I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?
Chapter 216 What respectable person would use rare and precious materials to make a communication ja
Just then, a window on the side of the bronze chariot opened.
The gauze curtains inside the window were pulled back, revealing Lu Yang's handsome and gentle face.
He casually draped his arm over the window sill, smiled at Zhang Chi outside the car, and said in a calm and composed tone, "Elder Zhang, hello, I'll go into the city for a stroll first."
This was the first time Lu Yang had ever seen a floating city like this.
It must be said that the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a top sect in the art of weapon crafting, having actually created such a city.
This kind of thing cannot be seen in Qin Prefecture.
Since we're here, we should naturally go in and take a look.
Just consider it a scenic spot visit.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi nodded eagerly, his square, taciturn face beaming with enthusiasm: "No problem! Shall I arrange for someone to guide you, sir?"
Lu Yang thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Since it's my first time here, hiring a local guide is much better than wandering around aimlessly on my own.
Zhang Chi smiled broadly, leaning to the side and extending his arm towards the city, his posture becoming increasingly respectful: "Young Master, your ancient carriage can be parked in my sect's territory for now. Why not just enter the city directly?"
Lu Yang nodded slightly.
The nine cloud dragons immediately took another step, their four claws treading on the clouds, pulling the ancient and noble bronze chariot, and under Zhang Chi's guidance, they slowly flew towards the Heavenly Craft City.
Zhang Chi took out the control token of the defensive array and manipulated the city's formation, temporarily opening a wide entrance on the protective light screen above the city wall.
The pale golden array of light parted to both sides like ripples on water, revealing a passage large enough for the entire ancient vehicle to pass through comfortably.
Actually, this already breaks the rules.
Under normal circumstances, all cultivators' large flying boats and flying mounts need to stop in a specific area outside the city and cannot enter the city directly.
Even the elders of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect were no exception.
But the person in front of me is different.
Upon learning that this important figure was coming to their Tiangong City, Zhang Chi had already contacted Duan Heng, the leader of the Tiangong Xuanzong sect, through a communication jade tablet.
Duan Heng immediately instructed him to treat this important figure as a supreme elder and not to anger him.
If the sect leader hadn't personally given his approval, Zhang Chi wouldn't have dared to activate the city's protective formation without permission, even if he had ten times the courage.
Nine cloud dragons rode on the clouds above the city, their enormous bodies casting long, winding shadows in the sunlight above the city.
Wherever the cloud dragon passed, the cultivators in the city all looked up in its direction.
The rogue cultivators who were haggling over prices in the market stopped arguing, the sect disciples who were drinking and discussing the Dao by the window of the restaurant put down their wine cups, and even the clanging of hammers in several weapon-refining workshops suddenly stopped.
Everyone's face was filled with a mixture of fear and awe. The city was completely silent, save for the occasional low roar of the cloud dragon and the faint metallic clanging of the bronze rope in the wind.
Even in Tiangong City, none of the many cultivators within the city had ever seen such a spectacle.
Nine dragons pulled, and the elders of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect personally led the way.
This spectacle is really a bit intimidating!
The Jiuhua Cloud Chariot swept across the sky above the city and quickly arrived at the center of the city with Zhang Chi.
There was a vast manor there, surrounded by a white jade wall, within which pavilions and towers could be vaguely seen scattered in a well-organized manner.
In the center of the manor is a wide plaza paved with bluestone slabs. Around the plaza stand several stone pillars with array patterns. The spirit-gathering arrays on the pillars are operating on their own, slowly drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Zhang Chi pointed to the main square and said respectfully, "Sir, you may park this ancient carriage in the square."
Lu Yang nodded and instructed Wang Si to stop the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot.
Nine cloud dragons slowly descended, their massive bodies gently landing on the ground, and the bronze chariot came to a steady stop in the center of the square.
After settling down, the cloud dragons roared in unison, their fifty-foot-long bodies transforming into a sky full of pure white clouds that churned in the sunlight for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
Only the ancient bronze chariot remained standing quietly in the square, its pale gold patterns on the nine-tiered canopy still flowing in and out of the light.
Zhang Chi stood quietly to one side, hands at his sides, waiting for the important person above to get off the car.
A moment later, the doors of the bronze chariot slowly opened.
Lu Yang stepped forward first, followed by the beautiful and aloof Mu Yunxue, and the bouncy Lu Qingtong.
