Lu Li wanted to go to the city as well but he didn't know where it was.
He pondered for a moment before sending a telepathic message, "Sir, may I ask which direction the city is?"
"Fly to the northwest for 10 days or half a month. There is a Black Tortoise City there!"
By the time Lu Li heard the voice, the Winter Iron Battleship had already drifted away.
Lu Li was surprised. He could fly for 10 days or half a month. How could the city be so far away?
Were there no small cities nearby?
With someone pointing the way, Lu Li didn't wander around aimlessly. He flew straight to the northwest. There were beasts and beasts everywhere.
Lu Li couldn't defeat many of them. Luckily, he had the holy mountain which was so strong that not even Saint Kings could break it, let alone these beasts.
Several days later, Lu Li didn't run into any other warriors. Apart from the battleship, he didn't run into any other races in the wild.
"There are so many beasts here. There are so many powerful warriors in the Desolate Universe. Why don't they kill the beasts?"
Lu Li couldn't figure it out. The beasts looked strong but there were at least more than a dozen Saint Kings on the battleship. Those Saint Kings should have been able to kill the beasts easily.
Lu Li stopped thinking about it. Another five days later, he finally found warriors of other races. It was a strange mountain. It was steep and straight. On the mountain, Lu Li found warriors of hundreds of races.
The hundreds of warriors were strange. They were all climbing in the mountain as if they were picking some herbs.
Moreover, this mountain seemed to have a very strong gravitational force.
It was difficult for them to climb.
Lu Li noticed that many of the hundreds of warriors were lords and three were at the Emperor Realm. Lu Li was confused. Since when did Emperor Realm warriors have to pick herbs themselves?
Lu Li didn't go over rashly. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place and he didn't dare to get close to any races. What if he was ambushed and assassinated when he didn't know the situation?
Lu Li took a detour. Several Emperor Realm warriors did see him but they just used psychic power to check and didn't pay much attention. They continued to climb in the mountain.
Another two days later, Lu Li found another strange place. It was an abyss, a very deep one. Above and below the abyss, there were many strange races.
From the looks of it … it seemed like it was gathering something in the abyss?
Moreover, there were several thousand warriors here, and they were clearly divided into more than ten teams, but they were not in any disorder, nor were they fighting over the divine medicines. They were collecting the divine medicines in a corner, and did not interfere with each other.
"Roar ~"
When Lu Li passed by, he heard a loud beast roar coming from underground. All the warriors above flew down as if they were working together to fight against the enemy.
"What a wonderful place!"
Lu Li curled his lips and flew on. This time, it was a smooth journey. After a couple of days, he saw a huge city.
The walls of this city were thousands of feet tall, and there were all kinds of strange patterns on them. It was obvious that there were extremely powerful Divine Inscriptions set up on them.
There was no army on the city walls, not a single one, because there was a huge white barrier of light above the city walls that enveloped the entire city.
There weren't any on the city walls, but there were at the city gates. There was also a group of 12 soldiers, all wearing white battle armor. Their appearances were similar to humans, but they had clearly changed. It was obvious that they were Outlanders, and there wasn't a single pure-blooded human among them.
Of the twelve soldiers, eleven were at the Sub-Emperor level, and one was at the Emperor level.
Lu Li was speechless. Since when were Emperor level warriors reduced to guarding the city gates?
Lu Li strode to the city gate, cupped his fists and bowed to the Emperor level warrior, and then walked inside.
He had just taken a step when a soldier blocked his path and coldly extended a hand, saying, "Token!"
Lu Li didn't have any token.
He said, "I don't have one!"
"You just got here?"
That warrior sneered. Even though Lu Li was at the Emperor level, the warrior didn't seem to think highly of him, nor was he afraid. The warrior reached out his hand again and said, "You want to go into the city?
Give me Heaven Kirin Stones, 10 a day! "
"Heaven Kirin Stones?"
