After understanding some of the situation, Cheng Yu, Elder Yang, and the others headed towards the city gate of Tianze City, the border city of the Dragon Core Outer Court.
If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't lack spirit stones, 10,000 high-grade spirit stones was indeed too expensive.
Therefore, there weren't many experts at the Great Ascension Stage or above who were willing to spend so much money to enter the Dragon Core Outer Court. There were only a few people queuing up in front of Cheng Yu and the others.
Cheng Yu watched as the guards at the gate interrogated the people who entered and asked them why they entered the Dragon Core Outer Court.
Although this question seemed meaningless, the purpose of entering the city would be engraved in the temporary identity token.
In this way, after entering the city, if they found out that you were lying, you would be in trouble.
Soon, it was Cheng Yu's turn.
You guys are together? When the guards saw Cheng Yu and the others were standing together, they sized them up and asked.
Although Cheng Yu could hide his cultivation realm, he didn't want to do so. This was because after arriving at the Dragon Core Outer Court, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't encounter some true experts from the inner court.
If they were to see through their hidden strength, it would be easy for them to get into trouble. After all, they had come to such a strict place. If they were to be more realistic and careful, it wouldn't be easy for them to attract trouble.
In any case, they didn't have to tell them that they were here to inquire about the situation.
Yes! Cheng Yu nodded.
Why are you entering the city? The guard continued to ask.
The general guarding the city was also a Tribulation Stage cultivator. This was enough to show how much importance the inner court placed on the Dragon Core Outer Court.
Moreover, with such a Tribulation Stage cultivator guarding the gate, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hide their cultivation realm from his eyes.
Therefore, he was able to see through Cheng Yu's cultivation realm with a glance.
Generally speaking, there were more Great Ascension Stage cultivators entering the city. After all, there were fewer Tribulation Stage cultivators.
Therefore, when Cheng Yu and the other six Tribulation Stage cultivators appeared here, it was inevitable that they would observe a little more.
We are rogue cultivators who travel all over the world to comprehend more Daos! Cheng Yu replied.
"Is it really just a tour?" The general asked.
Indeed! Cheng Yu affirmed.
"From here onwards, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Pill Outer Dynasty. I don't know if you know what this means, but I want to remind you that once you enter, you will have to follow the rules of the Dragon Pill Outer Dynasty. You are not to cause any trouble. Otherwise, you will be the one to suffer. Do you understand?" The guard thought for a moment before warning Cheng Yu and the others.
Understood Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"20,000 high-grade spiritual stones per person, and you will be able to obtain a temporary identity token!" The guard nodded and said.
"Twenty thousand? Isn't it only ten thousand? "Elder Feng frowned.
This guy was really black-hearted. He actually doubled the price as soon as he opened his mouth. The seven of them had suddenly become 140,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
One had to know that these were Upper Rank Spirit Stones, not Lower or Middle Rank Spirit Stones. An extra ten thousand was simply a huge sum.
"You don't have to hand it over. Go back to where you came from!" the general said indifferently.
"But didn't the people in front of them only hand over ten thousand?" Elder Fang argued.
"You have so many Tribulation Realm cultivators. I have the authority to raise the entrance fee. Do you understand?" The guard said indifferently.
"You …" Elder Feng originally wanted to argue again, but he was stopped by Cheng Yu.
"Alright, 20,000 it is. Here are 140,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones. Can you give us your identity token?" Cheng Yu took out 140,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones and handed it over to the guard.
"Prepare an identity token for them!" The guard general made a simple count and put them away.
The temporary identity token was actually a jade slip. Everyone's identity token required their own spiritual energy to activate. Therefore, it also represented the uniqueness of the token. This was also the reason why they couldn't snatch other people's identity token.
This was similar to the mission identity token prepared by the Cheng Family.
Cheng Yu and the others took their temporary identity token and successfully entered Tianze City.
"General, these people seem to be quite wealthy. Should we …" After Cheng Yu and the others left, one of the guards beside the general laughed. "Only allowed on Creativenovels.com
From his expression, they had done this kind of thing quite often.
Cultivators below the Great Ascension Realm didn't need to pay the entrance fee. Firstly, it was because their strength was too low and didn't pose any threat to the inner court.
Secondly, cultivators with low cultivation usually wouldn't have too much money. Therefore, they wouldn't have any ideas on cultivators below the Great Ascension Realm.
However, cultivators above the Great Ascension Realm had to pay at least 10,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones. Those who were able to take out so many spirit stones as the entrance fee would definitely be quite wealthy.
