“Can’t a person go to the Canopy?” Di Jiu had just purchased the jade slip, and he hadn’t looked at its contents carefully yet.
Hearing Di Jiu’s words, Zheng Feisheng’s mouth opened wide for a while before he said, “My friend should not have learned anything about the Sky Curtain yet, right? The Sky Curtain is at the westernmost part of the Extreme Night Continent, and even if a Jindan cultivator were to go there alone, it would be a matter of nine deaths. In other words, even if one could go over, one would easily be off course. Sand City also only has one boat going over there every month, and that’s still because the Sky Curtain is about to open, otherwise it wouldn’t necessarily be possible to wait for a boat to go to the Sky Curtain for several years.”
It turned out that Sand City had ships going to the Sky Curtain, this news was very useful to Di Jiu.
“Then how many spirit stones are needed to go to the Sky Curtain?” Di Jiu estimated that the price wouldn’t be too low, if it was too low, these few people wouldn’t team up with others.
Zheng Feisheng sighed and said, “It’s not very expensive if you stay in a pa*s-through shop, it’s only 10,000 medium grade spirit stones ……”
“So expensive?” Di Jiu uttered in surprise.
Ten thousand medium grade spirit stones was a very small amount of spirit stones for him now, that was because he had made a fortune at the Qi Family Merchant House. These spirit stones were a very large amount for an ordinary cultivator, whether he was a casual cultivator or not.
Zheng Feisheng smiled heatedly, ”Is it still expensive? This is already very cheap. A poorer compartment would cost five thousand top-grade spirit stones, and a slightly better single room would be twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones. If it was a large private room with several separate cultivation rooms, it would cost at least 40,000 top-grade spirit stones. For five of us to share a room like this, each of us would pay eight thousand eight hundred upper grade spirit stones.”
Di Jiu wasn’t a white boy who didn’t know anything, the big private room Zheng Feisheng was talking about was actually a room as well. It was just for those rich cultivators, a room with a pet room, a living room, a cultivation room and an alchemy room inside.
“Fellow Daoist Zheng, I’ve heard that there are also quotas for the Heavenly Curtain, and many sects have to compete for these quotas. What would an ordinary person spend so many spirit stones to go to the Heavenly Curtain for?” Di Jiu asked subconsciously.
Zheng Feisheng was once again surprised and asked, “Could it be that my friend didn’t go to the Sky Curtain to enter the Outer Curtain?”
Di Jiu knew he had made a mistake again, the reason he asked that was because he just had the jade token to go to the Heavenly Curtain. In order to make up for his previous mistake in speaking, Di Jiu hurriedly explained, “I heard that before the opening of the Heavenly Curtain, there were still some casual cultivators who could enter, so I just wanted to go and try my luck.”
This statement was completely nonsense from Di Jiu, he had never heard of this matter at all.
“Haha, if you’re going to think like that, then you’re going to be disappointed. It’s true that there is a casual cultivator tournament stage at the Sky Curtain, but those casual cultivator slots have long been booked, and going to the tournament stage to compete is just a formality. If you go to the tournament stage without knowing anything, even if you win, it will just make you die a little faster.” This time, it was not Zheng Feisheng who interjected to speak, but the other senior disciple, Wang.
He saw Zheng Feisheng and Di Jiu talking for a long time and also walked over. The other Senior Sister Bing and the woman called Qi Shallow both walked over together.
Zheng Fei Sheng said cautiously, “Senior Brother Wang is right, there is no need to think about the casual cultivator quota, in fact, there are auctions and treasure exchanges and so on before the opening of the Heavenly Curtain, you may get a quota, but I suggest you don’t bother with these quotas either. It’s like when we take a boat to the Sky Curtain, even if we have enough spiritual stones, it’s not good to book a room for just one person. This act of exposing your wealth will only bring disaster and crisis. Besides, the airship to the Sky Curtain doesn’t care about fighting at all, so if anything happens, you can only admit your own bad luck. I see that my friend is also from a big family, right? These truths should also be understood.”
Di Jiu laughed, “That’s right, although my Di family is not considered a big cultivation family, it is not something that some jumping clowns can bully into.”
“I haven’t asked how my friend is addressed?” Hearing Di Jiu himself say that he was from a cultivation family, Zheng Feisheng took the opportunity to ask.
“Get to know each other, my name is Di Zimmer.” Di Jiu said that at this moment, his divine thoughts had already swept through the few jade slips he had purchased and had learned what the Outer Curtain was.
After the Heavenly Curtain Mystic Realm opened, a large area would appear just as outside the Heavenly Curtain Mystic Realm, and this area also had countless precious spirit herbs and ores. There was even a time when someone had found something more precious than the inside of the Heavenly Curtain Secret Realm in the outer curtain of the Heavenly Curtain Secret Realm.
“Senior Brother Wang’s name is Wang Jing, he and Senior Sister Jing Mo Bing are both from the True Leaving Sword Sect. Senior sister Qi shallow and I are from the Ni Kun Clan, originally senior sister Bing was able to take the True Leaving Sword Clan airship to the Heavenly Curtain, only because she went out with us for the trial and missed the airship, that’s why she was going to take the boat to Sand City.” Sensing that Di Jiu was going to team up with them, this time Zheng Feisheng was more detailed in his introduction.
