Chapter 1789
"Where is Late City?" He Pingsheng looked bewildered: "How far is it? In which direction?"
"Not far!"
Lian Nihong shook her head, smoothed out her fluffy hair, and then nudged her small mouth toward the front left: "It's in this direction. Hmm... when I flew there, it only took me one hour!"
One hour?
He Pingsheng thought that if a Divine Monarch flew for an hour, it couldn't be that far.
"I'll go ask!" He walked forward along the only main road in Shenmeng City.
Lian Nihong followed closely behind.
Generally, chambers of commerce would also provide such flight services.
He Pingsheng arrived at a shop and walked inside.
"Fellow Daoist!" He cupped his hands toward a woman behind the counter: "May I ask if your esteemed chamber of commerce has any flying boats heading out?"
"Of course we do!" The woman nodded and said: "Where do you want to go?"
Before He Pingsheng could speak, Lian Nihong, who was beside him, spoke up: "Late City!"
"Hey!" Hearing they wanted to go to Late City, the woman behind the counter was slightly startled and said: "That's not close... I should say it's very far!"
"Under normal circumstances, people from Late City don't come to our Shenmeng Mountain area to seek opportunities!"
"Our flying boats don't go there either!"
He Pingsheng frowned slightly: Very far?
"However!" Before He Pingsheng and the other could speak, the woman in the shop spoke again: "If the two of you can afford the price, we can charter a flying boat specifically for you!"
"How much divine gold?" Lian Nihong asked.
The woman thought for a moment and said: "Please wait a moment, I need to ask the head shopkeeper for the specific amount!"
After saying this, the woman left the counter directly.
Before long, she returned with a tall, middle-aged man wearing a green Daoist robe.
"You want to go to Late City?"
The man looked at He Pingsheng and the other.
He Pingsheng nodded.
"One hundred thousand!" The man said directly: "Because Late City is too far, logically speaking, every time we make the trip, we must charge a fee of one hundred thousand!"
"If you are willing to wait, it is one hundred thousand per person."
"But as for how long you have to wait, I can't say for sure!"
"Hehehe... I won't hide it from you two, under normal circumstances, waiting thirty or fifty years is possible, after all, there are really too few people going from here to Late City!"
Late City has its own places of opportunity, and people there generally don't come to Shenmeng Mountain.
And those who come to Shenmeng Mountain are all from the surrounding families.
It is understandable that there are few people.
"That won't do!" Lian Nihong couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour: "I need to leave immediately!"
"Hehehe..." The man chuckled and said: "That's possible... we can send you over in a short time, but you must pay the cost of the entire boat!"
He Pingsheng asked: "One million, right?"
"No!" The man shook his head: "It's two million!"
"You must also cover the return trip cost!"
Pfft...
Hearing this, He Pingsheng almost vomited blood.
For ordinary first-tier divine herbs, the average price is only about ten thousand per stalk.
I have to come up with two hundred stalks of divine herbs.
I don't have them!
Even if he did, he wouldn't want to spend them!
"This... sorry!" He Pingsheng looked both amused and frustrated: "Senior, I... don't have that much!"
Lian Nihong said: "No, I am leaving now!"
"Use the things on you as collateral, take everything out!"
"Don't worry, once I return to Yinbing Mountain, I will repay you a hundredfold for these trifles!"
"Can you do it?"
"I keep my word!" As she spoke, Lian Nihong patted her rather impressive chest.
"Hehehe..." Before He Pingsheng could speak, the shopkeeper beside them sneered and said: "Sorry, even if you gave me two million right now, I couldn't send you off!"
"You'd still have to wait a few months!"
Lian Nihong frowned: "Why?"
The shopkeeper said: "Because the Li family is looking for someone!"
"For the time being, no one is allowed to leave Shenmeng City!"
He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "The Li family... what... does that mean?"
"It means exactly what it says!" The shopkeeper sneered: "The Li family is the largest family around Shenmeng Mountain, besides the demon race!"
"The two of you should go back into the city and settle down first!"
"Oh, right!" After saying this, the shopkeeper waved his hand.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
Light condensed, and a human portrait appeared.
It was exactly He Pingsheng.
"Two of you... if you have seen this person, please inform us. This is the person our Li family is hunting!"
He Pingsheng feigned a careful look and asked: "What is this guy's name, and what is his cultivation?"
The shopkeeper said: "He is at the second layer of the Divine General realm!"
"As for his name, it seems to be He Pingsheng..."
"Ah?" He Pingsheng pretended to be serious and said: "Only at the second layer of the Divine General realm?"
"Lower cultivation than mine?"
The shopkeeper's expression was solemn: "Don't underestimate him. Although this fellow is only at the second layer of the Divine General realm, his combat power is extremely fierce. Not only did he kill the Li family's young master, Li Tianyu, who was at the peak of the Divine General realm, but he also killed a disciple of the Du family!"
"And it is said that his spiritual sense is also exceptionally powerful!"
Hearing this, He Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat: Good fellow, it seems Sanyuan was soul-searched before he died.
Sanyuan was his servant; he would never betray him under any circumstances.
Unless he was soul-searched, these things could not possibly be known by the Li family.
"Farewell!"
He Pingsheng took Lian Nihong and walked out of the shop.
Lian Nihong looked at He Pingsheng with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "You brat, there isn't a single word of truth in your mouth!"
"Didn't you say before..."
"Shhh, shhh, shhh..." He Pingsheng hurriedly signaled for her to shut up.
They had just walked out of the shop, and this woman was truly thick-headed.
"Let's go!" Lian Nihong pointed to a mountain not far from the small town: "We'll talk over there!"
The two of them left the small city.
Lian Nihong asked: "Is your spiritual sense very strong?"
"Oh... I forgot, you are an ascender; your spiritual sense is generally quite powerful!"
"I ask you... how many zhang can you expand it to now?"
He Pingsheng thought for a moment and said: "Eight thousand zhang, I suppose!"
He did not tell the truth!
Actually, when he had just ascended to the Divine Realm, he could already expand it to ten thousand zhang.
Now that his cultivation had broken through two layers to reach the third layer of the Divine General realm, his spiritual sense was even stronger, and at full capacity, it could reach nearly fifteen thousand.
"What a pity!" Lian Nihong sighed: "If your spiritual sense could exceed ten thousand zhang, even though your cultivation is still at the Divine General realm, you could learn the flight techniques of our Divine Realm!"
"It's a pity you only have eight thousand zhang!"
"Eight thousand zhang is not enough!"
"What a pity, what a pity!"
He Pingsheng's face turned black instantly: Damn you.
Can't this woman finish what she has to say all at once?
She always keeps people in suspense.
"Cough, cough, cough..." He Pingsheng coughed lightly and said: "About that... Senior... actually, sometimes when I am in good physical condition and have rested well, my spiritual sense can also exceed ten thousand zhang!"
"Heh... hehehe..." Lian Nihong sneered: "You ascenders are all more cunning than the last; none of you are easy to deal with!"
"Forget it!"
"Give me a blank jade slip, and I will copy a flight technique for you. Of course, you need to grasp some spatial laws!"
