“Could you really take me to Lunarius Palace?” Jared scrutinized the goatee, disbelief evident in his gaze.
The man with the goatee stroked his beard, saying with an air of confidence, “Of course. I’ve spent my whole life here. I know the way to Lunarius Palace like the back of my hand, and it’s completely safe. Let me be honest with you. I’m well-acquainted with an elder at Lunarius Palace. If you’re generous with your spiritual coin, I can even get you into the inner court without a hitch.”
“All right. Lead me to the inner court. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to meet the head of Lunarius Palace!”‘
After he finished speaking, Jared immediately pulled out a dozen purple spirit coins from his Storage Ring and tossed them to the man with a goatee.
“Purple spirit coins?” The man was stunned as he stared at the purple spirit coins in his hand.
It took quite a while before he could regain his senses. The moment he looked at Jared, his gaze transformed into an irresistible charm.
He hadn’t expected that Jared would turn out to be a wealthy tycoon, casually doling out dozens of purple spirit coins.
“Rest assured, Sir. I, Alastair, have spent my entire life here. I’ll certainly guide you to Lunarius Palace!” Swiftly, Alastair pocketed the purple spirit coins into his jacket, preparing to leave with Jared in tow.
“Alastair, you’re up to your old tricks again. How many times have I warned you?”
Just as Alastair was about to leave with Jared, a sudden delicate shout rang out.
A woman clad in green, wielding a magic sword, swiftly approached, her glare fixed fiercely on Alastair.
Upon seeing the woman, Alastair was instantly overcome with extreme awkwardness.
Quickly, Alastair shook his head and said, “Ms. Liemann, I assure you, I’m not scamming anyone. Please, don’t make a groundless accusation!”
“Hmph! I’ve been watching you for quite some time now. You’re always using Lunarius Palace as an excuse to deceive others. Don’t think for a second that I’m not aware of it.” Yuliya Liemann scoffed and turned her attention to Jared. “Sir, I’m in charge of the reception at Lunarius Palace. My name is Yuliya Liemann. Did this guy tell you that he could take you to Lunarius Palace and even get you inside for a fee?”
Jared gave a slight nod and turned his gaze to Alastair. His eyes held a flicker of anger. This guy is a fraudster!
“Don’t let yourself be fooled. If you wish to visit Lunarius Palace, you must register at the reception first. Only then can we guide you there. If you recklessly ventured up the mountain on your own, you wouldn’t be able to locate Lunarius Palace at all. Instead, you would find yourself in a predicament. The conditions here are harsh, and there are demon beasts lurking everywhere. If you really want to go to Lunarius Palace, then please line up to register.”
After Yuliya finished speaking, she glanced at Jared before quickly continuing, “However, you’re a Third Level Tribulator. I’m afraid you might not be able to visit Lunarius Palace this time. The minimum requirement for the registration for cultivators this time is to be at least a Fifth Level Tribulator. After all, this time the women from the outer circle are seeking partners to venture into the polar region with. You’ll die if your cultivation is too low.”
Upon hearing Yuliya’s words, Jared was genuinely taken aback. He hadn’t expected Lunarius Palace to be so uniquely different. They want to find a partner for their disciples from the outer circle residing in the palace, and there are even requirements for cultivation level! This is hardly a search for a partner. It is clear they are looking for an easy mark, someone to do the grunt work for Lunarius Palace for nothing in return!
Jared was just about to ask Yuliya if the head of Lunarius Palace was present. He was hoping to establish a connection and see if he could gain entry into Lunarius Palace.
Before Jared could even speak, a wave of commotion swept through the waiting crowd.
“Who do you think you are? We’ve been lining up for ages. How dare you cut in line?”
“What on earth is this? Is Lunarius Palace not doing anything to manage this?”
“I’ve been waiting in line for ages. No one’s allowed to cut in!”
People in the queue began to voice their dissatisfaction loudly.
Yuliya’s brows furrowed, her face taking on a displeased expression. It seemed that line- cutting was a frequent occurrence there.
