Chapter 272

"Brother Wang, didn't I hear you were going to join the Wuhe Sect? Why did you run here?"

"Wuhe Sect? That can only count as a backup; I want to try to see if I can get into the Bianbei Cheng Cheng Defense Army!"

"That's true, the treatment of the Bianbei Cheng Cheng Defense Army is better than the inner disciples of a first-class sect in the Yefeng Kingdom, if you can pass the exam, that would be the best!"

Two young men were talking at the corner of the street.

"This old man is a Grade Three Alchemist! An alchemist, do you understand? Is this the attitude of your Bianbei City?"

In front of a certain government office, a white-haired old man cursed with blowing beard and staring eyes.

"Alright, Master Alchemist! You are a big shot elsewhere as a Grade Three Alchemist! But look clearly, this is Bianbei City! In our City Defense Army, there are over a hundred Grade Three Alchemists, and over a dozen Grade Four Alchemists! And even the only Grade Five Alchemist in the Yefeng Kingdom, Master Gu Hai, is here, so stop putting on airs..."

"This..."

Looking at all this, Luo Tian was slightly surprised.

It seems that the few months he spent holed up at home had indeed made Bianbei City different from before.

"Little brother, are you also here to take the exam for the Bianbei Cheng Cheng Defense Army? Let me tell you, this City Defense Army is not easy to pass. If you want to pass, I suggest you sign up for our Master Wang's crash course! The crash course is seven days in total, the fee is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the pass rate for the City Defense Army is over 90%!"

Behind Luo Tian, a middle-aged woman was chattering away, promoting it to Luo Tian.

Luo Tian smiled bitterly, teleported away from the spot, and arrived at the Luo family ancestral home.

"Young Master, you're back?" Several elders stood up to welcome him after seeing Luo Tian.

"Hmm, elders, what's the situation in the city now?" Luo Tian looked at them and asked.

Several elders looked at each other and said with a smile: "The Young Master saw it? This was all Master Fu Qinglian's idea!"

"Master Fu Qinglian said that to build a top-tier power, you must have your own army! So we founded the City Defense Army! The City Defense Army is divided into three generations: old, middle, and young! The first two generations are mainly focused on immediate combat power! The youth army is focused on talent!"

"Because of the earth spirit veins and the cultivation techniques and martial arts obtained from the Canglan Sect, whether it's rogue cultivators or people from aristocratic families, they all want to send their children to the city."

"Nowadays, the old and middle generations of the City Defense Army have over 400 Sky Soaring experts, and over 30 Mystic Penetration experts!"

"And among the youth army, there is no lack of outstanding ones! Among them, there are a few who are already famous young geniuses!"

The Second Elder explained with a smile.

The Third Elder stepped forward and said: "Not only that, Master Fu Qinglian said that the spiritual energy in the city is a top-tier resource! It's even better than the cultivation secret rooms outside! So, the common people in Bianbei City can enter and exit freely, but outsiders who want to enter the city have to pay 1,000 low-grade spirit stones a day! If they don't have enough money, they will be teleported directly outside the city by the teleportation array!"

"With this income, it's not only more than enough to support the City Defense Army, but also enough for us to invite a large number of alchemists to refine elixirs for our Bianbei City!"

The Fourth Elder also added: "Young Master, I am now responsible for farming in the north of the city! I discovered that now, any piece of wasteland we reclaim in Bianbei City is a top-tier medicine field! When spirit herbs are planted, their growth speed is extremely fast; a single spirit herb's medicinal power increased in two months is comparable to a three-year-old spirit herb!"

"Moreover, those small earth spirit veins especially like to be active in the medicine fields! They even bring some extremely rare spirit herbs themselves and cultivate them on their own!"

Listening to everyone's narration, Luo Tian nodded continuously.

Unexpectedly, Fu Qinglian had such methods.

She alone had managed the entire Bianbei City in an orderly manner.

Nowadays, even leaving aside himself and a few other top combat forces, Bianbei City was already the number one power in the Yefeng Kingdom.

He just needed to be a hands-off manager.

"Very good, you guys continue to get busy." Luo Tian said, teleported away directly, and arrived at where King Jin Peng was.

"Master!"

As soon as Luo Tian appeared, King Jin Peng sensed his aura and walked out.

"Oh? In just over two months, you've already reached the 8th Stage of the Return to Ruins Realm?" Luo Tian looked at King Jin Peng, slightly surprised.

You know, for an ordinary person to want to break through to this realm, it basically takes several hundred years.

For some, it might even take a thousand years.

King Jin Peng smiled and said: "With those memories, cultivation has become much faster! Give me a few more days, and I have the confidence to break through to the 9th Stage of the Return to Ruins Realm, or even directly undergo the tribulation!"

Luo Tian nodded slightly and said: "That's good, this time going to Mount Sumeru, I won't take you. You focus on your cultivation and strive to undergo the tribulation as soon as possible."

"Yes!" King Jin Peng bowed solemnly and then immediately went into closed-door meditation.

Luo Tian went to Niu Tiechui and her son again.

Two months passed, and Niu Tiechui had broken through from just entering the Tribulation Crossing Realm to the peak of the 2nd Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and looking at her aura, she was ready to break through to the 3rd Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm at any time.

As for Niu Wufang, his situation was similar to King Jin Peng's, and it looked like it wouldn't be long before he would undergo the tribulation either.

After Luo Tian gave a few words of encouragement, he returned to the Luo family ancestral home.

He sensed with his soul power that Luo Feng and the Great Elder had both broken through to the 9th Stage of the Mystic Penetration Realm and were preparing to enter the Return to Ruins Realm.

Clearly, the memories in the soul pearls were also a huge boost for them.

However, limited by their talent, their breakthrough speed was still slower compared to divine beasts like them.

"Hmm? You actually also..." Luo Tian scanned with his soul power and discovered Luo Rong in the secret room.

This guy had actually broken through to the 4th Stage of the Sky Soaring Realm.

With a thought, Luo Tian teleported directly to the secret room where Luo Rong was cultivating.

"Ah, Young Master?" Seeing Luo Tian appear suddenly, Luo Rong was startled.

"Actually broke through to the 4th Stage of the Sky Soaring Realm? Sigh, I'm really envious of you, breaking through so fast!" Luo Tian said, shaking his head.

Luo Rong had black lines on his face.

Envious of him?

Even if he broke through to the 4th Stage of the Sky Soaring Realm, Luo Tian could probably slap him to death with one palm.

"By the way, Young Master! I have a surprise I want to show you!" Luo Rong said mysteriously.
