Arriving at New Moon City
New Moon City; located in the central-eastern area of the Blue Wind Empire with a scale more than ten times larger than Floating Cloud City. Small sects and clans were established throughout the city like trees in a forest.
The Blue Wind Imperial Family had also set up an Imperial Profound Government here, and even Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan had branch sects in this location. Thus, countless young profound practitioners rushed in from every direction in hopes of the fortunate possibility that they may join the major sects while pursuing the way of the profound.
The distance between Cyan Forest Town and New Moon City was a total of three hundred fifty kilometers, and Yun Che had reached his destination. He could arrive earlier, but on the way, he was busy hunting the profound beasts and kept increasing the profound cultivation.
Jasmine didn't understand why he killed Profound Beasts with his bare hands though. Yun Che finally reached the 5th stage of True Profound Realm but decided to stay low-key till no one bothers him. He adjusted his cultivation to that of the 10th stage of Nascent Profound Realm.
In this tiny land, he can be considered a genius and with his good looks, it would not an exaggeration to say that any woman would be magnetized over him.
Yun was checking the items he gathered from the Scarlet Dragon's Den.
[System Scan Complete]
[Fire Spirit Grassx200 Collected]
[Mature Fire Spirit Grassx50]
[The remaining Fire Spirit Grass will take time to mature]
[Currently storing the Fire Spirit Grass in the Sky Poison Pearl]
Yun Che from his memories knows about the importance of this Grass. A mature Fire Spirit Grass was around seven inches tall with extremely shallow roots, usually had nine leaves, and glowed in the darkness. It was exceedingly rare and only grew in areas with concentrated fire elements.
At the same time, the Fire Spirit Grass's growth speed was extremely slow and usually took more than ten years to reach maturity, and as a result, caused the value of mature Fire Spirit Grass to be remarkably high. Fire Spirit Grass could be refined into a Fire Spirit Pellet, and after consuming it, one would be able to resist a large degree of fire elements for a certain period of time.
It could also temporarily change a person's profound energy, which resided in the Profound Veins, into one of the fire attributes without any harmful side effects of burning or injuring oneself. To profound practitioners who practiced fire attribute Profound Arts, the benefits it would bring were unmeasurable.
As for System storing them in the Sky Poison Pearl, there is no way it can wither.
As Yun Che kept walking to the Profound Palace set up by the Blue Wind Imperial Family, many sounds of whispers could be heard.
Many young ladies were captivated by Yun Che for his looks. They wanted to approach the young man but his aura of nobleness drove them away. They thought he was someone from the great sect and maintained their distance.
Even if they like him, if they somehow anger him, they were afraid of losing their lives. Having a life is much better than having a handsome like him.
But some ladies didn't mind it and even kept on throwing seducing glances towards Yun Che. They wanted to try their luck.
Jasmine obviously could see all those and she herself felt a little uneasy. She didn't know why but she started having this feeling to wipe those bitches out of this planet.
These few days, Yun Che was the only one she can open up. Not completely, but a little better than others. She took a liking towards him but as a tsundere, she doesn't want to admit her feelings.
'Wait till I heal from this poison, I'll burn all these witches from this planet' Jasmine muttered under her breath with an evil smile and glimmering eyes.
Yun Che oblivious to the attention he received in the city, reached his destination.
Aside from the Imperial Capital in Blue Wind Imperial City, there was a total of seventy-two other cities with Profound Palaces appointed by the Imperial Family.
New Moon City was one of those cities and its New Moon Profound Palace was ranked among the best. In addition, the requirement to get accepted into the palace wasn't considered high, or at least, was much lower than those slightly famous middle leveled sects; therefore, countless Profound Practitioners tried to seek admittance every year.
The New Moon Profound Palace in New Moon City had established the Profound Department, Medicine Department, Literature Department, Music Department, Art Department…. et cetera, for a total of thirteen departments; so it was only natural the area that the palace occupied would be huge.
Sikong Han was the Head Elder of the New Moon Profound Palace and his position was second only to the three Palace Chiefs. However, even Xiao Lie was not aware of Sikong Han's identity in New Moon City.
Yun Che saw that the New Moon Profound Palace was decorated beautifully. But the expression of the people said otherwise. One of the ladies on seeing Yun Che was dazzled and immediately came to Yun Che.
"Senior Brother, Is there anything I can help you with?" inquired the lady who looked no more than 18 years. Looking at Yun Che's well-toned body, she can't ignore him.
There was an occasion going to begin in the New Moon Profound Palace after a month. So, they had to decorate the Moon Profound Palace to welcome the guests honorably. She thought someone came here to inspect the Palace.
The man looked so young. She was told many would come early to attend the banquet. If someone surely came, they were told to pay respects.
"Yes, I am new here. Can I meet Elder Sikong? I want to join New Moon Profound Palace as a disciple"
The lady was startled. She didn't expect someone would come to join at this point in time. But she also felt happy that she will get to spend time with Yun Che later.
She led him in and showed the history of the entire palace. When they reached Elder's room, she told him to wait and quickly went inside telling Elder Sikong of his arrival.
Coming out, the lady led Yun Che inside.
"So... You are the one who wanted to join as a new disciple?" a hoarse voice is heard. It came from Elder Sikong.
He was busy in the preparations for the upcoming banquet. Many of the elders are present in the hall. Obviously, they were planning on what to do.
Today, he came to know that there were rumors spreading in the area that young master Xiao Kuangyun is probably dead. Even if it was true they couldn't find his body. The celebrations have to be put on hold as many Sect Leaders left to mourn for Xiao Kuangyun's death. In all, they were ceasing the celebrations for now.
As Yun Che entered, Elder Sikong thoroughly inspected the man in front of him. His eyes went wide when he realized Yun Che's cultivation base. He abruptly stood up from the chair.
"P-peak stage of N-nascent Profond Realm??!!"
Hearing the words not only the lady who brought him, but even the remaining elders were also stunned.
