Chapter 24: Buns
After nearly ten days of trekking, Qin Feng and his party of four finally came to Aoki City.
In the eye, there is a tall city wall, an endless flow of people, and in the sky, from time to time, huge fierce birds fly by. Aoki City is much more prosperous than Aomine Town.
"Wow......" Qin Ling and Qin Nan exclaimed one after another, they had never left Qingfeng Town before, and they thought that Qingfeng Town was already very big. Now compared with Aoki City, Aomine Town suddenly looks much more dilapidated.
Qin Feng didn't feel much, in his previous life, he had seen a lot of prosperous cities, and Aoki City was nothing.
"Brother Qin Feng, the big bird that flew over the sky just now should be a fierce bird, right? Qin Ling said.
"Hehe, if you shoot it, someone will make trouble for you," Qin Feng said with a smile, "That bird is called 'Feng Peng', it is a wilderness-level fierce bird, and it was domesticated. ”
"Domesticate a desolate fierce bird? Why?" Qin Nan was also full of curiosity.
"The Northern Plains is very large, and even if the two cities are relatively close, they are thousands of miles away, and the far ones are thousands of miles apart. Feng Peng has a gentle temperament and flies extremely fast, so some big forces have domesticated them in batches, set up flying points in various cities, provided transportation services, and earned high profits. Qin Feng explained.
Of course, it costs a lot of gold coins to ride the Fengpeng, and ordinary martial artists really can't afford to sit down.
Qin Ling looked at Feng Peng in the sky, revealing a hint of yearning: "It's so good, I've never flown in the sky, that feeling must be very special." ”
"Hehe, flying in the sky is not a difficult thing for a martial artist, as long as you cultivate to the third-order spirit realm. Qin Feng said.
"Third-Order Transformation Spirit Realm, God, I am already very satisfied if I can reach the second-order Fusion Realm in this life. Qin Ling covered his mouth and smiled.
"Qin Feng, how do you know so much?" Sixth Uncle Qin Xiaofeng looked at him with strange eyes, even Qin Xiaofeng didn't know these things.
"Well, it's all my teacher told me......" Qin Feng could only lie.
Qin Xiaofeng nodded in disbelief, and then said, "You follow me closely, don't get separated." Calculating the time, the preliminary examination of Kitahara Academy will be held in a month, and before the preliminary examination is held, you can go to the Aoki Castle General's Mansion to register. Let's find an inn and settle down first, and then go to the General's Mansion. ”
The four of them entered the city and soon found a rather imposing inn. However, when Qin Xiaofeng came forward to negotiate, he was told that it was already full.
Qin Feng and his party continued to look for the inn, and asked three in a row, but they all got the same answer.
"What's going on?Aoki City has been a lot of foreign tourists recently?" After four consecutive failed rentals, Qin Xiaofeng finally couldn't help it and asked the innkeeper.
"The four guests are also from other places, right? Recently, it was a coincidence, the preliminary examination of the North Plains Academy is coming, and in the towns around Aoki City, there are many young martial artists rushing to take the exam. Moreover, I heard that the 'fog pool' of Cloud Mist Peak was about to open, which attracted many martial artists. When these two things come together, the rooms are full......" explained the shopkeeper.
"Cloud Peak, Fog Pool?" Qin Xiaofeng and the others were all confused.
"Who doesn't know the fog pool? It's the most famous mysterious place in Aoki City, and it opens every three years. Every time it is opened, it is the most lively time in our Aoki Castle, and the warriors from the surrounding cities will come. The shopkeeper chattered and roughly said the news of the cloud and mist peak fog pool.
Located on the west side of Aoki Castle, the peak is thousands of meters high, and the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It is said that Yunwu Peak has a formation left by the masters, and it is usually closed, and anyone who tries to break in will end up missing.
Every three years, the fog of Cloud Peak will dissipate and the formation will open. However, only warriors in the samurai realm were able to climb to the top and return safely. There were once fusion realm martial artists who tried to take advantage of the opportunity of the triennial formation to climb to the Cloud Mist Peak, but the ending was still a mysterious disappearance. These legends undoubtedly add more mystery to Yunwu Peak.
The fog pool at the top of the Cloud Mist Peak is a cultivation treasure land. In the pool, there seems to be a mysterious energy, and if a warrior in the warrior realm is immersed in the pool to cultivate, not only will his blood and qi improve significantly, but his physical body will also be greatly enhanced. Therefore, not only the samurai realm warriors of Aoki City, but also the samurai realm warriors of the surrounding cities are also eager to flock to the fog pool.
"I see...... The fog pool was opened, and the two major events of the preliminary examination of Kitahara Academy were put together, no wonder Aoki City was so lively, and even a guest room could not be found. Qin Xiaofeng shook his head, and could only leave with Qin Feng and the other three.
Fortunately, there is no endless road, although the big inns are full, but those small inns, there are a small number of guest rooms, but each one is not cheap, several times more than usual, and it looks like I can't live in it. Qin Xiaofeng was helpless, so he could only pinch his nose and stop.
After a busy time, the four of them finally settled down, took turns bathing and changing clothes, washed off the dust from the hard work of the journey, and then began to rest, without saying anything all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Feng and the four of them went directly to the General's Mansion in the northern district of Aoki City.
The General's Mansion is an official institution established by the Chiyang Kingdom in various cities within its territory. A warrior who can serve as a general in a certain city and hold the authority of a party is either not weak in background or strong in strength, and he is not an ordinary person.
This time, for the preliminary examination of Kitahara Academy, the registration point was set up in the school field of the Aoki Castle General's Mansion.
There was a table on the north side of the school grounds, and several members of the General's Mansion were busy registering and making books. In front of the table, young warriors from all over the surrounding areas of Aoki Castle were waiting in line.
"Wow, what a big school field, several times bigger than our family's martial arts arena. At the end of the line, Qin Ling sighed in a low voice.
The few young martial artists in front of Qin Feng heard this emotion, and after looking at each other, they all showed a trace of disdain and vigilance.
"Where did the earth buns come from, it's not like our local people in Aoki City. Could it be that they are also coming for the fog pool?"
"With this kind of knowledge, I also came to participate in the preliminary examination of Kitahara Academy...... It's really ignorant and fearless, I'm afraid I can't even pass the qualification test. ”
These teenagers did not deliberately lower their voices, and their conversation reached the ears of Qin Feng and the others word for word.
"What are you talking about, don't look down on people!" Qin Nan was young and vigorous, and he was about to theorize. Qin Xiaofeng grabbed him, shook his head and warned, "Don't make trouble!"
"Hehe......" Seeing Qin Xiaofeng retreat, the teenagers were even more proud, and they confirmed more and more that Qin Feng and his party were from an ordinary background, and their attitudes became even more arrogant.
