On the way to recognition Zhu Mu’er really didn’t brag or lie. Under her guidance, it only took the three of them two days to arrive at Xiqin City to board the airship to Moze City. Although there were no compartments, the airship’s large cabin hall had various services and announcements from Yingui, which seemed fine.
Those who could take the airship were relatively rich cultivators, as the airship did not charge gold coins, only spirit stones. When Ning Cheng looked at the airship’s cabin hall filled with cultivators, he knew that the cultivators of the Hualu Continent were quite richer than those of the Ping Continent.
The spirit stones for Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei’s boat ride were all paid for by Zhu Muer, who showed her usual generosity and did not allow Ji Luofei to take spirit stones to pay for the boat at all.
The three of them chose a table by the side of the cabin and sat down. The airship’s flight time was two days, and for a cultivator, a two-day ride was really nothing.
Most of the cultivators in the cabin hall were talking about the admissions of the Five Star Academies, and Ning Cheng had listened for a while and had more or less gained some understanding. Because the several Five Star Academies were enrolling students in Moze City this time, almost all the cultivators from the Huali Continent who had the chance had gone over. Apart from the Hwa Continent, some cultivators from the Ping and Waki Continents also came.
Because of the large number of people this time, some three-star and four-star colleges and many good sects in the Hwa Continent also went to Moze City to enrol.
After all, there were only so many students wanted by the five-star colleges, and many students who could not join the five-star colleges would do well to choose the four-star colleges, or some of the big sects.
This scenario reminded Ning Cheng of the Ming Xin Academy in Southern Plains City, and it looked like wherever the academy was recruiting students, it could attract a large number of people to go there.
Zhu Mu’er looked at those high-flying cultivators and said to herself with disdain, “A group of people who don’t know how high the sky is, they think that if they go to Moze City, they will be chosen by the High Academy, they are simply dreaming. If the senior academy was so easy to get into, it wouldn’t be a senior academy.”
Ning Cheng didn’t bother to say anything when he heard this, Zhu Muer’s tone was to go to Mo Ze City for the selection of the Senior Academy, as long as she went, it would be fine, as for the rest of them, it would be best if they didn’t go.
Ji Luofei, who had never spoken much, suddenly asked, “Sister Mu’er, in this Five Star Academy Competition, will those who have very outstanding results be selected to go to the Intermediate Continent?”
Ning Cheng immediately knew that Ji Luofei was asking this for him, he had asked Ji Luofei about this matter before.
Hearing Ji Luofei call him Sister Mu’er, Zhu Mu’er looked extremely happy and answered carefully, “This Five Star Academy Competition is to promote a Six Star Academy in the Chemical Continent. The students with very good results in the competition will definitely be selected to go to the middle level continent. Besides, even if they are not chosen to go to the Intermediate Continent, the rewards for the top few places are still amazing. I’ve heard that the first place winner is not only rewarded with a medium-grade spirit weapon, but also a one-foot square storage pouch, plus a Yuan Building Pill and three thousand top-grade spirit stones.”
Ning Cheng’s heart immediately moved when he heard about the one zhang square storage bag, his storage bag was only one meter square and could not fit the spear in his hand. If he had a one zhang square storage bag, it would definitely be able to put down the spear in his hand.
The price of a storage pouch was very high, and for every doubling of its size, the price of a storage pouch had more than doubled by ten times. Ning Cheng knew that he could not afford to buy a storage pouch right now.
“Oh my, three thousand upper grade spirit stones, that’s three hundred thousand lower grade spirit stones, that’s a lot ……” Someone next to him heard Zhu Mu’er’s words and hurriedly exclaimed in awe.
“Compared to a Yuan Building Pill, a medium-grade spirit weapon and a ten foot square storage pouch, three thousand upper grade spirit stones shouldn’t be anything, right?” Another person interjected to speak.
“Actually, these are not the biggest rewards, I heard that the top twenty will have the chance to go to the Angry Axe Valley, which is a mountain of high grade spirit gra*s, and you can kick a piece of top grade refining material with just a few steps ……”
“What is Raging Axe Valley? How come I’ve never heard of it?” The gushing cultivator was interrupted by a question from the side.
“I don’t know, I heard it from others, I just know that there are a lot of good things here and it’s not in the Hualian continent.”
“I knew you were talking nonsense, if there really was such a place, some great powers would have gone in long ago, why would they wait for others?”
The two cultivators argued, and someone explained, “The Valley of the Angry Axe is indeed there, I’ve heard of it too, and I heard that there are cultivation restrictions to get in. And this valley was split out because of an axe that fell from the void, and after that axe landed in this valley, it brought an aura similar to aura in general. Later on, there were more and more treasures here, and more and more people went in to explore the treasures. But it was very dangerous inside, and most of those who went in fell. After countless years of experience, there were restrictions on entering the Angry Axe Valley, and not everyone could go in.”
“You mean to say that there are still some relics of great powers in here?”
“I heard that too, whether it’s true or not, I don’t know. Besides, even if it’s true, we don’t stand a chance, if the top twenty in the entire Huaxing Continent were that good to get, then you would have been a core disciple of the Five Star Academy long ago.”
