The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2508: Chapter 2508: Totally Worth It

There are Array Masters coming to Hongmeng City for profit; the treatment offered to recruited Array Masters by Hongmeng City is extremely favorable. Some Array Masters come to Hongmeng City to improve their Array Dao level. The circles of Array Masters and Pill Masters aren’t vast; information spreads quickly and smoothly.

In short, the team of Array Masters in Hongmeng City is in a rapid expansion phase.

Certainly, Hongmeng City does indeed require many Array Masters. Expanding the city is manageable, but the construction of the city’s Protection Array is a huge project. Even Jing Yan must participate in constructing some high-level Immortal Arrays. The city’s Guardian Array isn’t just a handful; in the Heavenly Domain, a city’s Guardian Array generally consists of over a hundred layers.

”City Lord Jing Yan, thank you, thank you!” Gao Zhenjiang was immediately delighted when Jing Yan readily agreed.

”Elder Gao, don’t be so quick to thank me. Actually, everyone’s quite aware of the situation in Hongmeng City. The price of real estate is definitely much higher than before. As for how to purchase and at what price, just directly consult the Grand Steward of the City Lord Mansion.” Jing Yan waved his hand as he spoke.

”Naturally.” Gao Zhenjiang nodded.

Gao Zhenjiang and the Golden Toad Commerce Headquarters were prepared psychologically for paying a high price to buy real estate in Hongmeng City. They couldn’t blame Jing Yan for this. When they first bought property in Hongmeng City, the prices were incredibly low. If back then, they had had a bit more daring, they could have purchased more properties. The problem was, they couldn’t foresee that far.

Nor could the high level of Golden Toad Commerce be blamed for lacking vision, as the fact of the matter was that there wasn’t any major force in the entire Heavenly Domain that considered Hongmeng City to have significant investment value. Golden Toad Commerce initially bought some property mainly to get closer to Jing Yan; otherwise, they wouldn’t have even purchased that batch of real estate.

”By the way, City Lord Jing Yan, is the daily cost of a ninth-level Cultivation Room really one billion?” Gao Zhenjiang asked.

Master Ru Yueyi was present when determining the level of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, and Gao Zhenjiang was with Master Ru at that time. Master Ru mentioned that the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is the best cultivation tower in the entire Heavenly Domain.

However, the usage fee is equally intimidating.

The Golden Toad Commerce Headquarters city also has a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, which is likewise open to the public. But the top-level Cultivation Room in the Golden Toad Commerce’s Heavenly Cultivation Tower only costs one million Black Crystal Stones per day. The top-level Cultivation Room in the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is ten times more expensive than the top-level Cultivation Room in the Golden Cicada Cultivation Tower.

”Of course, the one billion is considered a low price. Haha, if you don’t have the Hongmeng City VIP status, then even spending three to five billion wouldn’t get you into the top-level Cultivation Room.” Jing Yan chuckled.

”Is this Cultivation Room really worth that much?” Gao Zhenjiang was still somewhat doubtful.

”You’ll only know if it’s worth it after trying it. But I can tell you that Master Ru has already reserved the top-level Cultivation Room for a month.” Jing Yan squinted his eyes at Gao Zhenjiang.

”What?” Gao Zhenjiang was shocked.

Gao Zhenjiang did not know that Master Ru was going to use the top-level Cultivation Room in the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower.

”No way, I’ve got to give it a try. But... if I feel cheated, I’ll come back and settle the score with you.” Gao Zhenjiang said and disappeared from Jing Yan’s view.

As it stands, Gao Zhenjiang and Jing Yan are familiar with each other and don’t stand on ceremony.

Gao Zhenjiang found Luo Hao, paid one billion Black Crystal Stones, and obtained the privilege to use the ninth-level Cultivation Room for a day.

A day later, Gao Zhenjiang was automatically transported out of the ninth-level Cultivation Room.

Evidently, he wasn’t satisfied!

