Huo Yan saw that this guy wanted to save his face, so she didn't refuse. She smiled meaningfully, "Okay, let's go to the Seven-colored Tower."
She brought Song Shi to the center of the guest area. The area here was comparable to a city. There were many cultivators on the way, and many greeted Huo Yan.
As for Song Shi, he had the Black Tortoise Palace's identity token on him. Everyone thought that he was here to do something, so no one was surprised.
After passing through the residential area, they arrived at a rather prosperous business district. At the end of the street, a huge rainbow door stood tall, emitting obvious spatial fluctuations.
"Let's go. The rest and entertainment venues like the Rainbow Tower are basically in the independent Rainbow Realm."
Huo Yan said.
"It shouldn't be too big inside. How can it be called a realm?" Song Shi did not understand.
"Even a mortal cultivation technique can be called a divine technique. Isn't it normal to brag?"
Huo Yan naturally brought Song Shi through the rainbow gate. The space changed, and everything suddenly opened up in front of him.
Song Shi did not even have the time to go to such a place when he was in the Black Tortoise Palace. He could not help but size up the place.
This place was exceptionally spacious. Song Shi had really mistakenly thought that he had entered a new world. He could not help but sigh at how generous it was to build this space.
"Although the Vermilion Bird Palace was built to resist the demons, there are hundreds of thousands of cultivators living here. Hence, the Rainbow Realm is even more prosperous than many super cities in the Black Spirit Realm. Furthermore, there are many top treasures in the Black Spirit Realm sold here. It's just that it's a little expensive. After all, the price of sending things here is higher, and the demand here is also greater."
Huo Yan chuckled and pointed at a huge classical building that was crystal clear and emitted a seven-colored light like a rainbow. "That's the seven-colored building. Which floor are you going to?"
Song Shi's gaze was attracted by the exquisite and beautiful Vermilion Bird Tower. He subconsciously said, "Of course it's the top floor. The scenery up there should be pretty good."
"Pfft!"
Huo Yan couldn't help but laugh. "You've never heard of the Seven-Colored Tower, right? This building has seven floors, and each floor is more expensive than the last. Only a Fusion Great Saint can afford the seventh floor."
"Oh, it's so luxurious. Could it be that there's phoenix meat and dragon liver to eat?" Song Shi was curious.
"It's not that there aren't any, but you can't afford it. Moreover, eating those will easily provoke the dragon and phoenix races. It's very unpleasant."
Huo Yan didn't think that a person who had just broken through to the Void Refinement Realm could afford to consume these things.
"Let's go. I'll eat these delicacies even if I have to sell my dharma treasures today."
Song Shi thought to himself, I've been scared out of my wits so many times. Can't I eat something precious to console myself?
"Sigh, why do you have to do this?"
Huo Yan shook her head when she heard this. She had seen many people like him who tried to puff oneself up at one's own cost. Some of them would feel immense heartache after realizing how much they had spent.
Of course, she was more afraid that Song Shi would not be able to pay for the meal. That would be awkward.
They arrived at the Rainbow Building. The building that was more than a hundred feet tall was made of wood. Its color ranged from red to purple, and it was engraved with exquisite patterns of flowers, birds, insects, fish, and so on. To Song Shi, it was like an immortal building.
The Seven-colored Pavilion floated in the air, connected by a fiery red crystal staircase. A beautiful maid with a graceful figure was waiting. When she saw them approaching, one of the maids welcomed them.
"Saints, welcome to the Seven-colored Tower. I'm the maid, Xiao Qiao. Please follow me."
The pretty maids welcomed them warmly and respectfully. In their Seven-colored Tower, a Void Refinement Realm True Sage was considered a rather honorable guest.
Huo Yan had obviously been here many times. She said with a calm expression, "This handsome man is treating today."
"Take us to the top floor."
Song Shi said.
Xiao Qiao's red lips widened as she probed, "True Saint, the seventh floor might be a little expensive."
"Do I look like someone who lacks money?"
Song Shi was a little unhappy.
"No, please follow Xiao Qiao."
She did not dare to offend Song Shi and secretly sent a voice transmission to her superior.
Song Shi admired the Rainbow Pavilion and nodded. "This building looks good."
"The first level is built entirely from ten-thousand-year-old Wutong Trees. Other than the Vermilion Bird Tribe and the Fiery Phoenix Tribe, this is the only place."
Huo Yan was a little envious. "As for the other levels, they are not ordinary materials."
"No wonder it feels so good."
Song Shi touched the railing on the first floor and felt the Nomological power in his body become active. Clearly, this thing was beneficial to his cultivation.
If there was a chance, he could get some to sit down and cultivate. Song Shi thought about it and casually asked, "Miss Huo, do you have a family?"
"Yes. I have a lot of children and grandchildren. You shouldn't call me Miss."
