The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 54
Ling Han did not feel this was strange in any way.
From the very beginning, Liu Yu Tong was extremely talented in the field of martial arts. It was absurd that he still had not managed to form Sword Qi. Now that he had made a breakthrough in this field, it seemed like the potential he had gathered was radiating out at once, producing excellent results.
However, the third flash of Sword Qi would not be easily formed.
For Liu Yu Tong, he was already content to have two flashes by the age of eighteen and step into the ranks of the young ruler. Moreover, he could be considered a stronger and stronger young ruler.
. . . The general level of martial arts in the Rain Country was too low. You will be praised as a ruler after you successfully form a Saber or Sword Qi.
When the New Year arrived, all the Ling Clan branch families returned to the Main Clan Residence to welcome the arrival of spring together.
Normally, these external branch families had their own residences outside the Main Clan Residence and were responsible for managing the various clan businesses. Most of them are ordinary people. Only a few had stepped onto the path of cultivation. After all, for every ten people there was only one person who actually had a Spirit Base.
"Sister Han!" A little girl named Ling Zi Xuan continued to follow Ling Han around. After the New Year, the little girl was only eight years old, yet she had already awakened her Spirit Base. Furthermore, it was a low-level Earth-level Spirit Base. According to the rules of the clan, he was qualified to be enrolled in Grey Cloud Academy, and the clan would provide tuition fees as well as cultivation resources.
Everyone knows that you will not be able to protect your wealth if you do not have enough power. As a result, each clan would carefully nurture a clan that was found to be talented by becoming a martial artist. If a genius appeared among this clan, it would also be a source of pride for the clan.
Just like the Eight Great Clans of the imperial city – they were all just small clans who grew up by choosing such a policy.
There were three members of the Ling Clan who had enrolled in Grey Cloud Academy before. Other than Ling Han and Ling Mu Yun, there was another one named Ling Zhi Dao. However, since he was now too old, after the New Year, he would no longer enter the academy. Instead, he would join the Clan Guards. After several years of gaining experience, he would be promoted to Assistant Captain and then Captain.
Such an important post naturally had to be handed over to the clan members for the sake of safety.
Meanwhile, when Ling Zi Xuan woke up, after the New Year, he would start attending the Gray Cloud Academy.
However, Ling Han had other plans.
He couldn't possibly stay in the Ling Clan forever. He wanted to rise to the peak of martial arts in the future, so the Rain Country was too small for him. As a result, before he left, he needed to nurture as many talented people as possible to help his father alleviate some of his worries.
He had decided to take Ling Zi Xuan to the Imperial City and enroll her in Hu Yang Academy.
Ling Dong Xing had earned a place of registration in Hu Yang Academy previously, and Ling Han would definitely be able to rank among the top fifty participants in the Da Yuan Tournament. This way, their clan would have two places.
Of course, she did not intend to be the nanny of the girl. He would definitely let his parents follow him to the Imperial City to take care of his daily needs.
"Why are you crying again?" Ling Han smiled, as he picked up the little girl.
"Da Xiong is bullying Xuan Xuan!" The little girl said, filled with complaints. "Sister Han, you helped Xuan Xuan beat him up!"
Ling Han laughed out loud, patted the little girl's head, and said, "You and Da Xiong are both members of the Ling Clan, so you should help and support each other. Our boxing should be aimed at outsiders, and not used to beat our own people. "
"But he said Xuan Xuan was ugly!" The little girl said, pouting.
"Xuan Xuan our family is very beautiful. You are now a small beauty and in the future, you will become an extraordinary beauty. Da Xiong is just jealous of you!" Ling Han said, smiling.
The little girl was instantly cheered by such praise, and clapping her hands, she said, "Xuan Xuan is the most beautiful girl in the world!" After thinking for a moment, she realized this was a bit too arrogant, so she changed her words and said, "Sister Yu Tong is the most beautiful, Xuan Xuan is the second most beautiful."
