Chapter 305 - 203: The Ancient Wilderness, the Ancient Demon_2

If a powerful demon couldn’t be persuaded to join, it would be killed, its Inner Dan harvested, and refined into elixir. Leveraging the talent of this second young master, in a short time, he could cultivate a powerful demon that was entirely loyal to Da Jin!

Of course, this was just his speculation, but the actual approach must be similar. Who wouldn’t want to utilize such talent?

However, even if one is exploiting, there must be an appropriate reason. This second young master, with such temperament, could only act along with the momentum. Since he is willing to participate in the Imperial examination, he should be bestowed with honor and fame.

Whatever he needed would be granted, as long as he was willing to enter the system of the Da Jin court. Da Jin was willing to give all they could offer.

“Master, if you wish, you could top every Imperial examination you participate in, no matter what you write in your answer sheet!”

Xiao Yi was fairly confident. Even though he had only heard part of the news, some things were evident with a little push.

“When I came to Fengtian City, my steward told me the same, but he was unable to confirm the truth of the news. You, as a member of the Xiao family, have more tapped sources of information than my steward. It seems the matter is indeed true!”

Feng Qing’an felt subtle at this moment.

Although the Da Jin court valued him highly, giving him a sense of satisfaction, he felt distaste and rejection when he thought about how his rank in an exam he had not yet taken was already predetermined.

He was aware of his literary talents and academic aptitude. He could strive to become a Child Student or a Scholar if he was in his previous state. After ten years of hard work, he could indeed become one.

After cultivating, with sharp hearing and photographic memory, even becoming an Advanced Scholar was not difficult. However, like his elder brother, becoming a Championing Scholar based on pure talent and learning was too much to ask of him.

Now, someone was telling him that as long as he wished, he could be like his elder brother, winning the top position all the way, recreating his elder brother’s glorious achievement from three years ago.

Honestly, Feng Qing’an didn’t feel much joy, but instead found it boring. Originally, he wanted to participate in the Imperial examination to test the knowledge he had gained over the years.

But now that his rank was predetermined, what was the point of testing?

How boring!

“Therefore, Young Master, you don’t need to worry about the examination. You can visit various places in Fengtian City before the Imperial Examination begins. Yun family’s Medicine King Pavilion, Shi family’s Weaponry Shop, Sun family’s Mechanism Tower, Zhang family’s Scripture Library, you can visit them all. You might find some unexpected surprises!”

Xiao Yi didn’t even blink, a blatant diversionary tactic.

That rascal Yun Lin led people to their Xiao family’s base and forced him to conduct the tour of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation, but he wasn’t going to let the other families evade. If we’re going down, we all go down together.

“Shi, Sun, Zhang, are these the surnames of the other prominent families in Fengtian City?”

Feng Qing’an could see the intention of this young master at a glance, but he didn’t care, because he was very interested.

From one look, he knew that these families were able to stand in Fengtian City because they had mastered irreplaceable skills.

The Yun family was famous in Da Jin for their skill in refining elixirs. He was very interested in the elixirs they created. He didn’t believe that those master craftsmen could only make some aphrodisiac elixirs.

“Yes, those few families, along with the Xiao family, have been collectively referred to by some as the Five Great Families of Fengtian by those who like to gossip!”

“Interesting. I will visit the places you mentioned in the next few days. Apart from those, are there any other interesting places in Fengtian City?”

“One of the four greatest academies in the world, the Longyin Academy, is just outside Fengtian City. I heard that the academy recently hired a few new teachers. I wonder if you’re interested?”

“Teachers?”

Feng Qing’an’s eyebrows slightly rose. These teachers who could catch the attention of the Young Master must be extraordinary, not merely academically inclined,

“When were they hired?”

“At the beginning of this year. Those were very knowledgeable sages. Before joining the academy, they were Wandering Taoist Priests, rumored to have crossed the Wan Li to come here from the north of Nan Hua Continent!”

“Nan Hua Continent? Across the Wan Li!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’an understood, feeling as though he was enlightened.

Although this young master was leading him on a wild goose chase, clearly harboring no good intentions, he didn’t hold any malice either. His actions were a classic case of if I can’t live in comfort, nobody else can either.

“Nan Hua Continent is the name of the land beneath our feet. I heard that beyond the boundless ocean, there are many lands that are no less significant than the Nan Hua Continent, but the exact number of such continents, even the sages did not know!”

