FVN Chapter 307 Immortal City
Chapter 307 Immortal City
"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives. Hongyu is endlessly grateful,"
Witnessing Alkaid annihilate the Great Demon that had nearly wiped out their entire group with decisive might, the disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect were not only shocked but also deeply relieved. Ye Hongyu, leading them, was the first to react.
She swiftly stepped forward, taking out a Storage Treasure: "This is what Hongyu obtained during her training outside. Please accept this as a small token of gratitude."
Alkaid withdrew his focus from the "Rejuvenating Youth" branch of Demon Hunting and glanced at this Direct Disciple of the Penglai Immortal Sect.
This disciple...
Was indeed quite sensible.
She took the initiative to hand over her belongings.
However, since Alkaid planned to go to Biyou Fairy City under the Penglai Immortal Sect to trade, and considering the distance from the Penglai Immortal Sect was not too close, he didn't intend to accept it.
Of course, even for a Blazing White Golden Core, even if she is a True Disciple of the Penglai Immortal Sect, the most one would find in her Storage Treasure would be a hundred thousand Pure Yang Great Pills at most.
After all, the Penglai Immortal Sect was founded just a century ago and its foundation is incomparable to that of other sects.
"It was just a matter of lifting a hand for me, no need for your rewards. I'm on my way to Biyou Fairy City, and since you are disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect, you can just guide me there,"
Alkaid said.
Upon hearing what Alkaid said, Ye Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, pretending to be overjoyed, she said, "We cannot repay the debt of saving our lives. If the senior doesn't mind, we wish to lead you to Biyou Fairy City and offer you our hospitality."
As she spoke, she added quickly, "Although I am merely one disciple of the Penglai Immortal Sect, I do carry the title of True Disciple. If the senior needs to sell or purchase any goods, this title should help save you some time."
True Disciple.
Alkaid pondered for a moment, considering that Penglai Immortal Sect was a newly established sect and not yet completely decadent.
In addition to the sect's reputation that had spread in the outside world...
"Then I shall trouble you."
Alkaid did not refuse again.
After speaking, he was ready to take to the sky.
At this moment, Ye Hongyu spoke again, "Senior, about this Great Demon..."
"I have taken the Demon Core; you may take the rest of the corpse if it's of use to you,"
Alkaid gestured with his hand.
Demons often cultivate their Heavenly Demon Body or True Demon Body rather than using Spiritual Magical Artifacts, making their bodies the most valuable possession they have.
Within the body, the price of a Demon Core makes up ninety percent, with the rest being merely scraps.
"Not the Demon Core, but a Ninth Rank Great Demon is worth 1 million Contribution Points on the Demon Slaying List. You probably haven't registered for a Demon Slaying Order yet? We can testify and record this contribution for you first, then you can complete the registration once we reach Biyou Fairy City, and you will instantly gain 1 million Contribution Points,"
Ye Hongyu explained quickly, adding, "Contribution Points can be exchanged for some precious materials within our Penglai Immortal Sect, including Divine Skills and advanced secret techniques. While 1 million Contribution Points exchanged directly for Pure Yang Great Pills will only yield 100,000 pills, the ability to purchase resources that are almost never sold outside makes their true value more than double."
"Oh?"
Alkaid's interest was piqued, "Precious materials? What kind of precious materials can be exchanged? Even Dao Artifacts?"@@@@
Ye Hongyu replied with a slight smile, "Nineteen years ago, the Ocean Suppressing King from Dashang, specifically to counter and defend against the demons of the Deep Blue Sea, exchanged 6.4 billion Contribution Points for the Dao Artifact, Mountain Sea Pearl, from our Penglai Immortal Sect."
Upon hearing this, Alkaid's expression became a bit more solemn.
Even a Dao Artifact could be exchanged by external forces?
This Penglai Dao Lord was indeed generous.
Could it be because these Dao Artifacts were from the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion, and hence they weren't as reluctant to part with them?
Otherwise, no one in their right mind would come here to trade.
With Ye Hongyu and the others slowing them down, the journey became significantly slower.
By the time Alkaid arrived at Biyou Fairy City, three days had passed.
...
"Up ahead lies Biyou Fairy City," said Ye Hongyu.
The haze lifted at the edge of their vision, revealing an enormous island split into two tiers.
The lower layer of the island was a vast landmass sprawling thousands of miles, surrounded by numerous ports, with countless ships navigating the waters.
At the center of the island was a floating landmass nearly a thousand miles in diameter.
Sword lights, flying boats, and spirit birds were constantly traversing through it.
The number of cultivators coming and going was vast, with the liveliness rivaling that of the Dashang Eastern Sea Fairy City.
Considering that this was the Deep Blue Sea, not exactly a safe haven, yet still attracting so many merchants and cultivators...
The appeal was obvious.
"Biyou Fairy City is the gateway that our Penglai Immortal Sect presents to everyone. It essentially represents our sect's attitude both externally and internally. Among the most important rules here is that random fighting is forbidden. Should there be any disputes, they should be reported to the enforcement team, and while the trade negotiations are a matter of mutual agreement, it is not permissible to bully the weak based on cultivation, ensuring fairness and justice in transactions..."
Ye Hongyu enthusiastically introduced Biyou Fairy City to Alkaid.
During the past three days, she had contacted her friends and silently inquired about Alkaid, confirming that he had indeed been with the Heavenly Dao Sect for less than five years, and had also learned of his talent displayed in Haizhou Prefecture.
Besides his talent, what most interested them was Alkaid's style of conduct.
Even though he had destroyed the Xi Family, his actions were conducted properly and within the rules, without needless killing.
In the general environment of the Northern Sea Star, this was almost like a breath of fresh air.
Meanwhile, as Ye Hongyu was investigating him, he was also observing the Penglai Immortal Sect disciples.
From the way the disciples interacted with each other, one could generally ascertain the internal atmosphere of a sect and thus gauge the way the sect conducted itself.
Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
In such a relatively harmonious interaction, Alkaid first visited the Demon Slaying Hall.
He applied for a Demon Slaying Order.
With a True Disciple like Ye Hongyu coming forward, the entire process was extremely easy.
In less than a few minutes, a Demon Slaying Order was already in Alkaid's hands.
It also came with an additional 1 million Contribution Points.
"Our Penglai Immortal Sect's Demon Slaying Orders are divided into common, intermediate, advanced, and top-tier levels, corresponding to cumulative thresholds of 100,000, 1 million, 10 million, and 100 million Contribution Points, respectively. Since Dao Friend Alkaid has slain a Ninth Rank Great Demon, naturally, an intermediate Demon Slaying Order is processed for you," Ye Hongyu said with a smile. "Different levels can exchange for different resources. If Dao Friend Alkaid wishes to exchange for a Dao Artifact, you must advance to a top-tier Demon Slaying Order. Likewise, anyone who holds a top-tier Demon Slaying Order enjoys a tribute treatment within the Penglai Immortal Sect territory."
"A tribute?"
Alkaid was somewhat surprised. "Are there many Great Pills to be claimed every year as a tribute?"
"Yes," Ye Hongyu nodded. "Even if you don't join our Penglai Immortal Sect, these privileges still apply."
Suddenly, Alkaid felt a twinge of excitement.
Slaying demons not only earned him 'experience' for improvement but also 'contribution' to exchange for Pure Yang Great Pills.
Once his Contribution Points were sufficient, he could even receive 'tribute' benefits.
Perhaps...
After reaching the Hollow Void Realm, he might spend some time cultivating in the Deep Blue Sea.
