Chapter 563 Midu Immortal Realm 16
Outside the Immortal Buddha City.
Minglai put the aircraft into the Qiankun bag.
Then he turned around and smiled at Mingxin and Acai beside him, motioning them to follow him.
The three of them walked side by side, slowly heading towards the majestic and magnificent city gate that towered into the clouds.
It was sunset at this time, and the sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red.
However, what was surprising was that even though night was about to fall, the city gate was still crowded with people, and several long queues were like winding dragons, waiting to enter the city.
Ah Cai stared with wide eyes, astonishment on her face at the endless line before her, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Oh my god! At this time when the sun is about to set, there are still so many people queuing here waiting to enter the city!"
incredible.
It was indeed as Ah Cai said, the number of people in this team was astonishingly large. Amidst the hustle and bustle, all kinds of noises came one after another, making it very lively.
Some people were loudly discussing their harvest of the day; others were anxiously standing on tiptoe, looking forward; and some children were laughing and playing in the crowd...
Seeing Ah Cai so surprised, Minglai smiled and explained, "Enter and exit Xianfo City has always been free and unrestricted.
In order to make a living, many mortals live in the city, but they go out of the city every day to work hard, such as farming.
So every evening, there would be this kind of queue back to the city.”
Hearing this, Ah Cai became more curious. Her bright eyes kept turning, observing the people around her who were queuing to enter the city.
Many people were seen leading cattle, horses and other livestock, and carrying various farm tools or baskets full of agricultural products on their backs.
So Ah Cai asked, "Then how many mortals are there in this city?"
Minglai pondered for a moment, then answered seriously, "From what I understand, the proportion of mortals in this Immortal Buddha City is quite high, almost half the population. A rough estimate would put the population at at least 100 to 200 million!"
"Huh? Just this Immortal Buddha City can accommodate such a large population?"
After hearing this, Ah Cai opened her mouth wide.
She really couldn't imagine that a city could have so many residents.
Mingxin clasped his hands together and walked without stopping, saying as he walked, "This is just during normal times. When it comes to the Ullambana Festival or Buddha's Birthday, the number of people will increase several times, and it will be extremely lively."
The three of them slowly walked to the city gate and looked up, only to see several tall men in neat soldier uniforms standing there busily, collecting the entrance fee in an orderly manner.
Mortals and immortal cultivators are clearly separated here, and are led by different soldiers to their respective entrances to the city.
Ah Cai couldn't suppress her curiosity. She gently stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck and looked forward, trying to see the scene more clearly.
One of the soldiers shouted, "Mortals need to pay ten copper coins each time to enter the city, and immortal cultivators need to pay ten spirit beads each!"
His voice was clear, loud and powerful, echoing throughout the city gate.
At this moment, Acai had followed Mingxin and slowly lined up in front of the toll booth.
Her eyes were immediately attracted by a huge stone standing next to her.
This stone is about the size of a dressing mirror, emitting a faint light all over, giving people a mysterious feeling.
Ah Cai stared at the stone with wide eyes, full of confusion, muttering to herself, "What kind of strange stone is this? How can it emit such a unique light?"
A passerby saw this and explained to Ah Cai with a smile, "Little girl, this is no ordinary stone. It's an unpolished spirit-testing stone, and it's the lowest quality. Even so, it can only tell whether you are a cultivator or not."
Ah Cai couldn't help but smack her lips in amazement, muttering to herself, "Holy crap! I never expected this! It's just a city entrance fee, but they actually have to use this so-called 'high-tech' gadget."
Ah Cai widened her eyes, staring intently at the faintly glowing spiritual bead in Minglai's hand, and asked with a puzzled look on her face:
"Could this spirit bead be the leftover material from cutting spirit stones?"
After saying that, she subconsciously glanced at the storage bag in her system backpack and thought to herself: I have quite a few scraps here! And they are all scraps of top-grade spirit stones. Even if I just take out a piece at random, the spiritual power contained in it is probably enough to match that of an ordinary spirit stone.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from deep within Ah Cai's consciousness: "Host, think about it. If you carefully polish those scraps of your material into smooth, round beads, and then string them together with a thin string, wouldn't it become a unique local specialty? When the time comes, take it back and give it to your family and friends. It will definitely be a great gift!"
This voice was the reminder from 00541 hidden in her sea of consciousness.
After hearing this, Ah Cai nodded as if suddenly realizing something, and quickly replied through her mind:
"Ah, yes, yes...
You are so right!
Why didn’t I think of that at the time?
No, I can't waste any more time. I have to put all the scraps into my [Universal Processing Workshop] immediately, have them all turned into beautiful beads, and then string them together carefully."
