The teleportation array in the Floating Life City is located inside a massive stone tower of dozens of stories high. This stone tower can absorb energy from the depths of the sea, and such places are usually located near a powerful energy source at the bottom of the ocean. For example, the Sea Flower City was built underwater to directly extract such energy.

Shen Xiang entered the stone tower, where there were many people. This was a relay station for transportation between multiple cities in the Holy Water Heaven Realm, so it wasn’t surprising to see many people there.

Therefore, the first floor of this stone tower didn’t have a teleportation array; instead, there were many small shops. The foot traffic here was very dense, and the shops were also expensive apart from having many announcement boards posted with various items.

Shen Xiang saw a portrait hanging at the entrance to the second floor stairs, and it was of a beautiful woman with a seductive and gentle gaze.

"Xin Yue!" Shen Xiang exclaimed inwardly as he looked closely at the words next to the portrait. It turned out to be a bounty notice.

"Fifty million holy stones isn’t bad!" said Dragon Snowauty. "And it’s asking for her life straightaway! What did this young lady, Xin Yue, do that attracted such attention in the Holy Water Heaven Realm"

There was no reason written on the bounty notice, only stating that whoever could prove killing the woman in the portrait would receive fifty million holy stones from the Hou family.

This bounty notice being posted in such a prominent place required quite a bit of holy stones, and the forces that can offer so many holy stones must be formidable too!

"Why would the Hou family put out a bounty for Xin Yue" Shen Xiang decided to postpone visiting Life’s Forest and would uncover what Eastern Xin Yue did to warrant such a bounty from the Hou family.

"You’ve got quite the female slave there, even someone like you would be wanted by many," said Dragon Snowauty with a chuckle. "This bounty notice being here and the price being so high means this young lady isn’t easy to deal with."

"That’s right. But it also makes finding her even harder when she hides," said Shen Xiang, looking at the bounty notice. His eyes lit up as he thought about it. "Yes! The Hou family is using fifty million holy stones for this bounty, meaning she’s gained some reputation. If I offer a higher price and put in secret symbols on the bounty notice, she will know who it’s from and come looking for me!"

Looking around, Shen Xiang noticed a "Water Swift Harbor Management Office". This stone tower full of teleportation arrays was known as Water Swift Harbor.

"Should I go there to post the notice" Shen Xiang asked Dragon Snowauty to take out paper, and he drew a portrait of Eastern Xin Yue. The content was for the live capture of her with Shen Da Fei as the contact person. He added more details to ensure Eastern Xin Yue would recognize it was him.

“Get more and post all over the city.”

With Pearl and Kong Bai Ling’s help, they quickly prepared hundreds of copies!

Shen Xiang entered the Water Swift Harbor Management Office, where there were a few old men.

“How much do I need for the notice” Shen Xiang asked as he walked in, directly asking about it.

“Where do you want to post it” One of the old men looked at Shen Xiang and continued with his work, sorting out some notices that were meant to be posted.

“The most expensive and noticeable place, holy stones aren’t an issue!” Shen Xiang replied.

This was a big customer, and most of the notices posted were usually bounties or similar items. They often had a sense of urgency, too.

Such clients were best to take advantage of!

The old man quickly flashed a smile. "If you want people to know about your notice fast, we have an option here. It’s not just posting it in Water Swift Harbor but also all over the Floating Life City, noticeable places. We can finish this within two hours, then you should see the results in three days. However, we will only provide this if your notice content is interesting enough to attract attention."

“How many holy stones” Shen Xiang asked. "This is exactly what I need!"

“A hundred thousand holy stones per day, if you post for ten days straight, we’ll only charge eighty thousand holy stones. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll refund you all the holy stones," said the old man. "Of course, I’ve mentioned before that your content must have enough appeal to make people interested."

“That should be fine,” said Shen Xiang, showing the old man the bounty notice Dragon Snowauty had made.

The old man scolded himself inwardly as he saw the eighty million holy stones bounty notice. He regretted not asking for even more and offering Shen Xiang a discount.

“Alright, but… Is this fake news That means you need to prove that you have eighty million holy stones. Otherwise, if there’s trouble later on, Water Swift Harbor will be implicated as well.”

The few old men in the office were all curious about Eastern Xin Yue’s background. The Hou family had already put out a bounty for five million holy stones, and this time someone also put out an eighty million holy stone live capture bounty!

Shen Xiang took out a storage bag, handed it to the old man, saying, "Check it. This is my holy stones."

The few old men used their divine consciousness to inspect the pile of holy stones inside the storage bag, totaling ten million holy stones. These were all from selling six yuan Tianqing pills before.

The few old men felt uncomfortable as they regretted not asking for more holy stones. Even if Shen Xiang had been overcharged by millions of holy stones, he wouldn’t have complained.

“Here are eighty thousand holy stones. First, I’ll post for ten days.” Shen Xiang took out a stack of paper and asked. "How many should I need"

“A thousand copies, maybe If you don’t have enough, we can print them for you. These are all included in the eighty thousand holy stones.” The old man took the stack of paper from Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang’s heart secretly jumped. He was surprised by the sheer number of copies needed, feeling that his eighty thousand holy stones were well spent.

“This is my contact information. I’ll be within the city for these ten days, so just send messages to me if anyone comes looking,” said Shen Xiang as he handed the old man a transmission jade token.

“Can you tell me where the Hou family is” Shen Xiang asked again.

“You don’t know where the Hou family is” The old man was surprised, indicating that the Hou family was quite famous in this area.

“No!”

The old man’s gaze was peculiar. If they didn’t know the Hou family, it meant they were likely newcomers. Considering Shen Xiang had so many holy stones, if he was within the Holy Water Heaven Realm, he would have heard of Hou family.

“The Hou family is one of the three water lords in our Floating Life City. They mainly control Life’s Forest and their overall strength speaks for itself, being very powerful. They have a presence here as well, while we Floating Life City is controlled by one of the three water lords. Our relationship with the Hou family isn’t bad.”

The old man said.

Shen Xiang nodded. "That’s right, how can I meet them from the Hou family I want to know if our goals are aligned!"

The old man smiled, saying, "You don’t need to look for them. As soon as we post this, they’ll come looking for you. You’re new here, right Are you staying anywhere" Water Swift Harbor next to the Floating Life Inn where you can stay. I’ll let Hou family members find you there."然不簡單,如果是我的就好了!”穆倩香嘻笑道。然後給沈翔傳音:“老哥,你的青龍屠魔刀比這把神劍厲害多少?”“很難說,平分秋色吧!”沈翔說道:“我現在有那個神鼎。等以後我學好煉器之術,給你煉製一把厲害的神劍。”“嗯,那我就提前謝謝老哥了!”穆倩香甜笑道。隻是神劍仙宮在這段時間要舉辦盛會,所以纔會把他們的鎮宮神劍亮出來。因此現在許多人慕名而來,特彆是那些用劍之人。他們覺得如果不來看看這把神劍的話,他們都...
