Chapter 125 - Teams
“One can’t go to the Sky Screen alone?” Di Jiu had just bought a jade slip, so he had not carefully read its contents yet.
When he heard Di Jiu’d question, Zheng Feisheng opened his mouth for a while before he eventually said, “Pal, you must not have understood what’s relevant about the Sky Screen. The Sky Screen is on the westernmost side of the Polar Night Continent, so even if a Golden Core cultivator entered it alone, they would have a 9:1 probability of dying. In other words, even if you passed, being alone could easily divert you from your goal. There is only one flying boat a month in the Granular Sand City, and this is only because the Sky Screen is about to open. Otherwise, there may not even have been a single flying boat for several years.”
It turned out that a flying boat was going to the Sky Screen from the Granular Sand City. This news was very useful for Di Jiu.
“How many Spirit Stones do you need to go to the Sky Screen?” Di Jiu estimated that the price would not be too low. If it were, these people would not be teaming up.
Zheng Feisheng sighed and said, “If you live in a common area, it’s not very expensive. As long as you have 10,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones…”
“It’s that expensive?” Di Jiu was surprised.
10,000 Chinese Spirit Stones was a very small amount for him right now, as he had made a fortune by robbing the Qi Family. This amount of Spirit Stones, however, was too high for ordinary cultivators, both stray and not.
Zheng Feisheng smiled. “Expensive? That’s actually very cheap. You need 5,000 top-grade Spirit Stones for a single cubicle. Slightly better single cabins cost 20,000. Big cabins with several separate cultivation rooms cost at least 40,000 top-grade Spirit Stones. If we got five people to share a room, each person would just need to pay 8,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.”
Di Jiu was not naive. Zheng Feisheng’s big cabin was actually just a room for rich cultivators that included a pet room, a living room, a cultivation room and an alchemy room.
He thought that Zheng Feisheng was right. If he looked for a room alone, he would probably be targeted.
Although Di Jiu would not have been afraid anywhere else, he did not want to start a fight at this place, so he had to keep a low profile. In the event that someone found out something and contacted the Qi Family’s Essence Soul, he would not be able to escape.
“Alright, Daoist Zimo is straightforward!” Zheng Feisheng said joyfully.
It was really hard to find an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator willing to team up with them in this small remote city. At first, the four of them had decided that if they did not find someone, they would share a large room for four people. In that case, each person would have to pay 1,000 or 2,000 top-grade Spirit Stones, which would be a big expense for them.
He didn’t know that Di Jiu was only one step away from the late-stage Foundation Establishment. If he had known, he would definitely not have asked him to join their team.
…
The Granular Sand City was not too far away from the Brook Border City, so it took Zheng Feisheng’s top-grade flying boat half a day to reach the Granular Sand City.
A giant flying boat was parked outside the city so that anyone who came would definitely see it.
“This flying boat travels to the Sky Screen. There are still several days left before it departs. We will buy tickets first and then get some necessities in the Granular Sand City. If we don’t, we will pay at least 5 to 10 times more for the same items on the flying boat.” Zheng Feisheng had a higher cultivation level than Jing Mobing, Qi Shao and Wang Zheng. He was a second-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he was their leader most of the time.
“I’m going to buy the tickets. Give me the Spirit Stones. I need 8,800 top-grade Spirit Stones per person.” After Zheng Feisheng spoke, he looked at Di Jiu and explained, “Everyone has to pay an extra 800 top-grade Spirit Stones to buy a boarding pass. Otherwise, we will not be able to get on the flying boat.”
Di Jiu could tell that the other man was worried that he did not have the Spirit Stones. However, 8,000 to 9,000 top-grade Spirit Stones were nothing for him. He didn’t have to say anything. He just took out a big bag and handed it to Zheng Feisheng. Inside the bag were 8,800 top-grade Spirit Stones.
“Daoist Zimo is very generous.” Zheng Feisheng gave him a thumbs-up. When he collected everyone’s Spirit Stones, he walked over to the ticket booth.
Di Jiu read the ticket prices on the outside of the booth. Big cabins with multiple rooms cost 40,000 top-grade Spirit Stones at best.
He suddenly understood why Zheng Feisheng could not find people for his team. Team information was pasted all around the surrounding areas. It seemed that it was not easy to find teammates here.
Zheng Feisheng was very quick. He actually bought the tickets in a very short time. Although many people were going to the Sky Screen, a flying boat left from the Granular Sand City every month, so finding tickets was not particularly difficult.
Zheng Feisheng handed Di Jiu a boarding pass. “Here’s your room ticket, Daoist Zimo. We have Room 31 on the second floor. Now let’s go to the Granular Sand City to buy what we need. We’ll gather in Room 31 on the second floor when the time comes.”
