«You have found Phoenix» City

As Yuan and the others approached the city, they immediately saw an outline that stretched at least a mile from the entrance of the city.

“What is the name of heaven? Why is the queue so long?” Yuan stared at the line with wide eyes.

“Just this place is very busy. Phoenix City was one of the most popular areas in the Eastern Continent due to its rich environment and abundant treasures, extremely powerful Cultivators and rich merchants from all over the world came here to do business, he said, ”Xiao Hua explained to him.

“ Anyway, let's get in line first. More than a dozen people had entered the ranks by the time you finished speaking! ” Yuan said as he walked to the back of the line.

After queuing for half an hour, it was finally their turn to enter the city.

“Put your hands on this ball,” said one of the guards as soon as Yuan approached them.

Yuan placed his hand on the crystal ball, and as soon as the guards made sure that he was not a criminal, they said, "The entrance fee for Phoenix City is one gold coin."

"The three of us are together," Yuan said as he handed them 3 pieces of gold coins.

“This is your guest's permission. Due to the enormous population and not wanting to crowd the city, you are only allowed to stay in Phoenix City for three days. If you are caught past your date, you will be fined 100,000 Gold Coins. If you want to stay longer, you must visit the Administration Hall, and you can extend your time at a certain price.”

"I see," Yuan had to agree to such a rule before they were finally allowed to enter.

“Wow, this place is much more popular than I thought if they needed to make such rules out of fear of overpopulation” Yuan said as soon as they were inside.

“The most popular cities that focus on businesses like this,” Xiao Hua said.

“Well, three days is more than enough, because we will leave soon after we get the Fruit of the Spirit. By the way, where do we go now?” Yuan asked him.

However, Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "Xiao Hua has never been here before” she only heard about the Golden Phoenix Bazaar is here."

"Then I guess we should wonder," Yuan said.

After spending a few minutes talking to the pedestrians, Yuan got a good idea of the direction and started walking towards the Golden Phoenix Bazaar with the other two girls.

“This place is really meant for business only. Wherever we go, the streets are filled with nothing but the.” store Yu Rou said as they walked, enjoying the scenery. “Do people even live in this city? Because I haven't seen a single house.”

“Only the richest people will live in a place like Phoenix City, and they are all in the city center. Do you see tall buildings in the distance? They are houses.” Xiao Hua said as he pointed in that direction.

"What?! The pagoda is actually a house?! It was like staying at Cultivators’ Haven, which had 21 floors!” yu Rou.

After walking for a few minutes, they reached this extremely wide road with a beautiful Golden‘ Phoenix ’Bazaar flying in the sky.

“Wow, so this is the Golden Phoenix Bazaar But why does it look so quiet compared to the other streets?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Hua shrugged his shoulders.

“I don't think it matters why there are so few people here. After all, we have to search in every store until we find one that sells Spirit Fruits, right?” said Yuan.

“Un.” They nodded.

However, just as Yuan was preparing to enter the street, they were immediately stopped by the guards standing not too far away.

"Wait a minute. Do you have permission to enter this area? " The guards asked them.

"Izin's? We need permission to enter Golden Phoenix Bazaar?” Yuan asked them with a surprised expression, as this was the first time he had heard this.

"of course. The Golden Phoenix Bazaar is not your usual place where one can enter normally, and only those with a permit are allowed to do business here. ”

“Then where do we get permission from? I want to buy something there.” Yuan asked them.

“This must be your first time here. Even obtaining permission to enter this place was not that simple. First and foremost, you must donate a large sum of money to the city lord before you can even be considered for a permit. ” The guard said to him.

"Money?" Yuan immediately began to sweat. "How much are we talking about?"

“Most people donate at least 10,000,000 gold coins,” the guard said.

“10,000,000 gold coins ?!” Yuan's jaw fell to the ground.

If one had to pay 10,000,000 to use the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, they had better go somewhere else! At least they still had 10,000,000 gold coins to spend doing so!

“What's so special about Golden Phoenix Bazaar? Requiring 10,000,000 coins for a shopping permit somewhere is outrageous if you ask me. Nobody in their right mind would pay so much money for it. Yu Rou shook her head, unable to understand the reason behind this system.

