, commodity market.

He had seen many practitioners along the way who were practitioners under the Mysterious Realm, but most of them were common people.

In the Five Rivers City, most of its population were common people. There were at best one or two Individual Immortals to settle disputes. After all, the main job of practitioners was practicing. They should not get involved in the petty squabbles of merchants.

”It's the same as markets in the Seven-deity Regions. There's nothing special except that people are also selling celestial devices. Eh——, what a coincidence!!” Just as Zhou Bao was whispering to himself, a strange smile suddenly went across his face, as if he had discovered a new continent.
