Difficulty in Entering
Inside the city of a huge population, in a shop in the southwest.
“A total of 738 cultivation coins.”
The shopkeeper pushed the spectacles on his nose that had the ability to appraise items. He looked at the treasures on the table, and told Su Yun coldly.
“Only 700 plus cultivation coins?” Su Yun frowned slightly.
“It’s considered decent, kid, you think all these things are worth a lot of money? If you go over to the shop direct opposite of us, you can find all of your treasures there, they roughly have the same price as well, if you think that I am not being fair with the prices, you can sell or can choose not to, I won’t force you.” The shopkeeper said.
Hearing that, Su Yun did not persist further, he nodded his head.
The shopkeeper immediately took out 738 cultivation coins and gave it to Su Yun. Putting the 700 odd cultivation coins together, it formed a small hill and looked rather great, but in truth it was nothing much, and with a thought, he kept all of them in his storage ring.
After obtaining the cultivation coins, he was no longer anxious, 700 plus cultivation coins was not considered little as well. Thinking about how he could probably assail the fifth stage Spirit Star Realm after absorbing them, Su Yun cast that idea away as he felt the more urgent desire of heading to the Feng Family.
“Shopkeeper, do you know the location of the Feng Family in the Sky Central City?”
Su Yun packed the cultivation coins and asked.
“Feng Family? Why are you inquiring about them?” The shopkeeper stopped whatever he was doing and asked.
“Oh, I have some matters.” Su Yun did not go into details.
The shopkeeper glanced at the proof of qualifications on Su Yun’s waist, he shook his head: “If you are thinking of going to the Feng Family to look for work, I can tell you this right now, without a fighting strength of 700, you cannot enter the Feng Family.”
“I am just looking for somebody”
“Looking for somebody? With 200 fighting strength, will anyone bother with you? I”ll just tell you, follow this road and walk all the way straight, after 3 t-junctions later, take the left turn.”
“And I will have reached?”
“No, there will be a stable lad there.”
“….”
“Pay one cultivation coin, the stable lad will bring you over, the Feng Family is in the city central, and it is hard to say, the Sky Central City is extremely huge, you can’t fly in Sky Central City, so just by relying on walking, you will not reach there by the end of the day, if you let the stable lad bring you there, it will take less than an incense worth of time.”
“Thank you”
After leaving the shop, he followed the directions and found the stable lad. Under his lead, it truly was less than incense worth of time before Su Yun was sent to the main gates of the Feng Residence.
Upon arriving at the gates, Su Yun understood why upon talking about the Feng Family, everybody’s expression would turn serious.
The big gates were completely made from a material resembling jade, it was extremely exquisite, and there were two 5m tall golden lions at the gates, with densely drawn array formations on the door, which was extremely imposing yet not lofty. The walls by the sides were made from precious stones and the land around the Feng Residence was silvery white, as though they used silver to make the roads. People who did not know would think that they have entered a land of gold.
But of course, those were not the important parts, the most important was the people standing guard by the door.
They were a total of six men, but all of them had fighting strengths above 700.
That also meant, the six guards were all fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivators.
~Who would be so crazy to use six fifth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivators to guard the door?~
Su Yun was baffled by the scene. If he had heard of such a thing while still being in the Sky Martial Continent, he would have never believed in it.
Su Yun focused himself, he turned and looked at the Feng Residence big gates and walked over.
“Who are you?”
The six guards all bellowed out in unison upon seeing Su Yun.
Su Yun slowed down, he cupped his fists and spoke out: “I am Su Yun, and am here on urgent matters to meet Young master Feng, Feng Ling Sheng, I hope that you would represent me and send a message to him.”
“Meet Young Master Ling Sheng? What relations do you have with our family young master?”
“I am an old friend of Young Master Ling Sheng.” Su Yun replied.
“Old friend? With just you?” The six of them looked at each other, then turned and looked at Su Yun’s proof of qualifications on his waist, then burst out into laughter.
“Hahahahaha, stop joking, you stinking ant, get out of here.”
“With just you, being friends with my family’s young master? What a joke.”
“Go further away, don’t wet yourself either, do you know who our family’s young master is? He is a precious immortal of the nine heavens, he is too high to reach! You are just a trash with low cultivation, and you say you want to talk to our family’s young master? Heh, truly, nowadays, too many random cats and dogs dare to come here.”
The guards kept on mocking and ridiculing him, and all the needle like ridicules cut into Su Yun’s eardrums.
Su Yun was enraged within, but he did not make a sound, at the moment, after using the Heavenly Crystal, his strength had plummeted greatly, he couldn’t even fight with any of them.
“Eh? What’s going on? What are you guys doing chit chatting and not doing your work well?”
Just then, a languid voice came out from the street.
Everyone turned over, only to see two people with horses coming over.
The one in the lead was a young man atop a horse that had a jade white body with two wings, dressed in a gown lined with gold and jade and a crown on his head, he had a charming appearance, and looked extremely confident and at ease.
