Chapter 73: The Ideals Are Still Quite Grand
They simply exchanged a few words.
After Lu Rongyu and the others left, Lin Yuyu curiously asked, “Is this the Medicine Sect, the Peach Blossom Sect’s disciple, that’s mentioned in the guide, located next to the Flying Sparrow Sect?”
Zhen Weida nodded, “Yes, I just don’t know how Wu Dahu and the others got involved.”
Lin Yuyu noticed that Zhen Weida seemed very familiar with old players like Wu Dahu and the others, and anyone who could return from First Mountain now was definitely an old player.
So she asked, “Brother Weida, are you acquainted with those old players?”
Zhen Weida coughed, “Yes, we know each other in real life. I was recommended by them to get into this game. Thank goodness I managed to get in.”
As for the embarrassing incident of falling off a cliff and dying earlier, he would absolutely not admit to it.
“We saw Big Shot Han Tian’s live broadcast, so we decided to join in the fun,” Lin Yuyu said. “I didn’t expect to actually get a quota, and this game is so realistic, it’s simply incredible! Our country’s technology has already reached this level!”
Shui Ping’s eyes narrowed.
The country’s technology hasn’t reached this level…
From what he’d seen walking along the way, he found that this game was just as Han Tian had shown in his live broadcast.
Every flower and blade of grass on the road was unique, with no repetitions.
Most games would repeat models to save resources, but this world was so vast and so real.
It didn’t feel like a game at all…
Even if it were, why create such a game world?
It must have a purpose for existing.
And that purpose lay with Sect Master Song Jiulai.
Unfortunately, players couldn’t easily interact with the Sect Master now.
Players tended to develop freely; no one would specifically inquire about where the Sect Master might appear. Shui Ping could only follow the crowd.
***
“We’ve arrived at Liuxian City.”
With these words, the disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect and the Peach Blossom Sect also saw the silhouette of Liuxian City in the distance.
Song Jiulai saw it too.
Her eyes widened instantly.
Liuxian, Liuxian. At this moment, Song Jiulai finally felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.
They were flying in the sky, but they could still see the massive city-state faintly appearing and disappearing amidst the clouds in the distance.
Above the city-state, several buildings of different designs floated.
As they entered the vicinity of Liuxian City, an even purer and denser Spiritual Energy surged into Song Jiulai’s body.
The feeling was incredibly comfortable. Even Su Huanli remarked, “Every time I come to Liuxian City, it’s a rare moment of enjoyment. The Spiritual Energy here is so dense. I heard that in the Sect City of the Myriad Immortal Sect, the Spiritual Energy density is tens of times that of Liuxian City. It’s truly unimaginable what kind of lives the cultivators there lead.”
Even a cultivator like Su Huanli, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, couldn’t help but reveal a hint of envy in her tone.
Song Jiulai’s gaze flickered back and forth between the floating buildings in Liuxian City.
Her eyesight was good now, and she felt something on them was flashing, and then something would pop out from time to time.
Could it be a Teleportation Array?
Song Jiulai quietly asked Su Huanli, “Senior Sister Su, does Liuxian City have Teleportation Arrays?”
Su Huanli nodded, “Of course, it does. Otherwise, with so many cultivators across the Yunzhou Continent, not every Sect could travel in advance. We’re just close by.”
“If you’re close by, you don’t use Teleportation Arrays?”
Su Huanli shook her head, lowering her voice even further, “Not to mention that we can’t afford to build connected Teleportation Arrays, but just for a teleportation of this distance, it costs ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones.”
Song Jiulai gasped and complained to the System in her mind, “Damn, the fees are truly exorbitant!”
Isn’t this just a travel fee?
The System tutted, “Monopoly Sects are just that powerful. They can afford to build Teleportation Arrays, but you can’t. The Spirit Stones required just to manufacture a Teleportation Array are astronomical. Sects capable of building them will definitely want to recoup their costs from above.”
“……”
Hateful!
Can’t afford to ride it. Players are extremely poor in the early stages. Taking one trip isn’t just about going bankrupt; it’s about not even having the qualification to go bankrupt.
It seems I’ll have to focus on developing infrastructure honestly from now on.
Forget high-speed rail for now, but trains are still something to consider.
The reason for insisting on building roads is to ensure safety, not like now where we have to rely on other Sects’ quotas just to depart.
It’s just that those train things cause too much pollution in the early stages. I hope players will use their research spirit to create pollution-free trains first…
“Please stop here and present your Sect Token.”
As they flew closer, the magnificent appearance of the giant city-state came into view. At this moment, a Male Cultivator suddenly appeared.
Song Jiulai’s gaze was even more captivated.
It was because after being in the Yunzhou Continent for so long, she had finally seen a genuine Sword Cultivator.
Yes, a Sword Cultivator.
She had seen all sorts of Flying Magic Treasures, but seeing someone flying on a pure Flying Sword with Sword Control made Song Jiulai feel a touch of emotion.
Moreover, the person appeared in the blink of an eye, so fast that all the cultivators present couldn’t react.
Standing on a Flying Sword emitting a soft glow, the cultivator’s expression was indifferent, and he exuded an extremely oppressive aura. Even Song Jiulai felt a discomfort as if her throat were being squeezed.
Because that was the aura of Realm suppression from a higher-level cultivator.
This cultivator in front of them was at least at the Golden Core Stage.
Su Huanli and the others obediently landed and put away their Flying Magic Treasures.
Song Jiulai, not understanding anything, naturally followed behind them. To avoid causing trouble due to her ignorance, she tried her best not to look or ask.
She would ask what she needed to know after this cultivator left.
After inspecting the Sect Tokens of the group, this cultivator nodded and left a message: “The Immortal Worship Ceremony has a seven-day limit. After seven days, please return to your respective Sects.”
With that said, his figure vanished with a ‘whoosh’.
The moment the Flying Sword disappeared, it not only brought a gust of strong wind.
Song Jiulai also faintly heard the sonic boom sound produced by the extreme speed.
“……”
Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?
Once they confirmed the person was gone, everyone chose to walk towards the city gate. Song Jiulai was a bit confused about the seven-day limit mentioned earlier: “Is there a time limit for entering here?”
Su Huanli nodded, “Because the Major Sects do not keep outsiders, only during such special occasions can they widely welcome disciples from other Sects. Another way is to pay Spirit Stones to stay, as you are not from here, you naturally cannot enjoy the dense Spiritual Energy here.”
Shui Ping followed, shrugging, “Oh well, we Small Sects just don’t have any rights, do we?”
Su Huanli chided, “Shui Ping, don’t speak carelessly in front of Liuxian City.”
Shui Ping wrinkled his nose again.
Song Jiulai sent her thoughts to the System, “Class monopoly is truly terrifying. Just you wait.”
System: “Wait for what?”
Song Jiulai: “Sooner or later, I’ll have players build all the roads. Then, let’s see if Liuxian City chooses to connect with us by train!”
System: “……”
Your ambition is quite grand.
