C1333 Coming to Seek Refuge
Chu Tian also took a look at the so-called imperial capital. The towering city walls were over a thousand feet tall. It felt like a cliff, and the imperial capital had also set up a formation.
Just by looking at it, it was impossible to find out what kind of formation it was. Chu Tian did not delve into it. As for the towering city gates, they were 30 meters tall and 15 meters wide, and there were side doors on both sides.
However, the main city gates weren't opened. If one wanted to enter the Imperial Capital, they could only use the side doors on both sides.
Even so, it did not feel crowded. The side doors on both sides were guarded by guards. These guards were all full of energy, and with one look, one could tell that they were elite soldiers.
However, their strength was not commendable. If they wanted to enter the Imperial Capital, they had to pay the fee. However, Chu Tian did not need to pay the fee. After all, they followed the caravan.
The entrance fee was naturally paid by the owner of the caravan. Chu Tian and the others waited for a while and then began to enter the Imperial Capital.
After entering the city gate, Chu Tian realized that the Imperial Capital was even bigger than he had imagined. He was afraid that the Imperial Capital could accommodate millions of people.
A merchant group of a thousand people like them entering the city was nothing. The Imperial Capital alone was like a country.
The streets were bustling. To Chu Tian and the others, it had been a few months since they last saw such a bustling city. Chu Yunxue also revealed a smile on her face.
"Let's go. Let's take a stroll in the Imperial City first." Chu Tian said.
"But is this okay? Didn't you want to get some information? " Chu Yunxue asked doubtfully.
" Don't worry. We have a lot of time now. We don't need that much time. " Chu Tian held Chu Yunxue's hand and walked out of the carriage. Kong Ling also followed closely behind. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the street. She could not help but drool.
"You little glutton. Don't worry. I will let you have a good meal later." Chu Yunxue smiled and tapped Kong Ling's forehead.
"Then the agreement is done. You can't go back on your word." Kong Ling said seriously.
At this time, Huo Zheng also came to Chu Tian and the others. He held a bag of Spirit Stone in his hand and handed it to Chu Tian.
"Three of you, this is 50,000 Spirit Stone. Although it is a little more than the agreed amount, this is also because the three of you have contributed a lot. Please do not decline. We will take our leave now. We will meet again if fate allows it." Huo Zheng said.
Chu Tian nodded his head and didn't intend to refuse. This man was very cautious and didn't dare to offend Chu Tian and the others. If Chu Tian didn't accept this, he was afraid that he would think too much in his heart.
After that, Chu Tian kept the Spirit Stone into his Spirit Ring. Chu Yunxue glanced at Huo Zheng and the others as they left.
"This world of cultivators in the outside world is really ruthless." Chu Yunxue sighed helplessly.
"Cultivators always go against the heaven's will. Just to protect their own lives, they have to use all of their strength, let alone friendship." Chu Tian sighed.
The resources in this world were even more scarce than he had imagined. It could be seen from the actions of Huo Zheng and the others.
"Mistress, let's hurry up." Kong Ling could not help but urge him. Chu Tian smiled bitterly helplessly.
Kong Ling did not care about these things at all, but perhaps it was because of her temperament that it was easier to get along with her.
After that, the three of them began to stroll around the Imperial Capital. Along the way, Kong Ling was the most active one, and her appetite once again shocked the world. She ate the entire street like a tornado.
Of course, Chu Tian was responsible for all the expenses. Chu Tian was already used to such things. Along the way, he was also observing the cultivators of the Imperial Capital. He could see the traces of many cultivators.
However, the number of experts was still not large. Most of them were low level cultivators. Chu Tian thought to himself. As expected, even in the favorable cultivation conditions, it was impossible to nurture an expert in the face of a huge number of cultivators.
The Imperial Capital was indeed as he had expected. Chu Tian found a place to settle down after this. Since he wanted to find out more information, it wouldn't be something that could be done overnight.
Even in the Imperial Capital, Chu Tian had heard that there were several powerful and snobbish sects. They maintained the balance of the Imperial Capital. In this bustling Imperial Capital... The foundations of these powers might not be here, but they were definitely powerful existences that couldn't be ignored.
Chu Tian's goal was to enter one of these powers. If he wanted to obtain resources and information, such a major power would be easier to obtain.
As for Chu Yunxue and Kong Ling, they chose to stay in the inn. On one hand, Kong Ling's Demon Beast identity was too sensitive. On the other hand, Chu Yunxue also wanted to calm down and cultivate for a while.
The latter had not advanced after reaching the Wisdom Sea. She wanted to calm down and train so that she could break through her current realm.
Although Chu Tian wanted to help her, if he wanted to reach the Void Sea, he could only rely on his own comprehension. Chu Tian would not be able to help much.
Now, Chu Tian was heading towards a luxurious castle by himself. This castle was very grand, and it was not enough to have a castle like this in the Imperial Capital.
This was the territory of Encyclopedical Good Sect, and it was one of the major powers in the Imperial Capital. It had supported the financial resources of the Imperial Capital, and it wasn't just limited to this. Because of the financial resources, countless experts had gathered in the Encyclopedical Good Sect.
When Chu Tian arrived at the entrance of the castle, he was stopped. Just the guards' strength was already at the Qi Hai level. They were much stronger than the guards in the capital.
After sensing Chu Tian's strength, these guards carefully released their Qi. If Chu Tian were to barge in, they would immediately attack him.
"This is the territory of Encyclopedical Good Sect. No one is allowed to enter." The guard said.
"I am a rogue cultivator who has come to join the Encyclopedical Good Sect." Chu Tian said frankly.
After hearing his words, all the guards were slightly stunned. Then, some of them immediately entered the castle. It seemed like they were going to deliver the news.
Soon, someone came out of the castle. The person was also a Five Direction Stage warrior. Chu Tian squinted his eyes. No wonder this was the Encyclopedical Good Sect. This man was a Five Direction Stage warrior. It could be seen that there were a lot of geniuses in their sect.
"Fellow Daoist, I heard that you are going to join our Encyclopedical Good Sect. Although our Encyclopedical Good Sect is called the All-Recruiting Hero... Forgive me for being blunt, but a rogue cultivator of your level wants to join our Encyclopedical Good Sect. It is really difficult to put you in an important position. I hope you can ask for something else. " The middle-aged man said.
His words clearly showed that he wanted to refuse. Chu Tian frowned slightly. As expected, suddenly coming here to seek refuge would naturally arouse suspicion. A rogue cultivator who had cultivated to the Five Direction Stage by himself would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others. He was afraid that Chu Tian would be treated as someone with ulterior motives.
"Encyclopedical Good Sect thinks that I'm not strong enough?" Chu Tian asked.
"That's not the case. It's just that the Encyclopedical Good Sect is too small. Fellow Daoist, please understand." The middle-aged man said apologetically, but at this moment, he had already secretly raised his aura.
If Chu Tian really wanted to make a move, he wouldn't be polite anymore.
