Gate of Immortality

Chapter 22: Expensive City Life

" What the hell is happening?" Yang Shi was utterly frustrated. He had been walking in the fog for two hours, but he couldn't find his way out.

" Wait, something is strange." Yang Shi felt he has been circling around the same place. Yang Shi thought for some time and a plan came to his mind. He closed his eyes and focused his surrounding. He felt the flow of Spiritual Qi around him, and moved according to the fluctuations.

*SSSHS*

With the sound of rustling grass, Yang Shi became alert and silently cast ( Radiant Guard)

Suddenly with a flash of green, something slammed into the barrier of Yang Shi. The formless barrier trembled violently, but it didn't break. Yang Shi saw and cold sweat appeared on his head. Its actually a tail. The tail almost smashed the barrier.

" Finally, a human appeared." With a hissing sound, someone said coarsely.

Yang Shi got alarmed and quickly jumped. Within a second he jumped, a giant python tail smashed the ground. Cracks like spiderweb on the ground.

Yang Shi was horrified to see such power. A giant python with ten feet, appeared in front of Yang Shi.

Its skin was a mixture of yellow and white.

" Puny human, Die!" The python hissed and spat its poison. Yang Shi hurriedly avoided it but the snake tail slammed on Yang Shi's chest. Yang Shi blew backward and coughed a mouthful of blood.

Where the poison fell, the grasses withered and the ground charred.

Yang Shi's eye went wide to see the aftereffect of the poison. " Thankfully, I decided to dodge it."

Clearly, since the snake was able to speak, It is a Demonic beast. Demonic beast's power is the same as the human Primordial Spirit Awakening realm. But something is different about the snake. Yang Shi has already met the Black Cloud Panther, who was a demonic beast. His aura is very intimidating but the python's aura is very unstable. Yang Shi guessed that the snake has recently become a Demonic Beast.

" Since that the case, I might still have a chance." Yang Shi rolled to the side and said to the snake, " Ahaha, puny snake. My dragon is larger than you, Aahahaha."

" Puny Human, DIE!!"

The snake infuriated to hear such insult. It hissed and charged at Yang Shi. This time, Yang Shi didn't retreat. He rolled forward and reached under the snake. Then he pulled out his saber and slashed seven inches below the snake's head

*ARRGH*

The python hissed painfully as it crashed down. At the last moment, it spewed a purple smoke. Yang Shi retreated, but still, the smoke reached his arm. Yang Shi felt like his arm is on fire. The smoke is corroding his skin. Yang Shi hurried dug a handful of soil and smeared on his arm. He massaged until it pulled out the poison.

" Damned snake. Even in the last moment, it attacked." Yang Shi went and slashed the snake's neck. Then he pulled out a spherical object from its head. The most precious thing of a demonic beast is neither its skin nor blood, It is beast core. The beast core has the all energy and lifeforce of a beast. The beast core is used to concoct pills, strengthening formations, and making powerful talismans.

Yang Shi wished he had a cultivation technique, Where he could devour all things to increase his cultivation. Sadly, he got none in memory of Samsara Emperor.

"It is a demonic beast, It should fetch some good price." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

After a while, he finally found his way out of the fog. Suddenly, he felt that Spiritual Qi surrounding him is increasing. It is at least five times greater than the Deep Sky forest. He saw, a majestic looking city ahead.

" Finally, Misty Tower city of Azure Feather Kingdom." Yang Shi became elated.

Hw saw a carriage is heading toward the city, so he ran and asked him for lift.

" What? Fifty gold coins! Hey, the city is just ahead. You think I can't walk on my foot?" Although Yang had dozen of thousand gold coins, still the price carriage driver is asking a bit much. Alas, Yang Shi is tired and he also has to carry the python's body. So he agreed.

Following the forest trail down the hill for a few hours, they finally saw a large city.

This city was far bigger than the Blue Sparrow Kingdom's royal capital where the Long Clan Manor was situated. Looking at the city from afar, the city hazy blue colored walls were about fifty meters high with a towering entrance and there was a moat of gray water before the city walls.

With the huge city up ahead, Yang Shi was delighted and asked the carriage driver to quicken his pace. As he got nearer to the gates, he saw written above the gates: Misty Tower City.

" Misty Tower City!" Yang Shi was dazed for a moment when he saw the words this was the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom's City!

" Shall we enter into the city now?" The carriage driver asked.

"Let's go into the city!" He replied to the driver with excitement. Just like when he was back on Earth, he felt happy about arriving at a great city.

But before they could go in, a guard at the gate pulled the two of them to one side, looked them up and down before he asked: "Admission fees, twenty gold coins per person!"

The carriage driver showed a pass. The guard nodded and asked Yang Shi," Hey, give twenty gold coins."

Twenty gold coins are enough for a common household one year's expenses!

" Is it necessary?" Yang Shi asked. Clearly, he didn't wanna spend money.

" Are you new to here?" The guard asked, raising his brow.

At this time, a young man riding a white horned horse, Which is a ferocious beast, swaggered into the city. The guards at the gate didn't block him but instead bowed deeply as he passed by.

Yang Shi's expression turned cold, and pointed at the young man who had just passed by: "Why don't they have to pay admission fees?"

The Guard Captain sneered, "Them? They are members of the Lin clan's Young Master Lin, he is nobles. Do you know what nobles are? Of course, he needn't pay admission fees when entering and exiting through city gates! How can you lowly outsider common folks be equivalent to Young Master Lin!"

" Boy, just pay them." The carriage driver told Yang Shi, he didn't want a scene here.

" Alright." Yang Shi unwillingly gave twenty gold coins and thought, " Just wait, I will become a top dog and whip your asses."

As the carriage entered, Yang Shi asked the driver

" Uncle, Why you didn't give them money?"

The carriage driver smiled and said " I have an authorization pass, given by my master. So I am free."

" Can I also got one?" Yang Shi asked eagerly.

" No." The driver said. " Now, Get off."

" Ye ye." Yang Shi said as he gave fifty gold coins to the driver.

" Now, the time has finally come. I will become a peerless genius. AHAHAHA. But first, let's go to....a bookstore."

" WHAT?!! the book {Basic Introduction of the Cultivation World} costs a thousand gold coin!!!"

Yang Shi almost spurted blood.