By his side was a young lady atop a similar horse, she was dressed in red, with a charming yet extremely cold appearance, her eyes sparkled brightly like ice that could never be melted, giving off a bone chilling gaze, her lips were red and her skin was extremely supple and white, she looked extremely exquisite.
Other than the two, the others behind were walking, all of them followed along, but amongst them all, the weakest was still a sixth stage Spirit Star Realm being.
Upon seeing the group arriving, the guards immediately became serious, they anxiously knelt down on one knee and called out: “Greetings Young master and Young Miss, welcome back.”
“All of you, rise.”
The young master laughed and nodded, he then looked at Su Yun and asked: “Who is this?”
“This subordinate does not know, he say he is here to look for Young Master Ling Sheng.” The door guard said.
“Oh? Looking for second brother?” The Young master on the white horse revealed a look of playfulness, he glanced at the proof of qualifications on Su Yun’s waist, then laughed: “Truly, birds of the same feather flocks together, a fighting strength of 200 is suitable for that trash. But, the Feng Family is not a place that anyone can enter just because they want to, make him get lost!”
With that, the young master entered the residence.
Su Yun’s heart turned cold, a sinister look flashing across his eyes.
“What? I never expected the magnificent Feng Family would act like a snob? I still thought that only meagre people would do it, but since it is so, It’s fine not meeting him.” Su Yun snorted.
Hearing that, the young master stopped his horse and turned back, the smile still on his face, he spoke: “What did you just say?”
“I think that young master, you should have heard my words just right, if you want to kill this lowly subordinate, this lowly subordinate is here waiting for you to cut me up, since I am just a low existence of 200 fighting strength, this young master can just pinch me to death with your fingers, but when word goes out, I wonder how badly damaged young master’s reputation will become.” Su Yun said indifferently.
“That’s right, I will treat the words you said just now as dog fart, now get out.”
The young master still maintained a smile, but concealed within the smiles in his eyes, there was a tinge of killing intent.
“Cousin brother, why are you still wasting time with trash? Let’s just go in.”
The red clothed young lady seemed to have become impatient and said calmly.
“Let’s go.”
The young master was no longer willing to talk with Su Yun and went in.
But the moment he entered the residence, he stopped once more and turned his head: “That’s right, since that ant wants to meet second brother, then this young master will not let him have what he wants, send the order and get it done, he must never take half a step into the Feng Residence, if he does, kill him immediately. Whatever that has and will happen, never tell my second brother! Got it?”
“Yes!”
The door guards shouted.
The young master smiled playfully at Su Yun, and then disappeared behind the gates.
Su Yun secretly clenched his fists, the killing intent and rage churning in his heart.
~I never thought that entering the Feng Residence is much hard than I Thought, no wonder Ling Qing Yu and the rest would say that.~
~Whatever, since I can’t find Feng Ling Sheng for help, I have to depend on myself.~
Su Yun looked at the Feng Residence coldly, then turned and left.
Activating the Sword Origin Life Source required many materials, but there were only four that were extremely hard to obtain, the Dawn Creek Water, Infinity Bow Core Qi, the Three Moon Space Time Steel as well as the Illusory Spirit Qi.
In the Sky Martial Continent, these things were practically non existent and a majority of the population would never have even heard of the name before, but here in the Sky Central City, these things were more uncommon. Although Su Yun did not know where to obtain them, the powerful auction houses might sell them.
Su Yun arrived at the biggest auction house at the Sky Central City and sought out their prices, the four treasures had a total of 100 thousand cultivation coins.
100 thousand.
Much less Su Yun, even the almighty beings would not be able to obtain 100 thousand that easily.
“I can’t just give up like this, I even settled the Profound Sky Sect, If I can’t revive Sword Elder, how can I find peace with myself?”
Returning enmity with revenge, repaying kindness with kindness, that was how Su Yun always lived.
~But I still have to think of ways to earn these cultivation coins.~
Standing at the entrance of the auction house, Su Yun noticed that up ahead in the main hall, there were many missions rewarding cultivation coins, there were missions looking for materials, some hiring for mercenaries to kill others, there were all sorts of mission, with the only criterias of being strong enough.
Although the fourth stage Spirit Star Realm was considered a pinnacle strength in the Sky Martial Continent, it was considered nothing in the Ultimate Martial World. After thinking about it, Su Yun sighed, and could only pick the mission of looking for the ‘Hexagonal Origin Mt. Tai Core Stone’.
He looked for a place to absorb the 700 cultivation coins and broke through smoothly, his Spirit Essences increased greatly, numbering over 100 thousand in his entire body, the size of the Qi channels in his body had increased to the size of fingers, and the speed of using Spirit Qi was more than double than what he used to be able to do.
After attaining the fifth stage, Su Yun then rode on the Prowling Wind Beast that he had gotten prior to entering the city and headed to the ‘Chiselling Body Mountain’, where it was said that the Hexagonal Origin Mt. Tai Core Stone was produced.