Xiao Yi explained, afterward expressing a sigh,

“The vastness of this world, makes me feel as insignificantly small as a mayfly!”

“How large is the Nan Hua Continent?”

Finally knowing the name of the land beneath his feet, Feng Qing’an continued to ask.

So far, he had only traversed several regions of Da Jin, and beyond the borders of Da Jin, he only knew of a few neighboring countries. But beyond those countries, he was utterly clueless and in the dark, and he had never even heard of places further away.

“I’ve asked this question as well, but only one gentleman gave me an answer. He told me that our Nan Hua Continent stretches more than fifty thousand leagues from south to north, but as for its breadth from east to west, even he didn’t know!”

“…”

At this moment, Feng Qing’an was filled with nothing but astonishment. Although he had predicted that the world was vast, having seen the underworld before, its vastness still exceeded his imagination.

“It looks like, if there’s a chance, I should go consult them as well!”

The origins of those gentlemen were not a secret, but surprisingly, they didn’t know how vast the continent under their feet was—this was somewhat outrageous. However, this expansive world made Feng Qing’an’s heart race and his emotions surge.

“Although these gentlemen remain in the academy, they hardly show their faces now and only come out to teach when they feel like it. But with your status, Young Master, you should be able to easily meet them if you visit Longyin Academy!”

Xiao Yi said with a smile.

When those Taoist priests came to Fengtian City, their respective families had tried their best to form alliances, but the priests paid them no attention. They made a round and then simply entered Longyin Academy, leaving no hope for the families to win them over.

“What status? I’m just a modest Child Student!”

“Young Master, you are joking!”

With no other topics for conversation, Feng Qing’an did not linger long in the Ten Thousand Demon Nation. Accompanied by Black Mountain and Bai Yao, he exited along the same way he had come, soon spotting the Lock Demon Tower and the tower block standing next to it from afar.

“Farewell, Young Master. If you ever find yourself bored, you are always welcome back to our Ten Thousand Demon Nation!”

Right as he was about to step onto the flying bridge plank road that led back to the human realms, Xiao Yi expressed his farewells respectfully, feeling quite relieved in his heart that he was finally able to send Feng Qing’an off.

While the Luo family still had intentions of winning him over, the Xiao family had no such inclination. After a family decision, they gave up on the idea. They understood well that their small temple was incapable of retaining such a patron deity.

“Alright. I’ll visit again after some time. By the way, when I come back next time, can I directly enter, or do I need someone to guide me, or perhaps some kind of unique token?”

“Uh…”

Initially just merely being polite, Xiao Yi gawked at Feng Qing’an in surprise. Hadn’t he shown no interest in the Ten Thousand Demon Nation? Despite having explained so much, he never saw him step down to enjoy himself with a demoness. Then, why would he want to come back a second time?

“What’s the matter? You don’t welcome me?”

“How could that happen?”

Xiao Yi forced out a laugh and hurriedly reached into a pocket to pull out a dark-colored token. On one side, it was inscribed with a lifelike depiction of thousands of demons, and on the other side, the words “Ten Thousand Demons,” which contained a strange, soul-stirring power.

“This is the Ten Thousand Demon Order. Whenever you come to the Ten Thousand Demon Nation, as long as you hold this token, you’ll receive the best treatment!”

“Is that so!”

Feng Qing’an accepted the peculiar token and examined Xiao Yi, the family scion with a gorgeous face but a rather tough demeanor.

“Young Master, what’s wrong?”

Upon noticing Feng Qing’an’s gaze, Xiao Yi, who had just handed over the token, flinched and retreated a step. He couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. After all, he was self-aware; his face definitely tailored to some people’s particular taste.

“Nothing!”

Feng Qing’an deeply looked at the family scion one last time, then turned to step into the flying bridge. At this moment, he was emitting a hazy glow that had not been there before.

The Cave Sky spirit!

It showed up again as he was leaving!

What the hell is this guy trying to do?

Feng Qing’an, who was walking on the plank bridge, felt confused. He was feeling the power of space distortion. Heaven and earth seemed to be flipping upside down.

However, as he got to the end of the plank road, the wooden flooring beneath his feet was replaced by solid rock. He hadn’t returned to the human realm!

This wasn’t Fengtian City!

A vague fog filled everything before his eyes, and a slightly confused voice echoed in his ear,

“Can you see me?”
