Chapter 1661 - 1469: Chaos Sea, Floating City_4

Ye Guichen went straight to the fishing rod section. When he looked up, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The cheapest fishing rod was actually priced at over a million spirit stones, and the more expensive ones were labeled in the billions.

Damn it!

Ye Guichen suddenly realized that the combined spirit stones on him couldn't afford even the most expensive fishing rod?

Damn it, am I really this poor?

Ye Guichen cursed in his mind.

However, just by appearance and quality, the billion spirit stone fishing rod did indeed seem impressive.

It even had two words written on it: Immortal Artifact.

That's right, the most expensive fishing rod turned out to be an immortal artifact.

While the cheapest fishing rods were just ordinary spiritual artifacts, with a very small chance of catching sea creatures.

"What should I do?" Ye Guichen muttered, feeling frustrated.

According to Xie Biwen, without a fishing rod, it would be very difficult to catch sea creatures, and without catching sea creatures, it would be hard to survive.

Looks like I can only buy a fishing rod first and then wait and see.

After secretly checking his spirit stones, Ye Guichen gritted his teeth and finally bought a fishing rod for five million.

According to its description, this rod was a magic artifact, just one grade lower than the most expensive rod, still usable.

After buying the fishing rod, he spent another ten thousand spirit stones on bait. Finally equipped, Ye Guichen returned to Xie Biwen's side, only to see Xie Biwen frowning deeply, as if something happened.

"Senior Xie, are you alright?" Ye Guichen asked in a low voice.

Xie Biwen glanced at Ye Guichen, face solemn: "Someone just caught a dead body."

"A dead body?" Ye Guichen was puzzled: "Senior, what do you mean by that?"

"What else could it mean? A dead body is a deceased person. The person's cultivation seemed quite strong, likely killed and thrown into the sea. This suggests there are likely pirates around here, so we should be cautious."

"Pirates?" Ye Guichen stumbled, there were pirates here too?

However, upon second thought, it made sense.

If everyone lives on floating cities here, some people would definitely prefer raiding other floating cities rather than fishing.

This way, they could quickly gain resources, saving time and effort, so why not?

"Are those pirates very formidable?" Ye Guichen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Xie Biwen glanced at Ye Guichen and said quietly: "Formidable? Without a demi-immortal as city lord, an ordinary pirate crew couldn't last long."

"Demi-immortal?" Ye Guichen was taken aback: "Then what is the cultivation level of our floating city's city lord?"

Xie Biwen's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration: "You're talking about City Lord Qin, right? Her cultivation is reportedly at the pinnacle of the Divinity Transformation Realm, just a step away from becoming a demi-immortal."

"That's impressive!" Ye Guichen admired, "She truly is a master."

"Naturally, among the floating cities, City Lord Qin is the most benevolent and outstanding. Some floating cities charge a rent of twenty thousand per day. More terrifyingly, some cities lure people in on purpose to kill them and seize their resources. Young man, you're lucky you encountered City Lord Qin, or you might not have lasted a day on the Chaos Sea."

Ye Guichen now had a general understanding of the terror of the Chaos Sea, nodding in sincere agreement: "Yes, I'm lucky to have encountered your floating city, otherwise..."

Before Ye Guichen could finish his thought, someone suddenly shouted: "Oh no, there's a pirate city ahead!"

Ye Guichen looked up, his pupils contracting.

He saw a floating city two to three times larger than the one he was on, rapidly approaching.
