Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4654  Fortune Dragon City

There were fierce beasts in the mountains, and this was something that everyone knew. Moreover, Li Yun was only an Enlightenment Tier. What if they encountered a Mystery Realm Tier-level or even Celestial Path-level fierce beast?

The only fate would be death.

Thus, Li Yun didnʼt dare to lead the two of them in a straight path at all. Instead, they circled around the mountains, fearing that they would encounter powerful ferocious beasts deep in the mountains, and never return.

This naturally depressed Ling Han. As long as this Li Yun was braver, he was completely capable of releasing the slightest bit of his aura, and have the wild beasts avoid them.

Sigh, then heʼll just take things slowly.

At night, the three of them took turns keeping watch.

Ling Han discovered that when it was Zhao Jianʼs turn to keep watch, he had repeatedly revealed killing intent, but the latter was still a fourteen to fifteen year old young man, after all, and could not make up his mind. Thus, he had not made a move all this while.

Ling Han didnʼt take it to heart, and pretended not to see it.

After a whole nine days, they finally walked out of the great mountain, and a vast great city appeared ahead of them.

”So this is the Fortune Dragon City?” Zhao Jian murmured. This city stretched over 50 km, and the majestic structures were even more than three hundred meters tall. To a village youth, this was naturally an incredibly shocking scene.

Li Yun couldnʼt help but reveal a hint of pride and disdain. What a country bumpkin!

And this was only outside the city. If you entered into the city, and saw that endless golden wall of glory, wouldnʼt your eyes pop out in shock?

However, why was only one person shocked?

He looked at Ling Han, and felt that this young man was really incredibly calm, as if he was already used to seeing such things.

Good willpower! Good temperament!

Li Yunʼs opinion of Ling Han instantly rose a few notches higher. They had both just arrived, yet Ling Hanʼs expression was as calm as could be. In comparison, the difference between them was obvious.

He was even more certain of his own judgement. Ling Hanʼs future was brighter than Zhao Jianʼs.

He definitely had to cling to this powerful backer. In future, he would definitely be able to obtain benefits.

The three of them set out, heading towards the city.

There was a city restriction in the Fortune Dragon City. If one was not registered as a resident of the city, they would only be able to obtain a temporary residence permit, and could stay for three days, five days, ten days, and so on, depending on the purpose of entering into the city that was expressed when they had registered their residence permit.

If he didnʼt leave the city before the time limit expired, that would be a serious crime. If he was caught, he would be severely punished.

For Ling Han and Zhao Jian, they would first get a temporary residence permit for three days, and after they passed the examination of the Martial Hall, they would change to a long-term residence permit. In fact, it was even possible that they could obtain a citizenship permit.

If he obtained a citizenship permit, he would be a citizen of the city. If this was a village, this would be considered bringing glory to his ancestors. He would be outstanding.

Li Yun registered permits for them, then the three of them entered into the city. On the way, Zhao Jian couldnʼt help but exclaim in shock.

Everything in the city widened his horizons, especially when he walked past the brothels. Those scantily clad girls were all making a show of themselves there, which made Zhao Jian, a young man who had just experienced the first awakening of love, extremely excited. He almost spluttered out a nosebleed.

At this moment, the girl that the youth had once adored immediately vanished without a trace.

That had only been the ignorant first love of a young man, and was not unforgettable. Now that he had suffered such a huge impact, it immediately crumbled and crumbled.

As it turned out, there were actually so many beautiful young ladies in this world. As it turned out, women could also be so enchanting and captivating.

He was reluctant to leave, and even his steps slowed.

Li Yun smiled, and pulled the youth along with him.

He knew that as long as this young man worked hard on cultivation, in future, to say nothing of women in this kind of brothel, even the daughters of prestigious clans would throw themselves at him.

Very soon, the three of them arrived at the Martial Hall.

”So big!” Zhao Jian couldnʼt help but blurt out. Merely the area encircled by the Martial Hallʼs walls was larger than their entire village, and the whitewashed walls were spotless, making him exclaim that there was actually such a clean place in this world.

Led by Li Yun, the three of them entered into the Martial Hall. First, he settled Ling Han and Zhao Jian down. Then, Li Yun went to make his report. Within three days, there would be a second test for Ling Han and Zhao Jian, to ensure that Li Yun had not accepted bribery from the two of them and helped them cheat.

Only two days later, the two of them were brought for another test, and in these two days, Zhao Jian did not even dare to step out of his rooms, fearing that he would break the rules, and be kicked back into the village.

Having just witnessed true prosperity, how could he be willing to return to that backward, poor place?

Ling Han and Zhao Jian werenʼt the only ones who were undergoing the test today. There were seven other youths. Naturally, they had just been brought over from a village as well. All of them were extremely careful, not even daring to breathe loudly.

”Donʼt be nervous. As long as you can pass the test, youʼre a disciple of our Martial Hall,” a middle-aged man walked out and said to the youths with a smile.

This caused the youths to regain their composure. Then, the test began.

Because they knew that there would be a second test like this, the people who went to the villages to conduct the recruitment test naturally did not dare to do anything untoward. Thus, the results of everyoneʼs test were the same as the first time — except for Ling Han.

As Li Yun watched, he kept having a feeling that this light, tsk, was slightly different in brightness.

It was an illusion, it must be an illusion. How could it possibly be different? Hehe, he was really an idiot.

Among the nine candidates, Ling Hanʼs aptitude was the highest, followed by Zhao Jianʼs. The others were far inferior, and there was not even a single B grade among them.

Thus, Ling Han and Zhao Jian both received extremely good treatment, and were allocated a private room. Furthermore, they would be able to obtain a packet of medicinal bath ingredients every three days.

Another few days later, the recruitment work for the Martial Hall this year ended.

This time, a total of 27 new disciples had been recruited, and only three of them were female, which showed how much this world favored men over women.

At this time, the 27 people were all brought to the basement. There was an underground spring there, which turned into a large pool, and steam was bubbling from within.

”This is Earth Flame Spring Water, which is greatly beneficial for unblocking meridians and improving oneʼs physique,” a trainer of the Martial Hall said. ”You guys only have this one chance to enter the pool to absorb the benefits.”

”Thereʼs no time limit. However, once you come out, you wonʼt be able to enter again.”

”Thatʼs because you wonʼt be able to obtain any benefits even if you enter again.”

”Those who maintained the longest record in the pool stayed for a total of one and a half days.”

”Hehe, I wonder if any of you can break records.”

”Go into the water.”

He waved a hand dismissively.

There was another trainer beside him, and he said in a low voice with a smile, ”Have you given these brats a motivation talk again? You have to know that the record holder is presently one of the four great War Gods and Guardian Deities of our Buddhist Race!”

”Hehe, giving these brats a goal is what motivates them,” the first trainer said with a smile.

The youths were all young and impetuous, and none of them would submit easily. Immediately, a competitive spirit rose up in them, and they all walked into the hot spring.

Wasnʼt it just taking a bath? To say nothing of a day and a half, what was so difficult about taking a bath for ten days or even half a month?

However, when they stepped in, they almost immediately jumped out again.

Gods, it was too hot. Were they going to be cooked alive?

Hiss!

Only now did they know why the longest record was only one and a half days. This was really not a place for humans.
