Traveling with a precious treasure, the three of them arrived at the Resource Exchange City in the No. 12 Void Region of the Yuling Star Domain within a few hours.
Before reaching the Resource Exchange City, Mo Tianxiao put away the precious treasure to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As soon as they arrived at the towering city gate, Mo Tianxiao and the other two saw a long queue at the city gate.
"Senior, you need an identity token to enter the Resource Exchange City. That is the token the Yuling Clan gave you before," Tang Jin explained to Mo Tianxiao. "If you lose the identity token, it will be very troublesome in the Void Region. It costs fifty origin stones to get a new one."
Mo Tianxiao glanced at the token Liya gave him. His name, Li Yu, was engraved on it, and the words "Spiritual Qi Continent" were written on the back.
Feeling the power fluctuations within the token, which was a power even more profound than the Saint Origin Power, Mo Tianxiao was a bit curious. "Is this thing made of origin stones?"
Tang Jin nodded. "Yes, it takes a whole origin stone to make such an identity token."
"Origin stones are so precious, and there are so many ascenders coming here every day in the Void Region. Is the Yuling Clan so generous to give out these tokens for free?"
"Err... Senior, you'll know later," Tang Jin said with a bitter smile on his face after hearing what Mo Tianxiao said.
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao quietly queued up and waited. The various alien races around him opened his eyes wide. There were alien races similar to goblins, and there were also creatures that were like bamboo poles, one section after another. They were as strange as they could be.
Previously, he always thought there was not much difference between alien races and demon races. But now, he could see that the difference was quite big. At least, he could tell at a glance which ones were demon races and which ones were alien races.
There were also quite a few demon races in this territory of the alien races. Due to their appearance, demon races got along much better in the territory of the alien races than humans. At least, they wouldn't be discriminated against by the alien races.
As for humans like Mo Tianxiao, their status was extremely awkward. Just during the short time of queuing, many alien races cast their glances at them from time to time, with mocking looks in their eyes, as if they were plotting something.
Tang Jin pulled Tang Shuang. He was already used to this. "Senior, don't pay attention to them. In the territory of the Resource Exchange City, they won't dare to cause trouble. Later, we'll just exchange the resources and leave quietly."
"Okay."
Mo Tianxiao naturally wouldn't care about the looks of these strange creatures. Looking around, the highest - level ones were only at the quasi - Dao - Master realm. Such beings were not enough to make him worried.
Half an hour later, it was finally Mo Tianxiao's turn. The two alien races guarding the city gate had rough skin, were tall and burly, nearly five meters in height, which was extremely imposing. Their whole heads were covered with eyes instead of other organs.
The Hundred - eyed Clan, which could observe the surrounding situation from all angles without blind spots, were good at gate - keeping.
The two Hundred - eyed Clan members didn't even look down and said, "Show your identity tokens."
Mo Tianxiao and the other two took out their tokens. The Hundred - eyed Clan had amazing memories. Seeing Mo Tianxiao's identity information, they knew he was a newly ascended cultivator and it was his first time in the exchange city. So they said:
"Human cultivator, it costs two origin stones to enter the city. And for every twelve hours you stay, you need to pay an additional origin stone."
"Wait a minute. It used to be one origin stone. Why is it two now? And it was supposed to be an extra origin stone for every twenty - four hours of stay," Tang Jin, who was about to pay, was stunned and immediately questioned.
He didn't want to be ripped off for a few more origin stones for no reason.
The two Hundred - eyed Clan members' eyes turned cold. "This is the price for humans. If you don't want to enter, just leave. If you keep wasting our time, don't blame us for being rude."
Hearing this, Tang Jin fell silent and had to obediently hand over six origin stones. The guards of the Resource Exchange City were the only cultivators besides the Yuling Clan who had the right to take action in this area.
They could warn cultivators who hindered their work. If the situation was serious, they could even kill those who caused trouble on the spot.
As for what was considered a serious situation, it was up to them to decide. Did not paying count as a serious situation? If the guards said it did, then it did. Their power was that great.
It could be said that in the Void Region, besides the Yuling Clan, the Hundred - eyed Clan guarding the city gate of the Resource Exchange City had the most say.
The two Hundred - eyed Clan members took the origin stones and also took the three identity tokens. Mo Tianxiao thought it was a normal procedure and didn't care, while Tang Jin beside him changed his expression slightly but could only force a smile.
"Two gentlemen, here are three more origin stones as an extra tribute to you. Regarding these identity tokens..." Tang Jin quickly took out three more origin stones and said with a smile.
"Three origin stones?"
The Hundred - eyed Clan members lowered their gazes. The eyes all over their heads made Tang Jin shiver.
"Three origin stones. How can we divide it? It costs one hundred and fifty origin stones to make three identity tokens. We won't make things difficult for you. Give us one hundred origin stones, and I'll return the identity tokens to you. Otherwise..."
Saying that, the two Hundred - eyed Clan members were about to crush the three identity tokens.
Seeing this, Tang Jin gritted his teeth and took out one hundred origin stones from his spatial ring and handed them to the two Hundred - eyed Clan members. "Two gentlemen! One hundred origin stones!"
"Not bad, you're sensible," the two Hundred - eyed Clan members glanced at each other, a sly look flashing in their eyes. They took the one hundred origin stones from Tang Jin's hand. Then, the identity tokens in their hands slipped out and accidentally fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a big foot stepped on them.
"Crash!"
The three identity tokens shattered into pieces.
"Oops, I accidentally slipped my hand. Sorry. You'd better go to the guards to get a new identity token. It's not expensive, only fifty origin stones for one."
The two Hundred - eyed Clan members looked down at Mo Tianxiao and the others, hoping to see humiliation and anger in their eyes.
"Hahaha! These stinky humans have been tricked by the two gentlemen again. Look at their expressions. Are they about to cry!"
"How pitiful. But it's their own fault for being human. After ascending to our territory, it's normal to suffer a bit. They should just learn to endure. Don't humans have an old saying that taking a loss is a blessing? It's better than being dead."
The alien races queuing around mercilessly mocked the three of them.
There were also some human cultivators looking at them with pity in their eyes. They felt sorry for them but didn't dare to step forward to speak for them. Humans had no say in this place. It was extremely difficult for them to survive.
They couldn't even take care of themselves, so how could they help their fellow humans?
Looking at the mocking looks of the many alien races around and the teasing looks of the two Hundred - eyed Clan members, Tang Jin clenched his fists so tightly that his hands were almost bleeding. But he could only force a smile on his face. "It's okay. We'll just get a new identity token."
Tang Shuang hid behind Tang Jin and didn't even dare to show her head.
Mo Tianxiao remained expressionless, but he sighed inwardly.
In the territory of the alien races, humans were really reduced to being oppressed. Even in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Yuling Clan, it was like this. One could imagine that in other territories of the alien races, did humans still have a space to survive?
"Get in!" the two Hundred - eyed Clan members said, allowing the three of them to enter.
Upon hearing this, Tang Jin forced a stiff smile, pulled Tang Shuang along, and whispered to Mo Tianxiao, "Senior, please don't act rashly. Let's go inside first." The cultivation bases of the two gatekeepers were only at the quasi-Palm Dao Realm. Naturally, they were no match for Mo Tianxiao. However, if one dared to attack the gatekeepers here, it was almost a dead end and would surely attract the guards. Tang Jin didn't want to die here in vain.

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart?
