Lu Li did not trust the old man completely. Naturally, he didn't sell the Sovereign Weapon either. He only had one Sovereign Weapon and he got it from killing enemies.
He didn't have time to refine a Sovereign Weapon or nurture it. Though he didn't need it, it was better to keep it.
He sold some elixirs for more than 200 celestial stones. He decided to go into the city and gather some information.
After retrieving the celestial stones, Jiang Yi walked down the city and handed over a hundred celestial stones. The soldier handed over a token and said, "This token will melt after ten days. You have to leave the city immediately. Otherwise, if you don't have the token on you, you will be arrested and punished severely."
"Got it!"
Lu Li curled his lips. The Realm of Flying Celestial was smart. The token would disappear automatically when the time was up. Without the token, he could not stay in the city.
Before he entered the city, the warrior told him several things. He must not provoke anyone without reason or he would be punished.
He must not make a move or he would be killed instantly. He must not commit crimes or he would be punished as well …
In other words, they had to abide by the rules and be well-behaved in the city. Any bad behavior would be severely punished.
For example, if he molested a girl and the girl reported it, he could be punished with hundreds of celestial stones. If he could not pay, he could be sent to do hard labor.
That sergeant also gave Lu Li a booklet with the city rules listed in it clearly.
Lu Li put it away after a casual glance. He walked into the city. It was a large city with many residents. There were many races. Lu Li was dazzled by the sight.
But no matter what race they were, they all looked like humans in the city. At best, they would retain some of their own characteristics.
Lu Li could understand. There were too many races and many of them were huge. If they didn't change into human shapes, many buildings would be destroyed as soon as they entered the city.
There were so many races of different sizes. The Realm of Flying Celestial was a place where hundreds of races lived together. Therefore, there was only one standard and they had to be of similar size.
As a matter of fact, the races here did not change according to the human race, but the Wild Race.
The appearance of the Wild Race was similar to humans. In the Infinite Region, the Wild Race was the overlord. Naturally, the Wild Race was respected.
This city was built in a very grand manner. The streets were very orderly, and the houses were also very orderly. Each house had a small courtyard, and many of the courtyards were lit up with white light. Clearly, there were people cultivating inside.
Lu Li didn't know where to go even though he was in the city. He wandered around the city. Many races in the city looked at him but didn't pay attention to him.
Lu Li saw tens of thousands of warriors in the city. Most of them were at the Lord Realm and some were at the Great Emperor Realm.
Lu Li went into a tavern. After a while, he walked out because he … he could not afford it.
The things inside were too expensive, but the things inside were very precious. For example, there was a dish made from the meat of a type of beast, and that beast was comparable to an Overlord.
Any random jug of wine would cost dozens of celestial stones, and it was obviously of the divine liquid grade.
Lu Li went to another tavern. Soon, he realized he couldn't afford it either. It would cost 10 celestial stones to stay here for a day.
Lu Li touched his nose, speechless. He, a warrior of the Great Emperor Realm, could not afford a place to stay or food?
If this spread to the Third Heaven, no one would dare to believe it, right?
Lu Li thought about it and decided to spend some Celestial Stones to get some information. Information was the most important thing. Nothing else mattered.
The best place to get information was the waiter in the tavern. There were many people coming and going in the tavern. The waiter lived here all year round. Therefore, he must have a clear idea of what was going on around here.
The waiter knew this best. Once the Celestial Stones were spent, they would tell him everything.
Lu Li sent a message to a waiter at the bottom of the tavern. Not long afterward, the waiter came back. He winked at Lu Li and led him around. After a while, they appeared in an alley.
The waiter bowed with a smile and said, "Lord, 100 Celestial Stones. What do you want to know? As long as it is about the Black Tortoise City, I know most of it and I can tell you."
Lu Li gave him 100 Celestial Stones without hesitation and began to ask questions.
After more than two hours, he waved his hand. The waiter left with the Celestial Stones, satisfied.
Lu Li stood where he was with a solemn and disappointed expression.
It was not easy to live a good life in the Flying Celestial World. This was indeed the safest place in the Infinite Region. However, the prerequisite was that one had to have a residence in the city.
There were only 111 cities in the Flying Celestial World. Not to mention the Holy City. Even the Monarch City was expensive.
The reason why it was so expensive was because the 33 Great Clans had done it on purpose.
The entire Flying Celestial World was the money bag of the 33 major families. Apart from a huge manor in the Holy City, the 33 major families didn't have any family members living in other places.
The members of the 33 major families never messed around in the Flying Celestial World. They built the Flying Celestial World into a land of treasures, a paradise. Their purpose was to attract countless old demons and experts from small families to settle down, cultivate, and fight for treasures.
Such a big realm only had 111 cities. How many people were there in the entire Infinite Region?
There were countless old devils from the outside gathered here as well.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Naturally, the land price in the city was high.
On the other hand, if the owner of the residence died, they would have to reclaim it. By then, they could sell it again …
It was not safe outside the city. If it was safe outside, the land price in the city wouldn't be so high.
Lu Li even suspected that the reason why it was so unsafe outside the city was because of the frequent Beast Tides was because of the 33 major families.
Otherwise, the 33 major families could easily kill all the beasts by sending out some Saint King experts.
It was very likely that they left these beasts behind to force everyone to enter the city.
It was difficult to earn celestial stones in the Infinite Region. Celestial stones were very valuable.
Of course, if you could sell some treasures like Sacred Weapons, you could get a lot of celestial stones.
For example, if Lu Li sold the Holy Mountain, he could get tens of millions of celestial stones easily.
Lu Li had a Sacred Weapon, the Soul Devouring Bead, but why would he sell it?
As for the elixirs, they weren't worth any celestial stones. There were tens of thousands of realms in the Infinite Region. What kind of elixir couldn't be found here?
Because there were so many resources here, the average strength of the martial artists here was not low.
Lu Li finally understood some things. For example, when he saw some Emperor Rank experts harvesting elixirs outside.
He couldn't figure it out. Since when did Emperor Rank experts have such a miserable life?
Now he knew that those Emperor Rank experts were forced to live.
They must be accumulating celestial stones so that they could buy a residence in the city.
"There is no other way …"
Lu Li thought for a while and decided to wander around the city for a few days. As an Emperor Rank expert, there was nothing he could do. He had to go out to mine and harvest elixirs to earn celestial stones.
