In the fertile land, every tael of mithril could be exchanged for a large amount of Qi Gathering Pills.
In the deepest part of the array, there were powerful spirit stones embedded in them, causing one to feel rich and powerful, but at the same time, it also felt imposing and inviolable. Just by looking at the array formations cast on the city walls, it was clear that normal people would not be able to cause trouble inside, otherwise, if someone from the array casually shot out a spirit stone, they would be killed on the spot.
Therefore, no one was surprised when Yang Qi came to the vicinity of Silver Moon City wearing the clothing of the Fountain Continent. People only treated him as a merchant.
The roads outside the Silver Moon City were like spider webs that connected in all directions. The roads were wide and flat, and clear spring water flowed on both sides of it. There were even some fountains that bloomed on the plaza.
However, a strong sense of business and complexity was still spreading around the city. Yang Qi sniffed around, and felt that there was still resentment hidden deep in the air. Someone had been assassinated, framed, and caused this.
In this city, it was not peaceful. On the surface, it looked like it was singing and dancing, but in reality, it was filled with surging undercurrents.
However, Yang Qi was an expert with great courage, so he didn't care. He took a step forward and was about to enter the Silver Moon City. Suddenly, not too far away from him, a group of caravans called out, "Brother, please wait a moment."
When Yang Qi turned around, he saw dozens of people standing by the roadside. Beside them were some carriages, all drawn by flood dragon horses. The carriages were filled with heavy boxes, which were obviously valuable items. It was a merchant caravan, and it was using the language of the Fountain of the Continent. Yang Qi even saw a small flag with the word "Sacred" written on it. It was the caravan of the Holy Empire.
The person who called Yang Qi was one of the leaders of the caravan. With his profound cultivation, Yang Qi was able to tell at a glance that he was an expert that had taken the life of nine times.
"What is it?"
Yang Ke approached the caravan.
"You must be from the Fountain Continent." The leader of the merchant caravan replied, "I am the imperial merchant group from the Sacred Royal Clan. Seeing that you've entered Silver Moon City by yourself, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be appropriate."
"What's going on?" Yang Qi frowned.
Recently in Silverymoon City, there have been a large number of incidents involving xenophobia. Some of the local organizations and experts of the West Continent have launched attacks, assassinations, kidnappings, looting of goods, and even the natives of Silverymoon City, which are very unfriendly to us, the people of the fertile continent. I think that if you are alone, you might encounter danger, so I would like to remind you that if you don't mind, you can come with us on the road and if you have any goods, we can sell them to you on your behalf. The leader of the royal family said.
"Thank you everyone."
Yang Qi's heart skipped a beat as he glanced over the people from the royal family caravan. With his current cultivation, if there was a conspiracy, he would have already known.
It was only now that he found out that the Holy Empire exchanged a large amount of demon cores for spirit stones every year. At the same time, there were the guards and officials of the Holy Empire in the caravan as well, and experts were hiding within to help protect the people of the West Continent from the invasion of other lands.
At least this time, Yang Ke felt that the Sacred Ancient Dynasty was still okay.
While Yang Qi and the leader of the merchant caravan were chatting, the group of merchant caravans called back many lonely cultivators from the Fengcong Continent. Those who were willing to be under protection gathered together, and at night, the entire Silver Moon City was lit up by lanterns and the walls emitted a light as bright as day.
Only then did everyone start to head towards Silverymoon City.
After entering the city gates of Silverymoon City, they were intercepted by the guards. They had to pay enough tax to enter the city. The group of guards coldly looked at the caravan and suddenly said, "The entry tax will be based on the number of people. Each person will get one mid-grade spirit stone and two horses. Regardless of the size of the boxes, three mid-grade spirit stones."
"What?"
The leader of the imperial merchant group was almost unable to speak and he was greatly shocked. His gaze became fierce as he said, "Yesterday, the head tax was only a low rank spirit stone. Why did it become a middle rank spirit stone now? This increases the price by ten times. Also, look, why did the people who enter the city from that city gate only have to pay one low-grade spirit stone? "
"Just now, the order was issued that anyone who wishes to enter the Silver Moon City must pay a high tax. There is no discussion." The guard from Silver Moon City spoke in the language of the Western Continent, and regardless of whether anyone understood his words, he used a gaze that measured a fat sheep, looking at everyone, as if wanting to ruthlessly cut them down, "Are you guys paying? If you don't pay, you will be sent flying. In the future, you are not allowed to enter Silver Moon City again, do you understand? "
Yang Qi could not understand the language of the Western Continent, but there was a spiritual fluctuation within the language. With every word that was spoken, the meaning of the spiritual fluctuation was clearly reflected in his mind.