Huo Yan said meaningfully.
"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Huo, what do you like to eat?"
Song Shi corrected himself.
"As long as it's not Vermilion Bird meat, I don't mind."
Huo Yan said generously and looked up. "I prefer the Golden Jade Dew and the Ten-Thousand Year Red Fruit here. They taste good and are quite affordable. Of course, if you want Jade Nectar, the Holy Jade Liquid will be better."
"There's no need to stand on ceremony with me. One portion of dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder for each person. And enough Jade nectar to be drunk on."
Song Shi waved his hand generously.
"Where did this bumpkin, boor, hillbilly come from? The clothes on your body are all condensed from Nomological power. You can't even afford decent clothes. What's there to show?"
When a guest standing on the fifth floor heard Song Shi's words, he immediately sneered with his back facing Song Shi.
"It's none of your business whether I can afford it or not. Shut up!"
Song Shi hated such arrogant fellows the most.
"Oh, I'm doing this for your own good. You can't even afford clothes. What are you doing on the seventh floor? Are you being humiliated? Or do you want to dine and dash?"
The mocking fellow turned his head, revealing a forehead with green dragon patterns between his eyebrows. He looked young, and his eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain.
"I think you really need a beating."
Song Shi's hands were itchy and he really wanted to beat someone up.
Huo Yan pulled Song Shi. "Ignore him. This guy is from the Green Dragon Race. He's naturally unhappy that you're eating dragon meat."
Song Shi was amused and came to a realization. "So he's an ingredient."
"What did you say?"
Yan Donghao's gaze turned cold.
"The three of you are the distinguished guests of the Vermilion Bird Rainbow Tower. Please don't make a fuss lest it affects your mood to enjoy the delicacies."
A middle-aged man appeared out of thin air between the two of them, blocking Yan Donghao's angry gaze. He smiled and gestured to Song Shi and Huo Yan to lead the way. "Please."
Song Shi noted down Yan Donghao. If he encountered him again, he did not mind tasting the taste of green dragon meat for free.
"Hmph, on account of Shopkeeper He, I won't waste my breath on this person. However, you have to be careful that he can't afford to pay the spirit stones."
Yan Donghao said sarcastically from behind.
Shopkeeper He smiled awkwardly. He was really worried that Song Shi would not be able to afford the meal, but he could not say it out loud.
Song Shi was displeased. This fellow was really looking for food. Did he really think that he did not dare to eat him?
He was not interested in talking, nor could he make a move. He secretly drew ten consecutive rounds.
Apart from the lottery, he really had nothing to pay for the meal. He couldn't take out the Demon Race's things, right?
Ding… congratulations on drawing the Profound Heaven Dragon Slaying Saber.
Upon hearing the first notification, the corners of Song Shi's mouth twitched. This thing came at the right time. It was very suitable to kill this fellow and eat its meat.
Unfortunately, he could not make a move here. He could only wait and see if there was a chance in the future.
Ding… congratulations on drawing one thousand top quality spirit stones.
Song Shi was delighted. He had drawn the Black Spirit Realm's hard currency, and it was top-grade too!
According to the exchange ratio of 1:100, it was equivalent to 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Ding… congratulations on obtaining high-grade sacred medicine…
In the notification, Shopkeeper He led Song Shi around a corner and avoided Yan Donghao. He smiled and said, "Esteemed guest, you came from the Black Tortoise Palace, right? I have many friends there. I haven't been there for a long time. Cross-border Teleportation is indeed a little expensive."
"How expensive?"
Song Shi looked at Huo Yan. This was the second time he had heard of this.
"If it's not for official business, a one-way trip would cost one hundred thousand high-grade Spiritual Stones, which is equivalent to one billion low-grade Spiritual Stones. It's enough to drink ten pots of Jade Nectar and Sacred Jade Nectar, and eat dragon liver."
Huo Yan sighed.
"Shopkeeper, please give us ten pots of Jade Nectar and Saint Jade Nectar each, a portion of dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, and a few plates of various spirit fruits. The rest can be ordered while eating."
Song Shi's appetite was already piqued. He started ordering even before he reached the seventh floor.
"There's no hurry. The dragon liver and phoenix eyes need some time to be prepared. The two of you should eat some spiritual fruits and drink some nectar first."
Shopkeeper He smiled and brought Song Shi to the seventh pavilion. This place was sparkling with purple light and carried a noble and elegant aura. Looking out, the view was good. It could sweep through most of the Rainbow Realm with a single glance. The sky was filled with colorful lights, and the scenery could be said to be peerless.
"Don't patronize me. These are prepaid spirit stones. Don't think that I can't afford them."
Song Shi casually threw out all the spirit stones he had just drawn. The brilliant light emitted by the top-grade spirit stones lit up the entire pavilion.
Huo Yan was shocked. "A supreme-grade spirit stone!"
