Chapter 255As Lu Qing concentrated on the three large characters "Azure Dragon City" on the city gate. Soon, a dense golden light of strange power emerged from the characters. Several strips of text floated out. Golden? Lu Qing was slightly taken aback and looked at the strips of text. [Inscription by the Martial Saint: These three characters were personally written by a Precelestial Realm peak-level expert. The calligraphy is beautiful, and the aura is extraordinary.] [Contains martial will that can last for hundreds of years.] [There is a rumor that within these three characters lies the inheritance left by this top martial expert. However, for hundreds of years, no one has been able to decipher the mystery and obtain the inheritance.] [Detected a cultivation technique, would you like to download it?] "There really is an inheritance?" Lu Qing was somewhat surprised. Just now, he had only felt that these characters had a different intent and had a slight guess. Unexpectedly, there really was a cultivation technique inheritance hidden within them. And judging by the description, this inheritance seemed quite significant. After all, the title "Martial Saint" is not something just anyone can bear. Seeing many people queueing to enter the city, and it would be a while before their turn. Without much hesitation, Lu Qing immediately chose to download the cultivation technique. [Downloading, current progress, 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%] [The cultivation technique has been downloaded. Would you like to simulate it?] Lu Qing chose to simulate it. [Simulating, current progress, 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%] [Simulation completed. Would you like to learn it?] This time, Lu Qing did not choose to learn it directly. Because it took him a while to download and simulate the cultivation technique, and the queue had moved forward, it was almost their turn. "These characters on the city gate are extraordinary." At this moment, the old doctor also sighed. "Master, you also noticed?" Lu Qing was not too surprised. Given his master's aptitude, it would be strange if he did not notice the peculiarity of the characters. "These three characters on the city gate seem to contain the sword intent of a powerful martial artist. Unfortunately, I am too dull. After a brief contemplation, I could only comprehend four or five points." The old doctor sighed. After contemplating the characters on the city gate for a while, he felt that the sword intent within was quite beneficial to him. Indeed, Zhongzhou is a place where talented individuals are abundant. They hadn't even entered Zhongzhou properly yet, but just contemplating the characters on a checkpoint gate made him feel enlightened. It is imaginable how many talented people and outstanding places the true land of Zhongzhou has. "Comprehended four or five points..." Lu Qing was somewhat speechless. His master's martial talent and comprehension were indeed strong. The characters on the city gate contained the insights of a peak Precelestial Realm expert. His master could comprehend four or five points of the essence in such a short time, truly remarkable. "Where are you from? Do you have a road guide? How many people are entering the city?" Just as Lu Qing was amazed by his master's silent prowess, a rough voice sounded. Lu Qing turned to see two soldiers in armor, holding long spears, standing at the city gate. The one shouting was the soldier on the right. Lu Qing's heart moved slightly. This Azure Dragon City is indeed extraordinary. Even the two soldiers guarding the city gate were of the Tendons and Bones Realm, and one of them had reached the peak of the Tendons and Bones Realm. "City Guard, we are from Cangzhou, five people in total." Mago stepped forward with a smile, handing over a small booklet. The so-called road guide was something that could prove Lu Qing and his group's identities and origins. This thing usually wasn't useful, but at important checkpoints like Azure Dragon Pass, it was necessary. Unless Lu Qing and his group could cross the towering mountains on their own and enter Zhongzhou without passing through Azure Dragon Pass. Their identity road guide was arranged by the Wei family, so naturally, there was no issue. The city guard only glanced at it before closing it. "The road guide is fine. For five people, it's one tael of silver per person to enter the city, and the carriage counts too, making it six taels of silver in total. Pay up, and you can enter the city." One tael of silver per person? Mago was initially surprised by the amount. However, after observing the other people in line, he noticed no one seemed surprised, indicating this entry fee was normal and not an intentional difficulty for them. With some assurance, Mago took out a money bag, handing it over with a smile: "Yes, here are six taels of silver, please check." The city guard weighed the bag, frowned, opened it, and saw a small silver ingot inside, then smiled. He waved his hand: "Good, go ahead. If anyone troubles you, just say Hu Laosan is covering you." "Thank you, City Guard!" Mago, with joy on his face, thanked repeatedly before returning to the carriage and leading it forward. As the carriage passed through the city gate, the other city guard, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "That young man, you seemed quite interested in the three characters on the city gate?" Lu Qing was taken aback, turned his head, and saw the guard looking at him. He thought for a moment, then smiled: "I have always liked calligraphy. Seeing these three characters 'Azure Dragon City' written with such grandeur, they don't seem to be the work of an ordinary person. Being intrigued, I studied them for a while. City Guard, did I break any rules?" "You didn't break any rules." The speaking guard was a young man with a dignified appearance. "But I see you are also a martial artist, so I wanted to warn you. The inscription on the city gate contains special intent. However, that intent is somewhat sinister. If you happen to comprehend something from it, believe me, do not practice it. Otherwise, if you fall into madness in the future, plagued by inner demons, and your cultivation regresses, you will regret it too late." Lu Qing was stunned, but seeing the serious expression on the armored young man's face, it didn't