"We're almost there!" Chu Shiqinzhu said as he looked into the distance.
Qinchuan also looked ahead with his golden pupils, and his vision became clearer. Qinchuan felt as though he was in the air, and he saw a majestic city with no end in sight. This city was many times larger than Cangyun City and Skymoon City, and it had a thick aura and a long history.
In a city like this, there would naturally be some ancient families and forces.
The golden pupils in Qinchuan's sea of consciousness were already three feet and eight inches, and it had reached the third level a few days ago, allowing Qinchuan's vision to be broader and his eyes to be more powerful.
His cultivation was also close to the Great Circle of the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm. His foundation was already very solid, and he was improving every day.
The carriage soon entered the bustling Shuixi City.
There was an endless stream of carriages, and people were in a hurry. Powerful martial artists could be seen at any time, and a big place was indeed not comparable to a small place. There were many eighth and ninth stage martial artists here, and this was the main street.
There was not much difference between the Mortal Realm and the Mysterious Realm. In his previous life, the Martial Medical Sect was only a small branch. In terms of scale, it was stronger than the forces in Cangyun City, but it was inferior to the major forces in Shuixi County.
In his previous life, he was very hardworking, cultivating, and researching elixirs. Now that he saw everything in Shuixi County, he felt that his beautiful life had just begun, and this would be a new starting point.
The buildings, chambers of commerce, and shops here were not something that Cangyun City and Southsea City could compare to. The difference was like the difference between a mud house and a pavilion.
The carriage came to a small mountain that was away from the bustling city. This was said to be the dragon head of the largest Dragon Creek Mountain in Shuixi County. Qinchuan looked from afar and was shocked.
He could clearly see the 'spirit vein' at the foot of the mountain …
The spirit vein was actually a place where spiritual energy gathered, and it was a place where spiritual energy could be nurtured. Where spiritual energy was abundant, cultivation would be faster, and even living in a place with abundant spiritual energy would increase one's lifespan.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the Immortal Cloud Sect's foundation was here, and Qinchuan seemed to have seen a formation that made the spiritual energy of Dragon Creek Mountain gather here.
From the top of the mountain, there was a long flight of stone steps. It was like a stairway to heaven. The wide stone steps went straight up, and from a distance, one could see many stone palaces, looking grand and imposing.
Quite a few young disciples came in and out. Their strength was at least at the eighth level of the Martial Dao. Furthermore, some of these disciples were carrying large vegetable baskets and some were holding brooms. They were here to do odd jobs.
The odd-job workers were all at the eighth stage of the Martial Path?
"This is the Immortal Cloud Sect. You are a genius. I will hand you over to the place where the geniuses of the Immortal Cloud Sect gather, the Genius Hall. That is also a place to nurture geniuses," Chu Shi Qingzhu said.
Immortal Cloud Sect, Genius Hall!
Qinchuan's eyes lit up. In this life, he was a genius. Moreover, he was a decisive genius. Only by fighting against geniuses could he improve himself.
Chu Shi and Qingzhu led Qinchuan through a few halls. Along the way, many of the martial artists they encountered were at the Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm, and they were all quite young.
Not long after, Chu Shi and Qingzhu brought Qinchuan to an independent hall. There were many open-air tents here, and in front of the hall were nine small pavilions with interesting names.
Genius Pavilion!
The pavilions were very small, but they gave off a domineering feeling. Especially in the midst of the many tents, they looked even more noble.
Chu Shi and Qingzhu walked over with Qinchuan.
I will be here in the future?
Qinchuan looked around and then at the nine Genius Pavilions. A smile appeared on his face. This should be very interesting.
"Eh, Teacher Chu, who are you bringing?" A voice sounded out.
Qinchuan saw a middle-aged man walking over from another direction. Behind him was a refined youth.
"Elder Ye!"
Chu Shi and Qingzhu greeted the middle-aged man in a lukewarm manner.
The middle-aged man looked at Qinchuan with bright eyes. There was a strange feeling that made Qinchuan feel a little uncomfortable, as though he had been seen through.
The strength of a Martial Grandmaster was confirmed. He was also an elder of the Immortal Cloud Sect, and it seemed like he had the same status as Chu Shi and Qingzhu.
As one of the ten counties of the Fengyang Dynasty, Shuixi County was indeed extraordinary. Even an elder here was a Martial Grandmaster. Immortal Cloud Sect was not simple.
"Teacher Chu, this youth is called Yang Hu. He is 18 years old this year and is a late-stage Martial Grandmaster."
When the middle-aged man introduced Yang Hu, he was delighted like he had found a treasure.
