231: Chapter 231 Heading to Phoenix City

“I cannot accept a reward without merit!”

“Young Master Yun's words make this young lady feel truly ashamed!”

Seeing that Yun Chenfei insisted on giving all the rewards for capturing the Snow Spirit Beast to her, Lü Wenjing spoke with an embarrassed expression.

After all, who wouldn't want free rewards? If she accepted them like that, it would look rather unseemly.

“Miss Lü, please do not decline. I am counting on you to introduce me, an outsider Cultivator, to the City Lord of Fengming City.”

“Besides, I am a handsome man from the Southern Heaven Kingdom, all alone and new to your country. I am unfamiliar with the area; what if I get lost or get kidnapped by bad people?”

Blinking his eyes, Yun Chenfei said with a narcissistic expression.

With strength so unfathomable, who could possibly kidnap you?

Lost?

Cultivators in the Returning Origin Realm can use their Divine Sense to discern directions. You are a great Cultivator of at least the Spirit Condensation Realm, and you tell me you are lost? Who would believe that!

“Pfft!”

“Young Master Yun is truly humorous!”

“I happen to be heading to Fengming City myself. If Young Master does not mind, let us travel together.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Wenjing realized that Yun Chenfei was giving her a way out, so she felt too embarrassed to decline again.

“Young Master Yun is not only thoughtful and gentle to others, but his personality is also very cheerful and generous. He also knows how to consider others' feelings; he is the perfect choice for a deep friendship.”

“I will take him to Fengming City. When the time comes, I simply won't take the reward for the Snow Spirit Beast.”

Looking at the smiling Yun Chenfei beside her, Lü Wenjing thought to herself.

“Ding! Favorability of Hundred Flowers Sect Personal Disciple Lü Wenjing towards you +10.”

“Tsk tsk!”

“This favorability is rising rapidly. If it keeps up like this, it won't be long before I can...”

Hearing the System's notification sound, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

“Young Master Yun, there is no time to lose. Let us set off for Fengming City now.”

Afterwards, Yun Chenfei put the Snow Spirit Beast into his Spirit Beast Bag and followed Lü Wenjing towards Fengming City.

On the way, Yun Chenfei also quietly collected Lü Wenjing's Opportunity for a seventh-rank elixir.

Three days later.

A majestic and imposing city appeared in Yun Chenfei's line of sight.

“Young Master Yun, flying and fighting are prohibited within Fengming City. Let us go down and walk into the city.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lü Wenjing landed in an open space not far from Fengming City.

Seeing this, Yun Chenfei also put away his purple blade immortal slaying sword and landed beside Lü Wenjing, then the two walked towards the city gate.

Suddenly, Yun Chenfei seemed to sense a subtle energy fluctuation, which seemed to be the aura of a Formation.

However, this feeling lasted only for an instant before it vanished, and he did not pay too much attention to it.

The city gate was bustling with people coming and going.

“Fengming City is the largest city in our Great Yan Kingdom, and also the largest trading market for Cultivators.”

“By the way, Young Master Yun, to enter Fengming City, one must pay one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone per person.”

“Furthermore, once it reaches the Hai hour at night, Fengming City will enforce a curfew. Anyone who has not checked into accommodation by then will be directly expelled from Fengming City.”

As they walked towards the city gate, Lü Wenjing spoke.

“Looking at this flow of people, Fengming City must earn quite a lot of Spirit Stones just from the head tax alone, right?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Chenfei said.

“Young Master Yun may not know, but in reality, these Spirit Stones are merely a drop in the bucket compared to the massive expenses of Fengming City. Its main income still comes from the various taxes within the city.”

“It is rumored that an ancient Vicious Beast is suppressed beneath Fengming City, and the ancient Formation used to suppress this Vicious Beast consumes nearly a million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones a day.”

Lü Wenjing explained.

No wonder Yun Chenfei sensed a faint, subtle aura the moment he approached; it turns out there really was a Formation present.

“Just two guards watching the city gate have the cultivation of the sixth-rank Spirit Condensation Realm; this Fengming City is truly not simple.”

After sensing the aura coming from the guards at the city gate, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

In the Southern Heaven Kingdom, a cultivation of the sixth-rank Spirit Condensation Realm is already enough to serve as an outer Elder for most Sects.

After the two paid two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones at the city gate, the guards handed them each a cyan token.

As soon as the cyan token was in hand, Yun Chenfei felt a gentle Spiritual Qi enter his body, and then a white light flashed on the token and vanished.

“With this token, you can check into an inn; otherwise, you must leave the city before the Hai hour!”

After seeing the white light flash on the token, the guards at the gate said nothing more.

“This token has a Restriction to detect identity. As long as the person touching the token is not one of our Human Cultivators, it will shine with a different color.”

Before Yun Chenfei could ask, Lü Wenjing explained in advance.

Subsequently, the two entered Fengming City.

As soon as they entered the city, a noisy and clamorous sound flooded their ears.

“Passersby, don't miss out! From Cultivation Techniques and Medicinal Pills to spirit food and spirit wine, we have everything!”

“Our shop is newly opened today, all items are 20% off!”

“Do you want to fight above your rank? Do you want to become the center of attention?”

“As long as you want to, come to our shop and take a look. The items here are absolutely honest, with no deception, and are genuine!”

Amidst the clamor and the surging crowd, Yun Chenfei felt as if he were on a bustling commercial street on Earth.

“With so many people, I wonder if there are any good Opportunities.”

Yun Chenfei thought to himself, then he condensed Purple Heavenly Thunder into his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

Looking around, most people had white Qi and green Luck. Even if there were occasionally a few people with blue or purple Luck, Yun Chenfei did not care for their Opportunities.

Afterwards, he stopped paying attention to the crowd and followed the slowly moving flow of people towards the center of the city.

An hour later, under Lü Wenjing's guidance, Yun Chenfei finally arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

After stating their purpose, the two were quickly invited into the reception hall.

At this moment, three men and two women were sitting in the reception hall.

Seeing the arrival of Yun Chenfei and Lü Wenjing, the few people only glanced at them and had no intention of striking up a conversation.

However, those three men kept secretly sizing up Lü Wenjing, as if they had never seen a beautiful woman before.

“I have been sitting here for half a day, and I haven't seen you look at me properly. As soon as this little flirtatious fox arrived, your eyes are about to pop out.”

This made the other two burly female Cultivators in the hall feel extremely jealous.

However, Lü Wenjing, who was being peeked at, had a calm expression and did not care at all, as if she were already used to it.

The moment he saw these two groups of people, Yun Chenfei understood that they must have also captured a Snow Spirit Beast and came to the City Lord's Mansion to claim the reward.

With a sixth-rank Snow Spirit Beast in hand, Yun Chenfei was not worried about these competitors.

Unless they could capture a Snow Spirit Beast above the sixth rank, but such a chance was very slim, almost negligible.
