Chapter 1774: Chapter 1774 No Feelings
After a while, the leader finally calmed down his emotions, and said to the martial practitioner, "Congratulations on passing the final test. My name is Zhang Wencai, and I am in charge of selecting martial practitioners!
Let’s go to the Prince’s City first to acquire our resources! You will be training with me for a while. If you can’t stand my style, feel free to leave at any time."
After finishing his words, Zhang Wencai signaled the crowd to follow him.
Then he asked Ye Liuyun, "What’s your name?"
"Ye Liuyun", Ye Liuyun replied with a respectful bow.
"Hmm! If you act again, be decisive. You could have knocked these wastes out a long time ago, why drag it on?!"
Without a backward glance, Zhang Wencai took the lead and walked out.
Ye Liuyun and the others paused for a moment, then followed him with smiles on their faces. They quite liked this supervisor’s style.
Ye Liuyun also guessed that this supervisor had been observing them all along. It wasn’t because he just returned from a meal.
Because after checking, the remaining people were exactly fifty. This indicated that Zhang Wencai was deliberately controlling the count.
The rest of the people had no choice but to follow behind them.
Afterward, the soldiers followed at the end of the line.
Prince Liang’s city was indeed much larger than any other city Ye Liuyun had seen before. There were mountains, water, buildings, and forests everywhere. Only through Conveyor Formation could different areas be reached quickly.
"This is the outer city, where the ordinary civilians live. Most of the army stationed in the Royal City is also here," Zhang Wencai explained as they walked.
Then he led them through a light door.
On the other side of the light gate, a different scenery awaited.
"This is the Inner City, also considered the true Royal City. Over there is the Commerce Association... and ahead is the Royal Palace!" Zhang Wencai continued to introduce them.
Ye Liuyun discovered that the Royal Palace, much like a city, was also divided into several layers. The innermost layer was protected by a formation that prevented Divine Sense from probing, presumably where the Royal Court members lived.
They were led to a dedicated residence in the farthest northwestern corner of the palace complex. Zhang Wencai first arranged accommodations for them, distributed standard uniforms, armor, and tokens for entering and exiting the Royal Palace.
"You should first dress according to the standard attire of the army soldiers. There’s no other unified uniform here. Also, you’ve already come this far which isn’t easy. If you fail to make the final selections and still live, you could at least serve in the Palace army." Zhang Wencai explained to them.
Upon hearing this, many of the martial practitioner breathed a sigh of relief. Some of them came here for this very reason, not necessarily to fight on the battlefield against foreign races.
Then, Zhang Wencai arranged their accommodations.
He further explained to everyone: "After you’ve been allocated your residences, wait there. Soon, resources for your practice will be delivered. You’ll have ten days to freely enter and exit the Royal Palace.
In ten days, I will lead you through the next round of training. To prepare you to survive better on the foreign race battlefield."
Next, everyone followed the guards to wait for accommodation allocation. Residences were divided into independent courtyards, five people per courtyard, with each person having their own space for cultivation.
Ye Liuyun and his group were arranged last, and the courtyard they were allocated was the most spacious.
Before they left, the guard in charge of the accommodation allocation asked Ye Liuyun and his group: "Mr. Zhang asked me to inquire about the type of Alora Crystals you need. Each of you can pick three, including your Black Panther. Ye Liuyun can choose five!"
"The Royal Palace is so generous, offering so many Alora Crystals?" Ye Liuyun couldn’t help asking.
"Not at all! Only you have this privilege. The rest get ordinary resources. Of course, you have a share of ordinary resources too," answered the guard.
"Then I want five Alora Crystals of the power of heaven and earth, and nothing else," Ye Liuyun replied directly.
Others, Ye Liuyun let them choose for themselves.
Manshu took two pieces of frost and one price of sword will Alora Crystal. Lei Ming took thunder, magic, and frost Alora Crystal. Dragon Lady took three fist intention Alora Crystals. Ye Tiandao took two sword intention Aloral Crystal. The Black Panther took three wind speed intention Alora Crystals.
The attendant noted down their selections and went back to report to Zhang Wencai.
Ye Liuyun’s group didn’t need separate rooms. Whenever they cultivated, they would return to Ye Liuyun’s Xuankong Stone to practice.
About half a day later, the attendant returned, presenting Ye Liuyun’s group with a Interspatial Ring.
Upon checking, they found not only the Alora Crystals they needed but also some divine crystals, elixirs, and other resources, neatly divided into five portions.
"Much appreciated," Ye Liuyun thanked the attendant.
The attendant glanced at Ye Liuyun’s group, nodded, and left their residence.
He had initially expected them to become very excited upon receiving the Alora Crystals, as anyone getting such a reward would be thrilled.
However, Ye Liuyun was unfazed by these small Alora Crystals.
When the attendant was reporting this to Zhang Wencai, he murmurously said, "That young man is used to it and doesn’t care! It won’t be easy to excite him in the future! Maybe I need to revise training plans!"
"Ah? He’s that rich?" The attendant was slightly puzzled.
"You have no idea. This young man has robbed quite the number of major forces! Although they are forces from outside the area, they have a lot of cultivation resources!" Zhang Wencai said with a smile.
"Is he that strong?" The attendant had some trouble believing that Ye Liuyun had such strength.
"Don’t underestimate him, he could kill you easily! His realm is well-hidden!" Zhang Wencai waved his hand at the attendant, rather not continue discussing it, pondering on the upcoming training plans instead.
Ye Liuyun and the others immediately collected all the resources and returned to the interior of the Xuankong Stone to cultivate.
Other martial practitioners also began to cultivate, while some went to the commercial association to exchange resources, then came back to continue cultivating. In short, no one dared to waste any time.
No one knew how cruel the next training would be, so everyone was doing their best to increase their strength.
Ye Liuyun felt that even though he had gone through numerous battles, the advance energy wasn’t enough. The condensation of the mystical yuan was insufficient, so he didn’t rush to break through the realm immediately, but continuously strengthened the power of heaven and earth instead.
Lei Ming and the others first comprehended the Alora Crystal.
Ye Liuyun and the others cultivated in the room for three days before leaving the royal mansion to head to the commercial association to exchange resources.
The Mystique Mart in the Royal City was a standalone three-story high building. Every floor was vast, and the products inside were quite comprehensive.
Ye Liuyun strolled around nonchalantly for a while, checking the prices. They were a bit lower than those in Tundraland, but still more expensive than in Golden Gate.
Ye Liuyun handed over the resources he wanted to exchange to the guide, who converted them all into divine crystals.
Then, he found a steward of the commercial association, and showed him the gold card.
The steward immediately led Ye Liuyun into a private room on the third floor, enthusiastically asking what Ye Liuyun needed.