seem like he was lying. He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Thank you for the warning, I will be careful." After Lu Qing and his group entered the city and were no longer visible, the armored young man resumed his indifferent demeanor, ignoring everyone. However, Hu Laosan beside him became interested: "Young Master Ji, why did you specifically warn that young man not to comprehend the inscription on the city gate? Do you really think that young man could decipher the mystery of the inscription?" "Who knows? I just saw him absorbed in the characters and gave a reminder. After all, they gave us extra silver, didn't they?" the armored young man said indifferently. "Right." Hu Laosan took out the money bag Mago had given, poured out the silver ingot, "Young Master Ji, since there's extra, let's split it equally." "Twenty taels?" The armored young man was surprised, "I didn't expect those people to be so generous." Seeing Hu Laosan about to split the silver, the armored young man waved his hand: "Forget it, you keep it. Didn't you say you wanted to send your daughter to Xuanxin Sect to learn? You need money." "Thank you, Young Master Ji." Hu Laosan didn't decline, quickly putting the silver back, as if his previous actions were just for show. The armored young man shook his head, no longer paying attention to the old fox, continuing to daydream. Hu Laosan was unconcerned. Although he didn't know why the young master of the Ji family would guard the city gate with him, as long as it didn't hinder his earning money and occasionally provided cover, he had no complaints. "Just a hundred more taels, and I'll have enough to send Xiaolian to Xuanxin Sect." Hu Laosan touched the silver ingot in his pocket, feeling delighted. "Interesting." Already inside the city, Lu Qing sensed what happened at the city gate, showing a hint of interest, then retracted his soul force. It seemed that the armored young man was genuinely kind-hearted in his warning. But... were the intents within the characters on the city gate really that terrifying? He didn't feel it. Lu Qing was puzzled. When he saw the characters earlier, he only felt the intent was extraordinary but didn't sense any danger. Moreover, his master also comprehended them without any issue. "Could there be another mystery within the characters? It seems I need to study it after settling down." Lu Qing pondered and made a decision. "Wow! What a big city!" At that moment, Xiao Yan's surprised voice suddenly sounded. Lu Qing turned to see the little girl holding Xiao Li, eyes wide open in amazement at the scene ahead. On the other side, Mago and Wei Zian had similar expressions, all staring wide-eyed at the bustling scene. In front of them, a street several dozen meters wide was filled with people, horse carriages, and donkey carts. The sounds of vehicles, hawking, and shouting were everywhere. This main street alone was more grand and prosperous than any city Lu Qing had seen. Not to mention the tall stone buildings on either side, which were rarely seen by Lu Qing and his group. "Truly worthy of the famous Azure Dragon Pass. I wonder what the other three passes are like." Lu Qing couldn't help but praise. People from other states who wanted to enter Zhongzhou usually went through the four passes. These four passes were named after legendary divine beasts. Lu Qing and his group came through the eastern Azure Dragon Pass. Of course, although there are four passes, it doesn't mean that entering Zhongzhou can only be done through them. However, using other routes would be much more complicated. Only those who wanted to hide their identities and were highly skilled martial artists would choose such paths. Ordinary people would rather pay some money for the safer route through the passes. "Master, what should we do next? Should we find a place to stay first?" Lu Qing asked. The old doctor pondered for a moment, "Let's find a place to stay first. We've been traveling for days, everyone is tired. Let's rest well in the city for a day and enter the pass tomorrow." "I think that's a good idea." Lu Qing nodded. They had been traveling for days. Although the formation car protected them from physical fatigue, mentally, they were somewhat tired. He and his master were fine, but Xiao Yan and Wei Zian were quite worn out. Especially Mago, who had to stay focused on driving the carriage due to the increased speed, consuming a lot of mental energy. If they didn't rest well, it might harm their foundations. As a commercial hub connecting Zhongzhou and other eastern states, Azure Dragon City had a well-developed commerce. It didn't take long for Lu Qing and his group to find a satisfactory inn. Although it was a bit expensive, they didn't lack money now and didn't mind the cost. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After settling in, Lu Qing was arranging the bed when Xiao Yan and Xiao Li were playing around. A knock sounded on the door: "Ah Qing, come out for a moment." "What is it, Master?" Lu Qing opened the door. "Come with me, we need to inquire about some things." The old doctor said. "Alright, Master, wait a moment." Lu Qing returned to the room, instructed Xiao Yan and Xiao Li to stay inside and not run around, then left. Following his master to the street, Lu Qing asked, "Master, what are we inquiring about?" "About entering the pass, and the recent state of the world." The old doctor said. "The state of the world?" Lu Qing was surprised, "Where will we inquire?" Could it be that his master had connections in Azure Dragon City? Lu Qing suddenly had a thought. But the old doctor didn't answer directly, instead taking out something to show him. "Ah Qing, do you recognize this?" Lu Qing looked and recognized it immediately: "Isn't this the jade token Lord Zhirui gave you?" "Yes, it is. When we entered the city earlier, I felt a slight movement from the token. I sensed it in the room just now and found that the movement was coming from somewhere in the city. According to what Lord Zhirui said, that place should be a branch of Tianji Tower." "Indeed." Hearing this, Lu Qing understood. Since Tianji Tower claimed to have the best intelligence network, it must have branches everywhere to collect information. A major city like Azure Dragon City would surely have a branch. "Then we should go there now, Master." Table of content
