Chapter 2924: Sky Pass
Sky Pass was no longer limited to a military fortress or a base . It resembled a great city with busy commerce .
Despite being the first gate of Immortal Lineage, the place lacked both guards and patrols .
This was due to a lack of foreign invaders . Moreover, the legion was actually very capable . The wildlands had plenty of villains but none dared to mess with this area .
This resulted in rather lax security . Anyone could enter the pass without being searched or interrogated .
They could come via flying beasts or riding divine mountains or with their auras fully activated… No one would bother to stop them .
This freedom of entry wasn’t a sign of weakness for the legion . It didn’t lack control over the wall and the pass . On the contrary, its grasp remained as tight as ever in the past .
The power of the legion was virtually unmatched in this world . Moreover, its commander, Tai Yinxi, was unfathomable .
This confidence and absolute control resulted in the current lack of military presence, at least in these sectors .
In fact, one would find it difficult to find a single soldier on the street . Nevertheless, everyone still obeyed the laws of the pass, whether it be a powerful Eternal or a regional tyrant .
Even the villains in the wildlands would tuck their tail in between their legs after coming here . There would be no place to hide once being targeted by the legion .
The existence of order resulted in peace and prosperity for many generations . Li Qiye witnessed it the moment he set foot inside .
The prosperous city was enchanting like fine wine . Cultivators would be lost in the temptations of this city and never look back . They would rather be lost in this world and live like kings .
The streets were built with wars and battles in mind . That’s why they were wide enough to accompany dozens of carriages in parallel without a problem .
Impressively enough, they were completely filled with pedestrians . They came from all over the world . One would truly broaden their horizon by just people-watching .
This might be the place with the most diverse gathering of races - Heavenly Buddha Tribe, Eight-armed Tribe, Metalkin Tribe, Immortal Bronze Tribe, Celestial Tribe…
It also had the most merchandise from all over the world . If one couldn’t find something here, they wouldn’t be able to find it anywhere else .
That’s why many powerful cultivators would come to look for their desired artifacts .
Arrogance Enterprise also had a branch here . It might be one of the biggest stores in all of Immortal Lineage .
Outside of the big stores, there were little merchants and peddlers all over the streets .
“New octo-purified dragon blood, come take a look, it’s definitely worth your time!”
“A family heirloom! A treasure tile for cheap!”
“Look, eight-treasured pills personally refined by an alchemy saint, only one bottle left for the highest bidder!”
One could hear these merchants shouting up and down the streets .
Cultivators who wanted to buy things for cheap or young ones without money roamed these areas searching for good deals . Of course, these places were complicated and laden with scams .
A few cultivators also tried to sell their own items . They found an open spot and sat down, either marking a clear price or trading for other items .
Li Qiye watched the merchants and cultivators along the way with a smile on his face .
This sensation was too familiar . He actually enjoyed going to such places to find cheap treasures whenever he had free time .
This time around, he was looking to sell . He picked an inconspicuous corner and sat down, took out a wooden box and placed it in front before leaning back on the wall and closing his eyes .
He didn’t bother to yell or name a price . The corner he picked seemed quiet relative to the rest of the city - a point of serenity among a cacophony of noises .
He only had one customer in mind so he was going to wait here until the time was right .
There were too many sellers like him in these alleyways so few actually paid attention .
Of course, due to the huge mass, one or two would find his item interesting .
“What are you selling, friend?” One person came up and asked .
“A priceless treasure . ” Li Qiye answered without opening his eyes .
“Priceless?” The person became interested and took a meticulous look .
This didn’t look “priceless” at all, at least not when judging by this wooden box .
“Can you open it so I can take a look?” The person asked .
“You can’t afford it . ” Li Qiye lazily said, eyes still closed .
This attitude annoyed the potential buyer . His expression soured: “Bold words there . I want to see what your treasure is that I can’t afford them!” [1]
The buyer had high status and only came out of curiosity, not expecting to be shown such disrespect .
Li Qiye ignored him and maintained the same posture .
“Hmph, you think too highly of yourself, it’s just a broken box . ” The buyer snorted and had no choice but to leave .
Freedom of trade was encouraged here . He couldn’t force the guy to sell the wooden box to him even if it was worthless . No one would dare to rob someone in broad daylight in this city .
A few more came later . One or two were actually masters with keen vision . They could see that this wooden box was special .
They asked to take a look inside but Li Qiye also ignored their request . His attitude annoyed the potential buyers, forcing them to leave .
If this wasn’t Sky Pass, people would have tried to beat him up several times already . After all, his attitude was really asking for it .
This didn’t matter to Li Qiye . He just needed to wait for one person to come . This type of fishing required patience . Plus, he believed that it wouldn’t take too long .
“Oh? It’s you again . ” A pleasant voice sounded today .
Li Qiye opened his eyes and saw the girl - Bai Jinning . She didn’t have armor on today, just casual clothes . This made her look relatively more amiable but still mature and experienced .
He closed his eyes again after a quick glance .
“Great Scholar, what are you selling here?” She remembered how this bastard teased her on the wall and her anger returned .
1 . The I here becomes superior, only used by the big bosses, you know?
