Xinhong scowled,...After several months, a towering city hundreds of feet high appeared before their eyes. Even from across the walls, one could feel the rich spiritual energy wafting from within this colossal metropolis.
>
This is Lan Ming City. Looking at this huge city, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel shaken. It enclosed most of a large island with walls spanning tens of thousands of miles. Such a grand scale and power were unprecedented for him. Even Wan Yue City paled in comparison to Lan Ming City before his eyes. This also showed the abundance of spiritual creatures in Lan Mo Sea Region, far surpassing that of Wan Yue Cultivation Realm.
Lanming City is also one of the many forces in the Lanmo Sea Region, and there is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in charge. There's no need to worry about the kind of scrutiny from Juimo Valley anymore. Moreover, several months have passed, and the area where the incident occurred has been almost thoroughly searched, causing complaints everywhere, but nothing substantial was found. Even if the people from Juimo Valley and Zitherwood Sect were unwilling, they could only give up continuing their search. After all, the interests of a sect cannot be solely controlled by a single Nascent Soul cultivator. Juimo Valley is fine because with the strength of its late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it can suppress things. But the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Zitherwood Sect cannot do whatever they please. They have to consider the feelings of other Nascent Soul cultivators.
In the end, Lu Xiaoteng managed to safely leave Luhe Island. When he had just killed Chi Jingbai, he was thinking of trading some of his artifacts for spirit stones, but now he didn't need them. After this incident, it was even more unwise to touch anything that belonged to Chi Jingbai, otherwise the people from Zhuimo Valley would easily find traces of him.
Like Lu Xia Tian, many Qi Refining cultivators chose to cross the tribulation in Lan Ming City. After arriving on the island, there was still a distance of over a thousand miles to the immortal guards under the city walls. At this time, with no conflicts of interest, many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators introduced themselves to each other, appearing friendly and kind. At this time, a white-haired old man came up to Lu Xia Tian and tried to get close to him.
"Greetings, I am Yu Ansheng. I wonder if you have also come to Lanming City to attempt the Golden Core realm" Yu Ansheng asked with a smile that seemed both polite and slightly guarded.
"Indeed, my name is Lu Xiaoteng." Lu Xiaoteng nodded.
"It's Lu Daoist! I didn't expect that at such a young age, you have already reached such an astonishing level. You are truly ambitious and talented, and it is very likely that you will succeed in forming the Golden Core." Yu Ansheng said with a hearty smile. "I wonder if your spirit stones are sufficient"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, what do you mean by this" Lu Xia Tian frowned. Asking someone for spirit stones out of the blue was a surefire way to offend them in any cultivation world.
“Lu Daoyou, don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions. It's just that the cost of renting the transit grounds in Lanming City is too high. For many of us foundation-building peak cultivators, preparing for the tribulation artifacts, after forming the golden elixir, our usable spirit stones are limited. However, Lanming City also has shared housing options where two or three people can share a place, taking turns to cross the tribulation. Although the rental cost is higher than a regular cave dwelling, when divided among everyone, it's quite a bit cheaper.” Yu Sheng explained.
"I see," Lu Xiaitian nodded understandingly. Looking around, he saw that there were quite a few cultivators like Yu An Sheng who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Yu An Sheng was right. Cultivators born as stragglers didn't usually have much wealth on hand. Forming a Golden Core and preparing for the tribulation required both powerful artifacts and pills, which cost a lot. The price of renting a cave dwelling in Lan Ming City was also extremely high, with a time limit. No one knew exactly when they would face their tribulation. Some cultivators even ran out of spirit stones before their tribulation day and were driven out by the people of Lan Ming City."
Even some unfortunate cultivators happened to be driven out during those one or two days, and they crossed the tribulation outside Blue Sky City.
"Fellow cultivator Lu, although cohabitation has some drawbacks, it also has its benefits. You can observe the tribulation experiences of other cultivators up close and accumulate experience for your own tribulation." Yu Ansheng also saw that Lu Xiaoxiao was dressed plainly, not like someone with great wealth, and worried that Lu Xiaoxiao would disagree, so he explained that he had previously gone through a tribulation together with another person. After the other person's tribulation, they simply left. Although Yu Ansheng was itching his teeth in anger, there was nothing he could do about it.
He couldn't afford the high rent on his own and was kicked out. At this time, Yu Ansheng felt that he was going through a tribulation in these few days and wanted to cheat a newcomer into renting together. After he overcame the tribulation and became a Jindan cultivator, he could leave as he pleased, leaving Lu Xiaoteng to figure things out himself at that time.
"No, I still have some spirit stones on hand. It should be enough to last until the tribulation." Lu Xia Tian shook his head and refused. When he went to Luohe Island, several waves of adventurous cultivators tried to rob and kill him, but instead, they were killed by him, confiscating a large amount of wealth. The fortune of that Blood-Faced Cultivator Chi Jingbai was even more astonishingly wealthy. He had almost no middle-grade spirit stones on hand, mostly high-grade ones, and even a few top-grade spirit stones. Top-grade spirit stones were rare treasures even for Golden Core cultivators, one top-grade spirit stone equivalent to one hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones. Only Yuan Ying ancestors could easily take them out. As for Chi Jingbai's magic weapons and other things, they couldn't be easily taken out, but the spirit stones weren't a problem at all. As for the tribulation, Lu Xia Tian had already seen Di Kun's thunder tribulation, and he was not a true novice either. Before coming, he had also learned about some of the rules in Lan Ming City. As long as he paid some spirit stones, he could go to other cultivators' caves and observe them going through their tribulations.
Upon hearing Lu Xiaoteng's refusal, Yu Sheng instantly looked disappointed. He politely chatted with Lu Xiaoteng for a few words and then went to find the next target.
There are quite a few cultivators like Yu An Sheng in the crowd. However, many of them are similar to Yu An Sheng's situation, with little time left before crossing the tribulation. It is more cost-effective to find some new arrivals. Otherwise, if the roommate they find crosses the tribulation before them in a few days, wouldn't that be a waste of effort
The Lan Ming City was vast in size, with numerous entry points. Lu Xiaotian arrived at a city gate and directly paid for two years' rent using spirit stones. This surprised the cultivator responsible for registration. Most cultivators would only stay for several months near the tribulation period, and some for over a year. It was rare to see someone like Lu Xiaotian paying for two years upfront. The young cultivator before him appeared generous in his spending.
After paying the spirit stones, upon entering Lan Ming City, Lu Xiaocen felt that the inside of the city and the outside were completely different worlds. The concentration of spiritual energy surpassed any place he had been to before. Looking back, Lu Xiaocen's face was filled with astonishment. As an array master, he naturally reacted at this moment. The towering city wall wasn't solely for defense against enemies, but a massive gathering array. It absorbed the spiritual energy from all over the world for its own use. Such a huge city, even for cultivators, it was unimaginable how much manpower and time it would take to construct. Such a grand scale, such an enormous array, how terrifying must the person who set it up be!
No wonder so many loose cultivators, even disciples of some smaller sects, want to come to Lan Ming City. Just this rich spiritual energy is enough to increase their chances of forming a golden core by nearly half. Even if it's only a small percentage, it's enough to attract many people.
