Chapter 771: First Visit to the Holy Land
Lin Zhen’s friends gradually dispersed.
Many people chose to stay in Qin. There is also a New Territories Hometown Association here. It is easy to survive anywhere, and the prosperity of Qin is indeed very attractive.
Ning Qingxuan stayed in the Alchemist Association in Qindu and practiced in the suspended villa.
"Hubby, don't worry about me. A warrior's training has no concept of time. You've only been in the Holy Land for a hundred years, and the Holy Land doesn't forbid going out. If you miss me, just come back to see me."
Ning Qingxuan, with her snow-white skin, snuggled in Lin Zhen's arms, the blush on her face had not completely faded.
"Well, I'll come back often."
"But you have to be careful, husband. You have to fight for the holy land. The closer you are to the stone tablet, the more you will learn. So internal challenges are very important."
“Is this true for every holy place?”
"Yes, it is the same in every holy land. If you rank last in a class, not only will you learn less, but you will also be demoted during the annual assessment."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly: "Don't worry, your husband is strong in every aspect, you know this."
Lin Zhen's words made Ning Qingxuan pinch him hard, but this only aroused some thoughts in Lin Zhen. He turned over and pressed down the beautiful woman under him, proving his words with non-stop movements from dusk to dawn.
********* The next morning, all the new students gathered at the Falling Star Lake.
The weather is good today. Although there are some winds and waves, they are not too big. In the distance, on the lake, the blue whale from the holy land is seen pushing the water and swimming towards us.
A servant in blue stood on the back of the blue whale and said to all the students, "I am here to take you to Zhaixing Island on the orders of the Fifth Young Master. Please get on the fish!"
Lin Zhen touched his nose. He had heard of getting on a car, on a boat, on a plane, and on a warship, but the word "getting on a fish" was really rare.
The Blue Whale stopped in the deep water area, and all the students took off and flew a short distance. First came the students from the Tian class, and finally the students from the Huang class, who boarded the back of the Blue Whale in order.
"Hold on tight. There are strong waves in Falling Star Lake, and there are some monsters. It will be dangerous if you fall in."
After the servant gave instructions, the blue whale turned its head, paddled with its huge fins, and began to rumble towards the depths of Falling Star Lake.
Today, Lin Zhen was really enlightened to see how fast a fish can swim.
This is no longer swimming, but gliding on the water surface. Occasionally, the fish fins slap the water, and the speed is increasing at many times the speed of sound! Everyone tries to keep their body shape fixed to avoid being blown off the fish's back.
The deeper you go into Falling Star Lake, the stronger the winds and waves become. It's like entering the vast Pacific Ocean, with no end in sight.
There were huge waves ahead, and the waves were so high that they actually hit the clouds! The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. This place was like a forbidden zone for life. Even these warriors felt the powerful natural force here.
"Hold on tight!"
The servant shouted, and the blue whale dived into the wind and waves.
Deep in the huge waves, a strange circle of light appeared.
"This is... a portal!"
Before people could react, the next moment the blue whale had passed through the portal and appeared in a new area of water.
There was dense fog all around, and the Blue Whale continued paddling forward, and after about an hour it came out of the foggy area.
Everyone was in a daze and had no idea which route they were taking.
But they knew they were almost there, because a huge island appeared dimly in the distance. That was their destination, Star Picking Island.
The speed of the blue whale gradually slowed down, and the surrounding wind and waves disappeared at this moment.
"Star Picking Island is near the center of Falling Star Lake. After passing through the portal, you are now 8 billion light years away from Qindu!"
The warriors were secretly shocked. It turned out that they had to go through a portal. The wind and waves were too strong just now. If it weren't for the servants leading them, they would have no way of finding the portal to the Star-Picking Island.
A warrior from Yuban asked, "Young man, if we want to leave Star Picking Island, how can we get out?"
"The Holy Land does not prohibit students from leaving, but you will basically not be able to find the portal on your own the first time. You can only take the transportation of our Star Picking Island."
“Is that the blue whale?”
"No, the Blue Whale is a large vehicle, you can only sit in it. Here, that one."
The servant pointed forward and saw a gigantic dolphin more than ten meters long leaping out from the vast lake beside the island, its silver skin shining in the sun.
"This is a holy land dolphin. You can rent it. It costs a lot of money each time."
"How much can the rent be?" a warrior from the Huang class said disdainfully.
The servant smiled and said, "It's not much. If you want to go back to Qindu, it's 1 billion each time!"
"What? Ten billion?" Many warriors expressed their surprise. Although their realms were not low, money in the Metaverse was not so easy to earn. Without Lin Zhen's alchemy skills, ten billion was not a small number for anyone.