An 18-year-old late-stage Martial Grandmaster was very strong. A 16-year-old Martial Grandmaster was the standard of a genius. An 18-year-old late-stage Martial Grandmaster was indeed a one-in-a-million genius.
Yang Hu looked at Qinchuan. He couldn't tell Qinchuan's age, nor could he tell Qinchuan's cultivation. However, he didn't think that Qinchuan was stronger than him.
The middle-aged man, Elder Ye, and Chu Shi and Qingzhu just needed to find a genius and bring him to the Immortal Cloud Sect. As for the registration, Chu Shi and Qingzhu would handle it for him.
"Qinchuan, you stay here. The sect leader is currently traveling. When she returns, you have to work hard to become her disciple."
Chu Shi and Qingzhu left!
That Elder Ye said to Yang Hu, "The sect leader is searching for geniuses to pass on her mantle. As long as you can become her disciple, you will be able to change your fate and become an expert …"
"Yes, Elder Ye!" Yang Hu said seriously.
Immortal Cloud Sect was one of the ten major sects of the Fengyang Dynasty, and the sect leader was a legendary figure in the entire dynasty.
The Genius Hall was personally established by the sect leader. As long as one joined the Genius Hall, they would receive the Immortal Cloud Sect's great nurturing. Furthermore, there was a high chance that they would become the sect leader's personal disciple.
Qinchuan and Yang Hu walked into the Genius Hall together. Along the way, there were many young geniuses between the ages of 14 to 20. Most of them were 16 or 17 years old.
Qinchuan was 16 years old and was going to be 17 soon. There were many people around his age.
Late-stage Martial Grandmaster!
Early-stage Martial Grandmaster!
Qinchuan was stunned. A little lass actually reached Martial Grandmaster at the age of 14 …
What a monster …
Qinchuan was shocked. He reached Martial Grandmaster at the age of 16, and his current cultivation was only achieved because of the breakthrough of the Nine Dragons Divine Strength Technique. Under normal circumstances, he was about the same as Yang Hu.
Along the way, Qinchuan kept sizing them up. He had the Golden Divine Eyes and could see everything clearly. Gradually, he became numb to it. They were all geniuses, and some of them were geniuses among geniuses.
"These two are newcomers. They were brought by Elder Ye and Teacher Chu."
"Which one was brought by Teacher Chu?"
"Is this the first time Teacher Chu brought someone? Who do you think this kid is to Teacher Chu? "
Many youths in the Genius Hall looked at Qinchuan and Yang Hu curiously and discussed among themselves. They seemed to be paying a lot of attention to Teacher Chu and Qingzhu. After all, such celestial beauties were extraordinary.
"How strong do you think these two are?"
"Late-stage Martial Grandmaster. The other should be mid-stage Martial Grandmaster."
Qinchuan did not feel much pressure at the moment. After all, his actual combat ability was very terrifying. There would be a place for him in the Genius Hall of Immortal Cloud Sect, and it was definitely not a low position.
"Are the two of you new here?" A low, muffled voice sounded.
This voice came from the left side.
Qinchuan and Yang Hu turned their heads and saw a young man in a golden robe. He was tall and handsome, but the aura on him was extremely massive. He looked a little arrogant and looked at the people here with a trace of disdain.
Qinchuan frowned. This young man was very powerful. Qinchuan actually could not accurately see his strength for a moment. He seemed to be at the perfected Martial Grandmaster, but he also seemed to have just broken through to Martial Grandmaster.
Beside the young man was a young man in sect attire. He looked at Qinchuan and Yang Hu and said, "I'm a disciple of the Genius Hall of Immortal Cloud Sect, and also your Senior Brother. In the future, you will also be a member here. The rules here are very strict …"
"Everyone's treatment here is different. Without permission, you are not allowed to leave the mountain. You can fight here as long as you are not severely crippled or dead."
The young man in the golden robe and the disciple of the Genius Hall left together.
Very soon, Qinchuan also knew what kind of environment this was.
In the entire Genius Hall, people were not allowed to enter the main hall. Therefore, people could only stay in the nine small pavilions in the middle. The rest were all tents.
Qinchuan and Yang Hu were each allocated a tent. Although it was called a tent, it was actually a sleeping bag. The tent was so small that it could only sleep one person.
"It can't be, right? We are staying here?" Yang Hu was infuriated.
Who was he? He was a genius, a famous genius. When had he ever been so cowardly?
This kind of treatment, this kind of discrimination, made him very unhappy.
Qinchuan did not feel anything. He stared at the nine small pavilions. He knew that they could fight for these pavilions. Could it be that they had to fight their way in?
A young lady saw Qinchuan looking at those small pavilions and smiled. As she spoke, she walked over, "It's very simple if you want to stay in there. Just defeat the people inside, and you can enter."
