This was the first time the Rhine Clan had led a large group of its members to Falling Rain City.
Before their departure, the Rhine Clan had already established the following arrangements for their regular trips to Falling Rain City Falling Rain City: once every hundred years; each person would pay a fee of five Nether Stone; each trip would be led by Delisha's Lightning Clone and Anya, who had refined High Godhead, with subsequent adjustments to be determined; each trip would last for one month in Falling Rain City, with further notice for any delays.
Jason sat in the Metallic Airship, and thinking of Kasabu's tragic death last time, Jason sighed.
In addition to Delisha's Lightning Clone and Anya, who was refining High Godhead, the team was also led by Jason, an elder, and Maisiji, a director.
In addition, there were fifty-three members of the Rhine Clan, most of whom were Lowgod.
Anya looked down at the mountains and vegetation below and said, "Chief, this Metallic Airship is truly peculiar. It's only at the Saint-level level, yet it can carry so many people to such a height. Even Midgod in the Netherworld can't fly this high."
After Kasabu's death, Delisha did not allow any other members of her clan to refine High Godhead. Therefore, Anya is considered one of only two Highgod in the Rhine Clan.
"I acquired these Metallic Airship by accident after arriving in the Netherworld. I don't know how they work," Delisha replied dismissively.
Maisiji looked at Jason, after all, his son was someone who had been to Falling Rain City and "seen the world".
"Don't look at me, I don't know the principle either, but they are indeed sold in the city, with prices ranging from 100,000 to 2 million Nether Stone." Jason shrugged, thinking that Delisha already had Metallic Airship when she was on the Yulan Continent.
Maisiji is still Lowgod. He came here mainly because he is in charge of the operation of the family's "internal shops". He came to the city to determine the prices of various goods so that he can set prices after returning to the family.
Looking down at the Saint-level beings who resembled ants, Maisiji sighed, "Back in the Yulan Continent, I never imagined such a day would come. Back then, even breaking through to the Saint-level was a matter of luck."
Anya hugged her husband. "I'm quite emotional too, after all, it took me thousands of years to even get started with the basics of Profound Mysteries arts."
"I dare say Jason definitely anticipated that he would rise above the Saint-level!" Delisha suddenly made a lame joke.
Jason, who was still mourning Kasabu, suddenly snapped to attention and looked at the calmly sipping tea-drinking clan leader Delisha: "Clan leader, you've been accumulating strength for a long time, and after Destruction Clone, you have the strength of Six-Star Fiend. How dare you say that to me?"
"I feel that if your two clones break through to the Highgod, they will be at the level of Six-Star Fiend. Fortunately, your other clones didn't come, otherwise I would worry that you might usurp the throne in the future!" Delisha was probably sensing Jason's potential, or perhaps she was in a good mood due to her recent breakthrough, and she was unusually unpretentious.
"It's not that easy. Of the nine Profound Mysteries of Lightning Element, I've only mastered two, and even just scratched the surface of the other two," Jason said, deflecting the question.
"Then your potential is even greater!" Delisha chuckled.
Maisiji and Anya exchanged a glance. In their eyes, Delisha was a serious person, especially since she was the Violet-Eyed Bladewing Fiend, whose bloodline was filled with madness. They never expected her to be so approachable in front of Jason.
The Rhine Clan's Metallic Airship is shaped like a long sword, a shape not commonly used by surrounding powers, thus attracting the covetous eyes of many.
Several groups of bandits tried to intercept them, but Delisha's Lightning Clone swiftly killed their leaders, and the remaining bandits naturally scattered when their leader fell.
Bandit gangs led by Five-Star Fiend, like the one the Rhine Clan recently wiped out, are mostly found on the border routes of each prefecture, and are rarely seen around cities; as for bandit gangs with Six-Star Fiend or even Seven Star Fiend, they all have powerful backers, only attack specific targets, and rarely make a move.
Upon arriving at the city gate of Falling Rain City, the Metallic Airship landed, and the members emerged one by one.
Jason, who was in charge of leading the group, directly gave fifty-seven Nether Stone to the people at the entrance— the Rhine Clan wouldn't make its members pay the entrance fee themselves.
"Hmm!--" This was the first time the members of the Rhine Clan had come to Falling Rain City.
