Despite Tang Yigao's complicated problem, Ash opted to ignore it. There's no time to play a hero when he's no stronger than Star Rank Beast. All he needed to do now was to garner some profits!
With that in mind, Ash went with his way toward the City of Long River. And not so long after, he saw hundreds of tall pagodas soared to the sky, they stood solemnly with the golden moon in the background.
According to Lady Zhi, the City of Long River had five main gates which also served as the first checkpoint for any cultivator who wished to travel in the Western Region. To enter the city, he must pay around 1 Tael of gold coin.
As a token of gratitude from Lady Zhi, she gave him around 1,000 Tael of raw gold that she mined from her cave. The Queen of Arachnids could have mined the entire gold vein of her mountain and given everything to him. However, Ash politely rejected her offer since he didn't want to burden herself more than he needed to.
