Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 284 Zhongyuan Immortal City, Reunion with Qingchan

Thunder Demon Kingdom is a major demon kingdom on the main island of Shenzhou. It is a demon kingdom specially preserved by the major sects of the island to cultivate new generations.

Normally, the level of the ruler of a large demon kingdom should be above 300, but this is a human island, and it is impossible to keep such a strong demon race in the heartland. Since the first demon kingdom ruler was killed, the level of the subsequent demon kingdom rulers has not exceeded 300.

The Demon Kingdom has three important passes. The one in the south is called Thunder Eagle Fortress, which is guarded by Thunder Eagle King, one of the ten Demon Generals of the Demon Kingdom. The most common demon army at this pass is the Thunder Eagle Demon Army.

It consists entirely of eagle demons with a level of over 100, numbering in the tens of millions, and possessing extremely strong combat power.

However, even such a powerful demon army was trapped in Thunder Eagle Fortress and could only defend its strategic position.

In front of the fortress is a vast canyon that is thousands of kilometers wide and tens of thousands of kilometers long. Every year, large groups of disciples from various sects come here to train.

Luo Qingchan came here for training with many of her cousins ​​half a month ago, but within a few days, several suitors followed her and fluttered around in front of her like peacocks displaying their tails, which made her extremely annoyed.

Although these suitors are not bad, those who dare to pursue her are all top-notch in terms of aptitude, background, and personal ability. If they were on the main island of Shenzhou, they would be the first-class disciples of the major sects. If they were in a small place like Blue Mountain Island, they would not be able to become Dao children without a foundation of immortality. However, among the disciples, they would definitely be among the best.

If it were any other woman, with so many outstanding men surrounding her, she wouldn't be so repulsed even if she didn't like them, since it would be a testament to her charm.

But she didn't like it because she already had someone she loved and didn't want to get entangled with other men.

"Sister Qingchan, Young Master Duan is here again."

Following the direction of the sound, a handsome young man dressed in an exquisite robe flew over.

Luo Qingchan sighed softly and turned to enter the floating immortal ship.

The young man landed on the deck, watching the disappearing figure with his hand halfway outstretched, a bitter smile on his face.

The various Luo family members present reacted differently to this scene.

There was sympathy, and there was also envy.

Just then, Luo Qingchan, who had just returned to her cabin, suddenly came out again. A bright smile appeared on her beautiful face, which stunned Duan Qingchen. Especially when he saw that she was walking towards him, he was overjoyed.
"Qingchan, who are you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Qingchan brushed past him, soared into the air, and transformed into a streak of sword light, disappearing into the horizon.

"???"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Luo Qingwei and several of her cousins ​​immediately followed, as did Duan Qingchen.

Halfway there, Luo Qingwei transmitted her voice to Luo Qingchan:
"Cousin, where are you going?"

A few voices were transmitted:
"Your brother-in-law is here to pick me up."

"???"

Luo Qingwei looked completely bewildered:
"What brother-in-law?"

It took her a second to realize what was happening, and a look of shock appeared on her delicate, pretty face, which bore a striking resemblance to Luo Qingchan:

"Oh my god? Sis, you have someone you like? Who is it? Does Uncle know?"

"You'll find out soon!"

Zhongyuan Mountain, located in the center of the main island of China, is the main peak of the Zhongyuan Mountain Range, one of the three super mountain ranges on the island. The convergence of the earth's veins and the flow of fortune created the glory of the Luo family, a top-level immortal family, for 100,000 years.

Zhongyuan Immortal City, located in the middle section of the Zhongyuan Mountains, has a permanent population of over 500 million and an active population of over 2 billion. It is one of the thirteen major cities on the main island of Shenzhou.

It is worth mentioning, however, that although Zhongyuan Immortal City has the name Zhongyuan in its name, it is not owned by the Luo family, but by the Supreme Human Council, although the Luo family owns a share in it.

In fact, not only Zhongyuan Immortal City, but all other main cities on the human island belong to the Supreme Council of Civilization, with powerful sects in the surrounding areas holding only a portion of the shares.

Furthermore, the Zhongyuan Mountains are not within the sphere of influence of the Zhongyuan Luo clan.

As one of the three major mountain ranges spanning the entire mainland of China, its area is more than ten times that of Blue Mountain Island. It is impossible for a single family to monopolize it, and even a top-tier immortal family with several immortals would not have that qualification.

"Wow, so many people!"

Su Yu emerged from the teleportation array and looked up at the countless streams of people shuttling through the air like a silver river, which consisted of numerous players.

The main city is enormous, built among mountains, with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, encompassing all the mountain peaks and valleys.

These mountains have been carved and sculpted, and covered with various pavilions and towers, exquisitely crafted like building blocks.

The city was orderly, with dedicated flight tracks. Thousands of players flew along the designated tracks, and various sword lights and treasure lights streaked across the night sky, like a galaxy of stars passing by, which was extremely beautiful.

"Too many people."

In just one main city, there are over two billion active players, which is almost equal to all the players in the entire Blue Mountain Islands. It truly lives up to its reputation as the main island of China.

After entering the main island region of Shenzhou, Su Yu did not need to go ashore. He found a large city in the sea and spent only one thousand gold coins to teleport over a hundred million kilometers to a large city near the sea.

Then, they continued to teleport from there, spending seven thousand gold coins, and in one go, they were teleported to the main city of Zhongyuan.

After exiting the teleportation array, Su Yu didn't wander off. Instead, she stayed in the air not far from the array, waiting for Qing Chan while browsing the regional channels of the Zhongyuan Main City.

