The Imperial Capital, the power centre of the Jiang Kingdom and the most prosperous place in the country.
And it’s also the place where countless young people chase their dreams.
The cloud ship was getting closer and closer to the Imperial Capital, and the Imperial Capital was getting clearer and clearer in everyone’s sight.
Beside Ye Xuan, Lu Xiaoran suddenly said, “Little friend Ye Xuan, this Imperial Capital is a mix of dragons and snakes, so you have to do things in a smooth manner, or else, there might be a lot of trouble!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I don’t cause trouble!”
Lu Xiaoran shook his head and smiled, “It’s not that I’m afraid of you getting into trouble, but this place is really mixed up with dragons and snakes, even as the lord of a city, I have to be careful here, for fear of offending certain people that I shouldn’t have offended.”
Saying that, he looked towards Ye Xuan, “Little friend Ye Xuan, here, it’s not just about not getting into trouble, if you can, befriending more people will be of great benefit to you.”
Make friends!
Ye Xuan nodded, he naturally understood the benefits of having one more friend.
The cloud ship was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, looking from where he was now, he was already able to see what the imperial capital looked like, the imperial capital wasn’t very large, the population was around a million, and the city was also very old, it was obvious that it had already had a certain amount of history.
However, it was incomparably prosperous!
Before even getting close, in the surroundings of the Imperial Capital, there were countless cloud ships entering the Imperial Capital, and there were also many cloud ships sailing out from the Imperial Capital.
Ye Xuan looked at the scene in the sky and softly said, “So lively!”
Lu Xiaoran laughed, “It’ll be even more lively when we go in!”
Ye Xuan nodded, he was also a little curious about the Imperial Capital in front of him.
The cloud ship suddenly stopped when it was still almost a thousand feet away from the imperial capital, and then slowly descended, below the cloud ship was a huge river area, and in the middle of the river area, there were at least dozens of cloud ships parked, which was spectacular!
At this moment, a voice rang out in the field, “The Imperial Capital has arrived, please prepare to disembark all passengers!”
Ye Xuan turned around and returned to his room, seeing that Ye Ling was still awake, he didn’t wake her up, instead, he carried her on his back and went to the cloud ship’s deck.
Lu Xiaoran glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled, “Little friend Ye Xuan, let’s go to my mansion first!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Then I’m sorry to bother you.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the little fatty Lu Ming on the side instantly smiled with a big smile on his face, as he was already bored coming to the Imperial Capital alone, and now that he had two companions, he was naturally happy.
The cloud ship slowly descended, soon, the cloud ship smoothly stopped above the big river, a long ladder was erected at the edge of the cloud ship, countless people walked down from above the cloud ship.
After Ye Xuan carried his sister and walked off the cloud ship, he followed Lu Xiaoran towards the city gate not far away.
On the cloud boat, Han Xiangmeng looked at Ye Xuan’s back and said softly, “This Cang Mu Academy, I’m afraid it’s going to be uneventful.”
Beside Han Xiang Meng, an old man said in a deep voice, “Why doesn’t Miss show him favour?”
Cold Fragrant Dream shook her head, “I’ve already missed the best opportunity, going to befriend him now is just making a fool of myself.”
Saying that, she looked up towards the imperial capital in the distance and softly said; “The only way to have a glimmer of hope now is to join the Cang Mu Academy ……”
……
Under the gates of the Imperial Capital, Ye Xuan looked at the city gates in front of him, his heart was quite emotional, at this moment, he realised how small Qingcheng was, the gates of Qingcheng were not even a tenth of the size of the gates in front of him!
This was the real city, that place in Qingcheng was not even a city at all!
After entering the city gate, Ye Xuan’s first feeling is: big, at least twenty feet wide avenue under his feet, and the surrounding houses and buildings are staggered, without the slightest sense of clogging, it looks extremely comfortable; the second feeling is lively, the city of traffic, the sound of the people, if it is to speak a little quieter, for fear that it is difficult to hear.
At this time, Ye Ling also woke up.
Ye Ling looked around in awe, “Brother, this place is much more lively than our Qingcheng!”
Ye Xuan smiled, then looked at Lu Xiaoran, “Senior Lu, where is this Cang Mu Academy?”