“It’s not just the Hua Continent, right, I’ve heard that this time the Five Star Academy has also recruited many genius disciples from the Ping and Wuan Continents over, these people are all very well qualified, once they have the Five Star Academy’s training, they definitely won’t be weaker than the geniuses from the Hua Continent.”
With this question of ranking, there were more and more people discussing here. Soon the topic turned to the question of which of the five five-star academies was better.
Seeing that Ji Luofei and Ning Cheng were silent, Zhu Muer took the initiative to say, “Sister Luofei, with your qualifications, even if you can’t be chosen by a five-star academy, a four-star academy will definitely rush to take you. As for your brother Xiaocheng, as long as you get into the Four Star Academy, it won’t be a problem to get him an outer disciple.”
……
The speed of the airship was extremely fast, and in less than two days, it had landed at the post square outside Moze City. This kind of foreign airship was not allowed to fly directly into Moze City.
Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei followed the crowd and disembarked from the airship, deciding to first enter Moze City and find a rest house to stay in before going to Meteor Star Academy to look for Meng Yujing.
After the discussion of the people on the airship, Ning Cheng already knew that the five five-star academies in the Hua Continent were Thunder Academy, Qing Yun Academy, Meteorite Star Academy, Luo Throat Academy and Divine Wind Academy.
The reason why the selection of students was placed in Moze City was not because Moze City’s Meteorite Academy was more powerful, but because a great power from the Intermediate Continent liked Moze City and stayed in Moze City. Since the great power from the intermediate continent stayed in Moze City, the rest of the academies and sects in the Chemical Continent, of course, had to come to Moze City as well.
“Ning Xiaocheng, Luo Fei I’ll go first, when I join Meteor Star Academy, I might be able to help you guys out.” Once Zhu Mu’er got off the airship, she waved happily to Ning Cheng and the two of them and eagerly poured towards Mo Ze City with the crowd.
Ji Luofei looked at the countless cultivators who were surging towards Mo Ze City and said with some worry, “Little Cheng, when I left here before, there weren’t so many people, but now that so many people have come down, I’m afraid it will be hard to find a place to stay. How about ……”
Ji Luofei had gotten used to calling Little City along the way, and now that Zhu Mu’er was gone, she didn’t change her name for a while.
As soon as Ning Cheng heard Ji Luofei’s words, he understood what she meant and said with a very dry wave of his hand, “Luofei, even if we don’t enter Moze City, I won’t go looking for your aunt. Your aunt is the kind of person that I simply don’t like.”
Ji Luofei smiled faintly, “Well, then I’ll listen to you.” From the bottom of her heart, she was unwilling to go looking for her aunt, it was just that she was afraid that Ning Cheng would have no place to rest.
Moze City was different from other cities, there was a charge to enter the city, but instead of spirit stones, it was gold coins, ten gold coins were charged for a trip in and out.
If it was for ordinary cultivators, this would not be money at all. But for some people who could not cultivate, it was a sky-high price.
However, a big city like Moze City was basically inhabited by cultivators. Some people who could not cultivate, apart from working as domestic slaves in some big families, most of them would not live in Moze City, but in the surroundings of Moze City.
When Ning Cheng brought Ji Luofei into Moze City, the first thing he saw was a large street that was ten or so feet wide. This street was simply too conspicuous, not only was it spacious, but it was also busy.
From time to time, there were some people pa*sing by on ferocious beasts on the street, and Ji Luofei whispered in Ning Cheng’s ear, “These people riding on tamed ferocious beasts are all some family disciples, and there are very few people from outside the city who ride on beasts.”
Just at that moment, a red ferocious beast did not know what kind of fright it had received and suddenly hissed and charged towards the crowd.
Ning Cheng was stunned in his heart, could it be that this Moze City was also like Cang Le City, where one could let beasts rampage through the streets without fear?
Ning Cheng soon knew that this was not the case, he had already seen that the young man in brocade riding on the back of the beast had a slightly pale face, obviously he had not expected his beast to be suddenly frightened.
Several pedestrians who were not paying attention had already been hit by the ferocious beast, but fortunately, most of the people on this street were cultivators and all managed to get out of the way in time. The ferocious beast rushed out a distance of ten or so metres and did not cause any casualties.
Seeing that the beast was gaining speed, it was about to rush into a denser crowd when a white shadow suddenly leapt down from a nearby restaurant. The white shadow grabbed the beast’s head, and it was as if the beast had hit a solid iron wall, letting out a hiss and retreating a dozen steps before stopping with a foaming mouth.
Only then did the crowd see clearly that the white shadow was a young man dressed in white, who had used one of his hands to control the beast.
A burst of cheers and applause rang out, and many people who had come to Moze City for the first time were even more excited about it.
Ji Luofei pulled Ning Cheng to the side and whispered in Ning Cheng’s ear, “This man is Shui Yu of the Shui Family of Moze City, my aunt had given me his portrait to look at, this is the man who wanted my aunt to marry me off to him.”
