Ding Yi's eyes also widened in shock.
The pig spirit looked around and didn't seem surprised at all, as if he was used to it.
"Hey, hey, hey, you three, what are you waiting for? Pay the fee and leave. Don't block the people behind. " Next to him, an old man with gray hair stood outside the Teleportation Formation with a stone table in front of him. He looked like an old man collecting fees at the entrance of a public toilet and looked at the three of them with disdain.
He had been collecting fees here for so many years that he had already developed a pair of sharp eyes. At first glance, he was sure that Li Mu and the other two were country bumpkins from the countryside.
"How much is it?" Ding Yi asked.
The old man raised his nose and said, "One copper-colored fairy crystal per person."
"What?"
Li Mu and the other two were shocked.
The old man sneered on the spot. "Do you think it's too expensive? If you have the ability, you can teleport back. "
Li Mu and Ding Yi, however, thought that it was too cheap.
The people of the Gold Sun Sect were really unscrupulous. Each teleportation cost at least a silver-colored fairy crystal, but this place only asked for one copper-colored fairy crystal. Sure enough, the poorer and more backward a place was, the more unscrupulous it was.
Unruly people came from barren hills and unruly rivers.
Li Mu threw over a silver-colored fairy crystal without hesitation and said, "Keep the change."
"Oh, thank you, sir." The old man immediately beamed with joy.
Ding Yi looked at Li Mu with a sad look in his eyes.
"Sect Master, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. You have to be thrifty." He pointed to the pig spirit Zhu Luyi and said, "Besides, we have a pig now."
"What's wrong with a pig?" Zhu Luyi said frankly, "Can I take it that you are discriminating against our race?"
Ding Yi curled his lips and said nothing.
Li Mu didn't want to bicker with these two buffoons.
He asked the old man for some information.
Generally speaking, according to Li Mu's experience on Earth, such old men who guarded the Transmitting Deployment were the most knowledgeable about the local affairs, legends, gossip, and secrets. They were also the most well-informed, so they were the best people to ask.
The old man must not be ignored.
Just like the old man at the gate of the reception office of the Chinese Opera and Film Media University, he was simply omniscient. He knew all the gossip of all the stars, comparable to the masses in Chaoyang.
Sure enough, the old man chuckled and said, "Haha, you're right to ask me."
Li Mu asked one question, and the old man answered three times.
In the end, Sir System mysteriously took out a damaged jade ring.
"Young man, I really admire you. There aren't many youngsters who know how to respect the elderly these days … In this piece of jade, I have recorded in detail all sorts of things that you need to pay attention to here, all sorts of taboos, as well as the various major powers, experts, and sects' territories in this Star Wind City, as well as all sorts of resources and information that you need to buy. From the top to killing people, to the bottom to delivering goods and visiting brothels, there's everything you need. I won't tell normal people, but this time, I'll give it to you for free."
Sir System had a look that said, "You've taken advantage of me."
Li Mu took the jade ring, thanked him with a smile, and then left.
On the way, Li Mu copied the information in the jade ring with a secret tactical deployment and stored it in his own jade ring. Then, he casually threw away the incomplete jade ring given by the old man.
It could be said that he was very cautious.
Then, he began to read the information in the jade pendant.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't taken a look, but the moment he did, he was shocked.
"This Sir John Doe really didn't brag at all."
The information in the jade ring was really classified and very comprehensive. The content involved all aspects, such as food, clothing, housing, travel, gossip, legends, and all kinds of strength rankings. It could be regarded as a guide to the life of outsiders in Star Wind City.
Li Mu roughly read it and had a plan in mind.
Two hours later.
The three of them appeared in a restaurant in Star Wind City.
The restaurant was located on a floating mountain. It was quite high, with lush ancient trees and abundant Spiritual Qi. The building style was extremely perfect. Obviously, a lot of thought had been put into it. The people who came to this restaurant were either rich or noble, and they all came by flying boats, flying shuttles, and other means of transportation.
Li Mu sat by the window and looked around curiously.
There were four upper-class stars in the Heavenly Meridian Area, and the Star Wind World was one of them. Star Wind City was the largest main city in the Star Wind World. Its martial arts civilization was developed, and it was closely connected with other cities and other worlds in the Star Wind World. All kinds of Teleportation Deployments, Star Paths, and networks were densely connected and extended in all directions.
The scenery of Star Wind City was completely different from what Li Mu had seen in Gold Town. The difference between the two was like the difference between a small town in the deep mountains on Earth and a modern metropolis. He had never been here and had not seen these scenes with his own eyes. He really couldn't imagine the beauty of such a big city just by imagination.
Moreover, the most important thing was that for the first time, Li Mu learned that there was such a thing as the "Immortal Net" in this Star Region, just like the Internet on Earth.
On the "Immortal Net", one could inquire about and buy a lot of things and services, which was very convenient.
The only two requirements were that one had enough strength and money.
The minimum requirement to log in to the Immortal Net System was to reach the Worm Realm and turn his spiritual force into Divine Consciousness.
Moreover, the charge on the Immortal Net was based on time … This seemed to be similar to the local Internet. Whether it was in an Internet cafe or at home, one had to pay to surf the Internet.
