"Fellow Daoist Lu Qing, is that right? Not bad, not bad."
The entrance fee is one hundred low-grade spirit stones or one mid-grade spirit stone per person.
Your two spirit pets are demon core realm spirit beasts, and you also need to pay the fee.
"Would you like to give me low-grade spirit stones or mid-grade spirit stones?"
The slightly overweight old man smiled.
However, they did not inquire about the specific name of Lu Qing's hometown world, nor did they ask him about his purpose in coming to the Tianyuan Great World.
"This junior will give you a mid-grade spirit stone."
Hearing that the entrance fee alone would cost three mid-grade spirit stones, Lu Qing felt a pang of pain in his heart.
After this long journey, he had very few spirit stones left.
The low-grade spirit stones have long been used up, and there are only a few mid-grade spirit stones left.
I never expected that just entering the city would require paying three mid-grade spirit stones.
Despite feeling a pang of regret, Lu Qing said nothing and respectfully took out three spirit stones and handed them over.
"Don't be so distressed. If you want to enter the Lesser Cang Realm, you will need to use the teleportation array."
The cost of teleporting once is not small.
"Charging you only one mid-grade spirit stone is already very cheap."
The slightly plump old man smiled and skillfully put away the spirit stones, then took out three jade talismans.
"This jade talisman is your entry and teleportation pass. The teleportation array is in the center of the city."
Remember, no violence is allowed in the city.
As for what happens after entering the Lesser Cang Realm, that's no longer my concern.
Xiao Cangjie is the name of the small world that Lu Qing wants to enter.
"Thank you, senior."
Lu Qing respectfully accepted the jade talisman, bowed to the old man, and then led Xiao Li and the others into the city.
As he watched Lu Qing's retreating figure, a strange light appeared in the slightly overweight old man's eyes.
"An ordinary mid-grade Golden Core cultivator at the third stage, yet he was accompanied by two spirit beasts at the Demon Core realm."
Furthermore, those two spirit beasts seemed to be carrying secret treasures that could conceal their aura.
Cultivation level is not as simple as a low-grade demon core of the first stage.
Is this young man a direct descendant of a powerful clan or a prominent family from some great world, or perhaps a direct bloodline of a Nascent Soul cultivator, out here for training?
After thinking for a while, the slightly overweight old man shook his head and stopped investigating.
His current role is merely that of a gatekeeper.
As long as the person who comes isn't one of those demon bastards on the other side, he won't investigate their background.
Whether Lu Qing is a disciple of an immortal sect from another great world, or a direct descendant of a powerful primordial spirit, it doesn't matter.
They could even be described as wanted criminals from some other world.
None of this has anything to do with him.
In any case, a mere Golden Core cultivator can't possibly turn the tide.
If something really goes wrong, others will naturally step in.
His job was simply to guard the city gates and collect entrance fees.
Let others handle the rest.
He doesn't have many years left to live; he should enjoy the rest of his days.
"It seems that even a Nascent Soul Realm expert would find it difficult to see through my disguise."
Meanwhile, Lu Qing, who had already entered the city, breathed a sigh of relief.
He had made ample preparations for this trip into the city.
First and foremost is his own cultivation level.
His perfect golden core is too mysterious; if it were discovered, it's hard to say what would happen.
Therefore, before he arrived, he had already used the innate ability of the Perfect Golden Core, which is formless, shapeless, and ever-changing.
The power of the magic golden pill was reduced to the level of a mid-grade golden pill.
At the same time, he also drew a talisman on Xiao Li's and Wu Xing's demon cores respectively.
The talisman was created by him by drawing upon the formless and shapeless transformation abilities of his own perfect golden core.
They also possess the ability to disguise their cultivation level and change their aura.
Now it seems that the profound mysteries gleaned from the perfect golden elixir are indeed extraordinary.
Even a powerful being with a primordial spirit would find it difficult to see through his transformation methods.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the old man was only sensing their aura with his soul.
If the old man were to personally take action, using his divine soul and magical power to enter Lu Qing's body, he could examine the golden cores and demon cores of the three.
It seems that, apart from Lu Qing, Xiao Li and the others' superior-grade demon cores will soon reveal their true forms and will no longer be able to hide them.
However, on the other hand, using one's spiritual power to enter another's body and forcibly probe their magical core is a major taboo.
No practitioner could endure such a humiliating probing.
Tianyuan World would never violate such a taboo.
