Chapter 302: Chapter 297 Heading to Dragon Origin City (2)

"Ha ha..."

"This is fantastic!"

Xiao Fei laughed loudly: "Brother Yan, the meat of a Level 11 Demon Beast is truly extraordinary. I’ve already made a breakthrough."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng smiled.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao, on reaching the Peak of Tribulation Crossing!"

"Ha ha..."

Xiao Fei looked up and laughed.

"Brother Yan, I didn’t expect you to see through my cultivation. Now, I think it’s time to head to Dragon Origin City..."

Yan Rufeng shook his head and said calmly: "Brother Xiao, let’s finish this bottle of wine first, then we’ll talk about it."

"Alright, let’s drink this first!"

"Ha ha..."

Boisterous laughter echoed from the private room on the second floor.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knocking sound came.

With a gentle wave of Yan Rufeng’s hand, the door to the private room opened.

"Patriarch Li, you’ve arrived?"

Li Chenglin respectfully said: "Young Master Yan, the forces of the Cangmang Sword Sect have already been taken over by the Green Lotus Sect. All the branches of the Cangmang Trading House will also be integrated shortly. Is there any other instruction from Young Master Yan?"

Yan Rufeng smiled: "Patriarch Li, you’ve worked hard."

Li Chenglin cupped his hands: "It’s an honor to serve Young Master Yan, there’s no hardship in it."

Yan Rufeng gestured for Li Chenglin to sit down.

Li Chenglin didn’t sit but instead brought out a storage ring.

"Young Master Yan, here are all the assets of the Cangmang Sword Sect. Please check them."

Yan Rufeng spread his Divine Sense towards the storage ring, counting casually, then scattered the trillion top-grade spirit stones randomly onto a planet within the Purple Mansion...

"Patriarch Li, there’s something else I need your help with."

Li Chenglin, both honored and frightened, quickly said: "Young Master Yan, please speak directly, it’s no trouble at all!"

Yan Rufeng said indifferently: "Tomorrow, please announce to the entire city that Yingxian Tower will no longer be open to the public."

Li Chenglin paused, puzzled: "Young Master Yan, are you planning to leave Azure Dragon City?"

Yan Rufeng smiled calmly.

"I never intended to stay in Azure Dragon City for long. Once we finish this drink, we’ll leave!"

Li Chenglin bowed his head in thought.

Xiao Fei smiled: "Brother Yan, once we finish this glass, let’s set off..."

...

Li Chenglin didn’t know where Yan Rufeng was headed. He thought that Yan Rufeng was closing Yingxian Tower because he no longer had the resources to keep it open, given its immense daily consumption.

Yan Rufeng left Azure Dragon City with Xiao Fei and Xu Jiaojiao. Yingxian Tower never regained its former glory; its entrance became deserted and desolate.

Yan Rufeng knew that if Yingxian Tower continued operating, those hoping to enhance their power with its dishes would continue to plunder other Cultivation Planets for more spirit stones. That was an outcome Yan Rufeng didn’t want to see...

Dragon Origin City, located at the center of Dragon Origin Continent, was the foremost of the ten major cities on the continent.

The city boasted towering structures, resplendent under the sunlight. Floating spiritual energy, like veils, shrouded the hovering mountains. Clear streams trickled through the valleys, while clouds gathered densely in the sky. A flock of colorful birds soared past the clouds, chirping melodiously, as if one was in a fairyland.

Ten thousand miles northwest of Dragon Origin City, a Cosmic Battleship floated in the sky.

The hatch opened, and Yan Rufeng, who had hurried from Azure Dragon City, flew out.

Xiao Fei and Xu Jiaojiao followed closely. With a wave of Yan Rufeng’s hand, the Cosmic Battleship vanished.

"Brother Yan, ten thousand miles ahead is Dragon Origin City. Let’s enter the city together."

Yan Rufeng smiled: "Brother Xiao, there’s still some time before the competition you mentioned. Why the rush to enter the city?"

Xiao Fei said calmly: "Brother Yan, I see you don’t have a suitable weapon. Do you plan to face the competition unarmed?"

Yan Rufeng said lightly: "Why not?"

"Ha ha!"

Xiao Fei smiled and said: "Brother Yan, the winner of this competition will get not only billions of top-grade spirit stones but also a set of mid-grade Pseudo Immortal Artifacts. Imagine, participants in this competition are surely the elites of various families. They must possess several Pseudo Immortal Artifacts given by their elders. Do you think you can withstand their attacks with just your body, given you’re only at the Early Stage of Tribulation Crossing?"

"Ha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed: "Brother Xiao, are you suggesting I purchase some Pseudo Immortal Artifacts in the city?"

"Ha!"

"Buying them is impossible!"

Yan Rufeng smiled: "Are Pseudo Immortal Artifacts that scarce?"

Xiao Fei shook his head, looking helpless.

"Brother Yan, you know that regular people can’t craft Pseudo Immortal Artifacts, and the sects heavily control them. The number in circulation is very limited."

Yan Rufeng spread his hands.

"In that case, I see no point in competing for the first place!"

Xiao Fei said calmly: "Brother Yan, I know with your current overall strength, you may not need to compete. But don’t forget, even if you have an army, if your personal strength isn’t recognized, who in this cultivation world, where power speaks, would willingly follow and obey you?"

Xu Jiaojiao frowned and walked over, worried: "Brother Xiao, you know how strong Pseudo Immortal Artifacts are. If we can’t buy any, Brother Rufeng will be risking his life in the competition!"

Xiao Fei shook his head, helpless: "Every time there’s a competition, the Dragon Origin Trading House auctions a few Pseudo Immortal Artifacts. We can bid for some at a high price!"

Yan Rufeng smiled: "Brother Xiao, let’s not delay. Let’s head to Dragon Origin Trading House now..."

Dragon Origin Trading House, the foremost trading house on Dragon Origin Star, was backed by the Yuanfa Sect.

After the Heavenly Dao Sect disbanded, Yuanfa Sect rose to become the top sect on Dragon Origin Star.

This comprehensive competition among the various cities of Dragon Origin Continent was initiated by Yuanfa Sect to select top outsiders as disciples.

Dragon Origin City, ten times the size of Qingyun City, housed a permanent population of five billion. Merchants gathered here, sect members frequently came and went, and there were hundreds of city gates. A minor oversight could cause a jam at the gates, highlighting Dragon Origin City’s extraordinary bustle.

In Dragon Origin City, cultivators were forbidden from flying and using Instantaneous Movement. Here, horses were most favored. Even an ordinary horse cost a hundred top-grade spirit stones.

As soon as Yan Rufeng, Xiao Fei, and Xu Jiaojiao entered the city, they heard a call: "Purple Crystal Blooded Horse that can travel a thousand miles a day, cheap sale, only for one top-grade spirit stone..."

Xiao Fei went over to chat with the horse trader. After some bargaining, he bought three Purple Crystal Blooded Horses.

Leading the horses, Xiao Fei came to Yan Rufeng and smiled slightly.

"Brother Yan, Dragon Origin Trading House is still over a thousand kilometers away. Let’s ride these horses..."
