But here in Zhongzhou City, everyone managed to endure.
Even the Lord of Xuan Sheng had a rather unpleasant expression, but he did not argue.
During the Four-Domain Grand Competition, not only were there the leaders of the Alchemy Pavilions and top alchemists from each domain, but also high-level officials from the Martial Domain's Alchemy Pavilion. In the Northern Heavenly Domain, he was a formidable figure, but here, he was merely an ordinary Medicine King sent down from the Martial Domain's Alchemy Pavilion and was quite inconspicuous.
Here, it was best to keep a low profile; otherwise, it would be easy to attract unnecessary trouble.
The middle-aged steward said nothing more, his attitude turned very cold, leading Qin Chen and the others deep into Zhongzhou City, as if they owed him money.
This was quite normal; in the Tianwu Continent, the overall strength of the Northern Heavenly Domain was the weakest. In this survival-of-the-fittest continent where the strong were respected, being weak was a sin greater than anything else. "This time at the Alchemy Grand Competition, all participants from the Tianwu Continent will be residing in Fengyun Dan Garden. Fengyun Dan Garden was originally the property of our Zhongzhou City's Alchemy Pavilion, where many facilities and spirit herb gardens of the Zhongzhou City Alchemy Pavilion are located. Rare spirit herbs are cultivated there, so once you enter, do not wander around carelessly to avoid damaging the spirit herb gardens. If any rare spirit herbs are lost, everyone will have a hard time." The middle-aged steward said coldly.
Damn!
Everyone was furious.
What does this mean? Are they treating them like thieves? "Rest assured, although we come from the Northern Heavenly Domain, we are of notable status. The worst among us is a core elder of the Alchemy Pavilion headquarters of a domain. Usually, applying for king-level spirit herbs is all it takes, and compared to ordinary Medicine Kings from some advanced forces, our status is much higher. We would not engage in the destruction of others' spirit herb gardens." Elder Huangfu Nan could no longer hold back and spoke coldly.
The middle-aged steward's face immediately turned ugly. Was he being mocked for his low status?
Indeed, although he was from Zhongzhou City’s Alchemy Pavilion and quite experienced, he was merely a steward.
But precisely because Zhongzhou City was so powerful, he was just a steward in the Alchemy Pavilion; otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to guide guests. Compared to Elder Huangfu Nan and the others who served as core elders in the remote Northern Heavenly Domain, he had a much harder time.
A bunch of country bumpkins.
The middle-aged steward's face turned pale with anger, yet he was speechless.
His constipated expression, however, made the people from the Northern Heavenly Domain feel immensely satisfied and secretly cheer.
Zhongzhou City was vast. Under the middle-aged steward’s lead, everyone traveled in a special flying vessel for quite a long time before finally arriving at Fengyun Dan Garden.
Fengyun Dan Garden, the number one garden in Zhongzhou City.
Covering an area of three thousand six hundred hectares, its size was comparable to a small city, and the venue for the Alchemy Grand Competition was held right here.
At the outskirts of Fengyun Dan Garden, a group of Martial Emperors stood guard, each exuding an extraordinary presence, emanating a terrifying aura that made one's heart race. Seeing this, everyone secretly felt apprehensive. Compared to the Martial Emperors from the Northern Heavenly Domain, the aura of the Martial Emperors from the Eastern Continent was indeed much more intimidating. Perhaps it was due to the higher concentration of true qi in the Eastern Continent, resulting in the true essence in these Martial Emperors being generally denser than that of their Northern Heavenly Domain counterparts, thus making their presence even more extraordinary.
"This is Fengyun Dan Garden." The middle-aged steward brought everyone to the entrance, a trace of mockery on his face as he said, "The Four-Domain Alchemy Grand Competition will be held in ten days. You are neither early nor late in arriving; you will stay in Fengyun Dan Garden during these days. However, remember not to cause trouble in Zhongzhou City. This place is not like the Northern Heavenly Domain, where there are many experts. If you get into trouble, no one will protect you."
