Chapter 228: Thunder City
"Of course not, I naturally came, with an elder in the family;" Lu Ling replied quickly and naturally.
The old man squinted, looked directly at Lu Ling with a slight smile, and didn't say a word, the two just looked at each other in embarrassment.
Lu Ling was a little weak-hearted, he was already lying, and his face was even more red at this time, and a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that this was a good boy who couldn't lie and wanted to learn badly.
Lu Ling didn't want to continue this stalemate, so he pretended to be angry and said, "I said senior, I just want to enter a city, is it necessary to ask so clearly?"
The old man laughed, and Lu Ling's face turned even redder, what does this old man mean.
After a while, the old man said: "The old man is just curious, and he is bored to ask, don't be so small-bellied! After all, there are not many Spirit King Realm martial artists like you who can walk to my Thunder City alone;"
Lu Ling's face was embarrassed, and he just wanted to explain, but the old man put away his smiling face and said: "To enter Thunder City, you need to apply for an entry order, and you can only enter the city with an entry order, and you need two hundred first-grade energy crystals;"
The old man's flat tone was as if two hundred first-grade energy crystals were like two hundred gold coins.
Lu Ling originally felt that he was a little embarrassed to deceive the old man, but who knew that this old man suddenly came out like this.
Lu Ling said angrily: "What, why don't you rob it, I have only entered the imperial capital, and you are embarrassed to open your mouth for two hundred yuan;"
"The imperial capital is the imperial capital, Lei Cheng is Lei City, and the price of Lei Cheng is already the price of conscience;" The old man explained with an unchanged expression.
Lu Ling wanted to curse too much, but he was afraid of arousing the anger of this old man, he didn't forget that he was facing a Spirit Emperor Realm martial artist now.
It's so annoying: "I~ I'm not going in;"
Lu Ling turned around and wanted to leave, but the old man laughed again and said, "I think you have probably experienced the crisis in Senzeri, and being able to get here means that you have not encountered the siege of the fourth-order earth rhino beasts, and you can't enter the city, so let it be, the old man will continue to sleep;"
"Wait~"
Lu Ling's footsteps that had already taken him stopped, turned around with a dark face and said, "Two hundred is two hundred, give me one;"
Hearing the old man say, there really is a fourth-order spirit beast in this, and the earth rhinoceros beast in his mouth should be the kind of spirit beast that drilled into the ground that besieged him before, and it seems that there are not many fourth-order existences, and he doesn't dare to venture into this place called Sen Ze anymore.
At least he didn't dare now, if he really wanted to encounter the siege of the fourth-order spirit beasts, not to mention the fog insects in the sky, he would simply commit suicide, so as not to be torn apart alive and die of pain.
The main thing is that in the distant sky, that white fog has reappeared.
The old man was very efficient, the money and goods were clear, he got a very ordinary wooden card two fingers wide, the workmanship was very casual, there were still sawdust in the corners that had not been removed, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, Lu Ling held back his anger and jumped on the city wall.
The wooden sign actually lit up at the moment when he entered the city wall, and a net-like light pattern emerged, and he passed through it without hindrance, before it was quiet outside the city, and the moment he entered the city, a noisy sound came, and at the same time, the aura that was several times richer than the outside world wrapped him, so that his fatigue disappeared a little.
"This city actually has a large protective array, and it has been open;" Lu Ling was surprised in his heart, but he looked at the city quietly.
There are people coming and going on the streets, there are not so many people, but it is quite lively, although all kinds of luxurious attics are not high, but they also abound, they are quite exquisitely built, few people pay attention to his arrival, many people just look at him indifferently and continue to busy themselves.
The city wall is vertical to the outside, but it is inclined to the inside, and it is no problem to allow people to walk, he just wanted to leave, but the old man suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, startling him, and did not allow Lu Ling to say more,
The old man smiled and said: "Welcome to stay in Thunder City, you have to abide by the rules of Thunder City in Thunder City, you can take this and see it, it's free;"
The old man was afraid that Lu Ling would not answer, so he finally explained, and after speaking, he disappeared directly, leaving only an afterimage for Lu Ling.
Lu Ling was envious and held this piece of paper at the same time, his face turned darker at a glance, there were not many rules, except for a few rules that he still understood, the other two he really wanted to scold, these two were like this.
"The Entry Order can only be used by one guest to enter and exit once, and the next time you enter the city, you will need to purchase a new one;"
"Outsiders only have three days of free stay in the city, and the stay time will be calculated according to one hundred first-grade energy crystals every day in the future, and those who do not pay for one day will be expelled and fined for not entering the city again for one month, otherwise they will need to pay ten times the entrance fee;"
Lu Ling was in a particularly bad mood, he felt that he had entered a den of thieves, and he walked quickly to the street, blended into the crowd, and when he came back to his senses, he paused again.
Looking at the people around him, he said in surprise: "What's the situation?How is this city~ Why is everyone so strong?"
He was angry with the old man just now, so he didn't pay attention to the situation in the city for a while, but now that he was in it, he was shocked to find out.
