It was a long journey from Luyang Mansion to Donglai City, the capital of Donglai County, and it was not easy. If it rains and the roads are muddy, it will be difficult for the team to travel dozens of miles in a day.
A month later.
The convoy of more than ten carriages and many soldiers from Luyang Prefecture arrived more than ten miles outside the city of Donglai County. On the wide stone road outside Donglai City, the road is full of large and small motorcades, travelers, or businessmen in a hurry.
Occasionally, you can see a few warriors riding powerful and tall ferocious beasts passing by, and the business travelers on the road have taken the initiative to avoid them. In the Shenwu Continent, where the strong are respected, high-level divine warriors are more and more respected.
The huge city wall of Donglai City gradually appeared in front, with arrow towers standing on top of the city that was ten feet high. The city gate entering the city is ten times taller and grander than Luyang City.
There are rows of city guards standing on the city walls and arrow towers, wearing armor and holding crossbows and swords. They are full of killing aura. They are obviously a group of elite soldiers.
Ye Fan looked curiously at the head of Donglai City from the carriage window, and couldn't help showing a look of shock: "The guards of Donglai City are so murderous! Their cultivation seems to be in the middle to late stage of warriors or above... It's much better than Luyang City!"
"This Donglai City is an important coastal city of Canglan Kingdom, the gateway to the sea. The soldiers here fight against sea beasts almost every year. They are a group of veterans with rich combat experience. They are definitely better than those in Luyang City who have not fought in hundreds of years. The soldiers are much stronger."
Mu Bing smiled.
She has been to Donglai City, seen it before, and has long been accustomed to strange things.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the West City Gate.
"Customs clearance ultimatum!"
A young guard from Donglai City stopped the convoy.
Ye Fan showed a customs clearance document from the Lord's Mansion of Luyang City.
Seeing that the young general saw the customs clearance document signed by the Lord's Palace of Luyang City in Ye Fan's hand, he did not dare to make things difficult. After confirming his identity, he let them enter the city.
The soldiers of Luyang City escorted them to Donglai City, and then went to the barracks to report.
Ye Fan and his party entered Donglai City and first stayed at a rather luxurious Donglai Inn.
In this inn, one person has one room, and the monthly rent is one hundred taels of silver.
But for them, a group of young warriors who are rich and noble, and are descendants of the big family of Luyang Mansion, it is nothing.
Afterwards, everyone wandered around Donglai City to get familiar with the environment here.
On the lively and bustling streets of Donglai City, there are numerous weapon shops and armor shops on both sides. There are many types of thick leather armor, iron armor, and gold-plated armor.
As for drug stores, grocery stores, restaurants, etc., they are countless. On the streets, there are many small vendors selling all kinds of seafood treasures.
"Ah, what a beautiful pearl!"
Qin Yu'er suddenly saw a vendor displaying a pearl that was round and bigger than her thumb, and couldn't help but scream in surprise. She had never seen such a big pearl in Luyang Mansion.
"Miss, you have such a good eye. These are blue water pearls that are a specialty of the East China Sea. They were fished out from the deep sea hundreds of feet away. Each pearl costs one thousand taels of silver."
The stall owner said.
"This is too expensive! Although it is beautiful, it is of no use."
When Qin Yuer heard this, he was immediately discouraged and put it back. She only has tens of thousands of taels of silver with her now. If she buys things randomly, she will spend it all in a few times.
There are also people selling mysterious weapons in the street shops, but not warriors like them can use them.
Sun Zaoli's eyes lit up. There were surprisingly many kinds of goods here, shipped from other vassal states and obtained from sea adventures. There were countless goods. It was simply a paradise for merchants.
Everyone walked to the central square of Donglai City and saw a martial arts fighting arena called Tianyi Pavilion. Many warriors openly challenged martial arts here, and thousands of warriors gathered around to watch the excitement all day long.
But after watching it for a while, they didn't have much interest. They couldn't get enough of fighting at the warrior level. But masters at the martial arts level rarely take action here.
They are all a group of young warriors who are very interested in seeing novel things. I spent a whole day shopping with great interest and visited various scenic spots in Dongnae City.
Outside the east gate of Donglai City, there is a large harbor with hundreds of tall ships moored in the harbor. Ships enter and exit the port almost every moment, which amazes them.
It was not until late at night that a group of young warriors from Luyang City returned to Donglai Inn to rest.
"Everyone! Now that we have arrived in Donglai County, we must focus on cultivation! We have played all day today, and after tomorrow, we must hurry up and practice. We are the most outstanding young warriors in Luyang Palace, and we cannot embarrass Luyang Palace."
Gu Hanjian said sternly.
"Yes, senior brother!"
Everyone said goodbye to each other and went back to their rooms.
They all know that such free time is probably only available for this day.
After today, it will be very busy. Or focus on practicing martial arts and strive to break through to the realm of martial arts. Or you can find some work such as refining medicine or weapons in Donglai County and do it first, making money while practicing, so as not to sit back and have nothing.
Except for Ye Fan who has become a Martial Master, the rest of them still need to continue their later training as warriors and strive to awaken their bloodline as soon as possible.
...
In a wing of the Donglai Inn, there was a glass lamp on the table, and the red candlelight on the lamp was flickering.
Ye Fan returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed. Although it was the first day I came to Donglai City, I felt an invisible and huge pressure.
In this huge Donglai City, even a Martial Lord is not a big shot.
As one of the most attractive cities in the Canglan Kingdom and the only large-scale seaport city, the extremely prosperous Donglai City has gathered almost the most talented group of late-stage warrior masters and warrior-level figures.