A warrior from the Zhou class said with some dissatisfaction: "This is too unfair. We are all warriors from the Holy Land. The Holy Land can be considered our home. How can you charge such a high fee to your family?"
"That's right, it should be free to use. At least our Huang class should be eligible for free."
"Why can Huang Class get free? Is it because you are one level higher than our Yu Class?"
"Although our class is low, we should still be treated equally."
Several warriors started arguing. At this time, Michelle, a student of the Heaven Class, suddenly said, "What are you arguing about! Rules are rules. Do you think you are the master just after entering the Holy Land?"
Michelle is already the first person selected this time. As a student in the Tianban class, he is still very intimidating. When he speaks, many people shut up.
The servant smiled at Michelle and said, "This classmate is right. Although you are warriors of the Holy Land, you are not the masters of the Holy Land. You are just students here, just like students have to pay tuition. You have to pay a price to enjoy everything in the Holy Land. Unless you are the master of the Holy Land or his direct disciple, you can be considered the master."
People immediately thought of Jinnuo. If they couldn't reach Jinnuo's level, they couldn't be considered the master.
"I am just a small errand boy, but I still want to advise you that if you want to stand out in the Holy Land, you must rely on your own strength. If you can go higher in the Thirty-three Heavens Tower, your status in the Holy Land will be higher."
"Thirty-three Heavens Tower, what is that?"
"Haha, we have arrived at the holy land. Someone will give you the answer soon. Everyone, please get off the fish."
The Blue Whale docked at the shore of Star-Picking Island, where someone was already waiting.
Everyone got off the blue whale's back in order again and landed on the shore.
The receptionist was still a janitor. After seeing everyone coming down, he said expressionlessly, "Everyone follow me. I will explain some things to you on the way. If you can't hear or remember clearly, I won't repeat it."
At this time, Huang Zun, a student from the ground class, who was beside Lin Zhen, said, "Damn it! Why are these servants so arrogant? We are students and they are servants. Could it be that their status is higher than ours?"
Lin Zhen said calmly: "All the servants in the Holy Land are immortal warriors. To them, the Holy Land is their home, and the rest of us are just passers-by, without any status to speak of."
"Lin Zhen. Do you know who you are talking to?" Huang Zun seemed to dislike Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen did not give him face yesterday, which made him have some opinions about Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen snorted coldly and didn't answer him at all.
Huang Zun wanted to say something, but the servant turned around and said, "Don't make any loud noises. If you continue to talk, you will be asked to leave the team."
Huang Zun pointed at Lin Zhen in the air a few times, and then fell silent.
A bluestone road winds up from the edge of the island.
The servant led the people, introducing them as they walked.
"There are currently more than 30,000 people on the Star Picking Island Holy Land, including more than 8,000 students and more than 20,000 servants. The island has a lot of things, which is equivalent to a small city."
"In front is the area where you students live. From the Heaven Class to the Wild Class, the higher the level of the students, the better the living environment. If you want to live there, go ahead. The villas at the top are for the Heaven Class. Everyone has one. The Earth Class also has slightly smaller villas. The Xuan Class has their own house. The big bunk bed at the bottom is for the Wild Class, but I don't think it's very meaningful, because when you practice, you rarely have the opportunity to live here."
After walking for a while, people passed a place called Jindan Pavilion and stopped.
Because people saw a person walking out of the Jindan Pavilion.
This person turned out to be Qian Tong, the Saint Master from Qin! "Isn't that Qian Tong, the Saint-level alchemist? Why is he here?"
The servant smiled and said, "I heard that he did something wrong and was punished by the Fifth Young Master to refine pills in the Holy Land for a hundred years. Unlike you, he is forbidden to leave the Holy Land and go to the stone tablet area. He can only refine pills in this place."
After hearing what the servant said, everyone knew what mistake Qian Tong had made, which was attacking the contestants during the ring, which was an offense to the dignity of the holy land.
What shocked them even more was the power of the holy land.
With just one sentence from the Fifth Young Master, Qian Tong, the only Saint-level alchemist in the Yuan Realm, could make Qian Tong honestly refine pills in the Holy Land for a hundred years. This was especially unbelievable to those warriors who knew what a prominent figure Qian Tong was in the Qin State.
The majesty of the holy land is so terrifying! Qian Tong watched the warriors passing by, and his eyes fell on Lin Zhen. There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it obviously. He simply turned around and returned to the Golden Pill Pavilion to pretend that he didn't see it.
Lin Zhen just glanced at him lightly, as if he didn't see Qian Tong.
Continue walking up the bluestone road, and after crossing a small ridge, you will finally reach the core area of the holy land.
On the hillside ahead, huge stone tablets stood, looming in the morning mist.
