Chapter 452 Chapter 187 Arriving at Jiuxiao Immortal City, Meeting Meng Xiaochan Again_2

```

At that moment, a Qingyun Sect disciple named Xuanfeng took out three middle-grade spirit stones and handed them to Lu Changsheng.

"Thirty percent of the ticket price."

Lu Changsheng remembered what Chiyun True Immortal had said earlier, that due to deviation from the course, delaying the journey, thirty percent of the ticket price would be refunded as compensation.

That meant his ride on the spiritual vessel cost him a thousand spirit stones.

However, when Xiao Xiyue had given him the ticket earlier, she did not mention anything about spirit stones.

This indicated that Xiao Xiyue had paid for the spirit stones herself.

It made sense too.

Even though Xiao Xiyue was a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect, it wasn't possible to ride the spiritual vessel without paying.

"Thank you, Daoist Xuanfeng."

Lu Changsheng accepted the spirit stones.

He couldn't help thinking to himself how expensive the ticket actually was.

Even a regular cabin ticket cost a thousand spirit stones.

Not to mention a luxury cabin ticket, which must be three to four thousand spirit stones.

But he also understood that this price was probably just to cover the travel expenses.

A vessel like this, traveling from Qingyun Market to Jiuxiao Immortal City, consumed a significant amount of spirit stones.

Moreover, through conversations over these days, Lu Changsheng also learned that this spiritual vessel mainly ferried between the Jiuxiao Immortal City for Qingyun Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect's business or strategic exchanges.

Carrying other passengers was just incidental.

"Daoist Han is too polite."

Due to the matter with Chu Qingyi, Xuanfeng was very courteous to Lu Changsheng.

After giving a polite bow, he went to return the spirit stones to the other passengers.

"Daoist Han, if in the future you wish to return to Qingyun Market, you are welcome to board the spiritual vessel again."

At this time, Chiyun True Immortal also came up on deck and, looking towards Lu Changsheng with a smile, said.

"Thank you, True Immortal."

Lu Changsheng returned the greeting with a bow.

Afterward, he flew down from the spiritual vessel and arrived at the entrance of Jiuxiao Immortal City.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As soon as he descended, without the Formation's spiritual light from the vessel enveloping him, he felt an intense oppressive force in the air.

It was the third-rank Great Formation of Jiuxiao Immortal City!

"The rumors say that a third-rank formation, having fully connected with the spirit veins and becoming one with them, possesses the capability to create its own domain."

"Attempting to disturb such a Great Formation with a single attack or using talismans for breaking prohibitions is hardly effective."

Lu Changsheng looked at the city walls covered in various rune imprints and glowing with formation light, contemplating inwardly.

Because of his family's formation, he had spent a considerable amount of time learning about formations.

He knew that once a formation reached the third rank, it underwent a qualitative transformation.

It could fully connect with the spirit veins and create its own domain.

This not only allowed the locking of spirit veins easily but also the distribution of spiritual energy concentration among different areas.

It also meant that the Great Formation had no weak points.

Any assault or prohibition-breaking measures would have their power drastically reduced.

All attacks would be distributed through this domain by the Great Formation.

To such a domain, even the attacks of Nascent Soul Immortals were limited.

If a third-rank formation master presided over the Great Formation, maximizing its might, the power would be truly astonishing.

Lu Changsheng did not linger.

Following the crowd, he entered a side hall at the city gate, registered his information, paid spirit stones, and got his identity token.

"This Immortal City charges only ten spirit stones annualy, which isn't expensive at all."

After handling his identity token, Lu Changsheng took the token and entered the Immortal City.

As soon as he entered the city, he felt a sudden weight on him, a mysterious pressure descending upon him.

"Is this, a flying prohibition?"

Lu Changsheng's eyebrows knitted slightly.

He immediately knew it was the effect of the Celestial City Formation.

Preventing Foundation Establishment cultivators from flying within the city.

In places like Red Leaf Valley Market or Nine Dragons Market, although using artifacts to fly and riding spiritual beasts were prohibited,

Once one became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could fly within the marketplace.

But Jiuxiao Immortal City's Great Formation directly imposed a flying prohibition, preventing even Foundation Establishment cultivators from easily flying within the city.

"It makes sense, for a city like this with numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators, allowing unrestrained flying would greatly affect the order."

"And with the flying prohibition, if someone caused trouble in the city, facing the Enforcement Team, escaping would be difficult."

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself, growing even more appreciative of the might of the third-rank Great Formation.

Without delay, he began to stroll through Jiuxiao Immortal City.

Jiuxiao Immortal City was divided into three major areas.

The Outer City District, Inner City District, and Jiuxiao Mountain.

True large shops and businesses were all located in the Inner City District.

However, the city's Outer District was far more bustling than many marketplaces.

Here, Lu Changsheng also spotted several familiar signs.

It seemed that these family powers had extended their shops and businesses into Jiuxiao Immortal City.

After a brief look around, he headed towards the Inner City District.

To make purchases, one must go to the Inner City District.

Meanwhile, at the same time,

Just as Lu Changsheng arrived in Jiuxiao Immortal City,

At the base of Jiuxiao Mountain, within a cave abode,

A girl dressed in snow-white robes, with delicate features and an ethereal aura, opened her eyes.

"Hmm? What's happening? Why do I feel an inexplicable impulsion, an unaccountable palpitation?"

The girl frowned her beautiful brows and muttered to herself.

When cultivators experience a sudden impulse or palpitation, it often signifies that something is about to happen.

"Xiao Chan."

Just then, a beautiful woman walked into the room.

The woman was dressed in a well-tailored, tight-fitting black gauze long dress.

The dress hugged her curvaceous and enchanting figure, with her shoulders exposed, smooth and fair.

It made men naturally want to embrace her shoulders in their arms.

Her slender waist accentuated prominent curves that led to a full and ample bosom.

Long, straight, and fair legs peeked out slightly under the hem, standing in a pair of slender, heel-stiletto black shoes with a faintly pink sole.