"Sister Yu Tong, when did you and Big Brother Han get married?" The little girl asked innocently, her head tilted.
Liu Yu Tong instantly blushed on this. He quickly turned around and ran away, causing Ling Zi Xuan to feel extremely confused. What the hell is going on?
"Xuan Xuan, you have frightened my wife, how are you going to compensate me?" Ling Han deliberately frowned and said.
Ling Zi Yuan bit her fingernails, thought for a while, and said comfortably to Ling Han, "Sister Han, Xuan Xuan Xuan will help you find a more beautiful Big Brother!" He looked very naughty when he said this.
Ling Han could not help but laugh. Kids say what they like, and are plain and adorable. It's a pity that this purity cannot be maintained forever.
After the New Year celebration, Ling Dong Xing, Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong all set out for Da Yuan City to participate in the Da Yuan Tournament.
Da Yuan City was over eight hundred miles away from Gray Cloud Town. The three of them sped up their journey, and two days later, they arrived outside Da Yuan City.
Compared to the small Cloud Gray City, Da Yuan City looked extremely imposing and majestic. The courtyard of the city spanned several tens of miles, and the city walls were about a hundred meters high. It looked like a creeping colossal beast.
There are four entrance gates to Da Yuan City – North, East, South and West Gate. Every day, there will be tourists coming from all directions to this most crowded and most crowded city within the nearest thousands of miles. There were merchants, refugees, and martial artists roaming here.
The overall level of martial arts in the city was higher than the surrounding area by an entirely new level. The current Da Yuan King was a powerful warrior of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, and according to rumors, he was also the only one in the Spiritual Ocean Tier, which possessed the highest strength and prestige.
Ling Han and his group arrived at the city gate. They do not have to be searched or go through any security checks. They only need to pay the city entrance fee – one silver coin per person. This was not too expensive for them, although for commoners, this would indeed be a huge sum.
Within the city, there were many tall and majestic buildings of varying heights stretching into the distance. It was the emblem of the king's city, mesmerizing every new visitor to the city.
Ling Dong Xing had come here a long time ago, and had even left the country before, so he naturally would not be surprised. Liu Yu Tong had come from the Imperial City, so this was an ordinary sight for him. The two of them originally thought that Ling Han would be stunned by such a huge scene, yet Ling Han seemed completely calm and unperturbed, surprising them.
They went looking for lodging. However, it seemed like many had come to the city to participate in the upcoming Da Yuan Tournament, and practically every inn was full. They walked for more than half a day, but still had not managed to find a place of accommodation.
"Yes, Grandmaster Ling!" They had been strolling the main streets when they heard a surprised voice calling out. A white-haired old man walked towards them. He was Zhu He Xin.
"So you're here," Ling Han said, smiling.
"Grandmaster Ling, I happened to receive an invitation from an old friend during the New Year, asking me to come visit. I hope Grandmaster Ling will forgive me for not paying you a visit during the New Year," Zhu He Xin bowed slightly towards the waist, a hint of fear on her face.
He had already considered Ling Han as half of his Master, so he would naturally be afraid that he had caused Ling Han displeasure.
Ling Han shook his head and smiled, and said, "You don't need to call me Grandmaster, you can call me by my name in the future." In this life, he had already decided to start from a minor character and walk steadily and firmly, battling against the so-called geniuses to improve himself.
Otherwise, if he continued to be an Alchemist Grandmaster, then due to the grand and grand status bestowed upon an alchemist, which genius would dare to contend with him?
"This-" Zhu He Xin shook her head continuously. He was a person who respected his master and his teachings. Ling Han had given him kindness in guiding him before, so in his heart, Ling Han was already his teacher. To directly call your teacher by his name without any kind of honor. . This is practically embarrassing!
"Don't say 'this' or 'that'. Undecidable. If you call me Grandmaster in the future, then I will really get angry," Ling Han deliberately put on a stern face and said half-jokingly.