Lu Li frowned. He didn't know what that was. He asked after some thoughts, "Lord, what is Heaven Kirin Stones? I don't have any."
"If you don't, go to the Crimson Hill three hundred miles to the west of the city to exchange for them!"
The warrior waved his hand and said, "There is a chamber of commerce there. You must have some treasures, right?
You cannot go into the city without Heaven Kirin Stones. "
"Okay, thank you very much!"
Lu Li cupped his fists and walked toward the west of the city. The scout didn't tell him that he needed Heaven Kirin Stones to go into the city. If he had known, he would have taken the two scouts' Interspatial Rings. They must have Heaven Kirin Stones.
That being said, he had many treasures. He could sell some of them for tens of thousands of Heaven Kirin Stones.
In less than an hour, Lu Li found the Red Summit Mountain. The mountain was easy to find because there was only one mountain here, and it was all alone.
On the peak of the mountain was a castle. Clearly, it was the castle of the black market.
This place must have a strong background to be able to open an underground black market outside the city. Lu Li saw people coming in and out. Nobody paid attention to him.
Lu Li walked into the hall and found that it was divided into many side chambers. An old man came to him and asked if Lu Li was here to buy something or to buy something.
Lu Li didn't even have one Heaven Kirin Stone. What could he buy?
Of course, he would go to a place to sell things.
That old man took him to a side chamber and asked him to take out the things he wanted to sell and then appraise them.
Lu Li thought about it and took out some elixirs from his Interspatial Ring. They were all top-level elixirs at the Third Heaven, which were valuable.
"This is Yinyang Grass, right?
It is only 10,000 years old?
It is not worth any celestial stones. 100 of them are worth 30 celestial stones. "
"What kind of elixir is this?
I have never seen it before. But I can tell it is not that effective. I will give it 10 celestial stones. "
"This elixir is interesting. It is similar to the Wind Element Leaf. These dozens of elixirs can be valued at 50 celestial stones …"
Lu Li took out nearly 1000 celestial stones. The old man estimated that it was only slightly more than 100 celestial stones.
Lu Li was stunned. He was not in a hurry to sell. Instead, he took out a Sovereign Weapon and asked, "How much is this weapon worth?"
"Sovereign Weapon?"
The old man glanced at it, not showing any interest. He waved his hand and said, "1000 celestial stones. Your weapon has not been nurtured for a long time. It is not worth any celestial stones."
Lu Li was dumbfounded. A Sovereign Weapon could only stay in the city for 100 days?
Was the city a place for people to live?
He was a Sovereign Realm warrior. If he sold all the average treasures he had, he wouldn't be able to stay in the city for more than a few years.
Lu Li was hesitating. The old man grinned and said, "Young man, is this your first time in the Realm of Flying Celestial?"
Lu Li nodded and asked, "Sir, how come the cities of the Realm of Flying Celestial are so expensive?
It costs 10 celestial stones a day to enter the city?
How could an ordinary person bear it? "
"You said ordinary people. Of course, they cannot afford it!"
The old man was not a pure-blooded human being. There were red stripes on his forehead, his eyes were purple, his nose was hooked, and his ears were curved.
He said slowly, "If you want to stay in the city, you have to find a way to buy a residence. Without a residence, not even a Martial Saint can survive.
Therefore, if you want to stay in the city for a long time, you have to buy a residence. "
"How many celestial stones do I need to buy a residence?" Lu Li asked with curiosity.
"Not expensive!"
The old man grinned and said, "In a royal city like the Black Tortoise City, the smallest residence is 100,000 celestial stones.
The imperial city is 10 times more expensive. If you want to buy a manor in the Sacred City, it will cost at least 10 million celestial stones! "
"10 million …"
Lu Li was dumbfounded. One Sovereign Weapon was only 1000 celestial stones. If he wanted a manor in the Sacred City, he would have to trade 10,000 Sovereign Weapons?
If there was nothing wrong with his brain, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