"Everyone, don't get separated. Let me first give you a basic overview of the city," Jason said as he handed out badges.
The Rhine Clan had already researched this kind of badge that could identify friend or foe after recognizing a master, and a batch had been made before they arrived.
"Let's go to the center of the city first," Jason transmitted telepathically.
"From east to west, there are three castles. The one with a one-eyed statue surrounded by green flames and an overall black color is the ' Fiend Castle '; the one with a white skull and an overall gray and white color scheme is the ' North Skeleton Castle '; and the one built from countless pale white bones is the Netherworld's underground black market, the ' Specter Castle '." Jason briefly introduced the functions of the three castles, and then led his people to the house they had previously bought.
"This house will be our family's base in Falling Rain City from now on. Fighting is not allowed in the city, not even in the house itself. We'll be staying in Falling Rain City for a while since this is our first time here. If you gain any insights, remember to be careful not to make too much noise when you're deducing the laws!" Jason instructed.
After that, the Rhine Clan members disbanded and explored the city on their own.
Only Delisha, Maisiji, Anya, and Jason remained.
"Let's register your names and bloodlines in this house first, then we'll go to North Skeleton Castle."
There are five designated owners for this house. Since Kasabu died, more owners are needed to prevent Jason and Landon from dying unexpectedly.
Things went very smoothly; we could register as homeowners directly at the back of the North Skeleton Castle sales hall.
The four then arrived at the third floor of the receiving area in the Northbone Hall.
Jason pulled out the plaque he'd received last time. "Volvo Brothers, do you remember me?"
"Oh! Jason, long time no see. Hmm?" The receiving clerk Volvo, looked behind Jason: "And who are these people?"
"The previous head of the family had some personal matters to attend to. This time, it's our Lady Delisha and a few members of the clan who are here to sell things," Jason said evasively, without mentioning Kasabu's death.
"Welcome!"
This time, it was Maisiji who negotiated. "Could you please check the price of this fruit?"
Blue Jade Fruit —although the Rhine Clan doesn't want to sell this fruit in large quantities right now, they still need to determine its price.
Volvo examined it for a moment. "This kind of fruit isn't found in the Northbone Hall of Falling Rain City. It's a water-attribute and life-attribute fruit, and I can sense that it contains Soul Essence. Uh, sir, could you explain its effects in detail?"
Maisiji nodded. "As you said, this fruit is called the Blue Jade Fruit. It contains the Soul Essence of a Saint-level soul, and it also has a 'refreshing' effect, making the mind clear for ten days."
Volvo nodded. "The 'energizing' effect doesn't seem to help break through bottlenecks, does it?"
"No," Maisiji replied truthfully.
"In that case, I will purchase five Soul Gold Bead at one-fifth of the price in the Northbone Hall, which is 4200 Nether Stone each. Our staff will try them out, and the final price will be determined in ten days based on the specific effects. Would you please come back in ten days?"
"Sure." Maisiji readily agreed to the trade, paying five Blue Jade Fruit.
Then, Maisiji took out a Interspatial Ring: "Here are one hundred ' Blood Blade ' and this High Godhead. Please name your price."
Volvo laughed, "Based on the pricing we Jason on last time, it's 3,500 Nether Stone per bundle. High Godhead would normally cost 7 million per stone, so I'll give you 7.3 million per stone, totaling 7.65 million. Please check it out."
After confirming, Maisiji said, "Thank you. We'll see each other often in the future."
Thank you for your patronage!
"These Nether Stone are for you to use. Thank you for your hard work from now on," Delisha transmitted telepathically.
"It is my duty," Maisiji said respectfully.
Maisiji then took charge of internal family transactions, and these Nether Stone were the seed money Delisha gave him.
Afterwards, the four of them strolled around the third floor of the Northbone Hall and checked the prices of various goods.
To the surprise of her companions, Delisha bought a bottle of "Water of the Yellow Springs River" on the third floor to try, and then bought more than twenty more bottles.
Jason became even more certain that Delisha possessed a Soul Defense Divine Artifact, or even Sovereign Artifact, capable of rapidly absorbing the "Water of the Yellow Springs River."
"It seems Delisha has some confidence coming to the Netherworld," Jason thought to himself.
