Chapter 943: Chapter 944 Exchange for Gold Coins

Chu You certainly knew that officials could enter player guilds; in his previous life, he had seen too many rebellious guilds wiped out by the ruling class using this tactic.

He also knew that when the relationship with the officials reached a freezing point and dangerous messages started appearing from the System, his own guild needed to be prepared.

It didn’t matter anymore!

Walking on the bustling streets, the jade thumb ring on Chu You’s thumb was emitting a faint light.

"Are we going to break with the Court?" Jin Chuiduo’s voice transmitted directly to his mind through the jade thumb ring, which was a secret communication.

Jin Chuiduo had recently emerged from seclusion, having cleansed her body of impurities and reached the peak of her combat power.

"More or less. How are things on your end?"

"The Court has already withdrawn. Just yesterday an Imperial Decree arrived, and I have just explicitly refused it. I guess our Eastern Fortress has completely broken with the Court," Jin Chuiduo said with an inexplicable tone.

"What did the Imperial Decree say?" Chu You furrowed his brows slightly. From the way Jin Chuiduo spoke, it seemed the Imperial Decree carried the weight of an ultimatum.

"The decree was to make me one of his concubines." Jin Chuiduo spoke in an eerily calm voice, without a trace of fluctuation.

Upon hearing this, Chu You’s eyes flickered.

"Duo Duo, be wary of a sudden assault from the Court; the teleportation array in the Eastern Fortress is the root of potential disaster."

"The teleportation array doesn’t connect to the Imperial Capital. I’ve already sent people to monitor other towns. Once something unusual is noticed, we will detect it immediately."

As Chu You walked, he shook his head slightly, "Duo Duo, listen to me. Within this royal soil, aside from those distant forgotten teleportation arrays, every teleportation array has an invisible thread!"

"Invisible thread?"

"Yes, this includes the guilds of the players as well as your Eastern Fortress. There’s an unseen passage connected to the Imperial City, and only they can teleport there; we cannot." As he reached this part, Chu You thought about the Jade Seal in his backpack space.

"What I mean is, as long as the teleportation array is active, they have a chance to teleport directly from within the Imperial City!"

"What do we do?" Jin Chuiduo immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

"We can only shut down the teleportation array completely!"

Upon hearing Chu You’s words, Jin Chuiduo fell silent. She was in her chamber at the moment, a chamber that was described as fragrant despite its plain and simple decor. Jin Chuiduo was wearing a black Taoist robe and sitting on a cushion. Behind her, on the wall, was a peculiar symbol, the mark of the Chantian Taoism Doctrine Dynasty, one of the Nine Great Taoism Doctrine, radiating an enigmatic and mysterious aura.

Jin Chuiduo had come from that very doctrine.

At this moment, Chu You arrived in front of a building exuding mystery. Such colorfully designed buildings were common in the Central City of Huaxia.

Therefore, the Divine City was shrouded in mystery, constantly piquing the curiosity of players everywhere.

Looking at the building, Lord Chancellor’s gaze flashed with nostalgia and intrigue as he stepped up the stairs towards it.

He stopped at the entrance because, from the outside looking in, the open doorway revealed only pitch darkness, clearly shielded by a spell of illusion. To enter the building, one would have to pay a fee in Gold Coins.

As Chu You reached out, just when his fingertip was about to cross the threshold, ripples like those of water spread out and halted his progress. His fingertips were blocked, but a System prompt appeared.

System: Entry to the Dragon Pavilion requires a payment of 100 Gold Coins. Would you like to enter?

After confirming, the corresponding amount of Gold Coins was automatically deducted from his backpack.

Then Chu You stepped over the threshold, as if passing through a curtain of water, though his clothes remained completely dry.

Inside was a different world altogether. A young girl in exotic attire approached him; her outfit was adorned with dragon patterns, which could confuse someone into thinking she was a princess.

In fact, Chu You knew this was an official organization of the Central City of Huaxia, and they were loyal and worshipped only the Main God of Huaxia, namely the Dragon God.

The girl came up to him and bowed slightly, "Esteemed guest, may I inquire what services you require?"

Chu You took out an awakened Dragon Crystal Stone and gently swayed it in front of the girl.

"I want to sell this item."

It was evident that the girl’s eyes lit up upon seeing it, and when she looked at Chu You again, her gaze held even greater respect.

"Very well, please follow me."

Under the girl’s guidance, Chu You was led to a bright and magnificent room, decorated with dragon patterns throughout, where he met another figure dressed in dragon-adorned garments, this time an elder.

The girl, clearly using a silent transmission spell, informed the elder of Chu You’s intentions, and during this process, a mysterious expression crossed Chu You’s face as he knew how the girl had communicated with the elder.

Throughout this period, no voice from Jin Chuiduo was transmitted through the Jade Thumb Ring.

Soon, a sharp and keen light flashed in the elder’s cloudy eyes.

"I heard the honored guest has Dragon Crystal Stones. Take them out and let this old man have a look," he said.

Thus, Chu You took out an awakened Dragon God Arrogance Dragon Crystal Stone, an active Dragon God Sigh Dragon Crystal Stone, an active Dragon God Metamorphosis Dragon Crystal Stone, and one Drakon’s Spirit Stone—four Dragon Crystal Stones in total, each emitting a strange and dazzling light of various colors.

"I want to know how much each Dragon Crystal Stone is worth."

The elder didn’t need to take a closer look, just by gazing at them, recognition dawned in his eyes.

"The honored guest can put them away," said the elder while stroking his beard, resembling an enlightened sage.

"Please have a seat, honored guest."

"No need."

"Hehe, it seems you are in dire need of money."

"Not money, I need time."

"Very well," nodded the elder, and then he began to quote the prices.

"A Dragon Crystal Stone with the aura of Killing Original Qi is worth 50,000 Gold Coins! (Drakon’s Spirit Stone)"

"A Dragon Crystal Stone with the aura of Death Original Qi is worth 100,000 Gold Coins! (Dragon God Sigh Dragon Crystal Stone)"

"A Dragon Crystal Stone with the aura of Life Original Qi is worth 120,000 Gold Coins! (Dragon God Metamorphosis Dragon Crystal Stone)"

"A Dragon Crystal Stone with the aura of Creation Original Qi is worth 190,000 Gold Coins! (Dragon God Arrogance Dragon Crystal Stone)"

After the elder finished speaking, Chu You slightly lowered his head in silence.

Then, looking up at the elder, he said in a grave voice, "I want to sell 800 Dragon of Creation Crystal Stones!"

Chu You had a total of 1,800 Dragon Crystal Stones on him, of which 1,000 were awakened Dragon God Arrogance Dragon Crystal Stones, which possessed the attribute of creation. What Chu You intended to do now was to set aside 800 of the 1,000 Dragon of Creation Crystal Stones for sale.

Aside from the 800 stones, the remaining 1,000 Dragon Crystal Stones were to be given to the Muses.

"800 stones? You have that many? How did you come to possess so many?" the elder exclaimed, visibly shocked.

"I’ve been to the Dragon Tomb."

"The Dragon Tomb? That you could obtain so many in just one visit is beyond belief."

"Yes."

"Hahaha, very well, I will take all 800 of your Dragon of Creation Crystal Stones!"

Thus, Chu You obtained 152 million Gold Coins. He had previously possessed 440 million Gold Coins; adding the 150 million from this transaction totaled 590 million. However, the display in the space of his inventory’s Gold Coins column showed: 600 million.
