Chapter 847: City at the Top of the Sky

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the ancient martial arts world, spiritual stones were rare items . The ancient martial art practitioners from some small sects would even see a spiritual stone as a treasure . On a normal basis, they would be reluctant to even use them .

Mo Wen and Ling Feng were both people who had seen the world at large . But even for them, a spiritual stone a day as a fee for a guide made them secretly astonished .

A sect like the Intentionless Sect would at most accumulate three to five hundred spiritual stones a year . On average, that would be around one spiritual stone a day . This was the spiritual stone intake of a large sect .

In Dragon City, a guide had a daily income of one spiritual stone . It was comparable to the income of a sect!

It was no wonder that even though so many special people came to Dragon City, those who hired a guide were rather rare . It wasn’t that they wanted to figure out the Dragon City guidebook on their own, but they could not afford a Dragon City guide .

“May I ask whether you wish to hire a guide?” Tang Zhizh fluttered her eyelashes as she looked at Mo Wen and Ling Feng . She had a hopeful look in her eyes . Since yesterday she had not received even one guest . It was the same as having wasted one day .

She knew that the guide fee was very expensive, but this was the standard price set by the Huatian Palace . She could not do anything about it . In reality, the amount of money that she could earn was just a very small portion . Most of it would be taxed by the Huatian Palace .

However, even so, working in Dragon City was still a lucrative job . Many Huatian Palace Executors had fought for the right to work in Dragon City . It was because of the job income in Dragon City . Even if a large portion of it was deducted by the Huatian Palace, the little portion that was leftover was still a very large sum of wealth .

Tang Zhizhi had worked hard to get the title of Dragon City guide . If everything went smoothly, in one Martial Arts Circle Convention she could at least earn ten spiritual stones . This was wealth that she had never dared to even dream of before .

“What’s the difference between hiring you and not hiring you? I want to know whether you are worth one spiritual stone a day . ”

Mo Wen did not immediately agree . Although he had many spiritual stones, he did not want to fall prey to a scam .

“Sir, it is true that, in the outside world, a fee of one spiritual stone a day is certainly incredible . However, in Dragon City, there will certainly be value for your money . Maybe during a crucial moment, by hiring me, you can even avoid a greater loss . ”

Although Tang Zhizhi felt that the guide fee was expensive, she never thought that it was not worth it . More often than not, one would not only not suffer a loss from hiring a guide, and they would even benefit from it .

“Oh, why is that so?” Mo Wen asked .

“The guides are among the people who are most familiar with Dragon City . If you hire me, you can reduce the number of detours you will take and can avoid violating the laws of Dragon City . Dragon City has its own laws . Some people who did not know this went bankrupt because they repeatedly broke the law and were fined . So, if you hire me, I can point out the law of Dragon City for you at all times . ”

Every guide that entertained a guest would have some ways to promote themselves . Tang Zhizhi was no exception . However, she made no false statements; everything that she said was true .

“Your reasoning managed to convince me . You are my guide now,” Mo Wen stated plainly .

“Hiring me will definitely be worth it! Sir, how many days are you prepared to hire me for?” Tang Zhizhi inquired excitedly . She had finally received her first guest . Guide work in Dragon City was not easy because the number of people who could afford to hire guides was few and far between . Even if some people did not lack funds, very few people were willing to hire a guide at this price .

“I will hire you until I feel that you are no longer of worth . If I feel that today you are no longer worth it, then tomorrow I won’t hire you . If I feel that you are always of worth, then I will hire you until the Martial Arts Circle Convention is over . ”

Although Mo Wen did not lack spiritual stones, he did not want to spend lavishly .

“Really? That’s wonderful . You will definitely recognize my value,” Tang Zhizhi exclaimed with an excited look . She never thought that she would encounter a nouveau riche, and a super nouveau riche at that . This youth did not look like someone who lacked money .

Some of the Dragon City guides around them saw that Tang Zhizhi had managed to strike a deal . They immediately shot her looks of envy . For guides in Dragon City, striking a deal with a guest was not easy . Securing a long-term paying client was even rarer .

Ling Feng also looked at Mo Wen with a slightly surprised expression . This fellow seemed to be ostentatious . Even Ling Feng had never been so rich .

With Tang Zhizhi as a guide, Mo Wen did not need to figure out the Dragon City guidebook anymore . The three of them went on their way .

Tang Zhizhi told them that they were not currently in Dragon City and were instead on the outskirts . They still had to walk a fair distance before they reached Dragon City .

“Is it the first time you have both been to Dragon City?” Tang Zhizhi looked at Mo Wen and Ling Feng curiously .

Mo Wen nodded his head, then turned his gaze to Ling Feng . This elder had lived for more than two hundred years . This must not be the first time he had come to Dragon City .

“Dragon City? I have forgotten how many times I have come here, but it is certainly not fewer than ten times . ”

Ling Feng looked in front of him, a flash of emotion flashing in his eyes .

“Ah!”

