Chapter 1306

This guy, so stingy?

Yu Cixue watched Xiao Feng walk away, but didn't catch up.

She felt that this "One Sword Supreme" was quite strange, but couldn't say exactly what was strange about it for a moment.

"Forget it, if not added then not added, handsome men always come with lots of trouble, no acquaintance means light as a feather." Yu Cixue slightly shook her head and turned to leave.

……

Xiao Feng returned to the auction floor and waited a while.

Not long after, the steward came to find him.

"Fellow Daoist One Sword Supreme, all five of the Supreme Treasures you provided have been auctioned off; this is the transaction price list, and this is the Spirit Stone you earned from the auction, with the brokerage fee and tax already deducted." The steward handed him a list and a bag of Spirit Stones.

Xiao Feng glanced: the three first-rank spiritual treasures sold for 520,000, 580,000, and 680,000 respectively, not bad.

The two second-rank ones fetched high prices of 1,820,000 and 2,210,000.

The consignment fee for Supreme Treasures and equipment is 3% of the transaction price, plus a 2% transaction tax, altogether deducting over 290,000 Spirit Stones; after rounding, 5,520,000 Spirit Stones remain.

With this money, he need not worry about daily expenses for a short time.

But if he wanted to buy immortal crystals, it would only be enough for four low-grade immortal crystals, far from satisfying his needs.

"Let's go check out the Heavenly Capital Sword Tomb; I don't know if I can handle it alone." Xiao Feng took the money and directly left the market.

With his strength, clearing a dungeon is definitely no problem; the worry is encountering some special mechanisms that require multiple people to cooperate, which would be a pitfall, so he'd have to recruit passersby to join. Bringing in passersby would inevitably expose some things.

Moreover, for the level 500 resource dungeon, no one has ever cleared it first; once cleared, all teammates would get announced while he wouldn't—how laughable would that be?

The entrance to the Heavenly Capital Sword Tomb is in the "Twelve Heavenly Capitals," still quite far.

Xiao Feng left the market, summoned Da Bai, and flew toward a Teleportation Array.

"Big brother, what good stuff did you buy?" Da Bai knew he had stayed in the market for a while and asked curiously.

"I bought two cheap talisman papers to play with; mainly I sold some Supreme Treasures to raise travel funds, and incidentally heard news of an immortal crystal production site." Xiao Feng replied.

"Ah? There's news of immortal crystals? Let's hurry and dig it up!" Da Bai was a little excited.

Immortal crystals are also very precious in its eyes.

"Alright, let's go now. Are you familiar with the Twelve Heavenly Capitals in western Zhongzhou? If you are, that's best, so we don't wander aimlessly." Xiao Feng asked.

Da Bai hehe smiled: "Not familiar; there are too many cultivators in Zhongzhou, which is dangerous for us demon cultivators. Without a thick thigh to cling to, running around recklessly makes it easy to be caught and tamed into a mountain guardian spirit beast."

"Pah, truly cowardly!" Xiao Feng expressed disdain.

Not long after, the two arrived at the central Teleportation Array of the Primordial Imperial City.

Opening the teleportation list, a long row of teleportation options came into view.

Destinations include the thirty-six major cities within the Primordial Dynasty, the capitals of the other three great dynasties, eastern, western, and southern Zhongzhou, as well as two overseas immortal islands.

Not even counting the main cities of the other three great dynasties, one can imagine how extravagant the number of cities in the Nine Provinces is.

Xiao Feng chose to go to "Western Zhongzhou," which requires paying 1,800 Spirit Stones, still quite expensive.

But in order to earn immortal crystals, the expense is necessary.

Swish!

A flash of light swept over, engulfing his and Da Bai's figures.

When he could see the scenery clearly again, he found himself on an enormous open-air teleportation plaza.

This plaza was built on a mountain, created by flattening a huge peak; it covers over 20 square kilometers, and running from one side to the other takes four to five kilometers.

So many people?

