Twenty-Seventh Slight Achievement

  In the Violet Dragon Empire, among the so-called top ten sects, Jianzong is just one of them. Behind it are many other sects such as Quanzong, Zhangzong and more. Each sect leader's strength is above the Dou Huang level, extremely powerful. Take Jianzong for example, mastering sword techniques can be said to be divine, in the Violet Dragon Empire, no one dares to say they are second, let alone first. As for Quanzong, Zhangzong and other sects, they also have their own divine techniques.

  Tang Yan's sect was just a small school, not even reaching the level of a proper sect, let alone a clan or a temple. Above temples were pavilions. As for ancient temples and pavilions that still existed, people from those places were rarely encountered, their whereabouts had always been extremely mysterious.

  The Tianying Sect is just a third-rate sect in the eyes of these sects, and Dou Ling is like pinching an ant to death in the eyes of Dou Huang. However, compared to Tang Yan, it is a very powerful sect. Last time, in Shisong Town, he had a hard fight with the second elder of the Tianying Sect, which made him feel a bit overwhelmed. If their sect master were to take action, it would be a big trouble, but fortunately, at least until now, the sect master of the Tianying Sect has not appeared.

  This way, Tang Yan can focus on his cultivation for a while. He had promised Zi Lan, the young mistress, that after he becomes stronger, he would rebuild the Fist Gate and take revenge on the Tian Ying Sect. Being able to kill is of course the best, you guys say it's true or not. So, after Tang Yan hooked up with Zi Lan, the pressure was really huge - taking revenge, rebuilding the sect, protecting her, and also making a lot of money to support her, etc.

  "I merge, I separate, I curse you that separation is union, and union is separation!" Tang Yan shouted while practicing in the snowy realm.

  It's not that Tang Yan is stupid, but the other party didn't explain clearly and ran away, leaving a student from a scientific civilization to grind on this sentence. After practicing for ten days, he was still stuck at the original level, with only a slight increase in speed when unleashing a single sword strike, without any impressive aspects. Fortunately, there was one thing that comforted Tang Yan - the internal Qi in his body increased day by day, and he was close to becoming a One-Star Great Martial Artist.

  "Never mind, I'll spend more time on the Devouring Dragon Technique and strengthen my spirit. Later, I can devour a third-tier magical beast." Tang Yan had already reached the Great Dou Shi level. As his Dou Qi advanced in rank, his spiritual power also became much stronger, especially during these days of cultivation in the snowy realm. His progress was very rapid. At the Dou Shi level, Tang Yan was confident that he could devour a second-tier magical beast. A Great Dou Shi should be able to devour a third-tier one, but Tang Yan had not tried it yet.

  Every day, after eating, Tang Yan would sit cross-legged in the horse carriage and close his eyes to practice the "Union of Separation and Unity" sword technique. He would spend half of his time practicing this technique, which was a combination of separation and unity, and the other half cultivating the "Dragon Heart Technique". Day after day, he practiced tirelessly, occasionally teasing Zi Lan, his junior sister, in the carriage. Life was quite good, not at all like that of the former destitute Seventh Brother.

  "Your Excellency, ahead is Fengdu City. Everyone suggests resting for a day in Fengdu City and departing again tomorrow. I wonder what Your Excellency thinks?" Cold Mountain Team Leader said to Zilan and Tang Yan in the car.

  "Alright, let's rest in Fengdu City for a while and set off again tomorrow morning!" Tang Yan said as he got out of the carriage, looking at the ancient city in front of him. He cursed under his breath, "Damn it, it really does look like Xianyang of Qin State, it's huge, no wonder they call it a city!"

  Yes, the city wall is already over 20 meters high. There are many soldiers standing at the gate, charging people who enter the city and checking for some wanted persons.

  Fifty-five mercenaries, a horse-drawn carriage, and not even enough gold coins to enter the city, but these soldiers were very arrogant, ordering the people inside the carriage to come out. Tang Yan didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he and Zilan cooperated and got out of the carriage, allowing several soldiers to search inside. Then they let them go, even adding a few polite words, saying it was an imperial regulation, and complimenting Zilan's beauty. Their quality was still good, they just took a few glances without using language to harass her.

  "Everyone go in and have a good meal at the tavern!" said Leng Shan to his companions behind him.

  The second carriage, for some reason, was not cooperating with the soldiers' investigation. The middle-aged and elderly people sitting in the carriage were constantly explaining something to the soldiers at the entrance. Although Tang Yan didn't know what they were talking about, he was certain that the people inside the carriage refused to come out. Tang Yan also found this matter strange, as no one had gotten off the carriage or horse along the way, and there hadn't been any sound, nor could it be determined whether they were male or female.

  "Let's go, what are you staring at here?" Zilan said, looking at Tang Yan who was gazing back at the horse carriage and soldiers.

  "Are you saying the person in the carriage is a man or a woman?" Tang Yan asked.

  "How did you know? What's going on? Do you want to go help them?" Zilan asked.

  "No, I'm just curious, why can't the people in the car see the light, it's really strange!" Tang Yan said.

  "We'll just go in, don't mind other people's business." Zilan said, pulling Tang Yan's hand as they left.

  "Alright!"

