Chen Qingyu was slightly startled, and a sense of vigilance quickly rose in his heart.
However, once he saw the group of people surrounding him clearly, his expression relaxed.
Sir/Madam! Looking for a room? Our Minyue Tower is the largest inn in Four Directions City!
Does this young master need a guide? I've lived in Four Directions City for decades, and I know every blade of grass and every tree intimately.
Make way, everyone! This distinguished guest is the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion.
A large group of people surrounded Chen Qingyu, chattering amongst themselves.
Apart from a small number of people who were testing the waters or trying to recruit him, most of them were people trying to do business with him.
After all, those who can travel by teleportation array are either very rich or very powerful, and their status is extraordinary.
These people are usually generous spenders and are the most extravagant customers, so naturally Heavenly Capital.
Of course:
If these people knew he came from the Divine Capital, they probably wouldn't dare to come forward, lest they offend such an important person.
Well
Chen Qingyu looked around, pointed to a young man, and said:
I need a guide, and you're the one.
Alright!
The young man he had chosen was immediately overjoyed and exclaimed repeatedly:
Thank you, sir! You have excellent taste!
The others expressed their disappointment, but dared not linger and wisely left.
Sir, this way please.
The young man stepped forward, smiling obsequiously:
Whether you're visiting relatives and friends, or sightseeing and exploring famous landmarks, I guarantee your satisfaction.
Chen Qingyu raised an eyebrow and said:
Just call me Young Master Chen, that's fine.
Okay.
The young man immediately complied, repeatedly saying:
Young Master Chen, please follow me.
Chen Qingyu followed behind him, walking out of the teleportation array area. Looking at the crowd of people jostling around him, he casually asked:
Are there many people coming to Four Directions City?
The young man led the way while answering:
Of course there are many. Four Directions City is the largest city within a radius of millions of miles, with hundreds of thousands of people coming and going every day.
However, there are far fewer distinguished individuals like Young Master Chen who can arrive here via teleportation array; on average, there are fewer than ten such people each day.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and said:
By the way, how much would it cost to hire you for a day?
Upon hearing this, the young man turned around and said with a forced smile:
Young Master Chen, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate.
Oh
Chen Qingyu chuckled and said:
You're quite clever, go ahead.
He casually tossed out a spirit crystal, which was immediately caught by the nimble young man.
However, the young man's expression changed immediately after just one glance. As if he had received a hot potato, he quickly lowered his head and respectfully handed it back.
What? You don't want the money anymore?
Chen Qingyu glanced at him in surprise.
This gentleman, no, Young Master Chen
The young man gave a wry smile and said in a low voice:
Your single spirit crystal is worth more than a hundred pieces of blood jade and tens of thousands of taels of silver.
I dare not take this thing, otherwise, the moment you leave Four Directions City, I will die a violent death in the street and be thrown into the mass grave outside the city.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu paused for a moment before nodding and saying:
It was I who hadn't considered it carefully.
Having lived in the Divine Capital for many years, he had everything he wanted, drinking heavenly dew and earthly milk, and eating dragon meat and demon marrow. He was really not very clear about the value of currency in this world.
He arrived here via a teleportation array, making him a true VIP. Countless eyes were watching him as he passed by.
If this young man hadn't been quick-witted and hadn't succumbed to greed, he might have truly met with disaster.
Let's forget about it then.
Chen Qingyu reached out, retrieved the spirit crystal, and casually said:
Then take me to a place that sells maps, and I'll exchange some money for it for you.
Okay.
The young man's expression brightened, and he said repeatedly:
Young Master Chen, this way please.
Half an hour later.
Chen Qingyu walked out of the bookstore and casually tossed a blood-red jade stone to the young man.
Thank you, Mr. Chen.
The young man quickly accepted it, his face beaming with excitement, and thanked him repeatedly.
Um
Chen Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then said:
Are there any exceptionally talented individuals in this city who have suddenly risen to prominence and achieved great success?
The young man paused for a moment:
A prodigy who suddenly rises to prominence and soars to great heights?
right.
Chen Qingyu nodded and asked:
Are there such people in this Four Directions City?
Although the Ninth Ancestor and the others could not determine exactly when the Great Void Primal Spirit was reincarnated, it should not have been long ago.
It could take anywhere from a few years or a dozen years to at most a few decades or a hundred years.
After all, judging from the terrifying potential and rapid rise of the Great Void Primal Spirit...
If it has already reincarnated for hundreds or thousands of years, it would be invincible long ago. There would be no need for it to hide; it could simply reclaim its original form openly and honestly. Who would dare to say a word against that?
Well
The young man thought for a moment and then said:
There are quite a few such outstanding individuals; let me think...
He pondered for a moment, then named several people, all of whom were said to be renowned talents in Four Directions City.
Some are young children in families who spend their days eating, drinking, and playing, and are not valued, and then suddenly one day they explode.
What else? A disciple of a declining minor sect suddenly obtains some fortuitous opportunity, finds a powerful backer, and soars to great heights;
There are even rumors that the current city lord's mentally challenged third son is secretly a rising star who has recently won the title of the number one in Four Directions City. He has been hiding for more than 20 years and is actually unfathomable.
However
Chen Qingyu was initially somewhat interested, but after asking a few questions, he was greatly disappointed.
The reason is simple:
These so-called geniuses who are famous and renowned Four Directions City, the strongest of them all, the one who stands out from the crowd, is the one who has cleared the fifth floor of the War God Tower in [ Golden Bridge Heaven ].
He couldn't even get onto the Overall War God Rankings in [ Golden Bridge Heaven ].
This talent has reportedly caused a sensation far and wide, and is hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius in the Four Directions City.
Such a level of skill would be laughed to death by his peers if placed among the direct descendants of the Chen Clan family in the Divine Capital Changluo.
It seems I 'Divine Capital for too long, and have become somewhat unrealistic.
Chen Qingyu understood this and couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Such so-called prodigies and heroes might actually be Great Void Primal Spirit concealing their identities.
But there are countless people like that across the entire Desolate Continent; it's impossible for him to search for them one by one and identify them based on some kind of mystical intuition, right?
well!
It seems this really is all down to luck; we'll just have to see if fate allows.
Forcing a search would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, a complete waste of time and energy.
He shook his head at this thought.
Oh, my dear ancestors, you've really given me a difficult problem.
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
