The imperial capital is the center of power of Jiang State and the most prosperous place in Jiang State.
And this is also a place where countless young people pursue their dreams.
Yun Chuan is getting closer and closer to the Imperial Capital, and the Imperial Capital is becoming more and more clear in everyone's sight.
Beside Ye Xuan, Lu Xiaoran suddenly said: "Young friend Ye Xuan, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in the imperial capital, so you have to be more diplomatic in doing things, otherwise, there may be a lot of trouble!"
Ye Xuan nodded, "I won't cause trouble!"
Lu Xiaoran shook his head and smiled, "It's not that I'm afraid that you will cause trouble, but this place is really a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Even though I am the lord of a city, I have to be careful here for fear of offending some people who shouldn't be offended."
As he said that, he looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Little friend Ye Xuan, it's not just a matter of not causing trouble here. If you can, it will be of great benefit to you to make more friends."
make friends!
Ye Xuan nodded, he naturally understood the benefits of having one more friend.
The cloud boat is getting closer and closer to the imperial capital. From its current position, it can be seen clearly what the imperial capital looks like. The imperial capital is not very large, with a population of about one million. The city is also very old. It obviously has a certain amount of history.
History.
However, it is extremely prosperous here!
Before they get close, there are countless cloud ships entering the imperial capital around the imperial capital, and many cloud ships sailing out of the imperial capital.
Ye Xuan looked at the scene in the sky and said softly: "It's so lively!"
Lu Xiaoran smiled and said: "It will be more lively after entering!"
Ye Xuan nodded, he was also a little curious about the imperial capital in front of him.
The cloud boat suddenly stopped when it was still almost a thousand feet away from the imperial capital, and then slowly fell. Below the cloud boat was a huge river. In the river, there were at least dozens of cloud boats parked. It was very spectacular!
At this time, a voice sounded in the field: "The emperor has arrived, please prepare to disembark, passengers!"
Ye Xuan turned around and returned to his room. Seeing that Ye Ling was still asleep, he did not wake her up, but carried her on his back to the deck of the cloud ship.
Lu Xiaoran glanced at Ye Xuan and said with a smile: "Little friend Ye Xuan, come to my mansion first!"
Ye Xuan nodded, "No need to bother me then."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the fat man Lu Ming beside him suddenly smiled, because he was bored when he came to the imperial capital alone, but now he has two companions, so he is naturally happy.
The cloud boat slowly fell, and soon, the cloud boat stopped smoothly on the river. A long ladder was erected at the edge of the cloud boat, and countless people walked down from the cloud boat.
Ye Xuan carried his sister off the cloud boat and followed Lu Xiaoran towards the city gate not far away.
On the cloud boat, Han Xiangmeng looked at Ye Xuan's back and said softly: "I'm afraid this Cangmu Academy will not be peaceful."
Beside Han Xiangmeng, an old man said in a deep voice: "Why don't you show your kindness to him, Miss?"
Han Xiangmeng shook his head, "I have already missed the best opportunity. If I try to make friends now, I am just humiliating myself."
As she said that, she looked up at the imperial capital in the distance and said softly, "Now the only way to have a glimmer of hope is to join Cangmu Academy..."
...
Under the gate of the imperial capital, Ye Xuan looked at the city gate in front of him and felt quite emotional. At this moment, he realized how small Qingcheng was. The gate of Qingcheng was not one-tenth as big as the gate in front of him!
This is the real city. Qingcheng is not even a city at all!
After entering the city gate, Ye Xuan's first feeling was: it was huge. The avenue under his feet was at least twenty feet wide, and the surrounding buildings were well-proportioned without any sense of blockage. It looked extremely comfortable. The second feeling was that it was lively.
There was a lot of traffic and a lot of people talking. If you spoke softly, you might not even be heard.
At this time, Ye Ling also woke up.
Ye Ling looked around in amazement, "Brother, this place is much more lively than our Qingcheng!"
Ye Xuan smiled, then looked at Lu Xiaoran, "Senior Lu, where is Cangmu Academy?"
