I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 518

Chapter 518: The prosperous city of immortals is not easy to live in

Canglan City is one of the most prosperous cities in the Lesser Cang Realm.

In its center, there’s a teleportation jade platform, connected to the teleportation array in Starry Sky City.

However, because the teleportation array consumes significant energy to activate, the platform typically only activates after a certain period of time.

One day, the platform suddenly emitted a bright light, visible throughout the city.

Seeing this light, many merchants in the city erupted in excitement.

“Are there foreign cultivators coming to Canglan City?”

“Hurry, get there immediately, and bring the customers to our shop!”

“Last time, Zhenweilou got there first, we can’t let them succeed this time!”

“Quick, get all the magic weapons out of the shop, a big client might be coming!”

“Those elixirs that are about to expire, take them out of the warehouse immediately, a distinguished guest is coming!”

…

Following the command, many people rushed to the teleportation jade platform.

After all, those foreign cultivators who can travel through the starry sky are

not only powerful but also often very wealthy, making them the most valuable customers!

“Is this the Xiaocang Realm?”

Lu Qing, perched on the Jade Teleportation Platform, was slightly stunned as he sensed the incredibly rich spiritual energy surrounding him. It

was simply because the spiritual energy in this Xiaocang Realm was simply too dense.

Although it was also a small world, the spiritual energy here was over ten times richer and purer than that of my home world!

“This way, even if I can’t enter the Tianyuan Great World for the time being, I still have hope of furthering my cultivation.”

Lu Qing was delighted.

As expected, the outside world was truly fascinating, full of surprises.

He had been wondering how to quickly enter the Tianyuan Great World.

Now, it seemed there was no need to rush.

Previously, Lu Qing had felt bad about the three mid-grade spirit stones, but now he felt they were a complete waste.

Not only did he gain access to the teleportation formation inheritance, but he could even cultivate in such a wonderful environment—it was absolutely worth it!

“Such a rich spiritual energy!”

Xiao Li and Wu Xing were equally astonished by the rich spiritual energy surrounding them.

The spiritual energy in this city was far richer than even the caves where they had cultivated in the Holy Mountain.

No wonder Ah Qing had been wanting to get out. Cultivating in such an environment would surely lead to rapid progress!

“Fellow Daoist, are you alright?”

Lu Qing and the other two were stunned by the surrounding spiritual energy, seemingly new to the world.

Everyone else had already stepped off the jade teleportation platform.

A middle-aged man, responsible for guarding the platform, saw Lu Qing frozen in place and, thinking he couldn’t withstand the pressure of the teleportation array, asked with concern.

“Oh, I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, senior.”

Lu Qing came to his senses and immediately thanked the middle-aged man.

The aura he exuded was that of a Jindan realm expert.

This made Lu Qing sigh inwardly.

He hadn’t even officially entered the Tianyuan Great World yet, yet the Jindan realm seemed worthless, easily encountered.

No wonder the demon cultivator said that when he was in the Yuanshen realm, he was only a mid-level cultivator in the Tianyuan Great World.

“Senior, would you like to stay at our hotel? The spiritual food at our Zhenwei Tower is truly exceptional. Not only are they incredibly delicious, but they also offer supreme nourishing properties.

They nourish the body and warm the soul, greatly benefiting cultivation!

The guest rooms are even equipped with a top-grade spirit-gathering array, making cultivation more efficient!”

“Senior, would you like to purchase a magical weapon? Our Xuanqifang refines each one of them with exquisite craftsmanship, and they’ll definitely satisfy you!”

“Fairy, this is the Changchun Pill from our Miaodan Pavilion. It promises eternal youth…”

Just as Lu Qing was about to walk down the jade platform,

he suddenly saw a group of people appear out of nowhere.

They were pulling the cultivators who had just teleported with him, offering their wares with forced smiles.

The inexplicable sense of déjà vu left him stunned once again.

If it weren’t for the fact that the lowest level of the people who had emerged was at the Qi Refining Realm, he would have truly thought he’d returned to his past life.

He turned to the middle-aged man and asked, “Senior, this is…”

The middle-aged man glanced down and said nonchalantly, “These are some of the merchants in this city. If you’re looking for a place to stay or to buy magical weapons or elixirs, you can go to them. Just be careful not to get scammed.”

Lu Qing’s heart sank.

The middle-aged man was talking about being careful not to get scammed, in other words, implying that these people were very likely to deceive customers.

“Judging from his expression, it’s obvious that he’s accustomed to these things.

It seems that things aren’t all peaceful in Canglan City,”

Lu Qing thought to himself.

However, his face didn’t show any sign of it, he simply bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man.

“Thank you for the warning, Senior,”

he said, and then he walked downstairs.

As for Xiao Li and Wu Xing, they had already shrunk, hiding within his clothes.

From the outside, they were completely invisible.

The middle-aged man stared at Lu Qing’s back for a moment, but ultimately remained silent. He quietly closed his eyes and continued his duties.

After stepping down from the jade platform, Lu Qing was naturally greeted warmly by the merchants.

However, he wasn’t completely broke, but at least he was financially strapped.

So, he could only politely decline each offer, pushing his way through the crowd and heading out.

Leaving the jade platform, Lu Qing planned to wander around the city for a while, getting to know the local world first.

Half an hour later,

after touring Canglan City, spending a few minutes on a magical instrument he had refined, and asking a Qi Refining cultivator on the street about some information,

he was faced with a dilemma.

“As expected of one of the most prosperous areas in the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, Spirit Stones are in demand everywhere,”

Lu Qing had just learned. The vast majority of Canglan City’s residents were cultivators, and

as a result, almost all transactions involved Spirit Stones.

Whether it was for accommodation, purchasing magical artifacts and elixirs, or even food and drink, Spirit Stones were the common currency.

Let alone other things, just for accommodation, Lu Qing went to an inn to ask.

A most ordinary room would cost one low-grade spirit stone for one day.

As for those high-end rooms, they would be ten times more expensive.

Just for one day, it would cost ten low-grade spirit stones.

“I never thought that in my hometown world, the low-grade spirit stones, which are regarded as strategic resources by many immortal cultivation sects and are extremely precious and dare not be used easily,

are just ordinary currency in Canglan City.

Eating an expensive meal would probably consume the entire resources of a sect.”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Originally, he wanted to find out about the conditions for entering the Tianyuan World.

Now it seems that these are secondary.

The most urgent thing is to find a way to earn some spirit stones quickly.

Otherwise, with the few spirit stones left in his hand.

In a few days, he and Xiaoli and the others will have to sleep on the streets and won’t even have food to eat.