All the people around him, no matter what they do, the mainstream is dominated by martial artists in the Spirit King Realm, and occasionally a person he can't see through walks by, most of them are in the Spirit Emperor Realm, as for the lower-level martial artists in the Tongtian Realm, it is even more difficult to meet than the Spirit Emperor Realm.
"The imperial capital is not so terrifying;" Lu Ling muttered in a low voice.
He walked slowly, even if it was a simple small vendor on the side of the road, there was no shortage of existences of the same level as him.
And those things sold by the stalls are also not simple, he has not seen many treasures below the third order, although he has not seen the fourth order, but this has made him unable to calm down.
"This Thunder City, why haven't I heard anyone talk about it outside?Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, I can understand the reason why the entrance fee is so expensive;" Lu Ling said with a big breath.
Exhaling softly, Lu Ling set his eyes on the dazzling array of goods and shops around him, and he was dazzled for a while.
All kinds of noble and special silk clothes, all kinds of precious materials, many spiritual herbs and elixirs that he knew and very few that he didn't know, as well as countless strange weapons and treasures, and even those who sold spirit beasts, this place was not the most prosperous and lively city he had ever seen, but it was definitely the most powerful and wealthy city he had ever seen.
For a while, Lu Ling became more and more energetic, and he felt like a countryman entering the city, and he felt very strange when he saw everything, just like the first time he visited the county town of Zhongping County.
He walked all the way, didn't buy anything, but he was shopping in a good way, and suddenly a scene flashed in front of his eyes, and he took a few steps back to look at a store.
A group of people were haggling with the shopkeeper about what they were going to buy, and it was a white ore, white and shiny, a precious ore that he had only seen in books.
Lu Ling thought in amazement: "I'll drop a good one, at least three thousand years of Mithril Essence, such a good thing can actually be bought in the store?"
Mithril Ore Essence is the essence part produced in many Mithril ores, even if a person who can't refine a weapon, holding a piece of Mithril Mineral Essence, just take out a small half catty and put it together with the weapon, heat it with high temperature, and after the weapon is completely absorbed, you can make a fourth-order weapon upgrade by a small level.
This is an extremely rare ore that can be integrated into a weapon to improve its quality without the help of a refiner.
Even if this thing is placed in the imperial capital, you don't want to buy it directly from the store, even if it is auctioned, it depends on whether you are lucky enough, otherwise you won't be able to meet it, today he saw a piece.
Lu Ling walked in, just met a few people who were bargaining and walked away dissatisfied, and scolded, the middle-aged shopkeeper smiled politely, and prepared to close the box containing the Mithril Essence.
"This~ uncle, how do you sell this thing?" Lu Ling walked over and hurriedly asked.
Just now, he was still thinking bitterly, someone actually took the lead, and he didn't think that people wouldn't buy it, how could he miss it.
The middle-aged shopkeeper casually raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Ling, and said lightly: "If the little brother wants to buy it, according to the previous negotiation with this guest, 1.1 million first-grade energy crystals, or 10,000 second-grade energy crystals;"
"What... What~ so expensive?" Lu Ling said in surprise.
Lu Ling knew the value of the silver-veined mineral essence, this piece of Mithril mineral essence was estimated to be no less than ten catties, this thing was only effective for fourth-order weapons, and it was estimated that it should be worth five thousand two-grade energy crystals, that is, five hundred thousand one-grade energy crystals, and as soon as the other party opened his mouth, it was ten thousand twelve grade energy crystals, this price was too unexpected for him, no wonder the person before didn't want it.
Seeing Lu Ling's changing face, the middle-aged shopkeeper shook his head and closed the box.
"If customers think it's expensive, they can look at the other things in the store;" the middle-aged shopkeeper continued politely.
On the side, the middle-aged man in the gorgeous robe who wanted to buy before turned around and reminded loudly: "Little brother, you better go, he is clearly cheating people, this Mithril Ore Essence is worth at most 8,000 second-grade energy crystals;"
There is also a strong man with an exceptionally calm gaze beside the middle-aged man, the strong man is bare-chested and exposed, and his chest reveals a slanted, very long scar that extends to the clothes.
However, this middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe seems to be a little noble, most likely of having a good background and coming from a big force.
He couldn't see through the realm of the two of them, and Lu Ling smiled politely: "Thank you for the reminder, but, 12,000 energy crystals, this Mithril Mineral Essence~ I want it;"
Lu Ling's boldness directly surprised the three people present, he directly threw out a bunch of second-grade energy crystals in a very chic manner, and then took away the Mithril Essence in the hands of the middle-aged shopkeeper.
Then he said: "If there are any good treasures in the store, you can take them out, and if the price is right, Young Master Ben can buy them;"
Although Lu Ling's clothes were a little tattered at this time, it was strange that no one underestimated him, on the contrary, some of the people who saw him even showed a trace of admiration in their eyes, which he had already noticed on the street just now, although he didn't know why, but it saved him more explanations.
The middle-aged man immediately showed a flattering smile and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely give you good things in the future;"
