Encountering the mysterious person in the carriage along the way gave Jianchen a lot of doubts. From the way that captain Lan addressed the person, it wasn't hard to tell that the person in the carriage was an old man. His strength was unfathomable in Jianchen's eyes. At the very least, he definitely wasn't a Great Saint Master. This was because Jianchen could sense the strength of Great Saint Masters, but the mysterious old man in the carriage was something that Jianchen couldn't sense at all.
"Looks like he has the strength of an Earth Saint Master at the very least. But why did he give me this medallion?" Looking at the expensive medallion, Jianchen softly muttered to himself. There weren't any words on the medallion, but it was covered in strange patterns.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Let's hurry on. As for the City of Gods in the Holy Emperor's Kingdom, when I have enough strength in the future, I will naturally go there." Jianchen quickly calmed down and put the medallion into his Space Ring before continuing on his way.
The official road was very quiet. Sometimes, there would be no one to be seen for a long time. However, during the day, there were still quite a few mercenaries and caravans riding on horses and various magical beasts.
Because he had a map, Jianchen didn't have to worry about getting lost. Following that, Jianchen followed the route on the map and walked along the official road for three days before finally arriving at a city called 'Phoenix City'.
Fengyang City was a second-tier city. The entire city covered an area of several hundred kilometers. When they arrived here, the number of people on the official road had also increased. The wide road was almost filled with people. Groups of half-naked or armored mercenaries were riding on tall horses and some magic beasts. They were escorting carriages filled with goods as they slowly walked on the official road. All kinds of discussions filled the surroundings, and it was a hubbub of voices.
Jianchen followed the flow of people as he slowly walked towards the tall city walls of Fengyang City. Among the mercenaries walking on the official road, many of them were traveling alone like Jianchen, so Jianchen didn't attract much attention.
At the entrance of Fengyang City, there were many armored soldiers standing guard. All of them were standing straight as their sharp gazes swept across the people entering and leaving Fengyang City.
"Stop! What are you doing?" At this time, a loud shout came from the side. A relatively large caravan was stopped by a soldier guarding the city.
At this time, a short and stout middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe immediately walked up first. He pretended to be friendly and took the soldier's hand. Then, he quietly stuffed a few glittering coins into the soldier's hand and whispered something with a charming smile on his face.
The soldier rubbed the coins that the short and stout middle-aged man had stuffed into his hand. The stern expression on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced with a look of satisfaction. He waved his hand and said, "Go in!"
Almost all the caravans that entered the city would be stopped by the soldiers and charged a small fee. This was extremely common on the Tian Yuan Continent. Of course, there were a few caravans that did not want to pay the fee, but without exception, the soldiers would forcefully search the caravans using various excuses to prevent dangerous goods from entering the city or to search the caravans for their goods.
Although everyone was dissatisfied with their rudeness, these soldiers had the backing of the entire city behind them. They were not people that normal people could afford to offend. In front of them, even some of the more hot-tempered mercenaries could only swallow their anger.
Jianchen entered Fengyang City without any obstructions. The soldiers were also very specific when it came to collecting fees. Mercenaries like Jianchen who were traveling alone or mercenary groups that weren't escorting goods were ignored. Only caravans would be stopped by them.
As a second class city, Fengyang City was very large. Compared to Wake City, it was undoubtedly much more prosperous. After entering the city, Jianchen asked around and found a place that sold horses. He spent a few gold coins to buy a decent horse and then rode it into the city.
Fengyang City was very large. If one didn't have a mount, just walking from the east gate to the west gate would take half a day.
Jianchen rode his horse through the wide road and finally arrived at a bank. He tied the reins of his horse and directly entered the bank.
Inside the bank, Jianchen exchanged all the copper, silver, and gold coins he had on him for purple crystal coins. He only kept a small portion for himself. Almost all of this money was taken from the mercenaries in the Magical Beast Mountain Range by Jianchen. Now, it was almost enough to fill up a spatial belt.
When he had exchanged all the money he needed to equip an entire spatial belt for purple crystal coins, he had actually exchanged over thirty thousand purple crystal coins. In addition to the purple crystal coins he had on him, he had a total of forty thousand purple crystal coins.
When Jianchen walked out of the bank, he already had a purple gold card in his hand. This card was known as the Purple Gold Card in the Tian Yuan Continent.
The Purple Gold Card was used by everyone in the Tian Yuan Continent. It was used to store large amounts of purple crystal coins that couldn't be carried around. Of course, the Purple Gold Card didn't have an independent space like a spatial belt. It was used to calculate the amount of purple crystal coins. With this card, one could deposit and withdraw money from any bank in the Tian Yuan Continent at any time. Moreover, in some high class markets, one could use the Purple Gold Card to make purchases and payments. It was undoubtedly much more convenient than directly carrying large amounts of purple crystal coins.
The Purple Gold Card was only half the size of a palm. It was made from a small amount of Purple Gold and some special materials using a secret method. Therefore, although it looked weak, it was extremely hard. Even an Earth Saint Master wouldn't be able to damage it.
Although obtaining a Purple Gold Card wasn't difficult, it wasn't something an ordinary person could obtain. This was because only those with ten thousand purple crystal coins had the right to obtain a Purple Gold Card.
Having a Purple Gold Card wasn't just a symbol of status on the Tian Yuan Continent, it was also a symbol of wealth.
The amount of purple crystal coins stored in a Purple Gold Card could only be measured by the bank through special equipment. Even if an ordinary person wanted to fake it, it was impossible for them to do so. However, the bank only recognized the Purple Gold Card and not the owner. As long as one possessed a Purple Gold Card, they could deposit and withdraw money from any bank on the Tian Yuan Continent regardless of whether they were the owner of the card or not.
Walking out of the bank, Jianchen played with the Purple Gold Card in his hand. Right now, there were almost forty thousand purple crystal coins stored in the card. He had basically stored all the money he had on him, leaving only a small amount for his daily needs.
When the people who passed by the bank saw the Purple Gold Card in Jianchen's hand, they all revealed looks of envy and jealousy. There were even quite a few people who looked at Jianchen with a different meaning.
