Chapter 875: Yulan City (Part 2)
There was nothing more to be done, so he had to think of other methods later on.
After all, although there are only two Fourth Order Alchemists in Qingzhou, their numbers are really pitifully few.
But in other regions, although Fourth Order Alchemists are similarly rare, they are at least somewhat more abundant than in Qingzhou.
Especially in the Central Three States of the Nine Provinces Continent, it is said that each state has dozens of them at a minimum.
In this way, if there is no hope in Qingzhou, then Lin Tianming can only place his hopes on some Fourth Order Alchemists in other regions.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming's thinking became clear, and his objective was very much explicit.
This time, after departing from Qingyun Mountain, he proceeded to Yulan Country at the fastest speed and highest efficiency.
With such purpose, Lin Tianming's efficiency was not slow.
In less than two days, Lin Tianming silently entered Beifeng City.
Soon after, Lin Tianming briefly rested in Beifeng City for three days, during which he slightly investigated the basic situation in Liang Family Territory.
Under his investigation, he indeed obtained some information.
However, overall, they were some trivial matters, which did not affect the Lin Family in any way.
Therefore, Lin Tianming had no thought of staying long in Beifeng City.
Thus, on the early morning of the third day, the teleportation formation to Yulan Country had already gathered enough people.
Upon learning this news, Lin Tianming immediately went to the central region of Beifeng City.
Soon after, Lin Tianming directly took the long-distance teleportation formation to Yulan Country and left the territory of Jinfeng Nation silently.
...
Yulan Country, Yulan City.
Yulan City is located in the central region of Yulan Country, and more than three thousand miles to its north is Qinglong Mountain, where the Yulan Sect is located.
The Yulan Sect is indeed one of the Qingzhou Five Major Nascent Soul Powers, with its overall strength and foundational heritage silently ranking first among the Five Great Nascent Soul Powers.
As such, the location of the Yulan Sect's mountain gate is the core region of Yulan Country, and it is certainly well-known among the Qingzhou cultivators.
And Yulan City is also the only large workshop in the entire Yulan Country cultivation world.
According to information from the cultivation world, the area of Yulan City is quite large, and the northern area where cultivators mostly reside alone is larger than the total area of many medium-sized city markets in Qingzhou.
From this point alone, one can see that Yulan City is extremely vast, and its commerce is destined to be very prosperous.
In fact, the commerce in Yulan City is indeed highly prosperous.
After all, Yulan City has such a reputation for a reason.
Among them, the normal period inside Yulan City is extremely bustling, rumored to be unquestionably the first in the countless city markets of the entire Qingzhou Land.
And, it should be known, there are four other major Nascent Soul forces in Qingzhou Land, among which powers comparable to the Yulan Sect are not absent.
Yet even so, no city in the territories of the other Nascent Soul forces can firmly overshadow the scale and popularity of Yulan City.
This is because, in addition to Yulan City's long history, the Yulan Sect also puts considerable emphasis on Yulan City's development, investing enough in its construction, there is another extremely critical point, which is Yulan City is still one of the few city markets with state-level teleportation formation in the entire Qingzhou Land.
Yulan City, as the largest city in Yulan Country, is not far from the Yulan Sect's mountain gate, with a huge number of cultivators coming and going normally.
Based on this, coupled with some cultivators going to the Yulan Sect and many traveling from Yulan City to other areas in Qingzhou, the popularity flow in Yulan City is invariably bustling throughout the year.
In this way, relying on the blessed augmentation of this state-level teleportation formation, the popularity flow inside Yulan City remains undiminished.
Especially as the once-in-a-century Alchemy Conference approaches, the flow of people in Yulan City increases to twice that of regular periods.
However, this is the actual situation eight months prior to the Alchemy Conference.
In another half a year, two to three months before the start of the Alchemy Conference, the flow of people in Yulan City might double again from the current basis, if not even multiply by several folds.
Under such circumstances, Yulan City possessing such a scale and flow of people, and leaving such a profound impression in the hearts of Qingzhou cultivators is, in itself, an inevitability.
Moreover, at any given time, a large-scale city like Yulan City is a place Qingzhou cultivators long to visit.
Here, not only because of the powerful ruling force of the Yulan Sect but also due to reasons like the Alchemy Conference.
Including Lin Tianming, even though he is currently in the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm, with his strength in the Golden Core Stage cultivators being at the top tier.
Besides, having traveled around over the years, he has visited many countries, setting foot in numerous workshop markets, leading his perspective to an extent that average cultivators cannot compare to.
Still, regardless, even without the impending Alchemy Conference, Lin Tianming remains very much fascinated with a large city market like Yulan City.
As he sees it, Yulan City has a large flow of popularity, with many cultivators from various countries in Qingzhou, as well as many from other regions.
Most cultivators able to reach Yulan City are of Foundation Establishment cultivation, with few at the Qi Refinement Realm.
Even if there are, they are mostly in the Late Stage of Qi Refining, both with remarkable abilities or some form of status background.
Otherwise, an ordinary Loose Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Realm without strength or background would not be able to survive in Yulan City.
Aside from this, Golden Core Stage cultivators, barely making it into the ranks of High Order Cultivators, are not uncommon in Yulan City.
There have even been several rumors of Nascent Soul Stage Experts appearing in Yulan City from time to time.
From these circumstances, stating that Yulan City is brimming with strong cultivators is not an exaggeration at all.
Thus, before arriving in Yulan City, Lin Tianming held boundless anticipation for this journey.
With such expectations, Lin Tianming traveled tirelessly along the way.
After about half a month's journey from Qingyun Mountain Clan Land to Beifeng City in Jinfeng Nation, and later using teleportation formations, he finally arrived smoothly in Yulan City.
At this moment, in the central area of Yulan City, an enormous tall pavilion nestled in the heart of the city.
Looking around, the pavilion's area was vast, and at its pinnacle, a golden pearl hung in the air, which upon further examination, was astonishingly the inner core of a Fourth Order Demonic Beast.
And in the mid to lower section of the pavilion, it shimmered with golden light, engaging with a hidden, powerful aura emanating out, giving the entire pavilion an extraordinary impression.
In fact, this pavilion has quite a noteworthy origin; it is the core institution of Yulan City, housing not only a grand auction hall but also serving as the usual station for Yulan Sect cultivators.
Additionally, the entire controlling center of Yulan City is also within this pavilion.
These are the key reasons why the Yulan Sect can control Yulan City effectively.
Moreover, when some top-tier experts come to Yulan City, they are treated as VIPs by Yulan Sect cultivators and eventually accommodated within this pavilion for rest.
In this way, this central pavilion possesses a significant reputation, playing a crucial role.
And in four directions outside the pavilion, there are vast white jade plazas.
At this time, on the plazas in each direction, people of all sorts came and went, with numerous cultivators gathering in groups of three to five, and many heading towards the pavilion.
Meanwhile, even more groups of cultivators emerged from the pavilion's exits, appearing on the white jade plazas.
