As soon as he saw the Northern Asgard City, Tang Yin was stunned by what he was seeing.
It was an immensely large city, the largest he had seen so far in this world.
In fact, it was as big as many cities he saw when he was in his world.
But that wasn't what surprised him.
The size is the least of it.
It could never compare to the Celestial City that was once under his stewardship. The point is...
The beautiful infrastructure!
The buildings were large, with beautifully decorated windows and a very good choice of colors. Even though it was a Frozen City, it looked extremely lively.
The buildings he managed to see in the distance were beautiful enough to amaze him.
Even in his world, such a work of art was not common.
During his life before he died and during his travels, only saw a few cities in his world that could compare to this one.
In addition, in the distance, it could be seen that two immense rivers were entering from different regions. One from the east and the other from the west, these rivers did not freeze even though snow was falling almost all the time.
The snow would fall into the water, and small snowflakes would form and then melt and turn into liquid spiritual energy, but mysteriously, the river never overflowed.
It was a complete river of liquid spiritual energy!
'Unbelievable, do they really have this kind of mechanism in this world?' He thought in amazement when he saw this.
Both rivers crossed practically the entire city and then joined at one point, flowing into a huge lake that was in the center of the city.
The lake is guarded by strong cultivators all the time, and is normally used for the cultivators of the Ice Divine Sect to go down to cultivate there. In fact, according to Liao Ben, this lake is occasionally used as one of the tests to enter the Ice Divine Sect, but he did not know why.
To Tang Yin, the reason was quite obvious. Such a large lake made of spiritual energy is a difficult test for any cultivator to pass.
Even more, if the spiritual energy is as pure as this.
On the other hand, the Ice Divine Sect was behind the city but above the mountains.
Tang Yin could not see it, it was hidden and on top of huge mountains.
Still, this beautiful infrastructure had amazed him.
Once he arrived in the city and got off the flying boat, he noticed many strong cultivators walking around, although there were also ordinary citizens. This time he was surprised by the order in this place.
'A city truly worthy of admiration, huh.' Tang Yin thought with a smile and then looked at Liao Ben.
"Mr. Liao, will you stay in the city for a while?" Tang Yin asked, but Liao Ben shook his head.
"I seldom go out this far, my wife must be worried. I have to hurry back for that." Liao Ben said, and Tang Yin nodded to him.
"Young Master Tang, I hope you take care of yourself and can recover. Have a good trip and try to stay out of trouble, in this city trouble is dealt with a heavy hand. I hope to see you again before I die." Liao Ben said as he patted Tang Yin's shoulder with a smile.
Tang Yin nodded at him.
"Hahaha, Mr. Liao, don't lose hope. You will surely live for a long time. I hope to see you again and eat the delicious food they make in your restaurant; I wish you good luck." Tang Yin said and took out some money cards.
"Here, so you can expand your restaurant more, and maybe when I see you again you will have something more delicious." Tang Yin said, and put the cards in his hand, then turned around.
"See you later, Mr. Liao." He said with a smile as he said goodbye and left.
Liao Ben was a little dazed, but he said goodbye too, and when he saw the money cards, he felt dazed for a long time...
...
After enjoying the city, Tang Yin was anxious.
He was in the city that might be his last tour in this world before he could cultivate again.
He didn't want to waste time even when he wanted to visit more places in the city, so he headed straight to the Alchemist Association.
'In this city, the powers are quite impressive...' Tang Yin thought in a daze after seeing quite a few powerful people walking around.
Therefore, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he put on a dark robe that covered him quite a bit along with a black mask, and entered the alchemists' association.
After entering, he walked to one of the empty reception areas, and a lady came out to attend him.
"Sir, may I ask what you want? Buy? Sell? Whatever you wish, please tell me and I will make sure to serve you properly." She said professionally, and Tang Yin took out the token that Xie Meiyu had given him earlier and passed it to the lady.
The lady looked at it for a moment with some surprise and then looked at Tang Yin.
'One of the low-level elders?' She thought doubtfully but looked at the token again.
'This token... It has something different, but it certainly belongs to a low-level elder... Why doesn't he have cultivation?' She thought with doubt, but if he had this token, she must treat him with respect, so she smiled.
"Elder, follow me this way please." She said and then started directing Tang Yin to the second floor, and then the third floor.
"Elder, may I ask what empire you come from? What branch of the association do you belong to? This token looks familiar, but I don't understand why." She said as she looked at Tang Yin and walked around the third floor of this place.
Tang Yin, this time, did not tell a lie.
"I come from the Southern Region, but when I was passing through the East, I met an acquaintance and she gave me this token because I lost mine due to various problems I went through." Tang Yin replied, and the lady was surprised and looked at him.
"May I ask you what that person's name is?"
"Her name is Xie Meiyu." Tang Yin answered her question, and she was even more surprised.
"Miss Xie? I see... That's why it looked familiar." She said and smiled at him.
"Then please follow me to the top floor. I thought you were a low-level Elder and that's why I brought you to the third floor, but it doesn't go according to the status of the Miss's token." She answered sincerely and then started directing him to the top floor.
Tang Yin was quite surprised by the fact that Xie Meiyu is known even here. He began to wonder what her actual status might be.
"Is she in this place?" Tang Yin asked.
The lady in front of him shook her head.
"I don't know, normally people of her status don't enter through the door where customers enter and I'm a small receptionist, I don't have the status to see her." She replied with an embarrassed smile, and Tang Yin then nodded.
Thus, they both walked to the top floor.
There were few rooms on the top floor, and normally, the receptionist would not have the opportunity to come in here, so this was the first time she had come. She knew very well what she was supposed to do, though.
"May I ask your name and what you come for?" she asked.
"Tang Yin, I came to buy some expensive things." He replied.
She nodded and spoke to the person at the reception desk on this floor.
"Miss, excuse me. This person is called Tang Yin and uses Miss Xie's token. He is here to buy some things, I brought him all the way here because of his status." She said, and the lady at the front desk looked up and looked at Tang Yin a little.
Then she asked for the token and looked at it for a moment.
She was a little surprised to see that it was a special token, so she nodded with a smile.
"Please follow me." She said and stood up, then nodded to him and dismissed the person who had brought him here.
And so they both started walking all over the floor and then stopped in front of a room.
She opened the door and urged Tang Yin to enter after giving him the token.
"This person will attend to you properly." She said with a smile, Tang Yin could only nod.
'Having to go through two receptions to get here, shit, they won't make me go through a third reception, will they?' He thought helplessly, but still, he went inside and...
Inside was another reception.
'Shit, how many receptions does this have?' He thought, but just as he walked to the new reception and was about to talk to the lady sitting there, someone came out of the room behind.
A beautiful woman with beautiful long reddish-brown hair. That beautiful touch of maturity haunted her precious figure.
Just as she came out, they both stared at each other for a moment...
"Young Master Tang?" The beautiful woman in front of him asked, and Tang Yin smiled.
"Long time no see, Miss Xie. I didn't expect you to be here." He replied as he saw Xie Meiyu standing in front of him.