Furthermore, Cheng Yu was able to take out 140,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones so easily without even blinking his eyes. This was sufficient to prove that he was indeed very wealthy.
"The strength of these people isn't simple. Especially the one leading them. I had probed him a moment ago. His strength should be above mine." The guard looked at the back of Cheng Yu and the others as he spoke pensively.
"Is that person really so powerful?" The guard was startled.
He was only a Great Ascension Realm cultivator. He only knew that Cheng Yu and the others cultivation realm was higher than him. That meant that they were definitely in the Tribulation Realm.
As for how high Cheng Yu's strength was, it was very difficult for him to measure. After all, they weren't on the same level at all.
The guard was also an expert at the Tribulation Realm. Cheng Yu and the others were in the same realm. Although he couldn't directly see through the other party's strength, he could still get a rough idea through simple probing.
More importantly, he had deliberately used his primordial spirit to check Cheng Yu's strength, but Cheng Yu had calmly resisted it. This made him even more certain that Cheng Yu's strength wasn't simple
"It's hard to say. Not to mention him, even the others are very strong. Perhaps they aren't any weaker than me "The guard said.
"They said that they have traveled the world. It seems that they do have the strength to do so" Hearing the guard's words, the guard was shocked.
"It's fine if they are really traveling here, but I'm afraid that they have other motives. Send a few people to keep an eye on them" The guard said after some thought.
"But even if they are very powerful, there are only seven of them. Is there a need?" The guard said.
"Regardless of whether they have other motives or not, it's always right to follow them and take a look. At the very least, we have to watch them leave Tianze City." The guard said.
Tianze City
As a border city of the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty and one of the main places for foreign cultivators, there were many experts in Tianze City.
If a city or even an outer dynasty didn't have a large number of ordinary people, it would be impossible for it to exist.
After all, all the food, clothing, and housing in the city needed to be maintained by ordinary people. Moreover, the consumption of the city also needed money.
Therefore, the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty didn't restrict everyone. Cultivators below the Great Ascension Stage could enter the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty at will. This injected vitality into the entire Outer Dynasty.
If outsiders had to pay a high toll to enter the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty, then there would be no one left in the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty.
Therefore, the entrance fee of the entire Outer Dynasty was only to limit high level cultivators above the Great Ascension Stage. This way, not only could it limit the experts who entered the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty, it could also increase the wealth of the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty.
Therefore, compared to the other outer dynasties, the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty was very rich. Compared to the other cities in the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty, Tianze City and the other border cities were the richest places in the Dragon Core Outer Dynasty.
It was precisely because of its wealth that the Tianze City was extremely huge. Even compared to an ordinary first-rate city, the Tianze City was several times larger. This was enough to show the grandeur of the Tianze City.
However, no matter how grand this place was, it was still a border city. The inner court was still very far away from here, so this was not Cheng Yu's destination.
Young Master, they are following us After entering the city, Elder Fang said softly.
Let them follow us. It's not like we plan to do anything anyway Cheng Yu said indifferently.
These fellows are really black-hearted. They took away 70,000 high-grade spirit stones from us all of a sudden. Now, they even sent people to follow us. Could it be that they suspect us? Elder Feng said with dissatisfaction.
Just now, he used his primordial spirit to check my strength and was blocked by me. Perhaps he knew that I was stronger than him, so he was suspicious.
However, it's still the same thing. They don't plan to do anything out of line. Even if they send people to follow us, it doesn't matter Cheng Yu said.
That's why I've already said that the closer they are to the inner court, the more loyal they are to the Lord. If we annex these foreign dynasties, sooner or later, something will happen! "Elder Yang said.
Although they didn't leave the inner court often, they had been to Tianze City a few times, so they could be considered to have a rough understanding of the situation here.
Moreover, they were already used to the strict environment of the entire Tianze City.
Walking on the streets of Tianze City, they could often see one or two teams of patrols. It could be seen that this place was indeed very vigilant.
As expected of the core area of the inner court. The degree of security here is indeed much higher than I imagined. It seems that the inner court is really very careful. In fact, they are so strict. They might not be guarding against external enemies. I think they are guarding against other outer courts Cheng Yu said after walking for a while.
That is indeed the case. After all, no force would dare to attack the outer court of Dragon Pill. Moreover, with the strength of the experts in the outer court of Dragon Pill, the forces that want to attack this place are definitely not ordinary.
Therefore, it is at least an army of the outer court level. Therefore, the inner court is indeed guarding against the rebellion of other outer courts Elder Yang said with a nod.
If we really start a war with the dynasty, we won't easily come here. This is very disadvantageous for us.
