The Magician of Cultivation

Sima He, Song Chonglou and Cai Liangyu had known each other for a long time and their strengths were similar, but they had different ambitions.

Sima He cares about the people and chooses to go into politics to realize his inner ambitions; Cai Liangyu likes military life and chooses to join the army and serve on the "Will" airship, performing the guard mission arranged by the military; only Song Chonglou is the most obsessed with martial arts and has the highest achievements.

"I didn't expect that after just a few years, Song Chonglou has become a great martial artist. And like Cai Liangyu, he has also joined the army."

Sima He felt a little sad.

In fact, when he was welcoming Prince Lu Xue and Marshal Wu at the port, he saw Song Chonglou among the soldiers behind them.

It was just that the Imperial City had just experienced the "Beast Tide", and many government affairs were at a standstill. There were too many things to deal with. Moreover, the top five people in Xueyan Country were all in the City Lord's Mansion at this time, so how could he find time to leave?

"Sima He, my brother has specially approved the construction of a teleportation magic circle in the Imperial City. He has also raised the administrative level of the Imperial City to level one, and you will still serve as the lord of the Imperial City."

Prince Lu Xue said in a low, serious voice: "In addition, the Imperial City is adjacent to the Qixia Mountains, and the Warcraft Legion will also be stationed nearby."

Sima He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even hear what the prince said next.

Two words kept circling in his mind: teleportation magic circle, first-level city.

"Is the Imperial City finally going to become strong?"

Sima He clenched his fists and his eyes were red with excitement.

The resources available to first-tier cities are far beyond what they were before.

Whether it is in trade policy, garrison, city defense or people's livelihood, they will receive strong support from the Xueyan government.

Take the comparison between Yucheng and Liaocheng, without considering the population base, and only talking about education and power distribution.

There is only one magic and martial arts academy in Yucheng, Huaiyuan, while there are four academies in Liaocheng, namely Yalan, Xiangya, Nanning and the official one.

In addition, after the Royal City is upgraded to a first-level city, it can also apply to open branches of the Magicians Association and the Holy See.

The magicians in the Royal City can be certified as magicians nearby. When adventurers are injured, they can also receive treatment from the Light Magicians.

Sima He knelt on one knee and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to serve you and will not refuse even if I die."

"Sima He, get up."

Li Luxue patted his shoulder heavily and whispered, "When I was in Xueyan City, I heard that you loved the people like your own children."

"Both your majesty and I believe that you will be able to build the Imperial City even stronger. I hope that when I come back next time, the Imperial City will be a city that is no weaker than Liaocheng."

"Your Excellency, I am a humble servant... I am a humble servant..."

Sima He choked up and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"Haha... City Lord Sima, congratulations, congratulations!"

Ernst and Wu Guizhi both clasped their fists towards him and congratulated him. Liu Qiming and Kong Ciling also nodded in encouragement.

"My Lords, I am terrified!"

Sima He immediately bowed in return with a humble attitude.

...................................

After Li Yu left the City Lord's Mansion, he felt a palpitation in his heart.

"Humph, after waiting for so long, you finally can't help it?"

He sneered, and with the help of his Qinggong, he disappeared without a trace in an instant.

As the Dao Tree grew in his body and his cultivation improved, his control over spiritual energy became more and more handy.

With the powerful spiritual energy support during the opening period, the "Qinggong" has been able to stay in the air for a short period of time.

If things continue to develop in this way, he will be able to fly in his physical body when he enters the 'Golden Core Stage'.

If this happened in the world of cultivation in the previous life, it would not be surprising.

Not to mention the Jindan stage, even the Kaiguang stage or even the Qigong stage can cross the void in the flesh.

But in this world, it’s not possible.

The gravity here is much stronger than in the world of cultivation. Except for the great magician of the wind system, other fifth-level strongmen simply cannot offset the gravity, and barely staying in the air is already the limit.

In the southern part of Imperial City, about ten miles away from Huaiyuan Magic and Martial Arts Academy, there is a large manor.

In front of the largest building in the manor, hundreds of fighters gathered, holding long knives and broadswords and with ferocious looks on their faces.

They were wearing the same tight-fitting uniforms with a little wolf howling towards the sky embroidered on their chests. They were none other than the famous Greedy Wolf Mercenaries.

At the front of the crowd was a man wearing a wizard's robe, Sun Xiaowei. However, he was unusually calm at this moment, and the madness and violence in his eyes had completely disappeared.

The burly man beside Sun Xiaowei, with eyes as big as bells, shouted sternly: "Liang Hai, Guo Siyu, the Third Master wants to go in now. Are you planning to rebel if you don't make way?"

"Hong Bao, stop spitting blood on me."

Guo Siyu angrily scolded the burly man, and said sarcastically: "Third Master, please go back. No one can go in until the captain wakes up."

His name is very delicate, but his appearance is really not flattering.

He is nearly two meters tall, with thick eyebrows, leopard eyes, a wide forehead, thick lips, and a full beard. When he stands with Hong Bao, he is like Li Kui meeting Zhang Fei.

"Fuck you, you bastard. You have repeatedly prevented us from visiting the leader. Could it be that you and Liang Hai have teamed up to murder the leader?"

Hong Bao's words caused a commotion.

Whether it was the people they brought with them or the people behind Liang Hai and Guo Siyu, they all started whispering.

"Liang Hai and Guo Siyu, are you really so bold?"

"It's hard to say! If the leader wasn't injured, they wouldn't dare to do that even if they had ten times the courage, but now it's really uncertain."

"Yes, I heard that the captain has been in a coma since he came back. The doctor in the group also checked him out, and he said..."

The man hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the captain's mental power has collapsed, and he has become an idiot like the second in command."

"what?"

Many people behind Sun Xiaowei had strange looks in their eyes.

On the contrary, the mercenary members behind Liang Hai and Guo Siyu were filled with anger.

"Everyone knows what kind of person Sun Xiaowei, the third in command, is, without me telling you."

"They must be trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the leader and take over the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group."

"Ever since the second in command got into trouble, Sun Xiaowei has gone crazy. I'm afraid it's hard to list the countless unscrupulous things these two brothers have done over the years."

"Hush, be silent!"

Sun Xiaowei had no expression on his face despite the quarrel.

He looked past the crowd who were blocking his way and fell on the tightly closed door, with a sneer on his face.

Suddenly, Sun Xiaowei laughed neurotically, his voice was shrill and harsh.

"Tan Lang, don't blame me."

Sun Xiaowei probed the door with his spiritual power and whispered softly, "Who made you so stupid that you sacrificed yourself for the so-called loyalty. The Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later. If that's the case, you might as well give it to me."

"Oh, by the way. Liang Hai, Guo Siyu, and those who are loyal to you will be going down to accompany you soon. Hahaha..."
