Chapter 696

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao. I have a way to get money."

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat strange. "Wait for me a moment."

With that, Ye Xuan turned into a beam of light and shot underground.

About the time it took to drink half a cup of tea later, Ye Xuan suddenly emerged from the ground. Taking out a fist-sized crystal, he said to Xiao Lingyu, "Senior Brother Xiao, this is a spirit stone, a very high-grade form of currency. As long as you're willing to join the Carefree Sect, its disciples will post bounty missions. You can accept them to earn spirit stones and exchange them for cultivation resources."

Xiao Lingyu shook his head. "I still prefer earning money on my own. Let's go to Eternal City first."

Ye Xuan did not press the matter. He put away the crystal and flew with Xiao Lingyu toward Carefree City on their swords.

"Brother Xiao, what kind of force is the Carefree Sect?"

Ye Xuan asked along the way.

"The Carefree Sect has only three Nirvana Stage elders in Carefree City. All of them are surnamed Qin, but they do not live in the city. They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests outside it," Xiao Lingyu explained.

Carefree City was not far from that mountain. At Xiao Lingyu's speed, they reached Carefree City in no more than the time it took to eat a meal.

Outside the gates of Carefree City lay an expansive grassland. At the end of the grassland stood several massive palace-like pavilions, with a row of houses beside them that seemed to be the garrison camp
