Chapter 124 Yicheng Trial 5 Xie Jiaoyue received several...
Xie Jiaoyue received several messages from Director Wan in succession.
Director Wan seemed to have anticipated that Xie Jiaoyue might be late, and he even reassured her not to worry. He had already spoken to her about it, and Xie Jiaoyue could just go directly without any problems. Her spot in the training ground would be reserved for her, and there would be absolutely no issues.
Director Wan also explained when he would return.
The training grounds will be open for six months, and the all-domain competition will be held a few days later, so the timing is perfect. Wan Sichang is expected to return in about five months, and he will definitely take Xie Jiaoyue on a good tour of Yicheng and show her some hospitality.
Xie Jiaoyue listened to the voice messages left by Director Wan one by one, and was not very focused on walking. She accidentally took the wrong path and suddenly found that she could not walk any further. There was a wall in front of her and there was no way to go.
She retreated silently from the alleyway, looking at the surrounding brick walls as she walked.
The wall bricks were peculiar; a familiar yet unsettling spiritual energy emanated from them. She touched them; each brick had been specially treated, the method seemingly... to prevent those inside from leaving without permission?
When Xie Jiaoyue came out of the alley, she deliberately took a short detour to the front of the house to see what kind of place it was.
Then I saw the clan emblem of the Gongshi clan.
Strange, why would the Gongshi clan make such a treatment on the bricks and stones? Who were they trying to keep out? Did they imprison a serious criminal or something?
That falls within the scope of the Heaven and Earth Bureau's work, not the Gongshi Clan's.
Xie Jiaoyue hesitated for a while before leaving. She didn't have a good relationship with Gongshi, so she didn't want to worry about it.
She replenished the spiritual energy in the nameplate in her hand, and the path reappeared on the nameplate. She followed the path, and the prosperity of the first city in the Southwest Region gradually faded behind her, until she finally arrived at a desolate and uninhabited deep mountain.
Xie Jiaoyue looked up and saw that the entire mountain seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making it impossible to see clearly no matter how she looked at it.
She looked around but couldn't find a visible entrance. After trying for a while, she took out the nameplate from her pocket and infused it with spiritual energy once again.
This time, the nameplate had a faint glow, and several barely visible beams of light flowed from it, heading towards the hazy mountains not far away.
It seems the nameplate is already telling her the news; she doesn't need to worry.
Xie Jiaoyue stood calmly in place and waited.
Director Wan's younger brother, Wan Puxin, lazily lifted his head from his chair after receiving the message that carried his brother's spiritual aura.
Ah, the little girl my brother was talking about has arrived.
My brother had instructed me to personally pick them up, take them to their lodgings, and explain the structure of the training ground.
Wan Puxin popped a grape into his mouth. He had made some changes to Xie Jiaoyue's nameplate, including a map and description of the training ground.
He's so lazy, too lazy to train people himself.
Although Xie Jiaoyue has only been cultivating for a few years, she is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She certainly doesn't need his one-on-one assistance, and might even resent having someone constantly following her.
Wanpuxin ate a grape and made a major decision.
He remotely cast a spell to open the door to the training ground for Xie Jiaoyue, and then lay back down.
Ah, so sleepy. He hadn't slept well all day while waiting for Xie Jiaoyue to arrive.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Wan Puxin fell asleep within seconds.
At the foot of the mountain, the deserted green mountains in front of Xie Jiaoyue suddenly became clear from a hazy state. Then, a door slowly appeared on her body, accompanied by rumbling sounds.
Xie Jiaoyue was so frightened that she took a step back, feeling as if she was about to be assassinated.
She was right; if she hadn't left in time, the door would have slammed down on her, slamming her hard into the ground.
Once the door became a solid object, the rumbling sound ceased.
Xie Jiaoyue waited for a while and found that nothing else appeared except for a door, and no one paid any attention to him.
Wait a minute, didn't Director Wan say that he had already told his younger brother that someone would come to pick her up?
Xie Jiaoyue waited a while longer, and after confirming that no one was really going to pick her up, she had no choice but to gently push the door open and walk inside.
Behind her, the door that had just appeared disappeared again, and the way she had come was no longer visible. In its place, a stone path appeared before her.
When everything settled down, Xie Jiaoyue took a deep breath, and the abundant spiritual energy flowed from her nostrils into her lungs, then into the meridians of her limbs and bones.
Comfortable.
Although the concentration of spiritual energy here is not as high as that of the Azure Kite Secret Realm, it is still many times stronger than that of other places!
Is this the Yicheng training ground? Yicheng actually has such a place; no wonder it can be the number one city in the Southwest Region.
However, Xie Jiaoyue suspected that this place was not naturally formed, because she did not sense the existence of a powerful spiritual vein like that of the Qingyuan Secret Realm. The spiritual energy here was not different from place to place like in the Qingyuan Secret Realm, and there were no spiritual objects scattered on the ground.
A uniform, just right aura permeated the air, with a hint of artificiality.
This is probably not a place that Director Wan painstakingly set up himself.
Xie Jiaoyue pondered whether she had the ability to set up one in Jinling City. In the end, she realized that although she had a lot of spirit stones, she didn't have enough connections to find someone to maintain this level of formation to gather spiritual energy.
Even if she were willing to spend spirit stones, the returns would be completely disproportionate to the exorbitant costs.
Director Wan is really hardworking. He emptied his pockets just to gain political achievements and then move up the ranks. His awareness is extremely high.
At this moment, the nameplate trembled slightly. Xie Jiaoyue looked down and saw another map appear on the nameplate.
The map clearly marks the location of the training ground, which is roughly from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point. It is not large and its structure is very simple. There are as many as five Golden Core stage cultivators in charge. One of them is the younger brother of Director Wan, who maintains the operation of the entire training ground, while the other four are responsible for teaching. Therefore, there are four brick houses located at the four corners of the training ground, and the cultivators' residences are scattered around these four brick houses.
One of them is the Azure Kite Swordsman.
Xie Jiaoyue felt she was qualified to be here, and that the Sword Master Qingyuan must have contributed as well. That was good; she had only just gained a master, and if they hadn't seen each other for six months, their master-disciple relationship might have been severed.
In the center of the training ground stands a tall tower with nine levels. The bottom three levels contain books, while the top six levels contain the insights left behind by powerful figures from the Southwest Region. If one can comprehend even a fraction of these insights, it is equivalent to directly conversing with these powerful figures to improve oneself.
Next to the tower is a special place for meditation and cultivation, called Yuelongchang, which means carp leaping over the dragon gate.
This is the core of the entire training ground formation, the place with the highest concentration of spiritual energy.
After a brief moment of thought, Xie Jiaoyue decided to head towards the Leap Dragon Field, wanting to get a feel for the concentration of spiritual energy there and see if she had a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage within six months.
Fifteen minutes later, Xie Jiaoyue successfully found Yuelongchang following the instructions on the nameplate.
On the Dragon Leap Arena, all nineteen cultivators sat there without exception, their nineteen pairs of eyes all fixed on Xie Jiaoyue.
Wang Qingshan was the first to laugh out loud: "This is the famous Xie Jiaoyue. Why did you come alone?"
"That's true. It's normal that no one dares to come to a declining family like the Xie family."