"Wow, they even sell tenth-tier magic weapons?"

The first thing I checked was the trading channel, focusing on the top-ranked merchant guilds. The first one I saw was a tenth-tier magic weapon on display at the merchant guild's booth—the Eight Directions Profound Yellow Pagoda.

This is a divine-grade defensive magic weapon with extremely strong defensive capabilities. Crucially, it possesses the characteristic of being impervious to all magic attacks. Like Su Yu's Azure Cloud Canopy, it is undoubtedly a top-tier tenth-order defensive magic weapon. However, the reason it's been displayed here unsold is naturally due to its price.

The Chamber of Commerce listed the price at 99999999, just one gold short of 1 million. It's clearly just a display piece, not something they genuinely want to sell.

Of course, if you're really willing to pay 100 million to buy it, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely be happy to sell, but nobody wants to be the one to complain.

One hundred million could buy a magical treasure.

Su Yu quickly browsed through the list and found that most of the top-ranked merchant guilds had several tenth-tier magic treasures as their prized possessions. Su Yu was quite familiar with these top-ranked merchant guilds, such as the Tongtian Merchant Guild and the Xuanwu Merchant Guild, which both had branches on Flying Star Island.

"Huh? Wanbao Pavilion!"

After browsing for a while, another familiar name appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

"Doesn't this organization usually prefer to operate secretly in inconspicuous places? Why is it so openly operating here?"

However, when he clicked into Wanbaoge, a prompt popped up:
"Existing users, please log in; new users, please register first."

苏瑜
"I've bought things from Wanbaoge on Blue Mountain Island. Does that make me a long-time customer?"

He tried to log in, the interface spun a few times, and then he logged in successfully.

The screen then transitions to the normal merchant guild sales interface, but there's a notification at the top:

"Wanbaoge's once-in-a-decade auction will be held on September 18th this year at its Dongji main city branch. Our clients can purchase an invitation to attend the auction."

Su Yu looked down at the invitation purchase page, which was priced as high as 10 gold.

"Outrageous, the ticket price alone is 100,000 gold coins."

It's not a deposit that's refunded later; it's the ticket price, the kind that won't be refunded.

Su Yu immediately lost interest, closed the interface, and began to check the items currently being sold on Wanbaoge.

This immediately caught his eye. Like other top-tier merchant guilds, Wanbaoge displayed several tenth-tier magic treasures in the open. However, unlike other top-tier merchant guilds that used exorbitant prices that were unaffordable for most people as a selling point, Wanbaoge had a legitimately set price that was actually available for sale.

A tenth-tier demon-slaying divine sword, priced at 998 million gold.

Although it is still very expensive, far exceeding the normal price, it is still reasonable compared to other companies' price tags of 100 million.

If someone truly needs it and has the capital, buying it at this price won't be a bad deal.

Su Yu wasn't in a hurry and examined each of the treasures one by one.

Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Cauldron (Tenth Tier): A rare item that can suppress forbidden objects, lock items, and capture and command spirits. Price: 998 million taels of gold.

Gengjin Divine Sword (Tenth Rank): Rare item, divine weapon, a flying sword forged from innate Gengjin spiritual material, exceptionally sharp, priced at 998 million taels of gold.

Mountain-Shattering Whip (Tier 10): A rare item, a whip-type weapon capable of shattering mountains and breaking peaks. Its size and length can be adjusted as desired. Price: 998 million taels of gold.

The Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand Map (Tenth Tier): A rare item that transforms the world into ten thousand miles of yellow sand. The sand grains are extremely powerful and can summon numerous sand giants and sand dragons with the cultivation of Earth Immortals to fight enemies. Price: 998 million taels of gold.

"Wow, the Wanbao Pavilion is incredibly powerful! They have so many amazing items!"

Besides flying swords and magical treasures, there are also many rare and precious materials and various spiritual objects. There are even many extremely rare fragments of laws here. He counted them and estimated that there were probably over a thousand in total.

One point of Law Power costs 15000 gold, but you can buy 1000 points of Law Power for only 1500 million gold.
"No, I have to hold back."

Su Yu pressed her hand down, afraid that she might impulsively spend 15 million gold coins in an instant.

"No, we have to wait for Qingchan to arrive before we can talk about it."

He had enough money. After defeating the Heavenly God Society, he took 15 million taels of gold from the more than 20 million taels in the warehouse. With his own savings, he now had a total of 22 million taels of gold, which was more than enough.

However, being new to the area and not yet fully aware of the situation, I risked being ripped off if I rashly spent such a large sum of money.

Qingchan is a local and knows the situation; we'll wait for her to come over and ask her to help us figure it out.

"If there are no problems, I'll have to buy some nice things."

In just a short while, he saw several things that appealed to him.

Time passed, and about an hour later, Su Yu suddenly received a message from Qing Chan containing only three words:
"I have arrived."

He immediately turned around and saw a slender figure standing in the air outside the teleportation array, her beautiful eyes, as bright as stars, staring intently at him, her exquisitely beautiful face showing a mixture of anger and joy.

"Blue Cicada!"

Su Yu opened her arms, and the girl's dress swayed like a fairy as she rushed into his arms, instantly embracing him tightly.

"Wow!"

As soon as Luo Qingwei and the others came out of the teleportation array, they saw their cousin throwing herself into a man's arms.

"Is this my brother-in-law? He doesn't seem like it. Wow, they're kissing!"

The little girl covered her face with her hands, but the gaps between her fingers were larger than her eyes, revealing her bright, sparkling eyes as she watched the handsome man and beautiful woman kissing in the air.
