Chapter 365: All Good Things Are Based on One's Own Strength

Falling Star City!

The ancient city was majestic, its palaces resplendent and magnificent, built not only on the ground but also floating in the Void Realm, beautiful beyond compare.

Inside the city, the flow of people was dense, and it was extremely prosperous. As soon as Lin Fan and Yue Chan entered, the aura of the Mortal World assailed them.

On both sides of the streets, shops were visible everywhere, with constant hawking, bustling traffic, and an endless stream of living beings.

Moreover, most of them were Cultivators; Cultivators of the Divine Fire Realm, True One Realm, and Heavenly God Realm were all visible, and there were even Void Realm experts.

"Young Master, Young Miss, do you want slaves? Our shop has just received a batch of special varieties, including Imperial Dynasty princesses, Ancient Sect Prodigies, and more."

"Of course, if you don't like them, we also have Qilong, a descendant of the True Dragon collateral Bloodline, and Silver Phoenix, which has the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline… all are excellent mounts."

Lin Fan and Yue Chan turned their heads to look. In some grand buildings where runes flickered, Vicious Beasts roared, all confined in iron cages.

Among them, the lowest cultivation was in the Divine Fire Realm, and their Bloodlines were powerful and rare, yet they were all being sold as goods.

Especially races like Qilong and Silver Phoenix, which were major clans in the Three Thousand Provinces, who would dare to openly sell them unless they no longer wished to live?

At the same time, the two also discovered many humanoid beings, men handsome and women beautiful, all confined in iron cages.

However, judging from their mental state, most of them were already numb, or rather, resigned to their fate.

Yet, one woman caught Lin Fan's attention; she was different.

Not only was she exquisitely beautiful and alluring, but a noble temperament also permeated her bones, and she refused to submit to her current situation.

It could be seen that on her hands and feet, there was an additional chain forged from divine gold compared to the other beings.

Evidently, this woman's strength was extraordinary, requiring special means to suppress her in order to control her.

"Young Master has good taste. She comes from an Imperial Dynasty princess in a certain Ancient Sect of the Immortal Slaying Land, and her cultivation is even in the Heavenly God Realm. One Spirit Medicine, absolutely worth more than its price."

The boss smiled, giving him a look that all men understood, and indicated that the other party's primal yin was still intact, untouched.

The only drawback was that this woman was too fiery and not easily tamed, but for some people with a desire to conquer, this was actually a good thing.

After all, things that are too easily obtained, or too docile, tend to be uninteresting.

"Hmph, how vulgar!" Yue Chan snorted coldly, showing displeasure, and pulled Lin Fan to walk forward.

"Hey, the price is negotiable. If one Spirit Medicine isn't enough, you can also use other things to substitute…" The man shouted from behind.

"If you dare to look back, I'll… bite you to death!" Yue Chan glared at him.

Lin Fan smiled, not paying much attention, allowing Yue Chan to pull him towards a restaurant standing in the sky.

However, both of them were deeply shocked. The Nine Heavens was truly extraordinary; they even dared to capture and sell a Heavenly God Realm princess from the Immortal Slaying Land.

This was quite astonishing!

One must know that the Immortal Slaying Land was also one of the Ten Lands, on par with the Three Thousand Provinces, and it was rumored that in ancient times, many Immortals had died there.

Despite this, neither of them intervened or pitied the other party, because the world was just like this: the strong preyed on the weak.

Even in the Three Thousand Provinces, such things were not uncommon, just not as extravagant as in the Nine Heavens, where Heavenly Gods were treated as goods.

"All the good things in the world are based on one's own strength!" Lin Fan sighed.

Above the city, many islands floated, with white clouds leisurely drifting, mist swirling, and auspicious glow rising, like immortal islands, picturesque.

On the islands, there were many magnificent palaces, looking very grand and beautiful, yet also incomparably peaceful.

Although they were in the same city, the upper and lower parts gave very different feelings, like the difference between heaven and earth, separating noise and tranquility.

Yue Chan was curious. No matter how aloof and indifferent she usually was, she was still a woman, with an innate curiosity, looking around at new things.