Otherwise, it would be fine for ordinary cultivators.
What if one day, by some accident, you offend a disciple from another great world, or even a powerful being of the primordial spirit realm?
That would be inviting enemies for no reason.
Lu Qing understood this point, which is why he imbued Xiao Li and the Five Elements' demon cores with concealment and transformation talismans.
In that case, even if the old man sensed something amiss with Xiao Li and the others' auras, he generally wouldn't forcefully examine their demon cores.
After all, there are quite a few cultivators who like to conceal their aura and act discreetly.
As long as it's not a demonic cultivator infiltrating, there shouldn't be any problems.
Just as Lu Qing had expected, the old man, though he noticed something amiss, still allowed them to enter smoothly.
"We've passed the first hurdle smoothly. Next, we'll take the teleportation array to enter the small world."
Lu Qing played with the jade talisman in his hand.
This jade talisman is not only a permit to enter the city, but also a permit to enter the Lesser Cang Realm.
Although the Starry Sky City was magnificent, Lu Qing did not linger there for long.
After entering the city, he took Xiao Li and Wu Xing and headed straight for the center of the city.
Before long, they arrived at the center of the city.
There stood a huge jade platform, engraved with mysterious runes, forming a massive magic array.
Before the jade platform, there were more than ten people waiting, each with an extraordinary aura.
Apart from a few young people who seemed to be accompanying their elders to broaden their horizons.
The vast majority of people have at least the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm.
Lu Qing even saw one of the middle-aged men, whose aura was as deep and unfathomable as a mountain, giving him a faint sense of danger.
He felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that the other party must also be a powerful being at the Nascent Soul stage.
Lu Qing's arrival naturally attracted the attention of others.
When I first saw that he was only a mid-grade Golden Core cultivator at the third level, I didn't pay too much attention to him.
When they saw Xiao Li being held in his arms, and Wu Xing lying on his shoulder, their expressions changed slightly.
After all, spirit pets at the Golden Core stage are quite rare.
Especially considering that Lu Qing's cultivation level doesn't seem very high, he can actually carry two Golden Core Realm spirit pets with him.
His background and identity are probably quite unusual.
Even so, no one said anything. After glancing at Lu Qing a few times, they went back to their own business.
On the contrary, on the jade platform, there was a young man wearing precious armor who also had the cultivation of the Golden Core Realm.
Seeing Lu Qing approach, he said, "Are you all also going to enter the Lesser Cang Realm? You'll have to wait a while longer. We can only activate the teleportation array after we have thirty people."
After learning more, Lu Qing finally understood.
It turns out that the Star City teleportation array is not always open.
It will only start once a minimum of thirty people are gathered.
Lu Qing understood this.
Each time a teleportation array is activated, it consumes a considerable amount of resources, so it's impossible to activate it rashly just for one or two people.
In that case, the mid-grade spirit stone they paid might not even be enough to cover the cost of one teleportation array session.
However, this suited Lu Qing's wishes perfectly, as he was just looking for an excuse to linger here a little longer.
Therefore, after thanking the armored youth, Lu Qing found a corner, sat down cross-legged, and silently adjusted his breathing while waiting.
Xiao Li snuggled into his arms, while Wu Xing slipped into the hood of his robe.
After a long period of silence, and sensing that no one was paying attention to her anymore, Lu Qing quietly opened her eyes.
With a hint of excitement in his eyes, he looked toward the teleportation platform.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Of course, he wasn't looking at the jade platform itself, but rather at the incredibly profound runes and arrays engraved on it.
His heart trembled the moment he first saw the runes on the teleportation platform.
It's just that it's not appropriate to show it in front of so many powerful people.
He had originally been thinking about how to find a reason to properly observe and learn from this experience.
Unexpectedly, the teleportation platform only opens when a sufficient number of people are gathered, which presents him with a tremendous opportunity.
"Teleportation array..."
Lu Qing felt a surge of excitement and silently activated his supernatural ability, looking at those mysterious runes.
Before long, a rich purple light of supernatural power emerged from the teleportation platform, and several messages floated out.
【Teleportation Jade Platform: A magical artifact inscribed with a teleportation array, capable of spatial teleportation.】
【Teleportation arrays involve spatial laws, and are difficult to master unless one possesses profound knowledge of array formations.】
【This teleportation platform is a directional teleportation artifact; it can only teleport you to a fixed location.】
【This teleportation platform is a short-range teleportation artifact; the teleportation distance is limited.】
【Inheritance discovered. Should we perform a download simulation?】
...
