A few months later, a towering city that was hundreds of feet high appeared in front of him. Just through the city wall, he could feel the rich spiritual Qi in this huge city.
This was the Blue Nether City. Looking at this huge city, Lu Xiaotian's heart couldn't help but shake. It was the first time he had seen such a large island with a radius of tens of thousands of miles with this kind of city wall. Even the Full Moon City paled in comparison to the Blue Nether City in front of him. From this, it could be seen that the abundance of spiritual items in the Blue Devil Sea Area was really not comparable to the Full Moon Immortal World.
Lanming City was also one of the few forces in the Blue Demon Sea Region. It also had a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, so there was no need to worry about the kind of interrogation by Devilfall Valley. And after a few months, the sea region where the incident happened was almost turned upside down. There were complaints everywhere, but they still couldn't find anything. No matter how unwilling the people of Devilfall Valley and Zi Tong Sect were, they could only give up on continuing the search. After all, the interests of a Sect could not be completely controlled by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Devilfall Valley was fine. They could rely on the strength of a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator to suppress them. But the middle Nascent Soul stage cultivator of Zi Tong Sect could not cover the sky with one hand. They had to consider the feelings of other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
All in all, Lu Xiaotian safely left Luohe Island. When he killed Chi Jingbai, he wanted to exchange some of his magic weapons for Spirit Stones. But now he was not short of Spirit Stones. After this incident, he could not easily sell Chi Jingbai's things. Otherwise, it would be easy for the people of Devilfall Valley to find clues.
Like Lu Xiaotian, there were many Foundation Establishment cultivators who chose to come to Lanming City to cross the tribulation. After getting on the island, they were still thousands of miles away from the immortal guards under the city wall. At this time, there was no conflict of interest. Many late Foundation Establishment cultivators got to know each other with a kind face. At this time, a gray-haired old man was trying to get close to Lu Xiaotian.
"I'm Yu Ansheng. I wonder if you also came to Lanming City to break through to the Jin Dan realm?" Yu Ansheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am Lu Xiaotian." Lu Xiaotian nodded.
"So it's Lu Daoyou. I didn't expect Lu Daoyou to have already reached such a shocking level at such a young age. You're really young and promising. Presumably, your innate talent is not bad. There's hope for you to form your Gold Core." Yu Ansheng chuckled. "I wonder if Lu Daoyou has enough spirit stones?"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, what do you mean by this?" Lu Xiaotian asked with a frown. No matter which Immortal Cultivation World it was, casually asking for the Spirit Stones of others was a taboo.
"Lu Daoyou, don't misunderstand. I don't mean any harm. It's just that the cost of renting a place in Lanming City is too high. For many of us peak Foundation Establishment cultivators, the amount of Spirit Stones we have after condensing our Jin Dan and purchasing Dharma artifacts for tribulation transcendence is ultimately limited. However, there are also places in Lanming City that can be rented together. Two or three people can share a place, and everyone can undergo their tribulation in order. Although the cost of renting a place is a bit higher than an ordinary abode, it's still quite a bit cheaper when shared among everyone," Yu Ansheng explained.
So that's how it is. Lu Xiaotian nodded in understanding. As far as the eye could see, there were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators like Yu Ansheng. Yu Ansheng was right. Independent cultivators didn't have too much money on hand. The Dharma artifacts and Jin Dan pills for tribulation transcendence were all major expenses. The price of renting an abode in Lanming City was also incomparably high. There was also a time limit. No one knew when they would undergo their tribulation. Some cultivators didn't even wait until the day of their tribulation before they ran out of Spirit Stones and were chased out by the people of Lanming City.
There were even some unfortunate cultivators who underwent their tribulation outside Lanming City on the day or two that they were chased out.
"Lu Daoyou, although there are some disadvantages to renting a place together, there are also benefits. You can observe the tribulation transcendence of other Fellow Daoists at a close distance and accumulate experience for your own tribulation transcendence." Yu Ansheng also saw that Lu Xiaotian was dressed plainly and didn't look like he was rich. He was worried that Lu Xiaotian wouldn't agree, so he explained. He had gone through his tribulation with another person before. That person had left immediately after his tribulation transcendence. Although Yu Ansheng was furious, he couldn't do anything about it.
He couldn't afford to rent a place alone and was chased out. At this moment, Yu Ansheng felt that he would undergo his tribulation in a few days. He wanted to trick a newcomer into renting a place together. Once he became a Jin Dan cultivator, he could also leave. Lu Xiaotian would have to think of something by then.
"No, I still have some Spirit Stones. They should be able to last until the tribulation transcendence." Lu Xiaotian shook his head and refused. When he was on his way to Luohe Island, several groups of adventuring cultivators had tried to kill him, but he had instead killed them and seized a large amount of wealth. That blood-masked cultivator, Chi Jingbai, was even more astonishingly wealthy. He didn't even have many mid-grade spirit stones on him. Almost all of them were high-grade spirit stones, and he even had a few supreme-grade spirit stones. Even Golden Core cultivators valued supreme-grade spirit stones. A supreme-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. Perhaps only Nascent Soul Patriarchs could easily take it out. Chi Jingbai's Dharma artifacts and other things couldn't be taken out easily, but his Spirit Stones weren't a problem. As for the tribulation transcendence, Lu Xiaotian had already seen Di Kun's lightning tribulation. Moreover, he wasn't really a newbie. Before he came, he also understood some of the rules of Blue Nether City. As long as he paid some Spirit Stones, he could still go to other cultivators' cave abodes to observe their tribulation transcendence.
Hearing Lu Xiaotian's refusal, Yu Ansheng was instantly disappointed. He exchanged a few polite words with Lu Xiaotian before looking for his next target.
There were many cultivators like Yu Ansheng in the crowd. However, many of them were in a similar situation as Yu Ansheng. There wasn't much time left until their tribulation transcendence, so it was more worth it to find some newcomers. Otherwise, if they found a renting partner who would transcend their tribulation before them in a few days, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Blue Nether City was very vast, and there were many entrances to the city. Lu Xiaotian came to one of the city gates and directly paid the Spirit Stones for two years' worth of rent. This caused the cultivator in charge of registration to be shocked. Most cultivators only came when they were a few months away from their tribulation transcendence. Some came for more than a year. Very few were like Lu Xiaotian, who paid for two years' worth of rent at once. The cultivator in front of him looked young, but he was very generous.
After paying the Spirit Stones and entering Blue Nether City, Lu Xiaotian felt that the inside and outside of the city were two completely different worlds. The density of the Spirit Qi surpassed any place he had been before. Looking back, Lu Xiaotian was shocked. As a formation master, he naturally realized that the tall and majestic city walls weren't completely used against enemies. Instead, it was a huge Spirit Gathering Formation that gathered the Spirit Qi of the four seas for one's own use. Even for cultivators, who knew how much manpower and how many years it would take to build such a huge city? To be able to set up such a huge formation, how terrifying was the person who set it up!?
