Cultivation Online novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 - Spirit City

After half an hour of running, Yuan and Xiao Hua could finally see the city walls.

«You have discovered ’Spirit City’»

"This place seems to be called Spirit City," said Yuan after reading the system notification.

"Spirit City is one of the four Great Cities within the Eastern Continent, and it’s ranked third in terms of influence." Xiao Hua quickly explained.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!"

Yuan and Xiao Hua approached the city gate.

"What are they doing?"

As they approached, Yuan noticed the crystal ball in one of the guards’ grasp.

"It’s to inspect the visitors. Unless Brother Yuan is a wanted criminal, you don’t have to worry about it."

Yuan nodded.

A few minutes later, they reached the guards at the gates.

"Entrance fee is 1 silver for each individual," said the guard once they got close enough.

"Uh... Xiao Hua, do you have any money?" Yuan, who was penniless, looked at her with an awkward expression, feeling slightly embarrassed to be asking such a little girl for money.

But alas, Xiao Hua shook her little head.

"What the hell. Do you want to enter this place without money? Where did such beggars come from?" The guards sneered inwardly when they realized that they were dealing with penniless people.

"If you have no money, then I cannot allow you inside," said one of the guards. "Get out of the way already! There are people behind waiting for you!"

Yuan sighed and prepared to leave.

However, before he could even take a step, the person standing behind him spoke, "If you want, I can pay for your entrance fee."

Yuan turned to look at the person who just spoke; it was a pretty young lady wearing a pair of fine robes.

"If you don’t mind..." Yuan spoke with an embarrassed face.

"Young Lady, we shouldn’t bother ourselves with these two beggars..."

The old man standing beside the young lady suddenly mumbled into her ears, unaware that his words were heard by Yuan, who has enhanced senses.

"..."

However, Yuan decided to ignore the old man’s disrespectful remarks.

"As the young lady of the Xuan Family, how could I ignore people in need of help? And it’s just two silvers."

The young lady shook her head at the old man, looking disappointed by his words.

"Excuse me, this will account for their entrance fee, too."

The young lady then handed four pieces of silver coins to the guards.

After a quick glance, the guard nodded and retrieved the crystal ball.

"Place your hands on it," said the guard.

Yuan placed his hands on the globe.

A few seconds later, it glowed a green light.

"You may pass."
