Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 252: Observation

??

Unknowingly, Li Yuanqing had been in Rong City for three days.

In the past three days, he had been immersed in the huge library every day. He read many books and understood most of the past of the humans in the Catacombs.

For some reason, Li Yuanqing felt refreshed after reading these books, especially the moment he walked out of the library. He felt so comfortable all over. He opened his arms and took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air.

Hall Master Wang followed behind him.

“Young Master Li, you’ve read most of the books in the library these few days. As for the First Elder’s belongings, I’m afraid we can’t organize them in a short period of time. We can only wait for a few more days.”

It was not that he did not want to give Li Yuanqing the relics left behind by Elder Zhao. It was just that he had to go through a series of complicated checks and internal checks before Li Yuanqing could observe them.

However, being able to agree to this matter was enough to show their sincerity. Such an item had always been an extremely confidential item within their organization. They would not hand it over to others unless they had no choice.

Although he did not find out where the key came from, he had gained a lot.

Li Yuanqing was also satisfied with this trip. He had indeed stayed here for long enough.

“Thank you, Hall Master Wang.”

“Young Master, what are you saying? Young Master Li is an honored guest of Rong City. If I show any disrespect, the citizens of Rong City will skin me alive.”

Hall Master Wang looked around. It was still early and it was still cold outside. There was no one around. If a large group of people had gathered outside a few days ago and wanted to see Li Yuanqing, they would have been blocked by him.

“Young Master, what do you plan to do now? Why don’t I bring you around to take a look?” Hall Master Wang smiled and suggested, “Young Master, you might not know this, but ever since the City Lord took over, she has done a lot of construction in Rong City. Now, not only are there many training rooms, but there are also many large arenas that can allow everyone to increase their strength and train their actual combat skills. It’s very practical.”

When Li Yuanqing heard that there was such an interesting thing, he was interested in going over to observe.

Firstly, there was no mature system in Ping City. Although the human race was in charge now and everything was thriving, they could not establish a complete system for cultivation.

These humans in Rong City must have the experience of their ancestors and would definitely have many methods worth learning.

“That sounds quite interesting.”

Hall Master Wang was originally just probing. When he heard that Li Yuanqing was really interested in this matter, he immediately spoke excitedly.

“Young Master, you haven’t seen our Rong City. Those healthy children are all energetic and abnormally hard working every day.” Hall Master Wang introduced, “That training room is a private place. There’s nothing to see, but those combat arenas are very different. There are many people fighting every day. The scene is quite spectacular and worth seeing.”

“Then please lead the way.”

“Young Master Li, please!”

In order to protect Li Yuanqing’s whereabouts from being leaked, the two of them even specially disguised themselves. Hall Master Wang put a bamboo hat on Li Yuanqing and covered his face tightly. He was also wearing a cloak that covered his entire body. No one could not see anything.

After finishing all of this, Hall Master Wang nodded in satisfaction, as if he was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

“Young Master, we don’t have to be afraid of being recognized when we go out now.”

Hall Master Wang did not dress up specially. He just looked ordinary. Li Yuanqing did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw how tightly wrapped he was.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing seemed a little dissatisfied, Hall Master Wang hurriedly explained, “Young Master Li, if you don’t like it, take it off. I’ll find two people to come over later and surround them as security. This is fine too.”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly stopped Hall Master Wang. “Hall Master Wang, don’t trouble yourself. Let’s leave it at that. I think it’s quite good.”

The two of them left the library and walked along the wide street of Rong City.

The situation in Rong City was relatively unique. The entire city was separated by a mountain in the middle and was divided into the north and south.

The south was more prosperous where the City Lord Manor was. Most of the facilities were built in the south half of the city.

The north was more old-fashioned. Most of them were old-fashioned buildings, and there were even some that had thousands of years of history.

The library that Li Yuanqing had been in for the past few days was in the northern half of the city. The northern half of the city was quieter and was suitable for such a building.

Originally, this place was empty and uninhabited. It was also because of Li Yuanqing’s arrival that it was lively. Many people were specially waiting here to see Li Yuanqing, this legendary immortal.

Just as Li Yuanqing and Hall Master Wang left, they saw many people beside them. They had dug a cave in the forest and used it as a cave abode. They had been waiting here for a long time. Their perseverance was really tenacious.

“Young Master Li, look, everyone admires you very much. You’re a famous person in this city now. I didn’t lie to you, right?”

In just a few days, caves had been dug out on the mountain. They looked very comical and strange. However, he could indeed see everyone’s intentions.

“Why didn’t the City Lord inform everyone and ask everyone to disperse? Don’t let them wait here bitterly. Why did they have to go to such trouble?”

Hall Master Wang looked at Li Yuanqing helplessly and replied, “Young Master Li, you’re making it sound too easy. You don’t know how many followers you have now. They insist on seeing you. If they don’t see you, they’ll refuse to leave no matter what, the City Lord really has no choice.”

He had been careless this time and did not hide his identity well, which was why he ended up in such a situation.

The two of them left the library one after another. They crossed the mountain and headed straight for the southern district.

This southern district was the place Li Yuanqing had always seen. The streets here were wide and the buildings were bright. Many of them have been built recently.

Compared to the situation in the northern half of the city, there seemed to be many more buildings. Moreover, there were several areas where cultivation rooms were specially built, as well as the martial arts arena that was filled with rings.