”So extravagant! So extravagant indeed! What resources are embedded in this ninth-level Cultivation Room! The daily cost of one billion Black Crystal Stones is truly worth it!” Gao Zhenjiang was overjoyed, his eyes shining, almost roaring aloud.

Gao Zhenjiang is an extremely strong presence in the Immortal Venerable Peak Realm, reaching the first-rate level. Under normal circumstances, his Dao Skill doesn’t show much improvement. Even using the Heavenly Cultivation Tower of their Golden Toad Commerce, progress in cultivation is exceptionally slow. However, after a day of cultivation in the ninth-level Cultivation Room of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, he had some new insights. One must admit, without personal experience, it would be difficult for Gao Zhenjiang to believe.

Gao Zhenjiang now understood that the top-level Cultivation Room must be embedded with Netherworld Crystal Stones. He knew of Netherworld Crystal Stones; he had two pieces on him, a reward from Jing Yan for inviting Master Ru Yueyi to Hongmeng City. Precisely because of this, he called it extravagant. Those Netherworld Crystal Stones are extraordinarily precious resources, extremely difficult to purchase even with an abundance of Black Crystal Stones.

After using the ninth-level Cultivation Room for a day, Gao Zhenjiang couldn’t let it go. However, he needed to immediately return to the Golden Cicada Headquarters and thoroughly explain the situation in Hongmeng City to the high levels, especially the wonders of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. Then, he would bring a large amount of Black Crystal Stones and other basic resources back to Hongmeng City to purchase as much real estate as possible.

...

Sima Family!

This is an ancient and massive clan, whose ancestor is an Immortal Emperor. Within the family, many disciples are in the Immortal Venerable Realm, and there is a group of disciples in the Immortal Venerable Peak Realm.

The Sima Family is also the only family in Kunling Heaven that can completely rival those superpowers with family strength alone.

The Sima Family is closely allied with the Tianyin Building.

It is said that the ancestor of the Sima Family and the Building Owner of the Tianyin Building are very good friends, with some rumors even suggesting that Sima Ancestor and Tianyin Building Owner are as close as life and death friendships.

Yet in recent days, the atmosphere in the ancestral home of the Sima Family was charged with a dense, unrelenting heaviness.

Sima Rongjie of the Sima Family, is dead!

When the news came, the entire high command of the Sima Family was disbelief, unable to accept that the news was true! Their initial reaction was, how is it possible?

Sima Rongjie was a very promising and relatively young member of the Sima Family; the Sima Family Elder Council had high hopes for Sima Rongjie. Managing Dingyun City was intended as training. Once Sima Rongjie had gained experience and became more seasoned, returning to the family’s ancestral home, he would be eligible to join the family Elder Council and become one of the Elders.

This highlights the high status of Sima Rongjie in the Sima Family; he was truly at the core, a very important member.

However, Sima Rongjie is dead, killed in Hongmeng City. Sima Rongjie was killed by City Lord Jing Yan of Hongmeng City, and as for the reason for the murder, the Sima Family is well aware. If he had been killed for no reason in Hongmeng City, the Sima Family would certainly have taken action, demanding an explanation from Hongmeng City. But the issue is, City Lord Jing Yan of Hongmeng City had a justifiable reason to kill Sima Rongjie, as it was Sima Rongjie who provoked trouble and attempted to ruin people’s Cultivation Tower. Reason is on City Lord Jing Yan’s side.

Given the current circumstances, if the Sima Family forcibly sent troops to attack Hongmeng City, public opinion within the Heavenly Domain would not favor the Sima Family. External cultivators would only think that the Sima Family is disgruntled and abusing its power!

Furthermore, a significant point is that Hongmeng City is strong and not an easy bone to gnaw. If Sima Ancestor personally took action, he could easily wipe out Hongmeng City. But given the current issue, the Sima Family Elder Council doesn’t dare disturb Sima Ancestor. Even if they were to bravely disturb him, Sima Ancestor would most likely criticize their Elder Council without coming from the Chaotic Primordial Space.
