Chapter 846: Colored Dragon Stone

The person who walked over was none other than the Chief Executor of the Huatian Palace branch, Lu Chuan. Once Mo Wen arrived, he had been informed immediately and had rushed over.
“Big Brother Lu, I haven’t seen you in a while. How have you been? Are you looking for me?” Mo Wen asked curiously.
A Chief Executor of the Huatian Palace branch like Lu Chuan usually had to attend to a myriad of affairs every day. Moreover, now that the Martial Arts Circle Convention was being held, he was even busier. If he had no business with Mo Wen, he would not have had the free time to come looking for him.
“Someone instructed me to pass you something.”
Lu Chuan did not beat around the bush, passing a small wooden box to Mo Wen. The box was wrapped in embroidered silk and appeared very exquisite.
“What’s this?” Mo Wen curiously opened the wooden box. There was a rainbow-colored stone inside that was bright and beautiful.
Mo Wen immediately noticed that this item was extraordinary, but he could not tell why it was so. On the surface, aside from glowing, it did not have any other special traits.
“This is a Colored Dragon Stone. As for what its function is, you will know once you get to Dragon City.” Lu Chuan looked at the Colored Dragon Stone with a complicated expression. This was a legendary item, and it was the first time he had ever seen one.
“The person who gave you this Colored Dragon Stone said that it is to repay your kindness for lending the Soul Nurturing Jade to them previously. You can use this in Dragon City,” Lu Chuan said.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen immediately understood. This Colored Dragon Stone was given to him by Mo Qingge. Although he did not know what function the Colored Dragon Stone served, any item given by Mo Qingge would certainly be extraordinary.
“Then, many thanks.” Mo Wen nodded his head and stored the Colored Dragon Stone safely away.
“Big Brother Lu, I just remembered that I have something else that I need your help with,” Mo Wen said with a smile as he suddenly recalled something.
“Brother Mo, you are too polite. You don’t need to be so polite with me. If you need anything, just ask. If I can do it, I will certainly not refuse,” Lu Chuan said heartily.
Other people would not even have a chance to befriend a person like Mo Wen. When Mo Wen asked him for help, Lu Chuan felt honored. Moreover, Mo Wen was not only a Huatian Palace Eight stars Executor, but he also was so young and had endless future potential. What was even more frightening was that he actually had connections with a person who was able to give him a Colored Dragon Stone.
“I have a few Dragon City Talismans here with me that I have no use for. I need your help to send them to a few friends of mine on my behalf.”
He had been in possession of ten Dragon City Talismans. He had given Su Wan’er and Wang Qian two and he and Ling Feng each had one, leaving six more. If he entered Dragon City, these six Dragon City Talismans would be wasted. He might as well give them to a few friends. Maybe they would be interested in participating in the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
“How can I consider this as a request for my assistance? It’s too trivial a matter to be considered help. Brother Mo, just give the word and I will immediately send people to carry it out.”
Lu Chuan was very candid about it. He called over a reliable person and made a note of the people that Mo Wen wanted to give the Dragon City Talismans to. Then, he passed it to his subordinate to carry out.
With Lu Chuan leading the way, they passed through the process required to enter Dragon City smoothly, skipping many rounds of inspection. After passing through the rock formation at the center of the square, Mo Wen and Ling Feng both slowly disappeared.
They were surrounded by darkness and felt extremely dizzy. Despite his cultivation, Mo Wen also felt some discomfort. This spatial transfer was especially long. Even Mo Wen could not accurately grasp how much time had passed. Clearly, the distance they were being teleported was very far.
However, after a long while, their surroundings slowly became visible. A wonderful aura greeted them and surged into their nostrils. A soothing and refreshing sensation spread across their entire bodies.
The sensation was as though they had changed environments, emerging from the muddy swamp and entering an oxygen bar. They felt completely different.
“Such pure spiritual energy.”
A look of astonishment flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. The spiritual energy here was too pure and seemed to have been specially purified. Rich and pure spiritual energy filled the air. It was almost as though one did not need to breathe and spiritual energy would enter one’s body on its own.
In this world, the place where Mo Wen had previously encountered the richest spiritual energy was the space where the Huatian Palace headquarters was located. The spiritual energy there was enough to sustain the practice of a large number of immortal cultivators. However, even the headquarters of the Huatian Palace did not have spiritual energy as rich and pure as this place.
“This is absolutely a paradise for immortal cultivators.” A look of astonishment flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. The Dragon City Mystery Dimension was truly rather extraordinary. No wonder the ancient martial art practitioners were practically throwing themselves headfirst trying to get in. Cultivating one day here was equivalent to a year outside. That was not due to how much their Inner Qi would increase, but rather because of the fact that the world’s spiritual energy would cleanse and transform the bodies of the ancient martial art practitioners.
Some ancient martial art practitioners who were on the verge of breaking through to the next realm but had not managed to do so for a long time could probably break through unknowingly after cultivating for a month here.
Although Ling Feng did not cultivate immortality, he had the ability to sense spiritual energy. He also discovered that this Dragon City Mystery Dimension was a powerful and complex place.
“The elevation of this place is very high. It is as though we are standing above the sky.”
