The two city guards who were closing the gate both shuddered and shrank their necks.

"Hey, it's so damn cold in the middle of the night!" A soldier complained as he pushed the door open.

"Yes, there was a sudden gust of wind, and it was very eerie..." His companions cursed. Being on duty in the middle of the night, isn't it the saddest thing?

After the two men walked away cursing, the area near the city gate became completely quiet. Yang Lan'er walked out from the side, looking thoughtful.

After being an ordinary person for so long, she actually forgot that her speed was not something that ordinary people could detect, and the so-called cultivators rarely appeared in cities full of mortals.

It is said that monks also have their own special cities, which also contain ordinary people, but they are all descendants of monks, so they are a little different.

After reviewing the map, Yang Lan'er was sure that there was no such city marked within the Qianxiang Dynasty, and ordinary people were probably not aware of it.

With a sigh, Yang Lan'er felt that she still had a long way to go!

Yang Lan'er randomly found an inn that looked nice and checked in. She checked in a room and was about to get something to eat and find out some gossip when she saw an "acquaintance".

That’s right, an acquaintance.

It was the girl outside the city who was ready to give her a ride.

This inn looked very lively. Although it was already midnight, there were still many people drinking and chatting. That was why Yang Lan'er chose this place.

Fortunately, there were other empty seats, so Yang Lan'er ignored them and sat at the table alone.

"Miss, you were so kind to send her into the city, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even pretended not to see it. It's really... Wasn't she going on a night trip with her friends? Why did she go into the city?" The girl's maid was quite dissatisfied and grumbled.

"June, don't talk nonsense. There are many dangers when you are out there. You should be vigilant. We approached them on our own." The girl looked at Yang Lan'er a few more times and found that she was sensible.

Yang Lan'er heard it, but still didn't take it seriously. In this world, strength is respected. Some reasons are well known to everyone, so why expose them? It will not benefit anyone.

Below the cultivators, there is also a world of ordinary people, which is similar to the modern society on Earth, divided into levels one to nine, and above that are the innate ones.

It is said that the proportion of warriors is more than half, of course, most of them are of low level.

Don't be fooled by the girl and the maid's frail appearance. In fact, the master is of the fifth rank and the maid is of the fourth rank, which is enough for them to travel the world.

This world values ​​strength, so the people are naturally tough and open-minded. Women can show their faces in public without any restrictions.

Yang Lan'er particularly likes this. The most important thing is that she doesn't have to be shy about eating.

There are many warriors in this world. What seems to be a large appetite on Earth is actually just a very normal thing. Moreover, eating a lot is also a symbol of strong strength, which will only make people more in awe.

So, Yang Lan'er calmly ordered a lot of special dishes and prepared to taste them carefully.

Of course, in order not to reveal more, Yang Lan'er still knew when to stop. It wasn't too outrageous. Just give it a try anyway.

In such a world, it is safest to eat food because almost all of it is pure natural and naturally tastes good.

"The five-year competition is about to begin, and all places are selecting candidates!"

"Yes, the registration for Xicheng Jurisdiction has ended, and the competition will start the day after tomorrow. My nephew has also signed up, but I don't know how far he will get."

"There are always many talented people emerging in every competition, under the age of 25. Tsk tsk, what a pity, I missed it back then."

"I wonder how many geniuses Xicheng will produce this time? When they gather in the capital, if they are in the top ten, they can represent the Qianxiang Dynasty to fight in the empire. What a great honor that is! Even if we don't get anything in the end, it will be enough to bring honor to our family."

"Come on, Xicheng's record is getting worse every year. The best they've ever done was to be in the top 100, and that was many years ago. Some things are better to be realistic."

"Alas, although Xicheng is not small, it is only one of the hundreds of second-tier cities in the dynasty. It is also located in a remote area, and its resources are very limited!"

“…”

Speaking of this, all kinds of sighs came out. This feeling is quite similar to the national honor and regional complex on Earth. Yang Lan'er expressed her understanding.

However, Yang Lan'er has no sense of belonging to any country here. She is just an outsider, and most importantly, she is still an illegal resident.

Yang Lan'er touched her chin and felt that this continent-wide competition seemed worth looking forward to. She had often heard people discussing it recently, and it seemed to have a bit of a national prosperity flavor.

For now, it's just an idea that Yang Lan'er suddenly had. Because she doesn't understand it well enough, it's still immature.

There was no other way. It seemed that it would be a bit difficult for her to find a city in the world of cultivation and enter the circle in this way. Moreover, the red light of sin on her body had not been eliminated yet, and it was not easy for her to appear in the sight of cultivators. It would take time.

Before coming, Yang Lan'er discussed with Qin Muyan and suggested going to a large sect to become a disciple, and then look up information to see if there is any way to treat Yin Zimo.

However, not only did she not know where the sect was, she definitely couldn't get in.

At the age of twenty, she has only reached the third level of Qi Refining. Most importantly, no matter how she is tested, she only has the lowest five spiritual roots. The ancestors have warned her about the matter of chaotic spiritual roots and it must not be exposed.

Therefore, it is still a question whether the sect will accept such a "low" qualification. Even if he is accepted, he will probably only be a low-level errand disciple. How can he have the authority to access secret information? Instead of that, it is better to find another way.

According to the information provided by the Qin family, the human countries on the mainland are actually connected to the immortal sects. Yang Lan'er just wants to know whether this kind of competition will recommend her to join the sect? By then, even for the sake of the empire, she should be given a decent status!

It's a pity that the place is remote and very little information can be collected. Ordinary people don't know what the final ranking of the competition will be. They only know that it will be glorious.

After all, this world is not like Earth, where we have television networks and everyone can watch every game clearly.

Moreover, the registration has ended, Yang Lan'er can only regret it and decide to follow and observe to see if there is a chance in the next session? Five years, by then she will just be stuck at the upper age limit.

There is no way. This world has ways to test age, and it is impossible to hide it.

While listening to these people muttering, Yang Lan'er ate while still thinking about the best solution. It was only five years, so she could still wait...

As Yang Lan'er was thinking, something moved in her heart. The girl she had seen outside the city stood up and walked towards her.

"My dear girl, I didn't expect that we would have the chance to meet again. It is fate. Yang Feiyin, I will buy you a drink."
