City of Slaughter
Blood Moon World.
Led by the boy, Chen Changqing soon arrived outside a city.
Looking out, a majestic black city came into view.
The entire city was shrouded in a dense Blood Sha Qi, like a lurking ferocious beast.
The city walls were cast from an unknown black metal, their surface covered with jagged spikes and dried bloodstains.
"Senior, this is the City of Slaughter."
Just as they were about to reach the city gate, the boy suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
Chen Changqing frowned slightly, looking at the boy with a hint of confusion.
Under Chen Changqing's intense gaze, the boy quickly pursed his lips and explained:
"I need to return to my Lineage, so I won't accompany you, senior."
"I hope you won't take offense, senior!"
As he spoke, the young man bowed to Chen Changqing in apology.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing smiled faintly, not taking it to heart. Then, with a thought, he directly retrieved a round pill from his Heaven-Stepping Ring.
This elixir is for nothing else.
It was none other than the Xuan Yuan Pill, a fifth-grade Mysterious Origin Pill Hua Yao had given Chen Changqing before he entered the Universe Secret Realm.
"We are destined to meet."
"I'll give you this pill."
After saying that, Chen Changqing tossed the Mysterious Origin Pill to the boy.
After receiving the pill, the boy's face turned pale, and his expression was filled with disbelief.
"This... this is a top-grade elixir?"
He said in a daze, his hands holding the Mysterious Origin Pill trembling uncontrollably.
It should be noted that elixirs are already a scarce commodity in the Blood Moon World.
Not to mention that it's a pill of this grade.
If someone knew how to refine pills, they would undoubtedly be a highly respected guest of all the major powers.
The Mysterious Origin Pill that Chen Changqing casually gave to the boy was a fifth-grade pill, also known as a Heavenly Grade pill in the Blood Moon World.
Even among the Four Great Families, a pill of this quality would be considered a treasure.
"Senior, I... I merely showed you the way, and you've already given me such a valuable elixir. This... this isn't quite right, is it?"
The boy stammered, seemingly hesitant to accept the money.
This elixir was simply far too precious for him.
Moreover, it was Chen Changqing who had previously killed those who were chasing him.
For the boy, Chen Changqing was his savior, and that favor was already immense.
Now that Chen Changqing has offered him such valuable pills as a gift, he finds it difficult to accept.
Seeing the boy's hesitant and uncertain expression.
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:
"Take it!"
"This elixir will be of great use to you."
Without waiting for the boy's reply, Chen Changqing turned and walked towards the city gate of Slaughter City.
For Chen Changqing, elixirs and the like were of little use.
Feeling that he and the boy were destined to meet, he decided to grant him a fortuitous opportunity.
Of course, if Hua Yao knew about this, she would probably feel very bad.
You should know that's a fifth-grade elixir.
The Nascent Soul Pill, which can enable Purple Mansion Cultivator to step into the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Pill, is only of the fifth grade.
In addition, the Universe Secret Realm was previously opened.
Chen Yong entered the Secret Realm and found only a fourth-grade Barrier-Breaking Pill, which he considered a great gain. After using the pill to break through to the Golden Core level, he left the Secret Realm.
This shows just how rare a fifth-grade elixir is.
The boy watched Chen Changqing's figure gradually disappear into the distance, his eyes filled with gratitude, and he firmly imprinted Chen Changqing's image in his mind.
Before long, Chen Changqing arrived at the city gate of the City of Slaughter.
"Halt! Cultivator!"
A shout came from behind, blocking Chen Changqing's way.
At the city gate, there was a squad of guards clad in black armor.
The guards all had Blood Moon Marks on their foreheads, gleaming with a dark red light.
These guards were not weak either, with the leader being Moon Rank, equivalent to Core Formation among Human Race Cultivators.
They weren't surprised to see Chen Changqing; they simply stopped him.
Chen Changqing had learned this from the boy on the way to the City of Slaughter.
Occasionally, other Cultivators from outside the Blood Moon World will appear, but as native beings of the Blood Moon World, they cannot leave this realm.
These visiting Cultivators varied in strength.
It is said that the strongest outsider Cultivator even snatched an Immortal Artifact from the hands of the Four Great Families.
The fact that the foreign Cultivator could do this demonstrates his immense power.
After all, each of the Four Great Families in the Blood Moon World has a powerful expert from the September Rank, who is equivalent to a Tribulation Transcendence expert among Human Race Cultivators!
After blocking Chen Changqing's path, the guards began to look him over.
After a brief inspection, the leading guard spoke:
"The outsider Cultivators want to enter the city."
"One hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones are required!"
Upon hearing the guard's words, Chen Changqing was startled and somewhat taken aback.
"What?"
How much did you say?
The guard glared at him coldly and repeated:
One hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones!
After confirming that he would have to pay one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones, Chen Changqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"This is way too dark!"
"Just entering the city requires paying so many Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing came to his senses, and with a thought, he directly took out one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to the guard.
Although he felt the city entry fee was a bit high, Chen Changqing didn't pay much attention to it.
Compared to entering the Universe Secret Realm, the entrance fee of one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones seems insignificant.
After all, the Dao Sect's Universe Secret Realm requires a fee of 10,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stones to gain entry each time it opens, unless one has connections.
At this moment, the leading guard checked the Spirit Stones given by Chen Changqing and, after confirming their accuracy, asked:
What's your name?
Chen Changqing snapped out of his daze and replied:
"Li Feiyu!"
The guard nodded and then handed a Token to Chen Changqing.
Having obtained the Token, Chen Changqing prepared to enter the city.
They had only taken a few steps when a being from the Blood Moon World arrived, also wanting to enter the city.
"A Lower-grade Spirit Stone!"
The lead guard glanced at the creature casually and said this.
After paying a Lower-grade Spirit Stone, the local creature took the Token and swaggered into the city.
"This?"
"Holy crap!"
This is blatant robbery!
Chen Changqing cursed inwardly, never expecting such a big difference between Cultivator and local Cultivators.
Native creatures of the Blood Moon World can enter the city by paying a Lower-grade Spirit Stone.
Foreign Cultivators, on the other hand, need to pay one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
The difference is not small.
What are you standing there for?
"If you don't want to enter the city, I can return the Spirit Stones to you!"
Just as Chen Changqing was in a daze, the leading guard suddenly glared at him.
Chen Changqing smiled faintly, not caring at all; after all, this was someone else's territory.
After pausing for a moment, he turned and walked into the city.
