At this time, the sky was already bright. All kinds of small merchants and peddlers flooded the streets, displaying a dazzling array of goods. There was food and drink, as well as old weapons and firearms. Compared to other dilapidated cities, this city was indeed somewhat lively.
The siphoning effect of large cities was very obvious now. Most of the small and medium-sized cities in the wilderness were uninhabited, and the limited population was concentrated in a few large cities. Meanwhile, the rampaging Direbeasts outside had gradually isolated the human cities. Many high-level Direbeasts would not only attack humans, but also ghosts and those infected by the Wood Transformation Administration. Their bodies were strong and they were not afraid of infection. Their spiritual will was also as strong as a rock, and they were not afraid of the consciousness invasion of the Hungry Ghost Realm.
Luo Kai wandered around the streets. The majority of the people here were black and white. Of course, most of them were brown and mixed-blood. Perhaps because of the lack of food and the lack of research on body arts, they were generally short and their bodies were not as strong as the people of the Eastern Continent.
Now that the human language had been unified, the human race had also entered the era of great integration.
After a round, he saw a restaurant with a huge signboard on the street in front of him. "Al Hotel."
As soon as Luo Kai approached, a short waiter rushed out of the restaurant and yelled at him, "Go go go, there are no leftovers here!"
Luo Kai stopped and looked down at himself. It turned out that his lower body was only wrapped in a tattered animal skin that he had picked up at some point. He was naked and looked more pitiful than the homeless people on the street.
He smiled and turned to leave. He had less and less contact with human society, and he had almost forgotten his sense of shame as a human. Or it could be said that he no longer cared about these details. Even if he was really naked, it was nothing. His body, hair, and skin had been blessed by the heavens and earth.
In the southwest corner of the city, in a huge stainless steel shed, there was a small trading market. All kinds of people were trading in the most primitive barter.
Sensing a familiar smell, Luo Kai walked in doubtfully. Not only were there all kinds of food, fruits, cigarettes, and alcohol that he had never seen before, there was also a lot of Direbeast meat. The meat of Direbeasts was very tough, and it would not rot even after ten days or eight months.
In the center of the market, there was a small two-story building. On the eaves of the small building, there was a plaque that read 'Shang Wutang'.
Luo Kai made his way through the crowd in front of the building and into the backyard. There were a dozen people scattered around the backyard. Among them, a charming woman was speaking loudly, "Recently, our Shang Wutang has reached a partnership with the Eastern Continent's Green Lotus Business Alliance. We will be selling Evolving Potions, from low-grade to high-grade ones. Since the Evolving Potion can only be extracted from the corpses of Direbeasts, our Shang Wutang is purchasing large quantities of Direbeasts' corpses that have been killed less than three days ago.
Luo Kai sized up the people around him. The cultivation level of the people here was not bad. Most of them were Physique Warriors.
Looking at the situation, the system here was different from that of the Eastern Continent. Most of them were private armed forces that were different from the army, which was the so-called Shang Wutang.
The charming woman continued, "A few days ago, our Shang Wutang discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization in the desert of the Thousand Tooth Lake. We obtained many good things from there. Today, we specially brought them out for you to see. Of course, if you are interested, you are welcome to exchange some things."
The crowd began to discuss, "I heard that many treasures were found in the ruins of the Thousand Tooth Mountain that are useful to us Physique Cultivators!
"Miss Ye, what good things did your noble hall obtain this time?"
"That's right. Take it out and let us take a look."
The charming woman smiled as she took out a small porcelain bottle. She poured out a black pill and said, "This pill contains a very strong wood-attribute energy. It has the effect of regrowing a severed limb. It can also strengthen a living being's cells. If you have a complete corpse of a mature Direbeast, you can evaluate it and exchange it."
Just as she finished speaking, a man with a face full of scars shouted, "I have a bottle of mid-grade genetic medicine. Can I exchange it?"
The charming woman clearly recognized this man. She smiled sweetly and said, "Big Brother Zhang is about to break through to Physique Master. As long as you join our Shang Wutang, we will naturally offer you this pill."
The man hesitated and then shook his head, "I can't. I've already joined the Beast Hunting Battalion. I can't join other influences in private."
The charming woman sighed regretfully. Then, she took out a long saber from a large box behind her. It was so rotten that only its spine remained. She said, "This saber is something we obtained from the ruins. Don't judge it by its tattered appearance. Its hardness is in no way inferior to the bones of mature Direbeasts. Moreover, it has a certain demon-destroying effect. Everyone knows that Hungry Ghosts are rampant right now. With this saber in hand, you won't need to fear any formless ghosts!"
"Ah, this saber actually has such a miraculous effect!" Everyone stepped forward to ask.
"Of course. We've captured three different kinds of Hungry Ghosts and experimented on them. As long as a ghost is struck by this saber, its body will immediately corrode. It's even more effective than ultraviolet light!"
Luo Kai was a little surprised. This saber was the bone saber he had used before. Back in the Realm of Shattered Spirit, it had been melted by the giant serpent creature's flames. How could it appear here?
Perhaps it was related to the concept that he cultivated that encompassed all things. Any weapon that he used would gradually burst forth with an astonishing spirituality. The bone saber seemed to sense that Luo Kai was nearby and emitted a faint, low mournful cry.
A monkey-faced man walked up to the charming woman and whispered a few words in her ear. Then, he pointed at Luo Kai.
The charming woman immediately handed the saber in her hand to the person beside her. She stepped down from the high platform and walked towards Luo Kai. She didn't mind his nakedness at all. She stretched out her hand and said, "My name is Ye 'zi. Big brother, you must have just arrived in our New Australia City."
Luo Kai gently shook her hand. There was no doubt that there were some people here who were good at observing things. Although he deliberately hid his aura, he couldn't hide from some naturally sensitive humans.
The five senses of human beings were affected by external substances and were difficult to sense. However, the soul was not limited by this and could sense things on a microscopic level.
He thought for a moment and asked, "I've just arrived here. May I ask where you got that saber?"
Ye 'zi carefully looked at him, her beautiful eyes becoming brighter and brighter. This was because she couldn't see through the specific strength of the man in front of her. Not only could she not see through it, she couldn't even feel it. It was as if the man in front of her was just a mass of air.
She didn't dare to be negligent and said respectfully, "This saber came from the Thousand Tooth Sea Desert, located in the remote Gobi Wasteland. If big brother likes it, I can make the decision to give it to you."
Luo Kai smiled and said, "Then I'll give you something to exchange for it."
He touched his body and found nothing. After thinking for a moment, he pulled a bunch of long hair from his head, rolled it up and handed it over. He whispered, "You'll find out what it can do."
Ye 'zi was stunned. She reached out and took the long hair. It was very heavy, much heavier than gold and stone. However, it was smooth and soft to the touch, as if it was carved out of nephrite.
At this time, the bone saber in the man's hand on the stage suddenly began to buzz excitedly. It left the man's control and flew into Luo Kai's hand.
He reached out and stroked the mottled blade, then turned and left.
Ye 'zi stopped her men from chasing after him and shouted at his back, "Senior, may I know your name?"
Luo Kai waved his hand without looking back. His figure rose into the air and disappeared into the horizon.
This time, the people who were chasing after him were dumbfounded. Could it be that this man who was only wearing underpants was the legendary Saint?
