Lord Zhang Fei

180 The Forbidden City [I]

As soon as his body became heavier, Zhang Fei was immediately supported by Lao Caitou. Then, he say to Zhang Fei kindly. “Good boy, don’t be too polite. If you are all right, go and pay homage to your parents first.”

Bu Wenle also stood up and said to Zhang Fei, “Come, let’s go with you to pay the homage!”

Bu Wenle also liked the two former apprentices, Mu Tuo and Xuan’er, very much. It was a pity that God paid no attention to those two, allowing them to die here. At this time, when he got to the apprentice’s grave, Bu Wenle’s heart was also very heavy.

Along the way, Zhang Fei picked a bunch of wild flowers and placed them in front of Mu Tuo’s husband and wife’s grave, and took out some fruits from the space and placed them. Although Zhang Fei and the others had just left for two or three months, the tomb was still full of weeds. After Zhang Fei cleaned up the weeds and acknowledged his parents, he returned to the camp with Bu Wenle.

At this time, Lao Caitou had already set up three big tents. How about saying that ginger was still old and spicy? It seemed that Lao Caitou was really well prepared. Lu Wenfeng and everyone have gradually recovered. However, there was still some wobbles when walking, and after washing with cold water, it was all right. It’s just that the filth all over the body emitted an unpleasant smell.

Fortunately, Lao Caitou set up a tent, and everyone immediately got into the tent and changed into clean clothes. Since everyone hadn’t completely woken up from the dizziness at this time, they didn’t eat anything at night, but simply got thirsty and got into the tent and went to sleep.

After a long sleep, the next morning, everyone crawled up vigorously. At this time, everyone discovered that after an emergency flight, everyone actually came directly to the Great Ruins Forest! This had to make everyone curious about Lao Caitou.

Lao Caitou felt the strange eyes of everyone, and while packing the tent, he said, “What’s so surprising? Our Xuanbing Academy is not a place to support idlers. You must not underestimate anyone in the academy.”

Everyone nodded and said yes, but the gaze towards Lao Caitou had obviously changed a little. Less casual, but more respectful.

.....

After cleaning up, everyone returned to the outside of Lingchen Cave under the leadership of Zhang Fei after paying homage to his parents. For the sake of safety, everyone rested by the pool first, and Lao Caitou was in charge of patrolling around. After finding that there was no danger, everyone returned to Lingchen Cave from the entrance below the pool.

Everyone has been practicing in Lingchen Cave for a year, so they were very familiar with the terrain here. But Lao Caitou and Ji Menghan saw this scene for the first time, and they couldn’t help but sigh for a while.

Especially Lao Caitou, who had lived for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such an opportunity. Although his cultivation base has reached this level, Lao Caitou believed that there was no possibility of improvement in this life, and he no longer had nostalgic for the things in the world, and was dedicated to old age. But after arriving at Lingchen Cave, a desire inevitably arose in his heart.

This desire was also expanding in the hearts of all people at the same time. Having only cultivated here for a year before, the cultivation base of everyone had broken through to a level that could only be achieved by normal cultivation in four or five years. It would be another year soon, and they didn’t know what kind of surprises this year would bring to everyone.

At this time, the cultivation bases of Zhang Fei and others were:

Lu Wenfeng, an early third-level spiritual master.

Ji Menghan, an early third-level spiritual master.

Feng Ziyu, the early third-level spiritual master.

Step by month, the initial stage of the third-level spiritual master.

Zhang Fei, late second-level cultivator.

Yi Mei’er, a mid-level cultivator.

As a seventh-level spiritual saint, Buwenle’s mental damage had not fully recovered. Therefore, recovering from the injury as soon as possible was Buwenle’s primary goal.

Although Lao Caitou’s cultivation had reached the level of Spirit ascendant, he wass only wandering in the initial stage of Spirit ascendant. Nonetheless, on the Sacred Spirit Continent, Lao Caitou could be regarded as an all-powerful figure. After all, being able to cultivate to the ninth-level spirit fairy level was not so easy to do.

Therefore, Xuanbing Academy’s Mu Lao’s reputation was also very high among high-level spiritual masters. Therefore, Yin Yu and Fang Kui would be so respectful after hearing the name of Mu Lao.

At this time, Lao Caitou’s originally dull eyes clearly added a touch of brilliance...

***

Another spring blooming.

The central area of ??Ziling Continent occupies about one-third of the entire Ziling Continent and belongs to the warm and humid climate. With the season of recovery of all things, there was a sea of ??flowers everywhere.

Due to the concentration of human life in the central area, seven of the top ten spiritual master colleges in the whole continent were concentrated in this central area. Among them, the most famous, the Forbidden Advanced Spiritualist Academy located in the Forbidden City, the center of human administration.

The reason why this academy was particularly famous was that it was located in the Forbidden City and has many privileges that other academies did not have; the second was that the academy only recruited children of nobles. The Forbidden Academy was impossible to achieve, and no matter how much money one spends, it would not work here; the third was because the Forbidden Academy had always been ranked among the top three among all the spiritual master colleges in the world, and more often was in the first place.

In fact, this academy was not the only one in the Forbidden City. Because it was the center of human culture and politics in the whole continent, the Forbidden City was very huge. Although due to the passage of time, the Forbidden City had expanded by an unknown number of times compared to a million years ago.

At the moment, the Forbidden City was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city was bounded by the old city a million years ago, with a length and width of more than 50 miles. The Forbidden City Advanced Spiritualist Academy was located in the inner city.

The outer city was set outside the inner city, and the length and width were more than two hundred miles. In this vast outer city, there were spiritual master colleges in the east, west, north and south. Although they were not too famous, they were all ranked within the top 30 of the more than 3,000 spiritual master academies in the mainland, and there were occasional examples of these colleges breaking into the top ten. It could be said that their teachers were also strong enough.

It was precisely because the Forbidden City has such a large scale that the Great Competitions of the Continent Spirit Master Colleges in the past were held in the Forbidden City. In order to accept more and more spiritual master colleges to join the ranks of college competitions, the official Forbidden City began to divide an area in the outer city as early as hundreds of thousands of years ago to receive teachers and students from participating colleges.

This area was called the Hall of Spiritualists. The Hall of Spiritual Masters occupied a very large area, not because of the large number of students. There werere only about 40,000 to 50,000 teachers and students who enter the hall of spiritual masters in each world, and it was not very easy to provide food and lodging for these people. The main ones occupying a large area were the various small arenas scattered in the Hall of Spiritualists.

Due to the continuous increase in the number of spiritual master academies participating in the past, the number of arenas in the hall of spiritual masters has now grown to 100. But each arena was not very big, and the arena could only accommodate three or four thousand people to watch the game at the same time.

It was precisely because of these 100 arenas that even though there were more than 3,000 participating academies, the entire competition would end in just one month.

And this month was also the most prosperous and lively month in the entire Forbidden City. Just imagine, at the same time, there were 40,000 to 50,000 top students from various colleges flocking to the city, and they were all representatives of all parts of the mainland. It could be said that each one was a little god of wealth.

With so many Gods of Wealth coming all at once, it was no wonder that the Forbidden City’s large and small businesses didn’t make any loss. Of course, the “robbing” here was not the kind of robbery that resulted in fights. In the entire Forbidden City at this time, no matter which street was, Gangxiang, the large and small shops werere all decorated with lights like the New Year, and they were thriving.
