"Okay."
In fact, Mingxi had already inquired about what needed to be prepared before entering the Endless Sea, so she wasn't surprised by his arrangements at all.
Because of his speculation about Mingxi's identity, the professional guide, Lalai, was very dedicated and responsible, and more importantly, he didn't have any ulterior motives.
As for the profession of tour guide, those who know, know.
After several hours of shopping, everything that needed to be bought was purchased, and the prices were very reasonable; there wasn't a single instance of a big store bullying a customer.
She also learned some information beneficial to her upcoming itinerary from Lalai's intentional casual conversations with the shopkeepers.
Mingxi was extremely satisfied.
Hiring this guide was definitely worth it.
"Ada, this is your guide fee for today. Thank you for your hard work."
Lalai accompanied Mingxi for over five hours, and Mingxi, without bargaining, promptly paid for six hours of guide fees.
She also added a tip of 6666 star coins.
A total of 54666 star coins.
Upon seeing the star coins transferred by Mingxi, the old man immediately smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, thanking her repeatedly.
He knew this Xiao Guniang was extraordinary; a six-thousand star coin tip wasn't a lot, but it certainly wasn't a small amount either, and the Xiao Guniang's attitude towards him had always been very good.
From beginning to end, she never showed a hint of disdain or disgust, and she would always ask for his opinion when buying things.
Even if she didn't follow his advice in the end, she would explain seriously, without any perfunctoriness.
Having been a guide for so many years, he was confident in discerning whether an employer's approval of him was genuine or feigned.
Before bidding farewell, Lalai couldn't help but say, "Mimier, I heard that the seawater in the Endless Sea is unusual. You need to be careful."
Mingxi raised an eyebrow in surprise. What did that mean?
The seawater isn't ordinary seawater?
She wanted to ask a few more questions, but unfortunately, the old man didn't give her a chance, leaving after dropping that one sentence.
"...The seawater is unusual? Be careful?" Mingxi pondered the remark.
She could understand the Endless Sea being unusual, as it was a Mystic Ground after all.
But the seawater being unusual?
The information she had checked did not contain any news of abnormalities in the Endless Sea's seawater.
The Endless Sea Secret Realm has existed for an unknown number of years, and after a large number of Blue Star humans migrated, they conducted thorough investigations of the Endless Sea, both inside and out.
Especially the seawater.
Various high-tech instruments had inspected it, and water-attribute pet beasts had explored deep into the sea.
It proved that the seawater in the Endless Sea was just ordinary, normal seawater.
It was non-toxic, non-polluting, and had no enhancing effects whatsoever.
There had also been no rumors of anyone or Transcendent creatures having problems because of the seawater before.
However, Lalai's words just now didn't sound like he was being alarmist; although it was 'he heard from someone,' his tone just now sounded more serious.
As the saying goes, it's better to believe it than not.
One must always maintain a sense of awe towards the unknown.
So Mingxi immediately dismissed the idea of letting Black Pearl try to evolve in the Endless Sea.
Just in case, it's best to avoid touching the seawater of the Endless Sea.
Early the next ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) morning, Mingxi took a vehicle to Jing'an District, where the Endless Sea passage was located. Due to the Endless Sea passage, the scale of Jing'an District was considerable.
Even when the passage was closed, this area was Leguang City's most important tourist scenic spot.
However, the ticket prices for Jing'an District differed between the passage period and the ordinary period.
"99,000."
That was the ticket price for Beast Tamers during the opening period of the Mystic Ground passage.
And because this period was also open to Transcendent creatures, there was also a ticket for Transcendent creatures called an 'Exotic Ticket.'
Transcendent creatures could exchange copper tickets worth about 50,000, so Jing'an District also spawned a special profession called 'Exchange Merchants.'
These people specialized in doing business with wild Transcendent creatures, selling materials worth about 50,000.
As for what wild Transcendent creatures exchanged for them?
Of course, it was some more precious materials.
Wild Transcendent creatures weren't brainless, so they certainly wouldn't use materials exceeding the value to purchase Exotic Tickets.
Additionally, during the ordinary period, there was only one type of ticket, costing just 298 star coins.
Mingxi paid for her ticket and followed the crowded people into Jing'an District.
There were truly many people.
Of course, it wasn't all people; there were quite a few Transcendent creatures as well.
Those swimming in the water, flying in the sky, running on land, those she had seen, and those she hadn't, Mingxi felt a momentary sensation of entering a wild animal park.
"Genggeng."
"Chichi..."
"Lu."
The cries of Transcendent creatures mixed with human voices, making it even livelier than a flea market.
Mingxi felt a little dizzy.
But she knew this wasn't because of the excessive noise; although she disliked noise, it wasn't enough to make her dizzy due to the surrounding environment being too loud.
This was the Mind-Banishment Test outside the Endless Sea Secret Realm passage.
The Endless Sea Secret Realm differs greatly from ordinary Mystic Grounds; it is a naturally solidified Mystic Ground, and when the passage appears, a Mind-Banishment Domain will simultaneously appear near the passage (the entire Jing'an District).
Only by enduring the domain's test, passing the Mind-Banishment Test, and finding the true entrance to the passage can one enter the Endless Sea.
In other words, purchasing a ticket does not necessarily guarantee entry into the Endless Sea.
Because if one fails the Mind-Banishment Test, they will unconsciously leave Jing'an District, and once outside Jing'an District, to re-enter, one must purchase a new ticket.
And there were quite a few such people.
Therefore, Leguang City's finances have never experienced a deficit.
This Endless Sea was simply a money-making artifact.
"Go this way."
"No, the passage is over here."
"It's here, look quickly..."
"..."
Various sounds constantly emerged from around her. Everything happening before her eyes was very real: excited and noisy people, hurried Transcendent creatures, and panicked and confused ones...
"Xiao Guniang, what are you going over there for? You've taken the wrong path, the Endless Sea passage is over there."
Someone grabbed her arm and pointed in a certain direction.
She could feel that the person beside her was not an illusion but a real person, so this Mind-Banishment Domain should be able to influence one's mind. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Thinking this, she couldn't help but wonder if she herself was being affected right now.
Were her perceptions, what she saw, heard, and thought, not her true sensations?
The more she thought about it, the more she realized how formidable this Mind-Banishment Domain was.
More importantly, once inside the Mind-Banishment Domain, one could no longer summon pet beasts.
And if one wanted to bring a pet beast into Jing'an District, they would have to purchase an Exotic Ticket for the pet beast.
It wasn't that Mingxi couldn't afford a few Exotic Tickets, but pet beasts would also be affected once they entered Jing'an District, so it was better to enter by herself.
Anyway, after entering the Mystic Ground, one could summon pet beasts.
This was also why the Beast Tamer tickets were more expensive than the Exotic Tickets.
There were many tricks to it.
"Master, the Mystic Ground passage is directly in front of you, 32 meters away."
Guangguang's voice sounded at this moment.
Mingxi frowned. Was that voice really Guangguang's?
...Master, you need to have confidence in yourself. I am certain you have not been mentally confused.