Then came Wang Da and Wang San.
Wang Si did not come out, so Lu Yang told him to stay on the ancient cart and keep watch.
Since he's just going into town for a stroll, he doesn't need a whole group of people following him.
When Zhang Chi saw Lu Yang's appearance, his eyes were filled with amazement, and he was even a little dazed.
This person's demeanor is truly outstanding!
He was clearly only at the Qi Refining stage, yet just by standing there, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to spontaneously converge towards him, and even the sunlight falling on him appeared softer than elsewhere.
However, he quickly regained his composure, lowered his head, and, not daring to look at Lu Yang any longer, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I will arrange for the disciples to take you all for a stroll in the city!"
He took out the communication jade tablet and sent a message into it.
A short while later, the sound of something cutting through the air could be heard in the distance.
A sword flash swept across the high wall outside the manor and landed steadily on the square.
The sword light dissipated, revealing the figure of a young woman.
She appeared to be in her early twenties, dressed in the signature black outfit of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect. The cuffs and collar of the outfit were embroidered with bronze-colored flame patterns, a mark that could only be used by inner disciples and above of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect.
The woman had a round, oval face with delicate features and a natural, approachable charm in her eyes and brows.
She had obviously already been informed of Lu Yang's identity. After landing, she nervously cupped her hands in greeting to Lu Yang, her voice clear but with a hint of restraint: "Lu Qiong, a direct disciple of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, greets you, young master and everyone."
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected them to be from the same clan.
He smiled and nodded, his tone relaxed and easygoing: "Senior Sister Lu, I'll leave the rest to you."
Lu Qiong quickly waved his hand, "Young master, you're too kind. Shall we set off now?"
Just as Lu Yang was about to nod, another whooshing sound came from the horizon.
He looked up and saw several streaks of light approaching at an extremely fast speed in the distance.
The pressure of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator emanated from the escape light, pouring down like mercury, making all the cultivators in the entire Heavenly Craft City feel as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests, causing them to hold their breath.
The cultivators on the street, still reeling from the shock of the cloud dragon's passage, all looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
Fortunately, the escape light disappeared into the center of the city in no time.
They landed in front of Lu Yang, revealing themselves to be several men and women.
There were six people in total, led by an elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged man.
The old man was thin and wore a moon-white, wide-sleeved Taoist robe. His beard and hair were all white, but his face was ruddy. His eyes were sharp and restrained, and a warm smile was on his lips.
The middle-aged man was half a head shorter than him, of medium build, and wore a dark blue brocade robe embroidered with the mountain gate pattern of the Tiangong Xuanzong sect.
He had a friendly face and a warm smile that always graced his lips, but his eyes revealed a shrewdness and keenness like a businessman.
Behind them followed a middle-aged woman, two middle-aged men, and an elderly man with white hair.
Their bodies were all shimmering with the spiritual light of magical artifacts.
The light shone on the six people, making the bluestone slabs in the square glow with various colors.
Every cultivator is armed to the teeth!
This is the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, where every cultivator possesses multiple magical treasures!
Even the Supreme Elders are no exception.
When the difference in strength between individuals is not significant, magical artifacts can greatly enhance combat power.
With so many magical treasures at their disposal, it's no wonder that the cultivators of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect possess formidable combat prowess.
However, Lu Yang's gaze fell on the last old man.
He looked at the old man and felt that he was somewhat familiar with him.
He thought for a moment and quickly remembered.
He had seen this old man a couple of days ago when he was vying for the Nine-Patterned Vermilion Flame Fruit in the Heavenly Broken Mountains.
At that time, the old man was with a group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
He felt at that time that this guy had quite a few magical treasures.
So it was from the Celestial Craftsmanship Sect!
That makes sense.
Pei Yuqing, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, was a little depressed at the moment. He naturally noticed Lu Yang's gaze, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
To be honest, if he could, he really wouldn't want to see this young master again.
After all, the servant next to him was really a bit scary.
Having witnessed firsthand how the servant overwhelmed the combined attack of more than ten transformed demons and killed the cultivator who treaded on the fire bull, Pei Yuqing still occasionally had that image flash through his mind these past two days.
It’s too shocking!
However, as the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, Pei Yuqing naturally could not ignore his own sect.
He forced a smile, cupped his hands, and said, "Pei Yuqing greets you, young master. I never expected to meet you again. Your brilliance in the Tian Duan Mountains that day remains vivid in my memory!"
