Nine Heavens City was the capital of the human race, with a population of sixty million.
Nine Heavens City was divided into an inner and outer city. The outer city had no walls, and was eight hundred miles long.
The inner city was different. It was majestic, with a hundred meter tall wall and arrow towers that pierced the clouds.
The outer city didn't require any procedures to enter, but the inner city was different.
The inner city with a population of over ten million was the Jiuxiao Academy!
The inner city of Nine Heavens City was a place where only the students of Nine Heavens Academy, their families, and the staff of the academy could enter. Nobody else was allowed to enter.
As soon as he got close to Nine Heavens City, Chu Xingyun found something new. In the wooden fence beside a wooden pavilion, there were hundreds of giant birds tied up with ropes made of animal skin.
Seeing Chu Xingyun get close, a few warriors rushed out of the wooden building, smiling at Chu Xingyun to solicit business.
After a brief understanding, Chu Xingyun quickly understood that these people belonged to a special profession — Beast Tamers.
Beast Tamers could use secret arts to train all kinds of spirit beasts for them to use.
Of course, these Beast Tamers were very weak, only at the Sky Spirit Realm. Thus, the spirit beasts they tamed weren't very strong, and couldn't be used in battle.
Although Sky Spirit Pills, Yin Yang Pills, and Nirvana Pills were all easily available to geniuses.
But for most people with mediocre talent, Sky Spirit Pills weren't too expensive. But Yin Yang Pills were different. Without the help of their parents, they might not even be able to buy one even if they worked hard for ten years.
As for Nirvana Pills, ordinary people might never see them in their entire lives. They were firmly controlled by the five great academies.
Even if they did occasionally flow out, they would definitely enter the black market. The price was ridiculously high, which was basically exclusive to the super rich. Ordinary people didn't even need to think about it.
Nine Heavens City was too big. If one had to walk all the way, who knew how long it would take?
Thus … those Beast Tamers who were only at the Heavenly Spirit Realm thought of a good job, which was to use their tamed spirit beasts to carry passengers. It was similar to the rental carriages in the big cities of the True Spirit World.
After asking about the price, Chu Xingyun put his hand into his bosom, and took out ten spirit stones. Then, he handed them over to one of the skinny Beast Tamers. After that, the Beast Tamer led out an unknown bird beast the size of a horse, and handed the reins to Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun took the reins and rode on the back of the bird. The bird flapped its wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the depths of Nine Heavens City.
These giant birds all had signs on them. Those without signs were not allowed to fly in Nine Heavens City.
Riding on the back of the huge bird beast, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but feel cheerful as he looked at the clear sky and the beautiful scenery of the city on the ground.
The huge bird beast didn't fly very fast, but no matter how slow it was, it was still flying. Thus, it only took an hour to reach its destination.
After landing on the ground, Chu Xingyun got off the bird's back, and the bird beast took off again, heading back the way it came.
After tidying up his clothes, Chu Xingyun raised his head and looked around.
After entering Nine Heavens City, Chu Xingyun's first destination was the Black Market.
Ever since the black hole and Manifestation of All Things had been suppressed and unable to be used, Chu Xingyun didn't have a suitable weapon.
Although Chu Xingyun had Sky Slasher hanging at his waist, it was more for decorative purposes.
After all … Chu Xingyun's Sword Dao was all-inclusive of the heavy sword, while Sky Slasher was a standard three-foot-long sword.
Using Sky Slasher couldn't bring out Chu Xingyun's true Sword Dao. Only the heavy sword could.
But since ancient times, there were too few people who used heavy swords. If one wasn't extremely talented, it was impossible to use a heavy sword.
Few people used heavy swords, so naturally, there were even fewer heavy swords passed down. In the entire Northern Wilderness Region, Chu Xingyun couldn't find a suitable heavy sword.
The specialty of a heavy sword was its weight. If it wasn't heavy enough, then even if it was an Emperor weapon, it would be useless to Chu Xingyun. There wouldn't be much difference whether he had it or not.
However, just because there wasn't one in the Northern Wilderness Region didn't mean there wasn't one in the Qiankun World. Thus … Chu Xingyun wanted to try his luck and see if he could find a good sword in the Black Market.
But reality was cruel. After walking around the Black Market for more than a week, Chu Xingyun helplessly discovered that the Qiankun World was the same. There were people who used heavy swords, but there were very few of them.
Not only were there very few people who used heavy swords, there weren't any top experts who used heavy swords.
Only the tall and strong Demons liked to use heavy swords. But the Demons weren't good at refining weapons. The heavy swords they used were also very crude and no one sold them.
Helpless, Chu Xingyun was about to leave the Black Market when he heard a piece of news. Three days later … the Black Market's annual grand auction would officially begin.
After hearing this news, Chu Xingyun immediately decided to stay. Although he didn't know what would be at the auction, there was no doubt that all the businesses in the Black Market would take out their treasures and send them to the auction.
Only in such an occasion could those top-grade treasures be sold at the highest price.
After hearing the news, Chu Xingyun immediately rushed to the Black Market Auction House and paid the deposit in exchange for the right to participate in the auction. An auction of this scale wasn't something that could be entered just because one wanted to.
Arriving at the auction house's hall, Chu Xingyun handed over one hundred million spirit stones according to the rules. But he didn't expect that there would be an unforeseen event.
Looking at the spirit stones Chu Xingyun handed over, the pretty female clerk helplessly informed him that the auction house's deposit was indeed one hundred million, but the unit was grade one spirit stones.
Similar to the spirit stone slags Chu Xingyun took out, they had to be converted.
One grade one spirit stone required one hundred spirit stone slags.
Facing this result, Chu Xingyun was simply speechless. One had to know that … in the True Spirit Continent, these were all high grade spirit stones. How could they become spirit stone slags here?
But thinking about it carefully, this Universe World's spirit qi was so abundant, so spirit stone resources were bound to be abundant. In comparison, the True Spirit Continent was indeed a barren land.
Helpless, Chu Xingyun could only go to the Black Market's bank and exchange all the spirit stone slags for grade one spirit stones.
This time, Chu Xingyun had brought a total of thirty billion spirit stones. After the exchange, it became three hundred million grade one spirit stones.
For an auction where the deposit was one hundred million spirit stones, three hundred million spirit stones was probably not enough to buy anything good.
