PFC Chapter 187 Xuanji City
Chapter 187 Xuanji City
Originally, Ling Yan'er wanted to wait for Xie Hanshan to come back, but after waiting for two more days, Xie Hanshan still didn't come back, so Ling Yan'er simply gave up waiting.
Taking Dongfang Zichu with them, Cui Ruyue and Hua Qingfeng boarded a flying boat and went out together.
Hua Qingfeng and Cui Ruyue discussed it and pointed Ling Yan'er in the direction of Xuanji City.
Xuanji City is different from other cities. The people inside are all cultivators, not mortals.
"So they're willing to let their children attend our academy?" Ling Yan'er asked curiously, "Wouldn't a place like this be taught by their own elders?"
"On the contrary, places like this are more willing to send their children to the academy." Cui Ruyue said, "I've been to Xuanji City before. For people outside Xuanji City, Xuanji City is a holy place, but for some people in Xuanji City, Xuanji City is a cage they want to break free from."
Ling Yan'er didn't understand what Cui Ruyue said and looked at Hua Qingfeng, hoping that he could explain it, but Hua Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I haven't been to Xuanji City, I've only heard of it."
"What about you, little Zichu?" Ling Yan'er looked at Dongfang Zichu.
Dongfang Zichu said, "I never remember the names of human cities."
Okay, but he is also unreliable. Ling Yan'er can only wait and see after arriving in Xuanji City.
On the flying boat, Hua Qingfeng took the disguise pill again and turned into Su Ruozheng. Neither Dongfang Zichu nor Cui Ruyue asked why.
After arriving at Xuanji City, Ling Yan'er discovered that Xuanji City was different from the cities she had seen before. Xuanji City had many tall towers and the buildings were much taller than other places.
After parking the flying boat outside Xuanji City, Cui Ruyue and a few others paid the spirit stones and entered the city.
They paid with high-quality spirit stones, and it was indeed not easy to enter Xuanji City. An ordinary cultivator with low cultivation level might not be able to save enough money to enter the city a few times in his entire life.
"Let's go find the manager first." Cui Ruyue said.
Meeting Ling Yan'er's puzzled gaze, Cui Ruyue said, "The steward is the steward of the Xuanji City Lord's Mansion. No matter what you want to do in Xuanji City, you must first go to the steward and get his approval before you can do it."
Ling Yan'er thought about the time she set up a stall before. It was not for making money, but to clear out the inventory.
"What if we sell things?" Ling Yan'er asked.
"If you sell it to a store, you don't need to do that. But if you set up a stall yourself, even if you are just selling a few spiritual herbs, you must inform the manager first," said Cui Ruyue.
Ling Yan'er noticed Cui Ruyue's choice of words, must.
While following Cui Ruyue to find the steward, Ling Yan'er discovered that there were many patrolling guards in the city.
When they arrived at the steward's residence, Ling Yan'er didn't let Cui Ruyue go forward, but walked up to the front and asked, "Excuse me, if my college wants to recruit students here, what should I do?"
"College? Enrollment?" The steward looked Ling Yan'er up and down, then glanced at Cui Ruyue and Su Ruozheng behind her and asked, "What college? How big is it? How many days do you plan to enroll?"
"Caledonia was just established last year. It's not very big. It's been recruiting for half a month." Ling Yan'er said.
The manager then asked, "What are your requirements for enrollment?"
"There are no requirements. Anyone with spiritual roots will do." Ling Yan'er replied.
"Okay, hand over ten high-grade spirit stones." said the manager.
"Ten high-grade spirit stones?!" Ling Yan'er exclaimed in disbelief.
"I haven't even asked how many people you want to recruit from our city." The manager sneered, "Ten high-grade spirit stones, no matter how many people you take away from the city, it's already a good deal for you. Don't be ungrateful. Who knows what kind of academy you are running?"
"We are a serious academy!" Ling Yan'er said.
"I don't care if you're a legitimate academy or not. If you want to enroll, you have to pay ten high-grade spirit stones." The manager said, "If you don't pay, get out."
"I'll pay it!" Ling Yan'er gritted her teeth.
She counted out ten high-grade spirit stones from her purse and gave them to the man. The man took the spirit stones and threw a sign to Ling Yan'er, saying, "Seat 10 in Oriental Plaza. Go ahead."
Ling Yan'er took the sign and said thank you before leaving.
Although she was very indignant, Ling Yan'er also knew that one has to bow his head under the eaves, not to mention that this was someone else's territory.
After walking quite a distance, Ling Yan'er murmured to herself, "How dark! They actually cost me ten high-grade spirit stones! They were high-grade spirit stones!"
She had never spent any spirit stones setting up stalls in Lingyun City and Furong City! Apart from the lottery, she had never spent so many high-grade spirit stones!
Moreover, her tuition is so cheap. How many students does she have to teach to earn back the spirit stones?
Cui Ruyue consoled him, "In Xuanji City, Spiritual Stones are the easiest to earn and spend. Ten high-grade Spiritual Stones are a bit much, but it's not too bad."
Not good at all. Ling Yan'er thought of the mid-grade spirit stones given to her when she entered the city, and she understood what Cui Ruyue meant by the easiest to spend.
The entrance fee alone requires one mid-grade spirit stone per person. Isn’t that hard to spend?
Thinking of this, Ling Yan'er asked, "The entrance fee is so high, is there anyone still willing to come here?"
"Didn't you see it all when you entered the city?" Cui Ruyue said, "There are quite a few people coming here."
Su Ruozheng said, "The higher the entrance fee, the more people will be reluctant to spend spirit stones. Naturally, some people will think that having been to Xuanji City is something worth bragging about."
Ling Yan'er understood this very well. Indeed, the high threshold also represented different classes.
When they arrived at Oriental Plaza, the guards outside saw the wooden sign Ling Yan'er was holding and took her to stall number ten. When they got there, Ling Yan'er suddenly felt that the ten high-grade spirit stones were not so worthless.
This stall is different from Ling Yan'er's previous stall. Once you step in, there is a separate space inside.
Moreover, this space is very large and there is no decoration inside. It is an empty room that can accommodate at least a thousand people.
After bringing Ling Yan'er in, the guard asked, "How long have you rented it?"
"Half a month." Ling Yan'er said as she looked around.
The guard took note at the door and left.
Ling Yan'er took a look and didn't understand what mark he made. She took out her cell phone, took out two tables from her backpack and placed them aside. Hua Qingfeng also took out the same table from his storage bag and placed them together.
Ling Yan'er was just about to ask how to recruit students here when she saw someone coming in from the door.
Seeing the three people, he paused for a moment, then asked, "What are you selling here? Do you buy monsters?"
Ling Yan'er shook her head: "We don't sell or buy anything here. We are here to recruit students from the academy."
"Qingshan Academy?" the other party asked.
Ling Yan'er shook her head: "It's not Qingshan Academy, we are from Caledonia."
"Never heard of it." The man muttered, said sorry for disturbing you, and left.
