Chapter 107: Livelihoods
"Alright, let's pack up. We're leaving tomorrow." As Duan Chuchen said this, Zhao Yunloong and Zhou Zijian braced themselves and started to clean up.
On the second day, Duan Chuchen and the other two set off towards the Heavenly Star Empire. At this time, the three of them were all Heaven realm experts, so their flying speed was extremely fast.
However, Zhao Yunloong was only a Early Period of the Heavenly Martial Stage warrior and his flying time was very short. As for Zhou Zijian, he was a Middle Period of the Heavenly Martial Stage warrior and his flying time was also very short.
Duan Chuchen directly brought the two of them and flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Star Empire Imperial Capital at the same time. The Heavenly Star Empire Capital was around a hundred thousand kilometers away from the Heavenly Refining Sect, and Duan Chuchen only needed to fly for twenty days to reach it.
Duan Chuchen's "Buried God Sword Soul" was constantly supplying him with spirit energy, and Duan Chuchen did not need to be afraid of the consumption of spirit energy. At this moment, Zhou Zijian and Zhao Yunloong were both shocked by Duan Chuchen's huge amount of spirit energy, but Duan Chuchen could not continuously fly, even with an endless supply of spirit energy.
Duan Chuchen would have to rest for a period of time after every day of flight to start his journey. After reaching the Heaven realm, he already had the ability to communicate with the heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the world, and nurture his own body. He only needed to rest for a couple of hours every day, and he would be able to return to his peak condition.
Time passed by day by day, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. At this time, Duan Chuchen and the other two had already arrived at the city gate of Heavenly Star Empire Imperial City, and they were only a few hundred meters away from the city gate. Duan Chuchen had already let go of Zhou Zijian and Wu Tie, because in the capital, martial artists who did not reach the Divine Martial Realm were not allowed to fly, and this was as disrespectful and contemptuous to the country as it was to him.
Once they discovered an expert whose cultivation was not yet at the Divine Martial Realm flying around the imperial city, they would attract the city's law enforcement team to adjudicate down on those that looked down on the empire.
Duan Chuchen and the other two were still five hundred meters away from the imperial city when they heard the noise that came from the capital. They looked at the imperial city in the distance and felt the splendor and grandeur of it.
The walls of the imperial city alone were several dozen feet high. The thick walls of the city looked very solid, so thick that no one could see through them.
Duan Chuchen and the other two walked towards the imperial city. They arrived at the city gate in a short amount of time. The city gate was sixty meters tall, and it looked many times more imposing than the Zihan City.
People were entering the imperial city one after another, and each and every one of them was guarding the city gate. Anyone who entered the imperial city would need to pay a piece of Profound Crystal.
Everyone practiced martial arts on the Heavenly Star Empire, and everyone advocated martial arts. Therefore, even if it was a normal person, they would at least have a little bit of cultivation, and would at least be an expert who had just entered the clan. Therefore, within the Heavenly Star Empire, Profound Crystals had already become the currency of the people, and once one had entered the Heavenly Star Empire, they would have to hand over a piece of Profound Crystal.
Zhao Yunloong and Zhao Yunloong looked at the stunned Duan Chuchen with doubt in their eyes: "What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yunloong asked curiously.
Duan Chuchen said helplessly, "Did you forget?" When we came out, Sect Master and the others asked us not to carry a single piece of profound crystal with us, how are we supposed to enter without them? "
Zhao Yunloong and Zhou Zijian were both dumbfounded. The three of them didn't have any Xuan Crystals on them, so it was impossible for them to enter the Hungry Imperial City.
Zhao Yulong's temper flared up, "F * ck, so be it. If we try to pass it down, those soldiers only have an ordinary cultivation and the strongest is only at Earth Martial. Are they able to stop me?"
"You can't!" Duan Chuchen and Liu Tie shouted out at almost the same time, and were immediately frightened by Zhao Yunloong. What kind of place was Heavenly Star Empire? Even the experts of Peak of the Divine Martial Stage numbered in more than a dozen places, and although they were far from being able to match up to Heavenly Refining Sect, making a ruckus within them was simply courting death. At this point of time, Duan Chuchen and the other two were not strong to such an extent yet.
"Although our Heavenly Star Empire is not as good as yours, experts are as common as the clouds. Forget about Divine Martial Expert, even Heaven realm experts would need to bury us alive using their sea of people tactics. You don't want to live anymore." Zhou Zijian scolded.
Zhao Yunloong chuckled, "Don't be serious, I was just saying it. How could I be that stupid?" Zhao Yunloong scratched his head shyly as he said that.
At this moment, Duan Chuchen finally understood what it meant to be a hero who was hard to earn a single cent. He had the ability, so as long as he entered the imperial city, would he not have the chance to earn Xuan Crystals?
