Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 224

224 Tibetan Treasure Building

After a while, the emperor waved to everyone, and the shouting and whispering stopped. The emperor continued: “In order to encourage these children to continue to practice hard and reward them for their achievements. Now, I announce that I will award the title of fourth-class noble to Fei, the captain of the Xuanbing team, and team members Lu Wenfeng and Fengzi. The fifth-class noble titles to Ji Menghan, Bu Yueyue, and Yi Mei’er.”

After speaking, amid the enthusiastic shouts of the audience, the emperor personally put on a special ring to represent the identity of Fei and everyone. Everyone in Fei’s team knelt down on one knee and reverently accepted this honor.

You must know that among the human beings in the Sacred Spirit Continent, there were strict hierarchies. There were two kinds of people in every city: one was common people, and the other was noble.

Among the nobles, there were five classes. Among these five ranks, the first-class aristocracy was usually occupied by members of the royal family; the second-class aristocracy was occupied by high-ranking officials and people with outstanding achievements; these two ranks of nobility were relatively small groups.

Further down, there were more third-, fourth-, and fifth-class aristocrats, especially the lowest fifth-class aristocracy, which accounts for at least 80% of the entire aristocratic system.

These nobles were usually promoted directly from the common people by the royal family because of their outstanding personal achievements. This was also the most direct and effective way for ordinary people to get rid of poverty and hierarchies.

Therefore, common people want to become excellent spiritual masters and strive for more achievements. However, how many people could really get the reward?

In the end, with the host’s announcement and the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the mighty Continental Spiritualist Academy Competition, which lasted for a month, finally came to an end. Left people too much excitement, wealth, topics, suspense or conjecture and so on.

...

.....

As the group of eight people from the Xuanbing Branch disappeared outside the main arena, two figures flashed from behind a sturdy ancient tree, staring for a long time in the direction where everyone from the Xuanbing Branch left.

The two of them were not tall, they were about 1.7 meters tall, and each was wearing a robe with a hood covering their head. However, one of them’s outer robe was already in tatters, and the hem of the coarse linen was torn. The other person had a brand-new outer robe. It could be seen from the high-quality clothing that this person was not rich and expensive.

When the people in the Xuan Bing branch disappeared from their sight, the man in tattered clothes stared in the direction where the people in the Xuan Bing branch disappeared and said, “Young master, you can find someone else for this job, I won’t pick it up!”

The slightly shorter brocade-clothed man turned his head and glanced at the speaker, and asked, “What? Are the legendary wandering villains sometimes afraid?”

The man in the ragged clothes said, “Afraid? Since I stepped into the assassin business, I don’t know what I’m afraid of!”

The brocade-clothed man said strangely: “Oh? It’s actually like this? Then why are you retreating now?”

The man in tattered clothes said coldly: “It’s credibility! I’m worried that if I can’t complete this task, it will damage my credibility!”

The brocade-robed man asked, “What? With the cultivation of your wandering nature, is there still a time when you can’t complete the mission?”

The man in tattered clothes shook his head and said, “As a killer, you have to know the enemy before you can succeed. However, I can’t see through that old man’s cultivation. With my cultivation, if I can’t see through a person, then that can only mean two situations.”

“Oh? Which two situations?” The man in brocade asked.

The man in the rags said. “One is that this person has no cultivation base; the other is that this person’s cultivation base has reached the ninth level or above.”

The brocade-clothed man nodded and said, “It seems that it should be the latter!”

The man in the rags said, “I think so too. So, for this job, you should find another expert.”

After speaking, the man in the rags turned around and was about to leave.

The man in brocade hurriedly said, “Wait!”

“What else is there to wait for?” The man in the rags didn’t turn his head, just stood there and asked coldly.

I just heard the man in brocade clothes say: “What if I increase the price? If you do this, I’m willing to pay ten times the price.”

The man in the ragged clothes stood for a moment, and finally said decisively. “Okay, I’ll take it. But, you have to wait, and I will only start when the time is right.”

