Chapter 2733
by“Only the Earth Rank…” Yang Kai mumbled and said thoughtfully, “You want to enter it to see if you can break through to the Emperor Senior Realm？”
Bian Yuqing smiled slightly and said, “I always have to give it a try, although the hope is slim.”
She doesn’t have much confidence in herself. Yang Kai estimates that even if she really enters the Earth Rank secret room for cultivation, she may not be able to break through to the Emperor Senior Realm. For a martial artist’s cultivation, state of mind is a very important factor.
After a slight hesitation, Yang Kai said, “Let’s go.”
“Where to？” Bian Yuqing asked.
“Let’s go and take a look at the Spiritual Lake Palace. I haven’t come back here for several years. Judging from your appearance, you seem to be very familiar with the Spiritual Lake Palace. Be my tour guide.”
Bian Yuqing nodded and said, “Alright.”
Yang Kai urged his Emperor Yuan and wrapped her up, then flew towards the direction of the Spiritual Lake Palace, but did not return the cyan jade token.
Bian Yuqing wanted to say something but stopped, and in the end, she still didn’t open her mouth to ask for it back. If Yang Kai really intended to snatch her cyan jade token, Bian Yuqing simply couldn’t keep it.
A thousand miles away, it was reached in a short while.
In mid-air, Yang Kai looked at the Linghu Palace from a distance and couldn’t help but be a little amazed. It had only been a few years, and a city with a scale no less than that of Fenglin City had actually been formed here. And looking at this situation, it seemed to be expanding. Perhaps in a few years, this Linghu Palace would be able to directly annex Fenglin City and the two would merge into one.
Seeing that Yang Kai seemed to have the momentum to swagger in, Bian Yuqing hurriedly said, “You have to pay source crystals to enter Linghu City. Ten middle-grade source crystals per person.”
“This toll is a bit expensive.” Yang Kai stuck out his tongue. He had also been to many cities, but the tolls charged by those cities were generally based on low-grade source crystals, and most of them were only ten low-grade source crystals. But this Linghu City actually wanted ten middle-grade source crystals, a hundred times that of other cities.
“It’s worth the money. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Linghu City is not as good as that in the cultivation secret place of Linghu Palace, it is also extremely rich. Many people who can’t get the talisman will find a place to live in Linghu City and live here all year round.”
Yang Kai nodded. He had also climbed up step by step from the bottom-level warriors, so he could naturally understand the hardships of the cultivation of those bottom-level warriors. For them, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Linghu City was no less than a blessing. Naturally, just ten middle-grade source crystals were worth paying.
While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the city gate. Fortunately, the city gate was spacious and there were not many people queuing up. When it was Yang Kai’s turn, an upper-grade Source Crystal was thrown out. The warrior guarding the gate took it and let him pass without hesitation.
It wasn’t that Yang Kai deliberately flaunted his wealth. It was just that his original middle-grade and lower-grade Source Crystals had basically been emptied, and the Source Crystals in his ring were all upper-grade.
After entering Linghu City, a wave of heat rushed towards them. On the street, passing warriors were like crucian carp crossing the river, as numerous as ox hairs, coming and going in a continuous stream. It was extremely lively. On both sides of the street, there were many shops lined up in rows, and there were also many people who directly set up stalls in the open space and took out the things they didn’t need for sale. Most of the stalls had people staying there, and the sound of bargaining could be heard without interruption.
Yang Kai marveled. At a glance, Dao Source Realm warriors emerged in an endless stream here. There were even some Emperor Senior Realm warriors who hid their cultivation and walked among the crowd. This was simply impossible ten years ago. Back then, near Fenglin City, the strongest person was only at the Second-Order Dao Source Realm. The number of Dao Source Realm warriors could be counted on two hands. But now, it was really a scene where Dao Source Realm warriors were everywhere…
Naturally, all these changes were due to the rise of Linghu Palace.
Yang Kai strolled along, enjoying the lively atmosphere, and had a rather unreal feeling.
Bian Yuqing also told Yang Kai some things about Linghu City from time to time. Yang Kai nodded continuously. Ever since the Biyu Sect disbanded, she and Kou Wu had come to Linghu City to make a living, so naturally, she knew this place better than Yang Kai.
Nearly an hour later, the two arrived at the center of Linghu City – Linghu Palace.
The huge palace was like a city within a city, and at the palace entrance, there were actually many people lined up in queues.
Yang Kai could see clearly that these people were lined up in three teams in total. The team on the far left had the largest number of people, approximately five hundred or so. The number of people in the middle was much smaller, only half of that on the left, and the number of people on the far right was even fewer, probably less than seventy. Moreover, the strengths of the martial artists in these three teams were also clearly distinct. In the long queue on the far left, basically all of them were Void King Realm or martial artists below the Void King Realm, and there were occasionally a few seemingly down-and-out Dao Source Realm martial artists mixed in among them.
And in the middle queue, most of them were actually Dao Source Realm Layer 1 or Layer 2 martial artists, with a few Void King Realm martial artists.
As for the queue on the far right, the cultivation base was at least Dao Source Realm Layer 2. Layer 3 was everywhere, and there were even two Emperor Respect Realm martial artists.
