Chapter 781: Chapter 517: The Bustling Immortal City, Difficult to Settle In
Canglan City is one of the most prosperous cities in the Little Cang Realm.
Meanwhile, at the center of the city, there is also a Transmission Jade Platform, linked to the Transmission Array of Star Sky City.
However, due to the high consumption when opening the Transmission Array, it usually remains inactive for some time before showing any activity.
On this day, the Transmission Jade Platform suddenly emitted a bright light, visible throughout the entire city.
Upon seeing this light, many merchants in the city were instantly ecstatic.
"Are there foreign cultivators coming to Canglan City?"
"Hurry up, get over there at once, and make sure to bring the guests to our shop!"
"Last time, Treasure Flavor Building rushed ahead; we absolutely can’t let them succeed again this time!"
"Quick, take out all the Magical Treasures from the store; we might have important clients coming!"
"And those elixirs about to expire, quickly retrieve them from the warehouse; valued guests are arriving!"
...
With one order after another, many people hastened towards the Transmission Jade Platform.
After all, those foreign cultivators capable of traveling through the stars.
Not only are their cultivation levels powerful, but their wealth is often extremely abundant; they are the most ideal clients!
"Is this the Little Cang Realm?"
On the Transmission Jade Platform, Lu Qing was slightly dumbfounded as he felt the incredibly rich Spiritual Energy around him.
It was simply because the Spiritual Energy in this Little Cang Realm was too dense.
Though it’s also a Small World, the richness and purity of Spiritual Energy here are more than ten times stronger than his homeland.
"In this way, even if I can’t enter the Heavenly Origin Great World for now, there’s hope for further advancement in my cultivation."
Lu Qing was very pleased in his heart.
Indeed, the world outside is fascinating, full of surprises everywhere.
Originally, he was pondering how to quickly enter the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Now it seems there’s no need to rush.
Previously, Lu Qing felt distressed over the three Middle Grade Spirit Stones; now he thinks the stones were well worth spending.
Not only did he receive the Teleportation Array inheritance, but he can also cultivate in such a good environment, absolutely worth every penny!
"Such rich Spiritual Energy!"
Little Li and Qing were also shocked by the dense Spiritual Energy around them.
The Spiritual Energy in this city exceeds even the Cave Mansion they cultivated in on the Holy Mountain.
No wonder Ah Qing always wanted to come out; in such an environment, it’s no wonder the cultivation advances rapidly!
"Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"
While Lu Qing and the others were surprised by the surrounding Spiritual Energy, looking as though they hadn’t seen the world.
Others had already walked off the Transmission Jade Platform.
A middle-aged man responsible for watching over the Jade Platform saw Lu Qing standing there in a daze, assuming he couldn’t withstand the pressure of the Transmission Array, and asked with concern.
"Oh, junior is fine, thank you for your concern, senior."
Lu Qing came back to his senses and immediately thanked the middle-aged man.
The aura revealed by the other party was also that of a Golden Core Realm expert.
This made Lu Qing secretly sigh.
He hadn’t even officially entered the Heavenly Origin Great World and yet, Golden Core Realm seems as though it’s not worth much, encountered so casually.
No wonder the Demon Cultivator said that though he was in the Primordial Spirit Realm back then, in the Heavenly Origin Great World, he was just a mid-level cultivator.
"Senior, would you like to stay at our Treasure Flavor Building? Our Spirit Food is unparalleled, not only visually appealing and delicious but also has supreme nourishing effects.
It can nourish the Magic Body and warm the Divine Soul, being greatly beneficial to cultivation!
The guest rooms are equipped with high-grade Spirit Gathering Array, making cultivation twice as effective!"
"Senior, are you considering purchasing Magical Treasures? Every item at our Mystic Device Workshop is a精品, absolutely satisfying you!"
"This, Fairy, is our Miao Dan Pavilion’s Chang Chun Pill, which has the effect of preserving youth forever..."
Just as Lu Qing intended to walk down the Jade Platform.
Suddenly, he saw a group of people appear out of nowhere.
Pulling the cultivators who had just transmitted alongside him, they kept recommending their goods with ingratiating smiles.
The oddly familiar feeling made him pause once more.
If it weren’t for the fact that the cultivation of this emerging group was at least at the Qi Refining Realm, he’d really think he had returned to the world of his past life.
He turned to ask the middle-aged man: "Senior, what’s going on here?"
The middle-aged male glanced below and said indifferently: "These are some merchants from this city; if you wish to stay or purchase Magical Treasure Elixirs, you may seek them out. Be careful not to be deceived."
Lu Qing’s heart trembled.
The middle-aged man advised caution against deception, implying these people could very likely deceive customers.
"Judging by this man’s demeanor, it’s clear he’s habituated to such matters.
It seems that Canglan City isn’t exactly peaceful."
Lu Qing mused to himself.
But he displayed nothing on his face, only respectfully bowed to the middle-aged man.
"Thank you for your warning, senior."
Having said that, he walked downward.
As for Little Li and Qing, they had already shrunken themselves and hidden within his clothing.
From the outside, one couldn’t discern their presence at all.
The middle-aged man watched Lu Qing’s back for a while, finally said nothing, silently closed his eyes and continued his duties.
After descending the Jade Platform, Lu Qing naturally received enthusiastic greetings from those merchants.
But in his current financial state, though not completely destitute, he was certainly cash-strapped.
So he could only politely decline one by one, squeeze through the crowd, and walk away.
Upon leaving the Transmission Jade Platform, Lu Qing intended to stroll through the city for a while, familiarize himself with this realm’s circumstances first.
An hour later.
After Lu Qing toured Canglan City and spent one of his self-crafted Magic Artifacts to inquire with a street Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.
He found himself in a predicament.
"Worthy of being one of the most prosperous places in the Great Origin Immortal Domain, indeed, Spirit Stones are needed everywhere."
Lu Qing had just learned that in Canglan City, the majority of residents are cultivators.
So trading among them is almost entirely conducted in Spirit Stones.
Whether it’s lodging, buying Magical Treasure Elixirs, or even eating and drinking, Spirit Stones are expended.
To say nothing else, just for lodging, Lu Qing asked in an inn.
Staying a day in the most ordinary room costs a Lower Grade Spirit Stone.
As for those high-standard superior rooms, they cost ten times more.
Just for one day’s stay, ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones are needed.
"Didn’t expect that in the homeland world, Lower Grade Spirit Stones, regarded by multiple Cultivation Sect as strategic resources, extremely precious and sparingly used.
In this Canglan City, are merely ordinary currency.
Eating a more expensive meal might consume an entire sect’s full reserves."
Lu Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.
Originally, he wanted to inquire about the conditions to enter the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Now it seems those are secondary.
The urgent task at hand is finding a way to earn some Spirit Stones quickly.
Otherwise, with just the few Spirit Stones remaining in his possession.
In a few days, he and Little Li, might have to sleep outdoors and be unable to afford meals.
