Chapter 156 New Residence in Tianxing City
Ye Changsheng had already prepared the map of the Inner Star Sea, so after the girls had packed up everything, he immediately took them away from Xiaohuan Island.
The Flying Spirit Shuttle turned into a ray of purple light and rushed into the sky, flying towards the northeast.
Kuixing Island is located in the southwest area of the Inner Star Sea, while Tianxing City is in the center of the entire Inner Star Sea, and the distance between it and Kuixing Island is difficult to estimate.
The reason why Ye Changsheng chose to go to Tianxing City was very simple.
This place is considered to be the safest place in the entire Chaos Star Sea, and it also has the top spiritual veins in the Chaos Star Sea.
As the headquarters of the Star Palace, the official power in Chaos Star Sea, the bustle and prosperity of Tianxing City is hard to find comparable places in the entire human world.
Of course, while this huge city is bustling and prosperous, it is also a mixed bag of good and bad people.
Even if you are a force of good or evil that is vaguely opposed to the Star Palace, you can enter and leave Tianxing City freely as long as you don't cause any trouble.
Of course, if you want to live here for a long time, you have to pay a certain amount of spirit stones.
The people of Xinggong will not interfere in anything in this city.
Even if those people are wanted by Xinggong, if they come to this city, Xinggong will not take the initiative to arrest them as long as they don't cause trouble.
Such a relaxed environment is naturally very popular among businessmen. All the top chambers of commerce in Chaos Star Sea have opened stores in Tianxing City, and organized auction houses, purchasing houses and other businesses that can make a lot of spirit stones.
In this way, almost all the rare things produced in the inner star sea every year will eventually flow to Tianxing City.
And the most important thing is that the teleportation array leading to the outer sea is also in this city.
In other words, the passages to the star seas inside and outside the entire Chaos Star Sea are completely controlled by the Star Palace.
Those monks who want to go out to sea to hunt monsters must pay a toll to the Star Palace.
That would be fine, but the most important thing is that after those cultivators who go out to sea hunt monsters in the outer seas and obtain various materials and monster pills, the first people they sell them to are the big trading companies in Tianxing City.
This has led to Tianxing City gathering almost all the resources that most cultivators in the entire Chaos Star Sea urgently need.
The circulation of goods has promoted the prosperity of this city. In Ye Changsheng's view, Tianxing City is undoubtedly a commercial capital.
After traveling across the sea on the Flying Spirit Shuttle for nearly two months, Ye Changsheng and his party finally reached the center of the Inner Star Sea.
Slowly, a huge black dot appeared in front of their eyes. As they flew closer, the black dot grew bigger and bigger, and finally, a giant city appeared in front of everyone.
This is a megacity occupying an entire island. In the very center of the city, there is a giant mountain that rises into the clouds. Along this mountain, a large number of buildings are built in circles on its surface.
"Is this Tianxing City?"
“It’s so magnificent!”
…
There were exclamations from all around, whether it was Senior Sister Chen and others who came from Tiannan, or the two Yuan Yao girls who were born and raised in the Chaos Star Sea, it was the first time for them to see this magnificent city.
They were deeply shocked!
After driving the spirit shuttle and getting close to Tianxing City for dozens of miles, beams of light kept appearing around, all heading to Tianxing City.
After landing on the ground and arriving in front of the city gate that was seven or eight feet high, a white-robed foundation-building cultivator came up to Ye Changsheng and said respectfully:
"Welcome to Tianxing City, senior. According to the rules of this city, all seniors who have reached the Dan stage can live in this city for a long time for free. This is the identity ring, please keep it!"
As he spoke, the monk in white took out a red ring and handed it over.
Ye Changsheng took the ring, pointed at the women around him and said, "My female companions will also live in Tianxing City for a long time. Please go through the formalities!"
"Senior, cultivators below the Jindan stage who want to live in Tianxing City for a long time must pay 800 spirit stones!"
Ye Changsheng nodded and handed over forty intermediate-level spirit stones.
The Xinggong Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at him with some surprise, thinking that this Jindan senior was truly wealthy and powerful.
After taking the spirit stone, he took out five red rings and said, "Just drop some blood on them and they will recognize you as their master!"
Ye Changsheng handed the ring to the girls beside him, and then took them into Tianxing City.
There is no no-fly ban in this giant city. You can fly as you please as long as you don't cause any trouble.
The Holy Mountain is the giant mountain located in the center of Tianxing City.
From bottom to top, surrounding the holy mountain, buildings are located in rows. Each circle is divided into one floor, and there are eighty-one floors in total.
