The Prodigies War

What Lintian didn't expect was that the old man wanted to take him to Yanxia City, which was also the capital of southwest provinces!

"For the practitioners of the whole empire, whether they are the children of the upper class or the poor children from the bottom, the national examination examination is relatively the most fair and fair talent selection system."

The old man seemed to see Lintian's doubts and explained patiently.

"By seizing this opportunity, the poor can leap forward and rise up, so as to get rid of the shackles of poor birth. Similarly, in the examination, we can also select real pillars from the noble children, rather than just a dandy who knows nothing but luxury and wine."

"When you can enter Qinglu college one day, you may have the mind and strength to understand some truth."

Lintian said in his heart, "senior, what's the truth?"

The old man smiled. There was a sense of secrecy in his eyes: "what truth you want, the truth is what."

Lintian was stunned and lost in thought.

His mood is a little restless. Does the old man already know something?

Lintian suddenly remembered that when he was facing the city in the East, the old man said that the dark night queen had gone to the depths of 3000 mountains to find the whereabouts of an old man.

But when they arrived, the place where the old man lived had been destroyed, leaving no clue.

At that time, Lintian suspected that the place they wanted to find was the mine prison where they had lived, but he was not sure.

Now, after listening to the old man's thought-provoking words, Lintian couldn't help thinking. He vaguely felt that the old man seemed to know something in front of him.

Similarly, Lintian was still not sure.

He couldn't ask because there were too many things involved in the mine prison, not only Mr. Lu, but also Lintian's own life experience and enemies!

The old man stopped talking. He took out a snow-white handkerchief and gently and seriously wiped a black pendant that looked like an ancient sword, but was only three inches in size.

The old man's kind and old face was full of concentration, solemnity and seriousness, which unconsciously attracted Lintian's attention.

Lintian didn't know that this sword shaped black pendant also had a name that shocked the world thousands of years ago - "sigh forever"!

This is the name of a holy stripe battle suit.

For thousands of years, few people have known.

……

Three days later.

Yanxia city.

As the capital city of the southwest province of the Empire, Yanxia city can be called a prosperous and prosperous city, with millions of people. With its huge scale and dense population, it is far from being comparable to the border city of donglincheng.

Night.

In a remote and old courtyard in Yanxia City, Lintian looked at the clean and new room, and then he felt like a home.

In the evening of that day, the old man left and left the house that had been prepared for Lintian. There were no servants or maidservants. Lintian had to clean the small courtyard by himself.

The small courtyard was small, but it was better than quiet. Lintian was satisfied to have such a free residence in the Yanxia city with an inch of land and an inch of gold.

However, Lintian had to face a real problem. It was not enough to have a place to live. The resources needed for his daily cultivation and the materials needed for his daily life needed to be solved urgently.

After leaving the blood killing camp, no one provided all this for free.

Lintian had already counted his belongings, 200 gold coins, a blue wave saber, two bottles of condensation pills and some miscellaneous spiritual materials.

There is nothing else.

In the past, this wealth may be enough for Lintian's monthly expenses, but for Lintian, who now has vigorous cultivation, this wealth is a drop in the bucket to maintain his cultivation and life.

In other words, after arriving at Yanxia City, Lintian had to face an extremely realistic problem - making money!

"The provincial examination will begin in September, that is to say, I have to live in Yanxia city for nearly half a year..."

Lintian thought silently for a moment, then he got up and planned to go out first to get familiar with the environment of Yanxia city.

"Well, boy, wait."

Suddenly, a tired and lazy voice sounded in the corner.

Looking carefully, a burly figure is lying there. He has a rough appearance, his cheeks are red, his drunk eyes are bleary, his chest as hard as fine steel is exposed, and he looks like a down and out drunkard.

This man is Xuejin, of course. After sending Lintian here, he was also left. According to the old man, Xuejin will take care of Lintian's daily life before the end of the provincial examination.

According to the truth, this arrangement was excellent, but Lintian didn't have any idea about it now.

Xuejin drank and slept since he entered the courtyard. Let alone let him take care of Lintian's daily life. It's a blessing not to cause trouble to Lintian.

"What's up?" Lintian asked.

"Hey, hey, remember to bring me a jar of wine when you come back. The stronger it is, the better. I remember that there is a very famous liquor in Yanxia City, which seems to be called 'soul burning'. Well, it should be that name..."

Xuejin muttered for most of the day, looking like a drunk talking in his sleep.

