章 42: Inspection

"Wha..." The two people who had been hostile now became dumbfounded after their aura of cultivation pressure had vanished; with just a light sweep from the masked young master who suddenly came as a third party.

"Don't you realize, your words may offend many people. You said before that your clan is famous in the Crossing Locust Region. Yes, just famous, nothing more than that while not the strongest one. So, watch your words carefully."

Aizen gives a few lectures in neutral tones and cold eyes to people who are feuding. Seeing them seemingly not answering, Aizen looked away from them to look directly at the two main entrance guards of the city.

"And you are the two guards there, why are you silent watching this dispute?"

"Yo... Young Master, it's not like we're quiet, but we don't dare to act because their strength is far above us." A guard stuttered after being directly stared at by Aizen.

"Is that so? You see, this problem can be solved easily and won't happen again if you have two different paths to enter the city, the ordinary and the special, although the special will be required to pay more. Can you do that?"

"Ma... But, young master. We need to check their belongings and their cultivation level using [Krystalite Stone]."

"Don't you guys have a spare crystal? Use it! I don't know what you guys are doing in the examination room, but you are starting to waste my time!"

The shabbily clothed man began to get angry at the guard who always gave an excuse. Seeing Aizen who seemed to have a very high status and strength that was immeasurable even by him, he only utilized the circumstances to immediately enter the city.

"Yes... Yes. Right away. You, help me prepare everything." One of the guards did not dare to be negligent and told his coworker to get ready to go into the examination room to prepare everything after seeing Aizen nod his head a little to hear the argument of the man in shabby clothes.

Zhu Chun and his two followers just kept quiet while estimating the identity of Aizen that they didn't recognize and didn't seem simple. If it was only seen from his appearance, he could be considered a young master of a great clan in a certain region.

Zhu clan head who is also his father has warned to be careful in every action in this exploration because the crouching tigers and hidden dragons would come from various regions to gather there.

Because he was too worried for his son who had never gone on an adventure, the head of the Zhu clan gave some life-saving treasures and his two guards who were in the Nascent Spirit Realm to disguise their cultivation and acted as ordinary followers.

All the upper classes in Zavier agree that if the gate to the hidden realm arises, they only send young people under the age of 25 years from their clans or sects to go there to hunt for treasures because if they leave, perhaps a big fight will occur like in the past.

Therefore, an agreement was formed. If anyone breaks that rule, they will become enemies by many clans and will be hunted down.

There are two guards inside the examination room and the other two are guarding outside the examination room which is connected to the entrance to the city.

The large main entrance is temporarily closed and only allows migrants to enter through the inspection room to check their belongings and cultivation levels to ensure they do not endanger the city given the large number of arrivals entering the city after rumors of gates to the hidden realm appeared near this city.

"Now we have finished preparing it, for the normal entry point will be according to the procedure with the same entry fee. While the special entry point will be given a special path with a fourfold fee." A guard immediately exits the examination room next to the main entrance and announces Aizen's previous proposal after a few moments of preparing the procedure.

"Heh! You said you were from a famous clan, right? Then, enter the special entrance lane in that room! If it wasn't for this young master, maybe you would have been battered! Ptui!"

The shabby man was mocking Zhu Chun before entering the usual entrance, while the young master in question was Aizen who seemed to be their arbiter.

"Huh! I'll make you battered even your mother won't recognize you anymore! Em, then, this young master excused himself."

Zhu Chun returned the insult from the shabby man who just laughed badly as he entered the examination room.

Zhu Chun who was in a bad mood then gave Aizen a short greeting and immediately entered the special examination room right beside the usual room and was followed by two of his followers who were also his protectors along with their three lions, he entered while thinking of a way to giving a shrewdly clothed man a meaningful lesson.

Aizen just saw it all without changing his attitude. After a few moments passed, the queue was resumed with only one guard in front of the entrance to each room.

"Let's go." Aizen spoke to his two girls who were only watching from the very back row before the two of them followed Aizen into the special examination room with great delight.

'Hehe... They don't even dare to say another word after you interfere, Brother Aizen.' Ana expressed her joy through their connection.

'That is why we appear with a mysterious identity and status that is no less mysterious than the power they cannot measure. Fufu...' Axel just added.

'Hum.' Aizen only hummed while designing lots of plans in his mind based on Axel's adventure history and her experience in their database.

After entering the examination room, there was nothing unique in the examination room, only an empty room with crystals on a table in the middle of the room and four guards on duty.

"Please remove your luggage from the [Storage Ring] for inspection. Um, you didn't bring the [Storage Ring]? Then please proceed to the crystal."

One of the guards saw Aizen, Ana, and Axel who were a group that did not have [Storage Ring] on their fingers and just skipped the luggage inspection procedure and went straight to the strength check.

Little did he know, the three of them did not store their luggage in a place like that which had become common storage used in Zavier.

"Please touch [Krystalite Spirit Stone]. That crystal will run the rest." Instructions from a guard beside the crystal.

Aizen touched the round crystal called [Krystalite Spirit Stone] and nothing happened.

'How do you make this crystal work, according to the name of this crystal, we don't cultivate spirit power, do we?' Aizen with a confused face asked Axel.

'Fufu... Try to transfer a little of the output energy to the crystal to the desired level.' Axel provided a solution considering they used [Axel Energy] in their bodies instead of the spirit power cultivated by the cultivators here.

Aizen processes [Axel Energy] from his body and converts it into output energy to crystals equivalent to [Rank 3].

<| Golden Spirit Realm | Age: 18 |>

A holographic screen appears just above the crystal and the guards look at the data and take notes before making entry to Aizen.

<| Golden Spirit Realm | Age: 18 |>

<| Nascent Spirit Realm | Age: 18 |>

Ana and Axel took turns touching the crystal and gave them permission to enter. Although the guard who made him look surprised after seeing the data belonging to the woman dressed in gold and wearing a gold veil.

Only 18 years old and already in the Nascent Spirit Realm, this was another group of geniuses and they seemed to be from the great clan!

Although from the previous group there were also two Nascent Spirit Realm, the difference is their age was already at 25. While most of the guards there only had strength in the Golden Spirit Realm in their middle age.

"For the entry fee of 48 low tier spirit coins, since three people use a special entry point that has 4 times the normal cost." Afterward, they were asked for an entrance fee by the other guard.

This could be called a daytime robbery for ordinary people. A fee of 4 low tier spirit coins for entry fees alone is considered expensive for ordinary people. The mayor seems to take advantage of the situation and increase the cost of entry into the city which usually only requires 1 low tier spirit coin.

Axel took out the 48 light blue coins in question before putting them on the table and the three of them came out of the examination room.

'It turned out to be just like that, and they only took a long time to inspect luggage.' Aizen mumbled in his mind before thinking about what to do next.
