854. Chapter 852 Journey to Dream Source City

The battle raged; inside the tavern, the situation shifted instantly, cultivators fled to clear a space. Lu Yuan and Su Liyan worked in perfect sync, covering each other, turning defense into offense, gradually pressing the pressure onto their foes.

Unexpectedly, one of the opposing cultivators was pierced through the heart by Lu Yuan's lightning-fire sword and collapsed dead on the spot.

The remaining two were shocked, immediately turning to flee.

But how could Lu Yuan let this chance slip? He swiftly deployed the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, trapping the two within.

Let us go!

The two cultivators screamed in terror, but Lu Yuan ignored them, coldly staring as he awaited their next words.

Su Liyan slowly approached the enemies trapped in the formation, her Ice Crystal Long Whip emanating a chilling aura.

Tell us the exact location of the Profound Heaven Sect's main sect, or bear the consequences!

Her voice was ice-cold, showing no mercy.

Faced with desperation, the two cultivators could only grit their teeth and endure.

We cannot speak, or we will be in danger!

They desperately resisted the formation's bonds, but could not break through.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows; he did not wish to condemn them to death.

Su Liyan, let them go for now; we'll search for clues to the Profound Heaven Sect's main sect ourselves.

He took a deep breath, resolved to find his way forward in this challenging Dream Source City.

Su Liyan nodded, retracted her Ice Crystal Long Whip, dispelled the formation, and released the two cultivators.

The two scrambled to their feet, fled the tavern in haste, daring not to look back.

During the ensuing journey, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan frequently encountered bandits, deeply sensing the perilous environment of Central State.

They decided to abandon aerial travel and instead move swiftly on the ground.

After half a month of arduous travel, they finally reached Dream Source City.

The city was vast, its walls covered with powerful formations, making them feel the immense energy contained within.

Upon entering Dream Source City, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan felt a mysterious power enveloping the entire city.

They involuntarily halted, looked up, and carefully examined the formations on the city walls.

The spiritual energy circulating within the formations seemed almost alive, causing hearts to race and minds to wander.

The city's formations are arranged with remarkable ingenuity.

Su Liyan whispered in admiration, her eyes fixed on the shimmering light dancing within the formations, glittering with curiosity and awe.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, staring at the runes within the formations, trying to discern their secrets.

This formation is no simple matter; it appears to have been meticulously designed by an experienced formation master.

After paying the fee, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan finally obtained their entry permits and stepped into Dream Source City, a city brimming with mysterious power.

Within the city, the cultivation atmosphere was strong; cultivation caves and medicine shops lined the streets, conveying the cultivators' enthusiasm and focus.

Strolling through the city, they happened upon a medicine shop and entered.

Inside, a rich medicinal aroma permeated the air; various precious pills were displayed on shelves, gleaming with tempting light.

A clerk in a green robe was busy arranging goods; upon seeing Lu Yuan and Su Liyan enter, he gave a slight nod.

Are you new cultivators?

Do you need some pills to boost your cultivation?

The clerk asked, his tone not very enthusiastic yet still showing the shop's zeal.

Lu Yuan looked at the pills on the shelf, smiled, and said: 'We are first-time visitors to Dream Source City; we want to learn about the situation here.'

May I ask where the Steward's Office is?

A flicker of doubt crossed the clerk's eyes, but he still told them the location of the Steward's Office.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan thanked the clerk for the guidance, left the medicine shop, and headed toward the Steward's Office.

Inside the Steward's Office, people came and went, with various shops standing side by side.

Lu Yuan found a relatively idle attendant and inquired about information concerning the city and its services.

The attendant detailed Dream Source City's cultivation resources and consumption situation, including cave rentals, medicine purchases, and treasure exchanges.

Here, cave rents and medicine prices are relatively high, but the quality is top-notch.

The attendant spoke rapidly: 'If you wish to enhance your cultivation, it's best to seek those reputable medicine shops; although the prices are higher, they are absolutely worth it.'

Lu Yuan nodded, mentally calculating whether to buy some medicines to boost his cultivation.

Su Liyan hesitated slightly, knowing her cultivation path was somewhat special and not all medicines suited her.

Moreover, regarding treasure exchanges, if you have need, you can visit the Treasure Exchange Market at the city's center, where various precious treasures and immortal artifacts gather.

The attendant continued his introduction.

After hearing the attendant's detailed introduction, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan gained a clearer understanding of Dream Source City's situation.

They decided to first explore medicine shops to see if any suitable medicines were available.

The two passed through the bustling streets and arrived at a renowned medicine shop.

Inside, the shop was brightly lit; various colorful medicines were neatly arranged, releasing enchanting light.

The medicines here look quite good.

Su Liyan whispered, gazing at a bottle of jade-colored medicine, seemingly drawn by the energy it emitted.

Lu Yuan nodded beside her, also feeling great interest in these medicines.

He stepped to the counter and asked the shop owner about a medicine called Spirit-Congealing Pill.

This is our shop's signature medicine, which has a significant effect on enhancing cultivation.

The shop owner confidently introduced it, saying: 'However, the price is also relatively high; I wonder if you have considered it.'

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "We'll try a few bottles."

Su Liyan also expressed agreement, believing these pills would help their cultivation.

When Lu Yuan took out enough spirit stones to pay, the shopkeeper placed several bottles of 'Spirit-Congealing Pill' into an exquisite box and handed it to them.

The two received the box, their hearts full of anticipation.

They decided to try these pills first to see how effective they are.

Next, Lu Yuan decided to rent a cave dwelling to better cultivate and explore Dream Source City.

The attendant was surprised by his financial means, but quickly indicated the available cave dwelling locations for him to choose from.

Lu Yuan chose a cave dwelling near the market town, deciding to rent it for two months first.

He paid 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones as rent, and was told he could renew or top up the spirit stones at any time.

The attendant also explained the function of the Dream Source Token and marked the location of the cave dwelling.

'This cave dwelling's location is excellent, close to cultivation resources, and the surrounding environment is also good.'

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan and gave an encouraging smile.

Lu Yuan nodded, his heart full of anticipation for future cultivation.

After leaving the steward office, Lu Yuan found the rented cave dwelling, discovering the conditions were relatively modest. (End of chapter)
