LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 222 Ke Chengsong Arrived_1
The area of Luo Mountain Prefecture is not considered large.
It has jurisdiction over only these eight counties.
In the entire Da Feng Dynasty, it can at most be considered an average-sized prefecture.
However, in recent years, with the continuous development of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,
the economic level and prosperity of Luo Mountain Prefecture have also increased by several times over.
It's true that within Luo Mountain Prefecture,
there are still places worried about food.
But at least, the number of people dying from hunger within Luo Mountain Prefecture has significantly decreased compared to other larger prefectures.
...
Outside Luo Mountain Prefecture, outside Qingshi City.
At this moment, a long line of people is silently queuing outside Qingshi City.
Waiting for the officials and soldiers inside Qingshi City to complete their identity checks.
Only then can those planning to enter the city gain entry into Qingshi City, presided over by the Luo Family.
Of course, this vast Qingshi City,
besides the city gates for ordinary people,
naturally also has many other special gates.
However, if you wish to pass through those special gates and enter Qingshi City quickly,
you will need to pay a very hefty entrance fee.
This is not something ordinary people can afford.
Or perhaps, your position under the Luo Family has reached a level of awesomeness.
In such a case, you can also go through those special gates
and quickly enter this grand city.
Does that seem a bit unfair?
Others need to queue to enter the city,
while those with great wealth can bypass all these cumbersome conditions.
For ordinary people, this indeed seems a bit unfair.
But you have to understand, that's just how this world works.
It's a world where the strong prey on the weak, where only the fittest survive.
The strong can control everything,
while the weak can't even control their own lives
and can only beg pitifully before the strong, hoping for a scarcely existing merciful heart.
Fairness???
In this cold and cruel world,
there's never been such a thing as fairness.
...
"Is this the Qingshi City of the Luo Family?"
Outside Qingshi City,
in an isolated and unpopulated hiding place,
a mysterious elder wearing a blood-red robe and emanating a tangible blood-red aura,
is now slightly squinting his blood-red eyes,
gazing calmly at the great expanse of the city.
"It's been quite some time since I last came to Luo Mountain Prefecture."
"The changes here in recent years really are somewhat beyond my expectations..."
After Ke Chengsong murmured to himself,
he silently walked towards the direction of Qingshi City.
Since he's already here, it's time to carry out the plan he had previously set.
Although he has no blood relation to the Luo Family,
he believes the current Qingshi City Luo Family should still be able to provide him with a substantial amount of energy, no?
He just wonders, after he refines all the cultivators of the Luo Family into blood essence and absorbs them completely,
how much will his cultivation improve?
Will it fully stabilize his current level and grant him some improvement?
Or will it directly elevate his cultivation to the Mortal Transcendence Intermediate Stage?
At that thought, Ke Chengsong couldn't help but shake his head silently.
It seems he's been pondering too much.
Even after refining all the blood-related members of the Xunyang Prefecture Ke Family into blood essence and absorbing it,
his cultivation had only barely progressed from Blood Cultivation Perfection to Mortal Transcendence Initial Realm.
And this current level is not even particularly stable.
In such a case, how could a small Qingshi City Luo Family help him break through his current level?
...
Noon,
a scorching sun hangs high in the sky.
At this moment, the earth seems like a high-temperature furnace,
bearing down with an almost unbearable heat.
So much so that one often can't help but frown at this extreme temperature.
Of course, this is only considering the situation outside Qingshi City.
Inside Qingshi City, due to the presence of the Cooling Charms,
the temperature always remains as pleasant as eternal spring.
Even at the gates of Qingshi City,
the temperature remains extremely cool,
making it extraordinarily comfortable.
But if, at this moment, someone steps out of the gates of Qingshi City, even by merely a step,
they would feel as if they have directly stepped into a red-hot furnace,
experiencing incredible discomfort.
Therefore, most of the soldiers guarding the city are inside Qingshi City.
Only a very few are located outside Qingshi City, tasked with maintaining order among the queuing crowds.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you think you're doing?"
"If you want to enter the city, you have to queue up."
"Do you see the line next to you?"
"If you wish to enter the city, get to the back of the line."
"Of course, if you're willing to pay an additional entrance fee, you surely can enter Qingshi City first." Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
At the gates of Qingshi City,
an Iron Armor-clad soldier, on guard duty,
sees an old man clad in a blood-red cloak,
with his head slightly lowered, appearing somewhat odd,
so he approaches the direction of the elder by a few steps.
