Chapter 851: Breaking through
Along the way, Zhou Li rarely relaxed, naturally wanted to take a hot bath, and then taste the delicious food here.
"Let's go to the inn first. Zhou Li said lightly.
The level of a middle-aged cultivator is actually a high-level Venerable, and on the surface, it is not weaker than Zhou Li at all. It's just that his age is only a high-level Venerable at this time, and he can only be said to have average qualifications, and he won't have much of a breakthrough.
Maybe the other party can only barely enter the level of the Sage in his life.
Not everyone can make a lot of money, and for this kind of city that is not close to the active area of Warcraft, there is no such thing as getting rich overnight. They can only take advantage of the advantages here and make money by various means.
Tour guides, the income is not high.
But Zhou Li is not a little white who doesn't know anything, every tour guide, they will cooperate with some inns and restaurants, etc., every time they bring a customer to the door, they will have a commission, plus some income from the tour guide, which is enough for their living needs.
With good luck, it is not difficult to make a large sum of money in a day.
Seeing that Zhou Li said that he was going to the inn, the middle-aged cultivator laughed, and first introduced himself: "Young Master, under Li Zhen." β
Zhou Li didn't introduce himself, so there was no need for this.
Li Zhen didn't care, he said, "Young Master, what grade of inn do you need?"
οΌ
"In City 39, which inn is the best, you can take me there. Zhou Li said, not at all. Zhou Li's wealth has reached the point where he is rich enough to rival the country, so he naturally will not wronged himself.
Li Zhen had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect that this young man who was dressed in ordinary clothes would be a real young master.
There is nothing to think of as this, the best inns, the cost of a night is amazing.
Seeing Zhou Li's joking look, Li Zhen nodded and said, "Young Master, please come down." β
City No. 39 is very large, at least more than twice as large as Fujiao City, and it should be said that it is more extensive. The aura here is a little stronger than other places, which may be the reason for the proximity to this pillar.
There is a pillar of heaven, even if it is now night, but it is still like day.
As if there was a pattern, every half hour, there would be a rumbling sound from the pillar, which would make the eardrums tingle. However, the people who live here seem to have gotten used to it, and they don't show an uncomfortable look.
As the best inn in City 39, it is naturally the most expensive consumption.
Li Zhen didn't need Zhou Li to come out, he had already negotiated in the past, and soon came over, and said respectfully: "Young master, the best room is 10,000 spirit coins for one night." β
After speaking, Li Zhen still swallowed his saliva.
One night is 10,000 spirit coins, you must know that the salary of ordinary people is only seven or eight hundred a month, and the more is about 1,000. This one-night stay is the income of ordinary people for a year, how can it not amaze Li Zhen?
Zhou Li didn't have a strange look, went to the counter, handed over the money, and said directly: "Li Zhen, you wait for me here, I'll come down after taking a bath." β
"Yes, young master!"
Li Zhen immediately agreed, seeing Zhou Li's arrogance, he knew that the tour guide fee for this trip would definitely not be less than his own, like this kind of rich young master, the back will also be terrifying, what about waiting here?
Zhou Li just smiled, and under the leadership of the inn guys, he arrived at the most luxurious house here.
Before, Zhou Li thought that 10,000 spirit coins were indeed expensive, but after entering this house, Zhou Li didn't think so, because from the moment he pushed open the door, the bursts of spiritual energy light that poured out of it made Zhou Li a little surprised.
The guy had some smugness on his face, and said, "This master, in the top room of this inn, every room has a small spiritual eye, and one night's cultivation is enough for more than five days in your usual life." β
After the guy left, Zhou Li looked at it curiously, and also sighed that his 10,000 spirit coins were worth it.
Zhou Li didn't expect that there was also a spiritual eye in the Nine Nether Realms, and he also built an inn here. You don't have to think about it, you also know that the background behind this inn is terrifying, otherwise it would be impossible to have a spiritual eye, and use it so openly.
With the spiritual eye, the occupancy rate here can be imagined, and the daily income is not a problem at all.
Zhou Li didn't think much about it, took a bath with hot water, and then left here.
Li Zhen was still sitting in the lobby, and when he saw Zhou Li coming down from upstairs, he didn't expect it to be so fast, so he hurriedly greeted him.
"Young Master!"
"Let's go, eat something delicious. Zhou Li laughed.
I have to say that when Li Zhen was ordered, Zhou Li was still satisfied, and Li Zhen knew everything about the No. 37 city. More importantly, Li Zhen's sophistication was far from being comparable to that of a younger cultivator.
Under the leadership of Li Zhen, they soon arrived on a street.
