Chapter 459 The Celestial Master Enters the City
So expensive?!

Han Li's spirits lifted, and he thought to himself with secret excitement, "Is this the difference between worlds?"

The expensive medicinal herbs he thought were worthless in Zhutian City, while the low-level spiritual veins that could be found everywhere in the Outer Star Sea could be sold for thousands of Zhutian coins here!
Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Before he went into seclusion to form his core, he flew through the outer sea for more than ten days, searching for a sufficiently secluded place to cultivate. During this time, he discovered many deserted spiritual vein islands.

If he had known earlier that spiritual veins were so valuable, would he have let them go?

Fortunately, cultivators have always had outstanding memories, and Han Li still remembers the locations of those islands vividly.

"Once we get back, we'll set off immediately and dig out those first and second-tier spiritual veins first!"

Just as Han Li was thinking this, Xiao Yan opposite him returned the Heavenly Coins he had just paid, and then smiled and said to him:

"Brother Han, I know you are always meticulous, so you probably don't feel so at ease with a verbal agreement."

"Perfect timing. Zhutian City also has a relevant commercial department. Why don't we make a trip to the East District first and draft the spiritual vein consignment contract under the witness of Zhutian City?"

Is there such a thing?
Han Li's heart stirred, and after a moment's thought, he smiled and nodded, saying, "In that case, let's set off immediately!"

……

……

Meanwhile, in the East District, Ye Fan, Su Haoming, and others were strolling around Zhutian City.

They were so engrossed in gambling on stones in the world of Shrouding the Heavens that they hadn't returned for a long time. Even after Lin Yu opened up the City of All Heavens, they only inquired about it from the group members through the chat group and did not personally step into it.

It wasn't until after Yunye's wedding, when the two returned to the temple, that they had the interest to come and observe.

"The Sutra Repository, the Treasure Pavilion, the Treasury..."

Ye Fan asked with a strange expression, "Are these all branch halls of the City of All Heavens?"

Su Haoming laughed and said, "That's right!"

Ye Fan complained, "What's the difference between that and the dojo down there?"

"There are still some."

Su Haoming turned his gaze to the Fairy of Yaochi yawning in the shop ahead and chuckled, "At least the atmosphere here is much more lively than down here!"

"Immortals, women of Yaochi, citizens of Jifeng City, and lucky ones from all the heavens and myriad realms are all qualified to step into this city that connects the heavens."

"Just like the two that Brother Xiao was leading just now, they should be Yao Lao from Doupo and Han Li from Fanren!"

Ye Fan was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in surprise, "That one is Elder Yao?"

Su Haoming asked in surprise, "You don't recognize him?"

After saying that, he patted his forehead: "Oh right, you really don't recognize me!"

Having traveled together for so long, he almost forgot that Ye Fan and An Ying were new members who had only joined the group a few months ago and had not participated in the team building event in the Doupo world.

"That's such a shame!"

Ye Fan said regretfully, "The three-year agreement, such a classic plot, and I actually missed it."

Su Haoming laughed and said, "It's alright. Anyway, Yunlan Sect was nothing compared to Brother Xiao back then. The brothers went there mainly for team building, and it didn't have much to do with the three-year agreement..."

The two chatted as they walked around the street corner toward the Wanjie Plaza in the West District.

Before long, the two arrived at the huge sphere of light in the center of the square, where they encountered two unexpected residents of the Heavenly City.

"Brother Su?!"

The young man in the white uniform's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, saying with a face full of surprise, "It's you! You really are a resident of Zhutian City!"

"..."

Su Haoming looked in the direction of the voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Chulan?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Chulan exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect Brother Su to still remember his little brother!"

Back in the day, all the old members of the chat group from Under One Person made an appearance. Su Haoming and Zhang Chulan had met once before, which is why the latter was able to recognize the former.

"There's nothing I can do about it. You have such distinctive characteristics that it's hard for me to forget you even if I wanted to!"

Su Haoming made a few jokes, then looked Zhang Chulan up and down, feigning ignorance as he asked:
"Did Brother He give you the city entry permit?"

"Not bad!"

Zhang Chulan chuckled and said, "Now, I am also a member of the City of Heavens. Not long ago, I was invited by Brother He to join the White Jade Alliance on behalf of my company..."

"Oh?"

Su Haoming raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Then they're on our side!"

Zhang Chulan was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

Previously, Su Haoming appeared with He Jingfeng and others, and under the name of Bai Yujing, he recruited the Spear of God, transforming this international assassin organization into a vast force spanning the worlds of superhumans and ordinary people.

Zhang Chulan, having witnessed it firsthand, was fully aware of the situation and thus guessed that those True Monarchs of Baiyujing back then were likely members of the Baiyu Merchant Alliance of Zhutian City. Now, with a little probing, he indeed discovered Su Haoming's identity!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan turned around happily and greeted the second person behind him warmly.

