C56 Tianhua City
Although Wu Zhan's injuries were severe this time, there was no one who knew of Wu Chen. He was a Supreme Pill God, and had unparalleled medical skills. Under his meticulous treatment, Wu Zhan quickly recovered in a few days.
Of course, while staying in the Wu family for the past few days, Wu Chen had not been idle either, he had been training diligently all this time. The Emperor did not disappoint those who followed his wishes, and on the third day after his return, he broke through the limits of his Sixth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage, making great progress in his strength.
After his father had recovered, Wu Chen left the Yunfeng City once again. This time, he was going out to train, and continue staying in the Yunfeng City. It was clear that he would not be able to improve much.
Initially, when Wu Chen suggested that they go to other places to train, Wu Zhan and the others did not agree, because the outside world was simply too dangerous. Just by looking at the Qingyang City, one could tell that it had almost destroyed their entire Wu Family.
However, under Wu Chen's firm determination and repeated persuasion, the two of them finally agreed. They also knew that their son was a dragon amongst men, and a small Yunfeng City definitely wouldn't be able to hold him back.
After leaving the Yunfeng City, Wu Chen headed south. After walking for a few days, traversing over several large mountains, he finally arrived at a large city — — Tianhua City.
Tianhua City; this was the largest city in the entire South Prefecture; it had always had the reputation of being the number one city in the South Prefecture, and was the largest city with the most reputation in the South Prefecture.
As the number one city in the South Prefecture, the prosperity of Tianhua City was self-evident. This city was grand, with a resident population of over a million.
"This South Prefecture's number one city does look a bit like a city."
Along the way, Spiritual Rotation Stage cultivators could be seen everywhere, and even expert at Spirit Sea Stage himself had seen a few. The resources here were extremely abundant, and even if it was an ordinary person, they were able to reach the eighth and ninth stages of Qi Cultivation Stage. Those with slightly stronger innate talent would normally be able to break through Spiritual Rotation Stage.
After strolling for half a day, it was already noon. Wu Chen felt hungry and went to an inn to eat.
"Sir, here is your meal, please enjoy."
Very quickly, the waiter brought the food Wu Chen had ordered up. Wu Chen was currently starving, but when he saw the dishes on the table, he did not hesitate and picked up the chopsticks to eat.
"When is the first auction this time?"
"Seems like three days later. This time's auction, is a large-scale auction that only happens once a year, and many people received the news and came to our Tianhua City to participate in this time's auction."
"Three days later, I will be here at the right time. I wonder what good stuff will appear in the auction this time around."
"I don't know about that, but I'm sure it won't be a problem."
"You're just speaking nonsense. This time, the auction is a large-scale auction. It only happens once a year, so how could it not be good?"
"Haha, that's true."
...
Auction?
Wu Chen's eyes lit up. An auction, this was an excellent place to search for treasures. If one's luck was good enough, it would be possible to find some unexpected good things.
Who would have thought that just as he arrived at Tianhua City, he would run into an auction, this was something he could not afford to miss.
After eating, Wu Chen walked out of the inn and continued his shopping. This was the first time he had come to the Tianhua City, so naturally he wanted to take a look around.
When he passed by a plaza, he saw many people gathered here. Almost everyone's gazes were fixated on a golden monument. On the monument, there were many names that shone with a golden radiance.
"The strength of this Clear Moon City's youngster is not bad. He is ranked 97, and has managed to squeeze into the top 100."
"The cultivation of Sixth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage is indeed not bad. Even in our Tianhua City, it can be considered outstanding."
"From the sixty-fifth place to the one hundred forty-fifth place, all of them are at Sixth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage. This is a huge competition."
"Yeah, if you're just a bit weaker, you'll be pushed down."
"There are a lot of people who came to take the test today. The number of people who took the test today is quite high. The number of people who took the test is also quite high. Just the top 50 have increased by fifteen."
"That's right, the top thirty has changed seven people, the top twenty has changed two people, and there hasn't been any change in the top ten."
"It seems that the top ten hasn't changed in a few days. It won't be an easy thing to squeeze into the top ten."
"Yes, if you want to squeeze into the top ten, the lowest cultivation realm would require Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage. Otherwise, it would be impossible to squeeze into the top ten."
"This year's Hidden Dragon Competition, on the whole, is much better than the previous year's. Just based on our South Prefecture alone, in a county, there are thirteen people who have reached the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage. This number is nearly double that of the previous year's."
"There's still more than a month's time before the true Hidden Dragon Competition, and it's hard to guarantee that these people won't make any further breakthroughs. When the time comes for the true Hidden Dragon Competition, who knows how many Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage s and Peak Of the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage s will emerge."
"Without a doubt, this session of Hidden Dragon Competition s is the most flourishing session of our Great Qi Kingdom in the last hundred years. Geniuses and evildoers from various places are all in a state of eruption; this is truly a fortunate occasion for my Great Qi Kingdom."
"Yeah, yeah."
Through observing and listening to the conversations of these people, Wu Chen roughly understood what exactly this golden monument was. This was an approximate ranking of the strength of the young people in South Prefecture.
Wu Chen took a look, the golden monument showed three hundred people, all of them were young, and had the qualifications to participate in Hidden Dragon Competition s.
Amongst these people, the person with the lowest cultivation was Fifth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage, but of course, Fifth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage was only the lowest standard for entering the golden monument, because there were a lot of people who weren't able to enter the top three hundred, or were pushed down by others.
"Are these the top ten people?"
Wu Chen swept his eyes across the top row of the golden monument. There were ten names there, shining with a golden light, shining with dazzling light, as if they were the sun. Almost everyone's eyes were focused on them, filled with incomparable reverence.
At this time, Wu Chen looked at the number one ranker. Huang Pujun, this person's name, had a purple gold hue, and among the three hundred names, it was the most brilliant and dazzling, like a king, unshakable.
First Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage.
Wu Chen frowned and nodded his head. This Huang Pujun was not bad, he was actually a expert at Spirit Sea Stage, and had broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm at such an age, the number one South Prefecture cultivator did have some skills.
