episode 20's

After half an hour of running, Yuan and Xiao Hua were finally able to see the city walls.

«You have found ‘Roh’» City

"This place seems to be called Spirit City," Yuan said after reading the system notification.

"The Spirit City is one of the four Great Cities in the Eastern Continent, and it ranks third in terms of influence." Xiao Hua quickly explained.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Yuan and Xiao Hua approached the city gate.

"What are they doing?"

As they approached, Yuan saw a crystal ball in one of the guards' grasp.

“This is for checking visitors. Unless Brother Yuan is a fugitive, you don't have to worry about that. ”

Yuan nodded.

A few minutes later, they reached the guards at the gate.

“Incoming cost is 1 silver for each individual,” says guard after they are close enough.

"Uh .. Xiao Hua, do you have any money?" Yuan, who had no money, looked at him with an awkward expression, feeling a little embarrassed to ask such a little girl for money.

But dear, Xiao Hua shook her little head.

"What the fuck. Do you want to enter this place without money? Where did such a beggar come from?” The guards sneered inside when they realized that they were dealing with people who had no money.

"If you don't have the money, then I can't let you in" said one of the guards. “Already out! There's someone behind waiting for you!”

Yuan sighed and prepared to leave.

However, before he could even take a step, the person standing behind him spoke, "If you want, I can pay your entrance fee."

Yuan turned to look at the person who had just spoken; it was a beautiful young woman wearing a pair of fine robes.

"If you don't mind ..." Yuan spoke with an embarrassed face.

"Young Miss, we shouldn't bother with these two beggars …"

The old man standing beside the young woman suddenly muttered in his ear, unaware that his words were heard by Yuan, who had heightened his senses.

“”

However, Yuan decided to ignore the old man's disrespectful remark.

“As a young lady of the Xuan Family, how can I ignore people who need help? And that's just two silver.”

The young lady shook her head at the old man, looking disappointed at his words.

"Excuse me, this will take into account their entry fees as well."

The young lady then handed four pieces of silver coins to the guards.

After a quick glance, the guard nodded and picked up the crystal ball.

"Put your hand on it" said the guard.

Yuan placed his hand on the globe.

A few seconds later, it emitted a green light.

“You may pass.”

The guard then turned to Xiao Hua, who was also passing by with a green light.

"thank you. Although not much, please accept this as my gratitude.”

Yuan took out the Monster Core and placed it in front of the young lady, who immediately covered her mouth in surprise.

“Inti Bloody Monkey Monster! This is too much for two mere silvers! I can't accept this!” The young woman quickly refused.

Most of the Blood Apes were around the Eighth Level Spirit Apprentice Realm, and their monster cores would normally take at least 100 gold coins in the market! If he received this monster core, it would make him feel guilty for taking advantage of Yuan.

"Don't worry, I no longer use this monster core quality, and it's just something I picked up during my trip here." Yuan understood the reason for the young woman's hesitation but continued to urge her to accept it.

The beautiful young lady looked at Yuan's honest face and the shiny monster core in her hands and gulped forcefully.

"Because you insist, I will accept it ..." he received the Blood Ape Monster Core with trembling hands.

As soon as the monster core escaped from his hand, Yuan said to Xiao Hua, "Let's go."

“T-Wait! Whatis yourname? I am called Xuan Wuhan! ”

"You can call me Yuan" he replied.

“Thank you, Yuan! If you need help with anything, you can find my Xuan Family in Spring City! Xuan Wuhan then gave Yuan a medal made of metal and printed with the word ‘Xuan’.

Yuan casually accepted the medal without giving it too much thought.

«’Xuan Wuhan’ has been added to Your Bonds!»

"The Wuhan Xuan Blessing has risen to Acquaintance!"

“Then, I'll see you around,” she said before leaving with Xiao Hua.

After Yuan left, the old man beside Xuan Wuhan spoke, “Young Miss, why did you give him the family medal? It's not something that strangers should hold onto.”

“That young man despite his young age, there was a strong aura around him. He was most likely a genius cultivator from some large family. If I can befriend him, it will benefit our Xuan Family, not to mention his honest character. I like people like him.”

“Are you sure of the background? He couldn't take two silvers just now” The old man remained doubtful.

“Have you just watched? He gave me a Blood Ape Monster Core worth over 100 gold coins without batting an eye because I gave him two silvers! That's not even something I would do! He must have tested people on purpose! ”

“T-But why would he do such a thing? What will he achieve by testing others?”

Xuan Wuhan shook his head and spoke, “Just like my grandfather, the deeper and stronger a person is, the more unreasonable it is. It's not something that can be understood by people like us.”

“Did you say that the young man was as strong as the Ancestor, who is the Spirit Master? That's a little”

"Of course not. I just said. ” XuanWuhan said. “Anyway, let's go. We must not miss the auction, or we must face my father's angry cries later.”

Meanwhile, Yuan and Xiao Hua wandered around the city aimlessly.

“Xiao Hua, we need to earn money. How about we sell the monster cores we hunted on our way here? They seem to be quite valuable, ”he said.

“Un. One monster core will easily sell for over 100 gold and will last for a while, and we still have four of them.”

"Then the question now is where to sell this monster core …"

“If you want the most money from the monster core, we can search the auction house. While it may take some time, we will get the maximum benefit from it. If you don't mind selling it at a much cheaper price, any regular store dealing with monster cores will do the job, ” Xiao Hua said.

“Auction house, huh? Sounds ominous. I've never been to one of them. But where can we find him?”

“Most major cities will hold auctions every few weeks, not to mention this Spirit City, one of the four largest cities on the continent. We should find it relatively easily if we wonder. ”

Yuan nodded.

“If it doesn't take too long, I will use the auction house to sell my monster core. But if we have to wait a few weeks, I better sell it at a cheaper price.”

After deciding on his next course of action, Yuan began to wonder in hopes of finding an auction house to sell his monster core, as he did not want to experience the humiliation of today again in the future.
