Chapter 429
The city Lord’s mansion was specially designed to accommodate the guest rooms of the alchemy Masters. It was located in the southeast corner and was a separate courtyard adjacent to the lake.
He opened the door to the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by the strong fragrance of flowers.
In the front yard, which was about half an acre in area, there was a winding gravel path, and on both sides of the path, countless Jade flowers and precious herbs were planted. They were bright purple, bright red, and colorful. Under the maintenance of the array, they were in full bloom regardless of the time.
After passing through the front yard, there was an exquisite house.
In the house, a dozen maidservants in luxurious clothes, with long hair and jingling pendants, were standing at the lower end of the hall, waiting for instructions.
The two guards at the advanced stage of the core formation realm led PEI Ling and Shi Wanli to their seats and said respectfully, ” “Master, the two of us will be on guard outside tonight. If you need anything, you can tell us at any time.”
PEI Ling could recognize that these two guard captains were the two who had severely injured him during the day!
Fortunately, with faceless blood’s concealment, the other party could not recognize him at all.
“Alright,” he laughed dryly.
“We won’t disturb Grandmaster’s rest.” The two guard captains then instructed the maidservants to serve them well before leaving.
After they left, PEI Ling surveyed his surroundings. The guest courtyard that the city Lord’s residence used to receive distinguished guests was naturally extremely luxurious.
It was obvious that a high-grade spirit gathering array had been set up here. The spirit Qi was so dense that it almost formed a mist in the courtyard.
Shi Wanli was very satisfied with this kind of environment. He asked PEI Ling if he had any other instructions, so he bade his farewell and left the room next door to cultivate.
PEI Ling got up and entered the master bedroom, thinking to himself.”It’s been too dangerous tonight!”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that the city Lord’s wife prepared so many materials, the consequences would be unimaginable ...”
&Quot; the difference between the time taken by an ordinary Alchemist and the time taken by the system to refine pills is too great ... &Quot;
“This can’t go on!”
“Next, I have to try to get more pill recipes and calculate the time needed to refine the pills in advance!”
&Quot; also, I’ll have to prepare a variety of poison pills with different toxins ... &Quot;
At the thought of this, PEI Ling immediately sat on the cloud Bed and activated the [ Vermillion Bird technique ] without using the system.
The next day.
PEI Ling had just finished his cultivation when he heard some movements outside.
He tidied up his robe, got up, opened the door, and walked out. He saw Shi Wanli accompanying Yuchi kechuang and his wife in the hall.
When the three of them saw PEI Ling, they quickly stood up to welcome him. &Quot; “Good Morning, Master Wang.”
After some small talk, Yuchi kechuang said, ” “Master Wang, the teleportation formation has been checked. You can head to Chao Phraya city at any time.”
&Quot; I was supposed to escort you there, but during the pill debate ceremony, the dynasty has ordered that the city Lord has to stay in the city and can’t leave without permission. I hope that you can forgive me. &Quot;
Yan qinlang smiled and offered a lunchbox.”Grandmaster, this is the breakfast that I have specially prepared for you. I hope that Grandmaster will not mind.”
After PEI Ling expressed his thanks, he ate the breakfast that the city Lord’s wife had meticulously prepared overnight under the three people’s hospitality. Then, he and Shi Wanli, accompanied by the couple, headed to the teleportation array.
The teleportation formation in the city Lord’s mansion was located on an island in the middle of a Lake.
The island was connected to the shore by a long, winding bridge. The surface of the lake on both sides of the bridge was covered with lotus flowers and leaves of different heights.
Through the gaps between the flowers and leaves, he could see many koi carps. It was a beautiful sight.
However, the moment PEI Ling stepped onto the long bridge, he felt that the entire Lake was enveloped by some kind of imprisonment array.
Even the long bridge he was on had countless restrictions.
However, because of Yuchi Kexi’s leadership, these defensive measures were completely useless against them.
After crossing the long bridge, they saw cultivators in thick armor standing on the island. An Army made up of cultivators was stationed there to guard the teleportation formation.
The two of them bid each other farewell in front of the teleportation array. Yan qinlang repeatedly invited PEI Ling to return to Ying city as a guest after the pill discussion ceremony. Only then did she and her husband reluctantly see Shi Wanli and PEI Ling step into the teleportation array.
Soon, the lines of the array gradually lit up. After a wave of spatial fluctuations, the two of them disappeared.
At the same time, at the teleportation point of the distant Chao Phraya city, the scene above the teleportation formation shook. PEI Ling and Shi Wanli’s figures slowly appeared.
“Master, this way please.” As someone from the dynasty, Shi Wanli was very familiar with every county under the dynasty’s rule.
He led PEI Ling out of the door with ease and familiarity. When he saw someone coming up to him, he took out the command token of the cicada master’s branch and sent him away. Then, he asked PEI Ling, ” this is Chao Phraya city. May I ask if you would like to head to the prefecture capital’s hundred works banner to register first? ”
PEI Ling had come to the Chao Phraya city for the county examination. Naturally, he would not reject the offer and nodded his head slightly.
“Master, please follow me,” Shi Wanli hurriedly said.
The two of them walked out of the teleportation point and saw a circle of rivers. On the river, small boats came and went without a break. The Willow branches along the bank were like smoke, and the flowers were like brocade. It was a prosperous scene.
After calling for an empty boat and taking the two of them to the hundred works engine, Shi Wanli explained to PEI Ling, ” &Quot; the area where the Chao Phraya city is located used to be a swamp filled with miasma. After the dynasty sent high level cultivators to transform it, it has become a place where people live and work in peace for a thousand years. &Quot;
“The island where the teleportation point is located is also specially designated by the city.”
“The surrounding water flow has an imprisonment array to prevent Feng Xu from riding the wind in case of any unforeseen circumstances. We can only use small boats to travel.”
“As time passed, it formed a unique amorous feeling in Chao Phraya city.”
As he spoke, PEI Ling looked around and sized up the crowd. He discovered that the proportion of the foreign races in the crowd was higher than in bamboo city.
On the side of the boat, there was no lack of humanoid creatures with beast ears and long tails. There were even many aquatic creatures that didn’t even use the boat and directly revealed their true forms, swimming quickly underwater.
One of the dark shadows moved like lightning. With PEI Ling’s eyesight, he only managed to catch a glimpse of the back half of the bright-colored fishtail. When the tail fin was spread out, it swept across the bottom of the water like a translucent feather fan with flowing lights and colors.
It was like a Merman!
Apart from the large number of foreign races, the number of high-level cultivators had also increased.
The small boat they were on didn’t go far, but PEI Ling already saw at least six to seven core formation stage beings.
There were also two foreign cultivators who were at the core formation realm and above. Their auras were as deep as the ocean, and it was difficult to determine their cultivation level.
As PEI Ling sized up his surroundings, the crowd was also attracted by the alchemist’s robe he was wearing.
The pill ceremony was a disguised talent selection ceremony for the glaze avarice dynasty. After many years of publicity, it had long become a grand event under the rule of the dynasty. During the event, the attention of the entire dynasty was focused on this.
At this moment, although PEI Ling was unfamiliar and not one of the grandmasters of alchemy that they were familiar with, he was very young. The crowd passing by still subconsciously took a few more glances at him.
The small boat turned a corner, and the flag of the restaurant was fluttering in the air. PEI Ling saw it and suddenly asked, ” “Before the county examination, I would like to improve my alchemy skills. I wonder if there are any pill formulas for sale in the county city?”