Lu Xiaoran smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, little friend. Cangmu Academy will only start recruiting students in about ten days. At this stage, Cangmu Academy is not open to the public, so there is no point in going now.
How about staying in my mansion first, then recuperating for a few days, and then going to Cangmu Academy with Quanzi when you are fully prepared?"
Ye Xuan nodded, "Of course it's good!"
Under the leadership of Lu Xiaoran, the group came to a mansion. The mansion was very large and luxurious, which was normal. Lu Xiaoran was the lord of the city after all.
Lu Xiaoran arranged a separate courtyard for Ye Xuan brother and sister, and also arranged three maids, which made Ye Xuan feel a little embarrassed.
After entering the courtyard, less than half an hour later, Ye Ling fell asleep again.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan's heart suddenly sank.
Out of twelve hours a day, Ye Ling may sleep for nine of them!
This is definitely not normal!
After covering Ye Ling with a quilt, Ye Xuan left the room and came to the courtyard.
Ten days or so!
This Cangmu Academy is now his hope.
However, he is still a little worried, because he has not yet reached the air-bending realm, and the minimum requirement for admission to Cangmu Academy is the air-bending realm!
As if thinking of something, he took out a white jade pendant, which was given to him by An Lanxiu. If it didn't work, he would have to use this jade pendant, although he really wanted to enter Cangmu Academy on his own strength.
!
Spirit sword!
Ye Xuan knew that after entering Cangmu Academy, he would have to start working on the spiritual sword.
He is different from others. If he wants to improve his realm, he can only find a spiritual sword to devour it. And how precious is a spiritual sword? Even if there is one, how expensive is it? With his current worth, he may not even be able to buy one.
Get up!
Now he deeply realizes how difficult it is for ordinary people to practice cultivation!
Practice!
Ye Xuan entered the Prison Tower. He was not sparring with the shadow. The shadow was no longer his opponent. What he had to do now was to truly master the fighting spirit. He did not fully understand this illusory fighting spirit!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there were less than two days left before Cangmu Academy’s enrollment.
In the Prison Tower, Ye Xuan clenched his fists, and an invisible force was constantly vibrating above his fists.
Fighting spirit!
Now, he doesn't need to rely on a single sword to determine life and death in order to fight against the strong men in the Volleyball Realm. Now he can fight with the Volleyball Realm just by relying on his fighting spirit. However, he doesn't know if he can beat him.
The only pity is that what he comprehended is not the sword intention, otherwise, he would really have no pressure when facing a strong man in the volleying realm now!
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan left the Prison Tower.
Because Lu Xiaoran came to their small courtyard and saw Ye Xuan, Lu Xiaoran smiled and said: "What's your habit of living in these days, little friend?"
Ye Xuan smiled and then said: "To be honest, my sister and I have never lived in such a nice place!"
Lu Xiaoran laughed, "My little friend, you are really good at joking. By the way, there is a banquet tonight. If you have time, little friend, you can take your sister and go with me."
"banquet?"
Ye Xuan was stunned, and then asked, "What kind of banquet?"
Lu Xiaoran smiled and said: "There is a banquet held by the eldest prince of the imperial capital. Every time Cangmu Academy recruits students, geniuses from all over the Jiang Kingdom will come to the imperial capital. Naturally, the royal family of the Jiang Kingdom will not despise these geniuses. Therefore, Your Majesty, the King of the Kingdom,
A prince will be sent to receive these geniuses on his behalf."
Ye Xuan pondered slightly, and then said: "I guess not everyone can participate, right?"
Lu Xiaoran nodded, "This is natural. Only those with status and strength are qualified to participate in this banquet. In other words, anyone who can participate in this banquet will almost 100% be able to enter Cangmu Academy. Otherwise,
, the higher ups will not invite them."
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly, "Senior, I didn't receive the invitation!"
Lu Xiaoran said sternly: "Little friend, you can go with me. As for invitations, I can just invite you. If possible, it would be better to go there. The only ones who go are the genius monsters of this year.
, if you can make some friends, it will be good for you, what do you think?"
Ye Xuan thought for a while, then nodded.
