Chapter 438: Chapter 363: Received a Harsh Welcome from the Celestial Law World?

"Tsk! The difficulty of this task released by the dog system is a bit high!"

Staring at the task content, Su Yuan frowned.

According to the dog system, the Celestial Law World is governed by the law. Breaking the rules means breaking the law, and you might get caught by the local enforcers and thrown into jail.

If Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan arrive in the Celestial Law World and their first task is to spring someone from the Celestial Prison, that would be awkward.

Moreover, breaking the rules isn’t just a one-time thing, but a hundred times!

If the punishment is harsh and the criminal record accumulates, he might be sent to the Immortal Execution Platform more than ten times!

However, correspondingly, the task rewards are also very tempting.

Demon Technique·Finger Technique.

From the literal meaning, it seems to be a finger from the Ten Demon Fingers series targeting Daoist Technique.

But connecting it with the task content, Su Yuan boldly guessed that the Demon Technique·Finger Technique might not be targeting the law of Dao but the law of rules.

Or more accurately... it’s targeting worldly rules.

Plus, this Demon Technique can be upgraded straight to the third level upon acquisition, making the task reward undeniably tempting.

Thinking about the contradiction between task difficulty and reward, Su Yuan sighed to himself, having to take one step at a time.

Judging from the dog system’s standards, he might find some loopholes to accomplish the task without serious violations.

While pondering, the leader of the ascenders from the Cold Plum World spoke seriously:

"Ahead is the Teleportation Array leading straight to the Immortal Official Examination venue. Be cautious not to offend the Immortals from the Main World."

The young ascenders habitually agreed out loud.

Su Yuan also echoed, discreetly observing the leading Golden Core.

This was a Golden Core Peak, a native cultivator from the Cold Plum World.

He learned from Su Youlin’s intel that this leader couldn’t get an official position when he was young and only barely advanced to this realm under the protection of his family.

Moreover, his foundation in the Golden Core Stage is terribly unstable, even in a backward Great World like Cold Plum World.

Su Yuan even thought he could eliminate him directly with the Tribulation Moon Pearl, Chi Yuan Sword, Profound Strange Sword, and other Magical Treasure Divine Soldiers at the right moment.

Precisely because this person is quite mediocre, he’s been stuck developing in Cold Plum World, excluded from the Immortal Official System.

Even when facing a cultivator from the Celestial Law World at the first or second layer of the Golden Core Stage, he would feel inferior.

Led by the escort leader, the ascenders proceeded a distance through the spacious Ascender Hall to a plaza with a large Teleportation Array.

Of course, although called a large Teleportation Array, its technique level couldn’t connect between worlds to teleport the ascenders here directly, showing a generational gap compared to Wu Luo True Monarch’s Rainbow Transmission Array.

Yet even this Teleportation Array served as a transportation hub between the Main World and its subordinate worlds, guarded by two cultivators at the early Golden Core Stage.

The two guards wore silver armor, standing two meters tall, appearing majestic and extraordinary, fitting Su Yuan’s image of Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

But as soon as these ’Celestial Soldiers and Generals’ spoke, Su Yuan’s filter shattered instantly.

"Ascenders from Cold Plum World? Mere second-class citizens, each of you pays a toll of a hundred Spirit Coins, a thousand for the Golden Core."

One hundred Spirit Coins...

Upon hearing the familiar extortion tone and seeing the large hand extended for money, Su Yuan felt his mind shrink.

Not just him, but even the first-time ascenders here stirred in unrest.

After all, a hundred Spirit Coins are no small amount for them.

Spirit Coins are the common currency in Celestial Law World and its subordinate worlds, the size of a copper coin, made of jade.

Each Spirit Coin contains enough Spiritual Energy to sustain an average Foundation Establishment cultivator’s daily cultivation.

To compare purchasing power, one Spirit Coin is about equivalent to a thousand Federation Coins in the Blue Star Federation.

It sounds like a lot, but it’s not.

In the Blue Star Federation, even in Primordial Sect’s factories, a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s monthly salary could reach over three hundred thousand.

Including Elixir subsidies, Magical Treasure subsidies, Spirit Stone subsidies, and other benefits, the total salary value a Foundation Establishment cultivator can receive is about five hundred thousand Federation Coins.

What about the regular income of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Cold Plum World?

A maximum of one hundred Spirit Coins per month, which is about ten thousand.

That’s an income more than five times less than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Blue Star Federation.

And this ten thousand isn’t something that just any Foundation Establishment cultivator can get; it’s only available to those who have joined a Major Sect and completed certain sect missions.

Foundation Establishment cultivators not officially employed in the Celestial Law Main World might earn a bit more, but the most they can make is two hundred Spirit Coins, still incomparable to Federation cultivators.

In short, a hundred Spirit Coins are no small amount for most people present. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Even though most ascenders come from big families, the families don’t solely support them, and they carry only three or four thousand Spirit Coins at most, often less.

And now it costs a hundred Spirit Coins just to pass?

Is this money really worth spending?

Moreover, such fees are evidently personal charges; calling it robbery wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Su Yuan didn’t think the cost of a single teleportation could exceed a hundred thousand.

However, the team leader Golden Core seemed to have anticipated this, smiling and agreeing, then promptly instructed the twenty-three ascenders to pay, one hundred Spirit Coins per person.

Though everyone harbored discontent and grievances, being newcomers, they obediently paid the fee.