When he saw the last message on the note, a faint smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.
I then selected to download.
【Downloading, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.】
【Download complete. Would you like to run a simulation?】
Lu Qing then chose simulation.
【Simulation in progress, current progress 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.】
【Simulation complete. Would you like to proceed with the learning process?】
Lu Qing looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him.
He reached out and patted Xiao Li's head, then transmitted his voice through his soul: "Xiao Li, protect me for a moment and keep an eye on the surroundings."
Xiao Li's ears twitched slightly. Years of tacit understanding told it that A Qing was definitely preparing to comprehend something again.
It didn't move, but simply hummed softly with its soul to indicate that it understood.
Lu Qing then chose to study and closed his eyes.
The next moment, a wealth of insights surged from the depths of my mind.
Lu Qing skillfully received and comprehended this information, entering a deep state of cultivation.
Half an hour later, Lu Qing opened his eyes, his eyes filled with amazement.
"This teleportation array is truly profound! It can actually manipulate the laws of space with the power of the array to achieve spatial teleportation."
Lu Qing was deeply shocked.
It should be understood that the Dao of Space is extremely profound. Even a powerful being in the Primordial Spirit realm needs to be a senior being who has traveled a long way in the Primordial Spirit realm.
Only then are they qualified to comprehend the profound and mysterious laws of space.
But this teleportation array doesn't require such trouble.
As long as the formation can be accurately arranged, and the runes can be used to communicate with the laws of space and draw upon the power of space, spatial teleportation can be achieved.
"Although the Void Flying Boat has the ability to travel through the void, more than half of that ability is due to its unique material."
The array formations contained within are secondary.
However, this teleportation array is indeed real; it achieves teleportation by relying on the power of the array.
If I can fully comprehend it, my mastery of rune arrays will surely be greatly enhanced.
Even spirit talismans can officially enter the mid-stage of the 【Yang Talisman】 realm!
Lu Qing was pleasantly surprised.
I originally thought that I would only have a chance to find those profound inheritances if I entered the Tianyuan Great World.
Unexpectedly, he had already made such a gain before even officially entering the Lesser Cang Realm.
This further strengthened Lu Qing's resolve to enter the Tianyuan Great World.
With supernatural abilities, the vast world full of adventures and opportunities is his true supreme treasure land!
After a while, Lu Qing calmed down and closed his eyes to meditate again.
This teleportation array is extremely mysterious; he had only scratched the surface of it just now.
There's still a long way to go before I truly understand and master it.
Since we don't know how long it will take to gather enough people to activate the teleportation array, we might as well take this time to study it carefully.
"What has Ah Qing figured out that makes her so happy?"
Xiao Li, curled up in Lu Qing's arms, felt a little strange when she saw Lu Qing enter meditation again.
Although Lu Qing had concealed his emotional fluctuations well, he could not hide them from Xiao Li, who was nearby and had a keen sense of perception.
Based on its understanding of Lu Qing, it was clear that Lu Qing had just figured out something extraordinary.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so happy.
The following time passed quietly as Lu Qing silently pondered and comprehended the truth.
During this time, other powerful individuals continued to arrive at the teleportation platform.
Some people came over to chat and make friends, but after Lu Qing politely declined twice, the others wisely stopped coming over.
Several more days passed, and finally, thirty people gathered around the Jade Platform.
"Everyone, we have gathered thirty people. We can now activate the teleportation array. Please stand in the middle of the jade platform."
After waiting for another half day and seeing that no one else had come, the armored youth spoke.
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures waiting around all stood up and walked towards the center of the jade platform.
During this process, the cultivators who were not familiar with each other deliberately kept their distance.
Fortunately, the teleportation platform is large enough to accommodate thirty people even while maintaining distance.
Lu Qing opened her eyes, got up and walked forward.
But a faint joy stirred within me.
After several days of study, he has gained a profound understanding of teleportation arrays.
Once we have enough materials, we should be able to set up the formation.
"Everyone, the power of space is immense. Even with the protection of the array, discomfort is inevitable during the teleportation process. Please be careful."
After giving a few words of advice, the armored youth took out a token.
As his magical power surged in, the token immediately emitted a strange fluctuation.
The entire teleportation platform emitted bursts of light.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Qing felt a powerful spatial force suddenly appear, and a spatial vortex suddenly appeared, swallowing them all up.
