Chapter 1248

The moment she arrived, she immediately asked him to leave. This woman was undoubtedly experienced and decisive.

"Sister Hong, I …" The woman raised her head.

The white-clothed woman's expression was indifferent as she said, "I don't care what grudges you have between the two of you, but the premise is that you are not allowed to offend the guests. This is the rule. The rules of Precious Weapon Pavilion must be followed. Here, in the entire Zhan Wu Continent, no one can ignore the rules."

The manager's words were almost a death sentence. The woman's eyes immediately filled with despair. She was only at the late stage of the Virtual Realm. Once she left, where could she go?

She was unwilling and even desperate. She wanted to make a final struggle. She looked at Zi Chen with a pitiful gaze and asked for help.

Zi Chen smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Zi Chen thought that he was a good person, but he would never admit that he was a good person. He would never repay evil with good, but he would never repay good with evil. To put it bluntly, he was just an ordinary person. He also had his own selfishness.

If he was really just a Virtual Realm rookie, the other party's actions would not only humiliate him, but also lead to a fatal disaster.

For this kind of person, even if the other party was a woman, Zi Chen would let the other party fend for themselves. Perhaps Zi Chen could help her with one sentence, but he was unwilling to say it.

After following Sister Hong for so many years, the woman naturally knew that Sister Hong meant what she said. Now that even a Virtual Realm expert would not help her, she knew that leaving was a foregone conclusion, so she despaired.

However, she smiled in despair. She first bowed to Sister Hong and said, "Thank you, Sister Hong, for your years of cultivation."

Sister Hong's expression was still indifferent. She did not respond.

Then the woman turned around and looked at Zi Chen, saying, "I'm just a little girl with no background. Sister Hong can drive me away because I accidentally offended you. I have no power or influence, so I can't do anything to you. However, I want to tell you that not everyone is like a little girl like me. If you only offended me today, I naturally would not retaliate against you, nor would I be able to. Unfortunately, you also offended the city's army, so I wish you good luck in advance."

Zi Chen naturally understood the woman's meaning. He looked back at the original Virtual Realm expert and asked, "You are the city's army."

"That's right, I'm from the city's central army. Kid, we'll meet again."

Shi Zhen smiled coldly at Zi Chen, then walked out of the door. The woman quickly followed.

After the two left, Zi Chen didn't say anything else. So what if they were city guards? Zi Chen had killed quite a few city guards. He had even killed a late Corporeal realm expert.

The woman's final threat was ineffective against Zi Chen.

The woman in white walked towards Zi Chen and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm really sorry that such a thing happened."

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal."

"I heard from Xiao Li that you have a batch of resources on you. If we complete the transaction and you don't mind, our Precious Tool Pavilion will help you solve the problem just now." The white-clothed woman sat down near Zi Chen, and a faint fragrance wafted towards Zi Chen.

Zi Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Including the army in the city."

"Of course."

This answer surprised Zi Chen. He didn't think that Precious Tool Pavilion would even dare to touch the army in the city. However, when he thought about it, the other party was only at the early Corporeal realm. Even in the army, she was just a small character.

"Let's talk about the transaction first. I'll take care of the rest myself." Zi Chen indifferently refused.

The white-clothed woman glanced at Zi Chen in surprise and said, "Before the transaction, let me introduce myself. I'm Shangguan Hong, the manager of Precious Tool Pavilion. Usually, everyone calls me Sister Hong."

"Zi Chen."

Zi Chen responded indifferently, but a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. This was the second time he had heard the surname Shangguan.

"How many fruit trees do you have? If it's too little, I'm afraid it won't be worth much." Shangguan Hong asked directly, not noticing Zi Chen's abnormality.

At this moment, there were only two people nearby, and the two people making the transaction weren't speaking loudly.

"How much will it take for a high price?" Zi Chen asked.

Shangguan Hong thought for a moment and said, "If it's ten thousand, I can only give you six hundred per tree. If it's twenty thousand, I can give you seven hundred. If it's thirty thousand, I can give you eight hundred."

"Eight hundred per tree. If it's thirty thousand trees, it'll be twenty-four million. Are you sure you can make the decision?" Zi Chen looked at Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Hong's smile was somewhat charming. She said, "My authority is below two hundred thousand trees."

If it was below two hundred thousand trees, it would be over a hundred million. A mere manager could use such a large amount of money. Zi Chen was somewhat suspicious of the other party's identity.

Zi Chen was satisfied with the other party's price. After all, the other party was also a businessman. Naturally, they would want to make a profit.

"I have a total of forty-three thousand eight hundred and thirty-five trees. Give me half of them in Virtual Boundary fragments and the other half in Corporeal Boundary fragments." Zi Chen said after pondering for a moment.

In addition to the Law Fruit Tree, he also had some Virtual Boundary Fruit Trees. However, Zi Chen didn't want to sell them all at the moment.

Shangguan Hong was obviously a little surprised by the amount Zi Chen gave. After seeing the real thing, she seemed very satisfied.

The transaction went smoothly. After that, Zi Chen also sold the original real soldiers.

After the sale, Zi Chen bought a defensive armor. This was a real soft armor for real soldiers. It was as high as 7.1 million.

