"What? You have to go to the Constellation Heaven Monarch's residence to rent a spiritual academy?" Ling Dong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
It wasn't that Ling Dong was making a fuss over nothing. The main thing was that Ling Dong had already treated his visit to the Constellation Heaven Monarch's residence two years later as a life and death calamity. Therefore, when he heard that Yang Cheng wanted to go to the Constellation Heaven Monarch's residence, Ling Dong was greatly shocked.
Seeing Ling Dong's shocked expression, Yang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Senior Brother Ling, can you listen to me? I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Senior Brother Ling, I said that you have to go to the Constellation Heaven Monarch's residence's Heavenly Monarch Courtyard to rent a spiritual academy."
"Heavenly Monarch Courtyard? Yang Cheng, tell me the details of this matter. "Ling Dong's heart moved and he hurriedly asked.
"Heavenly Monarch Courtyard? There's nothing much to say. Within the Wood Puppet Realm's four great martial artists, there's a Heavenly Monarch Courtyard. It's mainly used to manage the four great martial cities.
Of course, its main purpose is to collect Reiki. It's said that sometimes, the high and mighty Constellation Heaven Monarch would also come to the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard to stay for a few days. Regardless of whether it's true or not, the Heavenly Monarch Guardians in the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard are all valiant. The Heavenly Monarch Guardians are the only special group of people that cannot be offended in the four great martial cities! "Yang Cheng said.
Hearing this, Ling Dong raised his eyebrows and revealed a trace of joy. Ling Dong suddenly realized that this Heavenly Monarch Courtyard might be the best way to understand the Constellation Heaven Monarch's residence.
"So, this Heavenly Monarch Courtyard is an organization sent by the Constellation Heaven Monarch's residence to manage the four great martial cities. Those who can come here should be the Constellation Heaven Monarch's trusted aides, right?" Ling Dong asked.
Yang Cheng nodded affirmatively. "Of course. The Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard are all hardcore supporters of the Constellation Heaven Monarch.
Senior Brother, think about it. In this Clear Ancient City, every martial artist receives the Reiki of the Clear Ancient Talisman. Tsk tsk, there are at least a million martial artists who live in this Clear Ancient City. I'm afraid that the number of martial artists who come and go in a year will multiply several times. Just from this aspect alone, the income of the Reiki is really an astronomical figure!
Moreover, the income from the Ancient Qing Talisman was only the smallest portion of the income of the four Martial Cities. The tax levied on the 100,000 shops in Qinggu City was the real deal. I'm afraid that Lord Constellation Heaven Lord's daily income is equivalent to our entire lifetime's income … "Yang Cheng sighed as he spoke.
Hearing Yang Cheng's words, Ling Dong made some calculations and was shocked. According to this calculation, the amount of Reiki that the Clear Ancient City gave to the Constellation Heaven Monarch was an astronomical figure.
"If I can become the Constellation Heaven Monarch of a certain world one day, then the cultivation resources …" When this thought appeared in Ling Dong's mind, he was also shocked.
After a slight pause, he immediately mocked himself. "This road needs to be walked step by step!"
"That's right. Junior Brother Yang, where is the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard? Let's go rent a spiritual courtyard and have a place to stay!" Ling Dong said.
Yang Cheng didn't point the way. He just pointed at Ling Dong and said, "Senior Brother Ling, look up. The tallest building in the entire Clear Ancient City is the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard. It is said that when the Constellation Heaven Monarch arrives at the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard, the top of the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard will leave the ground and shine in the sky like a star! "
Ling Dong looked in the direction of Yang Cheng's mouth. Sure enough, in the center of Clear Ancient City, there was a building that rose from the ground. It was like a crane in a flock of chickens. It was nearly half the height of the surrounding buildings.
"Let's go!" With a thought, Ling Dong's body surged with Azure Aura, and his whole body flew into the air. The moment Ling Dong flew, the Clear Ancient Talisman hanging on his waist flashed slightly. This was the effect of the expensive Clear Ancient Talisman.
"Junior Brother Yang, there shouldn't be any other requirements for renting a spiritual courtyard, right?" Ling Dong asked.
"Of course not. As long as you have enough Reiki and an empty spiritual courtyard, the number of spiritual courtyards is limited. Although the rent is very high, it is still in high demand." Yang Cheng said.
"We're here!" As they spoke, Ling Dong and Yang Cheng arrived in front of the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard, the administrative organization of Clear Ancient City.
The Heavenly Monarch Courtyard was built very exquisitely. There was a faint majestic array fluctuation in the surroundings, but there was an independent array protecting this place. At the entrance, there were two rows of four majestic martial artists wearing black armor.
"Senior Brother Ling, these are the Heavenly Monarch Guards of the Constellation Heaven Monarch. It is said that the weakest among them is at the Sixth Stage of the Star Transformation Realm. However, you don't need to be too careful with the Heavenly Monarch Guards wearing armor that is more decorative than practical.
However, all of the Heavenly Monarch Guards wearing casual clothes and carrying the Constellation Heaven Monarch Residence's Heavenly Monarch Guard Talisman must be treated with care. You must not offend them. Every one of the Heavenly Monarch Guards has gone through many rounds of selection. They are not the most trusted people of the Constellation Heaven Monarch, but they are trusted by the various commanders under the Constellation Heaven Monarch! "
As they entered the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard, Yang Cheng explained to Ling Dong in a low voice.
In response to Yang Cheng's instructions, Ling Dong nodded his head heavily.
Ling Dong understood Yang Cheng's worries. The Constellation Heaven Monarch Residence was actually equivalent to the Empires and Dynasties of the Heavenly Dipper Continent. However, the Constellation Heaven Monarch Residence was dozens of times stronger than the Empires and Dynasties in terms of strength, control, and deterrence!