Lu Xiaoran laughed, “Little friend don’t be in a hurry, this Cang Mu Academy still has about ten days to go before it starts recruiting, at this stage, the Cang Mu Academy is not open to the public, so there’s no point in you going there now. How about staying at my mansion first, and then recuperating for a few days, and then when you are well-prepared, you can go to the Cang Mu Academy with your canine son, how about that?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Naturally good!”
At
Lu Xiaoran’s lead, the group arrived at a mansion, which was very large and luxurious, which was normal, Lu Xiaoran was the lord of a city after all.
Lu Xiaoran arranged a separate courtyard for Ye Xuan’s siblings, and also arranged three maids, which made Ye Xuan a little embarrassed.
And after entering the courtyard, before half an hour had passed, Ye Ling was once again falling asleep again.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan’s heart immediately sank.
In a day of twelve hours, Ye Ling probably slept for nine of them!
This was definitely not normal!
After covering Ye Ling’s quilt, Ye Xuan exited the room and came into the courtyard.
Ten or so days had passed!
This Cang Mu Academy was now where his hopes lay.
However, he was still a little worried because he hadn’t reached the Royal Qi Realm right now, and the minimum requirement for the Cang Mu Academy to accept people was the Royal Qi Realm!
Seemingly thinking of something, he took out a white jade pendant, which was gifted to him by An Lan Xiu, if he really couldn’t do it then, he would have no choice but to use this jade pendant, even though he wanted to rely on his own strength to enter Cang Mu Academy!
Spirit Sword!
Ye Xuan knew that after entering Cang Mu Academy, he would have to start working on the matter of the spirit sword.
He was different from others, the only way to raise his realm was to go looking for spirit swords to devour, and spirit swords, how precious were they? Even if there was one, how expensive would it be? With his current worth, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to afford a hair!
It was only now that he Avray appreciated how difficult it was for ordinary people to cultivate!
Cultivation!
Ye Xuan entered the Boundary Prison Tower, he wasn’t practising against Shadow, the current Shadow was no longer a match for him at all, all he had to do now was to truly master the battle intent. For this nebulous Battle Intent, he hadn’t completely eaten through it!
Time passed very quickly, turning around there were less than two days left before the enrolment of the Cang Mu Academy.
Inside the Boundary Prison Tower, Ye Xuan’s fists were clenched tightly, and above his fists, an invisible force was constantly vibrating.
Battle Intent!
The current him didn’t need to rely on a sword to determine life and death in order to be able to fight against a Lingkong realm powerhouse, now he was able to fight against the Lingkong realm with this battle intent alone, however, whether he could win or not he didn’t know.
The only pity was that what he had comprehended wasn’t sword intent, otherwise, he would really have no pressure against a Sky Realm powerhouse right now!
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan left the Realm Prison Tower.
Because Lu Xiaoran came to their small courtyard, seeing Ye Xuan, Lu Xiaoran smiled and said, “Little friend can you get used to living here lately?”
Ye Xuan smiled, then said, “To be sincere, my sister and I haven’t lived in such a nice place!”
Lu Xiaoran laughed, “Little friend you can really make jokes, right, there is a banquet tonight, if little friend has time, you can bring your sister to go with me.”
“Banquet?”
Ye Xuan flinched, then asked, “What banquet?”
Lu Xiaoran laughed, “A banquet organised by the Grand Prince of the Imperial Capital, every time Cangmu Academy enrolls students, there will be geniuses from various parts of the Jiang Kingdom who will come to the Imperial Capital, for these geniuses, the Jiang Kingdom’s Royal Family naturally won’t take these geniuses lightly, thus His Majesty, the State Lord, will send an Imperial Prince to receive these geniuses for him.”
Ye Xuan pondered slightly, then said, “It shouldn’t be possible for anyone to attend, right?”
Lu Xiaoran nodded, “This is natural, only those with status and strength are qualified to attend this banquet, or rather, anyone who is able to attend this banquet is almost 100% able to enter the Cang Mu Academy, otherwise, the above would not have invited them.”
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly, “Senior, I didn’t receive an invitation!”
Lu Xiaoran said with a straight face, “Little friend, you can just go with me, as for invitations and whatnot, I’ll just invite you. If you can, it’s better to go there, those who are going are the geniuses and demons of the current session, if you can make friends with some of them, it’s also good for you, don’t you think?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded.