Pointing to a place that looked like a food stall below, Li Zhen said: "Young master, this place is not eye-catching, but the things here are so delicious that they are definitely the best in City No. 37." β
Zhou Li nodded: "Okay, that's it." β
Since it was a new taste, Zhou Li directly asked the guys here to give all the signboards.
Soon, the table was filled with a variety of snacks.
Li Zhen stood aside, but his duty as a tour guide made him stand alone.
Zhou Li smiled and beckoned, "Sit down." β
Zhou Li's level is not high, and it is lower than Li Zhen, but Zhou Li's identity, as well as the momentum he has been cultivating, is a simple sentence, but it seems that people can't refuse, which makes Li Zhen feel palpitations and can only sit down.
In the face of Li Zhen's constraints, Zhou Li didn't say much, tasted it the same, and kept nodding.
Maybe he couldn't stand the temptation of the delicious food here, Li Zhen gritted his teeth and ate it along, he knew that this was the top 37th city, but the price of every dish and snack was also the best 37th. Once you miss an opportunity like this, you don't know how long it will take.
Zhou Li quickly ate and sipped his tea.
After a long time, Li Zhen was full, and he put down his chopsticks a little embarrassed.
"Li Zhen, who controls the Tongtian Pillar?" Zhou Li raised his eyes and glanced at the towering Tongtian Pillar and asked.
Li Zhen didn't even think about it, but said, "It's the Cheng family." β
Zhou Li nodded, didn't say much, but quietly sipped tea.
Back in the inn, Zhou Li was also arrogant, and directly paid Li Zhen's tour guide fee of 10,000 spirit coins, which scared Li Zhen. 10,000 spirit coins is already a lot, enough for ordinary people to use it for a year. Of course, when it comes to cultivation, it's nothing.
What Zhou Li wants to know is actually some basic information, and Zhou Li doesn't care who holds the Heavenly Pillar.
I just thought of the second domain, they needed some expenses, Zhou Li gave it, for Zhou Li, this point was just a small amount of money, as if he had smashed 30,000 spirit coins just for a stay and money for the tour guide.
The cost of this Tongtian Pillar must not be so expensive.
After staying overnight, Zhou Li spent a quiet sleep.
Something like cultivation was actually not needed by Zhou Li. However, these rooms are top-notch, surrounded by aura, as if sleeping in an air-conditioned room, and the sound insulation effect is so good that you can't even hear the rumbling sound from the Babel Pillar.
Next.
Zhou Li settled the account early, and then flew in the direction of the Heavenly Pillar.
There is no need for guidance, after all, the Babel Pillar is so spectacular and huge, you just need to walk in the direction of the Babel Pillar.
To be able to grow a city to almost 300 million people, if the number of cultivators coming and going here was small, it would be impossible to have this kind of development scale.
Driving the economy of 300 million people, it requires a large number of cultivators to pass through here in order to generate economic benefits.
As Zhou Li guessed, it was early morning, but when he looked at it from a distance, he could find that the entire sky was full of black pressure cultivators, and they flew densely in the direction of Tongtianzhu.
Just a glance, to say the least, in the hundreds of thousands.
Calculated in this way, it is not difficult to find that the number of people who come and go to the Heavenly Pillar every day is at least tens of millions.
The 10 million level is already a very large number.
The closer you get to the pillar, the more you can feel the majesty it exudes, giving people a feeling as deep as the vast sea, no matter how powerful you are, in front of it, it is incomparably small, like a speck of dust.
"Spectacular, beautiful. β
This is Zhou Li's impression of the Tongtian Pillar, it is like a thick pillar, holding up a piece of heaven above his head.
In the position of Zhongzhou, when you look up, you can faintly see a shadow of the second domain, it only shows a corner, but it gives people a feeling of boundlessness, as if it is pressed on the top of your head.
This kind of grand scene can only be seen after entering the Central Continent, and there is no way to observe the storage of the second domain in the other four continents.
"I guess it's millions of kilometers away. β
The distance of millions of kilometers is no longer visible to the naked eye, and there may be some other reasons for being able to see it from Middle-earth.
As for how it was possible for this pillar of heaven to appear on the Middle Continent of the First Domain across millions of kilometers, this question is probably only known to God.
The distance between Tongtianzhu and City Thirty-Seven was only tens of kilometers, and at the speed of the cultivators, it wouldn't take long.
Zhou Li continued to move forward with the flow of people.
Gradually, these people began to gather, and they actually formed a rope in the sky, twisted into a strand, and arranged in the sky. The march of hundreds of thousands of people, the spectacular Cheng dΓΉ, is absolutely intimidating.
