Chapter 676: Starfire Relay City

The Food Star Beast's blood can inevitably increase Bloodline Power, heal injuries, and even enhance life's vitality.

Martial Cultivators in the Yin-Yang Realm have greatly extended lifespans. Since Ye Liuyun entered the Yin-Yang Realm, he has felt a substantial increase in his vitality.

Now, nourished by this blood, Ye Liuyun feels his vitality continuously rising. At this rate, his vitality could reach the level of the Zhaohua Realm ahead of schedule.

"This Food Star Beast blood is truly a good thing!" Ye Liuyun decides that, if possible, he will try to reserve some of this blood for Liang Xue, his parents, his aunt, and others.

This huge pool of blood is enough for them to keep absorbing for several months. By then, further absorption would have little effect.

The remaining portion, he can keep as gifts for others.

And this blood is only about a third of what Ye Liuyun has obtained. Inside the Dragon Palace, a blood ice mountain still awaits their absorption.

The ones in the storage containers, Ye Liuyun plans to sell after reaching Yi Cheng, to acquire better warships.

According to Du Yan, the amount of blood in one container is enough to exchange for a warship several times larger. Warships differ from ordinary ships: they have weapons for defense and attack, a sturdier hull, and higher speed.

And Ye Liuyun filled four containers to the brim.

He intends to buy two warships, and convert the rest into Spirit Stones.

Du Yan's suggestion prevents him from selling a large amount at once.

The remaining blood can be sold later at another Yi Cheng. If sold all here, the large quantity would affect the price.

A few days later, as the warships approached Yi Cheng, Du Yan called Ye Liuyun and the others out, preparing to enter the city.

When Ye Liuyun saw Du Yan's mental state, he knew Du Yan and the others had used Food Star Beast blood.

These people's demeanor and Bloodline Power have improved considerably. Especially Du Yan, whose regressed realm has now recovered to Yin Yang Yi Chong.

"Indeed a good thing! No wonder it's a scarce resource," Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

"The Yi Cheng of the Xinghuo Domain is ahead," Du Yan said, pointing at a distant building to Ye Liuyun and the others.

This out-of-domain Yi Cheng stands in the sky like a floating fortress.

At the fortress gate, four large characters reading "Xinghuo Yi Cheng" are inscribed.

Those four characters were carved with sword intent by a person.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil noticed that the carver's sword intent should not be far inferior to his own blade intent.

"Out of the domain indeed there are many capable people!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help feeling a surge of awe.

At the top of the fortress, a radiant pearl shines, its light visible to all sailing ships from afar.

To Ye Liuyun's warship, this fortress is truly a colossal behemoth.

And that's only from the outside!

In fact, the interior space is even larger—likely due to a spatial Formation or something akin to a spatial treasure.

Each side of the fortress has three gates for ingress and egress, with a great flow of people.

Everyone who saw Ye Liuyun's warship kept pointing and commenting, their discussions nonstop.

Such a battered warship clearly shows it has been through a great battle.

Ye Liuyun and his group ignored the remarks, steering straight to the outside of the fortress before stopping.

After Bojiao and Li Sanniang strip away all usable parts, they will abandon the ship and enter the city directly.

"Ten high-grade Spirit Stones per person."

The guards at the gate keep shouting at those trying to enter the city.

"Ten high-grade Spirit Stones? Isn't that extortion?" some first‑time visitors couldn't help complaining.

"What do you know? Running a castle this size requires Spirit Stones everywhere. Just the glowing pearl atop the fortress consumes tens of thousands of high-grade Spirit Stones daily. If you find it pricey, you can simply not go in; no one forces you!"

The gate guards sneered at the cost‑concerned Martial Cultivators, then pointed to a large open area outside, saying, "There you can rest for free. No charge!"

Everyone looked in the indicated direction and indeed saw many crew members camping and resting there.

It was probably that the employer was unwilling to pay for them, so left them there.

Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun without hesitation paid Spirit Stones for each person.

Since everyone has arrived, he naturally wants to broaden everyone's horizons.

Ye Liuyun would never throw people outside.

If you have money, everyone goes in; otherwise, no one does. That's Ye Liuyun's principle.

Their party of sixteen paid a total of 160 high‑grade Spirit Stones. Even the little beggar wasn't left out, moving Ye Liuyun to repeatedly thank him.

This made many onlookers extremely envious.

That's incredibly wealthy; even a crew member at the Yuan Dan Realm was given ten high‑grade Spirit Stones.

Ten high‑grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for tens of thousands of Medium-grade Spirit Stones, which converted to ordinary Spirit Stones amount to tens of millions!

If exchanged for Crystal Stones, they could be piled into a small mountain!

Even the guards, seeing Ye Liuyun pay without hesitation, were somewhat surprised.

But he still followed the rules, giving each of them a Token to enter the city.

Ye Liuyun and his group, under the envious gazes of the crowd, all walked into Yi Cheng.

After passing the gate, they realized the scenery before them was vastly different.

The interior space of Yi Cheng is at least ten times larger than it appears from outside.

Inside, it resembles a massive city, with endless varieties of buildings.

Ye Liuyun was momentarily at a loss as to where to go.

"Follow me!" Du Yan stepped ahead, leading the group.

"I'm more familiar with this place; it's the Yi Cheng I've visited most, and I know a few acquaintances. Let's first book a ship so that any needed modifications won't waste time. Then, based on the schedule, we can decide the next arrangements."

Du Yan was also seeking Ye Liuyun's opinion. After all, Ye Liuyun is the principal employer, and major decisions must be made by him.

"The sooner we leave, the better!" Ye Liuyun suggested.

Du Yan smiled, "Actually, there's a shortcut to reach Zhongyang Dalu quickly!"

"Oh? What shortcut?" Ye Liuyun grew curious.

"Every relay city has a Teleportation Array that can send people to faraway places. However, that Teleportation Array can only be activated by the City Lord." Du Yan said this, then stopped and looked at Ye Liuyun.

"Teleportation Array?" Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun naturally felt excited. If he used the Teleportation Array to travel, he would surely reach Zhongyang Dalu much faster.

However, from Du Yan's words, it seemed the City Lord was not easy to meet.
