Chapter 492: The Holy Cave
Therefore, when Su Chen saw the Shenxing grass growing like weeds on the roadside, he felt dazed.
To make an analogy, it was like a person who was once extremely poor, suddenly opened his eyes one morning and saw countless gold, silver and jewelry piled in front of him.
It can be imagined that the people of Yunyuan Empire should not know about the elixir of double effect pills, nor do they know that Shenxing grass is a necessary material for refining double effect pills.
Therefore, they allowed so many Shenxing grasses to grow wildly here like weeds, and no one even went to collect them.
"Is this grass abundant in the imperial capital?" Su Chen asked.
Li Shitong glanced at him and said, "Why do I feel that you are so interested in this worthless purple condensation grass? Yes, the imperial capital is rich in purple condensation grass. To be precise, it is the Yunyuan Empire that is rich in purple condensation grass. I heard from my master that the purple condensation grass in the thirteen countries of Dongzhou combined would not be as much as the purple condensation grass in the Yunyuan Empire."
"Really?"
Su Chen fell into deeper contemplation.
Li Shitong waited for a long time for Su Chen to speak again, and couldn't help but glared at Su Chen angrily. This guy was so obsessed with the purple condensation grass, could that broken grass be more attractive than these beautiful women?
Just when Li Shitong was sulking alone, the carriage had arrived at the gate of the imperial capital.
From a distance, the tall and simple city walls, the antique city gates, the endless stream of people, and the curling smoke from the city walls gave people a very prosperous feeling.
Even Su Chen came to the imperial capital for the first time in his past and present lives.
The imperial capital is the largest and richest city in the Yunyuan Empire, and it is also the location of the imperial palace. In the imperial palace, the royal family of the Yunyuan Empire, the Liu family, lives.
Among the thirteen countries in Dongzhou, the Yunyuan Empire is one of the weakest countries in national strength. In fact, Li Shitong said before that the Yunyuan Empire was rich in purple condensed grass, but in fact, the only thing that was rich in the Yunyuan Empire was purple condensed grass. As for other minerals, natural materials and treasures, they were far inferior to other countries and belonged to a very barren area.
It is precisely because of this that the Yunyuan Empire has never had any wars and lived in comfort.
But it is also because of this that the national strength of the Yunyuan Empire is very weak among the thirteen countries in Dongzhou. If it were not for the fact that the royal family of the Yunyuan Empire, the Liu family, was a branch of the Liu family among the eight ancient families in Dongzhou, the Yunyuan Empire might have had no foothold long ago.
In Dongzhou, the emperors of the thirteen countries are only the ones in power on the surface, and the eight ancient families are the ones who really have the power behind the scenes. Their power is above the imperial power of the thirteen countries.
These are all what Su Chen knew in his previous life.
The group jumped off the carriage and walked towards the city gate.
As he walked, Su Chen took out a black mask he had bought from a roadside shop and put it on his face.
There was a long queue at the city gate, and each person had to pay ten taels of silver to enter the city.
If you want to live in the imperial capital for a longer period of time, you need to pay fifty taels of silver to apply for a residence certificate.
There is no need to check the household registration to apply for a residence certificate, you just need to report your name. When it was Su Chen's turn, the guard in charge asked, "Name?"
"Chen Shu." Su Chen said.
"Take it off
Su Chen took off the black mask, and the other party took a look and confirmed that he was not a wanted criminal, so he pulled out a residence certificate, wrote down the name "Chen Shu" and handed it to Su Chen.
Next, Li Shitong and others also applied for residence certificates and walked into the city gate.
"Su Chen, why don't you apply with your real name?" Li Shitong asked curiously, "And you are wearing a mask. "
The guards in the imperial capital don't care whether you wear a mask when you walk around the city. The reason why you have to take off the mask when entering the city is just to prevent wanted criminals from sneaking into the city.
Su Chen touched the mask and smiled faintly: "I have some enemies here."
Su Chen is mainly afraid of Zhengyi Sect and Dongchan Sect. Although the mountain gates of these two sects are not in the imperial capital, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no one from them in the imperial capital. It is more convenient to act under a pseudonym.
Even if his identity is accidentally exposed, Su Chen still has the title of Dan King.
It can be said to be a double insurance.
Walking on the busy streets, the women are all in the imperial capital for the first time. They are a little curious and look around at the stalls and shops on the roadside. They are overwhelmed.
The residence certificate they have now is the lowest level bronze residence certificate, which can be used to purchase houses, shops and other industries in the imperial capital. However, without any other Privileges, if you want to buy a higher-end residence and live in a more prestigious area, you need a higher-level residence certificate.
And higher-level residence certificates cannot be obtained even if you have money. They are only issued to people with a certain status in the imperial capital, such as royal nobles, leaders of forces, etc.
It was noon soon, and everyone was hungry. They found a restaurant in the city to fill their stomachs first.
Gu Qianxue still ordered a lot of food in one go as before. Her "Yuanmang Swallowing Star Art" has been cultivated to a certain level. In the past few days, she has experienced the pleasure of increasing her cultivation by eating.
Su Chen was full after a few bites. He put down his chopsticks and said to Xue Yong, "Old Xue, go to the outside of the city to contact people to buy purple condensed grass. The more the better. It would be best if you can buy all the purple condensed grass outside the city."
Xue Yong agreed naively and asked, "Mr. Chen, why do you buy so much purple condensed grass?"
"I have a use for it." Su Chen already had a plan in mind.
If he wanted to quickly gain a foothold in the imperial capital, he had to rely on this Shenxing grass.
After eating and drinking, Xue Yong immediately went out of the city to deal with the purple condensed grass.
Su Chen first found out where Tianyue College was and went to Tianyue College.
The purpose was naturally to help his aunt Xu Yin visit Jiang Tingyi.
After not seeing her daughter for such a long time, my aunt must have missed her very much.
However, when Su Chen arrived at Tianyue College, he had not yet told the guards at the gate that he was here to visit Jiang Tingyi, but he heard the chatter of the students nearby.
"Alas, Jiang Tingyi is so lucky that she was favored by the elders of the Supreme Court and was allowed to practice in the Liusheng Cave in the back mountain."
"Liusheng Cave is a good place, a secret place of Tianyue College. In the past, many brothers and sisters wanted to practice in it, but were not allowed. I didn't expect that Jiang Tingyi, as a new student, was given the qualification to practice in Liusheng Cave as an exception."
"I heard that the elders of the Supreme Court took a fancy to her cultivation aptitude and determined that she has the potential to become a great power in the Wheel-Transfer Realm in the future. This is something we can't even envy."
"It is said that Jiang Tingyi is just from a small place. How can she have such a heaven-defying cultivation aptitude? It's really strange."