As Lu Xiaoran said, it is good to make some friends. Sword cultivators do not have to be alone. Moreover, he also wants to see Jiang Guo's genius monster!
Lu Xiaoran nodded and said with a smile: "Then please prepare, little friend, we will set off later!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ye Xuan returned to the room, and at this time, Ye Ling also woke up.
Ye Xuan walked up to Ye Ling. He gently rubbed Ye Ling's cheek and said softly: "Don't sleep later, I will take you to eat and drink!"
Ye Ling blinked, then smiled brightly, "Okay!"
Ye Xuan gently scratched Ye Ling's little nose, "Go and wash your face, we'll leave right away!"
Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoran left the mansion with Ye Xuan, brother, sister and a group of people. Soon, they came to a restaurant in the center of the city.
Xiankelou!
Xianke Building can be said to be the largest restaurant in the imperial capital. It covers an area of nearly a thousand square meters and has six floors. The outer layer is made of gold and is extremely luxurious. And this restaurant is the property of Zuixian Building.
Seeing this restaurant, Ye Xuan brother and sister were shocked.
Where have they ever seen such a big and luxurious restaurant?
Not to mention them, even the little fat man Lu Ming was a little shocked. There is no such a big restaurant in Qianshan City.
Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Lu Xiaoran laughed, "This is not the biggest one. If you go out and take a look more in the future, you will find that the world is so big and full of wonders!"
Ye Xuan nodded, he was convinced of this!
Fortunately, he left Qingcheng, otherwise, he would have spent his whole life sitting in a well watching the sky!
Lu Xiaoran led the three of them into the Xianke Tower, and a beautiful woman immediately came over to greet him, "But City Lord Lu?"
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
The woman smiled sweetly, "There is still half an hour before the banquet, and the eldest prince has already arranged some 'entertainment' activities for City Master Lu. City Master Lu, please give it a try?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoran's face turned slightly red, and he shook his head quickly, "No, take me to see the eldest prince."
The woman nodded and led Lu Xiaoran and Ye Xuan upstairs. When they reached the fourth floor, the Ye Xuan brothers and sisters were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The fourth floor is like a square, very big, bigger than their entire Ye family, and inside, it is extremely luxurious, surrounded by splendor, like a palace, and even the feet are covered with a thick layer of animal skins.
It's soft when you step on it and extremely comfortable.
"Wow!"
On the side, the little fat man Lu Ming suddenly stepped on the animal skin under his feet and exclaimed: "Dad, this is Red Tiger's animal skin. This animal skin costs at least hundreds of gold coins. There are at least tens of thousands of them here."
...Damn it, this Zuixian Tower is richer than our family!"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan and Ye Ling looked at each other. Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled, "Poverty limits my imagination!"
Lu Xiaoran smiled and said, "Little friend, this Zuixian Tower is as rich as any other country. Even the royal family is not as rich as them."
As he spoke, he glanced into the distance, and then said, "Little friend, wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the distance.
At this moment, a young man came over. The young man hugged Ye Xuan and said, "Is this brother just here?"
Ye Xuan nodded, cupped his fists and returned the salute, "Just arrived!"
The young man smiled and said: "I am the eldest son of the Yu family in Xiachuan City, Yu Buer. May I ask who your brother is?"
Ye Xuan smiled and said: "Qingcheng Ye Xuan, a casual cultivator!"
"Rogue cultivator?"
The young man was slightly startled, then he looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Are you a casual cultivator?"
Ye Xuan nodded, "Exactly!"
The young man's expression turned cold, "Excuse me."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ye Xuan: "......"
The young man walked aside and clasped his fists at one of the men, "The eldest son of the Yu family in Xiachuan City is Yu Buer, who is your brother?"
The man clasped his fists and returned the salute, "I'm here with Mo Xiao, the eldest son of the Mo family in Xiayue City!"
Hearing this, the young man was immediately shocked, "Is this the Mo family that owns dozens of gold mines?"
The man nodded, "Exactly!"
The young man took the man's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, you and I hit it off right away today. Come on, let's have a few drinks..."