The first fifty floors are open to the outside world, the last thirty floors are where the Star Palace people live, and the highest floor is where the Holy Palace is located, which is the residence of the Two Saints of the Stars.
The closer you are to the top floor, the more abundant the spiritual energy is, and the greater the benefit to your cultivation.
Of course, the price will be higher.
After Ye Changsheng's spiritual consciousness carefully explored Tianxing City, he brought the girls to the foot of the holy mountain, in front of a rather imposing attic.
There are many monks coming in and out here, and it looks very lively.
When you enter the building, you will see five or six stone tables, and behind each table there is a monk in white.
There were more than a dozen monks standing in front of the stone table, talking with these white-robed monks.
When the space in front of a stone table was vacant, Ye Changsheng walked up to it. When the white-robed monk opposite him saw him, his expression immediately became respectful.
"Senior, do you want to rent a spiritual place on the Holy Mountain? Which floor do you want? Do you want a house or a cave?"
"What's the difference?" Ye Changsheng asked.
"The mansion is the stone houses built against the mountain, and the cave is specially carved out on the mountain wall. Compared with those stone houses, it has a larger area, more abundant spiritual energy, and is more private!" said the monk in white.
"If you want a cave, the higher the level, the better!" Ye Changsheng said lightly .
Hearing this, the monk in white became alert and quickly took out a jade slip to check.
After a moment, he said, "There is one empty cave on the thirty-fifth floor, three on the thirty-eighth floor, and six on the forty-seventh floor!"
The white-robed monk said this and handed over a jade slip, which contained introductions and prices of those cave dwellings.
Ye Changsheng looked around and chose the cave on the 47th floor with the largest area and the most complete functions. He said, "This is it!"
"A total of four thousand spirit stones!" said the white-robed monk respectfully.
He looked at Ye Changsheng with some surprise.
I didn’t expect that he would choose such an expensive cave.
Cave dwellings with more than forty floors are generally inhabited by people in the middle or late stages of the Jindan period.
However, after looking at the five young women following behind this senior, he began to understand a little.
Without a big cave, it would be difficult to accommodate this group of beautiful girls.
His eyes quickly glanced at several women, especially lingering on Yuan Yao's face.
The white-robed monk's eyes showed deep envy.
Such a stunning fairy, this senior’s good fortune is truly enviable.
After taking out forty mid-level spirit stones, the white-robed monk gave Ye Changsheng a restriction token.
"With this token, you can enter and exit this cave freely. But after a hundred years, if you do not renew the lease , the token will be taken back!"
"Please keep the token, senior!" said the monk in white with a smile on his face.
There was inevitably a hint of gratitude in the look he gave Ye Changsheng.
For such a big deal, he can get a lot of commission.
Holding the token, Ye Changsheng brought the girls to the holy mountain, to the 47th floor, in front of a cave called Bingqi.
Entering the cave, you will see a row of living rooms, training rooms, spiritual medicine gardens, insect rooms, spiritual animal rooms, etc.
The cave is really big, with more than a dozen rooms serving various functions. You can feel the abundant spiritual energy as soon as you enter.
It is better than Ye Changsheng’s cave with the Spirit Eye Spring in the Taiyue Mountains. This holy mountain is indeed the top spiritual vein in the Chaos Star Sea.
At the same time, the restrictions attached to this cave are also quite powerful, comparable to a simplified version of the inverted five elements formation.
However, Ye Changsheng naturally couldn't be at ease with these restrictions, so after taking a look around, he immediately asked Xin Ruyin and others to set up their own formations and restrictions in the cave.
With Xin Ruyin's current attainment in formation, even a cultivator in the middle or late Jindan stage would have to sigh in despair when facing such a cave.
Ye Changsheng entered the insect room, took out a large amount of white jade, and inlaid it on the inner wall of the entire insect room, leaving no corner untouched.
This is naturally prepared for the gold-eating bugs.
After turning the entire stone wall of the insect room into jade, Ye Changsheng opened the jade box.
With a loud bang, a group of silver beetles flew out and circled in the insect room.
"With only a few hundred gold-eating bugs, their power cannot be fully realized. We must cultivate them as quickly as possible, let them lay eggs, and continue to breed generation after generation until their number reaches tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Only then can the gold-eating bugs achieve their fame!"
Looking at this group of gold-eating insects, Ye Changsheng's heart was full of anticipation.
When these guys are trained in the future, they will definitely be a killer.
The method of cultivating gold-eating bugs is also very simple, just use neon grass.
