Chapter 60: The Great Square of Huálóng Palace

  Inside the magnificent hall, eight young men stood in succession. These people were the geniuses of this trip to the underground palace, second only to the heavenly palace's geniuses, and they would also receive great nurturing from Huálóng Palace.

  In the Huálóng Palace, every hundred years a Huálóng Grand Competition is held, and countless talents are absorbed into it. However, even so, there are not many people in the Tiāngōng and Dìgōng. The Dìgōng only has eight new entrants at most, while the Tiāngōng has even fewer, with only two people.

  As for the status of the other two palaces, Xuan and Huang, it was much lower, but still higher than that of ordinary formal disciples. The Huálóng Palace was established in such a competitive environment.

  An old man with white hair and beard flew out of the great hall, this old man was spirited and had a faint mark on his brow, he was a master of bloodline transformation.

  The old man glanced at the eight people with a faint gaze, nodded slightly and said: "I am Feng Zhong, the Grand Elder of the Earth Palace. You can also call me Old Man Feng. I've heard that this Dragon Transformation Great Competition has good quality, very good, you are all geniuses. However, once you enter my Earth Palace, even the highest genius will become ordinary. Here, you will start anew, and you will be on the same starting line. There are countless resources here, countless martial arts and techniques, of course, with your current status, you can only view mid-grade martial arts and techniques. These are not the most important things, what is crucial is that we will arrange some time for transformed masters to impart their cultivation experiences to you, so that your cultivation will be much faster, and many doubts about cultivation will also be resolved."

  The old man's last words were finished, and the eyes of these geniuses all lit up in an instant. The explanation of a master of transformation was something that could be encountered but not sought after. Even if they had high status, as the young masters of the cave or as experienced and knowledgeable individuals, wanting to hear the explanation of a master of transformation was no different from a fool's wild talk.

  Moreover, this is also the most advantageous place in Huálóng Gōng. The way of cultivation is extremely difficult. If there is a master who can explain and answer questions for his disciples at all times, it can greatly improve the speed of their cultivation. Some disciples can even suddenly enlighten under the explanation of a high-ranking cultivator and immediately upgrade their realm. Such things are not uncommon.

  "Alright, the rest of the matters you will all know slowly later on. Each and every one of you will have a separate courtyard, with guards to protect you. Three Elders, take them down!"

  As soon as Feng Lao finished speaking, a black-faced elder beside him coldly left with the crowd.

  The entire underground palace has five elders, namely the Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder. These elders all possess terrifying transformation powers and are in charge of the operation of the entire underground palace.

  Yang Yi also got his own courtyard, which is backed by a mountain peak. There is also a clear spring in the yard, flowing from the mountain, and the misty air fills the entire yard with an extraordinary atmosphere.

  "Lord Yang Yi, from now on we five will be Lord Yang Yi's bodyguards. Protecting Lord Yang Yi's safety is our duty!"

  Yang Yi looked up and saw five people walking towards him. These five people were all masters of the Seventh Layer of Blood Condensation, who had condensed their Vital Energy into a high-level Dan. To have such five masters protecting himself was indeed somewhat surprising.

  But that's not the point, these guards are generally limited in their qualifications, and it's unknown how many resources the Huánglóng Palace has spent to bring them to their current level of cultivation, and they can't advance any further unless someone is willing to use even more precious things to enhance their cultivation.

  So these guards were sent to guard the heavenly palace and the earthly palace of these geniuses, and only the Heavenly Palace and the Earthly Palace have the qualifications to enjoy the protection and separate courtyards. In fact, strictly speaking, only the Heavenly Palace and the Earthly Palace are considered to be the true geniuses that Huā Lóng Gōng really wants to cultivate.

  Of course, the rumors of the heavenly palace's guards are even more formidable, with five condensed blood nine-layer masters who have achieved golden elixir to guard, compared to the geniuses in the earthly palace, they are a level higher.

  "What's your name?" Yang Yi asked.

  The leading man replied respectfully: "My name is Liu Kun, and it's not necessary for these gentlemen to know their names, just call them by their numbers!"

  "What? Number?" Yang looked at the remaining four people with a strange expression.

  Yang Er

  Yang San

  "Yang Four"

  Yang Wu

  "See the adults!"

  The four people shouted in unison.

  Yang furrowed his brow; these four guards' names were really a bit...

  Liu Kun seemed to have noticed Yang Yi's confusion and smiled slightly: "Sir, actually we've served so many sirs that we can't even remember. In order to make it convenient for the sirs to call out our names, we usually follow the sir's surname and number ourselves in sequence. However, since your name already has a 'one' character, I didn't dare use it again, so I used my real name instead. The other four naturally followed in sequence."

  Yang Yi couldn't help but smile wryly, he didn't expect there to be another twist. If Liu Kun were also assigned a number, then Liu Kun would become "Yang Yi", which was indeed somewhat confusing.

  "Alright, I know everything now, you can all go down first!" Yang waved his hand to let the guards go down and then opened his own room.

  Yang Yi's room was spotless, clearly someone had been cleaning. On the bright desk lay a small booklet and a ring.

  Yang Yi casually picked it up and took a look, this small booklet roughly introduces some basic things in Huálóng Palace, as well as some door rules. Yang Yi casually swept through it and didn't continue reading, instead picking up the ring.

  Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he unexpectedly discovered that this ring was not ordinary. It turned out to be a space ring, and inside it were piles of blood crystals. A rough scan revealed that there were approximately one million of them, which was truly terrifying and shocking.

  Moreover, there are also some medicinal pills, such as Yuanqi Pills, which is one of the thickest medicinal pills, and there are dozens of bottles in total.

  Yang Yi knew that these things were prepared for the geniuses of the underground palace, each one was the same, and the generosity of Huilong Palace was unknown how rich its financial resources were. Perhaps this million blood crystal and elixir looked like a wealth in the outside world, but for Huilong Palace, it was just a basic necessity for a genius disciple to cultivate.

  "Hiss, the wealth of Huā Lóng Gōng is unimaginable! The disciples of the Earth Palace have such a rich blood crystal and elixir, let alone the disciples of the Heavenly Palace, it's even more terrifying."

  Yang Yi quickly swapped out the spatial ring on his hand, the one he had bought from the Wonders Trading Company was no match for the one given by the Dragon Palace in terms of either space size or quality.

  He then put all the treasures inside the ring into the new one, and Yang Yi's wealth was now substantial enough. Over 16 million blood crystals, countless elixirs, such terrifying wealth, was enough for an ordinary person to cultivate up to the ninth level of Blood Condensation, of course, on the premise that he had the opportunity to upgrade his realm smoothly, otherwise, no matter how many elixirs and blood crystals would be useless.

  "When I came to Huā Lóng Gōng, I prepared these two things. The things that can be placed together with so many treasures are absolutely not bad, at least they will be very helpful for the new genius cultivators who have just arrived. This little book also needs to be carefully read!"

  Yang Yi thought for a moment and somewhat understood that these things were specially prepared by Huā Lóng Gōng for new genius cultivators. Although the small booklet was just some basic introductions, it must be of great help to new genius cultivators, otherwise they wouldn't put them here.

  Yang Yi picked up the booklet and began to read it carefully.
