The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3201 - 3176: Longhe County! Qingyun City!

Lin Bai stood on the Spirit Boat, watching it glide over the forested mountain ranges of Longhe County, finally seeing a magnificent city emerge ahead.

Countless warriors were bustling in and out of the city, forming an unending stream.

"Qingyun City, we’ve arrived!"

At this moment, the Spirit Boat of Tianbao Tower landed outside of Qingyun City, not entering within the city gates.

After landing, the manager of Tianbao Tower said: "The rules of the Central Holy Nation dictate that no Spirit Boat shall appear in the airspace above a city. Furthermore, every city in the Central Holy Nation is equipped with extremely powerful Airspace Restriction Arrays. Unless you are nobility, it is impossible to fly directly into the city."

"Therefore, we can only stop outside the city. Ahead is Qingyun City; it will take less than half an hour to get there."

"The Central Holy Nation, although known as the sacred land of martial arts, is particularly dangerous here. Please be very careful!"

"Tianbao Tower bids you farewell here. If fate allows, we will meet again in the Jianghu!"

"Please proceed."

After the manager of Tianbao Tower had spoken, all the warriors cupped their fists in thanks, jumped off the Spirit Boat, and headed towards Qingyun City.

"Oh, finally arrived, let’s go." The sloppy old man also opened his bleary eyes, stretched lazily, jumped off the Spirit Boat, and, holding his beloved wine jug, smiled as he walked towards Qingyun City.

Lin Bai also quietly stepped off the Spirit Boat, heading towards Qingyun City.

At this moment, Lin Bai was following behind the sloppy old man, step by step, walking towards Qingyun City.

Upon entering Qingyun City, Lin Bai noticed that the streets on either side were filled with Magic Circles. If one wasn’t an invited guest, it would be difficult to break through these Magic Circles without facing consequences!

The warriors from the East Continent, who had arrived by Spirit Boat, dispersed upon entering Qingyun City, each heading in their own direction.

Lin Bai walked on the street, observing the sloppy old man ahead of him. This person walked through Qingyun City with great familiarity, as if he knew the place very well.

After walking through several streets, the sloppy old man frowned, turned his head to look back, and smiled, saying: "Young man, you’ve come to Qingyun City, yet you’re not seeking pleasure. Why are you following this old man?"

Standing behind the sloppy old man, Lin Bai chuckled and said: "I have the impression that Senior seems to know the Central Holy Nation very well?"

The sloppy old man laughed and said: "Of course, I know it well. I’ve wandered within the thousand counties of the Central Holy Nation since childhood, and I’m very familiar with it!"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "That’s perfect. I would like to consult Senior on a few matters!"

The sloppy old man asked: "What questions do you have?"

Lin Bai said: "I want to know, if I wish to investigate some secret events regarding the Central Holy Nation, where should I go?"

The sloppy old man laughed and said: "That’s easy, go to the Celestial Monitoring Ministry. They have archives of all major events occurring on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

Lin Bai asked: "How does one go to the Celestial Monitoring Ministry?"

The sloppy old man said: "To go to the Celestial Monitoring Ministry..."

As he said this, the sloppy old man paused slightly, his eyes sparkled, and he took a sip from his wine jug, smiling as he said: "Haha, young man, you see, my wine jug is empty. Without wine, I can’t remember anything at all!"

Lin Bai gave a wry smile, naturally understanding the sloppy old man’s meaning, and said: "Then let’s find a place with wine and have a good chat!"

"Alright, alright," the sloppy old man laughed, "there’s a tavern up ahead with the best wine in all of Qingyun City. I’ve always wanted to go, but never had the opportunity!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly and walked forward, walking side by side with the sloppy old man.

Soon, the two arrived before an extremely lavish inn, Lin Bai looked up, realizing this inn was not a place for ordinary people to afford.

The sloppy old man, without a second thought, walked straight in.

Lin Bai had no choice but to follow him inside.

The sloppy old man laughed and said: "Waiter, bring the wine!"

After finding a table by the window, the sloppy old man sat down and called the waiter to bring wine.

The waiter glanced at the sloppy old man, his eyes gleaming—this person looked like a tramp who hadn’t bathed in years, how could he have any money?

The waiter strutted over disdainfully and said: "Our wine here is extremely expensive. I wonder if the two of you can afford it?"

The sloppy old man retorted angrily: "What kind of talk is that? We wouldn’t come out to drink if we couldn’t afford it!"

The waiter glanced at the sloppy old man and Lin Bai, chuckling lightly: "This young master here looks respectable, but you..."

The sloppy old man snapped: "What’s wrong with me! Bring the wine quickly, or I’ll smash your inn!"

Lin Bai said helplessly: "Waiter, bring the wine!"

The sloppy old man added: "Bring the best wine you have in the inn!"

The waiter replied coldly: "Then please wait a moment!"

Not long after, the waiter brought some fine wine and dishes, and the sloppy old man devoured them as if he hadn’t eaten in years.

Lin Bai sat opposite the sloppy old man, silently watching him eat and drink, not moving himself.

The sloppy old man didn’t invite Lin Bai to eat or drink, simply enjoying himself.

After half an hour, the sloppy old man, full and satisfied, wiped his greasy lips and said with a grin: "Ah, it’s been years since I’ve had something so delicious."

Lin Bai said: "Now that we’ve eaten our fill, let’s settle the bill!"

The waiter came over and said with a smile: "Sirs, that will be three hundred million Spirit Liquid!"

Hearing this number, Lin Bai turned pale and looked at the waiter in shock, startled by the number.

How can a mere meal cost three hundred million Spirit Liquid?

Though Lin Bai’s storage bag wasn’t lacking in Spirit Liquid, holding around seven hundred million, he hadn’t expected a single meal to cost three hundred million!

The sloppy old man, seeing Lin Bai’s surprised expression, secretly whispered to him: "This place is the best inn in Qingyun City, naturally the food and drink are pricier. Kid, you’re not going to tell me you have no Spirit Liquid, are you!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, retrieved three hundred million Spirit Liquid from his storage bag, and paid the bill.

Before leaving, the sloppy old man even asked for a jug of good wine to carry in his arms, leaving happily.

Upon leaving the inn, Lin Bai said: "Now, can you tell me?"

The sloppy old man shrugged and said: "We just had a good meal and good wine, no need to rush. Let’s find a place to take a bath and then talk!"

"Come on, come on, I’ll take you to a bathhouse."

"Once we’re soaking in the hot spring, I’ll tell you slowly!"

The sloppy old man pulled Lin Bai along, heading to another part of Qingyun City.

Soon, the sloppy old man led Lin Bai to a manor outside, and from afar, Lin Bai could see some sons of nobility, dressed in luxurious clothes, coming and going. Clearly, this place was also a Golden Cave.

When the sloppy old man pulled Lin Bai inside, sure enough, the place...