Seeing that the man in the rags agreed, the man in the brocade finally showed a smile and said, “Okay, give me some time.”

“Ten days. After ten days, if I don’t succeed, then you can find another expert!”

“No, I only give you five days, they won’t stay here for too long,” said the man in brocade.

The ragged man paused, nodded and said, “Okay, five days.”

The man in brocade then took out a brocade bag, handed it to the man in tattered clothes, and said, “This is half of the deposit. After the matter is completed, I will send someone to send you the other half.”

After the broken man took the brocade bag, he left without looking back. Just after taking a few steps, the man in brocade clothes behind him added: “By the way, don’t hurt Mei’er!”

The man in the ragged clothes paused, and then disappeared into the crowd without looking back.

***

Three days later.

On one of the busiest streets in the inner city of the Forbidden City.

Although it has been two days since the Spirit Master Academy competition ended, most of them have not returned immediately. At this time, the Forbidden City was still as lively as during the competition, and some streets were even more lively than during the competition.

After all, the game was over, and the people who lingered in the Hall of Spiritualists every day turned to the city. Especially in the inner city of the Forbidden City, since the competition was held in the outer city, after the competition ended, the inner city was actually several times more lively than during the Spirit Master Academy competition.

At this time, in the street, there was a group of eight people walking and strolling leisurely. They were not someone else, but everyone from Xuanbing Branch.

After a few days of careful recuperation, at this time, all the injuries of the Xuanbing team were all cured. Then, under the leadership of Bu Wenle and Lao Caitou, they came out to relax and received the prize by the way.

In the past few days, Bu Wenle also made several trips to the palace. Got the gun thing right.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Fei and Lu Wenfeng were only wearing ordinary clothes, not the school uniform of Xuanbing Academy. But there were still people with discerning eyes who recognize them at a glance, and they were talking to everyone from a distance.

For a few days, Xuanbing Academy had been the focus of people’s discussions after dinner. This point, everyone in the Xuanbing team had long been taken aback, and they were still wandering around in their own way.

Not long after the trip, a beautiful and unique building appeared on the side of the street. The building did not occupy a large area, not much larger than an ordinary restaurant, but the exterior decoration was carved beams and painted buildings, very elegant.

Bu Wenle pointed to the building in front and said to everyone, “We’re here, this is where we’re going to win the prize.”

Everyone in Fei looked in the direction Bu Wenle pointed, and saw that this exquisite building was divided into three floors. But the floor height was not low, it was higher than the four-story building next to it. A giant plaque hung above the entrance of the building hall. On the plaque, there were three big words “Tibetan Treasure Building” written in gold.

Is this the Treasure House? Everyone could not help looking at the building with curiosity.

The fat man asked curiously, “Teacher, didn’t you say that the Treasure House is a place for the royal collection of treasures? Why is it built on the street? I thought I could go to the palace today for a walk!”

Bu Wenle smiled slightly and said. “Then you say, why can the Tibetan treasure building be built on the street?”

Ziyu blinked his small eyes and said, “If you build it on the street, aren’t you afraid of being robbed?”

Bu Wenle laughed and said, “Haha, robbery? Who dares to come here to commit robbery? Let’s not talk about the masters in Zangzhen Building, let’s take a look at what’s on this street?”

Bu Wenle pointed to a tall building not far away diagonally opposite and said, “Not far ahead is the main hall of the Forbidden City Crystal Palace. Not far ahead is the entrance to the Imperial City.”

Turning back, Bu Wenle pointed to the back and said, “In the back, is the headquarters of the Imperial Guard of the Forbidden City, and not far away there is the General Office of the Forbidden City. With such a strict defense, who would dare to come here to make trouble?”

Following Bu Wenle’s explanation, everyone saw the tight defense hidden behind this bustling street. With the gathering of these masters, I am afraid that even the powerhouses of the Spirit Immortal level would not dare to make trouble easily.
