On the third day after Heaven-Blasting Gang was established, Lin Feng decided to go out.

He has already eaten all kinds of edible ores in the mining area. Blood Scorpion gives him "ore packages" in different ways every day, but after all, it is still the mines and he is tired of eating them.

Lin Feng calculated on his fingers. Based on his current energy recovery rate of 15%, it would be a serious matter to go out and see the world, and sell some of the inventory at the bottom of the warehouse in exchange for some hard currency.

"Who are you taking?" As soon as Blood Scorpion heard that he was going out, he immediately became energetic and geared up.

"You, and Old Wang."

Blood Scorpion's face was filled with honor and he held his chest high.

Old Wang is a one-armed old miner in the mining area. He has been squatting here for more than 20 years. Wild Domain knows nothing about the terrain, rules, and distribution of forces. Taking him out is more practical than taking any expert.

"Just the three of us?" Blood Scorpion was still a little worried, "There are everyone in Flowing Cloud City... just in case we run into trouble..."

"More people are troublesome." Lin Feng picked up a worn-out bag containing goods for sale, "Let's go."

The flying boat was a black iron model collected from the law enforcement team. It was inconspicuous. After flying for two hours, the outline of Flowing Cloud City appeared in the field of vision.

Lin Feng leaned on the side and looked down, was silent for a moment, and said one word.

"Big."

He had seen the fairy city of Primordial World, he had seen Heavenly Court, he had seen Mount Kunlun, but for a city of the size of Flowing Cloud City, it really exceeded his expectations in Primordial Chaos World.

The city wall is a hundred feet high, with breathing luminous ores embedded in the cracks of the black Dark Iron bricks. From a distance, it looks like a piece of burning black charcoal. The city is filled with smoke, high-rise buildings, and bustling with people. All kinds of flying boats, beasts riding on them, and magic weapons are shuttled around. It is densely packed and very lively.

The flying boat landed at the parking area outside the city gate, and the three of them approached the city gate on foot.

There was a long queue at the city gate.

In front of the guard checkpoint, a dozen guards in bright armor were arrogantly checking people entering the city one by one.

"Name plate! Entry fee! If it's not enough, stand aside!"

The standard of the city entrance fee depends on the person - three spiritual stones for those with a large sect nameplate; five spiritual stones for ordinary Rogue Cultivator; and five spiritual stones for ordinary people; those wearing rags and rags. The guards will look up and down and shout out the price casually. Sometimes they shout twenty or thirty, whether they like it or not.

Old Wang came over and whispered, "Master, we don't have a nameplate, and we don't have a powerful background. These people are determined to have a lion's mouth, at least fifty coins..."

Lin Feng said nothing and walked directly to the front.

"Hey! Queue up!" The people in the queue immediately shouted, "Why are you joining the queue?!"

The guard leader heard the commotion, pushed aside the crowd and came over, staring at the Lin Feng trio with unkind eyes and looking them up and down - ordinary clothes, old-style flying boats, without any sect marks.

Typical soft persimmon.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and his usual blackmail expression came out:

"No nameplate? Which force does it belong to?"

"No power." Lin Feng answered truthfully.

The guard leader raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"Without power... that's easy to say. The entry fee is three times, one hundred and fifty spiritual stones. The docking fee for the flying boat is fifty coins, the cargo inspection fee is thirty coins, and the temporary pass cost is twenty coins."

He counted his fingers, and the calculation became smoother and smoother, "The total is two hundred and fifty, one is a lot, so I handed it in. If I don't bring enough, I returned the same way."

There were several low-pitched boos from the people queuing up behind - this kind of thing is so common that no one is surprised.

Old Wang looked ugly, Blood Scorpion pressed the handle of the knife and was about to make a sound.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand to hold them down, turned around and asked the guard leader:

"Is there VIP access?"

The guard leader was stunned for a second, and then laughed loudly, his laughter full of contempt:

"VIP channel? Just the three of you? That's for the nobles from the big chamber of commerce and the big sects. You..."

"Is this enough?"

Lin Feng took out something from his arms and handed it over casually.

It was a purple crystal the size of a fist, as transparent as a solidified nebula. The light contained within it was not leaking out, but just by placing it in the palm of your hand, the air around it trembled slightly.

The guard leader picked it up casually, with a smile still on his face.

Then, he looked down and his smile froze.

His spiritual consciousness probed into the crystal.

The moment he probed in, the spiritual consciousness seemed to have been slapped hard by something, and he took three steps back.

He stared blankly at the thing in his hand, and his lips began to tremble.

Mine core.

Divine Core–Grade Grand Primordium Purple Crystal.

This kind of thing is the crystallization that takes hundreds of years to form in the deepest part of the mineral vein. The value of one piece is enough to exchange for a mid-grade artifact. The total inventory of Flowing Cloud City does not amount to ten pieces.

He has been a guard for twenty years, and this is the first time he has touched the mine core with his own hands.

The guard leader's knees were bent.

It bent naturally and uncontrollably, not just pretending.

"Your... noble... Your honor, please, I don't know Mount Tai, how offensive it is..." There was a vibrato in his voice, "I will open the VIP channel for you personally!"

He turned around and shouted at his subordinates at the top of his lungs:

"What are you doing standing still! Open the VIP channel for me! Move your goods in! Entry tax is free!"

Two of his men trotted over, hunched over, and cautiously helped carry Lin Feng's baggage.

The normally locked vermilion gate, inlaid with gold rims and reserved for the passage of the powerful, was pushed open by the guard leader himself.

"Your Majesty, please! It's a smooth journey!"

On the long dragon behind, countless people stretched their necks.

The people who were scolding Lin Feng for jumping in line just now were all silent now, watching helplessly as the three people walked through the VIP aisle and walked into Flowing Cloud City.

Old Wang While walking, he lowered his head and calculated secretly:

"Sir, how many ordinary Purple Crystal can be exchanged for that mineral core..."

"I don't know, and I don't care." Lin Feng said casually, and took out another piece of Purple Crystal from the bag, and threw it into his mouth, "Just treat it as dessert after the meal."

Old Wang looked at the Supreme-Grade Purple Crystal that he chewed as a snack, with a complicated expression and silently closed his mouth.
