Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 403 - 195: Galin Bodhisattva Travels Miles to Seek, How Could I Possibly Become a Monk
Spiritual Crane Immortal City was surrounded by a No-fly Array, with only one entrance.
Cultivators arriving by air continuously landed on the ground and headed towards the city gate.
Besides the cultivators who had passed the Immortal Sect Disciples’ inspection and were entering the city gate in a steady stream, a large number of caravans and cultivators had also gathered there. These were clearly merchant caravans from various dynasties.
After Lin Xuankong and his group landed, they merged with the crowd heading towards the city gate. Li Xiaohu quickly went ahead to gather information.
A moment later, Little Hu returned. He said with some reluctance, "Foster Father, the caravans from various dynasties are all being stopped outside the city gate. It’s said that for the past three months, due to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony, unauthorized people aren’t allowed into the city. To enter Spiritual Crane Immortal City, one must pay enough Profound Truth Jade, and the fees are nearly ten times higher than usual!"
Elder Steward Hu Shuo was somewhat surprised. "To enter Spiritual Crane Immortal City, one must pay Profound Truth Jade? Even a Low-grade Profound Truth Jade is worth several pieces of Exorcism Equipment. Two or three pieces of Low-grade Profound Truth Jade could be exchanged for a full set of Battle Armor! This Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect really knows how to make money!"
Yang Mountain frowned and said, "The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect might not just be trying to make money. It’s probably because this disciple recruitment ceremony has attracted too many cultivators, and they need to maintain order! After all, as cultivators, who wouldn’t want to join an Immortal Sect, especially one as renowned in the Central Divine Dynasty as the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. "According to Lan, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, among the many Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty, may not be the absolute top, but it still ranks among the top twenty. After all, to exclusively possess thirty-two peaks with Profound Truth Jade Ore Veins, build an Immortal City, and protect billions of ordinary people and cultivators... achieving all this without formidable military strength is impossible! Lan also said that the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect publicly announced they have thirty-two Earth Immortals. However, they actually hide much of their true strength, including several Supreme Elders with unfathomable power."
At this point, he looked at Little Hu. "How much is the entrance fee?"
Li Xiaohu replied, "I just asked an Immortal Sect Disciple. One Low-grade Profound Truth Jade can bring in only three cultivators, and the sect will issue a Passing Jade Token valid for one year."
Han Loo’s brow furrowed deeply upon hearing this. "One Low-grade Profound Truth Jade allows only three cultivators to enter for a year? There are at least thirty thousand cultivators gathered in Spiritual Crane Immortal City right now! Doesn’t this mean that the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect will collect tens of thousands of pieces of Profound Truth Jade from this alone? This... this is too profitable! Chief, when will you establish an Immortal City and charge entrance fees too? I’ll volunteer to guard the gate for you!"
Li Er, Yang Mountain, Liy Ruofeng, and Liy Ruoqing all shook their heads, clearly envious of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s knack for making money. For cultivators like them from small, remote dynasties, it was rare to even see a single piece of Profound Truth Jade.
If it weren’t for their acquaintance with Lin Xuankong, they might never have had the chance in their entire lives to see whether Profound Truth Jade was round or flat.
They knew Lin Xuankong was now wealthy, often selling Heavy Water Spiritual Objects worth thousands of pieces of Profound Truth Jade. However, that wealth was earned through tangible sales of treasures, unlike the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, which merely had to open its gates to receive an endless stream of Profound Truth Jade.
Hu Shuo exclaimed, his face full of envy.
Li Er shook his head.Li Xiaohu said, forcing a smile.
Hearing this, a look of anticipation also flickered in Lin Xuankong’s eyes.
Lin Xuankong had been relentlessly promoting Profound Iron Machinery within his Ba Mountain Secret Realm. Consequently, its productivity was far greater than that of other dynasties and even Immortal Sects. After all, not even among Immortal Sects would an Immortal willingly spend time and energy refining Profound Iron Equipment for their subordinates and the common people to use.
Especially with the Plant Spirit Bottle gifted by Galin Bodhisattva, it was foreseeable that the production of rare Spirit Herbs and Elixir in Lin Xuankong’s Ba Mountain Secret Realm would increase by hundreds of times in the future.
At this moment, Lin Xuankong gazed expectantly at the towering Immortal City before him. He took out three pieces of Profound Truth Jade from his robes and handed them to Little Hu.
A confident expression appeared on his face. "There’s no need to stand here envying the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Once I become an Immortal and figure out the method to advance to the Immortal Tier, Little Hu, you and everyone else will soon become Immortals too!"