As Lu Xiaoran said, it would be good to be able to befriend some people, sword cultivators did not have to be alone. Moreover, he also wanted to take a look at the genius demons of the Jiang Country!
Lu Xiaoran nodded and smiled, “Then please prepare yourself, we will set off later!”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ye Xuan returned to his room, and at this time, Ye Ling also woke up.
Ye Xuan walked to Ye Ling, he gently rubbed her cheeks and softly said, “Don’t sleep later, brother will take you to feast!”
Ye Ling blinked, then smiled brightly, “Good!”
Ye Xuan gently scraped Ye Ling’s small nose, “Quickly go and wash your face, we’ll leave right away!”
Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoran led Ye Xuan’s siblings and a group of people out of the mansion, and soon, they arrived in front of a restaurant in the centre of the city.
Immortal Guest House!
The Immortal Guest House could be considered as the largest restaurant within the Imperial Capital, covering an area of nearly a thousand square metres, with a total of six floors, the outer layer of gold, extremely luxurious. And this restaurant was precisely the property of the Drunken Immortal Building.
Seeing this restaurant, Ye Xuan’s siblings were stunned.
Where had they seen such a large and luxurious restaurant?
Not to mention them, even Little Fatty Lu Ming was a bit shocked, there was no such large restaurant in Thousand Mountain City.
Seeing the trio’s expression, Lu Xiaoran laughed, “This is not the biggest, you guys will go out more in the future and see, you will realise that the world is so big that there is nothing strange about it!”
Ye Xuan nodded, for this point, he thought Avray!
It was fortunate that he had left Qingcheng, otherwise, he would have spent his entire life sitting in a well and watching the sky!
Lu Xiaoran led the three of them into the Immortal Guest House, and a woman with a pretty face immediately greeted them, “But City Lord Lu?”
Lu Xiaoran nodded his head.
The woman smiled sweetly, “There is still half an hour before the banquet, the Grand Prince has arranged some ‘entertainment’ activities for City Lord Lu, does City Lord Lu want to try?”
At those words, Lu Xiaoran’s old face slightly reddened, he hastily shook his head, “No need, take me to see the Grand Imperial Prince.”
The woman nodded and led Lu Xiaoran and Ye Xuan as they walked towards the upper floors, when they reached the fourth floor, Ye Xuan’s siblings were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The fourth floor was like a square, it was very big, bigger than their entire Ye Family, and inside, it was extremely luxurious, surrounded by gold and blue, just like a palace, even under their feet, there was a thick layer of animal skins, stepping on it was soft and extremely comfortable.
“Wowser!”
On the side, little fat Lu Ming suddenly stepped on the beast skin under his feet, exclaimed: “Pops, this is the beast skin of the red tiger ah, this one beast skin, at least hundreds of gold coins ah, here at least tens of thousands of …… f*ck, this Drunken Immortal House has more money than our family!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan and Ye Ling looked at each other, Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled, “Poverty limits brother’s imagination!”
Lu Xiaoran smiled, “Little friend, this Drunken Immortal House is rich, even the Royal Family is not as rich as them.”
Saying that, he glanced at the distance, then added; “Little friend wait for a moment, I’ll be right there!”
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the distance.
Right at this moment, a young man walked over, the young man cupped his fists at Ye Xuan, “This brother just came, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded and returned the cupped fist, “Just arrived!”
The young man laughed, “I’m Yu Bu Er, the son of the Yu Family of Chuan City, dare I ask what brother is?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Qingcheng Ye Xuan, a casual cultivator!”
“A casual cultivator?”
The young man was slightly stunned, then he shot a glance at Ye Xuan, “You’re a casual cultivator?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Precisely!”
The young man’s complexion chilled, “Excuse me.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ye Xuan: “…….”
The young man stepped aside, he cupped his fists at one of the men, “I’m Yu Buer, the son of the Yu Family of Chuan City, brother?”
The man clasped his fists and returned the salute, “I am Mo Xiao, the son of the Mo Family of Yue City!”
At those words, the young man was startled, “That’s the Mo Family that owns dozens of gold mines?”
The man nodded, “Exactly!”
The young man pulled the man’s arm and laughed, “Brother Mo, today you and I are like old friends at first sight, come on, let’s drink a few cups of pain ……”
