Stellar Transformation-Chapter 502: Episode 15 - 11 Xuanjin Mountain Cultivator
Liu Qiyan managed to stay calm and did not lose his temper. After collecting the taxes, he visited Zi Yun’s home. Later, he left Fu Jue Village with his subordinates and returned to Black Dragon Pond.
What exactly Liu Qiyan discussed at Zi Yun’s home, Qin Yu did not know. However, Qin Yu knew... in the end, Zi Yun’s family agreed to the marriage between Xing Yuan and Zi Yun. Three days after the tax collection, Zi Yun’s parents, Zi Yun, and Xing Yuan invited Qin Yu and his two brothers to head to Wei Chi City together.
******
Taxes had to be paid once every thousand years, but what was the benefit? Qin Yu had always found it hard to understand, but now he understood... at least there was a well-maintained official road. There were also troops stationed along the way to ensure that there were no robbers to worry about during the journey.
"Young Brother Qin Yu, I’ve traveled this road countless times in my life, but this time I am the happiest. Haha..." Zi Yun’s father, Zi Futi, chuckled.
At that moment, Xing Yuan spoke with slight respect, "Father, how long will it take us to reach Wei Chi City?"
Upon hearing this, the three brothers of Qin Yu laughed.
"My, calling him father already even before getting married, well done," Hou Fei joked as he clapped Xing Yuan on the shoulder. Zi Futi, still chuckling, said, "Fu Jue Village is too far from Wei Chi City, it’s probably still two days’ journey away."
As the group advanced, Zi Yun was chatting with her mother and did not talk much with Xing Yuan.
After two days, Qin Yu and the group finally saw Wei Chi City from afar. Viewing Wei Chi City, they felt as though they were looking at a gigantic fierce beast coiled up there, its ancient aura completely calmed Qin Yu’s heart.
"Uncle Zi, do you know how old Wei Chi City is?" Qin Yu suddenly asked out of curiosity.
Zi Futi smiled and said, "Need one say? The history of Wei Chi City is as long as that of the Divine World, nearly one hundred and twenty billion years."
"That is indeed very long," Qin Yu exclaimed.
"The major cities of the Divine World have existed since ancient times and have never been destroyed. Moreover, the Divine Spirit in the cities is calm and mild, easily absorbed and refined. As for why these cities are so unique, that secret remains unknown to this day," Zi Futi mused.
Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and others all nodded.
Yet Qin Yu thought differently, "This secret is probably not unknown, but rather, those who know have not spread it."
"Father, could you tell us some things about the Divine World? We know too little about it," Xingtian said humbly.
Qin Yu and the others also looked at Zi Futi.
"Hehe, I am but an ordinary person from the Divine World, what much could I know? I only know a bit about the Eastern Divine Realm," Zi Futi began slowly, "The Divine World has Eight Great Saint Emperors, and the East Pole Saint Emperor’s domain is in the Eastern part of the Divine World, and he resides on Xuanjin Mountain."
"Xuanjin Mountain?" Qin Yu and the others were surprised.
They did not know this at all.
"You also know that the space of the Divine World is special, flying in the Divine World is a luxury. Unless one reaches the Heavenly God stage. Floating lifeless objects off the ground is unthinkable. Yet, Xuanjin Mountain is a floating mountain!" Zi Futi declared solemnly.
A floating mountain, Xuanjin Mountain? The residence of the East Pole Saint Emperor?
Qin Yu secretly noted in his heart.
"Under the East Pole Saint Emperor, there are sixty-four cities, all of similar size, and the core of the entire Eastern Divine Realm is ’Xuanjin Mountain.’ Of course, we ordinary people can’t possibly reach Xuanjin Mountain."
Zi Futi said with a chuckle, "After talking about Xuanjin Mountain, let’s talk about Wei Chi City. ’Wei Chi City’ wasn’t always called ’Wei Chi City.’ It is now called ’Wei Chi City’ because its City Lord is Lord Wei Chi. The number one family in Wei Chi City is also the Wei Chi Family! The City Lord of Wei Chi is also the top expert within the entire domain of Wei Chi City!"
"The top expert? How powerful is he?" Qin Yu asked.
"Brother Qin Yu, the City Lord of Wei Chi is very powerful. Even Lord Black Dragon from Black Dragon Pond is far from being his match," Zi Yun also came over and said with a smile.
Qin Yu nodded slightly to Zi Yun, "Zi Yun, do you know what level of expert Lord Wei Chi is?"
