C211 Extremely Rich and Powerful
This city was very special. Because it was next to the East Ocean, it was the largest port in the Southern region, called the City-state. Moreover, it was a permanent neutral zone with very few borders, and it did not belong to any of the empire's forces.
In order to hide it from others, Xu Yang and Female Emperor changed into a more ordinary outfit and snuck into the city. However, they soon discovered the biggest problem here — — the Forbidden Spiritual Array!
In this city, no matter what kind of status you have in other places, no matter how powerful you are, as long as you enter Sang Shui City, everyone will return to a new starting point. As long as you enter the city, no one can use the Spiritual Force to activate techniques.
This City-state was rather large, one could tell by the way it was dressed that there were all sorts of people. Since Xu Yang and his group wanted to go out to sea, the first thing they did was go to the dock.
"Come, come, line up and hand over your exclusive sea travel order. Don't get crowded!"
Several tall City Lord's Mansion guards at the front shouted.
"Ocean travel order? What is that thing? It's not the kind of thing where you can board the ship just by paying up money for it? "
Xu Yang and Xue Qinghan looked at each other.
"It's useless to look at me. I stay in the palace all day to cultivate. The things outside are basically taken care of by the servants."
"En..." Female Emperor, the reason you came to look for our boss is to find yourself a slave! "
Xu Yang: "?"
Female Emperor's frosty face couldn't help but smile when she heard Little Snake's words.
Only then did Xu Yang and Xu Yang learn that the Ocean Travelling Token was an important keepsake that everyone who wanted to enter the East Sea had to obtain. By completing a mission in Sanshui City with City Lord's Mansion, they could exchange it for points, and after reaching a certain point, they could exchange for a corresponding quality Ocean Travelling Token.
The tokens were divided into five grades: white, yellow, blue, purple and orange, which corresponded to the five different ships at the dock. The higher the grade of the tokens, the higher the quality of the cargo.
"Excuse me, other than completing the mission for City Lord's Mansion, is there a faster way to earn points?"
Female Emperor was, after all, an existence at the Overlord level. Since she was young, she was raised on top of others, and she was forced to work for City Lord's Mansion people.
"There is!" For those who were rich and powerful, they usually chose to go to the pawnshop to sell off their property and valuables. They could directly exchange for a certain amount of points according to the ratio. However, I would like to remind you all that the pawn shop here is different from the other pawn shops in the Empire. The currency ratio is one thousand compared to the outside world and the price is one thousand silver taels outside.
"What!"
Female Emperor immediately frowned, but she quickly understood the reason. Sanshui City doing this was to stabilize their own power through City Lord's Mansion, so as far as possible, they would maintain the same starting point as outsiders.
In simple terms, the wealthy merchants outside could only buy three steamed buns with a thousand taels of silver. If ordinary people worked in the city for a day, they could also earn a tael of silver.
Xu Yang had originally planned to do a few missions on the spot. It was evident that Female Emperor did not intend to lower her stature from the start. She had already endured most of the temptation by telling her to wear this coarse hemp clothes.
"Boss, I want to pawn these three pieces of jewelry. How much do you think they're worth?"
Female Emperor was really generous. When she put the three pieces of jewelry on the pawnshop counter, the dozen people around her all subconsciously looked over and even exclaimed.
"A Xue, this thing is too precious, why don't I go to the City Lord's Mansion to accept a few missions, I can probably exchange it for two Ocean Travelling Medallions after a few days."
Xu Yang finally opened his mouth. He saw that what Female Emperor had placed on the counter was actually three phoenix hairpins made from glass! That was a rare piece of jewelry in the entire 3000 Dao Province.
However, Female Emperor didn't even look at Xu Yang. She just said a single word with a calm expression.
"Dang."
The shop assistant inside gave Female Emperor a deep look, then carefully looked at the three hairpins.
"Young lady, please wait a moment. I will go and get our shopkeeper to come and personally set the price for you."
As he said this, the assistant hastily ran into the inner hall. Clearly, he was extremely excited because of the arrival of such a big customer.
"Zi zi zi zi. Boss, you're really Female Emperor!" These three hairpins were priceless, and he said he could take them for free? If you miss out on such a top-notch rich woman, it would be really hard to find her! "
As soon as the little snake's words fell, it was poked three inches by Female Emperor's finger. The bystanders couldn't see Female Emperor at all and only thought that she was touching her husband's pockets, but they didn't know that the dragon inside the bag was screaming and begging for forgiveness, as if someone was holding onto its life, thus obtaining Female Emperor's forgiveness.
In the time it took for half a cup of tea to be brewed, the shopkeeper arrived in person. When he saw the hairpin, his eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets. He couldn't help but look at Female Emperor deeply.
"May I ask who you are …"
"Hmph, since when did the pawn shop dared to interfere with the seller's identity? This is my master's jewelry, hurry up and price it. "
When Female Emperoranyin said that, although she was unable to release her Spiritual Force's pressure inside the Sang Shui city, her powerful mental strength and her noble and graceful temperament was not something that these normal people could withstand.
The shopkeeper put on his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at them for a long time before stretching out five fingers.
"Five thousand taels."
"What!?" Five thousand silver taels? Oh my god... In almost a year, Sang Shui city had never offered such a high price, right? If it was five thousand taels of silver, the hairpin outside would be worth five million! "Oh my god, just what kind of power is behind this lady?"
The shopkeeper didn't hesitate as he took out five silver notes engraved with a golden seal and respectfully handed them over to Female Emperor.
"Young lady, if I were to trouble you to inform your master, if you were to pawn it again in the future, the price of the store would be raised by 20%!" Yuan Bao, quickly send these two esteemed guests off! "
"No need."
Female Emperor grabbed the banknotes with a shake of her hand and immediately dragged Xu Yang out the door. Without waiting for the shop assistant to follow her out, the two of them had already disappeared.
"Let's go!" I have a feeling that this place is not peaceful. Although with the Spiritual Sealing Array, it looks like the security in the city has greatly increased, but in reality, the ones who suffer the most are people like us. Being unable to use Spiritual Force does not mean that there are no hidden dangers within the city. "
Sure enough, this time, Female Emperor had guessed correctly. It might have something to do with her keen sense of smell as a ruler.
Before the two of them could walk out of the third street, a dozen middle-aged men in simple clothing had already locked onto their path.
"You two, where are you in a hurry to go?"
