Chapter 106: Staying in the Same Room
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Five hundred fruits were not too many. They fit in one small bag.
Liu Yi and Lu Li dressed up. Liu Yi had a light veil covering her face and wore a gorgeous dress. Lu Li changed into a shiny armor with a helmet to disguise as Liu Yi’s escort.
Patriarch Seven had a patriarch that rarely went out and several warriors of the Xuan Wu Realm to send Liu Yi and Lu Li to the God-down Island on their battleship.
The God-down Island was grander than the Sundown Island. Everyone could get onto the God-down Island. Lu Li and Liu Yi got off their ship and walked to the inside of the island directly. They arrived at the God-down City within an hour.
The God-down City was magnificent, so much bigger than the Wu Ling County. The population in the city was large, probably at least more than 100,000. The streets were crowded with a never-ending flow of people and vehicles.
Guardsmen of the God-down Island could be seen both outside of the city and on the streets. They wore shiny armors. Surprisingly, every team was led by a warrior of the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. God-down Island was worthy as a Fourth-rank force with so many powerful warriors.
According to the order of Patriarch Seven, Lu Li rented a luxurious carriage when they got inside the city. Then they went to a regal tavern in the city. Their afternoon was spent by walking up and down a busy street in the city…
Liu Yi had a blast. However, Lu Li was always carefully observing their surroundings to see if someone was following them.
The God-down City was so big and prosperous. There were a lot of bizarre things in the city. So many things Lu Li had never seen before. It was really an eye-opener for the two.
What was the most impressive for the two were the warriors in the city. There were so many of them. Warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm could be seen everywhere. The two even ran into several warriors of the Soul Pond Realm…
At night, the two set off to the plaza in the center of the city. They went directly towards an ancient and plain-looking Teleportation Altar that was surrounded by many warriors.
“This is the Teleportation Formation!”
Lu Li’s eyes sparkled. The only way to get to Central Plains was to take the Teleportation Formation. To find Lu Ling in the Cyan Plains would also take the Teleportation Formation. It was the first time Lu Li saw one of those.
“Halt!”
Before they got any closer, guardsmen of the God-down Island circled around. A middle-aged man at the latter stage of the Spirit Sea Realm looked at the two with great alarm and said, “Don’t get near here. Leave!”
Before Liu Yi said anything, Lu Li stepped in front of her and said, “My lady is going to take the Teleportation Formation to the Heaven Prison Island. Is there a problem?”
“Oh?”
The middle-aged warrior glanced over them and answered, “You can take it. But it will be 1000 Xuan Crystals per person!”
Two thousand Xuan Crystals could buy a lot of Mystical Materials and pellets. It was really a high price to take the Teleportation Formation. Lu Li didn’t mind it at all. After all, the Xuan Crystals spent were not his. He took a bag of Xuan Crystals that were prepared for them from the inside pocket of his robe and threw it to the warrior, “Activate the Teleportation Formation.”
The middle-aged man took over the Xuan Crystals. He did not activate the Teleportation Formation, however. Instead, he asked, “Which Family are you two from? Do you have ID Tokens?”
Liu Yi was alarmed. But Lu Li kept his calmness. He said coldly, “Why are you asking so many questions? Will you teleport us or not? If not, give me back my Xuan Crystals. We will not take it. Do you doubt that we are going to make some trouble at the Heaven Prison Island?”
Lu Li’s last sentence worked. The middle-aged warrior let his guard down. What was the Heaven Prison Island? Who dared to make a sense at the Heaven Prison Island? Perhaps disciples of the five Royal Families didn’t have the courage to do it.
“Activate the Teleportation Formation!”
Lu Li’s act made the middle-aged warrior think Liu Yi was a lady from a Big Family. He was afraid to offend her by asking more questions. The warrior waved his hand and the more than a dozen warriors nearby clapped their hands together and pour Xuan Energy into the Teleportation Formation. At the same time, they took some crystals out and put them in the groove of the altar.
Lu Li and Liu Yi walked inside. They two had straight faces even though they were nervous inside. They had never taken a Teleportation Formation before. They were afraid that should something go wrong, they would be strangled to death.
“Buzzing!”
The Teleportation Formation gave out rays of light. Then the rays of light shoot up to the sky which lit up the entire plaza. Many people were startled. They glanced over with curiosity, trying to see which big figure was that. The ones that could take the Teleportation Formation were no ordinary people.
Many looked over and only saw two young people. The lady’s face was covered with a veil, but they only got one look before the light of the Teleportation Formation devoured the two and the two disappeared into the Teleportation Formation.