"It seems, it seems like he’s an Upper Heavenly God." Zi Yun said uncertainly, then nodded affirmatively, "But the City Lord’s power is very strong, no one within the entire range of Wei Chi City can match him."
Zi Futi said with a light smile, "The leader of Black Dragon Pond—Lord Black Dragon, although also formidable, is different. The City Lord of Wei Chi followed the East Pole Saint Emperor in campaigns to the south and north, making great contributions. Finally, the East Pole Saint Emperor bestowed this city to the City Lord of Wei Chi."
"Campaigns to the south and north? There are large-scale battles in the Divine Realm?" Qin Yu was slightly surprised.
"Of course," Zi Futi said with a laugh, "anyone who has lived in the Divine Realm for billions of years almost knows that every sixty billion years, all the major forces in the Divine Realm will battle and slaughter each other. The slaughter is horrific..."
Zi Futi sighed.
A war that spans the Divine Realm every sixty billion years?
"The City Lord of Wei Chi is a big figure who dominates the Divine Realm, with many Heavenly Gods who have died under him. He is not someone comparable to the likes of the Black Dragon from Black Dragon Pond." Zi Futi sighed again.
In Zi Futi’s heart, the leader of Black Dragon Pond simply couldn’t compare with the City Lord of Wei Chi City.
"Let’s go, enter the city."
At that moment, Qin Yu and his party had already reached the city gate. The soldiers at the gate checked everyone’s Identity Tokens and collected the entry fees before letting Qin Yu and the others enter the city.
******
Inside Wei Chi City, Qin Yu and his companions clearly felt the tranquil and gentle Divine Spirit. Absorbing and refining it was incredibly easy. In Wei Chi City, Qin Yu and his companions directly headed to the City Lord’s Mansion, the housing office.
All the houses within Wei Chi City were controlled by the City Lord’s Mansion, so naturally, buying a house meant going to the same place.
This was Qin Yu’s first visit to Wei Chi City, and observing its various buildings, Qin Yu had to admit that the overall layout of Wei Chi City was really well-done, neat and orderly.
Auction houses, herbal stores, weapon stores, leisure teahouses, stone carving stores, all kinds of shops appeared in view, and Qin Yu discovered that there were surprisingly many places for leisure and enjoyment in the Divine Realm.
"Make way!"
With a loud shout, a team of at least hundreds of people ran down the street in an orderly fashion, with a man in golden standard Battle Armor flying overhead with his hands behind his back.
"It’s a Heavenly God." Zi Yun pointed excitedly at the man in the sky.
Qin Yu and the others also looked up.
"That person might be one of the division commanders or the corps commanders of the Wei Chi City army," Zi Futi said to Qin Yu and the others.
"Inside Wei Chi City, ten people make a small team, a hundred make a medium team, a thousand make a large team. Ten thousand people make a division, and a hundred thousand people make a corps. To become a corps commander, the primary requirement is to reach the Heavenly God Realm. However, there’s no such requirement for a division commander, but among the division commanders of Wei Chi City, many are Heavenly God experts."
Zi Futi had lived for several billion years and clearly knew much more.
"The housing office is just ahead; let’s go buy a house," Qin Yu said aloud.
The group then entered the City Lord’s Mansion housing office, which was a very spacious two-story building. When Qin Yu and his group entered, there were still quite a few people inside.
The entire housing office had only one staff member, a woman in yellow clothes.
"There are the Jade Scrolls, which contain all the information on vacant houses. Just look for yourself, and tell me which one you like," the woman in yellow said indifferently without giving Qin Yu and his group a single glance.
"Big Brother, this woman’s attitude is really bad," Hou Fei transmitted to Qin Yu through divine sense.
Qin Yu nodded with a smile, "Can’t help it, all the houses in Wei Chi City are owned by the City Lord of Wei Chi, and if someone’s attitude is bad, there’s nothing you can do but endure it."
Qin Yu thought of something.
Like the top Artifact Refining expert, Artisan God Che Hou Yuan, even though he was arrogant towards all major forces, they still had to put up with him. Isn’t it the same principle?
While Qin Yu and his brothers were chatting casually, Xing Yuan, Zi Yun, and others took the Jade Scrolls to check the existing vacant houses.
After a lively discussion, Xing Yuan, Zi Yun, and the others finally made a decision. Xing Yuan approached the woman in yellow with a smile and said, "We have made our choice; it’s house number 8793043 in the Northern District of Wei Chi City."
