Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang moved through the bustling streets and found the place he had been looking for, the Moon Night Dinner of the Qiling City. The best thing about the Central Plains was that the strongest faction ruled them, 'Frontier Council.' 

It was not ruled but governed. The strongest person in the city was the city lord; they would hold competitions to select one, and the cities often rivaled each other. These city lords were the people who were affiliated with various members of the Frontier Council and were responsible for scouting talented people from everywhere and recommending them to the higher forces. 

The cities in the central plain were divided into tiers. Cities with city lords in the Immortal King realm were the weakest of them all and called Tier One. Suppose the city lord was an Immortal Emperor. It will become a Tier Two city. The grades rose in rank. 

The higher the tier, the higher the population. However, one must not underestimate the City with Tier One. On a given day, a hundred thousand people passed through them. Most of them are cultivation experts. 

Central Plains was not a place for the weak; thus, none of the people here were 'mortals.' They were all cultivators. The proud Immortal Soul realm cultivators in the eastern barrens were nothing but doorkeepers in this part of the world. 

Shi Lang stood before the Moon Dining hall, and he was astonished at the luxurious place. The building was painted moonlight blue and had sapphire-colored windows on the second floor. On the peak of the second floor, there was a silver crescent moon.

The terran climbed five steps and came to the door. The doorkeepers bowed and pulled the glass doors open for him. Shi Lang stepped inside the establishment, and he was shocked. This place looked fragile, but formations guarded it, and even experts were hidden in the place. 

He moved up to the bar, and a beautiful bartender approached him. She asked with a blinding smile, "What can I get you, Sir?" 

Shi Lang replied, 'I am here to hand in a task.' 

His reply only echoed in her mind, and he did not use his lips. That said, he revealed his silver head-hunter plate. The bartender was surprised, and Shi Lang said, "One glass of some light spirit wine will do." 

The lady smiled, picked up a clay pot from behind her, and poured some of the liquor into a wide-mouthed cup. She said, "Please enjoy your drink. It is on the house." 

At the same time, her voice rang in Shi Lang's mind, 'You may submit the task on the second floor. Just tell the attendant to lead you to the big dipper room.' 

Shi Lang nodded to her thankfully and gulped down the contents of the wine. He kept the identity plate back and left the place. The business was booming, but not many people in the city would sit at the bar. After all, they all had some status and did not come alone to such a lavish place. 

Shi Lang came to the staircase leading to the second floor and said, "The big dipper room, please." 

The attendant was an Immortal Lord. However, he was quite old. He gazed at Shi Lang and nodded before he brought him upstairs in a hallway. The old man bowed slightly and gestured for Shi Lang to follow him. 

The terran did not say anything and complied. His ability let him sense through the entire floor. The people were eating and laughing with each other inside the rooms. After a few steps, they reached the big dipper room, and the old man pushed the door open. 

Shi Lang went inside and was surprised. This place was enchanted with space formation, and the door was labeled as a storeroom. Inside the room, a young man sat behind a counter. Watching the terran come over, the guy stood up and said, "Welcome. Are you coming in to submit a task or to accept a new one?" 

Shi Lang walked forward and said, "I would do both things. First, I would like to hand in a task, and second, I would like to accept a task." 

The young man nodded, and as Shi Lang reached the desk, he said, "Please show the evidence." 

Shi Lang placed the image stone on the table, and the young man said, "Please wait for a few minutes. I will get it confirmed soon." 

Then, the young man placed the image stone on an array pattern, and then Shi Lang watched the image stone vanish. The young attendant asked, "May I see your identity plate?" 

Shi Lang put the silver plate on the desk, and the young man took out a box filled with scrolls and said, "You can select a task from these scrolls. I will inscribe the progress once I receive confirmation of success from the headquarters." 

The terran began to skim through the contents of the box, and after reading a few of them, he picked up a task and said, "I will select this one." 

The young attendant nodded and said, "You must hunt five packs of Leaf wolves in the forest around the Qiling City. The task completion time is seven days. Do you accept?" 

Shi Lang nodded, and the young man handed him the scroll back. Then, the array pattern on the table glowed, and he picked up a sharp engraving knife and etched the number one on the surface of the plate. 

Then he waited for a few seconds before a pill bottle appeared on the array pattern, and the young man said, "This is your reward. Ten middle-grade Spirit Rejuvenation pills." 

Shi Lang nodded and took both the silver plate and the pill bottle before he left the place. He was going to a pill shop and buying a high-grade meridian washing pill for Yu Xiedi. Over the years, she had not received proper nutrition and her body was weak. He would have to affirm that her body was tempered before she could handle the stress of spirit cultivation.
