Cultivation Mission System - Chapter 23
Mo Feng was excited to see the outside world.
Even the Red Mountain city is very different from Earth, different people, monster beasts, fighting, etc., He couldn’t help look forward to seeing what more he can experience.
Hong’er, on the other hand, was crying her eyes out. Since a kid, this is the place she lived in, and it was hard for her to leave this place and familiar city. Thankfully she was calmed down soon by Mo Feng and Little Grey, but she was still gloomy.
It will take 3 days to reach Capital city with this entourage. Mo Feng decided to spend 3 days gaining more proficiency points by practising [Godly Elephant Prajna Scripture] and increasing his Qi value.
They spent the whole day travelling while the food was served to their carriage by the maids. Only at tt night, they stopped and tents were put up for resting. Mo Feng was invited by Long Yingfeng to have dinner together in his tent.
He was excited to spend time with Long Yingfeng because he would like to know more about the outside world and Longfeng academy.
He cleaned himself and soon reached the tent and entered once he got the permission.
Long Yingfeng was sitting on a table while being served exotic meat food. Looking at Mo Feng entering he invited inside and started talking about random things about the situation of REd Mountain city.
Mo Feng talked for a while, but he couldn’t hold himself and asked “Lord Yingfeng, can you tell me about the selection test of Longfeng academy?”
Long Yingfeng smiled slightly “I was wondering when you would ask me that question.”
Mo Feng smiled in embarrassment; seeing this Long Yingfeng laughed heartily.
“First you need to know the Longfeng academy is divided into 3 schools. School of Warriors, School of Politics, and School of Inventives.”
“School of Warriors main focus is to train the students for battle and cultivation. You will experience battles with monster beasts and other human groups while in the school.”
“School of Politics is to train students in politics; this school is mainly for the younger generation of the royal family and the family of officials working in Longfeng country.”
“School of Inventives is to train students who are specialised in Alchemy, Talisman creation, Formations, Weaponsmiths, Arraymasters, etc.,”
Seeing Mo Feng who is listening intently, he continued, “Now lets come to the selection test part.”
“Each school’s selection differ according to their specification. Let’s say, for example, School of politics will be a test of your intellect and written tests regarding laws of the country and various aspects regarding ruling the nation.”
“School of inventives tests are based on students knowledge and experience in the fields like alchemy, formations, etc.,”
“School of warriors, as you might have guessed, focus mainly on the student’s cultivation and battle talent.”
“And I’m sure you will be able to pass the selection based on what I have seen in the competition in Red Mountain city.”
“Thank you for your praised Lond Yingfeng” Mo Feng smiled and replied modestly.
Mo Feng then hesitated to ask a question and seeing that Long Yingfeng spoke with a proud face “If you have any question, ask me now. Not many have this chance as you have!!”
Mo Feng calmed down and asked “Lord Yingfeng, forgive me if it was rude, but what is your cultivation level? And what is the cultivation level after Innate Qi master?”
Long Yingfeng didn’t get angry at Mo Feng asking his personal question of his cultivation level and patiently replied: “You won’t be able to understand my cultivation level even if I tell you however, I can answer your second question.”
“Once a cultivator pass through Innate Qi level, he or she reaches the level of Spirit Qi Masters. They are commonly called as Spirit masters and spirit masters are split into 5 levels. I won’t go in detail about the five levels or the level beyond Spirit masters and they will be taught to you by the academy when you reach certain cultivation stage. Knowing it early will do you no good.”
Even though Mo Feng needed to know more about it, he didn’t push further and asked more about the capital city and Longfeng country.
Long Yingfeng explained what he could which is common knowledge in the capital city and straightforwardly told him that he can’t answer certain questions if it a secret or beyond Mo Feng’s understanding.
One such question is Du Jun. Mo Feng asked about the background of Du Jun and if there is any bad relationship between him and Long Yingfeng.
He only got the answer that Du Jun is an Inner sect elder of the Thousand poison Serpent Sect, and it was a sect situated in a mysterious location in the Longfeng country, and there are some fights between the academy and the sect in the past which created some friction between them.
The dinner ended well and he returned with satisfaction and trained all night.
For the next two days, he has spent the dinner time with Long Yingfeng asking various questions about his skills and he learnt a lot. This also caused the surprise and envy of many soldiers and servants in the entourage.
They have never seen Long Yingfeng proactively inviting and conversing with someone before and wondered what is special about this Mo Feng.
Finally, on the fourth day morning, Mo Feng saw a distant massive city wall which is spread for kilometres in length and wondered how big is this city. But when they got closer to the city walls, he realised that they are not only too long, but it is also too damn high.
The city wall is easily around 200 feet high and after asking the soldiers, he understood it was built in such a way to defend against flying type monster beasts.
The entourage neared the city gate and they had to cross a 40 feet bridge to enter the gate and under the gate was a “moat” filled with aquatic monster beasts built to defend against enemy attack according to the soldiers.
Mo Feng cursed in his heart ‘How is this a moat? It’s a damn fucking river which is going on for kilometres along the city wall.’
Mo Feng was speechless seeing the level of security of the capital city just by seeing the city wall and moat and wondered what kind of checking he had to go through before entering the city.
But, surprisingly they didn’t have a hard time entering the city, and he learnt it was because of the Long Yingfeng who was in a very special position in the royal family.
Long Yingfeng and his entourage bid goodbye to them and gave information about good inns in the capital city. But Mo Feng has no interest to go to the inn and he started moving around the capital city with Hong’er.
The city was too bustling compared to Red Mountain city. There were various types of people moving around in mounts and carriages, and even commoners are very happy and guards are everywhere patrolling the city.
Overall, he liked the atmosphere of the capital city so far.
After enjoying themselves and buying a map of the city and some items they liked, they went to an inn near the assembly site of selections.
Once he checked in, he took out the map and found that the city is in a square shape with each side wall is 5 miles long. and each corner was covered with a monster beast forest facing outside the city with city walls as a barrier for the inside.
The city is divided into 3 sections. The Royal Palace in the centre, then the inner city where the families of royal officials and generals, and their families lived, and finally the outer city is divided into 6 districts, with each side divided into 2 districts on West, North and South.
Each district has divided into certain aspects like one district is for merchants, one district is full of the shopping district, one district is a slum area, etc.,
The Longfeng academy occupied the entire east side of the outer city, and the only entrance to it is through the inner city.
After checking the map and understanding the layout of the city to an extent, Mo Feng understands the place he came across is only the main route from the antrance of the city to the inn.
He closed the map and moved to the backyard to practice his skills. He learned lots from Long Yingfeng and he need to assimilate his knowledge before the selection and improve his strength further.
His plan was to improve all his skills to another level in the next seven days.