Tang Zhizhi looked in astonishment at Ling Feng who was beside her . This elder was clearly not from an ordinary background; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have been able to come to Dragon City so many times . Although Dragon City was open once every five years, not just anyone who wanted to come could do so . Even those who had Dragon City Talismans who attended the Martial Arts Circle Convention could not come to the following two conventions or for ten years . Unless they were from the sects that participated in the Martial Arts Circle Convention battle royale, the number of times they could come to Dragon City would be restricted .

In reality, the people who came for the Martial Arts Circle Convention were just a small group of people . Most of the people came to Dragon City with other goals in mind . Based on what Tang Zhizhi knew, the ancient martial art practitioners from the various large Inner worlds usually made up more than sixty percent of the total population . As for the main space ancient martial art practitioners that could participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention battle royale, they would at most make up ten percent .

“The last time I came to Dragon City was seventy years ago . After so many years, I am not really familiar with Dragon City anymore . I will not affect your job,” Ling Feng said with a smile . He knew the meaning behind Tang Zhizhi’s astonished expression . A person who had come to Dragon City no fewer than ten times would naturally be very familiar with Dragon City .

“Senior, you must be kidding . You must certainly be more familiar with Dragon City than I am . ” Tang Zhizhi smiled bashfully . Seventy years ago, she had not even been born .

They walked for around fifty kilometers and could finally see the outline of Dragon City in the distance . However, Mo Wen discovered that although Dragon City was in sight, they were still at least a hundred kilometers away .

From a distance of a hundred kilometers, he could actually make out the outline of Dragon City . The scale of Dragon City was unimaginable .

A hundred kilometers was a terrifying distance for ordinary people, but for ancient martial art practitioners like them, it wasn’t far at all .

The three of them were all traveling on foot . Mo Wen noticed that the gravity in the Dragon City Mystery Dimension was far greater than that in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension . It was at least ten times that of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension .

Even Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners could not fly in the Dragon City Mystery Dimension, let alone those at the Embryonic Breathing Realm . Only those at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm or above had the ability to fly .

“Do you know what Dragon City is built on?”

Along the way, Ling Feng spoke very little, being somewhat taciturn . He merely walked behind Mo Wen as though he was Mo Wen’s shadow . Tang Zhizhi knew that this person did not wish for others to disturb him . So she casually struck up a conversation with Mo Wen .

After finding out that this was Mo Wen’s first time in Dragon City, she felt that as a guide, she had to give him more information about the city .

“Oh, isn’t Dragon City built on the ground?” Mo Wen asked curiously .

“Dragon City is not built on the ground . Instead, it is built at the top of the sky . ” Tang Zhizhi smiled . “More precisely, Dragon City is built on a scepter,” she said .

“On top of a scepter?” Mo Wen clearly did not understand what Tang Zhizhi was telling him .

“The majesty and mystery of Dragon City are beyond our wildest imaginations . Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly understand . Dragon City is a city at the top of the sky, built on top of the scepter of a goddess . If you want to take a look at the full view of the Dragon City Mystery Dimension, I suggest you head to the observation platforms . There are sky mirrors on the observation platforms that can show the full view of the Dragon City Mystery Dimension . However, it is quite expensive to use a sky mirror . ”

Not many people could afford to use a sky mirror . It cost ten spiritual stones to look through one once . Very few people were willing to pay such an astronomical price just to see the full view of the Dragon City Mystery Dimension . However, Tang Zhizhi thought that it was quite worth it . The Dragon City Mystery Dimension was one of the most mysterious mystery dimensions in this world . Its level of majesty was absolutely beyond the imagination .

Using a sky mirror cost ten spiritual stones?

Mo Wen suddenly felt that even a super-wealthy nouveau riche like him had to keep a low profile here in Dragon City .

Dragon City was an ancient city that had been around since ancient times . Rumor had it that it was impossible to establish when the city had been founded, but it must have been a very long time ago .

After countless eras of decay, Dragon City did not show any signs of deterioration; instead, it had become both more grand and ancient .

From a hundred kilometers away, Mo Wen experienced the immenseness of Dragon City . However, as he got closer, this experience became even more vivid .

The city walls were three thousand meters tall, standing before him like a prehistoric monster . Even in the main space, there were few mountain peaks that were three thousand meters tall . Three thousand meter tall city walls were unimaginable .

When Mo Wen reached the bottom of Dragon City’s walls, a wild aura surged forward, causing one to subconsciously imagine how ancient this city was . It seemed as though countless eons ago, it was already standing at the top of the sky .

“Rumor has it that Dragon City has existed since the Ancient Age and has survived until now,” Tang Zhizhi stated softly . Countless eons and the river of history could not bury this ancient city .

Ling Feng looked at the majestic city before him with a complicated gaze . He had stood before this city when he was a youth . Now his hair was white and he was standing here once again . Times had changed . It felt as though more than two hundred years had passed in an instant . From a handsome young man, he had become an elder approaching his grave . As for Dragon City, it had not changed since ancient times .

“Where are the observation platforms?” Mo Wen was suddenly interested in seeing the full view of this Dragon City Mystery Dimension . He wanted to feel the charm of this city at the top of the sky .

“The observation platforms are just at the top of the city walls,” Tang Zhizhi said with a smile .
