Chapter 366: The City That Never Sleeps!
Sure enough, as Chu Ming expected, after about ten days, the degree of the passenger ship gradually decreased, and finally docked in a huge port.
"The city that never sleeps has arrived, and it is also the final destination of this voyage, please get off the ship in an orderly manner, the next ship will be on the eighth day of August, interested passengers please pay attention, look forward to your next visit. ”
With the sound of the official transmission, the formations on the passenger ship closed one by one, and a long ladder extended from the side of the hull, leading to the ground, and the guests walked out of their rooms.
Although this is already the boundary of the city that never sleeps, but the dock is crowded with people, mixed with fish and dragons, and is located in a remote area, which is extremely difficult to control, as long as it is not too out of line, basically the official will choose to turn a blind eye, so there are not a few people who fly in the sky.
Chu Ming did not follow the trend in a high-profile manner, but followed the general trend with Su Qianxin and slowly walked down the passenger flow ladder.
The road to the main city is not difficult to find, and there is only one avenue, just follow it; walking like flying, before the tea is ready, Chu Ming came to the gate of the inner city of the city that never sleeps.
The city that never sleeps is a four-grade city, even if it is placed in Shenzhou, it can be regarded as a fortress city, and it is said that there are several powerhouses of the Shattered Void Realm in the city, and there are masters sent by the Yuxiaomen of the subordinate force to stay, which is enough to deter all Xiaoxiao.
As a four-grade city, the area of the city that never sleeps is comparable to the sum of all the cities in an outside country combined, the length and width are thousands of miles away, and the city walls are also as high as 100 zhang, like mountain peaks.
At the gate of the city that looked like a giant mouth, there were several warriors guarding there, all of them full of energy, and they were all at the level of the Heavenly Mind Realm when they explored a little.
Because the city that never sleeps covers an area of too wide, so only when you enter the inner city do you need to pay the entrance fee, although I don't know the specific amount, but according to the people queuing in front, I am afraid that it will cost thousands of lower grade spirit stones.
"It's really bloodsucking!" Chu Ming shook his head with a wry smile, and secretly said that these powerful bigwigs are really quick to make money, and they have an income of nearly one million a day if they don't do anything, and for them, the spirit stone is simply like falling from the sky and hanging by the wind; no, it is even simpler than this.
It made Chu Ming want to make a city lord or a sect master or something, and sit back and wait to collect the money.
However, this idea is just to think about it, and Chu Ming didn't care too much, after all, with Chu Ming's current strength, it is still too far away to have a piece of his own territory in Shenzhou, and although it may be barely enough to put it in the outside world, the income is undoubtedly unspeakable.
Besides, there are all kinds of management, expenses, and chores, Chu Ming's temperament is not suitable for doing these, and he doesn't want to have too deep fetters, what he pursues is the way to escape.
After paying the entrance fee, the two entered the inner city.
The inner city is a little empty, and there are a few vendors on both sides of the road, and the stalls are also quite complicated: there are the skins of unknown beasts, there are broken scrolls, there are broken swords, and there are some jade boxes, which contain some unknown elixir or spirit plant, which is dazzling, if it is not for the discerning person, he really does not dare to ask the price here.
Setting up a stall in the inner city of the city that never sleeps requires official approval, that is, you need to pay money, and then assign you a stall, and the income from the sale also needs to be handed over to the official, or it is a public rebellion against the city that never sleeps, and the light is fined, confiscated all the property and driven out of the sleepless city, and the heavy may be killed on the spot, so unless it is those warriors who have a lot of things to sell or make a living from it, basically no one will choose to set up a stall, and if there are really ones, they will choose to trade privately in places such as restaurants and teahouses.
Of course, there are also special shops in the city that never sleeps, and you can also choose to buy your treasures by the shops, or auction them at the auction house and pay a certain fee.
From time to time, in the middle of the road, a whole group of patrolling samurai would check back and forth to see if anyone had broken the law and made trouble, and most of them would not be too resistant to them, and even if there were warriors who were stronger than them, they did not dare to confront them, for fear of disturbing them, and stabbing them in the back, and borrowing the official power of the city to deal with them.
In front of a quaint pure stone building:
"Do you two want to rent a cultivation room?" a waiter greeted Chu Ming and Su with a smile.
"Yes, don't you know what classification your cultivation room has here?" Although Chu Ming didn't know anything about this place, he also knew that the level of the cultivation room was also high and low based on common sense and experience.
"Our cultivation room here is slightly different from the outside world, in addition to the ordinary low-level, intermediate, and high-level, there are also top-level ones, but the top-level cultivation room can only be used by reservations, and the high-level cultivation room can only be used by martial artists above the Shattered Void Realm, I don't know what level of cultivation room the two of you need?"
The waiter didn't mean to look down on the two, whose money is not money? Who doesn't want to make more, but if you open the door to do business, you still have to make it clear first, so as to save trouble in the later stage.
The Spirit Gathering Array here is a mid-level Spirit Gathering Array, the internal aura is too strong, and the advanced cultivation room is a bit too much for the Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses, only the Shattered Void Realm Emperor who has cultivated the spirit body can control it, and forcibly using it will only be counterproductive.