After speaking, he looked at Wang Dahe, who was expressionless, and Lu Qingtong, who was staring wide-eyed at her surroundings.
"Fellow Daoists, we meet again."
Wang Da nodded to Pei Yuqing without any expression.
Lu Qingtong seemed not to hear, and was standing on tiptoe, curiously looking at a rather strange-looking flying boat in the distance.
Lu Yang nodded and smiled, "So it's Elder Pei. We meet again."
The elder at the head of the group laughed heartily and took over the conversation, his voice booming: "Young Master and Junior Brother Pei have become acquainted through a fight, quite a coincidence. I am Mo Qianjun, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, and this is Duan Heng, the Sect Leader of my sect. These three are also Supreme Elders of my sect: Jiang Mushan, Huang Jing, and Yu Suxin."
Jiang Mushan, Huang Jing, and Yu Suxin bowed to Lu Yang with warm smiles on their faces.
"Greetings, young master, and two other fellow Daoists."
Duan Heng spoke up at this opportune moment, his tone warm: "Young master, have you come to my Heavenly Craft City intending to purchase magical treasures?"
As the leader of the Tiangong Xuanzong sect, he had a fairly accurate understanding of his own sect.
Having heard what Senior Brother Pei Yuqing had said about Lu Yang, Duan Heng had already filled in the gaps in his understanding of this young master's identity.
He is a noble young master with a mysterious and prestigious background, and is quite favored.
Given this young master's background, the only skill the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect might possess is weapon crafting, which could possibly catch his eye.
Lu Yang nodded and said frankly, "That's right, I do need to buy some things."
Duan Heng's eyes lit up, and his tone became more confident as he said, "My Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect may not be good at anything else, but our weapon crafting skills are among the best in the entire Eastern Region! What kind of magic weapon does the young master need? Just say the word, and my Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect should be able to get it for you!"
He wasn't bragging.
The Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect has a history of tens of thousands of years, and the treasures piled up in its treasury are enough to drive any weapon refiner crazy.
Whether it's a top-grade magic weapon or a spiritual treasure, as long as the customer can afford the price, there's almost nothing the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect can't offer!
Lu Yang smiled slightly: "What I need is not a magic weapon, but a sound transmission jade tablet."
Upon hearing this, Duan Heng and the others were taken aback, somewhat surprised.
After all, the sound transmission jade tablet is basically a necessity for cultivators, and it can be sold in various places.
They specifically came to their Tiangong Xuanzong sect to buy the sound transmission jade tablet?
This young master certainly has a leisurely and refined taste...
However… Duan Heng thought about it again and understood.
Given this young master's status, the communication jade token he needs is probably not the kind you can buy in an ordinary shop.
He immediately laughed and said, "Given your status, young master, you probably desire a higher-quality communication jade tablet, right? Our Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect is quite skilled in communication jade tablets; our highest quality ones can cover the entire three states!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little disappointed.
The maximum extent is only three states?
This is way too small!
Lu Yang found the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect through the search module.
Wasn't it said that it was possible to make a communication jade tablet that could cover the entire Eastern Region?
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and asked, "The highest quality only covers three states? I need a communication jade tablet that can at least cover the Eastern Region. Of course, it would be even better if it could cover the entire Canglan Continent. Can you make that?"
Duan Heng: "????"
The other elders were all bewildered.
The expressions on their faces froze instantly.
No... Under normal circumstances, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators rarely manage to explore the entire Eastern Region!
The sound transmission jade tablet, covering three states, is big enough!
They're actually going to cover the entire Eastern Region?!
Even the entire Canglan Continent?!
Does this young master even know what he's saying?!
It's important to know that the quality of the sound transmission jade tablet is related to the quality of the soul jade.
The wider the range of sound transmission, the higher the quality of the Divine Soul Jade required.
A communication jade tablet that can cover the entire Eastern Region—what grade must that soul jade be?!
This level of Divine Soul Jade can be considered a rare and precious treasure!
This kind of Divine Soul Jade can be used to make magical artifacts of the Divine Soul type, including spiritual treasures and even Xuan Tian magical artifacts!
What decent person would have nothing better to do than use such rare and precious materials to make a communication jade pendant?!
What's the difference between this and using a ten-thousand-year-old jade to pave floor tiles?
What a waste!