The True Leaving Sword Sect and the Ni Kun Sect were both first-cla*s sects, and these two sects Di Jiu had also gone to try at first, but just didn’t have enough Spiritual Root qualifications.
It was that Jing Mo Bing Di Jiu remembered, she should be from the Jing family, she was probably Jing Moshuang’s sister or elder sister.
The reason why he felt familiar was because when he was in Jing Moshuang’s house, he had seen Jing Mo Bing’s back when he pa*sed by Jing Moshuang’s house.
Di Jiu was sure that Jing Mo Bing had joined the True Leaving Sword Sect a long time ago, at least earlier than Jing Moshuang had joined the Xinghe Sect. Otherwise, it was unlikely that he would have built his foundation in three years.
The reason why he was able to cross the sixth level of foundation building in a little over three years was because he had the grey stone. Not only did Geng Jiuxiang have his help, Geng Jiuxiang’s own spiritual roots were also top-notch.
I don’t know if it was because he felt the arrogance and ignorance of some of the cultivation families that Di Jiu came from, but Jing Mo Bing wasn’t very enthusiastic about Di Jiu and didn’t even bother to nod his head. On the contrary, Qi shallowly called out to senior brother Zimo with great enthusiasm.
Di Jiu guessed that Jing Mo Bing and Jing Mo Shuang did not have a good relationship, if they did, Jing Mo Shuang would not have deliberately stressed to him that it was Shuang and not Frost. If Jing Mo Bing didn’t give a D*mn about him, he certainly wouldn’t give a D*mn about Jing Mo Bing even more.
“Daoist friend Zi Mo, how about walking together?” Zheng Feisheng said again, addressing him with much more enthusiasm than before.
“Just as it should be, although it is much more expensive than a large pa*s-through, at least there is a single room and the price is barely acceptable, let’s go together.” Di Jiu agreed to Zheng Feisheng’s request without hesitation.
At least he felt that Zheng Feisheng was right in one thing he said, and that was that there was a real possibility of him being targeted if he found a room alone.
In any other place, Di Jiu would not be afraid. But in this place where fighting was not taboo, it was better for him to keep a low profile. In case someone caught something and drew in the Qi family’s Yuan Soul, then he wouldn’t be able to eat or walk away.
“Good, Daoist friend Zi Mo is quick.” Zheng Feisheng said with delight.
It was really hard to find an early stage Foundation Establishment who was willing to team up with them in such a small and remote workshop city. Originally, the four of them had planned to share a large room if they couldn’t find one. Only then, each of them would have to pay an extra one or two thousand top-grade spirit stones. This was also a considerable amount of expenses for them.
He didn’t know that Di Jiu was only one step away from crossing into the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and if he did, he definitely wouldn’t look for Di Jiu to form a group.
……
Sand City was not particularly far from Rongbian Square City, and it took about half a day to reach Sand City in Zheng Feisheng’s top grade magic craft airship.
Outside Sand City, a giant airship was parked there. Anyone who came here was bound to be able to see this airship.
“This airship is the ship heading to the Sky Curtain, the departure time is still a few days away, so let’s buy the tickets first and then buy some things we need in Sand City. Otherwise when we get on the ship, that same item will be at least five to ten times more expensive.” Zheng Feisheng had the highest cultivation level among the few people in Jing Mo Bing, Qi Shallow and Wang Zhuang, at the second level of Foundation Establishment, and he was the one who led the way in many things.
“I will go and buy the boat tickets, everyone just give me the spirit stones, eight thousand eight hundred top grade spirit stones each.” Zheng Feisheng finished looking at Di Jiu and explained again, “The extra eight hundred upper grade spirit stones per person is because we have to buy a through-board ticket to get on the boat, otherwise we won’t be able to get on the boat at all.”
Di Jiu reckoned that the other party was worried that he wouldn’t be able to get the spirit stones, **thousand upper grade spirit stones was really nothing to him now. He didn’t even talk nonsense and directly took out a large cloth bag and handed it to Zheng Fei Sheng, inside the bag was eight thousand eight hundred top grade spirit stones.
“Fellow Daoist Zi Mo is generous.” Zheng Fei Sheng gave a thumbs up, and after receiving the remaining few people’s spirit stones, he walked towards the ticket window.
Di Jiu saw the ticket prices posted outside the ticket purchase window, and there were several rooms with large room prices that did have a kind of 40,000 upper grade spirit stones, and the 40,000 was also the cheapest kind.
At the same time he also understood why Zheng Feisheng and the others were not looking for people to form a group here, there were postings of grouping information everywhere around here. It looked like it wasn’t an easy task to find people to form a group here.
Zheng Feisheng is very slick and quickly purchased the boat tickets to come. Although many people go to the Sky Curtain, Sand City has a boat going over every month, and the tickets are not particularly tight.
He handed Di Jiu a through-board ticket, “Fellow Daoist Zimmer, I have the ticket for the large room, it’s room C31 on the first floor. Now let’s go to Sand City first to buy what we need, and then we’ll gather in room C31 on the first floor.”
