Nanyun City Sights

After the Universe Galaxy Bank staff left, Zhou Yuan had Beibei close the spacecraft hatch. Then he leaped into the air and flew toward Nanyun City, the largest city on Nanyun Star.

His figure was like lightning, tracing a graceful arc through the sky before quickly vanishing beyond the horizon.

Nanyun City was the core city of Nanyun Star and one of the most prosperous commercial centers in the southern region of the Purple Chen Universe Nation. It housed institutions of the Human Race's five major powers, as well as official offices of the Purple Chen Universe Nation. Shops buying and selling all kinds of treasures were everywhere.

Zhou Yuan could sell off the secondhand equipment in his possession and buy some nutrient solution to prepare for his upcoming secluded cultivation.

After flying for several minutes, Zhou Yuan arrived above Nanyun City. Looking down, he saw an immense city below, with towering buildings packed closely together, busy streets filled with traffic, and crowds flowing endlessly.

Stellar Level experts could be seen everywhere on the streets, mixed among Universe Level experts. One or two Domain Lord level experts could occasionally be spotted as well. However, there were no World Lord level experts in sight. After all, World Lord level experts were already among the universe's top existences and rarely appeared in such ordinary places.

The remote starfield Zhou Yuan had previously lived in rarely even had Universe Level experts on its core planets. Domain Lord level experts were lofty figures whom ordinary people had no chance of meeting.

After arriving on Nanyun Star, however, Domain Lord level experts could be seen even in everyday places. The gap between the two was simply heaven and earth. It made Zhou Yuan realize even more deeply how vast the universe was and how far from sufficient his strength remained.

Zhou Yuan casually found a treasure shop called Easy Treasure Studio. The sign above its entrance bore the words "Under an Immortal God," making it appear extremely influential.

Zhou Yuan entered the shop. The interior was extravagantly decorated, and its walls were lined with all kinds of precious treasures that gave off a faint glow. The staff wore matching uniforms and looked highly professional.

Zhou Yuan took out the useless equipment and miscellaneous items in his possession and handed them to a staff member. After carefully examining them, the staff member gave him a price. "Sir, your equipment and miscellaneous items are worth a total of twelve million Universe Coins. Is that acceptable?"

Zhou Yuan nodded. "That's fine." Those pieces of equipment and miscellaneous items were already useless to him, so selling them for twelve million Universe Coins was quite good. The staff member immediately processed the transaction and transferred twelve million Universe Coins into Zhou Yuan's account.

Next came the purchase of nutrient solution. Ordinary shops did not sell nutrient solution; only Purple Chen Pavilion, the Purple Chen Universe Nation's exclusive store, carried it. Zhou Yuan checked the route and flew toward Purple Chen Pavilion.

Purple Chen Pavilion stood in the central district of Nanyun City. It was a gigantic building several hundred meters tall, magnificent in appearance and full of royal grandeur. When Zhou Yuan entered, he found the decor even more luxurious. The floors were paved with precious jade, while the walls were set with all kinds of gemstones, dazzling the eye.

A staff member from Purple Chen Pavilion immediately came over and asked with a smile, "Sir, what do you need?"

Zhou Yuan replied, "I need restorative nutrient solution." He had looked into it before. There were two kinds of nutrient solution, one of which was used purely to restore genetic energy and was relatively cheap.

The other kind was more advanced. It contained life energy and could promote physical evolution, costing more than ten thousand times as much as ordinary nutrient solution.

Advanced nutrient solution was generally used by major powers for their core disciples. It allowed those disciples to save time accumulating genetic energy and devote more time to comprehending laws.

"Sir, how much do you need?" the staff member continued to ask with a smile.

"Two hundred tons. I also need to rent a medium-sized nutrient chamber," Zhou Yuan answered.

He had checked the information before. C-grade restorative nutrient solution cost ten million Universe Coins per ton. Two hundred tons were worth two billion Universe Coins, which he could still afford with his current wealth.

Nutrient chambers generally came in three sizes: large, medium, and small. Based on the size of a human lying inside, small chambers were suitable for humans under ten meters tall, medium chambers for humans under one hundred meters tall, and large chambers for humans under one thousand meters tall.

After Zhou Yuan successfully cultivated the first level of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, his body would grow to twenty meters tall. A medium-sized nutrient chamber would suit him perfectly.

"Very well, sir. Sorry for the wait." After speaking, the staff member turned and went to retrieve the goods. Before long, he returned with a contract and handed it to Zhou Yuan. "Sir, please confirm the contract. Once it is signed, you may collect the goods."

Zhou Yuan carefully reviewed the contract. After confirming with Beibei that there were no problems, he added his spiritual imprint. Spiritual imprints were the most effective anti-counterfeiting mark in the universe. Every person's spiritual imprint was unique and could not be copied.

After the contract was signed, the staff member took out a spatial ring and handed it to Zhou Yuan. "Sir, all the nutrient solution you requested is in this spatial ring. Please check it. Payment can be made at the counter. The nutrient solution costs two billion Universe Coins. We will let you use the nutrient chamber free of charge for one year, as long as you do not take it off Nanyun Star."

Zhou Yuan accepted the spatial ring and scanned it with his divine sense. After confirming that it contained two hundred tons of nutrient solution, he went to the counter and paid with his bank card. Two billion Universe Coins were instantly deducted from his account, causing his balance to drop sharply.

After leaving Purple Chen Pavilion, Zhou Yuan had finished buying and selling everything he needed. He flew directly toward Nan Yun Real Estate Leasing Company. He needed to rent a place to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique in seclusion.

Nan Yun Real Estate Leasing Company was easy to find, located not far from Purple Chen Pavilion. Zhou Yuan entered the company, where the staff warmly introduced him to various types of properties.

In the end, Zhou Yuan chose a castle located on a mountain not far from Nanyun City. The surroundings were very quiet, and it could block spiritual-force detection, making it highly suitable for secluded cultivation.

Zhou Yuan arrived at the castle he had rented. It was roughly three kilometers long and wide, tall and majestic, and looked extremely sturdy. The castle was fully equipped with bedrooms, a living room, cultivation rooms, a kitchen, and everything else one could need. Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction. This truly was an excellent place for secluded cultivation.

In the largest room of the castle, Zhou Yuan took out the nutrient chamber, which was more than a hundred meters long. After adjusting its interior to the required size, he poured the nutrient solution inside. The nutrient solution instantly filled the entire chamber, giving off a faint fragrance.

Zhou Yuan put away his genetic energy battle suit and lay inside the nutrient chamber. As he felt the nutrient solution envelop his body, a warm sensation spread throughout him.

"Finally, I can cultivate in peace." Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and thought to himself. He knew that the coming period of secluded cultivation would be extremely arduous, but he was fully prepared. He would use this time to complete the first level of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and raise his strength to another level.
