Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao immediately understood. They each found a spot and took out the tokens they had obtained from the teleportation formation at Lufeng Forest, inserting them into the card slot. The teleportation formation was activated successfully, and when they opened their eyes again, they were back in Zhenduan City.
Half a month had passed, and the scene in Zhenduan City was even worse than before. Not only had the crowds not decreased, but they had even increased, making the place even more crowded than before.
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other helplessly. This place was as noisy as a market, and every single one of these people was a powerful master in the outside world. But now, they were running around like dogs. It was a situation that made them speechless, but it was enough to show how attractive Lufeng's forest was.
Yet, this was where Lin Yi was wrong. There were only ten days left until the miasma would return, and it was already too late to explore Lufeng's forest now.
More and more people were gathering, not for Lufeng Forest, but for something even more important and exciting!
However, Lin Yi did not plan to care so much. He just wanted to go to the pier to take a look at the situation. Although the boat he had booked had not arrived yet, there might be other ways to get there. There was nothing wrong with making preparations in advance.
However, when Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao arrived at the pier, they were surprised to find that it was heavily guarded. No one was allowed to enter or leave, and the entire pier was under martial law.
"What's going on?" Lin Yi could not help but be puzzled. There had not been so many guards when he had first arrived, and there had not been any martial law restricting entry and exit!
"Little brother, are you from out of town?" A middle-aged man dressed as a boatman glanced at Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao. He seemed to be someone who worked at the pier, but had been chased out and could not enter.
"Yes, yes. Uncle, can you tell us what's going on?" Lin Yi asked hurriedly.
"Heh. What else could it be? The Morning Star and Yellow-Rank cultivator academies of the East Continent are recruiting students here. It's always the same when they come here. To prevent people who know about this from swarming over, they've sealed off the pier and prevented people from entering or leaving, "the middle-aged man said, pursing his lips.
"I see." Lin Yi nodded. Before he went to Lufeng Forest, he had heard that there was a Yellow-Step Academy in the East Continent that was recruiting students, but he didn't expect to run into one here.
"Actually, the news has already spread out, and those who should have come have already arrived. Now that the dock has been sealed off, it's impossible for them to do so. You're just taking off your pants to fart. I can't even do any work because of you. I can only stand here and starve. What a f * cking piece of sh * t! "The middle-aged man cursed angrily.
"That doesn't make sense. Even if he was afraid of attracting too many people, he could have just allowed people to leave and not enter. Why did he have to seal off the entire dock? Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised, and he even used such a big force … "
"That's right!" The middle-aged man helplessly shook his head and said, "He said that he's afraid that the news will spread out and if too many people are attracted, it will easily cause trouble at the dock. Hmph, why would the big shots care about the thoughts of us little people … "
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other helplessly. This time, even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't. It was estimated that the dock would only be reopened after the so-called East Continent Morning Star Academy left. It would be impossible to leave before that.
There was no other way. There was no point in continuing to guard the dock. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao could only follow the crowd and return to Zhenduan City.
Since they were back. Lin Yi pulled Huang Xiaotao along with him and followed the crowd. After walking one round with the huge crowd, they finally arrived at Zhenduan Square.
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao had been here before. Back then, many people formed teams to recruit people here. It was also here that they met Guo Dengtao, which was why they formed a team to enter Lufeng Forest with Chu Bubai and the others. That was how they obtained so many rewards.
And now, the number of people gathered in Zhenduan Square was much more than before. Lin Yi roughly estimated that there were at least a few thousand people, and there was still a steady stream of cultivators. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the number reached five digits, or even more.
However, at this time, although there were many people, the order of the scene was much better than before. At least, no one was shouting at the top of their lungs to form teams to recruit people, and no one was making a ruckus. Even if they were discussing with each other, they deliberately lowered their voices. All the cultivators spontaneously sat on the ground in rows, looking up from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.
Looking ahead, in the middle of Zhenduan Square, the crowd did not know when it started, but an incomparably tall fence had appeared. It divided Zhenduan Square into two worlds. Outside the fence was one world, and inside the fence was another world.
Compared to the crowded scene outside the fence, the inside of the fence was much emptier. There was a temporarily built high platform with a long row of tables and chairs.
At this moment, there were already many people sitting on the high platform. There were at least thirty people, but even so, there were still some empty seats. It was unknown if they were reserved for others, or if they were already there.
In this situation, the people who could sit on the high platform were probably from the legendary Yellow Rank Morning Star cultivator academy in the East Continent.
Moreover, since they had come all the way here to recruit people, if there were no surprises, the people sitting there would most likely be people like the Chancellor of the academy. There might even be people even more important than this, such as the vice-dean of the academy.
However, Lin Yi did not know anything about the Yellow Morning Star Cultivator Academy. He had only recently heard about it in the East Continent. Of course, he did not know any of the people sitting on the high platform, but he could at least tell that none of them were ordinary people!
Thinking back, when Lin Yi first came to Heaven-Stage Island, he went to the back mountain to participate in the first newcomer's trial. He was shocked by the powerful aura of the three elders who guarded the back mountain hall, and was even in awe of them.
To be able to become an elder of the three pavilions of the north island, their strength was at least above the Nascent Soul stage. Lin Yi was only an expert in the early Foundation Establishment stage at that time, so it was normal for him to be intimidated by the other party's aura.
But now, things were different. As an expert in the early Gold Core stage who had a perfect breakthrough, Lin Yi would not feel any awe when facing ordinary Nascent Soul stage experts. There had even been genuine Nascent Soul stage experts who had died in his and Huang Xiaotao's hands. Floating Astronomy.
