Chapter 318 - Entering Boundless Heaven (3)

Under the middle-aged man's guidance, Quill quickly arrived at the small village at the foot of the mountain.

It was a small village with only a dozen households. Leng Ruoxue and the others' arrival attracted almost everyone in the village. Dozens of eyes were looking at them curiously, but no one dared to approach.

"Stop surrounding us. They are my esteemed guests. Don't scare them," the middle-aged man said.

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the surrounding villagers immediately left.

"Hehe, please don't mind. We rarely have outsiders here," the middle-aged man said apologetically.

"It's alright," Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly with a light smile. Although it didn't feel good to be watched as a rare animal, she could see that the villagers were very simple, so she didn't care much. In addition, she found that those villagers were actually spiritualists. What was going on? Her heart was full of question marks!

The middle-aged man led Leng Ruoxue and the others to a small yard and said slightly embarra.s.sedly, "Everyone, this is my home. I hope you don't mind."

"It doesn't matter. We often camp in the wilderness," Leng Ruoxue said indifferently while looking at the middle-aged man's home. This house… was very simple. There was only a stone table and a few stone benches in the yard and not a single piece of decent furniture in the house.

"Please have a seat here." The middle-aged man pointed at the stone benches.

"Okay." Leng Ruoxue and the others followed the host's arrangements and found a place to sit in the yard.

The middle-aged man turned to his son. "Ming'er, quickly go make some food for our esteemed guests."

"There's no need to trouble yourselves. Tell us in detail about the situation here!" Leng Ruoxue said.

"Okay." The middle-aged man sat down beside them and then introduced the basic situation of the Boundless Heaven Continent to them.

After about two hours, Leng Ruoxue and the others finally had a basic understanding of this continent.

This Boundless Heaven Continent was vast, approximately twice the size of the Ling Feng Continent. There were no countries on the continent; it was all cities. But the three largest cities on the continent had always been controlled by the Three Great Families for many years. The Three Great Families were mainly the Leng family, the Lan family, and the Sun family. These three families were fully deserving of being the hegemons on the Boundless Heaven Continent. Their power and status were so great that others could only look up to them.

Moreover, the people on this continent were born with the ability to cultivate spiritual power and become spiritualists. However, the spiritualists in this world could only be considered ordinary people. If they wanted to stand out and be respected on the continent, they had to become mystics. Mystics were the most honorable profession on the continent. But the chance of becoming a mystic was only one in ten thousand.

"Miss Leng, I have a map of the Boundless Heaven Continent here for you." After the middle-aged man finished explaining, he went to his room to take a slightly yellowed map and handed it to Leng Ruoxue.

"Thank you." Leng Ruoxue took the map and stored it directly in her ring. This map was currently what she needed the most.

"Big Brother Wu, how can I become a mystic?" Leng Ruoxue asked.

"Hehe, Miss Leng, if you want to become a mystic, you have to go to the Mystic a.s.sociation. There will be specialists there to guide you. But converting your spiritual power into mystic power isn't easy," the middle-aged man, Wu Kai, reminded.

"Is there a Mystic a.s.sociation in the nearest town?" Leng Ruoxue continued asking.

"Yes, but the Mystic a.s.sociation there is very small. If you want to convert your spiritual power, I suggest you go to a larger branch. That way, the success rate will be higher," Wu Kai reminded.

"It's okay. We're just going to take a look. Big Brother Wu, we won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye." Leng Ruoxue prepared to leave after getting what she wanted to know.

"Okay. May we see each other again," Wu Kai said politely.

"Okay." Leng Ruoxue and the others nodded, sat on Quill's back, and flew toward the nearest town.

Quill was very fast. Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at their destination, Windless City, in just three days.

Windless City wasn't big, but it was connected to the three main cities. It belonged to the Sun family of the Three Great Families, and the city lord of Windless City was from one of the affiliated families of the Sun family.

Outside the city gate, Leng Ruoxue and the others jumped off Quill's back and were about to enter the city on foot when the soldiers guarding the city gate stopped them.

"Please pay the entrance fee. Fifty amethyst coins per person," one of the soldiers said coldly.

"Uh!" Leng Ruoxue and the others were stunned. It was really too despicable to charge fifty amethyst coins for the entrance fee of such a small city.

One had to know that the common currencies of the Boundless Heaven Continent were amethyst coins and purple gold coins. The exchange rate between amethyst coins and purple gold coins was 100: 1. There were eight of them in total, and if each person had to pay 50 amethyst coins, then they would need 400 amethyst coins, equivalent to 4 purple gold coins.

Leng Ruoxue had always thought that she wasn't in need of money. But she would probably become poor soon with this way of spending money.

"Here." Leng Ruoxue resigned herself to paying. She took out 400 amethyst coins and handed them to the soldiers guarding the gate.

Alas! We're new here! Boohoo…

After entering the city, Leng Ruoxue and the others were surprised to find that the city was quite bustling despite being small. The streets were rather busy and crowded as people came and went.

"La.s.s, when we're stronger in the future, we can build a city and be the city lord to play. We'll charge everyone one hundred amethyst coins for entering the city," Old Zao said emotionally. This money was really too easy to earn.

"Do you think it's so easy to be a city lord!" Old Man said disdainfully.

"Tch, I didn't say I wanted to be the city lord. I just want to collect money," Old Zao said nonchalantly.

"Then you can just be a city guard. What city lord!" Old Man argued.

"You…"

"Stop arguing. We're about to reach the Mystic a.s.sociation. Don't let others laugh at you," Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
