~Chapter 56~

Xiu Yan Tower stands in the middle of Chang'an Street in Nether King City. It is built in an octagonal shape, with a big night pearl on each corner. The outside of the building is covered with gold powder and glazed tiles. To be honest, Xiu Yan Tower looks more luxurious than Zhong Ling Palace. 

The three of them were so eye-catching that as soon as they entered the Xiu Yan Tower, a waiter in the building immediately came out to greet them. 

"Three distinguished guests, please come in. Judging from your tired appearance, you must be new to the Nether Realm." 

Just a few immortals and demons have been into and gone out of the Nether Realm during these ages of time, and Lord Bi Xi is standing guard beyond the barrier. The Ghost Lords waiting to purchase tokens inside the Xiu Yan Tower all glanced at the three of them as soon as they stepped inside. 

Gu Jin always doesn't like to talk much in front of outsiders, so A Jiu naturally took the initiative in such lively exchanges. He snapped his fingers at the waiter, looking like a landowner with a fortune of 80,000 yuan, "Ghost Lord, you guys from the Xiu Yan Tower, how are the tokens sold? Give me a price, I want the one that can see the Nether King as soon as possible." 

As soon as A Jiu said this, the Ghost Lords who were originally only curious about them suddenly looked disdainful as if they were laughing at the joke.  

The waiter was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "This is the first time for you to enter the Nether Realm. I'm afraid you don't know the rules of our Xiu Yan Building. The tokens are divided into three grades. The third-grade token can be summoned by the Nether King after eight days, the second-grade token takes five days, and the first-grade token has to wait three days. As for the price..." The waiter raised his hand and made a three-character sign and pointed to the wall at the door, "The prices are clearly marked here, just bid, then take the token and hand it to Zhong Ling Palace, and wait for the Nether King to summon you." 

The three of them looked at the wall behind them. On the wall, there were a few lines of large characters written with flying dragons and phoenixes. 

First-class token, a thousand gold or a thousand-year spiritual object. 

Second-class token, five hundred gold or five hundred years of spiritual objects. 

Third-class token, three hundred catties or three hundred years of spiritual objects. 

The black writing on the white wall is clear and unmistakable, except for the eight characters "genuine goods at a reasonable price, no deception". 

With black lines drawing their faces, the three of them at last realized where Xiu Yan Tower's luxury came. Even for a cultivating sect like Da Ze Mountain, with its solid foundation, it would be helpful if the entire sect could gather 50,000 gold. While it is not unusual to find spiritual artifacts dating back thousands of years at the mountain gate, they are not something that should be traded carelessly. But in Xiu Yan Tower, a thousand-year-old spiritual artifact can be readily traded just by arranging a meeting with the Nether King ahead. It is comparable to honing a knife and preparing to slaughter sheep.

Coincidentally, the three of them now felt that they were the sheep being slaughtered. 

 They only had a handful of gold leaves given by Yan Shuang, which were not even worth a hundred gold, let alone a thousand gold.
