The wine stall that had been deserted was now bustling again, the table in the left corner where the newly acquainted group gathered became the most extravagant table. Grandpa Zhou with a heart desire that he had been holding back from the start began to speak.
“Liong Boy! From your clothes and your movements, you are still very blind to this Green Jungle/Kangow World. Wouldn't it have occurred to you to join a certain guild or sect?” A wide smile accompanies Grandpa Zhou's every word.
Indirectly he invited Yuan Liong to join him. Yuan Liong understood the meaning of Grandpa Zhou's words, in his heart he already intended to join a certain Guild or Sect. However, for now, Yuan Liong still had some doubts and was not willing to be tied to any Sects or Guilds.
It had been a week since Yuan Liong had been circling and traveling around Xia Yu City, and he had not received any useful information for him. Yuan Liong understands very well, that to more easily obtain various kinds of information in the martial world, one must use certain means.
Good centers and sources of information are guilds or sects, then wine stalls for exchanging information and hearsay. Don't forget, of course, to pay certain informants.
Giving Grandpa Zhou a little face, Yuan Liong asked, “Senior! What advantages will juniors get if juniors join senior Sects? Junior also doesn't know what or what sect seniors belong to.” His expression was flat, he even tried to hide his intentions.
“Liong Boy! This old man will be frank, I noticed your inner strength is very high for a kid at your age. However, these old eyes also see the lack of combat experience, as well as the moves of the moves, be it Blowing or Weapons, correct?” Grandpa Zhou guessed.
“Joining a certain Sect or Guild will hone your flaws in both respects. Then within the Sect or Guild there is of course guaranteed resources to train for each member,” he continued.
“Liong Boy! For the old sect itself to still be located in the Southern region, it was approximately two day journey from this Xia Yu City. That is the Heavenly Dragon Sect,” said Grandpa Zhou ending his speech with a look of pride.
Murong Qiu, who was listening to this conversation, was shocked with a pale face, her eyes shining brightly. The Heavenly Dragon Sect was very famous in this Southern region, which was a top-class sect.
All cultivators wished they could be chosen as a disciple of the sect. She looked enviously at Yuan Liong, the young man was able to obtain an opportunity like this without having to follow the exams and procedures that the Heavenly Dragon Sect had laid down long ago, what a great fortune.
Yuan Liong, who had just come down the mountain, didn't really understand everything in the Martial World, including the big sects, so he politely refused.
“An invitation from Senior, for the time being, let Junior keep it and think about it later, later in the future Junior will definitely come and visit Senior,” he replied.
Grandpa Zhou did not insist, his face still smiling as he took out a golden token from under the robe, which he then handed over to Yuan Liong.
“Kid! The next time you visit the Heavenly Dragon Sect, you can simply show this token to the sect gatekeeper, and things will be easy for you.”
Yuan Liong received the gold token and then deposited it into the universe ring.
The fun at the table continued until two hours had passed. Each of them said goodbye, Murong Qiu stood up first then said. “It is an honor for Junior that Senior, along with brother Liong and younger sister Jieruo are willing to stay in the City Lord's Mansion for the next few days. Junior is sure that Senior came to this City to take a look at the Alchemy Festival in Xia Yu City, right!”
Receiving the invitation they all did not refuse, as they rose to follow the direction the Miss walked.
News of this Alchemy Festival in Xia Yu City had spread since a month ago. That's why Xia Yu City became the busiest and busiest city in this month. Various types of people from various cities came to celebrate or just have a look to add to the experience.
Some wished that they could meet a Top-Level Alchemist, it was common knowledge that Alchemists were a collection of arrogant humans. They believed Alchemy Techniques were more complicated than Martial Techniques, even becoming an Earth Grade Alchemist was very difficult.
To practice Alchemy itself requires rare materials, and every failure in refining or training is the same as wasting rare materials for nothing.
Moreover, any cultivator who wanted to take a big step had to rely on the pills that the Alchemists provided, because this was why Alchemists were extremely arrogant and haughty.
There were also those who just wanted to see the crowds and fistfights, and there were those who wanted to participate in the Alchemy refining technique itself.
Yes, the name of the event was the Alchemy Festival, but they were cultivators. A cultivator's life should not include a competitive arena so that they can exchange some moves. In this arena, several major sects often sent emissaries to see talented seeds they could raise as outer sect disciples.
And the highlight of this Alchemy Festival was the public auction held by the Xia Yu City auction house.

The City Lord's Mansion is the largest building in Xia Yu city, this building is majestic like a mini imperial Castle with high walls surrounding it. From a distance, four people came towards the gates of the City Lord's Mansion, a girl in a red suit leading the way.
The guard who saw the approaching girl bowed respectfully and then said. “Open the gate! The young lady has returned.”
“Uncle guards don't need to be so polite,” said the girl, stepping inside.
The three guests invited by Miss followed behind her without saying anything.
Along the way to the main hall, they came across several servants, who saluted the young lady. The presence of the other three behind their young lady made the maids whisper to one another. They had never seen the young lady bring a few guests in all this time.
Murong Qiu ignored the attitude of the maids, she waved at one of the maids. “Aunt! … Prepare a banquet and also provide three rooms for these guests, they will be staying at this Mansion for the next few days.”
“Yes, young lady,” replied the servant.
Within the main hall of the City Mansion, several people had gathered.
Sitting on the main seat of the hall, Lord City Lord majestically, he was a well-proportioned middle-aged man, in a white suit and draped in a green robe, covering the sturdy muscles beneath the suit.
Roman face with a strong jaw, accompanied by sharp eyes, a sharp nose. Complementing the handsome face of the middle-aged man with lips and a thin mustache decoration on it.
He was the ruler of Xia Yu City. “Murong Sun.”
His prowess was not mere nonsense with a Late Earth Realm cultivation level. Keep in mind, in Xia Yu City only a few people managed to train all the way to the Late Earth Stage Realm.
