章 653: 653 Lady Ling

The next morning, the new statue for testing potential was introduced to the public and placed in a spot of honor near the center of the city, in the grandest public park. You could see its location from the inner portion of any quadrant of the city and make your way through a winding path of enchanted shrubs and flowers, all of which were early-grade cultivation materials. 

The sight was incredible, and the City Lord had clearly gone all out to make it an attractive landmark for visitors to the city.

The materials that were planted there meant less than nothing to the powerful cultivators in the city. They were only placed there as a form of secondary test for unskilled applicants, a test of character.

The plants could help them awaken and begin the earlier stages of improving their body so they could begin cultivation, but all theft was illegal in the city, and that included public resources. You couldn't take them without permission.
