After three days of traveling, Jiang Feng finally arrived at a city called "Mingyue City".
This city, under the jurisdiction of the Xuanhai Sect, is small, but it boasts a teleportation array leading to Kowloon City. Mingyue City, nestled against the mountainside, boasts towering walls and a majestic presence. The streets within are wide and clean, lined with shops and bustling with activity.
Jiang Feng arrived at the city gate and saw a group of people queuing up. There were several soldiers in front of the gate. One of them shouted, "Everyone line up for me. Each of you prepare ten medium-grade spirit stones to pay the entrance fee."
Just as Jiang Feng was about to pay the spirit stone, a tiger roared from a distance. Everyone looked over and saw a handsome young man riding on a giant tiger, followed by a dozen people, heading towards the city gate. Seeing this, the gate guard quickly drove everyone away and walked towards the young man with a flattering look on his face: "Young City Lord, you are back!"
The young man asked coldly, "Why are there so many people coming into the city today?"
The guard quickly replied, "Isn't this due to the Shenlong City auction? Some of the surrounding cultivators have come to borrow the teleportation array."
After hearing this, the young man led a group of people towards the city. At this time, a wandering cultivator asked: "Who is this young man? He is so impressive!"
Someone beside him explained, "You don't even know him. It's your first time here, right? He's the second son of the Mingyue City Lord, Ouyang Shaojie. He's an absolute genius! He reached the Golden Core Stage at the age of 20. His older brother, Ouyang Chifeng, is even more formidable, an inner disciple of the Xuanhai Sect."
Everyone took a deep breath. In the world of cultivation, talent and resources are very important. Some independent cultivators are still in the foundation-building stage after practicing for a hundred years or so, and can hardly make any progress.
Jiang Feng paid the spirit stones and walked towards the city. This was his first time in the city. The streets were bustling with all kinds of shops. There were also many mortals among them, but most of them were doing manual labor.
Jiang Feng stopped at a Yuelailou restaurant, and the waiter in front of the restaurant quickly came up to him and said, "Senior, do you want to eat or stay at the hotel?"
Jiang Feng took a look and said, "Open a room for me and prepare some food to be sent to the room."
The waiter looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Senior, this is the best restaurant in Mingyue City. Staying here costs 50 medium-grade spirit stones per night."
Jiang Feng was stunned. The prices were really expensive. In order to buy Chao Yuan Dan for his elder brother, the entire Huoyun Village could only gather a few high-quality spirit stones.
Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't say anything, the waiter reminded him, "Senior, it's absolutely safe to stay in our hotel. If you think it's expensive, there are a few small shops at the end of the street ahead."
Jiang Feng threw out a few high-grade spirit stones and said, "I'll stay for two days. Meals will be delivered to my room."
The waiter looked at the spirit stone with a beaming smile on his face, and led Jiang Feng to the second floor.
A moment later, the waiter brought over a table of food. Just as the waiter was about to leave, Jiang Feng stopped him, took out a top-grade spirit stone and said, "I ask, you answer. If I am satisfied, the spirit stone will be yours." The waiter nodded in agreement.
Jiang Feng asked: "How do you use this teleportation array to Shenlong City? Tell me about the auction in Shenlong City."
The waiter cleared his throat and said, "I think this senior is visiting Mingyue City for the first time. To use this teleportation array, you need to pay 20 high-grade spirit stones. Once there are enough people and a time is set, the teleportation will begin. Senior, please go and sign up first."
The waiter continued, "The auctions in Shenlong City are very exciting. There are auctions of all sizes every year, and they are organized by Tianbao Pavilion. Of course, there are also many people bartering and free traders, so it is very lively. There is an auction in a few days, and I heard that there will be a valuable treasure! What it is is beyond my knowledge, but I would like to kindly remind you, senior, that if you are auctioning a valuable treasure, it is best to hire a guard. The situation outside Shenlong City is not peaceful."
Jiang Feng took out a bag and said, "Could you please help me sign up, the extra money will be a thank you."
The waiter took the bag and bowed quickly.
Since acquiring the Jiuhua Pagoda, Jiang Feng hadn't yet properly liquidated his assets. Some of the treasures had already been gifted to several members of Huoyun Village. Jiang Feng's mind flickered, and the Jiuhua Pagoda appeared in his hand. After a moment's deliberation, he realized it was actually a magical artifact used to house demonic beasts. Jiang Feng was shocked.
The first level could hold mortal beasts, the second level could hold fierce beasts, the third level could hold divine beasts, and the fourth level, mutated divine beasts. Jiang Feng was very fond of this equipment. Although it lacked any offensive or defensive capabilities, it could be used to forcibly capture a beast when it was weak. Unleashing a large number of beasts during a battle would have unforeseen consequences.
Then Jiang Feng checked the spiritual stones in Jiuhua Tower and calculated his current resources.
A short sword of low-grade treasure, a beast-trapping lock and a mountain-splitting axe of medium-grade treasure, a flowing treasure ship of high-grade treasure, a recipe for a fourth-grade resurrection pill, the Nine Dragon Sword, three golden spirit fruits, one wood spirit fruit, two low-grade immortal stones, five top-grade spirit stones, 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, etc.
Jiang Feng secretly thanked Jiuhua Sword God in his heart. Going out is not possible without money!
The short sword and the splitting axe would be sold if possible, but as for Liu Guang's belongings, he dared not reveal them yet. He was most concerned about the coordination between the Nine Dragon Sword and the Nine Hua Sword Technique.
I'd see if I could find a satisfactory alchemy furnace at the Kowloon City auction. It would be even better if I could find a precious medicine like the Golden Spirit Fruit. Jiang Feng currently had three Golden Spirit Fruits, and he believed that if he had two more, he would be able to unlock his Golden Spirit Root, greatly increasing his strength.
