Chapter 501 - 222: The Immortal Ship Between the Peaks! The Pavilion at the Mountain Summit! _5
The group landed on the wooden plank, the Jade Ship was conveniently stored in the Immortal Stone, and in front of them was a tidy street, with many inns and shops on either side.
Yuchi couldn’t help but look back, at his feet there might be an abyss thousands of feet deep; this town was actually built on a mountain top: "Isn’t this a waste of money... Probably for grandeur."
Of course, it wasn’t just the six people from Ascension Gate in front of them, there were many others from different sects, about twenty percent of the people were wearing masks, the remaining eighty percent were casually walking around, quite a number indeed, merely on this street alone there seemed to be thousands of people. Counting the people on another peak, it would be around three thousand.
"The scale is really quite grand."
The crowd bustled, Yuchi walked at the front, and the disciples followed behind him according to seniority, just like a game of hawk and chick.
"There should be quite a few ports similar to Cyan Mountain Port; this is the nearest one to us. Although it is a bit remote, if a sect can’t even reach Cyan Mountain Port, that’s quite pitiful..."
"I just don’t know how many people will actually participate in this grand Ascension competition in the end? I guess not too many, most people should be here for fun, I even see some male disciples and female disciples..."
"Are they here to do business?"
Yuchi covered Shen Qinghan’s eyes: "Kids aren’t allowed to see this..."
Shen Qinghan: "..."
She was just eagerly preparing to watch a wild skirmish happening in the corner, but the Sect Leader Senior Brother covered her eyes... Why can other junior sisters watch but not me, the senior sister!
Sect Leader Senior Brother, you are biased.
The identity of the host was unknown, but the hospitality of the host was not a problem, as they provided a lot of free food and accommodations, without any particular requirements for the cultivators.
Anyway, as long as you register, whether you just come to stroll around or to really compete, you can come, and we will cover the final expenses.
So many cultivators really just came to loaf around, even quite a few disciples came to do business. Yuchi clearly saw a male disciple who looked quite powerful, taking some Spirit Stones from a female disciple, then taking her to a nearby inn.
The male disciple’s eyes showed a bit of despair, especially when he saw the greedy look of the female disciple, but he couldn’t resist since he was offered so much gold and silver. It’s hard for a cultivator to go far relying solely on oneself; cultivating to the end is about resources.
If the sect doesn’t have enough resources, then one must come out and make money oneself.
This is not shameful.
"Tsk, is this the benefit of strong cultivation? Even dual cultivation can be charged for... Should I get into this too? Maybe even get it for free," Yuchi thought amusedly.
And just as he was thinking, a spicy young girl walked over, good heavens, this spicy female disciple, unknown how much power she wielded, looked quite formidable, directly came in front of Yuchi, and with a smile, asked: "Little brother, for just one hundred taels, I can enhance your cultivation."
"How much cultivation do you have?" Yuchi blurted out.
"Foundation Establishment stage three, proficient in various cultivation techniques!"
"..."
Yuchi turned around and left, thinking tragically: So this is the inflated market price! I can find a Courtesan for one hundred taels, why play with you? Your price is too high.
The other disciples were very satisfied with their Sect Leader Senior Brother’s action, as this female disciple was preparing to catch up and negotiate the price, they all collectively turned their heads and glared at this female disciple.
Female disciple: "Goodness, this already had a prior commitment, ran into a competitor! Quite skillful at business... Five at once, can you manage that?"
After mocking Yuchi a couple of times, she continued with her business.
...
Under the arrangement of the disciples from the host, Yuchi and others checked into an inn, with two or three days to spare, no rush needed, the timing was just right, not too much and not too little.
Yuchi had one room for himself, Feiling, Qingzhu, and Shanlan sisters, each had a room too, but Dongran was different, she was a bit timid, and Shen Qinghan’s title as the senior sister came into play: Though our cultivation is lacking, we aren’t short on courage, she brought Dongran along to share a room, the two lived together.
Thus, there were five rooms in total, lined up along the corridor.
"Let’s rest for a while, after traveling for ten days, settle the inner Spiritual Qi."
"Alright Sect Leader Senior Brother, take care!"
Yuchi smiled and returned to his room.
The room’s decor was quite decent, in earlier times, it would have been considered a boutique style that tricked many investors, everything orderly, opening the window, Yuchi could also see the rugged mountains and the endless stream of cultivators on the street below.
"Some cultivators do indeed have a bit of attractiveness, if I weren’t still in kindergarten, I’d find a takeout myself."
Yuchi held a small teapot, pouring tea into his mouth, relaxed, blowing the mountain breeze, his hair on his head swaying in the wind, the young boy’s gaze gradually becoming astonished.
He saw a powerful cultivator taking a skinny cultivator to a nearby inn, remembering this was a painful memory: Could this really work? Isn’t it that only males and females can dual cultivate? This same gender, can also do business?
