It took about three quarters of an hour before he arrived at the city gate.
A city guard leader wearing heavy dark green armor and a dozen city guards wearing dark green leather armor were collecting fees for entering the city at the city gate.
The leader of the city guard wore such heavy armor, but could walk without being affected at all, and his footsteps made no sound. Anyone with a little bit of vision could tell that he must be a warrior.
"Five copper coins for each person entering the city."
When it was Yan Ji's turn to enter the city, a city guard stopped him without raising his head and spoke in a cold tone.
"There are twenty-six of us in total. This is one tael of silver. You need to find 870 copper coins for me."
Yan Ji smiled and took out a tael of silver from the bag hanging on his waist and handed it to the city guard.
The city guard frowned and raised his head. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes fell on Yan Ji's burly body and the twenty or so ferocious faces behind him. He suddenly froze and choked on what he was about to say.
He took the silver, took out eight bunches of copper coins from the bag placed aside, and took out another bunch of copper coins, and counted seventy copper coins from it.
"Here, here are 870 copper coins for you. Count them." The city guard handed the coins to Yan Ji.
"No."
Yan Ji laughed, took the copper coins, and led a group of Black Mountain thieves and goods into the city.
All the city guards moved out of the way and did not check the goods. Only the leader of the city guards glanced at Yan Ji and others, but did not do anything.
In Mocrocosm City, there are no taboos that cannot be bought or sold, so their city guards never check the goods of people entering the city.
Entering the city, a wave of hot air mixed with various flavors hit you, and it was a bit more lively than Luoxue Town.
There are huge crowds of people, and there are cars and horses passing by.
Several teenagers with bright eyes squatted in the corner of the city wall. Every time they saw an outsider with unusual clothes entering the city, one of them would immediately stand up, run forward quickly, and then say something respectfully.
Some people took the boy away, while others cursed the boy and drove him away.
"Sir, do you need a guide? I know Mocrocoda City very well. There is no place I can't find in Mocrocoda City, and there is nothing I don't know about. Moreover, I am very cheap. I only need ten coins for the whole day.
Copper coins will do."
Similarly, when Yan Ji entered the city, a young man of about 13 or 14 years old, wearing a white washed shirt and a dozen patches of patchwork, walked forward quickly, with bright eyes and a respectful tone.
"Lead the way and take us to an inn to stay."
Yan Ji stopped, looked down gently at this young man who was about the same age as himself, took out ten copper coins from his arms and threw it to him.
"Thank you sir, sir, please follow me!"
The young man's face showed joy, he quickly caught the copper coins with both hands, and thanked him profusely.
He really hasn't met many such generous guests.
Most guests will only give them money after the end of the day, and some winners will even give less or no money.
Although the latter will be told to the Snake Gang, when the time comes, someone will ask for money and teach these people a lesson.
But in this case, all the money that is being asked back will be taken by the Snake Gang, and they will not get a penny.
"Boss Yan, there is actually no need to hire this kid. I have been to Mocrocosm City many times and am very familiar with it. If you want to know anything, just ask me."
Seeing this, Luo An hurriedly stepped forward and said, looking at the young man who led the way with a hint of hostility, as if the young man had robbed him of his job.
'Big boss? I think he's a big shot!'
The young man rolled his eyes and looked at Luo An, "Sir, maybe you haven't been here for a long time. The situation in Mocrocosm City has changed again and again recently, and you may not know many things.
"For example, a batch of high-quality ghosts have recently come to the black market and will be auctioned in more than two months. This has never happened before."
Luo An was speechless. Indeed, the last time he came to Mocrocosm City was half a year ago, and he had never seen a black market auction spirit before.
After all, there are very few monsters in the Qingyang Mountains, and even if there were any, they would have to go deep into the mountains.
And even the most common spirits are as powerful as flesh-level warriors.
Moreover, most of them are rebellious and would rather die than surrender. Except for large forces with Qi and Blood Realm warriors in charge, few people can capture live spirits.
But when it comes to capturing and selling spirits, how can a force with Qi and Blood Realm warriors do such a thankless task? If they encounter a monster in the deep mountains, the whole army will be wiped out.
"No need to say more, just lead the way." Yan Ji waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes, sir, please follow me!" The young man quickly led the way.
Luo An also shut his mouth, he did not dare to offend Yan Ji.
The young man led Yan Ji and the others through the streets.
If it weren't for Yan Ji and other Black Mountain thieves, all of whom were strong and tall, they could easily push passersby away.
And when most pedestrians see them, they will take the initiative to give way. It might take them half an hour just to cross the street.
About ten minutes later.
Yan Ji and his party came to a rather shabby inn that was located in a relatively remote area with few guests.
“Ruyi Inn”
The name of the inn is written on the scratched and dusty plaque.
"This is it. Sir, there are twenty-six of you. If you go to a big inn in the city, there won't be enough empty rooms. Only this inn can accommodate so many of you.
"Furthermore, the food in this inn tastes very good, the rooms are clean and tidy, and it is very cheap. It can save you a lot of money. If you are not satisfied, I can take you to the next hotel."
The young man was afraid that Yan Ji would be dissatisfied, so he quickly explained.
"Okay, this is it." Yan Ji glanced at the young man.
After hearing Yan Ji's words, Guo Qi and others, who were still a little dissatisfied at first, who wanted to say something, immediately put away their expressions.
Without waiting for Yan Ji's order, Guo Qi quickly entered the inn and shouted: "Is the shopkeeper here? We want to stay in the inn!"
The drowsy middle-aged shopkeeper who was crawling on the counter immediately became energetic. He quickly wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked with a quick smile on his face:
"How many guests do you have? How many rooms do you want? Do you want the upper room, the middle room or the lower room?"
"There are twenty-six of us. We want one of the best rooms and five lower rooms, and we will be given three tables of good wine and good food. Especially our boss, Yan, wants the best."
Guo Qi pointed back with his thumb at Yan Ji, who followed him into the inn.
"Okay! Guests, please wait a moment. I will immediately ask the waiter to clean the room for you, and call the kitchen to prepare three tables of good wine and delicious food for you.
"To be fair to you, sir, you came at the right time. Recently, our inn has received a new batch of high-quality ingredients, but the price is a bit expensive..."
The middle-aged shopkeeper noticed the young man next to Yan Ji, an inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes, and then immediately shifted his gaze to look at Yan Ji standing aside.