Ling Feng took a few steps forward and discovered that there was a cliff ahead. Beneath the cliff was endless cloud. The place where they stood seemed to be above the sky.
Mo Wen also discovered that they were rather high up. It was a vast sky. The clouds churned and he could not where they finished.
How high up was this place exactly? He felt that he could touch the sky if he just reached out his hand.
“Welcome to Dragon City. This may not be the first time here for some of you, but I will still need to explain the rules of Dragon City in detail.”
A voice sounded not far behind them.
There were quite a few other people in the area that Mo Wen and Ling Feng were standing in. People from all walks of life suddenly appeared beside him. This place was most likely the transfer point.
Nearby, there was a temporary service base. Quite a few Huatian Palace Executors were busy guiding the guests who had come from a variety of places.
When Mo Wen and Ling Feng walked over, they discovered that there was a long line in front of them. The ancient martial art practitioners were lining up to collect a wooden token and a Dragon City guidebook from the Huatian Palace Executors. Once they received the items, their Dragon City Talismans would be taken away.
Although a Dragon City Talisman was hard to get in the martial art circle, the world was very large. Ancient martial art practitioners from all over the world gathered here, so the number of people that came to Dragon City was high.
Each time the Martial Arts Circle Convention was held, it wasn’t just the main space ancient martial art practitioners that would try to get into Dragon City. People from the various large Inner worlds and even those from overseas would find ways to enter Dragon City.
Before this, Mo Wen had not understood why, but he did now. Dragon City was practically a land of treasures.
No matter how strictly the Dragon City Talismans were managed, Dragon City never had to worry about no one coming, and every time it opened, it would always be filled to the brim with people.
While lining up, they also noticed many foreigners. There were even some black people among them. Mo Wen did not know how they managed to get their hands on Dragon City Talismans, but if they were able to obtain them, they were clearly not ordinary people.
Mo Wen and Ling Feng queued for around half an hour before they received a wooden token the size of a baby’s palm and a Dragon City guidebook. The wooden token was a Dragon City identity insignia, playing a role similar to ID cards in the outside world. They needed to use the identity insignia when moving in and out of Dragon City as well as for other matters in the future.
The Dragon City guidebook introduced Dragon City and even included a map.
“Hello, I am Tang Zhizhi, a registered and authorized professional Dragon City guide. May I ask if you need to hire a guide?”
Just as Mo Wen was looking at the map, a crisp voice sounded beside him. He turned to look and noticed a young maiden dressed in simple clothing with a tag on her chest that showed that she was a Dragon City guide.
This maiden was young, aged in her early twenties, but her cultivation had already reached the Sea of Qi Realm. Mo Wen also noticed a Vermilion Bird ring with three stars on her figure. She obviously was also a Huatian Palace Three stars Executor.
A Huatian Palace Three stars Executor could enter the Huatian Palace headquarters. She was not a low-ranking practitioner, yet she had actually come over to act as a guide. Normally, such an incident would clearly be out of the ordinary, but in Dragon City, it was very common.
In reality, all the people who could come to Dragon City, even the Huatian Palace staff, did not have a low status. Ordinary people would most likely not be qualified to become guides in Dragon City.
Mo Wen noticed that there were many guides like Tang Zhizhi around. All of them were Huatian Palace Executors with three stars and above. There were even Four stars Executors among them.
“How much will it cost per day to hire you?” Mo Wen asked as he closed the Dragon City guidebook he was holding and looked at Tang Zhizhi. It was indeed more convenient to hire a guide than to figure out a map by himself. However, this Dragon City guide would certainly not come cheap.
None of the people who came to Dragon City were average, but at a glance, he noticed that few of them could afford a guide.
“Dear guest, we don’t accept money in Dragon City. All transactions are carried out using spiritual stones or Dragon Coins. Of course, we can also barter for items.”
In Dragon City, the coins and cash of the normal world could not be used. No matter how much one had, no one would bat an eyelid at it. After all, the people who could come here did not lack money at all.
“Dragon Coins?” Mo Wen blinked. He knew of spiritual stones but what were Dragon Coins?
“Dragon Coins are a currency circulated in Dragon City. You can exchange an equivalent amount of currency or carry out missions in exchange for Dragon Coins. If you do not have Dragon Coins, you can head to Dragon City’s trading company and exchange some items of value for them,” Tang Zhizhi explained.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen nodded. Dragon Coins were no different from the currency in the outside world. They were just not on the same level. Dragon Coins replaced the role of currency here; cash was just a pile of scrap paper in Dragon Coty. As for spiritual stones, they could be used as currency no matter where one was.
“How many spiritual stones does it take to hire you for a day?” Mo Wen did not have any Dragon Coins on him, but he did not lack spiritual stones. Among the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension’s treasures, he had swept away tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
“One spiritual stone a day. That is the standard price here in Dragon City. I am very trustworthy. Of course, if you hire me for an extended period of time, I can also provide corresponding offers,” Tang Zhizhi said as she raised one long slender finger.
Mo Wen and Ling Feng shared a glance, a thought surfacing in their minds at the same time. This price was too high. It was almost ridiculously high. One spiritual stone a day for a guide! If this was the outside world, this price would be unimaginable.
