Chapter 518: The Prosperous Immortal City, Hard to Inhabit
Chapter 518: The Prosperous Immortal City, Hard to Inhabit
Canglan City is one of the most bustling cities in the Xiao Cang Realm.
At the heart of the city stands a Transmission Jade Platform, connected to the teleportation array in Star City.
However, due to the significant energy consumption required to activate the array, the platform only comes to life after a considerable interval.
On this particular day, the Transmission Jade Platform suddenly emitted a brilliant light, visible across the entire city.
Seeing this light, many merchants in the city immediately grew excited.
"Are there cultivators from outside visiting Canglan City?"
"Quick, hurry over and make sure to bring the guests to our shop!"
"Last time, Jewel Flavor Tower got the upper hand. This time, we can't let them win again!"
"Hurry, bring out all the magical treasures from the shop. We might have some big customers coming!"
"Those nearly expired pills, take them out of the warehouse immediately. We have a distinguished guest arriving!"
...
With these commands, many people rushed toward the Transmission Jade Platform.
After all, the cultivators who travel through the starry skies are not only powerful but also very wealthy, making them the best clients!
"Is this the Xiao Cang Realm?"
On the Transmission Jade Platform, Lu Qing felt the incredibly dense spiritual energy surrounding him and was momentarily stunned.
It wasn't just because the spiritual energy here was so dense; it was also incredibly pure.
Compared to his homeland, the spiritual energy here was at least ten times stronger!
"If I can't enter the Tianyuan Grand World for now, at least my cultivation has a chance to advance further."
Lu Qing was pleasantly surprised.
Indeed, the outside world is full of wonders and surprises.
Initially, he had been thinking about how to quickly enter the Tianyuan Grand World.
But now, he realized there was no need to rush.
Previously, Lu Qing had felt a bit regretful about spending those three mid-grade spirit stones. Now, he thought it was well worth it.
Not only did he gain the transmission of the teleportation array, but he could also cultivate in such an excellent environment. It was truly a great deal!
"The spiritual energy here is so dense!"
Xiao Li and Wu Xing were also amazed by the dense spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in this city was even more concentrated than in their secluded cultivation caves on Holy Mountain.
No wonder Qing always wanted to come out. Cultivating in such an environment, one's cultivation would naturally soar!
"Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"
While Lu Qing, Xiao Li, and Wu Xing were marveling at the dense spiritual energy, others had already walked off the Transmission Jade Platform.
A middle-aged man, responsible for overseeing the platform, noticed Lu Qing standing there in a daze and asked with concern, assuming he might not have withstood the pressure of the teleportation array.
"Oh, I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Senior."
Lu Qing snapped back to reality and immediately thanked the middle-aged man.
The man's aura indicated he was also a Core Formation Realm cultivator, which made Lu Qing inwardly marvel.
He hadn't even officially entered the Tianyuan Grand World yet, and Core Formation Realm cultivators were already as common as dirt.
No wonder the demon cultivator had said that, even as a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator, he was only considered a mid-level cultivator in the Tianyuan Grand World.
"Senior, would you like to stay at an inn? The spiritual food at Jewel Flavor Tower is unparalleled, not only in taste but also in its supreme nourishing effects.
It can strengthen your body and soothe your soul, greatly benefiting your cultivation!
Our guest rooms are equipped with high-grade spirit gathering arrays, making cultivation much more efficient!"
"Senior, would you like to purchase magical treasures? The treasures crafted by Mystic Weapon Shop are all top-notch and will definitely satisfy you!"
"Esteemed immortal, this is the Eternal Spring Pill from our Marvelous Pill Pavilion. It has the effect of eternal youth..."
Just as Lu Qing was about to step down from the jade platform, he suddenly noticed a group of people appearing out of nowhere.
They were pulling at the cultivators who had just arrived with him, constantly smiling and recommending their goods.
The strange sense of déjà vu made him pause again.
If not for the fact that the lowest cultivation level among these people was the Cultivation Realm, he might have thought he had returned to his previous world.
He turned to the middle-aged man and asked, "Senior, what is this...?"
The middle-aged man glanced down, then said nonchalantly, "These are some merchants from the city. If you want to find lodging or buy magical artifacts or pills, you can approach them, just be careful not to be cheated."
Lu Qing's heart sank.
By saying to be careful not to be cheated, the middle-aged man implied that these people were likely to deceive customers.
"From the look on their faces, it's clear that they are used to this."
Lu Qing thought to himself.
However, he didn't show any reaction on his face. Instead, he respectfully bowed to the middle-aged man.
"Thank you for the warning, Senior."
With that, he walked down the platform.
As for Xiao Li and Wu Xing, they had already shrunk in size and hidden inside his clothes, making them invisible from the outside.
The middle-aged man watched Lu Qing's back for a moment, but in the end, said nothing. He closed his eyes and continued his duties.
After descending from the jade platform, Lu Qing naturally received the enthusiastic greetings of the merchants.
However, he was far from wealthy. His pockets were nearly empty.
So he had to politely decline their offers, push through the crowd, and walk away.
Leaving the transmission jade platform, Lu Qing decided to wander around the city for a while to get a feel for this new world.
Half an hour later.
After touring Canglan City and spending a minor magical artifact he had crafted to ask a Cultivation Realm cultivator on the street, Lu Qing found himself in a difficult position.
"Truly, this is one of the most prosperous areas in the Dagyuan Immortal Region. Everything here requires spirit stones."
Lu Qing had learned that the majority of the residents in Canglan City were cultivators. Therefore, almost all transactions were conducted using spirit stones.
Whether it was for lodging, purchasing magical artifacts or pills, or even just for food and drink, everything was paid for with spirit stones.
For example, he had inquired at an inn. A simple room for one night cost one low-grade spirit stone.
As for the higher-quality rooms, they were ten times more expensive, costing ten low-grade spirit stones per night.
"Who would have thought that in my home world, low-grade spirit stones, which are considered strategic resources by many cultivation sects and are too precious to use casually, are just ordinary currency here.
A single expensive meal might deplete an entire sect's reserves."
Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Originally, he had planned to inquire about the conditions for entering the Tianyuan Grand World.
But now, it seemed that was secondary.
His immediate priority was to find a way to earn some spirit stones.
Otherwise, with the few spirit stones he had left, it wouldn't be long before he and Xiao Li and Wu Xing would be homeless, unable to even afford a meal.
