"There is still time. Let us take him to the city lord before we can do anything about this." Hu Jing said.
Liu Feng looked at all of them with some fear now. He regretted saying what he did. Now, he was at the mercy of people who could control him in the palm of their hand.
"Do we even know if he can use the Yuan Principle? We cannot disturb the city lord without some proper reason. Make him show the principle." one of the men called out.
Liu Feng felt a little light headed. On one hand, he could say that he was lying. But that would risk angering them, and he could lose his life.
But if he did show the principle, then he would be forced to go to this Yuan Mountain, and it would be dangerous.
"Either way, it is going to be dangerous. But if I show them the Yuan principle, then I can haggle for a few resources, and I can try and grow stronger. That way, I will survive the upcoming expedition." Liu Feng decided.
He opened his hand, and the Yuan Principle started dancing around his hand. All of the men and women in the tavern stopped speaking and glared at Liu Feng's hand.
"It is true. The Yuan Principle. With this at the entrance, we will be able to stop the huge pressure and actually enter the mountain!" the first man said with an emotional tone.
"We have a chance to see the outer world! We need to tell the city lord immediately!" another pitched in.
"You brutes will kill him with your rough hands. I will take this little brother there myself." Hu Jing stopped anyone from coming forward and jumped out of her counter to stand next to Liu Feng.
She stood in front of me like she was protecting me from the others. But Liu Feng just met her, and was unsure of her intentions.
"Either way, I cannot control what is going to happen." Liu Feng thought.
The two of them left the tavern and headed to the tallest building in the city.
In this city of heavens, the tallest building seemed to touch the skies itself. Years of science and technology from earth couldn't compare to sheer power.
They entered the building with no trouble. Surprisingly, there was not a guard in sight. People were just rushing in, and went to the teleportation array to go to where they wanted.
Almost every single person who went in glanced at Liu Feng. It was not every day that they saw someone who was this weak.
One of them even commented at him.
"Sister Jing'er. Who is this person? Why are you babysitting someone who could not even get to the gold level? This is just a waste of your time." he said.
Liu Feng did not even have the patience to respond. He was sick of this comment.
"This is not just a normal person, brother. This is someone who has in his hands, the power of the Yuan Principle. Apparently, he has come from the Stairway of heavens. This is a serious issue, and we might be going to the Yuan Mountain in this generation. I am going to the city lord even though she told us not to disturb her just for this reason." Hu Jing said seriously.
For the first time, Liu Feng heard that someone that high up in the top was a woman. He knew that the cultivation world was dominated by men, and it was interesting that the strongest person here was a woman.
The man that commented first stepped back with shock.
"This man knows how to command the Yuan Principle? I think that the Yuan principle is strong enough to cover the gap between the silver and gold levels!" the man said.
"Wait, what? I might have a chance against the Nascent Soul Cultivators? I think that I will have a chance with them as long as I can perfectly learn how to use it in battle." Liu Feng thought to himself as he continued following Hu Jing.
They entered the teleportation portal, and Hu Jing took out a special plate. This was something that not everyone clearly had.
And then, she took out the spirit stone to power the array.
The stone that she took out shone brighter than any other thing that Liu Feng had ever seen before. And he knew exactly what it was. It was a mid level spirit stone, and it was very, very precious.
To think that something that precious was being used as material for a teleportation portal. No wonder these people were so strong. They were teeming in resources.
"As long as I get in their good books, I should be able to get enough resources to get to the Nascent Soul realm with ease." Liu Feng told himself.
The teleportation portal's runes appeared, and then, the two people disappeared to the high end of the tower.
"It takes so much energy to get to the top of the tower. Electricity is truly a godsend on earth. This is not economical. To think that they are using spirit stones like cabbages." Liu Feng's heart ached when Hu Jing used a spirit stone like that.
But then, when they came to the floor that they needed to get to, she still had the spirit stone in her hands, and there was still a lot of energy in the stone.
The spirit stone was reusable. Liu Feng saw this and sighed. Or else, it would be too wasteful.
Then, Liu Feng turned his attention to where he was. He could see that there was a window to the outside world, and whatever it was made of, it was a precious material.
Liu Feng could just feel it.
"I am at the top of the city!" he whispered to himself with glee. This was a sight to see.
