Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 708 Entering the City
The fleet entered the port of Jinchang Island.

This port is extremely huge, with more than a dozen giant ships over a thousand feet in length docked there.

Compared with them, ships like those of Xuemei Trading Company are nothing.

According to Jiang Xueting, this port is only the smallest of the sixteen ports on Jinchang Island, which made Ning Fa marvel at it.

Everyone disembarked.

After Jiang Xueting had spoken to several other Jiang family executives, she walked gracefully to his side and said with a soft smile:

"I wonder what Brother Ning is going to do next? I have stayed in Jinchang Island for a while before, so I am quite familiar with this place.

If Fellow Daoist Ning doesn't mind, I can serve as your guide."

Ning Fa was naturally happy about this, but he still pretended to be polite and said, "How can this be so embarrassing? Isn't Brother Jiang still busy with the affairs of the business?"

Jiang Xueting pursed her red lips and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Ning, don't worry, these matters will naturally be handled by my uncles, and I don't have to show up much.

It's still early now, so I'll take Fellow Daoist Ning to the upper island for a stroll."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Ningfa to refuse and started to lead the way.

Ningfa smiled and followed.

The two flew upwards and soon arrived at the nearest city gate on the upper island.

Ning Fa looked around and saw that the city wall was about several feet high and made entirely of a kind of white jade that was shining brightly.

And on its surface there are mysterious runes that flash continuously like fleeting light and shadows, emitting an astonishing aura of spiritual pressure. It looks majestic and solemn.

The two walked towards the city gate, and saw that the person in front of them in the queue showed a white ring and was able to enter the city smoothly.

When the two of them arrived, a middle-aged city guard in white armor and with a stern look at the city gate saw that the two did not take out the white ring, and said expressionlessly:
“The entrance fee is 15 spirit stones per person per day, and the minimum payment is three days.

If you are detained, you need to pay the fees in time, otherwise it will be recorded by our Jinchang City and you will have to pay a fine. "

Hearing this, Jiang Xueting couldn't help but said in surprise: "Fifteen spirit stones? So expensive, I remember it wasn't ten spirit stones before?"

The White Armor City Guard said impatiently: "Ten spirit stones were a long time ago, and it has been raised to twelve spirit stones a long time ago.

And now, because the Double Moon Festival is approaching, the entrance fee to the city has been temporarily increased.

Do you want to go in or not? Don’t waste your time.”

Although this city guard was only at the initial stage of foundation building, and Jiang Xueting was already at the middle stage of foundation building, this person was obviously not afraid at all.

Jiang Xueting frowned, "We all pay for January."

After saying that, she counted out nine hundred spirit stones and gave them to the man.

The city guard also took out two white rings and used a special white octagonal magic weapon to shoot a ray of light at the two rings and handed them to the two men.

“Remember, flying is prohibited in the city, fighting is prohibited, and disrupting the order in the city is prohibited. Once discovered, you will be severely punished.

If you want to apply for permanent residency, you can go to Jinchang Prefecture in the southeast of the city to inquire."

The city guard's attitude improved a little and he added another sentence.

Jiang Xueting nodded, and the two of them then actually entered the upper island.

Ning Fa was secretly shocked in his heart. The entrance fee to the city would be more than thousands of spirit stones a year. He was afraid that ordinary foundation-building cultivators would not be able to stay on the upper island for a long time.

Jiang Xueting also sighed, and then explained to Ning Fa at the right time: "This Double Moon Festival is a special festival for us in the Jinchuan Islands.

Every ten years, there will be a special spectacle of two moons hanging in the sky in our sea area, which will last for half a year to a year.

Every time this time comes, celebrations are held in various places in the Jinchuan Islands to celebrate.

Of course, Jinchang Island is the busiest, and auctions are frequently held at this time.”

A hint of interest appeared in Ning Fa's eyes, and he followed Jiang Xueting into the city.

He also felt the prosperity coming towards him.

I saw that the main street of the weighing was thirty meters wide, the ground was made of blue jade and was spotless, and a star formation was faintly visible.

The pavilions on both sides were decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, red tiles and jade tiles, and sparkling with precious light. They clearly had an exotic style that Ning Fa found extremely special.

Even though the entrance fee to this upper island is so expensive, there are still quite a lot of people walking in the city, most of whom are foundation-building monks.

Ning Fa also noticed that many of these people exuded a strong aura of water spiritual power. Obviously, they all had water spiritual roots. This should be related to the special environment of the Nine Dragon Sea.

Soon after, the two of them came to a magnificent seven-story pavilion. Surprisingly, this pavilion was actually suspended ten feet above the ground.

The whole body is shining with precious light, and wide rainbow bridges extend from it, guiding the surrounding customers.

Although other shops nearby are also large in scale, they have all become green leaves in front of this building.

Ningfa stopped.

On the plaque in the middle of the pavilion were three large characters "Qibao Pavilion" written in a flamboyant style. There was also a golden flag extending out, with seven treasures such as swords, knives, chess, calligraphy and painting on it.

Jiang Xueting explained, "This is the famous Qibao Pavilion in Jinchang Island. It is also one of the most famous shops in the city. Behind it is the famous Qibao Company. Qibao Company is a large company that spans the three sea areas of Yuheng, Leiming and Wuling, and has many branches in these three sea areas.