"Only thirteen houses are left in the Northern District, and this one is the best among them. You really have a good eye," the woman in yellow said with a slight smile. "Please pay the fee; it totals 2.28 million Low Grade Divine Spiritual Stones."
Xing Yuan and Zi Yun looked at each other and smiled, then took out 228 Upper Grade Divine Spiritual Stones.
The woman in yellow accepted the 228 Upper Grade Divine Spiritual Stones, nodded her head, and then took out a hexagonal key and a Jade Scroll. But just at that moment—
"Little Yan." With that call, a man clad in Golden Armor walked in.
"It’s the Heavenly God from earlier," Hou Fei transmitted to Qin Yu, and Qin Yu nodded, as he clearly remembered the Heavenly God he had seen earlier. However, Qin Yu noticed another person.
No sooner had the man in Golden Armor walked in than a young man in white followed.
"That young man is a master, a Heavenly God Level master," Qin Yu sensed very clearly from the aura of the young man in white.
After entering, the young man in white went over to pick up a Jade Scroll to check the situation of the houses in Wei Chi City. Meanwhile, the man in Golden Armor approached the woman in yellow.
"Ah, Liu Jun Commander, what can I do for you?" The woman in yellow’s smile became radiant, completely ignoring Xing Yuan and Zi Yun.
The Liu Jun Commander nodded and said, "I remember there’s a house next to ’Sky Carving Pavilion’ in the Northern District, right? I’ll take that house; make a note of it."
"Yes, Commander Liu," the woman in yellow immediately said.
Zi Yun whispered to Xing Yuan, "Brother Xing Yuan, among the thirteen houses in the Northern District, only ours is next to the ’Sky Carving Pavilion,’ right?"
Xing Yuan also snapped to his senses and hurriedly said to the woman in yellow, "Miss, we have already bought that house, and we have already given you 228 blocks of Upper Grade Divine Spirit Stones."
"Hmm?" The man in the golden armor frowned slightly, "Little Yan, what’s going on?"
The woman known as ’Little Yan’ in yellow smiled and said, "It’s nothing." She then looked towards Xing Yuan, "This house has been claimed by Commander, and currently I have no record of it, nor have I given you the keys, so the house isn’t yet yours." She then placed the 228 Upper Grade Divine Spirit Stones on the table. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"You should take these Divine Spirit Stones back for now and choose another house," the woman in yellow said bluntly.
Zi Yun and Xing Yuan looked at each other, then at the Heavenly God with them, feeling irritated, but what could they do? Compete with a Heavenly God for a house?
"Such a Heavenly God!" Qin Yu frowned but did not intervene, as his gaze suddenly shifted towards a young man in white who had been focusing on a jade scroll.
"The Northern District? I’ll take all thirteen vacant houses in the Northern District," the young man in white said, lifting his head with a smile.
Silence!
Not just Xing Yuan and Zi Yun, but also the woman in yellow, Commander Liu, and others viewing the property turned their gaze to the young man in white, the Qin brothers also looked on with interest.
"You are..." Commander Liu frowned as he looked at the young man in white, only now noticing such a powerful figure behind him.
The young man in white smiled slightly and took out a golden token, "I am ’Huang Jing,’ Captain of the cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain. I’ve come to Wei Chi City with my subordinates and might stay for quite some time. These thirteen houses will suffice for now."
"Cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain!"
Commander Liu’s expression changed drastically, as did the woman’s in yellow.
"A Captain from Xuanjin Mountain?" Commander Liu felt a pressure in his chest and quickly squeezed out a respectful smile, "So it turns out to be Senior Huang Jing. The City Lord had already ordered me to host you; I didn’t expect you to arrive so early. I’ve already arranged something near the City Lord’s Mansion..."
"No need, just the thirteen houses in the Northern District. Just mention it to Uncle Wei Chi. Is there a problem?" the young man known as ’Huang Jing’ looked at Commander Liu.
"No problem!" Commander Liu said promptly.
"Uncle Zi, how powerful is this Huang Jing? Is the position of a captain of the cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain highly esteemed?" Qin Yu transmitted his Divine Sense to Zi Futi.
Zi Futi was looking at Huang Jing with fervor and responded through Divine Sense, "Within the bounds of the Eastern Divine Realm, more than half of the Heavenly Gods are on Xuanjin Mountain, nearly ten thousand people. The cultivators on Xuanjin Mountain, even the lowest are Lower Heavenly Gods. The cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain inherently hold special privileges, and this Huang Jing is actually the Captain there."
Qin Yu couldn’t help but look at the gentle young man in white, unsure just how powerful he really was.
