Chapter 487
Chapter 487 – Dogs Also Have to Pay?
Within a quiet and secluded mountain valley, Jiang Chen sat on top of a big rock with his legs crossed, and he had entered a perfect state of cultivation. Not far away, Big Yellow was walking back and forth, murmuring to himself along the way. Obviously, he wasn’t happy to have to act as Jiang Chen’s guardian once again.
“Damn kid, not only did he rob my war trophy, he also made this master dog stand guard!”
Big Yellow kept complaining about Jiang Chen. However, although he spoke like that, he still stood guard in a responsible and diligent manner.
About twenty minutes later, Jiang Chen woke up from his state of cultivation. His aura had once again become stronger. Not only had he successfully absorbed the Earth Jail innate ability from the Barbarian Earth Bull’s demon soul, he had also formed another 400 Dragon Marks. With that, he now had a total of 19,400 Dragon Marks in his body, and only needed 600 more to reach the Combat King realm.
Although it was just 600 Dragon Marks, which seemed little, it wasn’t easy to achieve. Dragon Marks became more difficult to form as he progressed further on the path of cultivation, especially when at the edge of breaking through; the energy required to form each new Dragon Mark was so much more than the previous one.
However, Jiang Chen didn’t really mind this. With his current strength, he was able to kill Second Grade Combat Kings with ease. He could even fight a Third Grade Combat King without much problems. And, once he broke through to the Combat King realm, Jiang Chen was confident he could kill Third Grade Combat Kings and fight Fourth Grade Combat Kings. This was the incredible strength brought to him by the Dragon Transformation skill.
“How is it?”
Jiang Chen smiled. In his previous life, this Profound Region was just a small place for him, and he rarely came to this remote are. Although he could tell that this place was within the Profound Region, he had no idea what province they were currently at.
Soon after, a vague image of a city emerged in Jiang Chen and Big Yellow’s sight. Although it was still far away, they could already sense the magnificence of the city.
“It’s just a city at the most remote region, but it’s so huge! This is amazing!”
Big Yellow said, full of emotions.
“Let’s go and take a look at the city.”
Jiang Chen impatiently sped up.
Around noon, the sun was pouring its heat on top of the people’s heads. Crowds of people were traveling around the city. Some were trade caravans, some were rogue cultivators. Looking ahead, Combat Soul warriors could be seen everywhere, and Divine Core warriors were as many as the hairs on an ox.
A Combat Soul warrior was a supreme existence who stood on top of the Eastern Continent, and no matter where one went, one would receive unprecedented welcome and respect. However, in this place, they were just like ordinary townsfolk, as if there was nothing special about them.
A towering and grand city entrance was in sight. It didn’t have a door, and a huge golden plate seen hanging on top of the entrance. Two exquisite words were craved onto this plate, [Hongyue City]
Hongyue had the meaning of a city prosperous for ten thousand years and heard by many. Even Jiang Chen was amazed by the excellent name of the city.
A few guards were stationed on both sides of the entrance, calling people to pay the entrance fee.
“Hurry up! One Earth Restoration Pill per entry!”
The leading guard called out with a loud voice.
“Damn it, the Hongyue City Lord is so unkind! He has increased the entry fee to one Earth Restoration Pill!”
“Don’t complain about it. We have to carry out our business in this city, so we have no choice but to pay. It’s only one Earth Restoration Pill, we can still afford it.”
“It would be nice if we could find a place to stay in the city. With that, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee.”
“Stop dreaming! The cost of staying in Hongyue City is too expensive! There is no way we can afford to stay here!”
…………
Many people were whispering amongst themselves, as they felt that the entrance fee was too expensive. However, as a trade hub, many power had to come to Hongyue City to carry out their business. Thus, they had no choice but to pay the hefty price.
“Hehe, I’m sure the City Lord is filthy rich after from obtaining his wealth like this. Why don’t we sneak into this City Lord’s mansion and steal something? Kaka…”
Big Yellow started laughing in a vicious manner as his eyes lit up. Before he had even stepped into the city, had already started planning his evil plot against the City Lord Mansion. Jiang Chen helplessly shook his head. Bringing this dog with him was like bringing a heap of trouble. If he had to find the being most capable of causing trouble, Big Yellow would definitely be the number one candidate.
However, Big Yellow’s words were actually quite tempting for Jiang Chen. By collecting one Earth Restoration Pill from every single person who entered the city, a tremendous wealth would accumulate over the years.
Although Jiang Chen had brought a huge amount of Mortal and Earth Restoration Pills from the Martial Saint Dynasty when he left, and he wasn’t lacking in resources, the Dragon Transformation skill would consume a huge amount of resources with every step of progress taken. Hence, he would never say no to more Earth Restoration Pills. And, it would be even better if he could have some Heaven Restoration Pills.
“You two, two Earth Restoration Pills.”
The guard shouted at Jiang Chen and Big Yellow.
“A dog has to pay as well?”
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.
