The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2570 - 2559: Arrival in the Middle Realm
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
While Ye Chenfeng was feigning unconsciousness.
Fan Qianrong’s fingers twitched slightly, and he slowly woke up from his coma.
Recalling the scene before he blacked out, his eyes instantly hardened, his gaze sweeping around. When he saw the unconscious Ye Chenfeng and Shen Tingyu nearby, he let out a breath of relief. His brows furrowed tightly— they had clearly been covered by the blood water, so how were they unharmed?
While Fan Qianrong was puzzled to the extreme, Shen Tingyu’s eyelids trembled twice. She slowly opened her eyes, even more confused than Fan Qianrong.
Finally, Ye Chenfeng, who had been pretending to be unconscious, also slowly opened his eyes. Before he feigned fainting, he had already put the Star Shifting Method, originally hanging on his back, into the Chaos Ring. After all, the Star Shifting Method was the supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan; if someone recognized it, it would cause no small amount of trouble.
Ye Chenfeng feigned confusion and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Fan Qianrong stood up and found himself at the spot beneath the Emperor Tree, yet that Emperor Tree had vanished without a trace. He speculated, "Looks like the Emperor Tree really had its own consciousness. We should have been saved by the Emperor Tree here."
"If I’m not mistaken, then the Emperor Tree must have perished together with the blood water, and that’s how we managed to claw our way back from death."
"I didn’t expect that within the Lower Realm there would be such a dangerous place. Even I nearly fell here."
Fan Qianrong extended his senses carefully to probe the surroundings, but could no longer detect anything strange.
Shen Tingyu sighed and said, "Master, what a pity about the Emperor Tree."
Fan Qianrong, however, shook his head and said, "It’s already a great fortune that we’re still alive. Now we should return to the Middle Realm!"
Casting a glance at the Dark Blood Scepter lying on the ground, Fan Qianrong picked it up and held it in his hand. He looked at Ye Chenfeng and asked, "Kid, do you still want this scepter?"
Ye Chenfeng had no fondness for dark Immortal Artifacts, especially one that was damaged. Although with his current rank as a supreme Artifact Refiner he could repair this Dark Blood Scepter, repairing a dark Immortal Artifact was not that simple.
After all, during the forging of many dark Immortal Artifacts, a lot of dark methods were used throughout, such as the blood of living people, the soul essence of cultivators, and so on. To repair a damaged Dark Blood Scepter might require these things as well; when it came to matters that touched his bottom line, Ye Chenfeng would absolutely not get involved.
Since Fan Qianrong was interested in the Dark Blood Scepter, Ye Chenfeng casually said, "I don’t want it."
Fan Qianrong nodded. He thought Ye Chenfeng was giving it to him, since this scepter was also an Immortal Artifact. Though damaged, it still had a certain value. "Once we reach the Middle Realm, this old man will compensate you. I don’t like taking advantage of others, especially juniors like you."
"Let’s go. There’s no reason to linger in the Lower Realm. I don’t want to delay the Middle Realm Alchemist Conference."
Ye Chenfeng and Shen Tingyu followed Fan Qianrong out from underground. By this time, all the Elders and Disciples within the Blood Origin Sect had already fled in a panic.
The entire Blood Origin Sect could be described as completely deserted.
The three of them stepped into the air and directly arrived on the Spirit Boat hovering in the sky.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng was safe and sound, Long Gaoyuan, who had been waiting on the Spirit Boat, finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
After they boarded the Spirit Boat.
Fan Qianrong steered the Spirit Boat all the way south. This Spirit Boat was extremely fast, and after traveling for two days—
The Spirit Boat stopped above an incomparably vast ancient plaza.
This ancient plaza was located in the middle of a huge desert; all around was an endless expanse of sand, and aside from the plaza, there were no other buildings here.
It could be said that this place was rarely visited by people.
Yet the entire plaza did not have a single grain of sand on it, appearing extremely clean.
This was the place that led to the Middle Realm, known as the Middle Realm Gate.
After disembarking from the Spirit Boat, Fan Qianrong casually put the Spirit Boat away into his storage ring. After two days of recuperation, Long Gaoyuan’s injuries had recovered quite a bit.
Upon arriving at this ancient plaza, Fan Qianrong gave Ye Chenfeng and Long Gaoyuan a brief explanation.
This ancient plaza was the only place in the entire Lower Realm that could lead to the Middle Realm.
One had to know that only when a Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage expert emerged in a Sect could the entire Sect relocate to the Middle Realm.
And as for how to open this Middle Realm Gate, the method was very simple.
There was an Array Eyes at the center of the plaza. As long as a Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage cultivator continuously poured Spiritual Energy into the Array Eyes, this Middle Realm Gate would open.
Of course, it had to be a Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage or above expert; only their Spiritual Energy could sustain the opening of the Middle Realm Gate. If someone below the Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage injected Spiritual Energy into the Array Eyes, there basically would be no reaction at all.
For a Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage expert, opening the Middle Realm Gate once would consume a massive amount of their own Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy consumed here could not be replenished by Elixir Pills and had to be slowly recovered on their own.
Therefore, in the Middle Realm there was a type of Jade Token called the Passage Jade. Once one possessed a Passage Jade, they could freely travel between the Middle Realm and the Lower Realm without needing to inject Spiritual Energy into the Array Eyes.
In the Middle Realm, not just anyone could obtain a Passage Jade, and the number of Passage Jades was extremely limited.
However, as a Ninth Grade Alchemist, Fan Qianrong happened to have a Passage Jade on him.
After finishing his explanation to Ye Chenfeng and the others.
Fan Qianrong flipped his palm, and a jade-green Passage Jade appeared in his hand. On the front of the Jade Token was carved the character "Passage," while on the back were carved the characters "Middle" and "Lower," meaning that it allowed passage between the Middle Realm and the Lower Realm.
As soon as the jade-green Passage Jade appeared in Fan Qianrong’s hand—
His Spiritual Energy suddenly poured into the Passage Jade, and the entire jade instantly radiated a brilliant jade-green light.
A gigantic "Passage!" character abruptly materialized in midair.
Immediately after.
The vast plaza began to tremble.
Dazzling light enveloped Ye Chenfeng and the others. When Ye Chenfeng came back to his senses, he found himself on another enormous plaza. There was no desert around at all, and the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was denser than in the Lower Realm. This plaza should have been within some Cultivator City, because Ye Chenfeng saw many cultivators gathered outside the plaza. This should be the Middle Realm.
Sure enough, Fan Qianrong said to Ye Chenfeng, "Kid, we’ve arrived in the Middle Realm. For now, you’ll serve as my and Tingyu’s attendant to accumulate some basic knowledge of Alchemy. I believe it won’t take you long to step into the ranks of Alchemists."
