Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 391 First Hearing of the Immortal City, Who is the Mischievous One?

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a knock on the hatch.

Who has come here?
Chen Xu turned his head and silently looked toward the direction of the cabin door.

His thoughts were suppressed by this world, preventing him from probing too far outward, but his senses remained sharp.

Just from the rhythm of the knocking, Chen Xu could vaguely sense that the person outside seemed to have ill intentions.

Sure enough, along with the knocking, came a quick announcement: "Open the door! There are thieves on the airship! Open the cabin door immediately! The Flying Feather Guards are on patrol!"

The Flying Feather Guard is the name of the guard team on this Lark ship.

Good heavens, could this be a case of theft out of thin air?

Ji Yang, standing by the window, was so startled that his hand trembled.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had just finished eating a whole basket of Purple Spirit Pearls and had been watching the sea of ​​clouds through the window for a long time, but he had not been able to understand anything.

Miracles don't happen easily in this world. Ji Yang is mediocre and has low comprehension. This is not something that can be saved by a basket of Purple Spirit Pearls.

But Ji Yang didn't even have time to feel discouraged or depressed.

The knocking startled him, and he panicked.

He subconsciously looked at the basket he had just emptied and quickly put the empty basket into his storage pouch.

However, the Purple Spirit Pearl has an extremely strong and distinctive aroma. As soon as the cabin door is opened, it will be revealed that Ji Yang has just eaten the Purple Spirit Pearl.

The Flying Feather Guards outside claimed they were patrolling to find a notorious thief, but who knows if they were really looking for a "great thief" or just trying to find out who was behind the Purple Spirit Pearl?

It seems that the previous covert investigations have yielded no results, leading some people to become desperate and resort to drastic measures.

The knocking on the door continued, and just as Ji Yang was about to burst into tears, a gentle breeze seemed to blow through the small cabin.

The wind came silently and without a trace, yet it was refreshing and invigorating.

However, in an instant, the rich, sweet aroma that had been wafting through the cabin vanished without a trace.

If Ji Yang hadn't been certain that his memory was correct, he would have even doubted whether he had actually eaten any Purple Spirit Pearl at all.

What's even more amazing is that as soon as Ji Yang opened his mouth, he found that the aura of the spiritual food he had eaten seemed to disappear at the same time.

That gust of wind just now was truly miraculous.

Ji Yang guessed that it was his senior who had made a move. He was both surprised and delighted, but then he noticed that the sounds outside the door seemed to be getting increasingly heated.
"Open the door! Who's inside? Are you a sect disciple or a rogue cultivator? Why aren't you making a sound? If you don't speak up..."

Ji Yang forced himself to remain calm and hurriedly shouted, "I am Ji Yang, a family cultivator from Bai Liu City. I am going to Canglan City to participate in the sect's assessment!"

"I was cultivating just now, and naturally I couldn't respond quickly when I finished my practice. Please wait a moment, I'll open the door right away."

After saying that, he quickly strode to the cabin door and opened it.

During the process, Ji Yang's chaotic emotions gradually calmed down.

Because he remembered that his senior was right beside him, and that his senior possessed unfathomable abilities and that his cultivation level had far exceeded Ji Yang's imagination.

With experienced mentors around, what is there to fear from outsiders?
Ji Yang thought to himself that he had just eaten a whole basket of Purple Spirit Pearls and had sworn an oath in front of his senior.

My senior is keen to mentor me, and I must not let him down.

With these thoughts racing through his mind, a power gradually welled up from the depths of his heart.

He was no longer flustered, but on his face he adopted a cautious and prudent demeanor befitting his status.

The door opened with a whoosh.

Immediately, two Flying Feather Guards dressed in lark-patterned uniforms stormed in. The one in front glared angrily and rebuked Ji Yang:

"What are you doing? Taking such a long time, are you perhaps harboring a notorious thief? Where's your identification token? Show it to us for verification!"

Ji Yang stammered and hurriedly said, "I, I, I... I really am cultivating! You two esteemed cultivators, please be aware."

"This...this is my identity token, and this is my flying boat token. Please check them, gentlemen."

He nervously pulled the token from his pocket, his movements slightly slow due to tension, causing the two men to frown.

One person kept an eye on Ji Yang, took his token and examined it in his hand, while the other person paced around the cramped cabin.

His gaze was like that of an eagle, as if he could see through everything in the simple cabin and understand Ji Yang completely.

But overall, the two were surprisingly restrained.

After this inspection, the leading Flying Feather Guard, holding a command token, stared at Ji Yang with a half-smile and said:

"You, a hereditary independent cultivator, actually traveled thousands of miles from Bailiu City to Canglan City, hoping to find a sect in Canglan City and participate in the entrance examination?"

Ji Yang stood awkwardly in the cabin, seemingly unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.

He asked nervously, "Yes, that's exactly right. Is there something wrong?"

The Flying Feather Guard chuckled and said, "You're quite well-off? Did you inherit a large fortune?"

As he spoke, he also scanned the cabin around. Clearly, Ji Yang, who lived in such a cramped and simple room, did not look like someone from a wealthy family.

Ji Yang shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, and hurriedly said:

"No, no, I... I saved up money for a long time because my family was poor, and bought a boat ticket to try to find a way out in Canglan City."

If I stayed in my hometown, no sect would be willing to accept me.

The Flying Feather Guard grinned again: "No sect in your hometown is willing to accept you. Do you think a sect will accept you once you arrive in Canglan City?"

Hehehe, little brother, when you're desperate, even wild ideas are a last resort!

So, would you like someone to show you the right path?

Ji Yang exclaimed "Ah!" and said blankly, "Someone is willing to show me the way? That's so kind? Who...who is this kind person?"

