Chapter 22: Kunshan City

  Endless plains, unknown miles, a young figure flashed by quickly, this figure was Xing Zhi, excited and speechless. (From the Red Mansion Soy Sauce Character Collection)

  At this time, he had been running continuously for a whole day, but in front of him was still an endless expanse. Si Cheng stopped his footsteps with a gasp, saw the sky getting darker, and sighed helplessly.

  "It seems we can't enter the city today."

  He then found a place to sit down, looking out at the endless plain in front of him, and his heart also cooled down. Fortunately, he calculated that there was still more than half a month before the recruitment of disciples, so it wasn't that urgent after all.

  After calming down the turbulent emotions, he slowly entered a state of cultivation. The "Muscle Forging Bone Strengthening Technique" had also made significant progress over the past month, especially as he drew closer to Mount Kunlun, his absorption of air currents accelerated, and in recent days, he was on the verge of breaking through to the seventh layer. This had kept Cheng's mood cheerful for a long time.

  "If I were to cultivate in those Kunlun Mountains, I wonder what kind of state I would be in."

  Sai Cheng sighed in his heart and then the surroundings also gradually quieted down.

  The next day, Si Cheng opened his eyes early and ate some dry rations he had bought in the previous city. The dry rations he had brought from home had been finished half a month ago, and he had bought some more in the cities they passed through. The remaining dry rations were enough to sustain him until Kunshan City.

  Like this, they rushed along during the day and rested at night. After five days, a blurry outline of a city wall finally appeared before their eyes.

  "Oh..."

  With a burst of thunderous cheers, Si Cheng accelerated with joy, dashing towards the blurry city. One Night of Passion: Woman, I Must Have You

  This gallop lasted for nearly two hours, and it wasn't until they were about ten meters away from the city gate that they slowed down, then stopped in their tracks. The Poisonous Imperial Concubine.

  When he saw the city, Si Cheng was so shocked that he was speechless. What a city this is! Just the city gate alone was something Si Cheng had never seen before, whether it was in the cities they passed through on their journey or even the giant water city. It could be described with the two words "majestic" and it wouldn't be an exaggeration. The wide city gate was at least ten times that of the giant water city, and the walls on both sides stretched out in both directions, disappearing from view.

  After a sigh, Si Cheng also headed towards the city gate. When he arrived at the entrance of the city gate, however, he did not find any guards. This was such a huge city, plus the deterrent force of Kunlun Mountain, who would dare to cause trouble?

  Walking easily into the city gate, a huge square appeared in front of me. In the center of the square, there is a giant tower about 100 meters high, with nine floors. On the first floor, there is a statue with a hair bun on its head, wearing a green Taoist robe, holding a dustpan in its hand, and especially the kind and benevolent face has a flavor of majesty without anger.

  In front of the statue was a huge blue cauldron, from which wafted thick and fragrant incense. Further ahead were countless mats, on which knelt at least over a hundred people. The most terrifying thing was that outside the giant tower, a long queue had formed, with at least nearly ten thousand people.

  While Zhai Cheng was stunned and speechless, countless people came from all directions and joined the long queue.

  "Alas! Let's find a place to settle down first." Then he chose a direction and walked quickly away.

  Kunshan City has been bustling with excitement these past few days, as the day of Kunlun Mountain's once-in-a-decade recruitment of new disciples is approaching. Not to mention the outstanding young talents from the various sects and families within Kunshan City, even countless families outside the city have brought their most exceptional youngsters to try their luck. If selected by Kunlun Mountain, one's future prospects would be boundless.

  Xie Cheng walked through the crowded crowd, from time to time seeing boys of similar age or slightly younger than him passing by his side.

  "I don't know if it's the same with me, but it seems that coming to Kunlun Mountain to recruit disciples is not an easy task either." Si Cheng muttered to himself.

  "I heard there's a fight going on in the south of the city, go take a look."

  "Oh? Which two families are fighting again?"

  "Not very clear, go take a look and you'll know."

  Then several young men in front of Si Cheng suddenly dispersed.

  "Is someone fighting? Then I'll go take a look too, and find an inn later." With that, he chased after the figures of those few young men in front.

  When Xia Cheng arrived, the good show seemed to have passed. There were only two families of horses facing each other. Next to them was an inn, and it was a high-end inn called "Xian Lai Inn".

  When he heard the onlookers talking, Si Cheng also learned about the fight. It turned out that as the day of Kunlun Mountain's recruitment of disciples approached, many people from nearby cities rushed to come, and there were not enough inns to accommodate them. Just like today, these two families had some status in their hometowns, but after arriving at Kunlun City, they wanted to find higher-end inns, as lower-end ones would be embarrassing, which led to the incident today.

  And it's said that such things have been happening frequently in the past few days, and as time approaches, they may become even more intense. Of course, when high-end accommodations are fully booked, people will rush to grab mid-range ones, and once mid-range options are also filled up, no matter how prestigious or face-saving it is, one can only go stay at those low-end inns, because low-end inns make up the majority everywhere.

  Sai Sheng smiled lightly and shook his head, the day to recruit new disciples was only about ten days away, and there would be many more people coming later, it was a mix of dragons and snakes.

  "It's better to find an inn for himself first, otherwise he won't even have a place to stay later. What's the point of staying here?" Afterwards, he didn't care about how the commotion would unfold, as it had nothing to do with him anymore. At this moment, Si Cheng was walking towards a low-end inn.
