Chapter 9: Inside the Imperial City

  Although Murong Ling's words were sincere, Shen Yuxi still maintained a hint of suspicion towards him. As the Sword Master of the Swordsmen class, Shen Dou was no match for Murong Ling, the mighty General Wuwu, who must have had many powerful friends and would not easily believe Shen Dou and let him help with the prison break.

  Since Shen Dou had already agreed, Shen Yu Xi didn't say much more, after all, she still didn't know what Mu Rong Ling's true intentions were.

  Murong Ling did not notice Shen Yuxi's thoughts and quickly cleaned up the scene, arranging for the two of them to enter the city.

  The streets inside the city are wide and crowded with people, the shops on both sides of the road are dazzling, there are those who sell sword manuals, cast swords, sell spiritual stones, sell practice stones, sell alchemy furnaces, and even beast pellets are sold by someone.

  Shen Du and Shen Yu Xi were no strangers to these things. Ling Shi was a must-have for swordsmen to upgrade, and Qi Shi was also an essential item for swordsmen. The use of Shou Dan was even more extensive. After being refined by the alchemist in the pill furnace, it not only doubled the swordsman's sword energy but also made the swordsman's physical strength more extreme. Some people even used Shou Dan to strengthen their weapons, armor and other equipment.

  But when they saw the price, Shen Du and Shen Yu were shocked. Those who sold sword manuals didn't count for much, as one could be bought with just a few gold coins;

  The price of a forged sword is not particularly expensive, and even a slightly better treasured sword would only cost one or two hundred gold coins.

  The key is the spiritual stone, the refining stone, the alchemy furnace, and the beast dan. A low-grade spiritual stone can actually be sold for 500 gold coins. To know that from sword hand to sword master requires ten spiritual stones, sword master to sword king needs a hundred spiritual stones, sword king to sword emperor needs five thousand spiritual stones, sword emperor to sword saint needs one hundred thousand spiritual stones, sword saint to sword immortal needs ten million spiritual stones, and sword immortal to sword venerable needs one billion spiritual stones.

  In this way, without mentioning the sword guest's talent, even if there is extraordinary talent, it would still require a huge amount of financial resources to break through the barrier of the Sword Emperor.

  As for the Cultivation Stones, they are divided into three levels: low, medium, and high. The low-level Cultivation Stones are used by swordsmen below the Sword Emperor, while the mid-level ones are used by the Sword Emperor, Sword Saints, and Sword Immortals. As for the high-level ones, they are naturally reserved for the Sword Venerables. However, in the City of Death, only low-level Cultivation Stones are available, each costing 500,000 gold coins. First update at the same time.

  Shen Du and Shen Yu Xi didn't dare look directly at him.

  Then there's the Alchemy Furnace and Beast Dan, which are a set of products from the same store. The Alchemy Furnace costs 100,000 each, while the Beast Dan has seven levels: Sword Hand, Sword Master, Sword King, Sword Emperor, Sword Saint, Sword Immortal, and Sword Venerable.

  For every level of beast dan, the price increases by more than a hundredfold.

  Shen Du grasped the giant sword on his back, this Sword King-level giant sword was probably quite valuable too. If he were to use Beast Dan to upgrade its level, who knows if it would unleash an even more terrifying power.

  Murong Ling seemed to see through their thoughts, and said lightly: "These are all treasures that every swordsman yearns for. In the City of Death, everything is available. For more and faster chapters, please go to..."

  "Is that so!" Shen Du replied indifferently. His waist pack was empty, and those treasures were naturally out of reach.

  Murong Ling glanced at those storefronts, then looked at the Shen siblings again, a faint smile appearing on his face.

  Shen Dou noticed Murong Ling's change in expression, but didn't know what he was thinking, and simply said lightly: "Actually, those things aren't anything. In the future, I'll definitely have something a thousand times better than that." Shen Yu Xi immediately heard it again, Shen Dou starting to brag, but only...

  Respond with a smile, without saying much.

  Murong Ling also smiled and said: "I believe you!"

  Shen Du gazed at Murong Ling's eyes, unable to detect a hint of suspicion.

  Very soon, Murong Ling brought his two siblings to the residence of General Murong.

  The courtyard of the General's Mansion is large and deep, with every carved pavilion and platform appearing extremely noble.

  Murong Ling arranged for them to stay in the noble guest rooms within the mansion, instructing the servants to attend to their needs. He then said, "I still need to arrange the defense of the city, so I won't be accompanying you two for now." After that, he turned to Shen Du and said, "Your injuries shouldn't be light, take good care of yourself and rest well. Once your injuries have healed, we'll begin our actions."

  "Thank you, General Murong, for taking me in," Shen Du replied with a smile. "I will definitely recover as soon as possible."

  Murong Ling heard this and was grateful again: "Then take good care of yourself. Update at the first time" After finishing speaking, he left.

  Shen Yu Xi watched as Murong Ling walked away, his back figure gradually disappearing from view. Although he was severely injured internally, his footsteps remained steady and firm, probably due to his long experience on the battlefield, having grown accustomed to being wounded.

  It wasn't until Murong Ling's figure completely disappeared that Shen Yuxi came back to her senses, pulling on Shen Du and asking: "Why did you agree with him?"

  Shen Du smiled and looked out the window at the cloudless blue sky, saying softly: "Because I want a wider blue sky, we are now weak and few in number. Every person who treats us as friends, we should cherish. If we have the ability to help our friends, why wouldn't we? Having one more friend is much better than having one more enemy, isn't it?" After finishing speaking, Shen Du looked at Shen Yu Xi seriously.

  Shen Yu Xi's face was expressionless, but that delicate face was still so beautiful, with snow-white skin radiating a glow. Only those originally clear eyes, when looking at Shen Dou, were filled with surprise. "Then you're certain he'll be our friend, not someone who carefully planned to harm us?"

  "I know that nothing is absolute. Some people were originally supposed to be friends, but because of some things, they ended up becoming enemies. Some people were originally supposed to be enemies, but because of some things, they ended up becoming friends instead. Any matter in the world depends on how the parties involved handle it." Shen Du said seriously.

  Shen Yu nodded thoughtfully and said in a light tone, "It seems I didn't understand you well after all. I didn't expect your thoughts to have reached such a level. However, you should know that the Great Sword Sect was destroyed by the Shen family because of the Shenmen Fifteen Swords. If the Great Sword Sect doesn't obtain the Shenmen Fifteen Swords, they will continue to investigate and eventually find out that the sword manual is with you. How will you handle it then?"

  "Hey, what's up? When they find out about our existence, it'll also be the day I go to Da Jian Men for revenge. If they don't come looking for me, I'll definitely kill my way into Da Jian Men and make them all surrender at my feet." Shen Du's face revealed a ruthless expression, his eyes gleaming with terrifying murderous intent.

  "This is a rare look in Shen Yu Xi's eyes, and he can't help but nod: "Hmm, although you're only at the Sword Hand level now, even if I were to spar with you, it would be hard for me to have a guaranteed win. Your progress is really fast." Shen Yu Xi was originally extremely talented and rarely praised anyone."

  "Haha." Shen Dou also didn't show any modesty, raising an eyebrow and saying: "That's a must, otherwise how can the Shen family be revived, how can the Shen family stand at the peak of Lingzhou!"

  "Alas!" Shen Yu Xi was extremely speechless at Shen Dou's pretentious words, and stopped bothering to talk to him. She went back to her own room to rest, and before leaving, she reminded Shen Dou in a soft voice: "You should take good care of yourself, add oil!"