However, the three of them did not even have the chance to enter the imperial city. They were starting to feel troubled, not to mention earning Xuan Crystals.
Just at this time, Zhao Yunloong said: "What about this, aren't you an alchemist? If you don't have any Profound Crystals on you, you still have Profound Rank Medicine Pill, so why don't you take out some as Profound Crystals and give it to those soldiers? After all, Profound Rank Medicine Pill is even more valuable than Profound Crystals; a low-grade Profound Rank Medicine Pill is probably worth ten pieces of Profound Crystals, so they should be able to enter.
Duan Chuchen frowned and said, "Looks like that's the only way." After saying so, the three of them walked towards the imperial city and lined up.
After a while, it was Duan Chuchen and the other two guys' turn to enter the city. The two soldiers at the beginning of the mortal world coldly looked at Duan Chuchen and the other two and said, "Everyone needs to hand in one Xuan Crystal."
Duan Chuchen chuckled, "Soldier Brother, we came to the Capital in the first place. We have used up all the Xuan Crystals we have on us. I wonder if we can use this instead." With that, Duan Chuchen took out a bottle of Medicine Pill.
The soldier impatiently received the Medicine Pill and opened the bottle stopper. A faint medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out; this was clearly a low level Profound Rank Medicine Pill.
In a short moment, the two soldiers were beaming with joy as they said, "Yes, yes, absolutely. You can go in." Duan Chuchen and the other two then let out a sigh of relief and walked towards the imperial city.
One lower grade Profound Rank Medicine Pill was equivalent to five or ten Profound Crystals for a Peak of the Ordinary Martial Ranker. After the two soldiers saw the three Blood Coagulation Pills, they knew that they had earned a huge profit. As long as they sold the Blood Coagulation Pills and handed over the three Profound Crystals, the rest would belong to the two of them.
Once they entered the imperial city, Duan Chuchen and the other two looked like countryside bumpkins entering the city. Their eyes lit up as they saw the majestic architecture of the city, with almost every building reaching the fifth floor.
The place in front of the imperial city was the imperial city of Heavenly Star Empire. The imperial city was built in a very grand fashion, and Duan Chuchen had built a large number of them, with each floor reaching a height of nine stories, and each floor was equivalent to two stories of ordinary buildings. The area he was in was much larger than his Heavenly Refining Sect, and the streets were filled with people, shops, restaurants, and small stalls everywhere.
The trio's eyes were filled with emotion. Zhao Yunloong said in distress, "What should we do now? We don't have a place to live in the empire, so we can't just walk around on the streets, right?"
Duan Chuchen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Let's go." There will always be a chance. " With that, Duan Chuchen led the two of them on a stroll.
Soon, they arrived at the notice board in the imperial city. At this moment, the notice board was full of people, so Duan Chuchen and the other two quickly squeezed inside.
At this moment, the city wall was covered with densely packed notices. Duan Chuchen began to look around, and on top of the notices were recruitment experts of the Heaven realm as guards, and delivery experts as well.
Not long later, Duan Chuchen saw a notice. It was posted with Tianxin Chamber Of Commerce, which read: "The Tianxin Chamber Of Commerce accepts alchemists."
Duan Chuchen began to speak, "Did you see that? As long as we come to the imperial city, there will be a place for us everywhere." Zhao Yunloong and Zhou Zijian nodded with a hint of excitement in their eyes.
The reason why Duan Chuchen chose to be a pill refiner was because the profession of an alchemist was very aloof. If you wanted to be a guard, then people would order you around as a servant, but being an alchemist was different. No matter where you went, people would treat you as their ancestor.
To apply for an alchemist, not only would it increase Duan Chuchen's pill refining experience, it would also increase his pill refining experience. To Duan Chuchen, this was an opportunity for him to train.
Duan Chuchen walked toward the Tianxin Chamber Of Commerce according to the position on the notice. Not long later, he saw two areas where Tianxin Chamber Of Commerce was recruiting people.
One area was for recruiting martial artists, so the recruitment area was already lined up. Duan Chuchen and the other two estimated that there were at least three hundred people applying for martial artists in their Tianxin Chamber Of Commerce.
And on the other side, there were so few people that there was not even a single person. An expert at the peak of Earth Martial was sitting there, yawning with eyes filled with sleepiness.
Alchemy masters were obviously hard to find. With such a large Heavenly Star Empire, alchemists that could gather within the imperial city were few and far in between. Even if Tianxin Chamber Of Commerce were to be recruited for a long time, it would still not be enough to recruit a few. No matter if it was the alchemist or refiner, both had already gathered at the Heavenly Refining Sect, so how could the Heavenly Star Empire accept many people?
Heavenly Refining Sect was the place where alchemists and refiner yearned for …
