Chapter 967: Entering the City
Chapter 967: Entering the City
Gong Lao was willing to postpone going to Floating Jade City for his own sake, something Xu Chuniang had never expected.
But right now, with the fur coat, postponing her departure by a day, she cultivated for one more night, and more or less recovered some immortal energy.
“In that case, will it delay you?”
Gong Lao waved his hand carelessly, “Anyway, I don’t have to leave today, it doesn’t matter if I’m late for a day or two, if you earn Immortal Crystals in Floating Jade City, you’ll also be able to pay back the money you owe me as soon as possible.”
“Alright, then it’s a deal, I’ll come back to you early tomorrow morning.”
After bidding farewell to Elder Gong, Xu Chuniang put on her fur coat and walked back in a good mood.
This fur coat was really worth its weight in gold, and when she put it on, she wasn’t cold anymore.
After she carefully probed, she found that there were also some formations engraved on the fur coat, only that the runes in these formations were a kind of text she had never come into contact with before, and they looked twisted and turned like a tadpole.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance with her divine sense and did not look at it in detail, now was not the time to study this, wait until you have some free time.
Back home, Xiaobai was both excited and a little worried when she learned that Sister had bought fur coats and would be going to Floating Jade City with Gong Lao the next day.
“Sister, why don’t I go with you? If something happens in the city, there will also be someone to take care of.”
Xu Chuniang thought about it again and again, and finally rejected Xiao Bai’s proposal, this point of immortal crystals in hand is too little, really want two people to go, just the entry fee will have to pay a lot.
“There is Gong Lao and I traveled together, where would anything happen? And I have another thing to give you, this is twenty Immortal Crystals, you take it to buy some Immortal Grass Seeds and plant Immortal Grass at home.”
Letting Xiao Bai buy Immortal Grass seeds to grow Immortal Grass was also so that he could have something to do, lest he really run off to dig.
Xiao Bai wanted to say something and only took ten immortal crystals, “Immortal grass seeds are sold at five immortal crystals a piece, I’ll buy two and that’s enough, after all, I don’t know if I can plant them right now.
Sister, since you plan to go to Floating Jade City, bring more Immortal Crystals.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t push back and collected the immortal crystals in her hand.
“When I earn money next time, I’ll take you to Floating Jade City, which floats in the air, and I’ve heard that the city has a great view, with many rare beauties.”
Little White’s gaze showed longing, “Then I’ll wait for Sister to fulfill her promise.”
After staying in the house for a while and waiting for her body to warm up, Xu Chuniang pushed the door out and meditated and practiced while draped in her fur coat.
The residence she chose was on higher ground, so even if she wore a fur coat, she couldn’t stay outside for too long, and it was best not to exceed three hours.
She counted the time she spent practicing, and when the three hours were almost up, she stopped practicing and returned to the stone house, waiting for her body to warm up again before starting the next round of practice.
After two rounds like this, a faint morning light appeared in the sky, and the immortal qi in her body also recovered a little.
It was time to go.
After instructing Xiao Bai to send a message to her at any time, Xu Chuniang set off on the road down the mountain, arriving at Gong Lao’s home to join him and set off together towards Floating Jade City.
When she was in Zhangwei Mountain, she was unable to utilize divine abilities such as Shrinking Ground due to the overly intense frost and cold laws in Zhangwei Mountain, but after she left Zhangwei Mountain, she was not subject to this restriction.
Gong Lao and Xu Chuniang each used their divine abilities to rush in the direction of Floating Jade City, the two of them one after the other, their speeds were not even close to each other.
Gong Lao deliberately slowed down a bit, just to take care of Xu Chuniang, see her to follow his own, secretly accelerated the speed.
Several times to speed up, the person behind them are steadily followed up, Gong old man up some interest, want to see where the other side of the limit, suddenly accelerated several times.
Xu Chuniang looked up, just before Gong Lao, at this time has disappeared.
The corner of her mouth hooked up a light smile, did not want to continue to speed up like earlier, but maintained the original speed, continued to move forward in the direction of the floating jade city.
After flying for about an incense stick of time, Gong Lao’s figure appeared in front. He breathlessly skimmed his mouth, ”Why are you so slow? I’ve been waiting for you for a while.”
Xu Chuniang smiled apologetically, “I’ve tried my best, this is already my fastest speed.”
Elder Gong tsked lightly, and in turn, he felt a sense of entitlement, as an Ascended One who had just recently ascended, Xu Chuniang’s performance was already outstanding enough.
But trying to keep up with him, an Earth Immortal, was indeed a bit difficult for her.
“Alright, just slow down a bit, it’s not that bad for a while around here.”
Gong Lao slowed down his speed and led the way ahead in a rather good mood.
An hour later, the two arrived outside of Floating Jade City.
Gong Lao was quickly released after showing his identity token.
He looked at the immortal soldier guarding the gate and said indifferently, “This friend of mine is coming to Floating Jade City for the first time, so you guys give her a three-day entry pass to the city.”
A three-day pass only required the payment of ten Immortal Crystals, which was a bit more cost-effective than a single-day pass.
After Xu Chuniang paid the ten Immortal Crystals, she smoothly obtained the pass and was allowed to stay in Floating Jade City for three days.
After three days, the existing pass would automatically expire.
A new pass must be obtained in order to remain in Floating Jade City, or else they would be ostracized by the city’s formations.
Floating Jade City was a city in the air, where all the houses along with the city guard formation floated in the air, beautifully mirroring the clouds and ice.
Xu Chuniang followed behind Elder Gong and was shocked at the first sight of stepping into Floating Jade City.
This Floating Jade City was worthy of being a city of Immortals, with a wonderful landscape that was very different from Zhangwei Mountain, and most of the Immortals here were dressed in fancy clothes, looking far better off than the Immortals who lived in Zhangwei Mountain.
More importantly, the Immortal Qi here is very rich, about three times as much as that of Zhangwei Mountain!
As if he could tell what she had in mind, Gong Lao said with his hands behind his back, unimpressed.
“This Floating Jade City, is one of the four great cities of Zongdang Heaven, sitting on a complete immortal vein, those who can settle in such a great city are all people with generous families.
If you have your eye on Floating Jade City and want to move here, you would have to prepare at least twenty to thirty thousand Immortal Crystals in order to buy the smallest mansion.”
Twenty to thirty thousand Immortal Crystals to buy the smallest mansion?
Wouldn’t a larger one with a better location be even more expensive?
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath, once again realizing her poverty.
But since she had ascended to the Immortal Realm, starting from scratch was to be expected, and as the heavens were kind, she would always find a way to earn Immortal Crystals.
Recalling that when she had entered the city earlier, Gong Lao had only shown his identity token to a few immortal soldiers and they had let her through, Xu Chuniang had a guess in her heart.
“Could it be that Gong Lao, has bought a mansion in Floating Jade City?”
“Not bad, you girl, you do have a few eyes.”
Elder Gong led the way ahead, saying as he walked, “Owning a mansion in Floating Jade City will allow you to enter and exit this city free of charge, I’m going to be an errand boy for a thousand years in Zhangwei Mountain, so for the sake of convenience and saving money, I simply bought a mansion.”
Gong Lao led Xu Chuniang around seven times and into a small alley, pointing to a roof in the deepest part of the house, “There, is the mansion I bought.”