Oh, he's really pathetic.

The Flying Feather Guard then scanned Ji Yang up and down, before fixing his gaze on the storage pouch at his waist, smiling but saying nothing.

At the same time, he was still stroking Ji Yang's two tokens in his hand, reluctant to return them to him.

At this point, their intentions have been fully exposed.

It turned out that this person couldn't find any "master thief" from Ji Yang, so he wanted to squeeze some benefits out of Ji Yang so that his trip wouldn't be in vain. Ji Yang actually understood this as well, and he was secretly conflicted about whether he should pay this "reward".

If it weren't for the senior's presence behind him, Ji Yang would definitely have paid honestly.

But that's not necessarily true, because without his predecessors, Ji Yang would be so poor that he couldn't afford anything.

Those who can't afford anything then have no choice but to use "stubbornness" to resist everything.

Ji Yang felt nervous, holding his breath as if he were caught between a rock and a hard place.

Fortunately, the mysterious senior quickly gave him instructions.

Chen Xu said, "Give me five Qi Hua Pills."

Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but was also inexplicably disappointed.

With a slightly hesitant movement, he reached for his waist and obediently pulled out two Qi Essence Pills...

Then he paused for a moment, and after taking out two Qi Hua Pills, he carefully and reluctantly took out three more, handing a total of five Qi Hua Pills to the Flying Feather Guard.

He said, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please have some tea, esteemed gentlemen. I am truly short of funds, please forgive me."

"Now that we've arrived in Canglan City, what should I do? I wonder if the two senior cultivators could offer some guidance?"

The Flying Feather Guard smiled at Ji Yang, and once he had the five Qi Hua Pills in his hand, he gently tossed them away.

"Heh, young man, you're quite sensible." He glanced sideways slightly and swiftly pocketed the Qi Hua Dan.

After that, he tossed Ji Yang's two tokens back into his hands.

Then he went on to say a long and honest statement:

"Young brother, let me teach you a lesson: living in the immortal city is not easy."

Once you enter a celestial city, no matter which one it is, you must first pay a spirit certificate fee and obtain a spirit certificate before you can travel within the city. Otherwise, you will be arrested as a heretic.

A person can stay in the city for a month with ten Qi Hua Pills.

It's not expensive at all, is it?

Hehehe, the low-grade spirit tokens of ten Qi Hua Pills can only be used in the Dust Realm of the outer city. As for the Jade Palace Realm of the inner city, where the immortal spiritual energy is extremely abundant, you can't afford to go there.

Sects of the fifth rank or above only recruit disciples within the inner city.

As for the outer city, there are only sixth and seventh rank sects.

By the way, there are no minor sects of the eighth or ninth rank in the Immortal City.

Once you enter the city, be very careful around the children waiting at the city gate to guide you. Ignore them, whether they are male or female.

Otherwise, if you get swindled out of all your money, don't blame me for not warning you.

If you want to learn more about Canglan City, you can go to the Tianzhou Merchant Guild at the city gate and the Zhaixing Tower of our Feixing Sect to buy a copy of the Canglan City Immortal City Grand View.

Do not go to small shops, and do not seek out passersby to buy this item.

Although the items from our Zhaixinglou and Tianzhou Chamber of Commerce are more expensive, at least we won't fabricate anything or cheat you.

Alright, that's all I have to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you.

"We're brothers, we won't take your fare for nothing, let's go!"

After speaking, the two Flying Feather Guards exchanged a glance and stepped out of Ji Yang's cramped cabin.

Ji Yang was left behind, digesting the large amount of information he had just received.

boom!
The door was closed again.

Ji Yang let out a long breath, his mind filled with thoughts that made it impossible to describe his feelings at that moment.

He couldn't help but say, "Senior, I just gave away five Qi Hua Pills, so theoretically I received a return, and it seems like I didn't lose out."

But for some reason, even after spending money to avoid further trouble, I still felt uneasy.

He hoped Chen Xu would give him an answer, but little did he know that Chen Xu was no longer by his side.

Where did Chen Xu go?

Naturally, I followed behind the two Flying Feather Guards, watching them knock on one cabin door after another without any scruples.

Under the guise of searching for a major thief, they searched almost the entire third floor.

There were also people checking the other floors, but that wasn't the task of the two Flying Feather Guards in front of them.

Their main search target was still the third floor.

However, their attitudes towards people of different cultivation levels are completely different.

For example, during the Qi Refining stage, it is usually difficult to get a pleasant look from them.

While those in the Foundation Establishment stage will not be polite either, they will be somewhat more restrained.

Finally, when they arrived at the door of the old woman from the Benlei Sect, who was at the Golden Core stage, their tone became respectful.

This female Golden Elixir cultivator's Daoist name was Huijue Zhenren.

The two Flying Feather Guards said, "Senior Huijue, we have come on orders for the safety of our flying boat. We hope you will be lenient with us."

Inside the cabin, the aged voice of Master Huijue spoke: "Come in."

The door was opened from the inside, and inside, besides Master Huijue, were three other disciples of the Benlei Sect.

Both sides remained restrained. The three Thunderclap Sect disciples were furious, but dared not speak out, waiting for the two Flying Feather Guards to enter the cabin.

The two Flying Feather Guards only intended to conduct a symbolic inspection.

Just then, the lead Flying Feather Guard, who was standing at the door and about to step into the cabin, suddenly felt a chill on his waist.

The next moment, his belt suddenly snapped!
Both his outer trousers and underpants fell down with a rustling sound.

This happened so fast and suddenly that no one had time to react.

Even the Flying Feather Guard, whose pants had fallen down, was stunned until a burst of thunderous laughter erupted from the cabin: "Hahaha!"

Two Flying Feather Guards: ...
