Secret Buyer-Chapter 358 - 270: Divine Path Realms, World Plateau (6k2 Combined)_3
’Zhang Fusheng was here’.
Is it related to this?
Zhang Fusheng’s thoughts were swirling, but he wasn’t too concerned—after all, Shen Baobao was involved,
if there is any research result, he can ask about it next time they meet in High Heaven.
The most important thing right now is to find Chongyang Heaven and Earth, enter it, and transform it into [High Heaven City].
At the same time, he must seize the so-called opportunities in Chang’an Town—all while keeping in mind the matter of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron.
Time continued to pass, and the people from the research institute were the first to leave via the ’Celestial Gate’,
groups of people continued to depart, and after waiting two more days, it was finally Zhang Fusheng’s turn.
"Godfather, let’s go."
Ruan Yutu, veiled, spoke gently:
"It’s our turn now."
She led the cow, the cow carried the old man, and they walked step by step towards the celestial gate passage, illuminated by a brilliant light.
Thus, the two and the cow disappeared from Hangu City without causing a stir.
Until now.
Three divine spirits watching from the bamboo forest slowly withdrew their gaze.
"Such an era of fierce competition..."
Su Qiansuan sighed.
......
World Plateau.
Jin City, one of the forty-nine cities on the plateau.
This place should have been called Golden City, corresponding to the Golden Province—but the provincial capital is coincidentally named Golden City,
so it was named Jin City.
It’s currently morning, but no sunlight is visible; the World Plateau is shrouded year-round in a mysterious mist of unknown origin,
this mist corrodes divine thought, blocks vision, and obstructs the light of the sun and moon.
"Did you hear? Recently, Old Wang and his team hunted another Level 1 Star Beast, tsk tsk, that’s another big fortune..."
In a small tavern on the city outskirts, someone sitting at the door drinking beer loudly discussed:
"Traces of an iron-horned giant rhino were found in the north; it should have just fallen from the starry sky. I’m planning to organize a team to hunt it!"
After a pause, the person downed the beer, burped, and the neon lights in the city appeared somewhat faint in the gray mist, 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
he turned his head and called out:
"Fourth girl, is your dad and his team going? Hunting an iron-horned giant rhino could be quite profitable!"
The girl referred to as Fourth girl waved her hand dismissively:
"Not going! Not going!"
She said with a bright smile:
"My old man plans to head west; it’s quite lively there recently."
Fourth girl counted on her fingers:
"There’s a mysterious Buddhist Temple established out of nowhere; they say the incense and wishes there are very accurate... And there are rumors that a little heaven fell there last month!"
The man poured himself a full cup of beer, sat leisurely, and laughed:
"Buddhist Temple? Are you going to offer incense? They’re cracking down hard on cultists lately; that might be a Federation’s trap, and they might catch you all!"
Fourth girl pouted and flicked her ponytail:
"Just dropping by to take a look, but the main reason is that little heaven... My old man said there might be big business opportunities there!"
The man laughed:
"What big business opportunity could be ours? Open a trade route? If you ask me, the biggest business opportunity is to hunt some Level 1 Star Beasts honestly!"
As the two continued their conversation,
heavy ’footsteps’ occurred in the gray mist.
Everyone sitting outside the tavern raised their eyes to look,
in the mist, a figure appeared, slowly approaching, gradually becoming clearer.
"Whoa!" Someone exclaimed: "What a robust cow!"
Out of the mist came a Red Bull, with an old man riding backward on its back, leading the cow was a veiled young girl with a graceful figure.
Someone sized up this strange combination and called out:
"Judging by the clothing, are you from below?"
’Below’ refers to the forty-nine provinces, specially the Golden Province in this context.
After all, Jin City is the terminus of the passage from Golden Province to the World Plateau,
the entire city was established to serve the passage purpose.
The old man on the cow’s back nodded repeatedly, seemingly dozing off without responding,
the veiled girl crisply replied:
"Yes, we just came from Hangu City."
Many people in front of the tavern’s eyes flickered with interest; the celestial gate opened three days ago, and the order of passage was based on social status,
arriving at Jin City on the third day?
Such status may not be too low, but it definitely isn’t high...
A burly man stood up, his body adorned with some strange twisted tattoos, his eyes shimmering with inexplicable light:
"Is this your first time in Jin City?"
"I’ve been here before; it’s my godfather’s first time." The veiled girl casually answered.
"Really?"
The burly man’s face broke into a smile:
"Jin City is quite chaotic, and they’ve recently added new regulations. Newcomers must register their identity to get an identity card before they can freely move around..."
"The place to register identity isn’t far from here, I was just about to go there, would you like to come along?"
Ruan Yutu furrowed her brow, not having had the chance to speak when suddenly a rough voice rang out:
"You two, this isn’t a place for ordinary people; better to go to the city center, where there’s no mist and fewer shady characters."
Speaking was a shirtless man, carrying a coffin over one person tall, slowly emerging from the mist.
"Dad!" Fourth girl called out.
The burly man with twisted tattoos sank his expression, his tone grew somewhat hostile:
"Third Lian, what do you mean?"
The coffin-carrying man replied indifferently:
"Nothing—in Jin City, when did it become necessary to register identity? Who doesn’t understand what’s on your mind? What, are you picking a fight with me?"