There was also a complete mineral vein under Rong City.

This phosphate mine was the lifeblood of these demons for so many years. However, they did not expect that they would decline so quickly. Before they could sell this piece and destroy it, it was occupied by humans.

The cultivation area was close to the City Lord Manor. The City Lord Manor was originally built on the mineral vein.

The training area was at the periphery of the cultivation area. There were some open-air arenas and many tall buildings.

The open-air arenas were all built by the City Lord Manor. Most of them were provided for free and the City Lord Manor carried out daily maintenance. These were also the choices of most people.

At a glance, there were probably hundreds of small arenas at the side. Half of them were already occupied, and everyone was practicing their punches and kicks in full swing.

“Those large training rooms are all privately built, and the cost is relatively high. Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators used these small arenas on the periphery. The effect? They’re all about the same. Of course, if their strength reaches a certain level, these small arenas will not be allowed to be used anymore.”

“Around which level?”

Hall Master Wang replied very neatly, “Generally speaking, only entry-level cultivators below the Grotto-Heaven realm are allowed to cultivate here. Those who exceed this level are not allowed.”

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly. He had also briefly observed this place just now. The array formation here was not very strong. It was indeed enough to deal with Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivators, but it was probably not enough to deter those people with higher cultivation.

The two of them casually arrived beside an arena and stopped to observe the competition between the two children.

These two children’s strengths were very ordinary. They could only be said to have just started and had yet to step into the Grotto-Heaven Realm. At this moment, their expressions were very solemn as they stared at each other, as if this was a life-and-death battle.

“You little bastard, you asked for it. If you die here, no one will collect your corpse!” One of the children had a stronger aura. He stared coldly at the little fellow opposite him and warned. This child’s face was paler and his body was cleaner. His status was indeed higher than his opponent.

As for the opponent in front of him, not only was the spiritual energy in his body very chaotic, but his body was also very thin. His spiritual energy could not compare to the other party, and even his physical strength was completely incomparable. This seemed to be a battle with no suspense.

Most of the onlookers were here to watch the show and see what these two children could do.

“I say, are you two children still going to fight? You pretend to sign the life and death contract, but you didn’t attack.”

“What’s the hurry? The two children are fighting here, and you’re just watching the show. Why are you talking so much?”

“What’s wrong with that? This child should have been educated since she was young. He’s dawdling here now. What will he look like when he grows up? How should I put it?”

“Brother, you’re right. Those who seize the initiative on the battlefield often can keep their lives. It’s indeed not good to dawdle like this.”

These people were talking happily, so they looked to the side. A strange person had stood beside them at some point. He was wearing a big bamboo hat and a cloak that wrapped around his entire body. It was unknown why he was unpresentable or not.

Hall Master Wang was clearly standing beside this person. Why was he here?

“Isn’t this Hall Master Wang? Why didn’t you stay in your library today? Why did you come outside? You don’t have to chase people away today?”

Hearing his words, everyone turned around and realized that it was Hall Master Wang.

“Aiyo, it’s really Hall Master Wang. I thought someone was bragging again. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

The two of them had just arrived when they were immediately caught by someone. Hall Master Wang looked a little depressed. Li Yuanqing was standing beside him, so he could not say anything too harsh to these people.

He could only answer strangely, “Why? Are you suddenly concerned about me? Aren’t you all watching the battle in the arena?”

The news of Hall Master Wang chasing them away had spread throughout Rong City. Everyone knew what he had done.

The two of them, who were originally joining in the fun, did not expect that the main character would suddenly be surrounded in the middle and kept teasing him. The scene became a little awkward.

That person smiled at Hall Master Wang and said, “When you chased my brother away from your library a few days ago, your words were very unpleasant. Why are you talking so softly like a little lady today?”

“Hahaha, he really looks like a little lady.”

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard the happy part.

Hall Master Wang could not stand it anymore, but he could not be bothered to explain too much to them. He pulled Li Yuanqing and tried to walk out.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanqing stood there without moving. His gaze only landed on the two children on the stage. The two children still did not move.

The stronger child was even more cautious. He had been observing his opponent and did not dare to attack rashly, afraid that he would be careless.

The weaker child knew very well that there was still a huge gap between him and the other party if he fought head-on. Therefore, he stayed where he was and waited carefully, waiting for that opportunity.

Both of them were waiting for the other to attack.

They looked at each other, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Unknowingly, half an hour had passed, but no one was willing to make the first move.

The few people outside looked at Hall Master Wang. They were quite pleased when they saw Hall Master Wang being left behind by his companion. They teased, “Hall Master Wang, where are you going? It’s not easy for everyone to see you here. You’re a famous person. Can’t you let everyone look at you for a while longer? When you return to the library and secretly hide again, we won’t be able to see you. Then how regretful will we be?”

In the end, he was just a small hall master. He did not have any real power in his hands, which was why these fellows could laugh at him openly.

However, Li Yuanqing did not seem to feel anything. He continued to stare at the stage.

“Hurry up and attack!” He suddenly spoke, clearly to the thin child standing on the right.

The onlookers turned their heads back in confusion to look at the changes in the arena.

At this moment, the moment Li Yuanqing said this, the thin child standing on the stage suddenly moved his feet. A short rod appeared in his hand and he slashed at his opponent in front of him.
