35 Fairy City News

  "Alright, then we'll stay in Tianyun Xianyuan City and seek the path to immortality! We won't leave Tianyun Xianyuan City until we become immortals."

  Ye Chen and three others made an agreement together.

  They were all fifteen or sixteen years old, young men and women who had just come out of the Wuguo Academy. They were at an age when they were full of passion and dreams, and were not afraid of anything. Who cared if the path to immortality was difficult? In Yunzhou, countless ordinary people dreamed of it day and night, but how many could actually step into the immortal path?

  "We've finally arrived at Xianyuan City, let's take a stroll around the city first!"

  "After getting familiar with the situation in Xian City, we'll find a job and support ourselves."

  Three people walked along the bustling streets of Xian City, curiously sizing up the many grand palaces, temples and towers within the city. They didn't know what these places were for, nor did they dare to barge in randomly, slowly getting familiar with the environment inside the city.

  Ye Chen couldn't tell which ones were martial artists and which ones were cultivators.

  However, as long as he took a glance at the pedestrians' expressions, he could mostly guess several points. Those who walked cautiously, avoided others when they saw them, and didn't dare to rush onto someone else's path, fearing that they would get into big trouble, were definitely martial artists.

  Those with a majestic appearance, looking as if they are expecting something, with an air of confidence and walking on the path with ease and composure, are mostly cultivators.

  If you see a luxurious spirit bird carriage on the move, don't even think about it, just hurry up and dodge. Without a few points of power, who dares to put on this posture in the Tianyun Xianyuan City.

  Inside Tianyun Xianyuan City, there are also many inns and wine houses.

  Three people walked and came to a very lively place.

  In the empty land of Youcheng District, a high platform was erected, covered with bright red carpet, and a flag was hung high above, with the words "Dou Xian Tai" written on it.

  Three people rushed over to watch the excitement.

  Two cultivators were dueling with each other up above.

  It's also unknown how they did it, floating in the air with an incredible number of inches, their movements extremely swift and ghostly. One person's palm occasionally burst out with several fist-sized fireballs, attacking the opponent. Another person held a sword, slashing towards the opponent.

  Boom!

  The small fireball exploded with great force.

  And around them, hundreds of people watched, occasionally bursting into loud applause.

  "It's so hot!"

  Ye Chen only felt a scorching heat wave rushing towards him, hastily stretching out his arm to block his face. After the heat wave passed, he put down his arm and found that his body was already drenched in sweat. Even tens of feet away it was still this hot, he really didn't know how the immortal on the stage could endure it.

  "This is the magic of the immortal!"

  "Our knife aura can only be released within a range of one zhang, and if it's any further, we won't be able to hit our opponent. A fairy's magic, knife aura, can attack from a great distance!"

  "If I had mastered the immortal technique, back then at Hei Shui Yuan, a single fireball would have been enough to annihilate Zheng Zhi Cheng!"

  Ye Chen, Yan Han and Wei Xunyu squeezed under the stage, staring with their eyes wide open and envying extremely. Although they couldn't understand much, they also knew it was absolutely amazing.

  "One day I'll become a cultivator too, and who knows, maybe I'll have this kind of skill too! That would be awesome!"

  It was as if several hours had passed, and they were all in a state of intoxication, until the sky was about to darken. The cultivators who were competing on the arena had all left, and the crowd that was watching had also dispersed. Only then did the three of them wake up from their delightful duel.

  The Tianyun Xianyuan City, lanterns have been hung on all the palaces and pavilions, the lights are shining brightly, and the streets are still crowded with people, as if there is no sign of quieting down at night.

  Ye Chen's mood was just pleasant and smooth, but suddenly his eyes narrowed, revealing a sharp edge.

  In the crowd ahead, a young man with his right arm severed was walking with his head down, lost in thought. He seemed to have sensed something and turned around, seeing Ye Chen and the others. "Hmph, as expected you've entered the Immortal City, let's see how I'll deal with you!" The young swordsman snorted coldly, then vanished into the crowd on the street with a swift movement of his foot.

  "Zheng Zicheng!"

  Wei Xunyu was shocked, "He also entered the Tianyun Xianyuan City, should we chase him up and kill him?!"

  "Don't chase! This is a fairy city, with fairies guarding it. If someone is killed here, they won't be able to stay! He wouldn't dare do anything to us either!"

  Han Lian chuckled lightly.

  They unexpectedly ran into Zheng Zhicheng, and the good mood of the three people instantly vanished. With Zheng Zhicheng around, they couldn't stay in Xian City safely either.

  "Let's go, it's getting late, find a cheaper inn in the city to stay for the night!"