"OK, but Lao Jin, take it easy. Don't run out and make trouble when you're drunk." Lintian said helplessly.

Last time Xuejin became crazy and even the imperial warship dared to collide. Lintian had to worry about whether this guy would tear down the yard once he was crazy about drinking.

"Don't be a bitch. Hurry up. I've been drunk for 30 years, but I haven't done anything stupid." Yell snow impatiently.

Lin sighed, shook his head and walked out of the courtyard.

……

The hazy city in the night is like a city that never sleeps. The lights are bright, like a fire dragon, illuminating half of the night sky.

On the spacious streets as dense as cobwebs, there are rows of buildings. Even at night, it is still a busy scene with traffic and pedestrians.

Very prosperous!

One year later, he returned to the city again, which made Lintian a little uncomfortable.

Everything in the blood killing camp is boring and calm. Every day, in addition to training, fighting and bloody war, it is cultivation and assessment.

Now, walking in the bustling street, looking at the passers-by and listening to all kinds of noisy voices in the air, Lintian felt like an afterlife.

Soon Lintian shook his head and abandoned his thoughts.

First, he went to a grocery store to buy some daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt and Spirit Valley spirit vegetables. Then he turned to a firm specializing in selling spirit materials and bought some finished spirit ink and spirit materials. Just doing these things, he spent 20 gold coins.

Soon, he spent another 50 gold coins to buy a bottle of 60 "jade Yun Gang pills". Although the price was extremely expensive, it was indispensable for cultivation.

When he ran all over the street for seven days and finally bought a jar of "soul burning" wine from an unknown pub, Lintian had spent about half of his wealth, leaving only a few hundred gold coins.

Lintian could not help feeling a little painful, and realized how high the price of Yanxia city was.

After all this, Lintian unknowingly came to the center of Yanxia City, where towering gorgeous buildings gathered all kinds of famous chambers of Commerce, businesses and entertainment places, such as brothels, taverns, gladiators and so on.

Places like this are not affordable for ordinary practitioners at all. Just look at the dress of pedestrians coming and going on the streets. Each one is either rich or expensive.

Lintian was not in the mood to wander around now. He was about to leave. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a magnificent building in the distance.

The building is antique and hundreds of feet high. Standing there, it is like a towering mountain.

At this time, on the surface of the building, a huge and incomparable light curtain emerged. In the light curtain, a beautiful woman with meticulous expression and beautiful face was broadcasting news.

"According to reliable information, three days ago, there was a news from the governor's office that Governor Liu Wujun would personally serve as the examiner in the provincial examination in September. This news caused a great shock."

"Yesterday, the battlefield of the western frontier of the Empire sent a good report. After half a month of fierce battle, the iron blood army successfully defeated the 30000 elite army of the wuman clan!"

"Early this morning, the imperial seminary announced that a new generation of small Ziying warships will be launched soon. According to reliable information analysis, the power of the new generation of Ziying warships will break the previous record and become another sharp weapon of the Empire."

The beautiful woman is dignified and expressionless, and Gujing doesn't wave, "the news of cultivation will be broadcast below. Today's most eye-catching news is undoubtedly..."

Lintian looked up and looked at the light curtain quietly.

This light curtain is called "spirit transmission light curtain". In the final analysis, it is actually a large phantom spirit array. The light effect is very simple, which is to spread news.

But the cost of this light curtain is extremely expensive. It is a luxury. It costs tens of thousands of gold coins every day.

This huge price, let alone ordinary forces, is difficult to maintain even some top forces. Only imperial officials have such a big hand to maintain the normal operation of a "spiritual light curtain".

Lintian had heard before that in the capital cities of the 34 provinces of the Empire, each had such a "spirit light curtain", which could exchange information with each other and spread the events around the Empire at the first time.

At that time, Lintian felt very magical, but when he saw this scene with his own eyes, Lintian was relieved. As a holy tattoo master, he naturally understood the essence and mystery of this "spiritual light curtain".

Soon Lintian's eyes narrowed and he was attracted by a message——

"It is said that Lian Fei, the son-in-law of Yao Tuohai, who overhauled the cave in Qingfeng County, successfully condensed the second grade Lingli pool when he broke through the Rengang territory a few days ago. He is known as another genius in Qingfeng County and caused a great sensation in the local area. According to the analysis, Lian Fei will also participate in the provincial test assessment in September..."