Yang Kai thought thoughtfully and said, “The token talismans held by these three teams are different, right？”
Bian Yuqing nodded and said, “That’s right. The ones on the far left are the holders of the white jade talismans, the ones in the middle are the cyan jade talismans, and the ones on the right are the red jade talismans. In the Linghu Palace, the number of human-level cultivation secret places is the largest, followed by the earth-level ones, and the heaven-level ones are the fewest. So although there are more people queuing with the white jade talismans, in fact, the rotation speed is quite fast.”
Yang Kai nodded, took a step to the side, came to a relatively empty position, looked around, and showed a hint of satisfaction.
Bian Yuqing didn’t know what he was going to do, but she didn’t ask either, just looked at him curiously.
Yang Kai suddenly said loudly, “There is now a cyan jade talisman numbered 3912 for sale. Those who want to buy it, come quickly. First come, first served！”
Although the voice was not loud, under the urging of strength, I’m afraid the entire Linghu City could hear it.
Bian Yuqing’s face changed, and she exclaimed, “What are you doing！”
This was the cyan jade talisman that she had finally exchanged by spending all her assets, and it would be her turn in just two more months. It was the key to whether she could be promoted to Emperor Zun. Yang Kai actually took out the talisman for sale without her consent. If she really wanted to sell it, she would have taken it to the auction house long ago. How could she have kept it until now？
“Trust me！” Yang Kai looked at her.
Bian Yuqing immediately fell silent, frowned, and nodded, no longer speaking.
Yang Kai was already an Emperor Zun. If he really had malicious intentions towards her, she would not be able to resist.
And after Yang Kai’s words rang out, the martial artists walking nearby all halted their paces and looked at him in surprise. The next moment, like a surging tide, their figures all flickered and rushed towards Yang Kai.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai and Bian Yuqing were surrounded tightly. This sudden situation made Bian Yuqing a little nervous. After all, among the martial artists who rushed over, many of them exuded an extremely powerful aura, which she simply couldn’t contend with.
She unconsciously moved closer to Yang Kai, as if trying to seek a sense of security.
“Number three thousand nine hundred and twelve？ Is it true or false？”
“Quickly take it out and let us have a look.”
“Kid, if you dare to deceive us, you’re dead.”
Among the martial artists staying in Linghu City, many of them wanted to obtain a talisman, so they were naturally very familiar with those numbers. The cyan jade talisman with the number three thousand nine hundred and twelve was already very far ahead. I’m afraid it would only take less than two months to be next in line.
Generally, talismans with such a high number only appeared in auctions, and even the black market might not be able to obtain them. Now that one suddenly appeared in public, it was naturally exciting.
For a time, the voices were deafening.
Yang Kai ignored those who threatened him and still continued to shout on his own.
Constantly, people were flying over from afar. In a short while, the number of martial artists gathered here actually exceeded five hundred. Yang Kai and Bian Yuqing were surrounded on all sides, and even the mid-air was filled with martial artists.
If it weren’t for the fact that fighting was not allowed in Linghu City, I’m afraid someone would have already taken action to snatch it.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yang Kai then reached out and took out the cyan jade talisman. First, he showed the front side to everyone, and then flipped it over and held it high, showing it for a while.
The few numbers on the back shone brightly in the sunlight, making them clearly visible to everyone.
“It’s really number 3912！”
“A talisman with such a high ranking hasn’t appeared for a long time. With this number, one only needs to wait for two months.”
“Kid, I was the first one here. Hurry up and sell the talisman to me. The price will definitely satisfy you.” An old man in his fifties shouted eagerly. This old man was not young, with gray hair, but his cultivation was only at the second level of the Dao Source Realm, and there was a deathly aura all over his body and his blood qi was also extremely thin. Judging from this appearance, it seemed that his time was running out.
However, if he could make another breakthrough in martial arts, perhaps he could live for a few more years, so naturally he cared is extremely about this talisman.
Another martial artist at the third level of the Dao Source Realm, who was standing in mid-air looking down, said indifferently： “Kid, how do you sell the talisman? Name a price！”
Yang Kai smiled slightly, looked around, and said, “It seems that all of you friends are very interested in this token. Well, in that case, let’s hold an on-site auction. The highest bidder gets it！”
Upon hearing this, the semi-old man’s face changed, and he growled, “Kid, you clearly said that it’s first come, first served. How can you go back on your word？”
Yang Kai grinned and said, “Old man, you actually took my casual words seriously？ Such a precious token naturally has to be auctioned.”
“You…” The semi-old man’s beard trembled with anger, and he said indignantly, “This really pisses me off.”
“Since we’re going to have an auction, what’s the starting price？” The Dao Source Realm expert in the air asked.
Yang Kai said, “You all can bid as you see fit. There is no starting price.”
With so many people vying for it, there is simply no need for a starting price. The price will naturally go up when they scramble.
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately shouted, “Twenty million！”
“Twenty million is only the price to buy a token from the Spiritual Lake Palace. You have the nerve to bid that. I bid thirty million！”
“Thirty-one million…”
“Thirty-two million！”
……
The bids came one after another. In the blink of an eye, the price of this green jade token had reached thirty-six million.
Yang Kai asked Bian Yuqing in a low voice, “Is this in lower-grade Source Crystals or middle-grade Source Crystals？”
Bian Yuqing replied, “Middle-grade Source Crystals. The white jade token is calculated in lower-grade Source Crystals, while the red jade token requires upper-grade Source Crystals.”
“How much did you spend when you bought this？” Yang Kai asked again.
“Twenty million middle-grade Source Crystals！”
