Early the next morning, Lin Qingyang packed up and went downstairs with Cang Mo in his arms.
It's almost late autumn now, and the morning wind is slightly chilly. Lin Qingyang is wearing a moon-white fox collar cloak, and the soft snow-white fluff surrounds his pale cheeks, making his brows and eyes even colder.
Hailan and Mo Yan were already waiting in the lobby. When he saw Lin Qingyang, Hailan's eyes instantly lit up and he greeted him with a smile.
"Immortal Lord Lin, how did you sleep last night?"
As soon as he took a step forward, the black ball of fur in Lin Qingyang's arms suddenly poked its head out, growled in his throat, and bared his teeth at Hailan.
Lin Qingyang smiled helplessly, and scratched the wolf cub's chin teasingly with his slender fingers. He wore a silver-white ring on his thin white ring finger. In order to make Cang Mo give up, he took off the ring before, and found it again last night and put it back on. The one belonging to Cang Mo was now hanging firmly around the wolf cub's neck with a red rope.
Hailan looked at the fierce black leader, paused, looked at Lin Qingyang and said, "Immortal Lord is going to Yudu, and you want to take this little guy with you?"
"No way," Lin Qingyang looked at the hairball in his arms fondly and said with a smile, "He is clingy and can't live without me."
When Cang Mo heard this, his ears twitched proudly, his chin rested on Lin Qingyang's arms, and he rolled his eyes at Hai Lan with a very humane look.
Ku Rong squeezed out of the medicine hut with a huge medicine box on his back. As a doctor, he naturally had to follow and stare at Lin Qingyang's body. What's more, he had to catch a glimpse of the legendary Nirvana Lotus.
Zhu Ji and Feng Yi sent several people to the mechanism hanger with worried faces. Lin Qingyang gave a few instructions and pulled the mechanism.
Jade Capital is located on the far east side of the entire continent, built near the sea. Mo Yan called up the teleportation array and set the location. As a dazzling white light flashed by, the scene in front of several people suddenly changed.
The salty sea breeze blows in your face, mixed with the rich fragrance of powder and mellow alcohol.
When everyone opened their eyes, they were already standing on a wide bluestone long embankment. Behind the long embankment, there were rows of bustling markets built against the mountains. Red lanterns were hung high in restaurants and tea shops, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard constantly, and people walking on the street could be heard. Everyone is dressed in bright clothes, wearing gold and silver, and you can even see many Demon Clans with incomplete transformations walking struttingly on the street. Human and Demon Clanss are surprisingly harmonious here.
"Is this the Jade City?" Mo Yan looked at the luxuriant scene around him.
"This is just the outskirts of Yudu." Hailan said, pointing to the vast sea ahead, "Ten-Thousand-Li Tianyan Array can't enter the main city of Yudu, so we can only get here first."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw at the end of the blue sea, in the lingering clouds and mist, the outline of a huge city appeared faintly, suspended at the junction of water and sky like a mirage, mysterious and extravagant.
"That is the real Jade City." Hailan said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find a boat." Ku Rong looked around, only to find that this huge port was empty. "It's strange, why is there not even a ferry in this place?"
Hai Lan explained, "This area of sea has been placed under ancient restrictions. Ordinary ships cannot float at all. Only Jade City's special guide boats can pass."
"When will the ship come?" Lin Qingyang asked.
Hailan looked at Lin Qingyang and said with a smile, "Go back to Immortal Lord, as long as you stand on this shore, the ship will come naturally."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white wave suddenly appeared on the sea. An extremely exquisite boat broke through the waves. The hull was made of expensive sunken wood, the sides of the boat were inlaid with colorful spiritual stones, and even the sails were woven with crocodile silk. There was an air of luxury everywhere.
The boat was parked steadily on the shore, and a well-dressed young boatman stood on the bow. He bowed slightly to everyone, with an impeccable professional smile on his face, "Are you a few distinguished guests going to Jade City?"
Mo Yan nodded, and habitually inquired first, "How many spiritual stones?"
The boatman smiled and stretched out a finger, "Ten thousand spiritual stones."
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the Jade City in front, and couldn't help frowning. "Just a small waterway, ten thousand spiritual stones?" I just thought that the boatman was ripping off customers.
"Immortal Lord I misunderstood," the boatman's smile was still warm, and his tone was unhurried, "It doesn't matter whether the distance is long or short. The rules of Jade City are that the fee is per head. Each person is charged ten thousand spiritual stones."
Mo Yan was shocked and pointed at the people behind him. "There are four of us here, that's 40,000 spiritual stones?!"
The boatman's eyes turned and landed on the black-haired dumpling in Lin Qingyang's arms. He corrected with a smile, "It's 50,000. It's a pet. It counts as one."
Mo Yan is completely speechless, this is simply a steal!
Hailan saw this and chuckled, "Jade is all priced at this price."
After that, he took out five longan-sized, fluorescent pink pearls from his sleeves. Sea Tribe never uses spiritual stones, so these Top-Grade pearls cost about ten thousand spiritual stones.
The boatman neatly took the pearl and put it away. He turned sideways and made an invitation gesture. "Distinguished guests, please come on board."
Several people got on the boat one after another. Lin Qingyang held the wolf cub and sat down against the side of the boat. Looking at Mo Yan, who still had a pained face, he smiled and said, "A place like Yudu is nothing like this. Anyone can enter. It would be troublesome to check one's financial background one by one, and it would appear to be inferior. Therefore, this high shipping fee is a threshold. If you can't even pay for the ship ticket, you are naturally not qualified to step into this gold-selling cave."
The boat floated slowly across the water, so smoothly that you couldn't even feel the slightest sway.
Mo Yan glanced at the stern of the boat, only to see that the boatman did not swing the oar at all, but put his fingers together and drew a complicated Array. Spiritual Power in mid-air. Under the urging of, the boat automatically moved forward without wind, breaking the waves.
"This is... Tianxuan Pavilion's water-bending formation?" Mo Yan recognized the origin of Array and looked at the boatman in surprise.
"Immortal Lord has good eyesight." the boatman said with a smile.
Mo Yan frowned, subconsciously thinking that this man had broken some sect rules and was expelled from the sect, so he ended up here as a boatman. He couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy in his eyes.
The boatman seemed to have read through his thoughts and chuckled, "Immortal Lord There is no need to look at me like that. The villain was not expelled by the sect, but left the sect on his own initiative and came here to make a living."
Now Mo Yan was even more surprised. "You left the sect and gave up your cultivation just to come here and be a... boatman?"
The boatman smiled and said, "Immortal Lord doesn't know something. The boatmen who guide you in the Jade City are all from the Immortal Sect. The identity of this Immortal Sect disciple sounds nice, but after working hard for half a life, the few spiritual stones I earned in the end can't even afford to ride on the boat I rowed."
Mo Yan said with a look of disapproval, "The pursuit of spiritual practice is the path to immortality. How can it be measured by temporary worldly things?"
The boatman was not angry when he heard this. He had obviously seen many old-fashioned and upright monks like Mo Yan. He still said with a smile, "Money is indeed a common thing, but in this practice, buying elixirs requires money. The magic weapon requires money, and even finding a cave with abundant spiritual energy to retreat requires paying rent. Without this common thing, it is difficult to build a foundation. The villain has mediocre qualifications and no ambitions. He just wants to be rich and famous in this mortal world."
Mo Yan was speechless. He thought this was fallacy, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't find a word to refute. He could only turn his head in frustration and sulk at the sea.
On the sea, the luxurious city in the mist ahead became increasingly clear.