"Give us a ......"
"I want two intermediate cultivation rooms. "Chu Ming originally wanted an intermediate-level and an advanced cultivation room, but Su Zhixin took the lead.
Since the other party said so, Chu Ming naturally would not object, and he was happy to save money.
"Then prepare two intermediate cultivation rooms for us. ”
"Okay, the intermediate cultivation is 30,000 lower grade spirit stones a day, please pay for three days in advance. ”
Chu Ming was not too surprised by such a price, took out two large boxes and handed them to the other party, each of which contained 100,000 lower grade spirit stones, and the waiter counted them a little and handed Chu Ming two jade plates, which were written on the third layer of No. 7 and the fourth layer of No. 1.
Obviously, the cultivation rooms of the two of them were not close to each other.
"Come with me, both of you. Two other attendants stepped out and led the way.
Chu Ming and Su followed with their hearts.
After a while, the two followed the waiter to their respective cultivation rooms.
It is said that it is a cultivation room, but it is actually about the same size as a manor, in addition to the cultivation room, it is also equipped with a practice room and a hall, and there is a layer of light red protective cover on the periphery of the cultivation room, which can not only isolate the breath, but also resist certain attacks.
"This is your cultivation room, the air shield and the jade plate on your body are mutually inducing, you can pass unhindered, and others will be excluded without your consent. The waiter explained.
"With such a protective shield, I'm afraid it won't be able to resist any attacks. Chu Ming squinted slightly, he was confident that he could easily break through the defenses here with a single sword and enter it.
"Huh?" the waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Objectively, it's a joke, this mask really doesn't have too strong defensive power, let alone you, even if I have it, I have the confidence to break it; ”
A trace of inexplicable pride flashed on his face as he spoke, "This is the city that never sleeps, who dares to do it here?" Our cultivation room even has an official share, and even if we put aside the official, our cultivation room alone is not easy to mess with, and the reason why the official of the city that never sleeps is just to make a show and walk around." ”
"Oh, that's right. Chu Ming nodded, and casually took out dozens of lower-grade spirit stones and threw them to the other party, which was considered a tip.
"Thank you, guest officer, I wish you success in your cultivation. "The waiter is not in the Heavenly Mood Realm cultivation, and dozens of lower-grade spirit stones are almost catching up with his income for half a month.
However, the waiter over there did not have such good luck, not that Su Tianxin was stingy, but that she didn't have a penny on her at all!
After the waiter left, Chu Ming took a step forward, and the jade plate he was wearing enveloped Chu Ming in a soft light, blending with the light mask of the outside world.
"Tsk, this practice room is well arranged, it can allow martial artists to hone their martial arts, and it seems that it should be able to withstand a lot of attacks. ”
The white light flashed in front of him, and the entrance was a small practice room with a radius of ten zhang, the ground of the training ground was paved with extremely hard red stone, and the pieces were very neat, and in the center of the practice room, there were several dummies made of unknown metal, and there were countless traces on the body of the dummy and around the training room, there were knife marks, sword marks, and fist marks......
Taking out the purple thunder sword, Chu Ming took a slow breath and swung it out with a low snort, the purple sword slashed heavily at the middle dummy like thunder.
Buzz~
The dummy shuddered slightly, and the sword mark was an inch deep, which was the deepest.
According to the waiter's introduction, the people who came to the intermediate cultivation room were all Heaven and Earth Realm martial artists, so just from Chu Ming's sword, it could be seen that Chu Ming's combat power at the Heaven and Earth Realm level was already first-class.
Indifferently, this does not mean that Chu Ming has the full power of others with a casual slash, compared to the martial arts training field, no one will do their best, Chu Ming is like this, and so are they.
Further inside, there are three small chambers standing side by side, a bedroom, a cultivation room, and a hall.
As soon as he entered the cultivation room, Chu Ming felt as if there was a pressure coming from all directions around him, as if he was walking underwater, of course, the strength was much lower.
This is because of the spiritual pressure generated by the high concentration of spiritual energy, if it is a high-level cultivation room, ordinary Heaven and Earth Realm martial artists will feel constrained, and as soon as they open the meridians, the surrounding spiritual energy will be frantically squeezed in, and they will have to be distracted by this, so the waiter will have this to say this before.
Walking to the center of the cultivation room, Chu Ming sat cross-legged, took out a top-grade Qingming Pill suit, slowly closed his eyes, and began to enter the state of enlightenment.
About a cup of tea, Chu Ming slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, his eyes were clear and clear, and there was a mysterious aura around him, everything seemed to have become traceable in his mind, and it seemed that even the surrounding aura could accurately feel their movements.
"Almost, it's time to begin to comprehend the mystery of thunder. ”
Muttering a sentence in his mouth, Chu Ming took out a jade cup from the soul realm, which contained more than half a cup of purple water columns, and thunder flashed and electric patterns swam.
As soon as my mind moved, I pointed to a little bit, and a drop of water floated up.