With a transaction of tens of millions, Zi Chen had become a big customer here. When he left, Shangguan Hong personally sent him to the door.

"Zi Chen, you really don't need our help with the city's army." Shangguan Hong asked before leaving.

Zi Chen laughed when he heard this. "If you want to help me personally, I'm naturally happy. If it's you, then forget it."

After saying that, Zi Chen left.

Shangguan Hong watched Zi Chen leave. Obviously, this was a mysterious Virtual Boundary.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Zi Chen found that someone was following him. However, he didn't care. As long as he didn't leave the city, no one could do anything to him.

After making a few more rounds at the other trading points, Zi Chen returned to the inn after failing to find anything useful.

During this time, Zi Chen passed by Hunter's Castle. There were many cultivators there, both Virtual Boundary and Corporeal Boundary. However, Zi Chen didn't go in.

After this transaction, Zi Chen had an extremely large sum of money. However, although the number sounded huge, it was pitifully small when exchanged for Corporeal Boundary fragments.

One had to know that a Corporeal Boundary fragment was equivalent to ten thousand Law Fragments. Zi Chen's tens of millions could only be exchanged for a few thousand Law Fragments.

If these several thousand Law Fragments were exchanged for Virtual Boundary fragments, it would still be a huge sum. It would be enough for Zi Chen to cultivate for a long time. However, he couldn't forget that there was still a Storm Eagle here. At this stage, the Storm Eagle needed to refine Corporeal Boundary fragments.

Therefore, Zi Chen still needed resources.

Zi Chen stayed in the inn for two days. On the third day, Wang Jun sent someone to deliver something to Zi Chen.

The person who came was also a city guard. When he saw Zi Chen, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

"You're Zi Chen. This is your token. Take this and register at the military headquarters at noon to participate in the examination. Remember, you can only arrive early and not late. If you're late, you'll be disqualified." The city guard handed a token to Zi Chen and said indifferently.

Zi Chen took the token and nodded.

The city guard was somewhat dissatisfied with Zi Chen's attitude and turned to leave.

There were many Corporeal Realms in the city, but not all of them were part of the city's army. Therefore, when the other cultivators in the inn heard the conversation between the two, they looked at Zi Chen with a strange gaze.

In their eyes, if a mere early-stage Virtual Boundary cultivator could participate in the examination, it could only mean that he had an extremely powerful backer behind him.

Zi Chen's mind was still in a daze because he hadn't decided yet. However, since Wang Jun had already made arrangements, he had to go no matter what.

This kind of examination quota was something that others couldn't even dream of. Zi Chen, however, didn't want to. If others knew about this, who knew what they would think?

Zi Chen had just returned to his room when he remembered what the city guard had said before he left. He decided to go there in advance.

If he really was disqualified later, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Wang Jun.

Zi Chen walked out of the inn and headed for the military headquarters.

The military headquarters was directly across from Hunter's Castle. It was very easy to find. It was a very large castle with the city guard guarding the entrance.

Zi Chen arrived and took out the examination token at the entrance. When the city guard saw the token, he looked at Zi Chen with a strange expression.

The token was genuine. No matter how surprised the city guard was, they still had to let him in.

When Zi Chen arrived at the drill ground, he realized that he wasn't the first to arrive. There were already dozens of Corporeal Boundary cultivators here. It seemed that they were all waiting for the examination.

In this world, it was very difficult to hide one's aura without a high-level concealment technique. Therefore, many people disdained to hide their aura.

If one didn't hide their aura, the power in their body would naturally produce some kind of strong fluctuation with the air. When the crowd felt this fluctuation, they could naturally judge the person's realm based on the strength of the fluctuation.

What Zi Chen brought about was the fluctuation of the Void Law. The fluctuation was very weak, indicating that he was at the early stage of the Void Realm.

His sudden appearance here was destined to attract everyone's attention.

"You're here for the examination."

The military headquarters wasn't like Hunter's Castle. Unauthorized people couldn't enter. It was naturally not a coincidence that Zi Chen was here. Therefore, someone asked.

Zi Chen nodded.

The next moment, there was an uproar.

"What? He's really here for the examination?"

"How is this possible? You're only at the early-stage Virtual Boundary. Even if you're related, it shouldn't be like this."

"I paid a huge price to get this spot. How can a mere Virtual Boundary cultivator get a spot?"

"Didn't they say that the city guard's examination is extremely strict? How can this be?"

These Corporeal Boundary cultivators had more or less paid a price in order to get a spot. At this moment, when they saw Zi Chen, a Virtual Boundary cultivator, they naturally felt extremely unbalanced.

This caused everyone's gazes to become unkind when they looked at Zi Chen.

However, they didn't do anything too extreme. They just stood apart from Zi Chen. A group of Corporeal Boundary cultivators stood together while Zi Chen was isolated.

Just like when he first came out of the teleportation platform, Zi Chen was also not welcomed here.

Zi Chen had already foreseen this scene when he arrived, so he didn't find it strange. He just stood alone to one side and waited for the examination time to come.

Two hours passed quickly. One after another, candidates for the examination arrived. In the end, the number stopped at three hundred.
