Chapter 659
"Wow, what a huge warship and magical artifact, Master! Look at the people on the deck of that warship. They're just dressed as guards, but each of them exudes the aura of the Primordial Realm."
Bai Li acted like a naive young wife who had never seen the world before, sometimes marveling at the huge warship, and sometimes cheering at the chariot pulled by the divine beast.
Her voice, like a clear silver bell, echoed in the air. It caused the noblemen and noble ladies on the warships and carriages to lower their heads and look at her with contempt and disdain.
Chen Xuan blushed under the gaze of the group of cultivators, grabbed Bai Li by the back of her collar, and covered her naive mouth with his hand.
This comical scene occurred just before entering the city and was witnessed by the cultivators who had gathered there from all over.
Immediately, the sounds of men's hearty laughter and the silver bells of female cultivators filled the air.
"Master, boohoo, Bai Li has embarrassed you." Knowing she had caused trouble again, Bai Li quickly covered her head with her hands, looking pitiful.
Her voice was filled with grievance and self-reproach, like a child who had done something wrong. Chen Xuan could only smile wryly at Bai Li's reaction; it was human nature, and there was no way to change such things.
"Hold on, this is nothing. It's said that Qingtian County is a heaven-defying magic treasure. If you pull this trick again when we get there, I'll glue your mouth shut."
"Mmm, Bai Li won't dare."
woohoo-
"Fellow Daoists, each person needs one hundred spirit stones or equivalent goods to enter the city."
Chen Xuan had already been paying attention. Seeing the line of guards at the Foundation Establishment Realm blocking his path, Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then tossed over a brocade pouch. The Foundation Establishment Realm guard caught it, and after a wisp of spiritual energy entered, he waved his hand and shouted, "Let them pass!"
"Master, isn't the entrance fee to Dead Sea City too expensive?" Bai Li muttered discontentedly, her voice full of complaints.
"Two hundred catties of spirit grain is indeed not cheap, but most of the rogue cultivators who gather here are just like us. They fly day and night and are physically and mentally exhausted. Since they can replenish their supplies and rest here, no one cares about this little entrance fee."
Just as the master and servant were piloting their flying boat through the wide, mysterious corridor, a barrier covered in profound runes suddenly appeared ahead.
At this moment, two cold and stern men at the Myriad Manifestations Realm also appeared in front of the rune barrier, and shouted at the many cultivators queuing to enter the city.
"Only after passing through this great array can you enter Dead Sea City!" Another man with a deep voice shouted, "I advise you all, if the number of people exceeds the entrance fee you have paid, pay it now, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
With such a massive formation blocking their way, many independent cultivators' expressions changed slightly.
Some people even cursed under their breath, but in the end, due to the overwhelming power of the formation, some who wanted to take advantage of the situation finally took out spirit stones and other resources to make up the difference.
Of course, some people couldn't withstand the pressure and voluntarily made up the difference, while others went down a dead end.
boom--
"Pfft!" Just as a disheveled middle-aged man was trying to enter the great formation on his flying sword, he was directly bounced out by the detection formation.
"Outrageous! Bringing a spirit beast but only paying the entrance fee for one person! Seize him!"
The difference in strength was too great. Although the disheveled middle-aged man tried his best to deny it, he was still captured and taken away by the guards of Dead Sea City.
"Master, what should we do?" Bai Li began to worry upon seeing this scene. It wasn't for any other reason than that the hundreds of descendants of the Five Immortals of Tangwu Mountain alone would have to pay back countless amounts of spirit grain.
Her voice was filled with worry and unease.
Chen Xuan gestured for Bai Li to calm down, "Don't worry, we'll just pass through the formation."
"Okay, Master." Although Bai Li looked nervous, she continued to steer the flying boat closer to the detection array.
Fortunately, the dilapidated flying boat passed through the detection array without causing any fluctuations.
After passing through the great formation, the interior was once again a paradise on earth.
Everyone thought that Dead Sea City, a lawless place, should be a desolate and lifeless place.
But when Chen Xuan and his companion actually stepped inside, they both gasped in astonishment. One after another, pavilions in the sky sat atop a floating array, with green mountains and clear waters below. Individual cultivators either flew or rode magical artifacts in and out of these magnificent and ancient palaces.
"Wow, Master, look, this is what the life of a cultivator is like!" Bai Li's voice was full of amazement and longing.