However, the popularity of the "Immortal Net" in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was obviously not as high as that of the Internet on Earth. Ordinary cultivators would log in to the Immortal Net to inquire about and purchase services through the "Immortal Dock", which had similar functions as an "Internet cafe". The cost was relatively low. However, if one wanted to have his own Net Card and log in to the Immortal Net at any time, the cost would be high. Ordinary cultivators couldn't afford it at all.
Of course, it was also a truth in the universe that money could make the devil push millstones.
Before arriving at the restaurant called "Immortal Pavilion", Li Mu spent a gold-colored fairy crystal. According to the information given by the old man, he had already gotten a Net Card in the black market of Star Wind City, which could allow him to log in to the Immortal Net.
"The old man didn't lie to me."
The reason why he only bought one Net Card was not that Li Mu was stingy, but that although Ding Yi and the pig spirit were very interested in "surfing the Internet", the former had not passed the Divine Tribulation, so his spiritual force had not turned into Divine Consciousness, so he could only watch. The latter proudly said that he had his own means of "surfing the Internet" and did not need a Net Card.
The pig spirit had his own secrets, so Li Mu didn't bother to inquire about them.
While the waiter was serving the wine and dishes, Li Mu took out the "Net Card" that looked like a miniature token. After observing it for a moment, he inserted a wisp of Divine Consciousness into it according to the instructions.
"Buzz!"
A picture appeared in his mind.
"Welcome to the Immortal Net. You can find everything you want here. "
The official language of the universe flashed and disappeared. Then, dozens of options that could be called "menus" appeared on the screen.
It was a very magical experience, like a holographic projection.
A new world slowly unfolded before Li Mu.
Li Mu glanced at the five options on the main interface, which were "Magic Treasures", "Cultivation Methods", "Schools", "Magical Items", and "Miscellaneous", showed that they were open and could be accessed. The other options were gray and sealed.
Li Mu knew that it was because the level of the Net Card he bought was not high enough.
High-level Net Cards could not be bought casually on the black market.
Li Mu entered the five options and browsed through them. He felt that the clouds were dispelled and the sun was shining.
His understanding of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was rapidly deepened, and he was deeply shocked by the magic of the martial arts civilization.
On the Immortal Net, one could buy all kinds of treasures, from Taoist Treasures and Spirit Treasures to Taoist instruments and magic instruments. From weapons and armors to flying boats and shuttles, one could also buy all kinds of Cultivation Methods, secret skills, and all kinds of secrets. On the Immortal Net, one could become a disciple, hire bodyguards, kill people, and resell goods …
Li Mu's horizons were broadened.
In essence, there was no difference between the Immortal Net and the Internet on Earth.
However, the Immortal Net was built on the basis of the martial arts civilization. It was the product of the development of tactical deployments and talismans to a high level. It spanned across the universe and connected several major star regions. Its coverage was really vast, which was amazing.
The force that operated and maintained the Immortal Net must be extremely powerful.
At least the major sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region that Li Mu had contact with did not have this ability. Even the Heavenly Devil Sect, which claimed to be the top sect in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, did not have this kind of strength.
Li Mu was dazzled, but he was not too anxious to buy the experience. He mainly browsed through the information.
Among them, the "Miscellaneous" category was equivalent to a large forum, where all kinds of information could be found. The accumulation of tens of thousands of years was as vast as the sea. It was divided into different small sections, including all kinds of gossip in the universe, secret history of the past, major events, and so on.
Li Mu saw his name in the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
"Li Mu, the fierce bandit in the universe, showed up at the Star River Posthouse of the Gold Sun Sect in Gold Town today. He started a massacre and washed Gold Town with blood!"
"The killing maniac has finally stepped into the universe. Where should the major sects go?"
"The scene is extremely bloody. You have to pay a copper-colored fairy crystal to read the live video of the battle in Gold Town."
"He calls himself the Wild Broadsword. Li Mu swore to wipe out all the major sects."
"The interstellar bounty hunters are swarming here. The clown, the Wild Broadsword, is about to be destroyed."
"The new head of the Gold Sun Sect swears to kill Li Mu and avenge his disciples!"
At a glance, there were all kinds of posts on the forum, and many of them were very popular. All of them were related to Li Mu. Obviously, in a short period of time, the news that Li Mu had stepped into the universe had spread on the Immortal Net. Some of the posts really had pictures of the battle, which could be read as long as one paid 10 copper-colored fairy crystals.
One of the posts that included pictures of the battle had been viewed more than 200,000 times. By rough estimation, the post writer named "All the People Are Blind, But I Am Alone" had already earned hundreds of silver-colored fairy crystals.
"How can I make money like this?"
Li Mu thought to himself, "What a pity."
"If I had known this earlier, I should have recorded the scene of the battle with the Water Mirror Skill. Now, I can also put it on the forum of the Immortal Net to swindle money."
"It has been found out that the Wild Broadsword has gone to the Heavenly Meridian Area and has now appeared in Star Wind City!"
Among them, such a post caught Li Mu's attention.
"His whereabouts have been exposed so quickly."
