PDLP Chapter 242 Entering the City
Chapter 242 Entering the City
After careful selection, Butuo stated that he would buy all pills of grade five or higher at high prices.
Pills below the fifth grade are of little use to them; in fact, their effects are rather weak. In this world, although there are no pills, there are unique medicines that are sufficient for ordinary use.
Cheng Jiu did some mental calculations and realized that a fifth-grade pill in her world was equivalent to a first-grade pill in this world. It seemed that the status of this world was higher than that of her world.
Cheng Jiu thought to himself, "None of the trial grounds chosen by the trial participants are easy."
He spent ten Rank 9 pills, one hundred Rank 8 pills, one thousand Rank 7 pills, and several Rank 5 and Rank 6 pills, mainly for treatment and detoxification, in exchange for a supposedly very precious Rank 8 enchanted gem, a rare piece of cloth, and a bottle of life water that the other party had found in a mysterious small tribe.
It is said that drinking it can prolong life and preserve one's youthful appearance, making it very popular among the women in the imperial harem.
Of course, this bottle of water of life is the most expensive.
In addition to these, the other party also paid her an extra 200,000 khassikin, which can be said to be a very fair price.
Cheng Jiu carefully placed and packed the three treasures in a white jade box, as these were the key to gaining access to the Queen's harem.
The sandstorm raged for a full two weeks before the weather gradually cleared up outside.
Unlike Cheng Jiu, who practiced fasting, Butuo and others ate every day, and in large quantities.
The other party was staying at Cheng Jiu's place and had agreed to help Cheng Jiu. In gratitude, Cheng Jiu took the initiative to cover the meals for the group, as the monster meat from the beast tide that he had bought earlier was still not fully digested.
Foods rich in energy like this were very popular with Bhutto and his group, who even wanted to buy them at a high price. Cheng Jiu sold them some and received another 100,000 Sikkims.
The relationship between the two parties quickly became harmonious, and to express his gratitude, Bru even took the initiative to teach Tutorial Nine cultivation.
Although this world does not practice immortality cultivation, it cultivates a system called brute force.
They absorb the energy of heaven and earth called brute force to temper themselves, and are divided into nine ranks according to their strength.
Reaching the ninth level of strength means transcending heaven and earth, possessing unpredictable abilities to alter the course of the world.
With only one level of brute force, he possessed the strength of a thousand pounds, capable of easily shattering mountains and jade.
Although immortality is not practiced here, it does not mean that the people here are weaker. On the contrary, they value strength above all else.
The person who dared to provoke the little princess back then was a ninth-level expert who made a ruthless move.
Later, when the other party's elders tried to cause trouble, they were all wiped out by ninth-level experts, not even given a chance to stir up trouble.
This clearly demonstrates the formidable strength of a ninth-tier expert.
Cheng Jiu mentally compared this ninth-tier expert to an immortal.
Seemingly realizing that this wasn't enough to make Cheng Jiu despair, Bru added, "Her Majesty the current Empress was a child prodigy and studied under the Dean of the Okavis Academy."
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the other party is also a ninth-level expert.
After hearing this, Cheng Jiu's heart almost stopped trembling. She suddenly understood why so many people had failed over the years. With this person around, who could cause trouble right under her nose?
I'm suddenly glad I chose the first mission. If it had been the second mission, I might as well have just died!
Bru's cultivation level wasn't high; he was only a fifth-tier expert, but he was more than capable of mastering the basics of Tutorial Nine.
The strongest member of the group was his father, a sixth-tier expert, who was undoubtedly the leader.
Cheng Jiu was going to the capital of the Snakelo Dynasty, and the group happened to be going the same way, so they were willing to give this trial participant a ride.
Cheng Jiu was extremely grateful that she had agreed to let them in; it had really been a great help. Otherwise, she probably would have been stopped at the city gate based on her own words alone.
Cheng Jiu also practiced brute force. Although it was only for a short week, his cultivation speed was like a rocket breaking through the first level and reaching the seventh stage of the first level.
Bhutto and others suggested that Cheng Jiu be an outsider in order to avoid being discovered by the soldiers responsible for guarding the city.
Cheng Jiu would be better off concealing his cultivation level, so they can easily sneak him into the city.
In the cultivation world, there are many pills that can conceal one's cultivation level. After consuming these pills, one's cultivation level is completely hidden, and one's outward appearance will only show a first-order, seventh-stage brute force cultivation level.
After packing up the hut, Cheng Jiu was invited by the group to climb onto the back of the furry beast. The beast's broad and tall back was quite spacious.
Despite their large size, the furry beast moves quite fast across the desert.
Just as there are demonic beasts in Cheng Jiu's world, there are also things called savage beasts in this world. Compared to them, not only are they incredibly powerful, but they are also incredibly fast.
Even with only fourth or fifth-tier savage beasts, Cheng Jiu, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was struggling to cope.
There are no cross-realm powerhouses in this world, because under the unique system of brute force, the difference between each level is like heaven and earth.
For example, the strongest sixth-tier expert in the team, Buto, Cheng Jiu watched as he threw a punch, creating a sonic boom, and even directly shattered the inside of a sixth-tier savage beast.
Not only were the sixth-tier savage beasts killed, but the aftershocks of the battle also destroyed the nearby mountains, causing them to fall into a shower of rocks.
Furthermore, this world is inexplicably stable. A power like Buto's could tear through space and create spatial rifts in Cheng Jiu's world.
But here, it just creates an ordinary sonic boom! The contrast is too stark, and Cheng Jiu becomes even more serious about the brute force system that he can cultivate.
Battle is the best way to promote friendship between the two sides, especially since Cheng Jiu can be considered a very powerful ally.
After a battle, Cheng Jiu received a much warmer welcome from the team. If their previous impression of Cheng Jiu was simply based on his good looks, then they were now much more welcoming.
Now, this friendliness is mixed with more respect for Cheng Jiu's strength, and there is an implicit willingness to acknowledge Cheng Jiu as an unofficial teammate.
Upon arriving at the kingdom's border, the group did not rush on their way but instead chose to stop and rest in a town.
As Bhutto said, this desert was a necessary passage to various small kingdoms, and they encountered many fellow travelers along the way.
"Halt! Show me your pass!"
As expected, she was stopped by the city guards, and Bhutto handed a gold medal to one of them.
"May the Queen protect you, Baron Bhutto!"
Upon receiving the medal, the soldiers guarding the city gave a very standard salute.
“These are my team members, all of whom have been registered in the capital!” Bhutto handed the mercenary handbook to the soldiers guarding the city.
"Baron Buto, please forgive me, but we need to carefully check everyone who enters the kingdom. May I ask who this young lady is?"
Cheng Jiu did not hide; instead, he sat openly in front of the furry beast. After all, the fact that Butoblu father and son claimed to be hiding would only make things worse.
Of course, Cheng Jiu's appearance and temperament are also incredibly attractive, making him a rare human in the Snakelo Kingdom.
Due to historical reasons, the Kingdom of Snakelo was quite cautious about the origins of the humans who entered the kingdom.
