Mercenary City was located at the very center of the Tian Yuan Continent. The entire city had been constructed at the very center of the continent. Although there were no walls, the amount of land the city occupied was no less than the seven capital cities of the continent. It was the most famous city on the continent.
In the eyes of the mercenaries, Mercenary City symbolized a divine power. It was a sacred place that could not be profaned, symbolizing freedom and peace.
This was because Mercenary City did not have as many rules and regulations as other cities. Everyone was equal in Mercenary City, and there was no difference between the strong and the weak. Even a Heaven Saint Master and a commoner possessed the same status. There was no such thing as the strong preying on the weak. This was because fighting was forbidden in Mercenary City. Once inside, no matter how powerful you were, you would not be able to use it.
Without a doubt, this prohibition made Mercenary City the safest place of refuge on the Tian Yuan Continent. This was because there was no need to worry about being hunted down by your enemies if you stayed there.
Although there had been many people who had broken this rule in the past, it was impossible for anyone who broke the rule to survive, even if they were peak Heaven Saint Masters. At the same time, there had never been any rumors of a murder in Mercenary City.
The only thing that could prove one's status in Mercenary City was money. As long as one had money, they could enjoy the superior treatment of a ruler. Without money, they could only sleep on the streets. Even eating would be a problem.
Jianchen flew through the air with the White Tiger in his arms. From afar, he could already see a large cluster of buildings standing in front of him. In the sky, he could vaguely see an extremely huge, transparent barrier that seemed to envelop the entire region, enveloping the entire Mercenary City.
Jianchen became lost in thought as he stared at the huge barrier. He had come to Mercenary City once in the past, so he had a rough understanding of the place. He vaguely knew a few things. It seemed like the prohibition against fighting in Mercenary City was closely related to the huge barrier in the sky.
Mercenary City did not have walls, so the roads leading into the city extended in all directions. Mercenaries and carriages carrying large amounts of goods constantly entered the city from all directions. Even though Mercenary City did not send any guards to maintain order, the mercenaries who entered the city all suppressed their wild nature and entered the city in an orderly manner. Everything seemed to be in order.
Jianchen landed a few kilometers away from the barrier before making his way toward Mercenary City. He passed through the barrier without any obstructions and entered the city.
As soon as he entered Mercenary City, Jianchen went to a place that sold magical beast mounts and bought a Class 3 magical beast mount for transportation. Mercenary City was just too large, and flying was forbidden in the city. As a result, he could only travel on a magical beast mount.
Jianchen weaved through the bustling streets on his magical beast mount, buying all sorts of delicacies. He had prepared all of these for the villagers of Longevity Valley, uncle Xiu, and the others, especially Little Fatty. He had never left Longevity Valley, so he did not know about the outside world. Of course, he had never tasted the delicacies of the outside world before.
Jianchen strolled through the bustling streets for half a day. He used the large amount of purple coins stored in his Space Ring to buy things like crazy. Only after filling up five Space Belts did he finally stop. He then rode his magical beast mount to the largest medicinal store in Mercenary City.
An hour later, Jianchen stopped outside a five-story castle. This was one of the stores in Mercenary City that specialized in selling all sorts of heavenly resources and precious medicinal ingredients.
"Wuuuuuu …" The White Tiger in Jianchen's embrace had already smelled the fragrance of heavenly resources before he had even entered the store. It cried out urgently and excitedly in Jianchen's embrace. If it were not for Jianchen's tight embrace, it probably would have charged in by itself.
Jianchen could not help but smile when he saw how impatient the White Tiger was. As heavenly resources over a thousand years old were just too rare in the Kingdom of Gesun, it had been a very long time since the White Tiger had tasted heavenly resources. It was starving.
Jianchen strode in with the White Tiger in his arms. There were many more people in the store than he had imagined. There were over a hundred people dressed as mercenaries or merchants picking out things inside. A few attendants were extremely busy inside. However, he could tell from their conversations that they were all here to buy medicinal ingredients. A few mercenaries were here to sell heavenly resources that were several hundred years old.
Jianchen looked around and discovered that the first floor of the store was mostly selling precious medicinal ingredients. As for heavenly resources, there was not even a single one for display.
This was not the first time Jianchen had come to such a large store. He knew that the most important items were usually sold on the higher floors. Jianchen did not stop at the first floor and continued on to the second floor.
