Chapter 367 Yan City

There has never been a fixed price for Rank 6 perfect elixir in the market, because the appearances of Rank 6 perfect elixir are too rare.

Even for a Pill Saint, they only occasionally refine a Rank 6 perfect elixir; whether this "occasionally" means ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years is hard to say.

That is why Rank 6 perfect elixir is priceless.

Qin Ming sat on the back of the Cloud Chasing Dragon, leisurely eating snacks while looking at the scenery below.

Occasionally, when the Cloud Chasing Dragon was hungry, Qin Ming would simply toss down a precious Medicinal Pill, which could replenish a day's worth of food for the Cloud Chasing Dragon.

Just like that, two days passed in a flash.

"That should be Yan City down there, right?" Qin Ming saw the towering city in the distance and patted the back of the Cloud Chasing Dragon.

The Cloud Chasing Dragon immediately descended and prostrated itself on the ground.

Qin Ming climbed down from the Cloud Chasing Dragon: "You did well. Go find something to eat first; I will naturally call for you when I need you."

Hearing Qin Ming's words, the Cloud Chasing Dragon let out two cries and flew away, flapping its wings.

Qin Ming looked at Yan City in the distance and strode towards it.

…

Yan City is a bustling city and also a commercially developed one. It backs onto the Qingyan Mountain Range and is rich in various resources. It is said that when the Great Xia Dynasty was choosing its capital, it had considered Yan City, but ultimately, after much consideration, it was excluded.

Being able to enter the candidate list for the Great Xia Dynasty's capital shows how bustling Yan City is; even the current Great Xia City does not have as good a commercial atmosphere as Yan City.

And the location where the Ancient Secret Realm was discovered this time is precisely within the Qingyan Mountain Range behind Yan City.

"Line up, ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per person." At the spacious gate of Yan City, a leading guard shouted loudly.

"Isn't it three? Why did it go up to ten?" a young man in line muttered.

The guard looked at the young man and released his Aura, which was clearly that of a Martial Spirit Realm. He barked: "It is ten now. Unless you are a Martial King Expert or from the Great Xia royal family, you must pay the Spirit Stone; if you don't want to pay, get lost."

"Yes, yes, I will pay." The young man nodded and bowed.

"Hmph…" The guard glanced sideways at the young man. A Martial Artist carrying a saber did not line up, ignored the guard, and headed straight into Yan City.

"Line up, pay the Spirit Stone," the guard shouted.

"Hmm?" The man carrying the saber released his Aura, and the pressure of a Martial King swept towards the guard.

"My lord, please, please proceed!" The guard lowered his head respectfully.

The man carrying the saber retracted his pressure and strode into Yan City.

After the man carrying the saber disappeared at the gate, the guard wiped the sweat from his forehead: "There have been too many Martial King Experts lately; I should be more careful."

Qin Ming followed in line, and soon it was his turn. After paying the Spirit Stone, Qin Ming followed the crowd into Yan City.

"Young Master, do you need someone to show you the way? I have lived in Yan City since I was small; there is no place in Yan City that I don't know." A boy of eleven or twelve ran up to Qin Ming and asked.

The boy's clothes were a bit tattered; he was trying hard to smile, his eyes full of pleading.

"How many Spirit Stones?" Thinking that he was indeed unfamiliar with Yan City and did need someone to show him the way, he agreed.

The boy said happily: "As long as it is ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones, I can take you around Yan City for a whole day."

Qin Ming nodded. The prices in Yan City could not be compared with those in Chenyang City at all. The entry fee for Yan City alone required ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. This condition alone blocked many people who wanted to come in but lacked Spirit Stones.

Ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones for a full day of guiding was completely understandable.

Seeing Qin Ming nod, the boy was extremely happy and hurriedly asked: "Young Master, where would you like to go?"

"Let's go see the largest Auction House in Yan City," Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Alright, Young Master, follow me." The boy walked in front of Qin Ming, introducing Yan City to him from time to time.

Qin Ming asked: "How did you know it was my first time in Yan City?"

"Young Master, this is because we have been in this line of work for a long time and have gained experience," the boy smiled. "People who come to Yan City often usually walk straight ahead without looking around. But those who have just arrived in Yan City and are unfamiliar with it tend to pay attention to the scenery near the city gate."

"For you, Young Master, since it is your first time in Yan City, the nearby scenery is very strange and fresh, but for those of us who live in Yan City and those who enter often, we are long accustomed to these sights."

"Moreover, during this period, the entry fee for Yan City has increased, and there are far fewer ordinary merchants entering. Many Martial Artists who often come to Yan City have not entered, but instead, there are many unfamiliar Martial Artists."

Qin Ming nodded. The Ancient Secret Realm is near Yan City, so there must be many Martial Artists coming to Yan City; it is not strange to see many unfamiliar Martial Artists.

"There will be even more unfamiliar Martial Artists in the future; I estimate your business will be much easier to do."

"I hope your words come true; I was worried that the rise in the city gate fee would mean many Martial Artists wouldn't come to Yan City anymore." The boy pointed to a tall building and said, "Young Master, this is the largest Auction House in Yan City."
