C20 Return to Purple Cloud

Although the storm in the town was not a big deal, it still made the four of them feel a little down. After walking for a long distance, the four of them did not say a word.

Amongst the four of them, only Duanmu Xiaoyun had been to Violet Cloud City. In order to break the silence, he slowly introduced the situation there.

The reason that the Violet Cloud City was famous in the Kingdom of Nanxiong was not because it was the third largest city in the Kingdom of Nanxiong. It was because there was a man named Nanyun, the brother of the current Emperor, who was the same mother as the current Emperor.

Nan Rong and Xiao Yao were just like their names. They did not want to be emperors and liked to live a free and unfettered life. This was what he thought, but the current emperor didn't think so. He felt that with Nan Rong's carefree and unfettered presence in front of him, he would forever be a thorn in his way to ascend the throne.

However, he wasn't willing to carry the notoriety of being brothers and sisters with each other. If he really did so, he would completely lose his trust in front of the old emperor.

This expert was proficient in soul attacks. In just one trip, Nan Rong had been unknowingly injured by this expert, and if he wanted to completely recover, it would take at least several decades.

The old emperor was already on the verge of death. How could he continue for so long? His soul had been damaged and his cultivation could no longer progress any further. He had been quickly overtaken by the current emperor.

Thus, in this world that revered cultivation, Nirong and Xiao Yao had completely lost the chance to fight for the throne. Even though 70% of the ministers in the imperial court had supported him, he had no choice but to change his mind.

The current emperor had ascended to the throne. In order to win over the hearts of the people, he had bestowed Nangrong his unfettered status as the Carefree King and Violet Cloud City his territory. He was allowed to rule over 300,000 troops.

As for the introduction of Violet Cloud City, Duanmu Yunxiao continued to recount it in detail while Lu Qingfeng listened attentively from the side. In truth, Lu Qingfeng was not really interested in these things, but out of respect for Duanmu, he still listened attentively.

What Lu Qingfeng truly cared about was how to survive freely in this world. How to quickly raise his cultivation, and how to better protect his family from harm. Other than these, the rest were just passing by.

A journey of more than 20,000 li was not too far, and there was still plenty of time for the cultivators to travel. Therefore, the four of them were like sightseeing, stopping to stroll along the road and watch the morning sun rise and the evening sun set. Along the way, there was no end of satisfaction.

In the blink of an eye, a month of time quietly slipped through the gaps between his fingers like sand. A new year was coming and the weather was freezing cold. Looking at the entire world, one could see a vast expanse of white, causing one to feel that the color of the world was a bit monotonous.

It was like a red lantern hanging in the sky, giving people a direction to move forward. It was just that at this time, it no longer gave people any warmth, and only added a gorgeous and colorful touch to the huge painting.

In the distance, four youths were treading on snow. Due to the snow covering the entire world, they didn't seem to have much dust on them from the long journey, and the four of them weren't exhausted. As they walked, they were still chatting happily.

Following the direction of the rising sun, a huge city had already entered their line of sight. Under the reflection of the sunlight, the city walls began to emit a faint purple glow.

Standing in front of the city gates, if one looked carefully, they would notice that the city walls were made of purple clouds stone. Looking at the front, each cloud stone was two meters long and one meter tall.

Entering through the city gate was like entering the clouds. The entire city looked magnificent, giving people a feeling of being in the clouds and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the clouds in the painting.

Lu Qingfeng and his party of four stood outside the moat as they scrutinized the ancient city. Lu Qingfeng and his party of four came from the east and arrived at the east gate of the city.

The east gate was made up of a main gate and two side gates. The three gates were arched, the main gate was thirty meters wide, and the two side gates were about half the size of the main gate.

In front of the city gate tower, a large purple flag was fluttering in the wind. Standing in front of the city gate, one could see a colorful banner fluttering in the wind, and beside each banner, a soldier wearing a purple armor, holding a long spear in his hand, was standing there like a javelin.

Soon, it was time to open the city gates. At this moment, several thousand people had already gathered outside the moat, waiting to enter the city.

A few minutes later, from the direction of the city gates, a creaking sound could be heard. On the main city gates, two large gates that were studded with fist-sized nails slowly opened up. Following that, the secondary city gates on both sides of the gate also opened up.

