"Expensive?" Shen Qian was taken aback.
"I haven't had a chance to tell Major Shen yet that although the Earth's core is only open to martial artists above the Mountain and Sea level, it's not free to enter."
Zheng Lei explained, "The cost of staying here for a day is 100,000 Chinese Yuan or the equivalent in World Currency."
"One hundred thousand a day?"
He was startled before he sank.
He had never heard of any place where you had to pay to just stay.
But upon sensing the rich spiritual energy in the air, Shen Qian immediately felt relieved.
Although the spiritual energy here is far less concentrated than that of the Nine Kings Secret Realm, it far surpasses any town or city in China that Shen Qian has ever visited. One day of cultivation here is probably equivalent to ten days of cultivation on the surface.
Although the source of this spiritual energy is unknown, if it comes without any cost, I'm afraid no one would be willing to leave this place.
Without Zheng Lei's explanation, Shen Qian only needed to think about it deeply before he seemed to understand the significance of this rule.
If one wants to live a life of leisure and idleness, as a martial artist from the mountains and seas, one can enjoy a monthly stipend of 100,000, but that's only enough to live in a town on the surface.
Even martial artists from the mountains and seas would have to find ways to make money if they wanted to reach the Earth's core.
For martial artists from the mountains and seas, aside from the legal means, the most profitable methods are all in restricted areas and overseas.
This is not only about the rational allocation of resources, but also symbolizes that even mountains and seas cannot be obtained without effort, and serves as an invisible impetus.
No wonder he saw that all the powerful figures from the mountains and seas in this city were in a hurry; clearly, "time" had become a precious word here.
"After becoming a Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator, you can obtain a ten-day residency right in the Earth's core for free. Of course, due to the strong request of Major Shen's entourage, I have already allocated one day to him. Adding the day that Major Shen himself was deducted from, you still have eight days left."
Zheng Lei glanced at Dao Jiu and smiled, "Of course, if Major Shen doesn't agree, I can send Major Shen's entourage out now."
Chen Qian glanced at Dao Jiu, who looked embarrassed and ashamed, and waved his hand with a smile, "Why don't you just give him the remaining eight days of my life?"
A mere 100,000 a day is nothing to Shen Qian's wealth, so he naturally wouldn't care.
The three landed on the street and ventured deeper into the city. One of them, Shen Qian, asked curiously, "I see quite a few ordinary people in this subterranean city. How did they get in?"