Everyone wandered around the city during the day to get familiar with Donglai City, but Ye Fan had no intention of having fun.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the county court to sign up, then look for vitality skills, and pay close attention to the cultivation of Wu Zunqi. These three things need to be paid close attention to, and other things will be looked at later."
Ye Fan was thinking about several important things he wanted to do.
The cold energy he had before turned ice into fists and ice into arrows. These are the most primitive uses of ice energy. They are obviously too low-level and have limited power. Need to learn real vitality skills.
Also, we must pay close attention to the improvement of the realm of Wu Zunqi.
After joining the County Court, the training of the Martial Master Stage will officially begin. The realm of martial master is just a small beginning of martial arts, and it is still far from the highest peak of Shenwu Dao.
Throughout the Martial Master Stage, there are a total of seven bloodlines that need to be awakened. Only after awakening all seven bloodlines and gaining the huge vitality of the seven bloodlines can one reach the peak of Martial Lord.
Ye Fan quickly sorted out his thoughts and asked Shang in his consciousness: "Shang, do you have any suggestions for vitality skills?"
"Your remaining six bloodlines have not yet awakened, and I don't know which system you are ultimately suitable for cultivating. The one you are currently awakening is the ice system, so you can only find a few ice system vitality skills to practice first."
Shang pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "Ice element energy skills are very complex, and there are no less than thousands of subdivided types, not to mention the specific ice element runes, which are as vast as smoke. In the warrior stage, because you had only practiced the "Basic Three", I directly suggested that you practice the elementary "Three Flash" runes and the high-level "Phantom Technique" runes, so that you can obtain the strongest power in the shortest time. Combat power. But now at the Wu Zun stage, you have not yet started practicing vitality skills. I don't know what is most suitable for you at the moment. I suggest you first look for some ice rune books to see what types of vitality skills you are interested in. To I will give you more detailed advice when the time comes."
Among the billions of pages of its divine book, there are countless ancient books recorded since the age of ancient gods. But because the records are so numerous and there are all kinds of books, I don't know where to start. It needs a good search.
"Okay, let me see for myself first!"
Ye Fan also understood this and nodded slightly.
As a martial master, he only has a lifespan of one hundred and fifty years. There are many categories of ice-based vitality skills, but he has limited time and can only choose one or two ice-based martial arts.
Moreover, after other bloodlines awaken, you may find that your own ice bloodline is not the best. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to modify the vitality skill runes of other departments.
Ye Fan stopped thinking about it and turned off the lights and went to sleep.
...
The next day.
Ye Fan got up early in the morning and walked to the most famous Donglai County Courtyard in Donglai City to report.
Donglai County Academy is the only high-level martial arts academy in Donglai County with martial arts as its students. It is famous in Donglai County and is the holy land of martial arts that all martial arts students most yearn for.
Different organizations are responsible for each of the nine major professions in Shenwu Continent.
The Holy Martial Hall and the martial arts schools at all levels below it are directly responsible for inheriting the martial arts system, which is the first of the nine major professions.
The Zixuan Dynasty and the royal families of eight hundred princes are responsible for inheriting the city lord line. Emperor Zixuan can ennoble eight hundred princes and kings, and eight hundred princes can ennoble the lords of various prefectures and cities and the lords of various prefectures and cities.
The Temple of Sacrifice is responsible for the inheritance of the sacrificial system. The number of people in the sacrificial system is extremely small, but its reputation and influence are unparalleled.
The six major guilds of Shenwu are responsible for inheriting the remaining six lines among the nine lines.
For all warriors who want to achieve success in martial arts, the county courtyard is the place they most desire to enter.
These days, it is the beginning of school at Donglai County College.
Ye Fan arrived at the Donglai County Courtyard and saw that there were luxury carriages parked near the gate of the County Courtyard. The carriages wore various family flags, indicating that they were from major cities in the county.
In the county courtyard, under an office loft, there is a registration point.
A gray-haired old priest, with a serious face, was verifying the identities of the county students entering the school and registering them one by one.
Most of the people who signed up were martial arts masters, and a few were warriors.
Of course, warriors do not enter the county courtyard according to normal procedures, they are basically "specially recruited".
Either the county college provides "preferential admission quotas" to various prefectural cities to support local martial arts students in small cities. Either it was recommended by a big shot with a profound background, and Dongnae County Court had to accept it. Every year, there are always some low-level warriors who sneak into Donglai County Courtyard through various channels.
Seeing this, Ye Fan also stepped forward to line up.
The students from all the counties lined up to take advantage of this opportunity to make friends and chat with each other.
"I am Li Xia from Qingfeng City. This brother has a great surname?!"
"It turns out to be Brother Li from Qingfeng City. The Li family has heard about it for a long time. In Qintian, the ancient city of Xiahuan, this brother is very polite!"
"Ah, I have long admired your name, Brother Qin Tian is so polite!"
Everyone was shouting at each other and being polite. As for whether they have really "heard about it and admired the name for a long time", only they themselves know.
They are all martial arts masters, geniuses from all over the world, and they are naturally arrogant. Moreover, there are many of them who are very famous among the Martial Lords. They are arrogant and arrogant and will not really admire others.
Soon, it was Ye Fan's turn.
"Last name, age, origin!"
The white-haired old teacher asked, holding a pen.
"Luyang Mansion, Ye Fan!"
Ye Fan immediately handed over the special recruitment admission notice in his hand. This is the special recruitment quota given to Luyang Prefecture by Donglai County Court, a blank admission form, and his name was filled in by himself.
"Luyang Mansion's special enrollment? We just recruited a few special enrollments, and another special enrollment has been squeezed in. Sooner or later, the reputation of Donglai County Court will be destroyed in the hands of you losers!"
The white-haired old instructor glanced at the admission letter for special recruitment without raising his head, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
