"With such a big city like Central Region, I wonder where the branch palace of Yutian Palace is. Maybe we should ask someone?" Su Yi felt like they had been walking for almost half an hour in this huge Central Region city, but it seemed like they were still on the outskirts. Central Region city was much bigger than they had imagined. It would probably take a whole day to cross it, even with their energy.
"Do you think just anyone on the street knows where the branch palace of Yutian Palace is? Besides, not many people even know about the branch palace. Those who do know about Yutian Palace definitely aren't ordinary people," Xi Wuqing snapped at Su Yi, annoyed.
"Then what should we do?" muttered Su Yi.
"Come with me, don't wander around. I happen to know the Yutian Palace, one of the palaces inside the Central Region city."
Xi Wuqing raised an eyebrow and his figure swiftly moved through the crowd.
At this moment, Xi Wuqing's footsteps seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, they were quite mysterious, appearing as slippery as an eel in the crowd.
"You could have told me earlier."
Su Yi rolled his eyes, but had no choice but to follow behind, using the Hundred Transformations Step.
The Central Region city was crowded with people from all walks of life.
With his sharp spiritual power, Su Yi could tell from the surrounding discussions that many people were visiting the Central Region city for the first time, and were amazed by it.
Of course, most of the discussions revolved around the upcoming Saint Martial Assembly.
The wide streets were now quite crowded, with armored squads patrolling along the streets from time to time.
Occasionally, a fierce wind blood wolf would howl as it passed by the low sky. Mounted on top were patrol teams wearing armor, their presence even more intimidating.
Xi Wuqing led the way, cleverly avoiding the patrol teams without leaving a trace.
Su Yi, the Green Emperor, followed closely behind Xi Wuqing.
As for the bustling shops on the city streets, they displayed a wide variety of eye-catching goods, which amazed Su Yi.
For instance, Su Yi was surprised to see someone selling demon beast mounts directly, something rare in other places.
After about half an hour, the number of people on the streets started to decrease. Compared to the previous liveliness, there was a sense of tranquility, but it was still very lively.
After walking through several more streets, Xi Wuqing finally slowed down his pace.
And at that moment, Su Yi was quite surprised as he looked around and noticed many people with a different kind of soul energy. What was even more important was that Su Yi hadn't paid attention to the large crowd before, but now with fewer people on the street, he noticed that many of them had a similar badge on their shoulders.
The badges had different colors and slight variations in design, but all of them had a vivid lightning pattern in the center, as if the lightning was actually flashing. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like the lightning could emit light.
"We have arrived!" Xi Wuqing stopped and looked at the palace buildings in front of them, telling Su Yi .
Su Yi stopped and followed Xi Wuqing's gaze. In front of them was a grand palace, not too big or too small, with an ancient and humble aura. It looked modest and sturdy in the Central Region city.
In the middle of the palace complex, there was a tall tower that rose up from the ground. It had seven floors and was completely green, emitting a faint light.
The tower of seven floors was not the tallest in the buildings of Central Region, but somehow, it gave off a sense of oppression. The more you looked at it, the more your heart trembled!
At the entrance, on a huge stone, were carved the words "Yutian Palace". Behind them were the words "Central Region City" and they flickered with a faint light.
"Is this the branch of Yutian Palace?" Su Yi looked around. Although this place in Central Region City was not particularly impressive, it was also not bad. Judging by the appearance of this branch, as Xi Wuqing had said, the Yutian Palace organization was truly dedicated to cultivating and refining tools and elixirs. From the facade of this branch, although it was heavy and weathered, as if it had been through the passage of time, you could still feel a sense of peace.
At the entrance, there were many people lining up. It seemed like they were older members of family sects accompanying younger disciples. On the young faces, there was a mix of excitement and nervousness.
"The Saint Martial Assembly is happening recently, so there will be many alchemists, craftsmen, and Soul Tamers coming to Yutian Palace for testing," said Xi Wuqing softly, his eyes scanning the entrance.
"Are all of them alchemists, craftsmen, and Soul Tamers?" Su Yi looked at the young men and women in the line. There were at least a hundred people, all with impressive aura and the identity of an alchemist, craftsman, or Soul Tamer.
You see, when Su Yi was in the Divine Sword School, he rarely encountered alchemists, craftsmen, or Soul Tamers among his peers. So, it was his first time seeing so many of them at once, and he couldn't help but feel amazed.
Alchemy masters and craftsmen are highly respected everywhere they go, even within any sect or school.
At this moment, there are so many alchemy masters, craftsmen, and possibly even Soul Tamers, patiently queuing outside the inconspicuous entrance of Yutian Palace.
With the power of his soul, Su Yi easily discerned that many of the powerful figures accompanying the younger generation present here possess formidable strength.
It is not difficult to imagine that these people are renowned powerhouses in the outside world, yet here they patiently wait outside the secondary palace of Yutian Palace.
"The Central Region is incredibly vast. Taking advantage of this Saint Martial Assembly, many sects and families have brought their younger generations to test themselves and see if they can gain recognition from Yutian Palace."
Xi Wuqing looked into Su Yi's thoughts. Among the young Soul Tamers, alchemists, and artifact refiners waiting in line, only a few would be able to pass the Yutian Palace test. Xi Wuqing said softly, "But not everyone can pass the test. Those who do pass and gain recognition from the Yutian Palace will be the best among the alchemists, artifact refiners, and Soul Tamers."
As Xi Wuqing finished speaking, his eyes also sparkled with a glimmer, filled with enthusiasm and a sense of pride.
In general, there are two types of artifact refiners in this world: alchemists and Soul Tamers. Both are real professions, but one has passed the Yutian Palace test, while the other has not.
A roar shook the sky as a massive spirit beast appeared, flapping its wings in the air and casting a giant shadow as dark as a thundercloud.
