Chapter 1643: Entering the city (8)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
However, Sky Emperor City’s influential powerhouses weren’t included within the restrictions so occasionally there were still flying ships and Falcon Snow Condors.
But Li Moying had just returned and had not grasped Sky Emperor City’s current situation hence he didn’t want to attract attention so they chose to silently descend while preparing to enter the city through the normal procedures.
Huang Yueli’s right hand raised and kept the flying ship into the Sky Phoenix Ring.
Ever since she advanced into fifth stage realm, Sky Phoenix Ring’s storage area had been upgraded several times becoming larger and larger. Now it was about the size of a small village so putting a flying ship in there was enough and had space to spare.
But to be able to have the space to keep a flying ship, even in Sky Emperor City, was something which was rarely seen. Huang Yueli’s move would inevitably attract the surrounding practitioners’ attention.
Huang Yueli didn’t want to attract trouble but such a large flying ship originally could not just disappear without a trace so attracting others’ attention was something which she couldn’t help.
Luckily, among their group included a ninth stage realm top exponent like Li Moying hence ordinary practitioners totally didn’t dared to create any trouble.
Even until they reached Sky Emperor City’s towering city gates, Luo Jiyun and the others were still looking around curiously.
“The few of you, please stay put and pay the entrance fee here. One high grade spirit stone for each person.” A guard stopped them.
Luo Jiyun gave a shocked expression, “One high grade spirit stone for one person! This is daylight robbery!”
Mo Yi and the others were speechless as well.
One high grade spiritual stone was equivalent to ten thousand low grade spirit stones, enough to buy an inferior quality third tier Profound Armament, just to enter the city once! This was just too extravagant!
However, Sky Emperor City had quite a number of gates and the human traffic everyday would at least incur several hundred thousands, wasn’t this too profitable!
When the guards heard their discussions, he couldn’t help but creased his brows. He saw them coming over from a large flying ship and had thought that they were some wealthy people. Why were they kicking up such a big fuss over the entrance fee?
“Gentlemen here, this the regulations of our Sky Emperor City. If you don’t pay the entrance fee, you cannot enter the city, please comply!”
Huang Yueli knew that this was the usual regulation and didn’t say anything as she casually retrieved a handful of high grade spirit stones from her space and handed them over to the guard.
The guard counted the amount and realised that there was actually more, which should be tips for him.
His attitude immediately changed and using an extremely polite tone, he continued, “Please head in ahead gentlemen, welcome to Sky Emperor City…..”
Luo Jiyun saw the guard’s attitude which had switched from arrogance to deference as his lips twitched and couldn’t help but mumbled softly, “Money can really make the devil turn the millstone…..”
Huang Yueli turned around in amusement as she educated him, “It’s just a high grade spirit stone, is it worth it for you to act in this way! Take this and be more generous in future, don’t embarrass your Eldest Senior Brother! Your Sister-in-law, I am not lacking in money!”
Saying that, she drew out a money sack as she tossed it into Luo Jiyun’s arms.
Luo Jiyun took a look and his eyeballs almost fell out.
“This…. this….” the sack was filled not only with high grade spirit stones, but an entire sack full of medium grade spirit jades. Each piece was worth ten thousand high grade spirit stones!
Luo Jiyun’s hands started shaking, “Sister-in-law, this…. this…. is worth too much…”
Huang Yueli gasped with exasperation as she said, “Just hold on to it! In Sky Emperor City, there are plenty of chances so most practitioners are extremely snobbish! If you want others to respect you, the best way would naturally be having enough ability. But now you’re still lacking a little so you cannot afford to be too petty, otherwise you’d be bullied by everyone.”
The few of them were just chatting when they suddenly heard someone calling out to them from behind.
