"Miss is right."

"But His Majesty seems to pay special attention to him. Rumor has it that His Majesty even assigned Luo Feng, the first commander of the Shadow Guard, to protect him."

"It seems he's afraid others might harm the Ninth Prince," the beautiful woman continued.

Meng Ruoxue, whose beauty could bring ruin to the world, said coldly, "For Chu Yun, protecting him too well will make him lack experience and actually hasten his death."

"Enough, don't waste time on people like him."

"Did you find what I asked you to look for?"

The beautiful woman's face showed helplessness and worry. "Miss, I've inquired everywhere. In the Great Xia Dynasty, there have been no traces of the Source of Nirvana for nearly a hundred years."

"This is mainly because this item is too rare. A Source of Nirvana represents the life of a Nirvana Realm cultivator."

"It's too difficult to find."

The reason Meng Ruoxue was looking for the Source of Nirvana was that her cultivation had reached its limit and she needed to break through.

Normally, with her memories from her previous life, she could have easily passed through the Nirvana Fire without any worries.

But after reincarnating, she discovered that the Sky Demoness had actually placed a Nirvana Curse on her through a wisp of her residual soul consciousness from her past life.

Her Nirvana Fire's power had increased by more than ten thousand times, making it impossible for any mortal to survive!

If she were to come into contact with the Nirvana Fire, there was a high probability she would perish on the spot.

Therefore, her only option was to find the Source of Nirvana.

Only through the special abilities of the Source of Nirvana could she successfully break through to the Nirvana Realm.

When Meng Ruoxue heard that there was no news of the Source of Nirvana, her expression didn't show much disappointment.

Since she couldn't find it, she would refine it herself!

The most crucial component for refining a Source of Nirvana was a living Nirvana Realm cultivator.

"Then don't look for it for now."

"Go and help me gather the materials for these formations."

Meng Ruoxue handed her a list filled with heavenly and earthly spiritual materials needed for some killing formations.

With her current strength, fighting a cultivator in the early Nirvana Realm wouldn't be a problem.

However, if she wanted to suppress them, she would have to rely on the power of formations.

"Yes, Miss."

After receiving the list, the beautiful woman left immediately.

"Sky Demoness, just you wait!"

"When I break through to the Nirvana Realm, I will find the source of the curse!"

"At that time, I will personally kill you!"

A murderous glint flashed in Meng Ruoxue's cold, blue eyes.

Chu Yun, Luo Feng, and Venerable Wan Lei had walked through several streets. He had truly witnessed the vastness and prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Within the entire Imperial City, there were thousands of large and small shops and restaurants!

Many of these establishments were owned by major powers.

Sects like the Wangxian Dao Sect, the Blood God Sect, and even the Shi Family had fixed commercial properties in the Imperial City.

The Shi Family had as many as three multi-story commercial buildings in the Imperial City.

Each of them had a Nirvana Realm expert from the Shi Family guarding it!

Chu Yun visited all three commercial buildings of the Shi Family. Because of his status, the guarding Nirvana Realm elders personally received him upon entry.

Chu Yun didn't stand on ceremony. As he walked, if there was anything he wanted, he only had to ask, and the elders would immediately bring it to him without charging a single coin.

This continued until nightfall.

Chu Yun's two storage bags at his waist were filled to the brim as he strode out of the Shi Family's commercial building.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!

The items inside were enough to rival the accumulation of a small sect over ten years.

"Commander Luo, are there any other interesting places in the Imperial City?"

On the street, Chu Yun, still not having had enough for the day, asked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, the most enjoyable place in the entire Imperial City is undoubtedly the Misty Rain Pavilion."

"Oh? Misty Rain Pavilion?"

"The name sounds good. What kind of place is it?" Chu Yun asked curiously.

"Your Highness, there are many things to do in the Misty Rain Pavilion."

"Inside, there are many beautiful courtesans with unparalleled looks. As long as you can afford it, you can listen to their singing and dancing, and spend a night of pleasure."

"Inside, there's even a dueling arena, an auction feast, and they even sell rare exotic beasts, mounts, and so on," Luo Feng explained.

Hearing this, Chu Yun immediately became interested in the Misty Rain Pavilion. "So many attractions?"

"Then what's the origin of the Misty Rain Pavilion? What power is behind it?"

Luo Feng shook his head. "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Chu Yun asked, puzzled.

This was the Great Xia Imperial City. How could Luo Feng, as the commander of the Shadow Guard, not know what power was behind the Misty Rain Pavilion?

"Your Highness, the Misty Rain Pavilion suddenly appeared fifty years ago."

"Their Venerable-level expert entered the palace to speak with His Majesty, requesting permission to establish the Misty Rain Pavilion within the Imperial City."

"The Misty Rain Pavilion would give three-tenths of its annual profits to the royal family."

"Therefore, His Majesty agreed to their terms. However, for safety's sake, we also dispatched our Shadow Guard to secretly monitor the Misty Rain Pavilion for a considerable period. But we found nothing unusual and didn't pay it much further attention."

"According to His Majesty, the people of the Misty Rain Pavilion likely don't belong to this region. They are probably from other areas of the Origin Realm."

"But as long as they don't harm the Imperial Dynasty and can bring benefits to it, His Majesty won't object to their actions," Luo Feng continued.

"Oh? An outside force?"

Chu Yun pondered for a moment, then made a decision. "Let's go. We'll go take a look at the Misty Rain Pavilion."

Luo Feng led the way, and after walking with Chu Yun and Venerable Wan Lei for a short while, they arrived at the Misty Rain Pavilion.

Chu Yun looked up. The entire Misty Rain Pavilion covered an area comparable to a massive mountain range. The palaces were as grand as mountains, and their height even surpassed the top floor of the Shi Family's merchant guild by a significant margin!

The buildings were decorated luxuriously and grandly. The multicolored lights shone upon the palace structures, making it seem as if a fireworks display had truly erupted.

"Three guests, please."

The disciples at the entrance, upon seeing the three of them, politely invited them in.

"The Misty Rain Pavilion has no restrictions. Regardless of one's identity, even if they are just ordinary rogue cultivators, they can enter and spend," Luo Feng explained discreetly.

Chu Yun's expression remained calm.

He strode in with steady steps, leading Luo Feng and Venerable Wan Lei straight inside.

Upon entering the Misty Rain Pavilion, everywhere Chu Yun's gaze fell, he saw magnificent and dazzling halls, their vastness comparable to a wide square.

Besides some disciples of the Misty Rain Pavilion standing at golden counters.

Hundreds of beautiful young women, dressed in dancing attire and revealing their long, shapely legs, danced gracefully under countless gazes, showcasing their charming demeanor.

Wealthy young masters sat at wine tables, with women on either arm, while also throwing money, spirit stones as if they were free, at the girls they fancied, indulging their boundless desires!

Furthermore, many couples were dancing intimately in the adjacent dance hall, their bold interactions filling the air with an ambiguous atmosphere...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"A place like this, in my previous life, would have been far more extravagant than the 'Sea and Sky Feast'."

Chu Yun glanced around. Everything within his sight in the Misty Rain Pavilion gave him quite a shock.

He couldn't help but recall a saying from his previous life.

If you have money, Shanghai is a city of debauchery; if you don't have money, Shanghai only has the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower.

"Commander Luo, where are the auction feast and dueling arena you mentioned?" Chu Yun asked, snapping back to reality.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
