Lin Yu shook his head. The city defender in front of him alone was a strong man at the level of Holy Lord. Moreover, this was just one of many city guards. If he wanted to forcefully break into the city gate, he would probably have to reach the level of Holy Lord.
Only the strong can do it!
However, most of the powerful people who set out on the road to sainthood set out soon after reaching the level of the Holy Lord. Those who can endure until the Holy Lord reaches the perfect state before setting off are, after all, only a minority among the minority.
Under this situation, almost everyone can only follow the rules set by the Lord of Xingxuan City, and either obediently pay the toll or voluntarily withdraw from Saint Road!
"That's fine."
Lin Yu said nothing more. With a wave of his hand, a storage ring containing treasures worth 50 billion Source Realm Stones flew towards the city guard.
Although he is a swordsman, Lin Yu is not ignorant of flexibility. What's more, he also obtained nearly 500 billion worth of treasures by killing the group of starry sky bandits earlier. Taking some out is nothing.
"Um?"
After counting the number of treasures in the storage ring, the guarding sergeant's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and his attitude towards Lin Yu suddenly became much friendlier, and he said, "Your Excellency is an interesting person. I appreciate this sentiment."
Got it!"
"It's just a little fun."
Lin Yu looked calm and said, "I just hope this information will be worth the money!"
"It's natural."
The city guarding sergeant chuckled lightly and said: "Actually, fellow Taoists, you don't have to think that the city lord has gone too far and collected tolls. This is actually a very common thing on Saint Road."
"You must know that the permanent residents of many ancient cities on the Saint's Road were all losers on the Saint's Road, but they were unwilling to leave, so they stayed in various cities."
"As losers, although they are still on the road to sainthood, most of them have lost their enterprising spirit. Most of them are just wasting their time!"
"Because of this, we old people always feel a little uncomfortable when we see those energetic newcomers."
"Although due to the rules and regulations of Saint Road, we cannot take the initiative to attack newcomers, but if there is an opportunity to target newcomers, most people will not let go of such an opportunity!"
"Tolls are not only a form of making money, but they are also a form of suppression for newcomers. If you can continue on the road to becoming a saint, things like this will not be uncommon."
"You will know in the future that tolls are nothing at all. Some high-level officials in the ancient city, and even the city lords of the ancient city, are simply the spokespersons of certain people and certain forces, specifically used to suppress some outstanding newcomers!"
"It seems that the water on this Saint's Road is also quite deep."
Listening to the story of the city guard sergeant, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel enlightened.
He suddenly remembered that Zong He, the building owner of Lietian Tower, had a conflict with a handyman in this Xingxuan City. He was injured to the core and had to leave sadly.
Perhaps the conflict between the Zonghe Association and the handyman was due to the other party's deliberate provocation, and its purpose was to target the later intruders!
From this point of view, on this road to becoming a saint, you not only have to compete with many other geniuses, but you also have to be careful to guard against the permanent residents of each ancient city, lest you fall on them!
"Okay, next, let me tell you about Xingxuan City."
The city guard sergeant did not continue to talk about this matter. He changed his tone and said: "The test form of Xingxuan City is to collect a treasure called Xingyuan Liquid."
"If you collect one thousand drops of Star Essence Liquid, you can get a clearance token for Xingxuan City. If you collect 10,000 drops of Star Essence Liquid, you can get special opportunities in Xingxuan City!"
"In addition, every time you stay in Xingxuan City for one year, you will have to pay an additional ten drops of Xingyuan Liquid. If you are unable to pay, you will be forcibly expelled from the city!"
"How to obtain this star essence liquid?"
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.
"There are several long rivers of star essence around Xingxuan City. Under normal circumstances, the essence is collected from those long rivers and condensed into star essence liquid."
The city guard sergeant said: "Depending on different strengths, the speed of condensing Star Essence Liquid is also somewhat different. Generally speaking, the top experts of Holy Lord Xiaocheng can condense about fifteen drops of Star Essence Liquid in a year."
"so little?"
Lin Yu frowned slightly and said, "In this case, if you want to obtain the customs clearance token except for the Star Essence Liquid paid, wouldn't it take two hundred years?"
"good."
The city guarding sergeant nodded, then chuckled and said: "If you only gave 30 billion Source World Stones, I would only tell you this method, but considering the extra 20 billion Source World Stones you gave me, I can
Let me tell you a shortcut!"
"In fact, in addition to the several Star Rivers, there is also a Star Secret Realm controlled by an old guy in Xingxuan City, where there are a large number of Star Beasts."
"The strength of these star beasts is not weak. At least they have the top combat power of Holy Lord Xiaocheng. Some of them are even comparable to the power of Holy Lord Dacheng. However, after killing the star beasts, they can refine hundreds of drops, even
Hundreds of drops of Star Essence Liquid!"
"Moreover, there are constant fights and killings in the secret realm of Star Essence. If you have the ability, you can plunder the Star Essence Liquid from other people's hands!"
"Only in that Star Essence Secret Realm is it possible to quickly seize a large amount of Star Essence Liquid, obtain clearance tokens in a short time, and even have special opportunities in Star Xuan City!"
"By the way, the old guy in charge of the Xingyuan Secret Realm is also a greedy guy. If he wants to enter the secret realm, he has to prepare treasures worth 100 billion Source World Stones for him."
"I see."
Lin Yu nodded. If he could get this information, his extra 20 billion Source World Stones would not be in vain.
If he didn't know this information, according to normal methods, it would probably take him two hundred years to obtain the clearance token. If he wanted to obtain the special opportunities in Xingxuan City, it would take another two thousand years.
This waste of time is too long!
As for the secret realm of stars, although it costs 100 billion Source Realm Stones to enter and is more dangerous, it can save him a lot of time, which is naturally of greater significance to him.
"I have marked the old guy's location on this map."
The next moment, the city guarding soldier took out a map and said: "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. If there is nothing else, you can enter the city."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me."
Lin Yu nodded, bowed his hand to the other party, and then entered Xingxuan City without stopping any longer.
…
A moment later, according to the location marked on the map, Lin Yu's figure appeared in front of a remote wooden house.
