Chapter 907: Entrance Fee
The blue giant ship sped through the air.
In just an hour, they would truly enter the Central Region.
The wonders that only existed in Ancient Times, all the wonders of the Flame Dragon Continent, were there.
For these young prodigies, it was naturally full of yearning and anticipation.
"By the way." Li Fengxing suddenly looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Deacon Xiao Yi, why did it take you so long to catch up?"
"With your speed, you should have caught up immediately after dealing with the mountain bandits."
Li Fengxing said with a smile, "However, as long as you're fine, that's good, haha."
Xiao Yi's expression was calm. He said, "After killing the mountain bandits, I suffered some backlash and only caught up after stabilizing my injuries."
Everyone's expressions became clear at these words.
Xiao Yi's injuries hadn't healed, and he forced himself to fight, facing many foes alone to cover their retreat, which undoubtedly would lead to significant backlash.
"Deacon Xiao Yi, is there still a major problem with your injuries?" Li Fengxing asked with concern.
The Eldest Prince also said, "Before I set out, I took many life-saving elixirs and high-grade Heavenly Treasures from my Wind Saint Royal Family."
"If you need any, Xiao Yi, just say the word."
Cheng Suyan stepped forward and took out a jade bottle, saying, "I have a Ninth-grade Healing Elixir here, which is one of the most precious elixirs of my Huoli Sect."
"In terms of healing efficacy, it's even above the Ice Pure Holy Lotus."
Chu Rou smiled, saying, "Young Master Xiao Yi's injuries may not be ordinary ones."
"Before I left the sect, my Master gave me a life-saving elixir, which has miraculous effects for nourishing the mind and replenishing energy."
Without hesitation, Chu Rou produced the elixir.
Looking at everyone's actions, Xiao Yi chuckled helplessly.
"Did you all forget? I am a high-grade alchemist; who can know my injuries better than myself?"
"My injuries are of no serious concern."
Xiao Yi shook his head, refusing everyone's good intentions.
Everyone nodded, feeling relieved, and once again returned to their previous expressions of anticipation.
Xiao Yi stared into the distance, his face also showing anticipation, but at the same time, a trace of gravity was slightly hidden beneath it.
The incident with the Violent Wolf Mountain Bandit Group didn't weigh on his mind.
In contrast, the matter regarding Beiyin Palace, especially Beiyin Wudi and Uncle Gu, undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for him.
His strength, at this moment, wasn't weak, but it certainly wasn't strong.
Dealing with ordinary forces, he was more than sufficient.
But if he truly reached the Central Region and faced those colossal entities, his current strength would be far from enough.
He wasn't coming to the Central Region just to train.
One day, he would confront some colossal entity.
He still needed more and stronger strength.
After reaching the Central Region, he had to quickly eliminate the Death Silence Seal and break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Xiao Yi thought quietly.
...
An hour passed in an instant.
The blue giant ship had long since flown past the boundary.
The scenery below was no longer the desolate lands of the past; instead, there were gradually martial artists passing by.
Before long, the blue giant ship flew over a Beast Forest.
In the Beast Forest, demon beasts were everywhere, but there were also many martial artists training within it.
This Beast Forest wasn't considered a perilous land.
Everyone released their perceptions and smiled slightly.
The strongest demon beast in the entire Beast Forest was merely a Golden Fire Lion of the Earth Origin Realm.
And the martial artists battling with demon beasts inside were mostly in the Mysterious Profundity, Mystic Breakthrough realms.
The appearance of the blue giant ship immediately drew the attention of all the martial artists in the Beast Forest.
"Wow, look, there's a ship flying in the sky."
"What a big ship."
"That must be a flying Sub-Saint Artifact, extremely precious."
"Is it martial artists from some major force passing through here?"
Exclamations of surprise rose from the Beast Forest.
No matter where, there would be weak and strong; not everyone is born with great cultivation, strength is accumulated step by step by oneself.
In the Central Region, there would also be martial artists at the Mystic Breakthrough, Mysterious Profundity, and even Innate and Postnatal stages.
However, this place has far stronger Heavenly Extreme Realm experts, even Infinite Sacred Realm experts, compared to other regions.
On the blue giant ship, everyone was full of pride and arrogance.
Li Fengxing smiled, "We are already within the range of the Central Region."
"After passing this forest, we will reach Star Exchange City."
Xiao Yi nodded.
Before long, the blue giant ship traversed the Beast Forest.
Ahead lay a massive city wall.
On the city wall, the three large words 'Star Exchange City' shone particularly bright.
"Central Region, we've arrived." Everyone on the ship showed a joyful expression.
The place they had longed for and anticipated for so long was right in front of them.
Xiao Yi's face was also filled with unstoppable joy.
Compared to Li Fengxing and others, his arrival in the Central Region was even harder.
From the beginning, crossing spatial turbulence, surviving by the skin of his teeth, thinking he had reached the Central Region, only to find out he hadn't yet.
Then crossing the Wind Saint Territory, speeding along, fighting continuously on the way.
Finally, crossing a million mountains alone, through ten thousand dangers, again faced with countless perils, battling all the way.
Up until now, he finally arrived in the Central Region.
Of course, Xiao Yi knew well that this was by no means an end; on the contrary, it was perhaps just a very minor starting point.
Ahead lay more uncertainties, waiting for him.
Whether it would be perilous or wondrous depended entirely on his own ability and opportunities.
...
On the blue giant ship, Li Fengxing said, "In Star Exchange City, flying is forbidden, we must land."
Everyone nodded.
The blue giant ship slowly descended from the sky.
Once it reached the ground.
Li Fengxing waved his hand, and the originally massive blue giant ship instantaneously reduced to the size of a hand and was stored into a Universe Ring.
The group headed towards the city gate.
Xiao Yi, slightly puzzled, asked, "Li Fengxing, how did you know our first stop in the Central Region is Star Exchange City?"
Li Fengxing paused, surprised, "What, Deacon Xiao Yi, did you not check the information at the Asura Hall before departing?"
"The Wind Saint Territory and other ordinary regions, though far from the Central Region."
"Each branch hall is connected, and many pieces of information and intel are shared."
"Of course, for some more important intel or data, one must come to the branch halls on this side of the Central Region to check."
"But ordinary intelligence, such as information universally known by those in the Central Region, can be checked directly at the branch halls."
"And Star Exchange City just happens to be the first city we must encounter on the route from the Wind Saint Territory to the Central Region."
"Additionally, Star Exchange City is an extremely famous commercial city; its level of prosperity is renowned throughout the Central Region."
"I see." Xiao Yi nodded.
The group arrived at the city gate.
At the gate, a group of City Guards stopped them.
"Is it necessary to check our identities?" Xiao Yi inquired curiously.
The leading City Guard's face turned stern, "No one is checking your identity."
"To enter the city, you must pay ten million silver taels, or equivalent commercial goods can also be accepted."