When he arrived at the second floor, other than precious medicinal ingredients, there were already some heavenly resources for sale. However, almost all of them were under 500 years old. It was bustling with activity.
Jianchen did not stop at all and continued on to the third floor. However, when he arrived at the staircase leading to the third floor, he was stopped by a guard.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. The third floor is only open to VIPs with purple gold cards." The guard's tone was rather polite.
Jianchen did not say anything. Several purple gold cards appeared in his hand at the same time. Seeing the purple gold cards, the guard did not stop him. He immediately put on a smiling face and invited Jianchen up.
The fourth floor was very quiet. Only a few people were bargaining with the waiters. Here, Jianchen finally saw a few sealed heavenly resources placed on display. The price was marked, and the lowest price was over ten thousand purple gold. Some of the older rare species were even priced at over a hundred thousand purple gold. It could be said that they were very expensive.
Looking at the heavenly resources that were over a thousand years old, the White Tiger's eyes immediately became straight. It kept licking its lips and had a covetous expression.
"Young master, how may I be of service to you?" A female waitress around twenty years old came in front of Jianchen.
Jianchen slowly made his way to a display and stared at a well-preserved heavenly resource. He said, "I want to discuss a big deal with you. Call over your manager who can make the decision."
The waitress glanced at Jianchen in surprise, but she did not dare to object. After calling out to Jianchen, she went to find the person in charge.
Very soon, a middle-aged woman in luxurious robes with heavy makeup was invited out by the waitress who had left earlier. She directly arrived before Jianchen. The waitress smiled and explained to Jianchen, "Young master, this is our manager."
The middle-aged woman studied Jianchen and smiled, "My name is Ochir. I am the manager of this store. May I ask how I should address you, young master? You give me a familiar feeling, as if I've seen you somewhere before."
Jianchen smiled and said, "Manager Ochir, let's get down to business. May I ask how many thousand-year-old heavenly resources you have in your store?"
Seeing that Jian Chen didn't want to reveal his identity, manager Ou Qier tactfully didn't continue to ask. She smiled and said, "We do have some heavenly resources in stock, but there aren't many thousand-year-old ones. We only have 28 of them. Since young master is asking me this question, could it be that you want to buy all of these heavenly resources?"
"Manager Ochir, calculate the total price of these twenty-eight heavenly resources," Jianchen said calmly.
Ochir was slightly surprised when she heard that. She asked uncertainly, "Young master, do you really want to buy all twenty-seven heavenly resources? That's quite a large sum of money. "
Jianchen nodded slightly and did not say anything else.
After receiving confirmation, Ou Qi 'er's face also revealed a happy expression. Purchasing more than 20 thousand-year-old Heaven and Earth Treasures in one go, such a generous guest was very rare.
Ochir immediately took out an abacus and began calculating. She quickly calculated the price and said, "Young master, these twenty-six heavenly resources are of different ages. Some are over a thousand years old, some are two or three thousand years old, and some are extremely rare. As a result, the price of each heavenly resource is different as well. The total price of these twenty-six heavenly resources is one million and thirty thousand purple coins. If you're sure you want to buy all of them in one go, then we'll round it down and only charge you one million purple coins. Is that acceptable?"
"Alright, that's it. Twenty-six heavenly resources are one million purple coins in total." Jianchen straightforwardly took out a purple-gold card and gave it to Ochir. He knew a little about the price of heavenly resources. Although the price varied from region to region, Ochir's price was still fair. Moreover, these thousand-year-old heavenly resources were still priceless in some small regions.
Ochir accepted the purple-gold card excitedly, "If you need more thousand-year-old heavenly resources in the future, please come find me. I'll give you a discount."
Jianchen pondered slightly and said, "Manager Ochir, do you have any ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources here?"
"What? Ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources? " Ochir was surprised. She stared at Jianchen in surprise and said, "Young master, ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources are not as easy to find as thousand-year-old heavenly resources. Ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources are treasures that can only be found through luck. They are very difficult to find on the market, but the price of each one is extremely high. After all, they are treasures that can allow people to be reborn. They are also known as elixirs of immortality. Many experts at the end of their lifespans will use these treasures to extend their lives."
"Then may I ask if manager Ochir knows where I can buy ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources?" Jianchen asked.
