Chapter 1770: No Feeling

After a while, the Leader calmed his emotions and said to the group of Martial Cultivators, "Congratulations on passing the final test."

I am Zhang Wencai, the Administrator in charge of selecting Martial Cultivators!

First, come with me into the Royal City to receive resources! You still have a training period to stay with me.

If you can't stand my style, you can leave right away."

After Zhang Wencai finished speaking, he waved to the crowd, indicating that they should follow him.

Then he turned to Ye Liuyun and asked, "What is your name?"

"Ye Liuyun!"

Ye Liuyun bowed and paid his respects.

"Hmm! Next time you act, be more decisive.

You could have eliminated those trash long ago; why dawdle!"

Zhang Wencai said as he walked away without looking back.

Ye Liuyun and the others were momentarily stunned, then smiled and followed.

They actually liked the Administrator's style.

Ye Liuyun also guessed that the Administrator had actually been observing them all along, and wasn't just someone who had just returned for a meal.

Because Ye Liuyun checked the remaining people and found there were exactly fifty.

This indicates that Zhang Wencai halted the counting.

The others wore helpless expressions and also stayed behind them.

Afterwards, the soldiers at the rear finally followed.

The Western Liang Royal City was indeed larger than any city Ye Liuyun had seen before.

Within the city were mountains, waters, towers, and pavilions, with forests spread throughout.

Only by using the Teleportation Array can one quickly reach different areas.

"This is the outer city, where ordinary civilians live.

Most of the Royal City's stationed troops are also here."

Zhang Wencai walked while introducing the place to them.

Then he led them through a Light Gate.

On the other side of the Light Gate was a different scene.

"This is the inner city, which can be considered the true Royal City.

There is a merchants' guild over there... ahead is the Royal Mansion!"

Zhang Wencai continued his introduction.

Ye Liuyun noticed that the Royal Mansion resembled a city and had several levels.

The innermost level had a Formation that blocked Divine Sense probing, likely the residence of royal family members.

They were led into a dedicated quarter in the northwest corner of the outermost layer of the Royal Mansion.

Zhang Wencai first had someone arrange lodging for them, distributing standardized uniforms, armor, and Tokens for entering and exiting the Royal Mansion.

"First, wear the standardized military training uniforms; there are no other standardized uniforms here.

Moreover, it hasn't been easy for you to get this far.

If you ultimately aren't selected, as long as you survive, you can at least remain in the Royal Mansion's army."

Zhang Wencai explained.

Upon hearing this, many Martial Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Some came for this reason, not because they had to fight on the Alien Battlefield.

Afterwards, Zhang Wencai had someone arrange lodging for them.

He also told the group, "After being assigned rooms, stay there for a moment; later, your cultivation resources will be delivered.

Then you'll have ten days, during which you can freely enter and exit the Royal Mansion.

After ten days, I will lead you into the next round of training.

To make you better suited to survive on the Alien Battlefield."

Next, the group followed the guards to wait for room assignments.

The accommodations were Side Courtyards housing five people each, with each person having their own cultivation space.

Ye Liuyun and his companions were assigned last, and the Side Courtyard they received was the most spacious.

Before departing, the guard in charge of room assignments asked Ye Liuyun and the others, "Lord Zhang asked me to inquire: what types of Intent Crystal Stones do you need?

Each person may select three, including your Black Panther.

Ye Liuyun may select five!"

"The Royal Mansion is so generous, giving so many Crystal Stones?"

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

"Not at all! Only you have this privilege; the others receive ordinary resources, and of course, you also get a share of the ordinary resources."

The guard replied.

"Then I want Heaven and Earth Power Crystal Stones, five of them, and none of the others."

Ye Liuyun said directly.

For the others, Ye Liuyun let them choose for themselves.

Man Shu requested two Ice Crystals and one Sword Intent Crystal Stone; Lei Ming requested Thunder and Lightning, Mana, and Ice Crystals; Long Nv requested three Fist Intent Crystal Stones; Ye Tiandao requested two Blade Intent Crystal Stones, one Space Intent Crystal Stone; Black Panther requested three Wind Speed Intent Crystal Stones.

The guard noted everything and went to report back to Zhang Wencai.

Ye Liuyun and the others didn't need to share rooms; for cultivation, they would certainly return to Ye Liuyun's Xuan Kong Shi to train.

After about half a day, the guard returned and handed Ye Liuyun and the others a Storage Ring.

Ye Liuyun and the others scanned it and found that inside there were not only the Realm Crystals they needed, but also some Divine Crystals, Elixir and other resources, all divided into five portions.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Ye Liuyun thanked the guard.

The guard looked at Ye Liuyun and the others, nodded, and left Ye Liuyun's residence.

He originally hoped that Ye Liuyun and the others would become very excited upon seeing the Realm Crystals.

Even the reward of obtaining the Realm Crystals would make them extremely thrilled.

However, Ye Liuyun now feels nothing toward these small pieces of Realm Crystals.

When the guard reported to Zhang Wencai, Zhang Wencai said calmly, "That kid has probably seen too much and doesn't care any more! It'll be hard to excite him in the future! Perhaps I need to revise the training plan!"

"Ah?

He's that wealthy?"

The guard was somewhat puzzled.

"You have no idea how many major forces this kid has robbed! Even though those are outside the passes, they still have plenty of cultivation resources!"

Zhang Wencai smiled.

"Is he that strong?"

The guard was somewhat skeptical that Ye Liuyun possessed such strength.

"Don't underestimate him; he can kill you easily! His realm has hidden aspects!"

Zhang Wancai waved his hand at the guard, too lazy to continue the conversation, and turned to consider the upcoming training plan.

Ye Liuyun and the others also immediately put away the resources and returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate.

Other Martial Cultivators either began cultivating, or went to the Merchant Association to exchange resources, then returned to cultivate.

In short, no one dared waste time.

No one knows how brutal the next training will be, so everyone strives to improve their strength.

Ye Liuyun felt that although the battle had been extensive, the pressure was insufficient, and the Mysterious Origin had not been refined enough, so he did not rush to break through his realm, but kept strengthening the Heaven and Earth Power.

Lei Ming and the others also first comprehended the Realm Crystals.

Ye Liuyun and the others cultivated in the room for three days before leaving the Royal Mansion, rushing to the Merchant Association to exchange resources.

In the Royal City, the Mysterious Origin Tower is a three‑story independent building, each floor spacious, with a full range of goods inside.

Ye Liuyun browsed casually, checked the prices, which were a bit lower than those in Bingquan City, but still considerably higher than at Jinmen Guan.

Ye Liuyun gave all the resources he wanted to exchange to the shopping guide, converting everything into Divine Crystals.

Afterward, he went to the Merchant Association Steward and presented the Gold Card.

The Steward immediately led Ye Liuyun into a private room on the third floor, warmly asking what he needed.
