Chapter 778: Weiyi Market

October 10th, Baoguang Baoguang Fangjie Teleportation Great Array.

A middle-aged man with a square face, slightly sturdy features, and a short beard under his jaw stepped out from the teleportation great array.

After slightly distinguishing the direction, he flew toward Baoguang City.

This was exactly Xu Jin, who had teleported over from the Dongxuan Star Realm.

Before coming over, Xu Jin had already used the Hundred-Change Star Patterns to disguise himself and had also used Wood-type Star Power to sprout a little short beard. At this moment, even if Ning Yuchan stood in front of Xu Jin, she would not recognize him.

Only his back was slightly similar.

As for acquaintances from the Dongxuan Star Realm, even if the Yutang Prince Zhu Shizhen were present, he would not recognize Xu Jin at this time.

For the safety of this trip to the Baoguang Baoguang Fangjie, Xu Jin had specifically played an information gap.

After finishing all the tests in the Thunder Essence Star Realm, Xu Jin had practiced in the Thunder Essence Star Realm for several more days, consuming all the remaining thirty drops of Zhou Tian Star Dew in his hand, and after bitter cultivation for a few more days, he had barely managed to refine the Heaven-Earth Cloud Pavilion to the seventy-ninth layer.

Now, the cultivation aura Xu Jin displayed was based on the aura emitted by the Heaven-Earth Cloud Pavilion.

Coincidentally, Xu Jin's cultivation aura, as sensed by outsiders, was close to the late ninth tier or barely at the late ninth tier.

And before this, the information and intelligence from all sides in the Dongxuan Star Realm that were keeping an eye on Xu Jin only knew that Xu Jin had just broken through to the ninth tier.

But now, it was a late ninth-tier Xu Jin who was out strolling, and the danger was greatly reduced.

Besides this, there was the most important point, which was that he was no longer conspicuous.

For example, in this Baoguang Baoguang Fangjie, an eighth-tier peak cultivator wandering around would be very conspicuous and eye-catching.

But a late ninth-tier cultivator was too normal.

In the entire Dongxuan Star Realm or even the Tongxuan Domain, the number of mid-to-late ninth-tier and peak ninth-tier cultivators was the largest.

Many people were trapped at the peak of the ninth tier, bitterly accumulating wealth just to save up for good materials to forge a Natal Spirit Treasure, just to obtain the opportunity to break through to the tenth tier.

There were young people, middle-aged people, and even more people with half-white hair and beards.

If Xu Jin's cultivation had reached the mid-to-late ninth tier a few months ago when he took the Chaos material Millennium Purple Copper, the difficulty for the Zhenjun Tianfa Tianyang Zhenjun to find Xu Jin would have increased dozens of times.

However, with the increase in Xu Jin's strength now, his fear of the Zhenjun Tianfa Tianyang Zhenjun was not as great as before.

As long as this wave was handled well, his strength could advance greatly again.

At a normal flying speed, it took Xu Jin half an hour to fly to Baoguang Baoguang Fangcheng.

Even though Xu Jin had long known the scale of Baoguang Baoguang Fangcheng from intelligence, he was still taken aback when he saw it with his own eyes.

It was an entire giant trading city.

Shop signs were fluttering everywhere, and shop signs with strange styles and brilliant starlight were emerging one after another.

The goal, of course, was to attract more customers.

When entering the city, Xu Jin actively handed over an eighth-tier Star Jade Tablet; this was the city entry tax.

Baoguang Baoguang Fangcheng occupied a huge area, about fifty miles in radius, and was protected by a great array of starlight from all directions, including the top. One could only enter by paying taxes at the city gate.

But those entering were still endless.

The reason was only one: fighting was forbidden within the Baoguang Baoguang Fangjie, and there were True Monarchs sitting in town, which could ensure the safety of any buyer or seller in the city.

However, this was not the fundamental reason why many large commercial firms in the Dongxuan Star Realm or even the Tongxuan Domain all came here to do business.

The fundamental reason was the location and positioning.

Several hundred years ago, the earliest cultivator trading workshop cities were actually in large worlds like the Dongxuan Star Realm.

But at that time, bloody cases occurred frequently.

Especially when some Innate Precious Materials or large amounts of wealth appeared, bloody cases were inevitable.

After the bloody cases occurred, they were the kind where no results could be found, or rather, there was no way to investigate at all.

And they were impossible to guard against.

Let alone ninth-tier, even tenth-tier Star Monarchs, or even eleventh-tier True Monarchs—if you took Innate Precious Materials, you would still be robbed and killed!

Later, everyone realized what was going on.

Emperor Monarchs!

Those who made the move were nine times out of ten Emperor Monarch powerhouses.

Usually, investigating such cases was done by True Monarchs. How could you let a Tianyang Zhenjun investigate an Emperor Monarch?

Let alone not finding clues, even if clues were found, there was no way to verify them.

As for reaching the level of True Monarchs and Emperor Monarchs, power and authority became increasingly equal.

Once this was realized, the Baoguang Workshop Market in the Dongxuan Star Realm went bust, and no one dared to go there.

This was not just a tax revenue, but also the source of high-tier cultivation resources for cultivators in the Dongxuan Star Realm.

Now, because safety caused no one to dare to come, not only was less money earned, but the Innate Spirit Materials and Innate Precious Materials that were originally to be sold to the Dongxuan Star Realm did not come either; they all went to other star realms.

After all, resources were not as important as life.

In just over a dozen years, the Innate Spirit Materials and Innate Precious Materials obtained by cultivators in the Dongxuan Star Realm were not even one-tenth of the previous ten years.

Many Star Monarchs and True Monarchs had no hope of ascending their Natal Suppression Treasures and Natal Killing Treasures, so they could only run outside, and the tier of Natal Spirit Treasures forged by ordinary cultivators also plummeted.

This would not do.

This would directly cause the cultivation level of the Dongxuan Star Realm to drop by a large margin! ===== CHAPTER 779 =====