As long as one had reached the Life Seizing Stage, they would be able to roughly distinguish the spiritual force undulations, so there weren't any obstacles in speaking the words of others.
"Forget it, this matter can only be endured. It is very likely that the princess of Silverymoon City is extremely dissatisfied with the cultivators of the Fountain Continent. She is a radical figure in the Sky Empire and is shouting about attacking the Fountain Continent and occupying the entire region." The leader of the caravan shook his head. He had no choice but to calm the matter down and have everyone take out their spirit stones, placing them in the hands of the guards.
All of the spirit stones followed the ancient rules. Only the size of a walnut could be considered as money, and if someone absorbed the spirit energy from the spirit stones, the entire spirit stone would become smaller and smaller, and wouldn't become money.
"Hmm, at least you guys are sensible. You didn't compete with us. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing you guys and hanging your heads on the city wall as an example to others." The leader of the guards licked his lips, a bloodthirsty smell emitting from him as he waved his hands, allowing them to pass.
Yang Ke and the rest of the imperial merchant group entered Silver Moon City. The group of imperial bodyguards watched them as they left, their faces sneering again and again. "These fat sheep, do you want to notify people to kill them tonight?"
"No need, this is the Fountain Continent, the Saint Ancestor's caravan still has some power, and there might be Legend rank experts hidden within. Right now, our Sky Empire and the Saint Ancestor's dynasty have yet to completely fall out and are unable to attack the continent, but when the time comes, we can ruthlessly subdue them and make them lose everything!"
The captain said fiercely.
These conversations and spiritual fluctuations were naturally transmitted to Yang Qi's ears.
The whole caravan was discussing, "Damn it, to think that we could get so much tax all of a sudden. How disgusting!" "Looks like we won't be doing business in the future."
"Yes, our Fountain Continent has just gotten better. Rumor has it that yesterday, someone completely fixed up Tian Que, and there was no more danger of the devil invading. From then on, our Fountain Continent was almost smooth sailing, and our vitality was very dense, and it is very likely that the Western Continent found out about this news, so they began to restrict the Fountain Continent."
"I wonder who repaired Tian Que?"
"Rumor has it that this person is a student from the Sky Realm, called Yang Qi."
"How can this person be so capable?" Even the leaders of the Four Great Academies would not be able to truly fix it. "
"I heard that there is someone behind him that surpasses the Great Sage."
The people within the merchant group were extremely excited when they discussed this matter.
"Alright, stop talking. The situation has changed. Once we finish this business trip, we will immediately leave Silver Moon City and reunite with the other caravans. At the same time, we will be reporting this matter to Prince Wei." The caravan leader waved his hand.
"Prince Wei is the person in charge of this merchant caravan?" Yang Qi's heart skipped a beat. He had a good impression of the Holy Empire's Prince Wei. This person had helped him block the crown prince's attack during the martial arts competition. If not, he would definitely be ruthlessly humiliated by the crown prince.
As they spoke, this caravan walked through the wide streets of Silverymoon and saw the vicious gazes of many natives of the West Continent.
In the Western Continent's philosophy, the fertile continent is just a group of barbarians. Using worthless demon cores to exchange for their precious spirit stones, every single person on the fertile continent is an unscrupulous merchant. They deserve to die, so torturing them isn't too much of a waste.
This idea was deeply embedded in the hearts of every single person on the Western Continent.
"This bunch of people from the Western Continent, everyone has a ruthless aura about them." Yang Qi ignored the gazes of these people and said lightly.
"Yes, they have the blood of the demons on them, only a very thin human bloodline. These people are actually demons, and belong to the beast race." The leader of the Chamber of Commerce was also very dissatisfied with the people of the West Continent.
"Leader, we've arrived at the Silver Moon City's municipal trading hall."
Someone suddenly said.
Sure enough, a huge building appeared in front of them. All of them were wrapped in silver, and the dense formation on top of them made people feel a sense of dread.
This building had a radius of several dozen kilometers and was divided into many palaces, all of which were used for trade.
