Biyun Fairy City is the exclusive fairy city of Biyun Sect and is also one of the best gateways for cultivators to enter the Yunluo Mountains.
Among the three sects and three schools in the Yunluo Mountains, each school has a fairy city, which is not only the node for entering the mountains, but also the largest transit station for the major sects.
"The entrance fee is one spirit stone."
After three months of traveling, Jiang Yun, wearing a bamboo hat, finally arrived at this fairy city. Biyun Fairy City was to the west of Ziyun Market, some distance away from Ziyun Market where Jiang Yun had been staying for a while.
However, the prosperity of the latter was far beyond comparison. Jiang Yun, after paying a spirit stone, followed the line of cultivators into Ziyun Immortal City.
"Master, would you like me to help you get familiar with the Immortal City? I only need one low-grade spirit stone."
After Jiang Yun entered the city, he was surrounded by several mortal guides in silk robes. Although they were all mortals, they were basically all warriors at the Xiantian realm.
"Choose me, Master, choose me. I've lived here since I was a child. Choose me!"
Seeing that everyone was vying to recommend him, Jiang Yun randomly pointed to a young man he liked.
"It's you."
"Alright, Immortal Master, my name is Xiangzi, you can just call me Luo Xiang. You made the right choice. I'm familiar with every part of the four cities of Biyun Immortal City."
"Oh? I see that you have more guides than new monks. Why don't you lower the price a bit? Wouldn't that make it easier for us to agree?"
Jiang Yun thought about the scene just now and asked with some doubt:
"Hehe, Immortal Master, you're joking. This price has been clearly marked for many years. Who dares to lower it? Take the entrance fee for example. The entrance fee for the six cities of Yunluo is one liter. This is the rule when the immortal city was established."
"As for us mortals who just want to make a living, after receiving this spiritual stone, we still have to hand over half to the Government Affairs Hall of Biyun City. At least we won't even have food to eat."
Jiang Yun then realized that these mortal guides also had to pay taxes. He immediately became interested in the basic structure of Biyun City and asked:
"What other administrative agencies are there in Biyun Fairy City?"
"That's a lot, but there are two places that are actually managed," Xiangzi cleared his throat, walked slowly along the street with Jiang Yun, and continued:
"The first one is the Government Affairs Hall. I heard that the person in charge there is the Golden Core Patriarch. Usually, the taxation of the Immortal City is handled by this department."
"There's also the Law Enforcement Department, which manages the order of the entire Immortal City and investigates demonic cultivators. The cultivators who can enter the Law Enforcement Department are all highly skilled in immortal techniques."
"The rest are all the shops that started with the Biyun Immortal Sect and sell books, elixirs, magical instruments, and other items. I heard that behind each shop is a lineage from the Biyun Mountain Sect. Ordinary casual cultivators must not offend them."
"I don't know if the Immortal Master plans to stay in the Immortal City for a long time, or buy and sell magical instruments and elixirs."
"I won't be staying long, but I'll probably stay for a few days. Or for a while?"
Jiang Yun was not sure whether the monks of Biyun Sect would accept his Immortal Seeking Order after five and a half years.
"Then I'll take the Immortal Master to an inn first. You're not allowed to stay on the streets without reason in the Immortal City at night."
After Luo Xiang finished speaking, he began to speed up, and Jiang Yun followed him easily. They followed the main road of the city gate and soon arrived at an inn.
"There's an inn. What a great name."
Jiang Yun looked at this inn with an ordinary name but a good location and thought it looked quite nice from the outside.
"Hey, Master, this inn is an old one in the Immortal City. Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance. The service inside is first-class, and the food is also good. The key is the preferential price. You only need one spirit stone to stay for a whole day."
Luo Xiang walked into the inn with ease and said to the innkeeper standing there:
"Manager Feng, we have a distinguished guest staying at our hotel."
"Okay, here comes a distinguished guest, one room upstairs!"
As the shopkeeper Feng shouted, a waiter soon came and took Luo Xiang and Jiang Yun to a room on the second floor.
"Not bad," Jiang Yun nodded as he looked at the clean and tidy environment inside.
"Master, I don't know where I'll go next. According to the regulations, I'll be there at your beck and call within three hours." Luo Xiang said respectfully:
"Is there anyone selling seeds of spiritual herbs and medicines?"
"Yes, the best one is the official Spiritual Planting Hall of Biyunmen. It is backed by the spiritual plant lineage of Biyunmen. When immortal masters buy spiritual medicines, herbs, and rice here, they are guaranteed not to be cheated."
"Okay, then let's go to Lingzhi Church."
Luo Xiang quickly led Jiang Yun out of the inn and headed towards the Lingzhi Hall in the east of the city. As they walked, Luo Xiang introduced:
"The Immortal City is divided into four cities. The East City is home to some large shops, which are generally run by major sects. The goods here are abundant and of guaranteed quality. The only problem is that they are quite expensive."
"West City is where independent cultivators often hang out. It has the largest market in the city, and many independent cultivators set up stalls there. Prices vary greatly, so it's a real test for the Immortal Master's taste. Even fake goods are common there."
Hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask:
"Doesn't the Law Enforcement Department care?"
"Hehe, if it's too extreme, of course it's not okay, but a lot of fakes are also half-real and half-fake. For example, there are pills that claim to allow you to advance in one level, but what if you don't advance after taking them? Isn't it possible that your foundation is weak, so you can't advance? As for those poisonous pills that kill you after taking them, they are of course the main targets of the Law Enforcement Department."
"Interesting, that's true." Jiang Yun thought it made sense. Some things are inherently uncertain, so if you don't have a good eye for them, you'll end up losing money if you buy them.
Seeing that Jiang Yun was listening with great interest, Xiangzi continued:
"North City is the Government Affairs Palace, the Law Enforcement Department, and the residence of the Biyun Sect's immortals. Normally, they only come here when they need to deal with the Biyun Sect, so I don't know the specific details."
"South City is mainly a residential area. All the foreign cultivators who buy houses in the Immortal City live in South City. The younger ones live in South City."
"How much does a house here cost?"
Jiang Yun heard that he could buy a house here, so he quickly asked:
"Take the house I live in as an example. It's on the edge of South City, and most of the residents are early-mid-stage cultivators and mortals like me. A house costs about 5,000 low-grade spirit stones. And there's a fee of 10 low-grade spirit stones every year. If you don't pay for five consecutive years, the house will be taken away."
"There is also property tax?" Jiang Yun instantly lost his composure. He didn't expect that after traveling to the world of Rest Milk, there would be property tax.
"Hehe, Master, that's a very fitting description. I work hard every day just to be able to pay the property taxes. This house was left to me by my parents."
"Well, it's really not cheap." At this price, it is indeed not easy to live in the fairy city. Just as Jiang Yun was thinking, Luo Xiang said:
"Master, we have arrived at Lingzhi Hall."
