Chapter 602: Chapter 331: First City (Part 3)

"Do you still need nine Energy Blood Essences?"

Lin Qi looked at the fourth level of the Dark Light Cultivation Technique that had just been infused into his mind, feeling an urgent need for the Energy Blood Essences.

Although he and Ling Ye had already formed a partnership, just waiting for the transfer from Celestial River Domain City, he would soon obtain a large amount of Energy Blood Essences. However, his consumption was also higher than that of ordinary people.

If he wanted a Training Technique to quickly reach the Blood Coagulation Realm, he needed three Energy Blood Essences. For three Training Techniques to all reach the Blood Coagulation Realm, nine would be required.

Moreover, after reaching the Blood Coagulation Realm, if a player doesn’t have Energy Blood Essences for cultivation, it’s very difficult to increase the proficiency of the Training Techniques. After all, without Energy Blood Essences, one can’t even attempt the Training Techniques, let alone enhance proficiency.

If he wanted to quickly improve, the demand for Energy Blood Essences couldn’t be met by just those few hundred from Celestial River Domain City.

Just as Lin Qi was troubled over how the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would generate income in the future, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Hall Master, disciple Hou Fei has something to report."

"Enter."

Lin Qi couldn’t help but set aside the matter of generating income, slightly raising his hand, using a bit of Power to open the door of the Basic Meditation Room. The over three-meter-tall Hou Fei nervously stepped inside.

"What’s the matter?" Lin Qi asked Hou Fei in a soft voice.

He had some memory of Hou Fei. Back when the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was starting, Hou Fei’s reputation as a Vagabond was not inferior to Qin Mu’s. However, Qin Mu was more skilled, reaching the Realm of Micro first, which led to Hou Fei’s defeat. Otherwise, the outcome between the two would have been uncertain.

Now that Hou Fei had joined the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, though he was only an Official Disciple, there was a significant chance he would join the Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps in the future. Therefore, Qin Mu took good care of Hou Fei, assigning some relatively easy tasks to help him quickly meet the assessment standards of the Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps, which was becoming a High Tier Martial Artist.

The days when having good talent or being a Martial Artist was enough to pass the assessment were long gone.

Not long ago, Yino even sent a message suggesting that future disciple recruitment at the Martial Arts Hall include an additional category of Outer Sect Disciples. After all, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was no longer what it used to be. If recruitment were still based on past conditions, the crowded Red Moon Town wouldn’t suffice. In the future, one might even need to become an Inner Sect Disciple to qualify for cultivation in Red Moon Town.

"Hall Master, I have a secret within the Wraith Mountain Range that’s related to the Smiling Skull and the Restricted Area. It might be of great use to you," Hou Fei said respectfully to Lin Qi after taking a deep breath. "If it’s useful to you, I hope to obtain two Inner Sect Disciple slots."

"A secret within the Wraith Mountain Range that’s related to the Smiling Skull and the Restricted Area?" Lin Qi nodded, indifferent about the two Inner Sect Disciple slots, "Alright, tell me. If your secret is useful, not just two Inner Sect Disciple slots, even two Elite Disciple slots would be possible."

Seeing Lin Qi agree, Hou Fei immediately said, "Hall Master, have you heard of the First City?"

"Are you talking about the first Domain City established after the global cataclysm?" Lin Qi nodded, "I do know of that legendary city. Now, the Domain Cities of the Four Domains are all branches of the First Domain City. But didn’t the First Domain City mysteriously disappear after the Restricted Area appeared? No one knows where it is to this day."

"The First City is within the Restricted Area of the Wraith Mountain Range," Hou Fei said unhurriedly. "The Smiling Skull has always been active in the Wraith Mountain Range, actually searching for the First City within the Restricted Area."

"How do you know this secret?" Lin Qi couldn’t help but look at Hou Fei.

The First City!

After the global cataclysm, it was the first Domain City established by various races. Now, all the technologies, Martial Arts, and Training Techniques of the Four Domain Cities are just attempts to restore the First Domain City.
