Free Web NovelChapter 2012: Chapter 2012: Red Garment Tower! 380 Jin of Source Stone! Too Much Trouble!
"Alright!"
After Mu Jinyu heard Ming’s words, he agreed in one breath, then didn’t stop, continuing to use Void Shift as he hurriedly flew forward.
Very soon, after a dozen minutes.
Mu Jinyu had already left Donghua Province and arrived in a state domain adjacent to Donghua Province.
The greatest power in this state domain was much weaker than Dongyue Mansion, but among the Human Race, its reputation still couldn’t be underestimated. It was called Red Garment Tower.
According to Mu Jinyu’s impression, this Red Garment Tower should also have long-distance Teleportation Arrays.
Because his impression of them was that their business mainly consisted of providing ultra long-range teleportation array services to various people and the Foreign Race.
One teleportation to another state domain cost a certain amount of Source Stone.
Otherwise, Mu Jinyu wouldn’t have specifically come here.
He couldn’t just, for the sake of using a long-distance Teleportation Array, randomly bash his way onto someone else’s turf and then force them to activate this ultra long-range teleportation array to send him to the West Coast, right?
If he did that, what difference would there be between him and what the two Royal clan of the Yaao and Ji Clans had done?
Arriving in this state domain, Mu Jinyu wasn’t too sure of the exact location of Red Garment Tower. On the way he asked around a few times, and after finally spending five minutes, he at last found Red Garment Tower.
"This Red Garment Tower is pretty big!"
Mu Jinyu flew over from afar, and when he saw a skyscraper at the edge of his vision that seemed to pierce through the heavens, he couldn’t help but softly exclaim in praise.
Red Garment Tower also had a Minor World similar to that of Dongyue Mansion.
However, their main business was ultra long-range teleportation arrays. They naturally wouldn’t hide all of their power inside the Minor World. If they did that, how would they do business?
It would even be troublesome for others who wanted to visit!
If the Foreign Race wanted to ride the array but couldn’t find the address, got upset and caused trouble, that would also be very troublesome.
So, Red Garment Tower left such a highly distinctive building in every state domain of the Eastern Region, allowing people to recognize it as their Red Garment Tower at a glance.
It was the same logic as Dongyue Mansion’s Examination Mansion, which basically had a branch in every state domain of the Eastern Region.
Even if there were other very powerful forces locally, they usually wouldn’t casually destroy someone else’s property.
After all, neither the Examination Mansion of Dongyue Mansion nor the Red Building of Red Garment Tower had any desire to dominate the local area; they merely wanted the convenience of operating there.
This naturally made the powers that dominated each state domain unwilling to provoke them lightly, lest they gain no benefit and instead bring a heap of trouble upon themselves!
As the saying went, "Looking at a mountain can run a horse to death"!
Although Mu Jinyu saw that Red Building that rose into the clouds, in reality the distance between them was still quite far. Only after he performed Void Shift twice in succession did he finally reach the vicinity of the Red Building.
If it were an ordinary person instead, it would take them at least several days of travelling on foot to reach this place.
And when he arrived near the Red Building, before he even entered within ten li of the Red Building, he suddenly felt an immense pressure from nowhere, forcing him to descend.
Otherwise, he would suffer a certain amount of damage!
This was the effect of the Sky Restriction Formation!
Mu Jinyu had encountered it before.
However, ever since his Cultivation had reached the Void Breaking Realm, he had basically never encountered any Sky Restriction Formation again.
In the past he thought that such high-level Air-ban formations didn’t exist, or even if they did, they simply couldn’t suppress his Cultivation. Now it seemed that there were indeed higher-level Sky Restriction Formations; it was just that he hadn’t travelled much before, so he hadn’t run into them.
Judging from this, Red Garment Tower truly deserved its reputation as a great power second only to Dongyue Mansion, able to establish their long-distance Teleportation Arrays across the Eastern Region.
They really couldn’t be underestimated.
Mu Jinyu slowly fell from the air and finally landed safely, without suffering any harm!
After all, although Red Garment Tower had activated a very powerful Sky Restriction Formation, they also feared that some big shot might come to seek their help. If they ended up injuring such a person, they’d really not be able to handle the consequences!
After landing, Mu Jinyu didn’t pay much mind to this matter. He knew this was something Red Garment Tower intentionally did, mainly to intimidate the various travellers coming to Red Garment Tower.
To make them feel some misgivings when they came, so they wouldn’t casually act wild and cause trouble on their turf!
Patting off some dust that had accidentally gotten on his clothes, Mu Jinyu then strode toward the Red Garment Tower before him.
The Air-ban formation of Red Garment Tower had a radius of ten li; it actually wasn’t very large.