The plaza instantly got noisy. Many were guessing which family the lady was from. If it were not a lady from some significant family, who dared to squander 2000 Xuan Crystals to take the Teleportation Formation?
…
“Ew~”
In one of the Teleportation Formations in the Heaven Prison City plaza, a ray of light came out and two figures emerged. Then the two people felt weak in their knees. They got down on the ground in the Teleportation Formation and started vomiting.
The two just now felt dizzy as if they were spinning for tens of thousands of circles. They almost passed out. When they got to the ground, their stomachs were upset. They couldn’t hold back the vomiting. Luckily, it had been some time since they had supper. Otherwise, the ground would be covered with their vomit.
“Squeak, squeak~”
Little White that was hiding in Lu Li’s robe experienced nothing. It stuck half of its head out and squeaked out of concern. Lu Li was not okay leaving Little White alone at the Blood Dragon Island so he carried it around.
“Are you done vomiting? If yes, leave!”
A cold voice came up. The two looked up and saw a group of warriors in grey armors staring at them coldly. Lu Li tried to sense the qi and energy of the warrior who did the talking. Lu Li was shocked as he realized the warrior was at the Soul Pond Realm.
The Heaven Prison Island was powerful indeed. Soul Pond Realm warriors were used to guard the Teleportation Formation? Lu Li tried hard to hold back his vomiting and hid Little White. Then, he helped Liu Yi up and walked towards the outside.
A few glances to the scene in front of him shocked Lu Li again. Ahead of them were giant stone fortresses one after another. Everyone was more than 100 feet in height and more than 1000 feet in width. They were all imposing and magnificent.
After they walked for a bit, Liu Yi felt better. She had taken off her veil for some time now, but she still looked pale.
“Let’s find a tavern and have some rest.”
Lu Li said in a low voice. Liu Yi nodded. It was after dark. They had to wait till the next day to sell the Blood Caterpillar Fruits.
The two walked around and found a big fortress that had the word Heaven Prison Tavern written on the outside. They looked around and only found this one tavern so they walked towards it.
The waiter was polite. His smile was so delightful that it made people feel like bathing in the spring wind. Lu Li and Liu Yi were shown to the counter. A fat tavern-keeper said with a smile, “Do you want to check in here? Do you need Heaven Grade, Earth Grade or Human Grade rooms?’
Lu Li said randomly, “Two Heaven Grade rooms.”
“Okay!” The tavern-keeper said with a smile, “That will be 300 Xuan Crystals all together.”
“What?”
Lu Li and Liu Yi thought they had heard it wrong. Liu Yi asked in disbelief, “How much? 300 Xuan Crystals? You sure it’s Xuan Crystal not Golden Leaf?”
They just wanted to check in at a tavern. They didn’t expect to pay Xuan Crystals. Three hundred? They only spent 2000 when they took the Teleportation Formation.
The tavern-keeper kept smiling and explained, “All the taverns in the Heaven Prison City need Xuan Crystals. This is the Heaven Prison City, the king city of the Thousand-island Lake. It is not possible if you want to pay with Golden Leaves. In the Heaven Prison City, Golden Leaves are hardly of any use. For most things, you pay with Xuan Crystals.”
The waiter had a good attitude as well. He didn’t mock them because they came from a small place. The waiter added, “Inside our Heaven Grade rooms, there is a Xuan Energy Aggregation Formation. The speed of cultivation can be five times faster in there. That is why we require so many Xuan Crystals.”
“Five times? That’ll explain it…”
Lu Li and Liu Yi felt embarrassed. Lu Li said apologetically, “Sorry, we are from a small town. We don’t understand the rules here. Sorry about that. How much is the Human Grade room?”
The tavern keeper still answered with politeness, “Twenty Xuan Crystals per night. The speed of cultivation is two times faster. Also, our stuff can provide you with any information of the Heaven Prison City. Of course… basic information.”
“Information?”
Lu Li and Liu Yi’s eyes lit up. They knew nothing about the Heaven Prison City—they were absolutely clueless. If they could get some basic information, for instance, where to sell the Blood Caterpillar Fruits, at least they wouldn’t get defrauded.
“Lu Li, just one room then.”
Liu Yi thought about it and said shyly. They didn’t have too many Xuan Crystals left. What they brought with them was more than half of the Xuan Crystals left in the Liu Family. If they wasted too much and they couldn’t sell the Blood Caterpillar Fruits, they would have to swim back to the Blood Dragon Island…