After the suspension bridge was lowered, the people who were waiting to enter the city filed into the city. At the city gates, several dozen soldiers were orderly maintaining the order of the people entering the city.

When Lu Qingfeng and the other three were about to approach the city gate, Duanmu Xiaoyun was recognized by one of the soldiers. This soldier immediately pushed his way through the crowd and arrived in front of the four people, and just as he was about to salute, he was stopped by Duanmu Xiaoyun.

Entering the city, Duanmu Xiaoyun immediately said, "I reckon that the shops in the city have already started to open. I think we should first exchange our harvest from the Godly Broken Mountain range for crystals, and then I'll buy some gifts. After that, we'll go to the Carefree Palace. What do you think?"

Although Duanmu Xiaoyun had been here before, he couldn't possibly know every nook and cranny of this place like the back of his hand. However, he was the only one who had been here among the four of them.

After careful observation, he discovered that no matter what aspect Violet Cloud City was in, it was much stronger than Navy Tide City. The title of the third largest city was indeed worthy of its reputation.

At this moment, a young man dressed like a waiter was sweeping the ground in front of the store. When he saw the four of them approaching, he hurriedly put down his tools and went up to them, enthusiastically saying, "Welcome, esteemed guests. May I ask if you would like to buy or sell something? Please come to the store for a chat."

When they arrived at the trading firm, they couldn't help but to size up the trading firm. It was around three hundred square meters with a circular counter that took up the majority of the space, leaving only narrow aisles for pedestrians to pass through.

Looking at the layout of the trading firm, Lu Qingfeng asked the shop assistant, "Did you purchase a complete corpse of a magical beast here?" The shop assistant's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Qingfeng's words. He immediately said, "Of course I have. As long as the guests are willing to sell it, we will take as much as we can. Furthermore, in Violet Cloud City, there is no other fair price."

"Do you have a bigger place here?" Lu Qingfeng added, "We have too many magical beasts in our hands. We can't store them in this place."

As soon as Lu Qingfeng's words came out, the servant immediately felt a sense of joy and relief. He immediately said with a face full of smiles, "Of course there is. In the backyard, how many magical beasts can be put away? Everyone, please follow me."

The few of them followed the shop assistant to the backyard, and indeed, it was as the shop assistant had said. The area of the backyard was not small, and the magical beasts they had harvested were not a problem.

In the God Breaking Mountain Range, Lu Qingfeng had acquired a total of ten of the lowest grade of red storage rings, each of which was less than ten cubic meters. In addition to Duanmu, Tianyun, and the two hundred cubic meters of yellow storage rings, all of these storage rings were filled with the corpses of magical beasts.

These magical beasts piled up together like a small mountain. The shop assistant's eyes were fixed on them, and it had been a long time since they last moved. Only after several people reminded him did he finally come to his senses. Scratching his head in embarrassment, he said, "Dear guests, there are too many magic beasts. I alone need more than two days to calculate the price. I'll go find the boss, please wait." Not long after the shop assistant left, he returned with the boss.

The evaluation of the complete magical beasts was very time-consuming. The fur, bones, flesh, internal organs, and magic cores had to be calculated separately, and there were 150 of them. The owner divided the magical beasts into three groups, divided them into three groups.

The boss said to the four of them, "There are one hundred Class 3 Magical Beasts, each one thousand crystals, for a total of one hundred thousand crystals. Fifty Class 4 Magical Beasts, each with three thousand crystals. A total of one hundred and fifty thousand crystals.

Duanmu Xiaoyun. He Tianyun and Zhu Youcai turned to look at Lu Qingfeng, hoping that he would make a decision. The boss watched from the side without saying a word. Lu Qingfeng also did not stand on ceremony. He nodded and said, "Boss, it's a deal."

When the boss heard this, he was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I will go get the crystals." Soon, the shop owner returned with a third class yellow storage ring. He handed it directly to Lu Qingfeng and said, "Here are two hundred and fifty thousand crystals. Please keep it properly."

After the discussion, each person was given 60,000 crystals. Lu Qingfeng took them as storage rings, and the remaining 10,000 crystals to buy gifts for King Xiao Yao.

It was almost noon when everyone finished buying their gifts. Under Duanmu Xiaoyun's lead, they headed straight for the Carefree Palace …

"Yes."