Although Mu Jinyu couldn’t fly, with his physique and speed, he still reached the main gate of Red Garment Tower in almost an instant.
"Welcome, honored guest. How may we help you?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu enter Red Garment Tower, a few idle attendants in the hall immediately turned around, polite smiles on their faces as they looked at Mu Jinyu and asked softly.
All of them were dressed in red clothes, looking rather strange.
As if they were stained with blood from head to toe!
And their Cultivation was very high; each of them had the Cultivation of the Unity Realm Stage.
In Dongyue Mansion, those who could cultivate to the Unity Realm Stage were basically Beginner Students already. Some who were a bit stronger could even become Intermediate Students!
Yet all of them had the Cultivation of the Unity Realm Stage, but in Red Garment Tower, they were merely attendants attracting customers?
This made Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but be amazed, feeling that the rumors about Red Garment Tower seemed a bit off.
It seemed Red Garment Tower wasn’t just slightly weaker than Dongyue Mansion; the difference between the two might actually be about the same level...
Or perhaps, the reason people said Red Garment Tower was weaker than Dongyue Mansion was because of the gap at the very top level of combat power?
Wei Qiankun, as the Mansion Master of Dongyue Mansion, possessed the Cultivation of the Late Space-Light Realm, whereas the Tower Master of Red Garment Tower might not have reached the Chrono Light Realm?
So in the public’s assessment, the overall strength of Red Garment Tower was inferior to Dongyue Mansion?
Maybe that was the reason?
These thoughts flashed through Mu Jinyu’s mind, and then he couldn’t be bothered to think further. His gaze shifted to these attendants as he softly said, "I want to take an ultra long-range teleportation array. Does your Red Garment Tower have one?"
"Yes, yes, we do!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the attendant’s expression grew even more enthusiastic. He nodded, smiling respectfully as he said, "We do have an ultra long-range teleportation array here, which can lead to various state domains. May I ask where the honored guest wishes to go?"
"If the destination requires crossing ten consecutive state domains, we even offer a discount!"
Hearing their words, Mu Jinyu nodded and replied, "I want to go to West Sea State. How many Source Stones will that cost?"
West Sea State was the state domain closest to the West Coast.
You could say that once you arrived there, everything ahead was an endless stretch of ocean. Either you found a way to cross it, or you had no choice but to turn back.
Hearing that Mu Jinyu wanted to go to West Sea State, the attendants’ eyes immediately lit up, and the way they looked at him grew even hotter.
This counted as a big order.
After all, from this state domain to West Sea State, there were as many as thirty-some state domains in between.
That would require quite a lot of Source Stone.
"Honored guest, let me put it this way: if you only wanted to take a single Teleportation Array to teleport to the adjacent Donghua Continent, it would cost fifteen jin of Source Stone!"
"But since you want to go directly to West Sea State in one go, you’ll have to cross thirty-two state domains on the way. Originally that would cost four hundred and eighty jin of Jade. Now I’ll give you a discount: we’ll only charge you twelve jin of Source Stone per state domain, that comes to three hundred and eighty-four jin of Source Stone. Then we’ll round the tail off and only charge you three hundred and eighty jin of Source Stone. How does that sound?"
An attendant said to Mu Jinyu with a beaming smile.
"Mhm, so that’s a discount of a hundred jin of Source Stone, right? That’s acceptable."
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, then said, "Alright, then arrange it for me. I want to head to West Sea State immediately."
It was still a bit expensive.
If he used the ultra long-range teleportation array of Dongyue Mansion, it would probably only cost him a hundred jin of Source Stone.
But here at Red Garment Tower, it required an extra two hundred and eighty jin.
There was no helping it though; this was someone else’s turf.
And the reason Dongyue Mansion’s cost was so low was because they only charged him the cost of activating the ultra long-range teleportation array, and didn’t charge him any additional fees.
Whereas Red Garment Tower was here to make money, so of course they couldn’t just charge him at cost.
"Alright, I’ll arrange it for you right away!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the attendant’s smile grew even brighter. He then indicated that Mu Jinyu should pay a deposit, and they would go make arrangements for him.
The deposit was a total of thirty jin of Source Stone. When Mu Jinyu reached the fifteenth state domain on the way, he would have to pay another hundred and fifty jin of Source Stone.
And once Mu Jinyu finally arrived in West Sea State, he would then pay the remaining two hundred jin of Source Stone.
"Too much trouble. I’ll pay it all at once."
Upon hearing that, Mu Jinyu felt it was a bit troublesome, so he directly took out a Qiankun Ring, turned it in his hand a few times, and then handed the Qiankun Ring to them.
