Spiritual Crane Immortal City was surrounded by a No-fly Array, with only one entrance.
Cultivators arriving by air continuously landed on the ground and headed towards the city gate.
Besides the cultivators who had passed the Immortal Sect Disciples’ inspection and were entering the city gate in a steady stream, a large number of caravans and cultivators had also gathered there. These were clearly rchant caravans from various dynasties.
After Lin Xuankong and his group landed, they rged with the crowd heading towards the city gate. Li Xiaohu quickly went ahead to gather information.
A mont later, Little Hu returned. He said with so reluctance, "Foster Father, the caravans from various dynasties are all being stopped outside the city gate. It’s said that for the past three months, due to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s disciple recruitnt ceremony, unauthorized people aren’t allowed into the city. To enter Spiritual Crane Immortal City, one must pay enough Profound Truth Jade, and the fees are nearly ten tis higher than usual!"
Elder Steward Hu Shuo was sowhat surprised. "To enter Spiritual Crane Immortal City, one must pay Profound Truth Jade? Even a Low-grade Profound Truth Jade is worth several pieces of Exorcism Equipnt. Two or three pieces of Low-grade Profound Truth Jade could be exchanged for a full set of Battle Armor! This Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect really knows how to make money!"
Yang Mountain frowned and said, "The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect might not just be trying to make money. It’s probably because this disciple recruitnt ceremony has attracted too many cultivators, and they need to maintain order! After all, as cultivators, who wouldn’t want to join an Immortal Sect, especially one as renowned in the Central Divine Dynasty as the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. "According to Lan, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, among the many Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty, may not be the absolute top, but it still ranks among the top twenty. After all, to exclusively possess thirty-two peaks with Profound Truth Jade Ore Veins, build an Immortal City, and protect billions of ordinary people and cultivators... achieving all this without formidable military strength is impossible! Lan also said that the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect publicly announced they have thirty-two Earth Immortals. However, they actually hide much of their true strength, including several Supre Elders with unfathomable power."
At this point, he looked at Little Hu. "How much is the entrance fee?"
Li Xiaohu replied, "I just asked an Immortal Sect Disciple. One Low-grade Profound Truth Jade can bring in only three cultivators, and the sect will issue a Passing Jade Token valid for one year."
Han Loo’s brow furrowed deeply upon hearing this. "One Low-grade Profound Truth Jade allows only three cultivators to enter for a year? There are at least thirty thousand cultivators gathered in Spiritual Crane Immortal City right now! Doesn’t this an that the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect will collect tens of thousands of pieces of Profound Truth Jade from this alone? This... this is too profitable! Chief, when will you establish an Immortal City and charge entrance fees too? I’ll volunteer to guard the gate for you!"
Li Er, Yang Mountain, Liy Ruofeng, and Liy Ruoqing all shook their heads, clearly envious of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s knack for making money. For cultivators like them from small, remote dynasties, it was rare to even see a single piece of Profound Truth Jade.
If it weren’t for their acquaintance with Lin Xuankong, they might never have had the chance in their entire lives to see whether Profound Truth Jade was round or flat.
They knew Lin Xuankong was now wealthy, often selling Heavy Water Spiritual Objects worth thousands of pieces of Profound Truth Jade. However, that wealth was earned through tangible sales of treasures, unlike the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, which rely had to open its gates to receive an endless stream of Profound Truth Jade.
This is the advantage of a sect possessing Immortals! Hu Shuo exclaid, his face full of envy.
And thirty-two Immortals at that! No wonder it’s different from other sects. Ah, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! Li Er shook his head.
When Foster Father becos an Immortal, acquiring so Profound Truth Jade will be a simple matter! What’s there to be envious about? Li Xiaohu said, forcing a smile.
Hearing this, a look of anticipation also flickered in Lin Xuankong’s eyes.
Although he possessed the vast Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone, its nurturing period had been short. The resources within the Ba Mountain Secret Realm were still under developnt. In places like the Great Xia Dynasty or the Rakshasa Kingdom, he was undeniably a wealthy cultivator, rich enough to rival nations. However, compared to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, an established power in the Central Divine Dynasty, there was still a considerable gap.
At the very least, within his Ba Mountain Secret Realm and several other Secret Realms, the nurturing ti had been too brief. Forget about Profound Truth Jade Ore Veins; even the production of Spiritual Objects was limited to Heavy Water Spiritual Objects...
Of course, thanks to continuous efforts over the past few years, the quantity of dicinal herbs produced had increased significantly. Now, the Ba Mountain Secret Realm boasted tens of thousands of valleys producing dicinal herbs—more than ten tis the combined dicinal herb production areas of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom combined!
Lin Xuankong had been relentlessly promoting Profound Iron Machinery within his Ba Mountain Secret Realm. Consequently, its productivity was far greater than that of other dynasties and even Immortal Sects. After all, not even among Immortal Sects would an Immortal willingly spend ti and energy refining Profound Iron Equipnt for their subordinates and the common people to use.
Especially with the Plant Spirit Bottle gifted by Galin Bodhisattva, it was foreseeable that the production of rare Spirit Herbs and Elixir in Lin Xuankong’s Ba Mountain Secret Realm would increase by hundreds of tis in the future.
At this mont, Lin Xuankong gazed expectantly at the towering Immortal City before him. He took out three pieces of Profound Truth Jade from his robes and handed them to Little Hu.
A confident expression appeared on his face. "There’s no need to stand here envying the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Once I beco an Immortal and figure out the thod to advance to the Immortal Tier, Little Hu, you and everyone else will soon beco Immortals too!"
