MONSTER CULTIVATION
499. ENTERING TOWN.
"The order just came down that anyone from the Rich-Porridge Continent had to pay this tax to enter the Silvermoon. If not, then there is no business for you. "
The guard spoke the language of the Western Continent, clearly without thinking or caring whether the people listening could understand it.
And from the look in his eyes, it seemed like he would be happy to thrash them within an inch of their lives. Or even worse.
"okay? Are you going to pay? Or didn't? If not, then go. I never went back to Silvermoon. Understand?"
TIO BU KI could not speak or understand the language of the Western Continent. However, due to the psychic fluctuations in the man's voice, he was able to identify the meaning of his words.
After reaching the Lifeseizing level, it is possible to use psychic fluctuations to understand most of the spoken language.
"Ah, whatever. We'll suck it up for now. Shaking his head, the leader of the caravan collected spirit stones from the members of group ,
and hand it over to the guards. Turning to TIO BU KI, he lowered his voice and explained,
“Nona-Puteri Silvermoon should have a bone to choose from with us people from the Rich-Weather Continent now.
He belonged to a radical faction within the Heaven-Soaring Dynasty, a group that had always called for an invasion of the Rich-Porridge Continent. ”
A walnut-sized spirit stone shone with a gentle light. They've been cut perfectly, though,
and it contains no visible flaws. The rules for how to cut spirit stones have been around since ancient times, the,
and is the reason they can be easily used as currency.
Once one tapped on the spirit power within them, they would turn into something unfit to use as money.
Snatching the stones, the guard looked towards the group with bloodthirsty eyes and said,
“It's better. It seems like you know what's good for you. Fortunately you did not argue,
otherwise I'll kill you. Your head will make a great memorial decoration to put on the city walls. ”
With that, TIO BU KI and the rest of the caravans entered the city. As they walked away, the guards chuckled.
“What a bunch of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Should we send people to kill them tonight? "
"No," said the captain of the guard. "They are from the Ancestor Sage Dynasty, so you never know if they have a Legendary hiding in their ranks.
Moreover, there was no open war between the Sky-Heaven Dynasty and the Sage Ancestral Dynasty. We'll wait until they start doing business. Then we can bankrupt them! "
Thanks to the psychic fluctuations, TIO BU KI heard his words.
As for the rest of the caravan members, they had already discussed the matter amongst themselves.
"You are right . Well, things are getting better in the Rich-Porridge Continent every day. Just yesterday I heard people say that heavenly damage has been repaired,
which means that no more monsters can enter. Good times will come to our land,
and the vital energy is stronger than ever. In fact, I bet that's why the Western Continent is pressuring us. ”
Almost immediately, a tinge of excitement took over the conversation.
“I want to know who fixed heaven's damage. ”
"According to rumors, it was a student from the Demi-Immortal Institute named
TIO BU KI'S. ”
“How did he do it? Even the chancellors of the four institutions were unable to repair the damage. ”
"I heard that he has stronger supporters than the Great Sage. ”
"Alright, just talk her out," said the caravan leader. “Considering the developments, let's finish our business here ,
and get out of Silvermoon as fast as you can. Then we can meet with another caravan, and also send a report back to the Prince of Wei. ”
"This caravan reported to Prince Wei?" Thought TIO BU KI, surprised. He remembered Prince Wei and had a pretty good impression of him.
After all, back at the great martial arts competition, the man had defended himself against the Crown Prince. And he was even humiliated in the process.
As the caravan walked down the vast Silvermoon streets, the surrounding residents looked at him with menacing views.
As far as the people of the Western Continent were concerned, the Rich-Porridge Continent was full of barbarians.
And the fact that they exchanged extremely small demon cores for precious spirit stones made them also more profitable, and basically, worth dying for.
"These people all seem ruthless to the core," TIO BU KI commented softly.
"Right," replied the leader of the caravan. “They have Demonfolk blood in them, probably more than human blood. You know, many of them are demons in human form, or mutants. ”
"Master," someone called from afar on the street, "we are in the Silvermoon City Business Pavilion. ”
Up ahead was a huge structure that was coated entirely with mithril, and filled with all sorts of terrifying spell formations.
Around him was a large hall used specifically for business
