Bai Sha couldn’t understand it.
But she wasn’t about to give up so quickly. She immediately picked up another book, Detailed Explanation of Basic Arrays, and started reading.
After a while, Bai Sha put this book down too and flipped through the remaining ones one after another.
After this perusal, Bai Sha reached a conclusion: she probably wasn’t suited to studying arrays.
It wasn’t that she truly understood nothing; it was just that even grasping a small portion of the content often required an immense amount of time.
After putting all the books away again, Bai Sha silently left the White Shark Territory, heading toward the location where the Lost Island had previously appeared. If she wanted to summon the Lost Island again, she still had to go to that place.
However, as Bai Sha approached the sea area near Lost Island, she saw from afar that a Demon Cultivator was lingering on the sea surface.
Bai Sha’s movements immediately halted.
‘Although Lost Island has vanished, it did exist after all. As the Demon Cultivators from before return and spread the news, quite a few will come here to investigate.’
Bai Sha quickly understood the situation.
Under these circumstances, reopening the Lost Island now would be somewhat conspicuous.
After thinking it over, Bai Sha turned around and went back.
Her lingering interest in Lost Island was, of course, the Formation Materials still there, but if it would attract attention, there was no need to rush to obtain this batch of materials.
Moreover, since problems had arisen over at the Dream Ruins, even with Contribution Points there wasn’t much to buy now anyway. She didn’t need to be in a hurry to earn Contribution Points.
Returning to the White Shark Territory, the first thing Bai Sha saw was Yin Sha swimming back and forth in the seawater.
The Raging Waves Art was excellent in every way, except that the cultivation art was too troublesome. It required constantly swimming in the seawater to feel the contact between the water and one’s own body.
Seeing Bai Sha return, Yin Sha splashed over with a whoosh. “Bai Sha, you went out? What did you go to do?”
Bai Sha blinked her eyes and said, “Sister Yin Sha, I was planning to go to the Hundred Demon Territory Market earlier, but halfway there I felt my strength was insufficient, so I came back to find you.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Sha couldn’t help but be curious. “Insufficient strength? Are you planning to deal with someone?”
Bai Sha nodded her head. “Sister Yin Sha, back in the Hundred Demon Territory, I exchanged spells I’d mastered for spells with other Demon Cultivators. But most of those spells were useless; those Demon Cultivators were trading spells that couldn’t be cultivated at all. I feel this matter shouldn’t just be let go.”
Yin Sha understood immediately upon hearing this.
She had been to the Hundred Demon Territory Market far more times than Bai Sha and naturally understood some of the tricks there. Con artists made up at least half of the place.
Seeing Bai Sha had been deceived, Yin Sha couldn’t help but feel somewhat guilty, feeling a great sense of responsibility.
After all, she was the one who had brought Bai Sha to the Hundred Demon Territory Market, and after bringing her there, she hadn’t watched over her properly, allowing Bai Sha to be tricked by other Demon Cultivators like this. Although technically one didn’t suffer a loss by giving away a spell, letting another Demon Cultivator take advantage for nothing was indeed a loss.
“Bai Sha, you’ve already confirmed that some spells are definitely useless, right?”
“I can confirm it. I verified it using the Dream Ruins.”
“And do you still remember who those guys who tricked you are?”
“I remember them all.”
“Good, then let’s go settle accounts with them.”
Yin Sha rubbed her pectoral fins together, looking eager for action.
Places like the Hundred Demon Territory Market were generally only frequented by Qi Condensation stage Demon Cultivators. Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators were rarely seen there, because the value of items needed by Foundation Establishment cultivators was much higher, and they were basically unavailable at a place like the Hundred Demon Territory Market.
Therefore, Yin Sha was very confident. With her current Foundation Establishment (Early) cultivation level, she could swagger around the Hundred Demon Territory Market with impunity. She would definitely make those who had deceived Bai Sha pay the price.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Sister Yin Sha. Let’s go.”
Bai Sha swung her tail fin to turn around and began heading toward the Hundred Demon Territory Market.
However, whether they could catch the Demon Cultivators who had tricked her with fake goods was uncertain. Those Demon Cultivators might have fled as soon as they successfully swindled the spells. If that were the case, settling the score would have to wait until the next life.
But regardless, going back there one more time couldn’t hurt.
The Hundred Demon Territory was never very far from the White Shark Territory to begin with, so Bai Sha and Yin Sha hadn’t been swimming in the seawater for too long before they arrived at the Hundred Demon Territory.
Not much time had passed since the Hundred Demon Territory Market had opened, and since there was no distinction between day and night underwater, the market was still very lively at this time. Demon Cultivators of various strange shapes shuttled back and forth through the seawater, the sound bustling and noisy.
“Bai Sha, quickly find your targets,” Yin Sha said from the side.
Bai Sha nodded her head, her gaze quickly scanning the market.
Perhaps her luck was good; she hadn’t searched long before she found a target.
“Sister Yin Sha, over here.”
Bai Sha said a word, then quickly swam over.
The Demon Cultivator Bai Sha targeted was a Golden Light Sea Lion. This was a Demon Cultivator race that looked much like a sea lion on the outside but had a golden, glittering body surface. It was said that this clan had some affinity with the Buddhist Sect, and their golden bodies were related to the Buddhist Golden Body.
Of course, that didn’t matter. What mattered to Bai Sha was that this guy had given her a fake spell.
Right now, the Golden Light Sea Lion was conducting a trade with a Fathead Fish.
“The spell I’m teaching you is, without a doubt, a complete and powerful spell. You must remember it clearly. If you remember it wrong, don’t come looking for me again.”
The Golden Light Sea Lion spoke with a stern expression.
The Fathead Fish, having heard who knows how much talk from the Golden Light Sea Lion, was feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented. Hearing the Golden Light Sea Lion say this, it hurriedly nodded to show it understood.
“Next it’s your turn to tell me a spell,” the Golden Light Sea Lion said seriously.
“The spell I’m going to give you is…”
“Hold it!”
The Fathead Fish’s words were interrupted before it could finish.
Hearing the voice, the confused Fathead Fish and the displeased Golden Light Sea Lion both turned their heads to look.
Two Great White Sharks presented themselves before their eyes like this.
The Golden Light Sea Lion said discontentedly, “What business do you two Misses have? Why did you interrupt our exchange?”
“Don’t you know who I am?” Bai Sha asked.
“You?” The Golden Light Sea Lion naturally remembered, but pretended not to know. “How would I know who you are? This is our first meeting, right?”
Bai Sha found this amusing upon hearing it. So this guy’s plan was to deny everything to the death?
“You should leave first,” Bai Sha said to the Fathead Fish. “The spell this fellow is giving you is useless, so you don’t need to continue trading with him.”
The Fathead Fish was stunned.
“What are you babbling about?” The Golden Light Sea Lion’s expression immediately darkened. “Who says the spell I provided is fake? What proof do you have that it’s fake?”
“As for whether it’s really fake or not, let’s discuss it somewhere else,” Yin Sha moved closer, releasing the aura of her Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.