Relying on his own replication ability, as long as there are enough spirit stones, the speed of cultivating these gold-eating insects is definitely much faster than Han Li.
"Now, after several consumptions and replenishments, I still have about 300,000 spirit stones!"
"When I have some time, I can sell all the odds and ends I have on me. It shouldn't be hard to get 100,000 Spiritual Stones in exchange!"
"I use Millennium Rainbow Grass to feed these guys. It takes about 500 spirit stones to copy one Millennium Rainbow Grass. I feed them one every day. Based on Han Li's experience in training, it should take about three months for these gold-eating bugs to devour each other and then lay eggs!"
"That is to say, it will cost 50,000 spirit stones to make this group of gold-eating insects lay eggs for the first time!"
"And the amount of spirit stones needed for the second spawning will increase dramatically, after all, the number of gold-eating bugs has increased!"
Ye Changsheng was suddenly surprised, feeling that these gold-eating bugs had suddenly become the biggest consumer of resources here.
In the original novel, it seemed that Han Li did not consume much in cultivating the gold-eating bugs. That was actually because he had a small green bottle, and the small green bottle produced the Great Creation Dew for free.
But for Ye Changsheng, whether it is copying the green liquid or copying the elixir, it is not free and requires a large amount of spirit stones.
"However, I can make money by copying demon pills and spiritual medicines!"
"Spiritual medicines are scarce in the Chaos Star Sea. It's not surprising that a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine is auctioned for four or five thousand spirit stones. A fifth-level demon pill costs several thousand spirit stones, and a sixth-level demon pill costs ten thousand spirit stones."
"It costs five hundred spirit stones to copy a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, five hundred spirit stones to copy a level five demon pill, and one thousand spirit stones to copy a level six demon pill."
“The profits here are huge!”
"With my current cultivation level, it won't be a big problem for me to take out thousand-year-old elixirs, fifth-level and sixth-level demon pills!"
Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered, and he kept thinking in his mind, making a plan for his future practice life.
Cultivating gold-eating bugs is naturally one of the major things.
In the original novel, it took Han Li sixty years to multiply the gold-eating bugs from a few hundred to tens of thousands.
Now, with sufficient resource supply, he should be able to increase the number of gold-eating bugs to over ten thousand in about ten years.
However, the amount of spirit stones required also reached hundreds of thousands.
In order to make up for the consumption of these spirit stones, one would have to sell thousand-year-old elixirs, demon pills, magic weapons, etc. in Tianxing City from time to time.
It’s mainly the demon pill. Now, the only sixth-level demon pill that Ye Changsheng has analyzed is the infant carp beast one.
At that time, you can buy a few more level six demon pills, and then analyze and copy them, and release a certain number of demon pills to the market every once in a while.
In this way, obtaining enough spirit stones is not a problem.
The next step is to continue to hone the weapon refining technique, wait ten years to find the Nine Heavens Purple Jade in the Sea King Ruins, and then refine the magic weapon.
Ten years should be enough to hone the refining techniques to the point where one can refine magic weapons.
Ye Changsheng is still confident about this.
Of course, in addition to this, another thing is to train Yuan Yao and Yan Li.
Although he had already taken these two people as concubines, Ye Changsheng had no intention of eating the sisters immediately.
They are only in the Qi Refining Stage, and taking away their essence now will not bring any benefits to me.
After they have established their foundation, with the help of some methods in the Hehuan Secret Book, they should be able to quickly enter the middle stage of Jindan.
Of course, before that, he still had to accumulate his magic power to the peak of the early stage of Jindan before he could consider breaking through the bottleneck.
After the plan was complete, Ye Changsheng selected a technique from the Hehuan Secret Book for Yuan Yao and Yan Li, and asked them to replace their main technique with this one.
Then, give them enough resources for cultivation and let them go into seclusion to break through their foundation.
After doing all this, Ye Changsheng left the cave, found a shop in Tianxing City, bought it, and continued to run the shop selling magical instruments, talismans, and formations as before.
While experiencing the various aspects of life, improve your equipment refining skills.
So in a corner of the Tianxing City market, a store called Huanshaxuan opened, and the owner was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
He sat on a chair in the shop every day, holding a book in his hand, and no one knew what he was reading.
Every time he saw a critical point, his brows would be furrowed, and a thoughtful look would appear on his face.
Before long, all the confusion and doubt on the young boss's face disappeared, as if everything had suddenly become clear.
Then, he would immediately close the shop for a while and hide inside, doing no one knew what he was doing.
When he opens the shop again, there will most likely be a new magical weapon on the shelf.
Such days lasted for ten years!
