Chapter 2: Arrival at the Cyan Bamboo City
Cyan bamboo city.
It was a small city located in the south of the Great Kingdom Alfron. This city was peculiar because of its interesting cyan bamboo growing near the river that crossed the city, giving calm and serene tranquility to the citizens living there.
It was why the Cyan Bamboo city was one of the quietest places in the kingdom.
That said, the place was currently crowded with people,
There were over thousands of people filling up what little space remained in the market place.
Suddenly, in the lively crowd, a man shouted loudly in an attempt to attract the attention of the people surrounding him.
" In 3 days, the Green Raven sect, The Everlasting Star Academy, The Radiant Sword Sect, and The Void Sect are sending their representatives to this village. They will conduct small tests to select a new bach of disciples. Pass the word to every kid under twenty ... "
Suddenly, a slow but cold voice sounded in the crowd
" Excuse me, may I know if the representatives are also recruiting teachers? "
Everyone turned around to see who spoke this sentence. Upon looking at the person's face, the man who was reading the message before had a dumbfounded look on his face, and nearly all the people there began laughing.
" Hey kid, I don't think that you fit the position of teacher in an academy, much less a sect! "
" Hahahaha this girl actually wants to teach others? haha haha, my teeth are nearly falling!!! "
" Girl, how about I teach you something in my bed tonight, come warm this elder I'll give you a good salary! "
" haha haha stop that, I'm dying!!! "
Much less to their provocations, Qianli didn't mind this people's vulgarities and still continued to fix with her cold red eyes the messenger expecting an answer.
" uh... that I don't know, you have to see with the elders when they come to the... "
Cupping her hands and bowing her head, she quickly left the market not bothering with the people's gaze.
After that, the messenger repeated the message twice before heading out of the market.
People started chatting with each other.
" Hey, who do you think will come in the junior generation? "
" I don't know, there have been rumors that the third prince will surely come to this selection; I even heard that the fairy maiden along with her sister is already here staying in the lord's mansion as guests. "
" Speaking of the lord, will his son also participate? "
" Probably, you don't know this but.... they've said that this is the last time the sects are going to recruit people in our kingdom. Since there have been rumors that our kingdom only produces trash, and they are unable to gain a great achievement, they want to limit the spots. After that, The Everlasting Star Academy will probably be the only place left for our citizens to learn cultivation... "
" Pah! That academy is worthless, how can they compare to the great sects? "
" Well... before the great cataclysm, they used to be a sect. Although now they are only a shadow of what they were once before... "
One day before this event; Qianli, who descended to the mortal world, was at a loss as to what to do.
The place where the inter-spatial gate led her was this city's border. Lucky for her no one was there when the gate opened, or else people wouldn't want to believe their eyes.
At first, she tried to find a small place to stay for the night. With the assets she had in her inter spacial ring, there was enough to shame the imperial vault of the kingdom, no, maybe more than five kingdoms. But she didn't want to attract attention, so, for now, she had to stay low profile and try to gather information about this place.
After some detours, she asked some citizens where to stay. Sadly, there wasn't enough space in the town's inn, and the tavern was noisy enough that she wouldn't mind sleeping on the street. She finally decided to buy a small house from an old man near the river at the border of the city.
" This place is not bad, at least there aren't many people here like that tavern. "
Resting till the morning, she woke up and headed to the town to gather information.
Then after following some people, she was in the center of the market place where the messenger began reading the message.
" Very well, since the elders are coming to this city, I may as well prepare myself if they want to test me "
Qianli went to the alchemist hall to buy ingredients for a physique changing pill, this will help her to change her physique and fool the eyes of outsiders, and it will also momentarily give the impression that she is able to cultivate and raise her aura to the 4th rank Master for a few days. As long as she can produce enough of this pill, living for a few decades as a 4th rank isn't much of a problem.
Little did she know that a 4th rank Master is already considered quite outstanding even in the sect, a grand elder position may not even be more powerful than a third rank, much less a fourth rank master...
" I hope to find this ingredient... "
....
" Sorry miss, these ingredients are unknown to us ... "
The receptionist maintained a large smile, but underneath his visage, he was smirking and gave a cold laugh.
Is she trying to cause problems here? What are these ingredients, horn of the snow fox demon, 2 leaves of the hundred fire grass..... I've been working here for over 3 years and have never heard of this before.... but the most absurd is that she wants one jade nectar flower! Throughout the whole continent, this flower already disappeared two millennia's ago! Only the Alchemist sect have 2 of this flower left!
urgh... forget it, it's best to just send her away without problems!
Noticing the stare of the dumbfounded receptionist, Qianli chooses to go away without trying to haggle over things.
" It seems I overestimated the resources of the mortal world... this will be a problem ... "
Disappointed, she headed home trying to figure out a new plan before the arrival of the elders of the city.