"Why have the two of you come to the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard? To pay taxes? To purchase? To pay tribute or to rent the courtyard? " As soon as Ling Dong and Yang Cheng entered the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard, a middle-aged big-eared martial artist with a kind face came up to them and asked in a very formal manner.
"My Lord, we are here to rent a Spiritual Courtyard!" Without waiting for Ling Dong to speak, Yang Cheng respectfully cupped his hands and hurriedly stated his purpose for coming.
The middle-aged big-eared martial artist was not in a hurry to speak. After seeing Ling Dong cupping his hands, he slowly said, "The concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in a First Grade Spiritual Courtyard is six times that of the outside world. The annual rent is 50,000 Mid-Grade Reiki. Currently, there is only one room left. The concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in a Second Grade Spiritual Courtyard is five times that of the outside world. The annual rent is 10,000 Mid-Grade Reiki. Currently, there is only one room left.
The concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in a Third Grade Spiritual Courtyard is four times that of the outside world. The annual rent is 5,000 Mid-Grade Reiki. Currently, there are only two rooms left. The concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in a Fourth Grade Spiritual Courtyard is three times that of the outside world. The annual rent is 1,000 Mid-Grade Reiki. Currently, there are only … "
Speaking up to here, the middle-aged big-eared martial artist frowned, as if he was somewhat confused about the specific amount. After a pause, Ling Dong asked Yang Cheng, "Are you guys going to rent a Fourth Grade Spiritual Courtyard?"
"Yes, my Lord!" Ling Dong and Yang Cheng nodded in response. It wasn't strange for the middle-aged big-eared martial artist to be able to guess it. After all, the majority of the martial artists that came here rented Fourth Grade Spiritual Courtyards.
"Oh, wait a moment. Let me check the records of the Fourth Grade Spiritual Courtyards to see if there are any left." After finishing his words, the middle-aged big-eared martial artist turned around and walked towards a desk, where he flipped through a pile of jade talismans.
In the Wood Puppet World, the most convenient method for Star Transformation Realm martial artists to record information was the jade talisman. With a single thought, an information jade talisman could be written. Therefore, most of the information was recorded in the jade talisman.
Flipping through the jade talismans required time. Ling Dong looked around the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard to see if he could find anything useful. He also looked around to see if he could find a suitable person to befriend in the Heavenly Monarch Courtyard. If he could form a good relationship with them, he might be able to obtain some benefits.
Ling Dong's current actions were all based on the Life and Death Calamity that would happen two years later.
As his gaze swept through the surroundings, Ling Dong's gaze suddenly paused and landed on a martial artist with a tall figure. At this moment, that martial artist was talking to another person. However, that silhouette gave Ling Dong a feeling of deja vu.
What made Ling Dong even more surprised was that there was an exquisite talisman hanging on the waist of that martial artist. He was the Heavenly Monarch's Imperial Guard that Yang Cheng had mentioned.
This made Ling Dong even more baffled. That martial artist that looked familiar to him was actually the Imperial Guard of the Constellation Heaven Monarch's Residence. Who could it be?
However, Ling Dong didn't dare to ask rashly. He only slowly walked around and changed his angle. He wanted to see who this person that looked familiar was.
However, before Ling Dong could change his angle, that martial artist that looked familiar to Ling Dong suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Dong.
When Ling Dong saw the appearance of this person clearly, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He almost cried out the other party's name. Fortunately, Ling Dong's mental fortitude was astonishing. Even if he was surprised, his face didn't show anything.
As for that person that looked familiar to Ling Dong, his gaze paused on Ling Dong's face for a moment. Then, he turned to the middle-aged martial artist that was helping Ling Dong with the matters of renting the Spiritual Academy and said, "Li Shan, quickly settle the matters at hand. After that, we will make a trip out!"
"Oh, okay!" The martial artist that was called Li Shan replied. However, he waved his hand at Yang Cheng and Ling Dong and said, "Come here!"
However, Ling Dong, who was shocked by the identity of this familiar person, didn't see that person waving his hand.
"Meng Quanguang? Why is he here? And he's even the personal guard of the Constellation Heaven Monarch's Manor?" This person that looked familiar to Ling Dong was actually the Patriarch of the Hidden World Star Palace, Meng Quanguang, whose sect had been destroyed by Ling Dong's scheme in the Heavenly Dipper Continent. Such as
However, when Meng Quanguang saw Ling Dong, his gaze only swept across Ling Dong's face a few times. Then, he turned his gaze away with some doubt. He also felt that Ling Dong looked familiar. However, he couldn't recognize that it was Ling Dong.
This was because Ling Dong knew that the Dongluo Sect had been searching for him with a portrait of Ling Dong. Therefore, Ling Dong's changed appearance had been maintained for more than a year. This was also the reason why Meng Quanguang couldn't recognize Ling Dong in an instant!
Ling Dong had a bad premonition when he saw that Meng Quanguang was actually the personal guard of a Heaven Monarch.
Just as Ling Dong was feeling puzzled, Yang Cheng, who saw that Ling Dong hadn't come over, called out to Ling Dong, "Senior Brother Ling, come over quickly!"
Not only did this call call Ling Dong over, but it also attracted Meng Quanguang's attention. The surname "Ling" could be said to be unforgettable to Meng Quanguang.
Meng Quanguang's gaze was like lightning as he stared fixedly at Ling Dong's familiar face. His expression suddenly became extremely ferocious. When Meng Quanguang's gaze landed on the ancient token at Ling Dong's waist, Meng Quanguang's eyes immediately turned red!
When enemies met, their eyes would be exceptionally red!
"Ling Dong, it's actually you!" As he shouted these words, Meng Quanguang gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds!
