Chapter 268: Nothing Is Impossible In the Cultivation World!
“Excuse me! Coming through!”
The guard forcefully led Feng Yuxiang and Meixiu through the crowd that was waiting in line for their turn at the teleportation device.
This caused the people already in line to frown, especially since most of them were from somewhat big families, and this was a slap in the face to them since they had to stand in line like everybody else.
“Hey! What gives? How come they get to skip the line while the rest of us stand here?! What’s so special about them?!” Someone in the line suddenly shouted out loud in a frustrated voice, calling them out.
“That’s right! Do you know who I am?!”
“I’ll complain to the Mayor!”
The guard quickly turned around and responded to that person in a sarcastic voice, “Well, if you have the ability to fly, I will also allow you to skip the line. How does that sound?”
“Fly?”
The people there raised their eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
“Do you have a problem with us going first?” Feng Yuxiang suddenly turned around and spoke, even releasing a little bit of her Spirit Grandmaster cultivation base.
“S-Spirit Grandmaster!”
The people there were immensely shocked by Feng Yuxiang’s cultivation base. Just where on earth did this Spirit Grandmaster come from? And how come they don’t recognize her?
“Please forgive us, Senior Grandmaster!”
The people there quickly lowered their heads and apologized to Feng Yuxiang.
Feng Yuxiang didn’t say anything else and continued to approach the teleportation device with Meixiu following behind her.
‘How overbearing…’ Meixiu thought to herself, yet she found it somewhat admirable.
A few moments later, they arrived in front of the teleportation device.
“Esteemed Seniors, because the Eastern Continent is very far away, we can only teleport you to three places. Are you fine with that?” The person managing the teleportation device asked them.
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, “Teleport us to the one closest to the Dragon Essence Temple.”
“The Dragon Essence Temple, right? Give me a moment to look at the map…”
The worker proceeded to look at the large map that was pinned to a portable board nearby; it had the location of every city in the Lower Heavens with a teleportation device.
“That would be the Iron Lotus City, which is approximately 290,000 miles from our current location. As for the price… It will be 3,400,000 gold, Esteemed Seniors.”
‘3,400,000 gold!’ Meixiu was inwardly shocked when she heard the astronomical amount of gold needed to use the teleportation device.
Yu Rou had told her about the exchange rates for Cultivation Online gold and real-life money, and it was about one gold for every seven dollars. In this case, 3,400,000 gold was worth at least 23,800,000 dollars!
This amount of money is more than enough to feed an entire family luxuriously for their entire life, and they’re going to spend all of it on transportation? Not even the richest family in their world would dare to spend so lavishly.
‘Just how on earth did Yuan make someone like her into his servant?’ Meixiu couldn’t help but become curious.
“Here’s 2,500 spirit stones. Keep the change.” Feng Yuxiang handed a storage pouch to the worker in a nonchalant manner, acting as though she was only buying some cheap food.
“T-Thank you very much, Esteemed Senior! Please give me a moment to prepare the teleportation device for you.”
The worker accepted the storage pouch with excitement before counting the spirit stones inside.
Once he confirmed the payment, the worker went to set the settings on the teleportation device so it would teleport them to their desired location.
A few minutes later, the worker returned to them and said, “The teleportation device is ready. Just let me know when and I’ll activate it. Once activated, you have 60 seconds to enter the teleportation device before it loses power.”
Feng Yuxiang turned to look at Meixiu and asked her, “Are you ready?”
Meixiu nodded.
“Let’s go then.”
The two of them stood before the teleportation device a few moments later, and once the worker activated the device, they walked into the portal.
Meixiu felt a little dizzy after entering the teleportation device and the feeling lingered for some time even after the teleportation was finished.
“Are you okay?” Feng Yuxiang asked her.
“Yes… Just a little dizzy.”
“I’m surprised you didn’t throw up since mortals can’t handle much spiritual energy, and you’d just walked through a portal created from a large amount of spiritual energy.” Feng Yuxiang said to her.
And she continued, “You must have a strong soul strength. Makes me wonder why you’re not a Cultivator. You might have the talent for it.”
“I… have no reason to become a Cultivator,” Meixiu said.
After all, she only joined the game so she could help Yuan out.
“No reason? There are plenty of reasons for one to become a Cultivator! Wealth, fame, status, power… Do you not have desires?” Feng Yuxiang asked her.
“My desire…” A certain thought appeared in her mind.
“I do have one, but becoming a Cultivator won’t help me realize that dream. It’s impossible.” Meixiu shook her head.
“Impossible? Nothing is impossible in the cultivation world! At least this is what I learned after following the Young Master for a short time.”
“Yuan?” Meixiu raised her eyebrows.
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, “That’s right. The Young Master is an incredible existence with a limitless future. I have only been with him for a few weeks and I can only imagine how strong he’ll grow in the future.”
“Anyways, we can continue this conversation later. Are you still dizzy? We won’t make it to the Dragon Essence Temple by sunrise if we linger around for too long.” Feng Yuxiang said to her.
“I am okay. We can continue.” Meixiu nodded.
“Okay.”
The two of them returned to the air shortly later, and Feng Yuxiang continued chatting with Meixiu like they were already friends while they soared in the clouds. Perhaps it was due to their similar background as Yuan’s servant, but Feng Yuxiang found Meixiu to be an interesting individual who was very different from the average person.