"Master, come and say hello! This Brother Su is none other than the Jade Emperor, who once appeared overseas. He is a member of the Jade Merchant Alliance just like us!"

Master?

Su Haoming and Ye Fan were immediately struck by a thought and followed Zhang Chulan's gaze.

A tall, white-haired, Taoist-robed old man with a bright and reserved gaze strode over and greeted Su Haoming and Ye Fan with a smile and a respectful bow.

"I am Zhang Zhiwei, an ordinary mortal, but I am fortunate to have been granted entry into this city of immortals by my disciple's gift."

"I am new here and unfamiliar with etiquette. If I have been rude or impolite in any way, please forgive me!"

Ordinary people?

Ye Fan smirked, looking at Zhang Zhiwei with a rather strange expression.

If he wasn't mistaken, this old man had an amazing state of mind and extremely high cultivation. Although the energy in his body was limited by the world, it was still at least at the level of the Sea of ​​Life and Spring of Destiny.

Such cultivation level would be considered superhuman in the ordinary modern world!
If such amazing talent is considered ordinary, then Zhang Chulan next to him is not even considered an ordinary person.
"You jest, Master!"

Su Haoming smiled and said, "Compared to you, I merely came into contact with the City of Heavens earlier. In terms of talent alone, I really cannot compare with you..."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency!"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and sighed, "Only after entering this city do I realize that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people."

"The myriad realms are vast and boundless, far beyond what can be described as merely 'hidden dragons and crouching tigers.' My meager cultivation is insignificant even within my own world, let alone in the City of the Myriad Realms!"

It is clear that the old master's worldview has been greatly impacted.

Considering that he has only been in the city for a few days, the person who shocked him was most likely not a resident who was also a newcomer to the city, but the Yaochi Fairy from the Ascension Pavilion who was at least a third-level immortal.

The third installment of the game "Chinese Paladin" already possesses near-surface-level power, far surpassing the immortals in the Old Master's mind.

But even such a powerful figure in the City of Heavens must act according to the rules set by the city lord, and even have to work like a corporate slave, going to work from nine to five to earn money.

Such a cruel reality naturally shocked the old master...

Thinking of this, Su Haoming felt a surge of joy.

At the same time, Zhang Chulan noticed Ye Fan beside him, so he smiled and cupped his hands in greeting:
"May I ask who this gentleman is?"

"..."

Ye Fan snapped out of his daze, smiled slightly, and bowed to Zhang Chulan, saying, "I am Ye Fan, and like you all, I am also a member of the White Jade Merchant Alliance!"

what? !

Zhang Chulan was startled upon hearing this, and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "So it's Emperor Ye!"

"I am Zhang Chulan. I have long admired the name of the Heavenly Emperor. Meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved!"

As he spoke, he took out his city entry token and stepped forward enthusiastically, saying, "It's fate that we met, Brother Ye, how about we become friends?"

Seeing this, Su Haoming and Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

The latter knew that his story was quite famous in various modern worlds, so he was not surprised. He also took out his entry token and smiled as he added Zhang Chulan and Zhang Chulan as friends.

After the four of them added each other as friends, Su Haoming asked with a smile, "Master, you have been in the city for many days now. You must have already visited the Scripture Pavilion in the East District. I wonder if you have gained anything?"

"We have certainly reaped many rewards!"

The old Celestial Master looked wistful, then sighed and said, "It's a pity that all the immortal scriptures sold in the Scripture Pavilion are so expensive. I already have a huge debt on my city entry tokens, so I'm really short of money and can't afford them!"

"I see!"

Su Haoming looked enlightened and turned to Zhang Chulan, teasingly saying:

"Xiao Zhang, that's not fair of you!"

"..."

Zhang Chulan smiled wryly and said, "There's nothing I can do. I've only been in the city for less than a hundred days. I've already sold everything I own and exhausted all my resources to buy this entry token. I really don't have much savings left."

I don't think so!

Su Haoming remained noncommittal, gazing leisurely at Zhang Chulan's uniform and saying, "This clothing is made of extraordinary material and contains spiritual light; it must be at least a mid-level standard magic artifact."

“These kinds of ritual implements are not only expensive, but they also don’t have any real function. For the same price, you can buy a more cost-effective custom-made ritual implement.”

"Given your personality, you certainly wouldn't waste your celestial coins on something like this."

"Therefore, after much thought, I can only think of one possibility: this item was not purchased with Heavenly Coins, but was obtained for free through some rule of Heavenly City!"

"As far as I know, there is such a rule in the West District—any merchant who rents a shop in the Myriad Realms Plaza can receive one to five uniforms provided by the Zhutian City government."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the uniform you had custom-made for your shop assistants, right?"