After entering the city gate, what comes into view is the bustling scene of people on the streets.
There are countless stalls on both sides of the street, which is very bustling.
Ah Cai gently touched her stomach and felt not hungry, so she slowly turned her head.
At this time, Mingxin was chattering non-stop: "We came in from the south gate. As long as we follow this bluestone road and pass through a dozen intersections, we will see the prosperous market."
Upon hearing this, Ah Cai turned to look at Ming Lai beside her and suggested, "Shouldn't we find a place to stay first, and then go out for a good stroll?"
Minglai nodded when he heard this, and then brought everyone to the "Auspicious Inn".
After booking three rooms, the group was about to go out for a stroll when they suddenly heard a harsh sound coming from the inn hall.
I saw a young man holding a jade fan, claiming to be a playboy, standing arrogantly opposite several young knights with two beauties.
Beside the young master, a woman in purple clothes looked arrogant and said with a disdainful curl of her lips, "Tsk tsk, I never thought that a sword cultivator would dare to stay in such a nice inn."
The woman in white next to her was even more sarcastic. She said sarcastically, "Do they have money? They're broke as all hell and still work as bodyguards for others. Why do they have to live in the same place as us?"
Upon hearing this, the young master quickly put away his fan and happily scurried over to the leading woman with a sword on her back. With a broad smile on his face, he said, "Senior Sister Feng, what a coincidence today! Where would you like to go for a stroll? I'm happy to accompany you."
Seeing this, the purple-robed woman raised her eyebrows and angrily pulled the man back, scolding him, "Brother, what are you doing? Don't get infected by their poverty!"
The woman in white quickly chimed in, "That's right! Living in the same hotel with them is really unlucky!"
Senior Sister Feng didn't have the time to pay attention to these people. To her, these guys were just insignificant existences, a bunch of little trash.
Just a light swing of the sword can easily solve it.
Senior Sister Feng remained silent, but the younger Junior Sister standing beside her could no longer suppress her dissatisfaction.
She put her hands on her hips and angrily said, "Why do we sword cultivators need you to be so flashy? You all dress up like Sister Hua, but all you do is yell all day long. You're good for nothing, just a bunch of useless trash!"
Hearing this, the junior brother standing behind the younger junior sister quickly covered his mouth with his hands and quietly leaned behind his senior sister, thinking that it would be better to ask the senior sister to help cover it up. If he laughed out loud in front of everyone, it would be really inappropriate.
However, at this moment, the woman in purple opposite suddenly became furious and was about to rush forward to argue with the junior sister.
In the blink of an eye, the young man who had been standing nearby holding a fan saw what was happening and quickly reached out to stop the woman in purple.
He lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Oh, my dear, you are going to kill yourself! You are really crazy! Shut up right now! If you want to die, I haven't lived enough! If you want to die, please die far away and don't drag me down with you!"
After saying this, he quickly turned his head and looked at Junior Sister Bai beside him with a flattering look, and then explained:
"Junior Sister Bai, please take a break! They are the eldest sister and her fellow junior sisters from the Wuji Sword Sect's Lingxiao Peak! Moreover, their master is none other than the infamous sword madman—Reverend Liushang!"
Hearing this, the originally furious He Shimei couldn't help but curl her lips, still muttering softly:
"Hmph, even if they're sword cultivators, so what? How much wealth can a poor sword cultivator sect have? Could it possibly be filthy rich?"
Senior Sword Cultivator Sister Feng and Junior Sister Feng Xingtong were annoyed when they saw these people. "You, from the Qi family, take your good sisters and get out of here right away, or I'll beat you up!"
Qi Shaowei quickly dragged the two junior sisters out.
Helpless, I can’t drag it at all.
Senior Sister He in purple looked at Senior Sister Feng opposite her in a tight suit with a cold expression on her face. She got angry because she looked down on them.
"Senior Sister Feng, please forgive me. I just accidentally told the truth."
After saying that, he took out a magic weapon and said, "Oh, come on, I just bought a magic weapon and the seller cheated me out of 100 medium-grade spirit stones. I'll go and settle the score with him later."
The woman in white, Bai Mianmian, took the magic weapon and tossed it up and down.
"I just told you not to buy this one and to buy the one that costs 500 medium-grade spirit stones, but Senior Sister just won't listen. I don't know if it's too late to go back and exchange it now."
Feng Xingtong rolled his eyes and smiled in his heart, "What are you guys bragging about? We've got a big order and we'll soon have one top-grade spirit stone every month."
Senior Sister Feng looked at Qi Shaowei and said, "Hurry up and drag these two pretentious guys away, or I will not be polite."
"What a bummer! Luckily, we just arrived at Xianfo City and didn't have time to eat dinner!"
