Chapter 149 Didn’t expect it?
"Fellow Daoist, are you going to the Demon Realm?" Wan Lao San asked with a smile after taking the spirit stone.
"How do you know?" Cheng Shuyan asked without denying it.
“Wuyue City is a mixed crowd, ordinary cultivators won’t come here.
Disciples of sects and families like you who are so glamorous come here simply because you are curious about the Demon Realm and want to go in for some excitement.
Fellow Daoist, listen to my advice. If it were in the past, it would have been fine, but the Demon Realm has been turbulent lately, and it is not a good choice for cultivators to go there now."
Wan Lao San had an expression of knowing everything and guessed confidently.
Cheng Shuyan frowned, his expression slightly displeased: "My three thousand spirit stones are not used to buy these few words of yours, fellow Daoist."
"Hey, don't worry! If you insist on going, I will naturally tell you some useful information!
People who practice Taoism are surrounded by spiritual energy. It’s okay in the world of Taoism, but if they go to the Demon Realm, it would be like wearing a fluorescent stone on their head in the middle of the night.
Therefore, if fellow Taoists want to enter the Demonic Realm, they must go to Yuebao Pavilion in the city to buy a piece of Phantom Stone. This kind of stone can simulate demonic energy and cover up the spiritual energy in your body.
As long as you don't take action, demon cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage won't be able to easily see through your identity as an immortal cultivator."
"Yuebao Pavilion?" Cheng Shuyan was slightly surprised. Is there a branch of Yuebao Pavilion in a place like Wuyue City?
"Yes, it's Yuebao Pavilion. Didn't expect it? There's something else you can't even imagine!" Wan Lao San smiled mysteriously and continued:
"Not only is there Yuebao Pavilion in Wuyue City, but also in the Demon Realm! That's why they have the channels to obtain things like the Shadow Stone.
Immortal cultivators infiltrating the Demon Realm, and demonic cultivators entering the Immortal Cultivation Realm, are actually things that both sides understand tacitly. As long as it's acceptable on the surface, there's no real strict prohibition."
Cheng Shuyan understood that there was no irreconcilable contradiction between the Cang Xuan Continent and the Demon Realm. It was just that the two sides had different ways of cultivation, which led to a serious grudge.
The grudges accumulated over a long period of time, and both sides looked down on each other, and over time they became hostile to each other.
But they are both human beings and fought against foreign enemies together ten thousand years ago. How could it be possible that immortal cultivators and demon cultivators have no contact at all?
Just like Yuebao Pavilion, its presence can be found in almost every market town in Cangxuan Continent. Now Cheng Shuyan has learned that there is also Yuebao Pavilion in the Demon Realm.
"What else?" she asked.
"Also... the currency used in the Demon Realm is Magic Crystals. Spirit Stones are not usable in the Demon Realm, so it's best for you to go to the Tianyou Bank to exchange some Magic Crystals for them.
In addition, Wuyue City is no safer than the markets in Cangxuan Continent. Murder and theft are rampant. If you don't want to cause trouble, it's best to change clothes before entering."
Wan Lao San took a look at Cheng Shuyan's plain white robes and said meaningfully.
Cheng Shuyan then realized that most people coming and going from Wu Yue City wore dark clothes, and her white robe was somewhat ostentatious.
During the time she was talking with Wan Lao San at the door, several people looked at her with ill intentions.
She had some ordinary clothes in her storage bag, which she would change into before going into the city.
"This is the entry pass to the city. Daoist friends, you only need to drop blood to recognize the master to use it. No additional money will be charged. This is my reward to you, Daoist Third Wan."
Wan Lao San took out a thumb-sized black token and handed it to her, saying with squinted eyes.
He then moved closer to Cheng Shuyan and lowered his voice, saying, "Also, I have a secret for you, fellow Daoist. The Demon Realm is preparing to open the Demon Cave recently.
The young Demon Lord from the Demon Realm will also be there this time. I heard that this is the young Demon Lord's first public appearance, and it will surely cause a huge uproar among the various forces in the Demon Realm.
Furthermore, the demonic energy in this demonic cave seems to be extremely unusual, and it is several times denser than before. I am afraid that many people will die in the demonic cave."
Upon hearing this news, Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but feel worried.
According to her guess, the "Young Demon Lord" mentioned by Wan Lao San might be her sister.
Judging from the news from Wan Lao San, the trip to the demon cave is extremely dangerous, and my sister’s situation in the demon world is probably not easy either.
"Do you have any detailed information about the demon cave?" Cheng Shuyan asked.
She originally came here to look for elixirs. The demonic energy in the demon cave was strong, so it was natural that the elixirs she needed might grow there.
Besides, since her sister was going to such a dangerous place, she couldn't just sit there and watch.
As long as you are careful and don't reveal your identity as a cultivator, there shouldn't be too many problems.
She looked at Wan Lao San and saw him smile obscenely, take out a jade slip and wave it in front of him.
"Of course I have. Honestly, ten mid-grade spirit stones! Fellow Daoist, this is exclusive information. You can't buy it in Wuyue City!"
That's it.
That's it!
Cheng Shuyan sighed lightly and consoled himself: I have already spent three thousand spirit stones, so I can make do with one thousand more, so just give it to me.
She took out the spirit stone and handed it to Wan Lao San, and then he handed the jade slip to her.
After the payment and goods were settled, Cheng Shuyan did not stay any longer. She found a secluded place, changed into dark gray clothes, and entered the city with the entry permit given by Wan Lao San.
As Wan Lao San said, there was indeed a murderous atmosphere in Wu Yue City. Everyone had a murderous look in their eyes and eyebrows, and they looked at others as if they were looking at prey.
She could imagine that if she had rashly entered the city, she would have become a fat sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of these people.
Cheng Shuyan had just entered the city and was a stranger. She thought that if she went to exchange magic crystals or go to Yuebao Pavilion at this time, she would easily be targeted by others.
She simply found an inn, asked for an ordinary room number C, and went back to her room to rest.
Even so, she still sensed several malicious spiritual senses sweeping over her unscrupulously.
If this happened in the market town of Cang Xuan Continent, law enforcement officers would have taken action to punish them long ago. How could they be allowed to be so arrogant?
She stayed in the inn for five consecutive days, occasionally strolling around the lobby, buying nothing, and then returning to her room.
On the fourth day, she even changed Room C to Room D, looking as if she had reached the end of her rope. Only then did the spiritual senses that were staring at her completely disappear.
At night, Cheng Shuyan changed into a black men's suit. After making sure that no one was watching her, she moved to another inn and stayed there for two more days before heading to Tianyou Bank.
Magic crystals, like spirit stones, also have different grades. Magic crystals and spirit stones can be exchanged in Tianyou Bank, and the bank charges a 1% handling fee.
She exchanged for 100,000 magic crystals and only spent an extra 1,000 spirit stones in handling fees, which was considered extremely cheap.
After exchanging the magic crystals, she stayed in the inn for a few more days before heading to Yuebao Pavilion.
Compared with the Yuebao Pavilion in Cangxuan Continent, the Yuebao Pavilion in Wuyue City has many more things used by magic cultivators.
Following what Wan Lao San said, Cheng Shuyan bought a piece of high-quality phantom stone, and also selected two magic swords and a small black shield.
Everything was ready, and Cheng Shuyan did not delay any longer and headed to the Demon Realm from the teleportation array in Wu Yue City.
