There are two ways to leave the inland sea.
First, by riding a sword or driving a flying boat through the inland sea, flying over the distant coast of the Eastern Territory, and then crossing a hundred thousand miles of dense forests and swamps, and crossing layers of mountains, only then can we truly reach the interior of the Eastern Territory - a place suitable for human beings to live.
This path has many dangers along the way, and few people choose it.
Second, if you pay 5,000 first-level spiritual beads or 1,000 lower-grade spiritual stones to Wanyan Sect, you can leave the inner sea by taking the teleportation array on the two islands in the inner sea.
This is the choice of most people, but not everyone can do it easily.
Because spiritual stones are rare items in the inner sea, people often use spiritual beads.
Five thousand first-level spiritual beads are equivalent to one thousand second-level spiritual beads, which are equivalent to five hundred third-level spiritual beads, or one hundred fourth-level spiritual beads, fifty fifth-level spiritual beads, and one sixth-level spiritual bead. Level spirit bead...
And foundation-building monks can generally only deal with third-level monsters. You can imagine how difficult it is to ride in a teleportation array.
Furthermore, since most of the monks have entered the inland sea and enjoyed the protection of the inland sea for more than a year, they must protect the inland sea together with everyone for ten years.
During this period, they have to accept the call from the island lords or city lords in the inland sea, and use all their strength to resist the beast tide and protect the inland sea.
And those who become the island lord or city lord of the Inland Sea, for no special reason, will never be able to leave the Inner Sea again in their lifetime.
As for the foundation-building disciples of Wan Yan Sect who are stationed in the Inner Sea all year round, they have a chance to be sent back to the sect every ten years, but this chance is also extremely slim, because no one wants to come to the Inner Sea, and no one wants to take over their tasks. …
Nowadays, a small number of Inner Sea monks are leaving one after another, which has a great impact on the entire Inland Sea.
Gradually, some monks who had been helpless and wasted in the inner sea for many years began to have wandering thoughts. Resentments and regrets slowly accumulated, causing bad rumors to begin to spread.
"Every time a beast tide comes, aren't we the foundation-building monks who go to die?"
"Hey——, who says it's not the case! Although everyone is willing to protect the inner sea, I always want to leave the inner sea after every beast tide."
"Yeah, it's better to go out and have some adventures than wait for death in the inland sea."
"How can it be so easy to leave? Do you have five thousand first-order spirit beads? Do you dare to cross the inner sea and reach the interior of the Eastern Territory alone with a sword?"
"...I just hate that my cultivation is low and I am short of money, so I can't take a ride on the Wanyan Sect's teleportation array. Tell me, isn't it just a one-time ride on the teleportation array? Why is it so expensive!"
"...Although I was born and raised in the Inland Sea since I was a child, the Inland Sea is my hometown and my home. But I have been practicing hard in the Inland Sea for decades, and now I can reach the foundation level. The final state cannot be further advanced, which is really uncomfortable..."
"Oh——, I heard that the spiritual energy in the interior of the Eastern Territory is very strong. The monks there are as easy to advance as drinking water, and their cultivation level is rising slowly..."
A disciple of Wanyan Sect suddenly laughed, "Nonsense, how can it be so exaggerated!"
The man also smiled, thought of something, and asked strangely:
"Huh? Fellow Daoist Lin, didn't you say that the foundation-building disciples of your Wanyan Sect stationed in the inner sea can be transferred back to the Wanyan Sect every ten years? But I think you have been stranded in this inner sea for a full forty years..."
Hearing this, the Wanyan Sect disciple was silent, with a bitter expression on his face, and smiled sadly, but did not answer any more.
Seeing this, the others sighed again and changed the topic.
"...Although the Inner Sea is now protected by True Monarch Nascent Soul, it stands to reason that this place is much safer than before, but we monks are still struggling to make any progress, and it is becoming increasingly hopeless."
"The inner sea is actually just a prison that traps the rest of us. If we stay here, we are just waiting to die..."
Various rumors gradually weakened the hearts of people in Inner Sea, and conflicts among monks also increased day by day. In particular, conflicts between Wanyan Sect disciples stationed in Inner Sea and other monks frequently broke out, such as:
"I obviously beat this beast half to death with my hard work, how could you cut it off and steal my spirit beads! Even if you are disciples of Wanyan Sect, you can't be so unreasonable and bully others, right?"
"Hey, please speak to me! This monster suddenly came out. We killed it and took the spirit beads. What's wrong? It's you who suddenly appeared and said something crazy. Why, the monsters in the entire Chaos Sea The beast is yours, so we can’t kill it?”
"You guys are bullying others too much! Bullying others too much!"
Also:
"This Restoration Pill is something I need urgently. Besides, the shopkeeper and I have already agreed on the price. I would like to ask fellow Taoist monks to give it back to me."
"I'm sorry, I also need this Restoration Pill. Besides, in the Inner Sea, we monks from Wanyan Sect have the first right to purchase it. Even if you and the shopkeeper have already discussed it, you can only give it to me. "
"you--"
…
All of the above happen from time to time, and sometimes a fight will break out after they are confused. The winner will walk away, and the loser will become more resentful and resentful.
Therefore, the worries in Li Jiuman's mind became more and more day by day, and all kinds of difficult things made him almost scratch his bald head.
Now, his honest face was full of vicissitudes of life, which made Shi Yao feel a little sympathetic.
Because of this, she was surprisingly more tolerant of Li Jiu's sometimes nagging.
Li Jiu: “Inner Sea’s customary treatment of Wanyan Sect’s monks for many years is just a way to appease the disciples stationed in Inner Sea…
Without these preferential treatment, I am afraid that no one would be willing to garrison in the Inland Sea. "
Shi Yao nodded, "The existence of any rules has its own reasons. If they are easily abolished, I am afraid that the inner sea will be in chaos. This matter should be carefully considered."
Li Jiu: "That's right! Furthermore, the sect's teleportation array took us a lot of effort and rare materials to build such a one. The cost of activating the teleportation array every time is also indispensable!
If you don't give the spirit beads, how can you let people ride the teleportation array for free? "
Shi Yao nodded again.
Li Jiu: "Also, since you have entered the inland sea and enjoyed the protection of the inland sea, you have to pay the same price to protect the inland sea. Isn't this a fair transaction, a very reasonable rule, and a normal thing?
From the beginning, everyone knew it and agreed with it. Those who didn’t agreed were not forced to stay in the inner sea! What can I do? ! "
Shi Yao nodded again.
Li Jiu: "Oh——, so does the sect. Didn't we agree that a new group of people would be stationed in the inner sea every ten years? Why is there no movement every time?!"
Shi Yao nodded again and softly said "hmm" to express her approval of Li Jiu's condemnation.
Sometimes Yao's understanding made Li Jiu feel more reasonable. At the same time, he felt helpless and continued to talk a lot.
Finally, Li Jiu sincerely asked for advice: "Zhenjun, please tell me, what should I do as a disciple?"
Hearing this, Shi Yao suddenly stopped nodding as he wanted to continue.