Xiao Feng saw that the teleportation plaza had at least several hundred thousand people; every minute and second, many people took off from the plaza heading far away, while many others flew in from afar to be teleported elsewhere.

This foot traffic exceeds ten thousand per second!

Da Bai beneath him explained: "Although Zhongzhou is not occupied by the four great dynasties, its resident population is actually not inferior to any of them. Here sects stand in rows, masters are as numerous as clouds; every few thousand li there exists a decent sect, and with the arrival of you adventurers, the numbers naturally become extremely large."

Upon hearing the word "sect," Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask: "Da Bai, the sect you mean is probably the NPC sect, right? With so many sects here, the acceptable inheritances must also be many, right?"

Da Bai replied: "No, although those sects all have strong experts, the transmission of techniques and teachings is handled by the 'Transmission Hall'; only those who have made huge contributions and possess exceptional talent have a chance to be taken as personal disciples by the sect's bigwigs and directly receive the ultimate teachings. Although the chances should be greater than in the Yuan Su Shen Yu, when spread among adventurers, they should still be extremely rare."

"Hmm, makes sense." Xiao Feng nodded slightly.

The number of war zones in the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm is 104; if calculated proportionally to the population of the Yuan Su Shen Yu, it's estimated to be about 50 billion people.

With so many people competing for sect inheritances, even if the probability is far higher than in the Yuan Su Shen Yu, it still cannot be compared to the Chaos Immortal Realm.

Therefore, these 104 war zones here have not managed to make it into the top ten of the civilization index list.

Xiao Feng opened the map and saw that the Twelve Heavenly Capitals were still over 70,000 kilometers away from his current position; flying there on Da Bai would take more than an hour.

However, there is also a Teleportation Array there that can go directly, so there's no need to endure such a hard flight.

He used the Teleportation Array again to check the selectable list.

This time the selectable places are slightly fewer: only the capitals of the four great dynasties, eastern and western Zhongzhou, and place names within the regions of Chiyang Sect, Ri Yue Academy, Lihuo City, and Tian Du City, etc.

"Right, you said the strongest sect in the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm is called Yunchu Shan, located in Zhongzhou; why don't I see a teleportation option for Yunchu Shan?" Xiao Feng recalled something and asked.

Da Bai said: "Yunchu Shan isn't that easy to get to; that place is at the center of the earth, obvious on the map. Even a Huashen-stage cultivator might not be able to break in, because outside there are nine layers of great formations guarding it; only those who receive guidance, or truly super-powerful experts, can enter. If one rashly rushes in, they'll either come out dazed and confused, or be struck by the formation and die inside."

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.

Indeed, the map shows a marker for "Yunchu Shan," with large characters covering a vast area, no less than a 50,000-kilometer radius.

Rather than saying it's a sect, it's more like an independent small world.

If we can't go, we can't go; it doesn't matter. He's not Da Bai, so he doesn't care about any Fairy Maiden.

Xiao Feng chose to teleport to "Tian Du City," paying 300 Spirit Stones, and vanished on the spot.

Tian Du City is a large city built at the foot of the Twelve Heavenly Capitals Mountain; although its scale doesn't match that of the Primordial Imperial City, it's hardly different from the Divine Kingdom Royal City of the Yuan Su Shen Yu.

Xiao Feng walked out of the Teleportation Array, then directly rode a crane and flew up into the sky.

This city lies amidst the undulating strange terrain, built following the mountain contours, divided into three parts in total, staggered vertically and horizontally; the architectural style is full of Xian Xia colors, and at the highest part of the city near the mountain face stands a giant sword 800 meters tall, vertically planted in the ground.

Da Bai obviously knew this place and immediately introduced: "Big brother, look at that sword over there; it's not a cliffside stone carving, but an immortal treasure left by the first city lord of Tian Du City. It is said that if encountered by a predestined person, it will be reborn, shedding its stone skin to become a divine weapon, capable of ranking among the top ten swords under heaven."