  Ye Chen felt somewhat disheartened.

  Wei Xunyu nodded.

  After a while, they arrived at the southern city district. The buildings in this area were relatively older and not luxurious. There were more warriors appearing here.

  "Hey, innkeeper, how much gold will it cost for a night's stay at this inn?"

  Ye Chen found a very small inn, went up to ask the price, he had already prepared a large sum of money in his mind, after all, this was Tianyun Xianyuan City, which was not comparable to Wuguo Wangcheng and Zhao Yueguo Wangcheng. The price for staying one night must be very expensive.

  At first in Zhenyuan Pass, Yan Han and Wei Xiangyu took the valuable items from the Ma family's house, and they all had something of value on them.

  "Sir, you're new to Xianyuan City, right? In this city, no matter what business you do, they only accept spiritual stones. Who wants gold and silver?! The little servant at the door rolled his eyes and asked, "Our store's prices are fair and cheap, one spiritual stone can get you a month's stay. Do you gentlemen have any spiritual stones?"

  "What, want spirit ~, spirit stone? Isn't it paid with gold?"

  Ye Chen was stunned, he hadn't even seen what a spirit stone looked like before.

  "Go away! Without a spirit stone, what kind of inn can you stay in? Don't block the way for other guests."

  The little second one looked at them and saw that they couldn't take out the Ling Stone, so he waved his hand impatiently and drove them away.

  Ye Chen and the other two people left the small inn's entrance, standing on the street looking at each other in dismay.

  "What to do? No spiritual stone, and in the Immortal City, there's not even a place to stay!!"

  Wei Xunyu touched her own perfume sachet, inside there were only gold tickets and a few small pieces of jewelry, but these were things used by worldly people in the Wu Kingdom, no one wanted them here in this immortal city.

  "Even if I find a job in the city, it's unlikely that I'll be able to earn enough spirit stones in such a short time. Am I supposed to sleep on the streets for these few days?... If I can't earn spirit stones, it will be very difficult to stay here for long."

  Frowning in the cold, he was very embarrassed.

  Ye Chen also looked worried and unhappy, he thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

  "Right! Princess Wu said earlier that once we arrive at our destination, we can sell this Blood Jade Ring!"

  Ye Chen hastily reached into his pocket and pulled out a delicate Blood Jade Ring, exclaiming, "This is a non-flowing artifact refined by the State Preceptor Zheng Yuan, it should be worth some money. Let's sell it and see if we can exchange it for Spirit Stones! Come on, let's go find a place to sell it."

  "It's alright, it can't be helped for now!"

  Han nodded slightly in the cold.

  Ye Chen and the other two arrived at the bustling street, looking for those small vendors selling goods on stalls to inquire about the price of the Blood Jade Ring. Those grand and luxurious merchant associations, such as the Xian Ge Pavilion, were places that these few warriors did not dare to enter casually, fearing they would be chased out.

  "This Blood Essence Ring is quite ordinary, it can probably increase one's Qi and blood by about 10%. It should have been crafted by a Qi Refining stage cultivator... I'll give you three Spirit Stones for it!"

  A merchant glanced at the ring with narrowed eyes, sized up Ye Chen and his two companions' attire, shook his head and said indifferently.

  "Only three pieces of spirit stone? That's so cheap!"

  Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.

  "This is the lowest grade Blood Jade Ring, it's already good if you can sell it for three spirit stones! Go ask other vendors, they might not even accept it!"

  The small merchant said.

  Ye Chen retrieved the Blood Essence Ring and ran to other vendors to ask for prices. The highest offer was only three Spirit Stones, while some were only willing to pay two Spirit Stones, and others didn't even want to buy it. This low price made Ye Chen feel quite disappointed.

  "Never mind, just sell it then. Let's settle down in the city first."

  Ye Chen sold the Blood Essence Ring to a street vendor and got three pieces of Spirit Stone in return.

  He held the spiritual stone in his hand, feeling the ancient painting scroll of Xianfu Mansion warming up close to him. He made a slight movement in his heart, put one piece of spiritual stone into his pocket, and stuffed the remaining two pieces of spiritual stone into Yan Han's and Wei Xiangyu's hands.

  "These three pieces of spiritual stone, one for each of us. First, let's stay in a small inn within the Immortal City. Tomorrow, we'll go find work and earn more spiritual stones! One piece of spiritual stone is only enough to last a month, so within this month, we must quickly earn more spiritual stones. With these spiritual stones, we can buy the best rare medicinal materials to temper our bodies and cultivate ourselves, and make an all-out effort to break through the ninth layer of the Body Refining Stage!"