  As Tang Yan turned to leave, the soldiers outside also let them into Fengdu City. The reason was that the middle-aged man on the carriage gave their captain dozens of gold coins. They also allowed them to lift the curtain of the carriage and take a look inside. In this way, they let the carriage that had been following Tang Yan for several days enter Fengdu City.

  "Miss, just bear with it a little longer. Once we arrive at Purple Dragon City, everything will be fine! I'm sure the Dean will help me investigate and find out who's behind this!" The middle-aged man sitting on the horse-drawn carriage said in a low voice.

  "I know, for Father's sake, I remember your words." A soft voice like a gentle breeze came from inside the carriage.

  "Hmm. Wait a minute, let me talk to them and see if I can get you to ride with them in the same carriage to Purple Dragon City!" he said.

  "Why? Are you going to..."

  "Yes, I suspect they've been eyeing us already. For your safety, I can only lure the enemy away. You'll be safer with them too. Remember, the family's most precious treasure cannot fall into their hands!"

  "I know, but you have to be careful!" The woman inside the carriage said softly.

  They soon stopped the carriage behind the tavern where Tang Yan lived, and then entered the tavern. The man was dressed in a set of ordinary servant clothes, while the woman, like Zi Lan, wore a silk long skirt. With her slender figure and elegant steps, she followed closely behind the servant, causing the mercenaries inside who were eating, including Tang Yan, to involuntarily look at her.

  Unfortunately, the woman's face was covered with a white veil, so it was impossible to see what she looked like. Many men present made their judgments about her appearance. Some thought she might be as beautiful as Zi Lan, others thought she might have scars or birthmarks on her face, and of course, some even thought she might look like a pig.

  The middle-aged man who had previously bought several dark-skinned potatoes from Tang Yan looked over at him, smiled slightly and nodded in greeting. Then he turned to the owner of the wine shop: "Boss, give us a high-class room!"

  "Alright! I'll have Xiao Er take you upstairs!" The shopkeeper said, placing two gold coins on the table.

  As she went upstairs, her eyes involuntarily glanced over at Tang Yan, finding that Tang Yan's eyes were also looking back at her while he was eating. However, Tang Yan's gaze wasn't on her face, but rather on her body. A pair of fiery eyes stared at the twin peaks on her chest, which were slightly larger than a purple orchid, with a silly smile on his face, causing her to furrow her brow.

  "You say she is an ugly girl or a beauty?" Tang Yan said loudly to the men beside him who were wolfing down their food.

  "Boss, I think she's probably an ugly girl who can't see the light of day!" Several rough and tumble mercenaries replied to Tang Yan.

  "I'm saying the same thing, it's not just that she's ugly, but also scary!" Tang Yan nodded and then looked at the girl who was wiping her face on the stairs, only to find that there were a few fish-tail wrinkles at the corner of her eyes, clearly showing that she was smiling instead of being angry. This made Tang Yan think: "Could it be that she's not an ugly girl, but a beautiful one?"

  "Come on, let's all raise a glass to Commander Tang Yan!" Cold Mountain said with a hearty laugh.

  After dinner, they split up to go shopping in the city. Zilan washed up in her room after taking a bath, and Tang Yan also hastily washed himself with the water that Zilan had used, which wasn't dirty and even had many flower petals in it, smelling fragrant. It wouldn't be wasted, as one bucket of floral water could cost twenty silver coins.

  After washing, he was pulled by Zilan to go shopping. The big city is very lively, with people coming and going, and the sound of vendors calling out continuously. Even Tang Yan, who doesn't like shopping, enjoyed it, but what he liked wasn't the street food, but rather the beautiful women on the side of the road. Although they weren't as pretty as Zilan, looking at them was still okay. Ancient beauties aren't something everyone can see, unfortunately Tang Yan didn't have a camera to take a photo with one.

  "What are you staring at?" Zilan asked Tang Yan, who kept gazing at those girls.

  "It's our first time down the mountain, and we're a bit curious. What's going on? There are so many people up ahead, I wonder what they're selling. Let's go take a look!" Tang Yan discovered that there was a crowd of people gathered up ahead, all chattering about something.

  "Why are you drooling then?" Zilan followed Tang Yan towards the front where a crowd was gathering.

  "There's no way, the snacks here are too delicious!" Tang Yan didn't want to tell Zilan that he was staring at those beautiful women.

  "I say so too!" Zilan said, sniffing the fragrance all over the street.

  He slipped into the crowd, and Tang Yan became cheerful because he saw a young man pulling a second-tier magic beast that had not yet reached adulthood. On Earth, there were pet dogs, and in this other world, there were pet magic beasts. This magic beast was a Wind Leopard, similar to the Guardian Magic Beast of the Fist Sect. If raised for several years, it could advance to third or fourth tier. This Wind Leopard looked like it had been raised for one or two years, and it had to be said that it was quite sturdy.

  "This thing seems to have bitten someone!" Zilan said, staring at a large man with a bloody thigh on the ground.

  "It's not just a bite, I think this man has had half his leg eaten by this thing!" Tang Yan said, looking at the big man who was missing half of his calf.

  "Your Honor, you are right. This commoner's calf was bitten off by the lord's pet, and then it ate half of his leg!" a bystander said.

  “……”
