«You have discovered Phoenix City»

When Yuan and the others approached the city, they immediately noticed the massive line stretching for at least a mile long from the city entrance.

"What in heaven's name? Why is the queue so long?" Yuan stared at the line with wide eyes.

"It's only natural this place is so busy. Phoenix City is one of the most popular areas within the Eastern Continent due to its rich environment and abundance of treasures, so powerful Cultivators and rich merchants from all over the world come here to do business," Xiao Hua explained to him.

"Anyway, let's get in line first. Over a dozen people had entered the line by the time you finished speaking!" Yuan said as he walked to the back of the line.

After standing in line for half an hour, it was finally their turn to enter the city.

"Place your hands on this ball," said one of the guards once Yuan approached them.

Yuan placed his hands on the crystal ball, and once the guards confirmed that he was not a criminal, they said, "Entrance fee for Phoenix City is one gold coin."

"The three of us are together," Yuan said as he handed them 3 pieces of gold coins.

"Here are your guest permits. Due to the immense population and not wanting to overpopulate the city, you are only allowed to stay in Phoenix City for three days. If you are caught past your date, you'll be fined 100,000 gold coins. If you wish to stay longer, you must visit the Administration Hall, and you can extend your time for a price."

"I understand, " Yuan had to agree to such rules before they were finally allowed inside.

"Wow, this place is far more popular than I'd thought if they need to make such rules fearing for overpopulation…" Yuan said once they were inside.

"Most popular cities that focus on business are like this," Xiao Hua said.

"Well, three days is more than enough, as we'll be leaving immediately after we obtain a Spirit Fruit. Anyway, where do we go now?" Yuan asked her.

However, Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "Xiao Hua has never been here before— she has only heard of the Golden Phoenix Bazaar being here."

"Then I guess we'll have to ask around," Yuan said.

After spending a few minutes speaking to the pedestrians, Yuan got a good idea of the direction and began making his way towards the Golden Phoenix Bazaar with the other two girls.

"This place is really meant for business only. No matter where we go, the streets are filled with nothing but shops." Yu Rou said as they walked, enjoying the scenery. "Do people even live in this city? Because I haven't seen any houses yet."