Finally, she pulled Lin Fan and chose the most magnificent restaurant, from which crystal clear light emanated, surrounded by faint clouds and mist.

Upon closer inspection, the plaque read the three ancient characters for Ba Zhen Lou (Eight Treasures Restaurant), which greatly attracted the two, so they walked inside.

"Didn't you always want to taste all Eight Treasures? Let's see if you can fulfill your wish here." Yue Chan was serene, like a divine lotus swaying, accompanied by a woman's delicate fragrance.

Lin Fan's heart warmed. He had only mentioned it once back then, and he didn't expect Yue Chan to remember.

Moreover, he had already eaten Eight Treasures Chicken, Eight Treasures Carp, and Eight Treasures Qilin, three kinds of primeval top delicacies.

It had to be said that their meat quality was indeed superb, leaving one with an endless aftertaste.

Besides that, the Eight Treasures themselves were of great value.

For example, the eggs laid by the Eight Treasures Chicken were Spirit Medicine, the Eight Treasures Carp could reshape bones and tendons, and the Eight Treasures Qilin was comparable to Spirit Medicine, increasing medicinal efficacy.

Subsequently, the two ascended to the restaurant. It was built with exquisite jade stones, towering like a heavenly palace, with rich Spiritual Qi permeating its interior.

They ascended several floors and reached the highest level, sitting by the window, looking out to admire the beautiful scenery of most of the city.

The two also noticed that the restaurant was very unusual; there were Initial Prodigies and Heavenly God experts, all drinking and discussing the Dao here.

"Two esteemed guests, what can I get for you?" A waiter came to inquire.

"First, a jar of divine wine," Lin Fan said.

The waiter looked at him carefully and said, "Esteemed guest, the divine wine in our shop is not cheap; you need to pay first."

Lin Fan was a bit surprised; he had just casually mentioned it, and there really was divine wine. As expected of the wealthy Nine Heavens, unlike the barren Ten Lands.

But he also learned that although the shop had divine wine, it could actually only be called semi-divine wine, brewed from semi-Spirit Medicine.

Because Spirit Medicine was too precious and limited in quantity, even if the Nine Heavens was rich, there wouldn't be too much, and it was impossible to be so extravagant as to use Spirit Medicine to brew wine.

Next, Lin Fan took out a few semi-divine fruits to pay, but was told that only half a jar was left, which made him a little displeased, and he frowned.

"I'm really sorry, there were originally a few jars of wine brewed from semi-Spirit Medicine, but they were already pre-ordered. There's still half a jar, which I can sell you a pot of, Young Master."

"That's really bad!" Lin Fan was very direct.

The waiter awkwardly smiled, perhaps not expecting that the person, who looked young, was so generous.

"And a table of Eight Treasures." This time, it was Yue Chan who spoke.

Upon hearing this, the True One Realm waiter was sweating, and people at other tables also fell silent, involuntarily turning their heads.

"Fairy, you jest. How rare are the Great Ancient Eight Treasures? Even Master Level experts can't eat all eight kinds at once, and some are even hard to come by, perhaps not encountered even in thousands or tens of thousands of years."

"Misleading name. How dare this be called Ba Zhen Lou (Eight Treasures Restaurant)? Forget it, just bring whatever kinds you have," Lin Fan scoffed, waving his hand, a little impatient.

"Currently, we have three kinds: Eight Treasures Chicken, Eight Treasures Carp, and eight treasures phoenix," the waiter said awkwardly.

"Hmm, at least we didn't come in vain. At least there's one we haven't tasted. How many eight treasures phoenix are left?"

Yue Chan had an excellent demeanor and graceful bearing, often attracting many gazes, but she seemed very "enthusiastic" about the eight treasures phoenix, more so than the other two Eight Treasures.

"Fairy, you've come at a good time; there's just one left today."

"Alright then, bring one of each."

The Eight Treasures were different from divine wine; Holy Medicine was sufficient for payment, and the two currently had no shortage of Holy Medicine.
