Legend of the Monster
Chapters 186. Luan City
After carefully pondering all the risks he had to face, Ling Tian said softly to Wei Ziqing, "Uncle Wei! Do you have a map showing the direction to the Poison Mist Sect?"
"I have it, Young Master!" Wei Ziqing hurriedly took out a paper scroll from her Space Ring then immediately gave it to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian watched the contents in the map quickly, then returned it again when he had already memorized everything.
"Young Master! If you want to go to the Poison Mist Sect, may I come with you as well?" wei Ziqing asked in a cautious tone.
"I know you want to avenge you on the Poison Mist Sect. But for now I can't take you, Uncle Wei. It is very dangerous and even I myself am not sure whether to succeed in obtaining the Star Spirit Grass within that Sect," Ling Tian said.
"You better keep cultivating and practicing here with the techniques I have taught you. When anyone asks, just tell them that I went away for a few days to seclude myself," Ling Tian continued again and instantly disappeared from his place. He darted flying into the sky and headed towards the east, as the map had shown, which was towards the Poison Mist Sect.
The distance between the Primordial City and the Poison Mist Sect was extremely far. With Ling Tian's current cultivation level, he needed ten days of time despite having used his full speed.
When Ling Tian had already approached the territory of the Poison Mist Sect, he saw a city that was as large as Primordial City. Very quickly he slid down and walked towards the city in front of him.
The city is called Luan City which means City of Chaos. This city was also where Wei Ziqing came from with her clan. Until now the name of the Wei clan still remained stored in everyone's minds. Because, it would be a warning against them to never dare offend the people from the Poison Mist Sect.
After paying a fee to the guards at the gate, Ling Tian casually walked into Luan City. The atmosphere in the city was very crowded and in this city also allowed Spirit Beasts to freely roam with their Master, just like the ones in the Primordial City.
First of all Ling Tian headed to a very large inn and also had a restaurant inside. Before acting, Ling Tian first wanted to search for information on the Poison Mist Sect.
"Brother Lu! What about your preparations for the competition to be held in five days?"
"Don't worry! I have prepared everything. What about you, brother Chang?"
"I am ready, brother Lu! This year's competition is fierce and more and more people are eager to follow suit. Being part of the Poison Mist Sect was everyone's wishful thinking."
"Hmmm ... Although the competition is very difficult, but I will try my best to reach the top ten. Because, entering the Poison Mist Sect is a blessing for our clan as well."
"Last year the Poison Mist Sect received 20 people to become members of its Sect. Now they reduce their quota and will only accept ten people, which makes this competition even harder to compete."
"Haha ... Don't be so confident! The higher your wishful thinking, the more painful it will be if you fall."
A voice with a sneering tone instantly cut through the conversation of the two cultivators who were discussing about the competition that the Poison Mist Sect would hold in recruiting its Sect members.
"You!"
"Calm down, brother Lu! He was the Young Master of the Shen clan, named Shen Tu Jiang. Don't provoke it!" The cultivator who was summoned as brother Chang said in a half-snouted tone, while holding his friend who was about to stand up from his chair when he heard the mockery of the people who were sitting not far from the two of them.
"Haha ... It's best to know your place first before dreaming of getting the top ten of the competition to be held in five days."
"Kinki ... You better get back to training! Maybe next year you guys will have a chance to enter the Poison Mist Sect."
Hearing the mockery that came out of the mouth of the young man named Shen Tu Jiang and his friends who also sat with him, the two young men who were summoned as brother Lu and brother Chang could only clench their teeth and clench their hands tightly to hold the anger in their hearts.
Ling Tian who was inside the restaurant continued to listen to the chatter of the surrounding people while enjoying his tea leisurely. From what he heard, he finally knew that five more days the Poison Mist Sect would hold a competition for the young geniuses in Luan City to choose ten people to take and serve as disciples within their sect.
Luan City grew frenzied with the arrival of cultivators from its own various regions who aimed to enter the competition held within that once a year. They were all very excited and excited to take part in the event.
That was because the Poison Mist Sect was also the largest and number one sect in the Luan City region. Thus, for cultivators who managed to become disciples in the Poison Mist Sect would obtain resources greater than those given or provided by their own clans.
Although they all knew that in order to obtain such resources had to go through competition or take chances from a mission that resulted in a contribution to the sect. However, it remained that there were still many cultivators who wanted to enter that competition. Because, in order to become even stronger cultivators, they would all compete for the sake of obtaining their respective resources.
Because they know so well, that 'There is no free lunch' in this cruel world. If they want to have a very high strength or cultivation level, then they must work and try harder to realize their wishes.
Ling Tian continued to gather the information he wanted to know through the conversation from the people inside the restaurant. After feeling enough, he finally left the restaurant and returned to his room.
"Hmmm ... Maybe I should also take part in that competition. It's better than having to act rashly without knowing what danger will be waiting for me if I enter directly into the Poison Mist Sect," Ling Tian murmured as he lay on his bed. "Reph ... Competition huh?! Alright, for the sake of the Star Spirit Grass, I will come play with those genius cultivators." A faint smile rang out from Ling Tian's lips. Then he closed his eyes slowly.
While waiting for the day of the competition, Ling Tian sometimes went out for a walk to see the situation that existed within Luan City. He also bought objects that he thought were unique and were very good to wear by Lin Yue, Su Mei and also Jia Xiulan. Not to forget also he bought something that might look very beautiful if worn by his little daughter, Ling Yuemeilan.
"Hufft!" a subtle sigh came out from Ling Tian's mouth when he remembered all of them, including for his two parents who were in the Low-Level Sky Continent.
A deep longing emanated clearly from his eyes. This was also what made Ling Tian want to immediately increase his strength to the Sky Star stage. Because only by reaching cultivation at the level of the Sky Star was he able to create a Teleportation Formation to be able to return to the Low-Level Sky Continent.
Almost two years had passed counting the time since he left the City of a Thousand Flowers. If only the resources needed to increase his cultivation were the same as the resources required by the other cultivators, then, it was possible that Ling Tian's current cultivation was already at the Sky Star level by using the absorption speed of the Heavenly Dragon God Technique.
However, since the entire Heavenly Dragon God Technique required him to use an enormous and overwhelming amount of resources, then Ling Tian could only gradually increase his strength. Because, resources for himself were still very rare in the Intermediate Sky Continent.
Time goes on fast. There was no feeling the day of the competition in choosing genius cultivators to become disciples of the Poison Mist Sect had arrived.

PHRASE “No free lunch” is said to be a proverb originating from the Chinese nation. When interpreted at a glance, it shows how hard life that someone must do. Human relations with each other are judged by the existence of mutual benefits.
