“Alchemist Lu, why are you…?” Alchemist Xu looked at Lu Zijia hesitantly, uncertain about her intentions.
“I want to use this pill to exchange for some information from Alchemist Xu. Is that okay?” Lu Zijia said frankly.
Compared to pills, the Ice Sea’s fish was more useful to her. After all, Vitality Pills and Xuanyun Pills weren’t suitable for cultivators like her.
Even though Alchemist Xu coveted the pills in front of him, he suppressed his desire and asked “I wonder what sort of information Alchemist Lu wants from me?”
“I want to know where you obtained the Ice Sea Fish from.” Lu Zijia didn’t think that Alchemist Xu was a sinister and cunning person, so she told him her purpose directly.
“Ice Sea Fish?” Alchemist Xu was confused at first, but he quickly realized what Li Zijia was referring to. “Alchemist Lu, are you talking about the silver fish?”
“That’s right.” Lu Zijia nodded.
The reason why fishes from the Ice Sea were extremely difficult to catch in the cultivation world was not only because they were extremely fast, but also because they were completely silver. If one didn’t look carefully in the ocean, they might very well miss them.
“So, that’s an Ice Sea Fish.” Alchemist Xu revealed a look of surprise. Although he was curious about why Lu Zijia wanted it, he didn’t ask further.
“I only have one Ice Sea Fish. A few years ago, a friend of mine used it to exchange for some pills, so I’m not sure about the exact source of the fish.”
Hearing that, Lu Zijia frowned and said, “Master Xu, can you ask your friend for me?”
In this world where spiritual energy was extremely thin, it was impossible to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment realm without the help of external objects, let alone the Golden Core realm.
So, the source of the Ice Sea Fish was still very important to her.
Alchemist Xu suddenly restrained his expression and sighed slightly. His tone was a bit apologetic. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Alchemist Lu, but I’m powerless.”
Lu Zijia looked confused, and she thought to herself, Did the friend who exchanged the salted fish for pills pass away?
But soon, Lu Zijia knew that she was wrong.
“Alchemist Lu, you might not know this, but apart from the Martial Arts World, there’s also the Upper Martial Arts Realm above. The cultivation resources in the Upper Martial Arts Realm are more abundant, and the Martial Artists there are more talented than the ones here. I came from that realm so I can tell you that there are people guarding its entrance. Without the people from the realm leading the way, the martial artists here can’t go there.”
At this point, Alchemist Xu’s turbid old eyes revealed endless vicissitudes of life. “And due to some personal reasons, I don’t want to return to the Upper Martial Arts Realm. I’m afraid I can’t help you, Alchemist Lu.”
Even though this world was technologically advanced, there were also places that technology couldn’t reach. The Upper Martial Arts Realm was one such place, and so, there was no way they could contact someone in there.
“The Upper Martial Arts Realm?” Surprise flashed through Lu Zijia’s bright eyes.
This was news to her. It seemed this world was also divided into different levels like the cultivation world.
“Then, Alchemist Xu, can you tell me the location of the entrance of the Upper Martial Arts Realm and where that fellow Taoist lives?”
Lu Zijia certainly wouldn’t give up the rare cultivation resources easily.
However, from Alchemist Xu’s tone, it was not difficult to tell that there were many experts in the Upper Martial Arts realm. If she wanted to go there, she had to increase her cultivation first. Otherwise, she would only be walking into a death trap.