“That's where you're wrong, young lady. While it may be expensive, it is well worth it, as the people you can find in this place are mostly renowned experts with great support or status in this world, he said, and most people come here mainly to make contact with these people” shopping is only secondary.” The guard explained to them the true purpose of the Golden Phoenix Bazaar.

“So it makes more sense” Yu Rou nodded.

“Fruit Spirit? If you are looking for the Spirit Fruit, then you can only find it inside the Golden Phoenix Bazaar,” said one of the guards after hearing Yuan's words.

"How comfortable ..." Yuan sighed again.

"If you really want to enter the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, there are methods that do not require payment or permission." One of the guards suddenly said.

“What are those methods?” Yuan immediately asked.

"It's pretty simple, actually."

The guards exchanged glances before speaking”

"You only need a recommendation from a Spirit Grandmaster Cultivator!"

"If you reach the Spirit Grandmaster realm, you will be allowed to enter the Golden Phoenix Bazaar without any restrictions!"

"Ha ha ha!"

The guards laughed out loud afterward, thinking that it was more realistic to pay 10,000,000 gold coins than to find someone at the Spirit Grandmaster realm.

“Grandmaster Spirit? Why didn't you say that? We got one here. ” Yuan said with a relieved smile on his face.

"What did you just say? That there is a Spirit Grandmaster among you? WHO'S? You guys? Ha ha ha!" The guards did not take Yuan seriously and began to laugh even louder.

“Well, he is not a Spirit” Grandmaster he is a Spirit King,” Yuan said as he pointed at Xiao Hua.

“King of the Spirit?! HAHAHAHA!” The guards laughed out loud after hearing his words so they started rolling around on the floor dying of laughter.

Yuan looked at the guards with a dumbfounded expression on his face. Why are they laughing so hard? What's so funny?

"If ... If this little girl were a Cultivator with a Spirit Grandmaster cultivation base, let alone a Spirit King, I would run the entire round around the Golden Phoenix Bazaar while naked!" One of the guards suddenly said.

“Only Golden Phoenix Bazaar? I would be willing to run around the city naked if he was really the Spirit King! Ha ha ha!"

“”

Yu Rou and Yuan looked at each other with raised eyebrows.

“What did you two laugh about while on duty? I'm in a bad mood lately so I can use some laughter! Please, tell me what's funny!”

A clear yet annoyed feminine voice suddenly resounded, and when the guards heard this woman's voice, they immediately stopped laughing and turned around with a terrified expression on her face, it looked as if they were staring at death.

Yuan and Yu Rou also turned their heads to look at the person who had just spoken, and a very beautiful woman in her late twenties wearing a red robe with a golden phoenix pattern was seen walking towards them.

"M-Mrs Feng!" The guards immediately kowtowed on the ground with their backs drenched in cold sweat. “K-We were wrong for laughing while on duty! Please have mercy!”

However, the woman who was summoned as Madam Feng coldly snorted, “Didn't you hear me? I wonder what's so funny that it makes you laugh like a maniac!”

“Y-Well like this”

The guards proceeded to explain the situation to Madam Feng.

Moments later, Madam Feng shifted her focus from the guards to Yuan and the two girls beside her.

“So you think it's funny to joke about being the King of Spirits, huh?” Madam Feng narrowed her eyes at them and suddenly”

The explosion!

The cultivation base of a Spirit Grandmaster suddenly erupted from Madam Feng's body, filling the area with stifling pressure, causing Yuan and Yu Rou to start choking as if they had trouble breathing.

"Do you still think it's funny to”"

However, before Madam Feng could even finish her sentence, Xiao Hua shouted in a funny but angry voice, "How dare you hurt Brother Yuan!"

The explosion!

A huge pressure that far exceeded Madam Feng's pressure suddenly appeared to undo Madam Feng's pressure, before forcing Madame Feng to kneel.

“I-This?!” Madam Feng raised her head with great difficulty to look at Xiao Hua, her gaze filled with shock and fear.

“King of the Spirit!”
