The skinny man
Half a month later, Zhuowen discovered a dot of light in the distance.
In this cold and pitch black Heavenly Chasm, this dot of light seemed so dazzling and unique.
Zhuowen was excited. He knew that this dot of light was the pier that Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain set up on the other side of Heavenly Chasm.
As for the pier on the other side of Heavenly Chasm, he had heard about it from Fire Plume. Therefore, he knew that the dot of light was the pier. As long as he entered the pier, he would be able to reach Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain.
When Zhuowen approached the pier, he discovered that it was rather lively. There were many people moving about and it was bustling with activity.
Moreover, he discovered that most of the cultivators left from this pier and entered Heavenly Chasm.
Zhuowen knew that these should be cultivators who were planning to head to the eight great heavenly domains.
Looking at the anxious looks of these cultivators, it seemed like they didn't know what happened in the eight great heavenly domains.
When Zhuowen controlled the space-time roulette to land on the pier, he was immediately stopped by a skinny man.
This skinny man's skin was very dark and he was as thin as a match. However, he wore loose clothes which made him look even skinnier.
However, what surprised Zhuowen was that this skinny man's cultivation wasn't weak. He was actually a Dao Yuan Master. Moreover, from the looks of it, he should be the manager of this pier.
Zhuowen looked at this skinny man indifferently. After all, he wasn't a cultivator from Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain. Since this skinny man stopped him, there must be something. If he took the initiative to ask, he would inevitably be suspected by this person.
"I say, don't you have to pay crystal stones to enter the pier?" The skinny man looked suspiciously at Zhuowen and asked.
Zhuowen smiled and said, "This brother, I was too anxious just now. Therefore, I forgot about this matter.
Moreover, this is my first time leaving Heavenly Chasm. Now that I'm back, I don't know the rules. I hope you can forgive me! "
The skinny man nodded and stretched out his hand. He said impatiently, "65 low grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals. Quickly hand them over and then leave!"
Zhuowen revealed a troubled expression. He did indeed have Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals on him, but they were all high grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals at the very least. He really did not have any low grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals.
After all, low-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals were basically useless to Zhuowen. He didn't care much about low-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals, so he didn't deliberately collect them.
"What?
You don't even have ten low-grade Heavenly Law Origin Crystals? "
The skinny man saw the difficult expression on Zhuowen's face. He glared at him and his tone became somewhat unfriendly.
Zhuowen helplessly took out a high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal and handed it to the skinny man. "This should be enough, right?"
When the skinny man saw that Zhuowen had only taken out one crystal, he was furious. However, his expression quickly changed and he immediately put the crystal into his sleeve.
As he felt the surging energy of the Heaven Dao within his sleeve, the emaciated man looked around, and he was extremely excited when he noticed that no one was paying attention to him.
This was because the crystal that this white-clothed youth had taken out was actually a high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal.
He had been in charge of the docks for countless years, and this was not the first time he had seen a high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal. After all, there would occasionally be almighty experts who would pass through the docks and enter the natural moat to temper themselves. These experts would naturally use high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals to trade.
However, this was indeed the first time the skinny man had obtained a high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal.
At the same time, the skinny man was shocked. He sized up the youth before him. This kid's aura is very weak. He's only a Heavenly Dao Lord, but he actually has a high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal on him.
Moreover, this kid took out a high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal right off the bat. Could it be that this kid has quite a few high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals on him?
When he thought of this, a hint of greed appeared in the skinny man's eyes. He looked at Zhuowen with a burning gaze.
Zhuowen naturally noticed the greed in the skinny man's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart.
This guy better not provoke him. Otherwise, don't blame me, Zhuowen, for not showing mercy.
"Brother, can I leave now?" Zhuowen asked indifferently.
The skinny man came back to his senses and revealed a rare smile. Moreover, there was a hint of enthusiasm in his smile. He said, "Young master, I see that you must be quite tired from your long journey. I know of a pretty good inn. The proprietress of that inn is very friendly and knows this area very well."
"Little brother, I see that this is your first time out on an adventure!
Go to that inn and stay there. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied! "
Zhuowen sneered in his heart and asked casually, "Does that proprietress sell a map of the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain?"
"A map?
Don't you have one on you? "The skinny man looked at Zhuowen in surprise.
Zhuowen's heart trembled. It seemed that he had asked the wrong question. From the reaction of this skinny man, the cultivators of the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain basically carried a map with them.
In fact, what Zhuowen didn't know was that the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain was really too big. It was much bigger than the eight heavenly domains combined. There were countless plane worlds inside and the geography was extremely complicated.
Even the cultivators of the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain had a high chance of getting lost. If they didn't carry a map with them, they probably wouldn't know which remote alley they would walk into.
It could be said that when the cultivators of the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain went out, a map was necessary.
Therefore, when Zhuowen asked this question, the skinny man was so surprised.
"I accidentally dropped my map, so I need to buy a new one!" Zhuowen said very calmly.
The skinny man nodded and didn't suspect too much. He said, "The proprietress of that inn is also a famous map maker. Naturally, she has a map for sale. Moreover, the map she makes should be the best quality in this area. At the same time, it's also the most expensive."
"Okay, tell me the address of that inn!" Zhuowen said.
"I'll take you there directly!"
The skinny man was very enthusiastic. He called for another person not far away to help him manage the dock. Then, he hurriedly left the dock with Zhuowen.
Although Zhuowen knew that this guy didn't have any good intentions, he didn't expose him.
With his current strength, this skinny man only had the strength of a Dao Yuan Master. If he found trouble with him, he would be seeking his own death.
Moreover, he had just arrived and didn't know much about the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain. Now that there was a local leading the way, it was naturally the best for Zhuowen. It would save him the trouble of finding someone else.
Along the way, Zhuowen chatted casually with this person. He found out that this person's name was Guishan, and he was one of the managers of the Impermanence Dock.
The Impermanence Dock was the dock set up by the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain in the Heavenly Moat. Moreover, this was only one of the docks in the Xuan Mi Heavenly Domain.