Of course, in addition to Qibao Trading Company, there are also large trading companies such as Sihai Trading Company, Longsheng Trading Company, and Miaoquan Trading Company, which are no weaker than Qibao Trading Company and also have branches in the city.

Fellow Daoist Ning, shall we go to the Qibao Pavilion for a stroll?"

Ning Fa thought about it and shook his head, "There's no rush. Let's find a cave to stay first."

Jiang Xueting nodded: "The seven small islands surrounding this upper island are all top-grade cave areas, and the three best islands belong to the City Lord's Mansion.

The other four are for rent, so let's go to the nearest Jinquan Cemetery first."

Before the two of them took two steps, a thunderous roar of a beast suddenly rang out.

Ningfa suddenly raised his head and looked upwards.

I saw a black shadow flying in the sky. It turned out to be two dark dragon-like monsters, pulling a huge bronze carriage. They flew towards the center of the city recklessly, ignoring the no-fly restriction in the city.

Ning Fa only took a quick sweep with his spiritual sense and discovered that the two dragon monsters had both reached the third level, and from their appearance, it was obvious that they had extraordinary bloodlines.

Now it is just a spirit beast driving the carriage, so I guess the person in the carriage must be of great importance.

At this time, a young man with a childish face in the late stage of Qi training nearby couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Isn't it said that the upper island is a no-fly zone? How can someone fly in a car?"

A calm-looking man with a scar on the corner of his eye who was in the late stage of foundation building beside him also looked strange, but he immediately scolded him, "Xiaoliang, don't meddle in other people's business."

A fifty-year-old man not far away said with a smile: "You don't know, the one who just passed by was the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion.

Just the two spirit beasts that pull his cart are the black water dragons with the blood of the heavenly demons, so who in Jinchang City dares to control him?"

The scarred man suddenly understood what was going on. He clasped his hands together to thank the old man, then left with the young man.

Ning Fa, who was not far away, was moved when he heard this.

City Lord's Mansion...

Before coming here, he naturally learned some information about Jinchang Island from Jiang Xueting.

First of all, the largest force on the island is naturally the City Lord's Mansion, which can also be regarded as the official force of the Jinchuan Islands and is recognized by the Huandie Palace, the ruler of the Yuheng Sea.

The lord of the City Lord's Mansion is a powerful man named Yujing Zhenjun, who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm and is also considered to be the strongest man in the Jinchuan Islands.

In addition to him, there are two other deputy city lords in the early Nascent Soul stage in the City Lord's Mansion.

In addition to the City Lord's Mansion, there is another major force called the Ascension Alliance, which is a force mainly formed by individual cultivators.

Its leader is a Nascent Soul expert named Fenglong Zhenjun. Although he is in the early stage of Nascent Soul, he possesses a special spiritual root called wind spiritual root, so his strength is incomparable to that of cultivators of the same level.

It is also said that he practices a very powerful wind-attributed technique, so it is rumored that his strength is not much worse than that of Yujing Zhenjun, and he is firmly established as the second best master in the Jinchuan Islands.

In addition, it is rumored that Master Fenglong has a close relationship with a Nascent Soul elder of the Huandie Palace, so his background can be said to be quite deep.

Besides him, there is another Nascent Soul cultivator in the Ascension Alliance.

Therefore, although the power of this alliance is not as strong as that of the City Lord's Mansion, it should not be underestimated. In the Jinchuan Islands, it has almost the same deterrent power as the City Lord's Mansion of Jinchang Island.

These two can also be said to be the two largest local forces in the Jinchuan Islands.

Of course, big trading companies like Qibao Trading Company, Sihai Trading Company, Longsheng Trading Company, Miaoquan Trading Company, etc. have a transcendent status, and the City Lord's Mansion and the Ascension Alliance dare not offend them easily.

While Ningfa was recalling, the two continued to walk towards the southeast.

After crossing an aerial floating bridge, we arrived at one of the seven small islands surrounding the upper island.

From a distance, you can see a mountain about three hundred feet high standing there.

The entire mountain was dim and obviously covered by restrictions, making it difficult for spiritual consciousness to penetrate. It was obvious that those caves for rent were on this mountain.

At the foot of the mountain there is a three-story pavilion, which is obviously the rental office of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, you have to be mentally prepared. The Double Moon Festival is coming soon. I'm afraid the rent for the cave will be at least a lot higher now." Jiang Xueting reminded him.

Ningfa smiled and walked straight towards the pavilion.

After just a cup of tea, the two of them came out again.

Jiang Xueting's face was already very ugly, she said indignantly: "This is too dark, I thought the price would increase by 10% or 20% at most, but I didn't expect it to increase by 30% or 40%.

Even the most ordinary cave requires more than 10,000 spirit stones every year.

Fellow Daoist Ning, I'll take you to another place, maybe it'll be cheaper there."

Jiang Xueting was about to take Ning Fa forward as she spoke, but at this moment, two monks came towards them.

Jiang Xueting took one look and quickly pulled Ning Fa to the side, making way.

The two cultivators didn't even look at them and just walked forward. The pressure from the superiors was evident. Both of them were Jindan cultivators.
