188: Star Order

Cultivators on this island generally practice Cultivation Techniques related to water and star attributes. These Cultivation Techniques mostly utilize the power of stars, combining it with water-attribute Spiritual Qi to unleash powerful might. Wang Sicong cautiously moved forward, observing his surroundings, trying to glean some experience from the Cultivation of these Cultivators.

He discovered that the Cultivators here were extremely skillful in their use of star power. Not only could they use the power of stars to enhance their own Cultivation, but they could also integrate it into their attacks and defenses, greatly increasing their strength.

As Wang Sicong had just arrived, he decided to first familiarize himself with the local situation and chose a well-known island as his base. This island was named Star Island, and many Cultivators gathered there, making it an important place for Cultivation and exchange in the Star Sea.

This island was very large, the biggest he had seen in the surrounding sea areas. The buildings on the island were well-arranged, with both magnificent palaces and exquisite pavilions, each exuding rich Spiritual Qi.

Upon his first arrival at Star Island, Wang Sicong learned that Star Island was controlled by the local Star Sect, and the Star Sect was one of the most powerful Sects in the Star Sea, with numerous experts and strong individuals within its Sect.

As Wang Sicong was unfamiliar with the distribution of forces in the Star Sea, he decided to stay on Star Island for a period. After some time, he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the Star Sea. He found that although the Cultivators in the Star Sea practiced various Cultivation Techniques, most were intricately linked to the power of stars. This star power seemed to have become the core of Cultivation for Cultivators in the Star Sea.

Wang Sicong moved around Star Island, observing the Cultivation methods of the Cultivators, trying to find some useful experience for himself.

With his Late stage of the Golden Core Realm Cultivation and some abilities from his main body, Wang Sicong, in the guise of an Alchemist, gradually became familiar with the surrounding Cultivators. Here, he met a fellow Cultivator of the Star Sect at the same stage, named Qi Xingchen.

Qi Xingchen was somewhat famous within the Star Sect. Not only was his Cultivation profound, but his use of star power was also extremely refined. Wang Sicong enjoyed their conversations and learned a lot about star power and its application techniques from him.

Through a period of familiarization, Wang Sicong learned that there was a place in the Star Sea called the “Star Secret Realm,” which was rumored to hide countless rare Materials and powerful star power. Many Cultivators dreamed of being able to enter it and obtain an Opportunity.

Wang Sicong's heart stirred, feeling that this might be an Opportunity for him to find starfall meteorite gold. Thus, he decided to inquire about the Star Secret Realm from Qi Xingchen.

He found an Opportunity when Qi Xingchen sought his help to refine a Medicinal Pill. The two chatted in the Pill Refining Room. Wang Sicong subtly brought up the Star Secret Realm, saying, “Brother Qi, I heard there's a place called the Star Secret Realm in the Star Sea, rumored to hide countless rare Materials and powerful star power. Is this true or false?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Qi Xingchen's eyes. He hadn't expected Wang Sicong to know about the Star Secret Realm. However, he quickly regained his composure, nodded, and said, “That's right, the Star Secret Realm does exist. However, it's fraught with danger, and nine out of ten people who enter don't come out. Therefore, many people are deterred from going there.”

Hearing this, Wang Sicong couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity. He pressed on, “Brother Qi, have you ever been inside? What exactly is in there?”

Qi Xingchen shook his head and said, “I haven't been inside. However, I once heard a Senior in the Sect mention that the Star Secret Realm contains not only countless rare Materials but also powerful star power. However, the dangers there are also immense. It's said to have many powerful Yao Beasts and Restrictions, and a slight misstep could lead to eternal damnation.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong hadn't expected this so-called Star Secret Realm to even make Qi Xingchen feel it was dangerous, which intensified his curiosity and anticipation for the Star Secret Realm. He knew that if he wanted to find starfall meteorite gold, the Star Secret Realm might be his only Opportunity.

Wang Sicong was silent for a moment, then asked, “Brother Qi, is there any way to enter the Star Secret Realm that is relatively safer?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Xingchen pondered for a moment, then said, “There is a way, but it requires some preparation. The Star Secret Realm opens once every hundred years, and the key to its opening is the star token. Only those holding a star token can enter the Star Secret Realm. However, star tokens are extremely rare; only a handful can be obtained each time it opens.”

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Wang Sicong's eyes. He nodded and said, “So that's how it is. Thank you for telling me, Brother Qi.”

Qi Xingchen waved his hand and said, “No problem. If Brother Wang wants to look for a star token, perhaps you could check the auction house in the Star Sea. You might find something.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong's heart stirred. He felt this method was feasible and decided to go to the Star Sea's auction house to take a look.

In the following days, Wang Sicong continued to stay on Star Island for a while, Cultivating and inquiring about information regarding the star token and the Star Secret Realm. At the same time, he also began to prepare for his trip to the auction house.

Finally, a year later, the Star Sea's annual auction was held as scheduled. Wang Sicong, with all his savings, embarked on his journey to the auction house.

The island where the auction was held was named “Treasure Island,” an important trading hub in the Star Sea. It gathered Cultivators and treasures from all over, making it one of the most prosperous places in the Star Sea.

Wang Sicong arrived at Treasure Island, only to see a bustling crowd of people. He squeezed into the crowd and arrived at the auction venue. On the auction stage, precious treasures were brought up one by one, attracting competitive bids from everyone.

Wang Sicong's gaze was sharp as he searched for information about the star token at the auction. Finally, halfway through the auction, an item caught his attention. The auctioneer held a token shimmering with starlight, which was precisely the star token Wang Sicong had been desperately searching for.

As soon as this token appeared, the atmosphere of the auction immediately reached a climax. The Cultivators below the stage began to discuss animatedly, their eyes gleaming with greed and desire. Wang Sicong's heart also stirred; he knew his Opportunity had come.

He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and then slowly raised his hand. The auctioneer, seeing this, nodded with a smile and then began to introduce the star token.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this star token is a rare treasure! It can not only open the Star Secret Realm but also contains powerful star power. For Cultivators who Cultivate star power, this is a priceless treasure!”

As the auctioneer introduced it, the Cultivators below the stage became even more excited, and the bids grew higher and higher. Wang Sicong stared intently at the star token on the auction stage, secretly calculating his savings.