On the other side, countless cultivators continued to emerge from the Tongtian Pillar, and after they appeared, they left in a hurry.
Around the team, as they approached Tongtianzhu, some cultivators wearing dark blue armor appeared, and the strength of each of them was extremely strong, at least they were also saint-level people, and in every section, an emperor-level cultivator would appear.
These people, each of them are extremely strong, with a strong murderous aura in their eyes.
Seeing that they were carrying weapons one by one, they stood on both sides, no need to guess, they also knew the identities of these people, they should be the people who control this pillar of heaven, that is, the children of the Cheng family.
Soon, the flow of people became more and more dense, and the Cheng family's children also increased, and their strength continued to improve.
Zhou Li calculated that the number of Cheng family disciples patrolling and guarding this road alone exceeded 30,000, and all of them were strong. From this point alone, we know that the Cheng family is the real super family, and it is definitely not comparable to a pseudo super family like the Shi family in Floating Mustard City.
Come to think of it, this is a control of the Tongtian Pillar, and the absolute wealth is rolling, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich country.
This kind of family is the one who really has enough background and strength to be worthy of the super family. This kind of family is completely a family of the Huo family.
"It's all lined up, whoever is messed up, don't blame the master's subordinates for being ruthless. β
An emperor-level disciple of the Cheng family roared, signaling the cultivators to line up and move forward quietly.
In this long procession, many of them are passing through Tongtian for the first time, and they are naturally excited and difficult to self-contained, and they are constantly looking at each other with excitement on their faces.
There are also some cultivators, who may have long been used to it, and their faces are not shocked.
The long line, when it arrived in front of the Babel Pillar, was divided into dozens of teams.
Zhou Li raised his eyes and saw these dozens of people, after paying the fees one by one, and then they crossed the large number of guards, went directly towards the Babel Pillar, and then submerged into the Babel Pillar and disappeared.
"Tsk, what does it mean to make money?"
Zhou Li only felt that in the small world, his speed of making money was definitely not as fast as Cheng's family.
Even if only five million cultivators pass through the Heavenly Pillar in a day, they don't need more, and one hundred spirit coins is 500 million.
The 500 million, there is no cost, no risk, and it is a safe and profitable business.
Of course, a business like this can only be done by a strong family or sect. If you can't control the field, you won't be left if you are swallowed to the bone, and in the Nine Nether Realm, competition will always be the most cruel.
As the flow of people progressed, the queue was constantly being consumed.
"What, five thousand spirit coins per person?"
Ahead, a strong man let out a scream, his eyes wide open. On his body, there was a basket, and eight children of different sizes were holding on to the rope of the basket, fixing themselves, hanging from the basket, and the strong man carried them into the sky.
plus the strong man himself, there are a total of nine people, which is forty-five thousand spirit coins, which is not a small number.
Even Zhou Li was a little surprised, he had always thought that TongguΓ² Tongtian Pillar should only be a hundred spirit coins.
But now, it turned out to be five thousand spirit coins per person.
"Five thousand spirit coins, isn't the income of two hundred and fifty billion a day?" Zhou Li suddenly felt that his breathing was short, and in such a comparison, Zhou Li found that he was actually still a poor bastard, and he had no sense of accomplishment at all.
Zhou Li didn't expect that the toll fee of the Cheng family would be so high.
"If you don't have any money, get out, the next one. The children of the Cheng family, who were in charge of the fees, had indifference on their faces, and they didn't care at all about the look of this strong man.
The strong man was furious and pointed at this pillar of heaven: "****, this pillar of heaven has been made since ancient times, why should you charge for it?
Hearing the strong man say this, this Cheng family disciple was not furious, but laughed.
Every day, he will always encounter such a few cases of such people, he is used to it, and it is useless to deal with such people and quarrel with him. Therefore, this disciple of the Cheng family just made a gesture, and among the dozen or so cultivators next to him, two of them stood in front of the strong man.
The eight children all looked frightened and shrank behind the strong man.
One of them said, "Father, why don't we go back, there is nothing to see in this pillar, and we don't want to go to the second realm, let's go home." β
", what Lao Tzu promised, it must be done. The strong man scolded angrily, he glanced at the Tongtian Pillar not far away, but he suddenly raised his fist and blasted at the two Cheng family disciples surrounding him.
The fist has not yet arrived, but the fist qi has already arrived.
These two Cheng family disciples didn't expect that someone would dare to make a move against them, and for a moment, some wolves dodged the strong man's fist.
When the strong man almost blasted out his fist, before the fist arrived, the person had already roared violently, and he directly broke through here and sprinted frantically towards the pillar of Babel not far away.
He needs to break through as soon as he enters the pass I1292
