Lin Zhen's friends gradually dispersed.
Many people chose to stay in the State of Qin. There was also a New Territories Hometown Association here. They could survive anywhere. The prosperity of the State of Qin was indeed very attractive.
Ning Qingxuan stayed in the Alchemist Association Headquarters in the Qin Capital and cultivated in the floating villa.
"Hubby, don't worry about me. Martial artists don't have a concept of time when they cultivate. You're only in the Holy Land for a hundred years. The Holy Land doesn't prohibit you from going out. If you miss me, just come back to see me."
Ning Qingxuan, with her snow-white skin, snuggled in Lin Zhen's arms. The blush on her face had not completely faded.
"Yes, I'll come back often."
"But hubby, you have to be careful. You have to compete in the Holy Land. The closer you are to the stone tablet, the more things you will learn. Therefore, internal challenges are very important."
"Is it the same for every Holy Land?"
"Yes, it's the same for every Holy Land. If you're ranked last in a class, not only will you learn less, but you will also be demoted during the annual assessment."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly. "Don't worry. Your hubby is strong in all aspects. You know this."
Lin Zhen's words made Ning Qingxuan pinch him fiercely. In the end, it aroused some thoughts in Lin Zhen. He turned over and pressed the beautiful woman under him. He proved his words with non-stop exercise from dusk to dawn.
*****
The next morning, all the new students gathered at the Fallen Star Lake.
The weather was good today. Although there were winds and waves, they were not too big. On the lake in the distance, the blue whale from the Holy Land swam over.
A handyman in green stood on the back of the blue whale and said to all the students, "I'm here on the orders of the Fifth Young Master to bring everyone to the Picking Stars Island. Please get on the fish!"
Lin Zhen touched his nose. He had heard of the words "get on the boat, on the ship, on the plane, on the battleship."
The blue whale stopped at the deep water area. All the students rose into the air and flew a short distance. The Heaven Class students were first, followed by the Desolate Class students. They boarded the blue whale in order.
"Sit tight. The waves in Fallen Star Lake are very strong. There are also some monsters. If you fall in, you will be in danger."
The Blue Whale turned its head and paddled with its huge fins. It began to move towards the depths of Fallen Star Lake with a loud rumble.
Today, Lin Zhen had broadened his horizons to see how fast a fish could swim.
This was no longer swimming, but gliding on the surface of the water. Occasionally, the fins would slap against the water, increasing their speed by several times the speed of sound!
Everyone tried their best to stabilize themselves so that they wouldn't be blown off the fish's back.
The deeper they went into the Fallen Star Lake, the greater the wind and waves became. It was as if they had entered the vast Pacific Ocean, with no end in sight.
The huge wave in front of him surged to the heavens. The wave rose up and actually slammed into the clouds!
Dark clouds covered the sky as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. This place was like a forbidden zone for life. Even these cultivators could feel the powerful Force of Nature in this place.
"Sit tight!"
The handyman shouted, and the blue whale dived into the wind and waves.
In the depths of the giant wave, a strange halo appeared.
"This is … a portal!"
Before anyone could react, the Blue Whale had already passed through the portal and appeared in a new body of water.
The surroundings were filled with fog. The Blue Whale continued to paddle forward, and after about an hour, it exited the foggy area.
Everyone was in a daze, and they didn't know what route they had taken.
However, they knew that they were about to arrive, because a huge island appeared in the distance. That was their destination, Picking Stars Island.
The Blue Whale gradually slowed down, and the surrounding wind and waves also disappeared.
"Picking Stars Island is near the center of Fallen Star Lake. After passing through the portal, you are now eight billion light years away from the Qin Capital!"
The cultivators were speechless. So they still had to pass through a portal. The wind and waves just now were too strong. If not for the handyman leading them, they wouldn't have been able to find the portal to Picking Stars Island.
A cultivator from the Yu Class asked, "Brother, if we want to leave Picking Stars Island, how do we get out?"
"The Holy Land doesn't prohibit students from leaving. However, if you rely on yourselves, you won't be able to find the portal on your first try. The only way is to take the transportation of our Picking Stars Island."
"Is it this Blue Whale?"
"No, the Blue Whale is a large transportation vehicle. You can only take … Look, it's that one."
The handyman pointed to the front. On the vast lake beside the island, a huge dolphin that was more than ten meters long jumped out, its silver skin shining under the sunlight.
"This is a dolphin from the Holy Land. You can rent it, but it costs a lot each time."
"How much can the rent be?" a cultivator from the Desolate Class said disdainfully.
The handyman smiled. "It's not much. If you want to return to the Qin Capital, you have to pay one billion each time!"
"What? One billion? " Many cultivators exclaimed. Although their realms weren't low, it wasn't easy to earn money in the Primordial Realm. Without Lin Zhen's alchemy skills, one billion wasn't a small number to anyone.
A cultivator from the Desolate Class said with some dissatisfaction, "This is too much. We are all cultivators from the Holy Land. The Holy Land can be considered our home. How can they charge our family members such a high fee?"
"That's right, that's right. It should be free. At the very least, we from the Huang Class should have the right to use it for free."
"Why should the Huang Class be free? Just because you are one level higher than us from the Yu Class? "
"Although we from the Desolate Class are lower, we should be treated equally."
A few cultivators started arguing. At this moment, the Heaven Class student, Michelle, suddenly said, "What are you arguing about? Rules are rules. You just entered the Holy Land and you already think you are the master? "
Michelle was already the number one person in this selection. As a Heaven Class student, he had a lot of deterrence. When he spoke, many people shut up.
The handyman smiled at Michelle. "This student is right. Although you are cultivators from the Holy Land, you are not considered the masters of the Holy Land. You are just people who are studying here. Just like how students have to pay tuition fees to go to school, you have to pay a price to enjoy everything in the Holy Land. Unless you are the master of the Holy Land or his personal disciple, only then can you be considered a master."
Everyone immediately thought of Jin Nuo. If you couldn't reach Jin Nuo's level, you couldn't be considered a master.
"I am just a lowly handyman, but I still have to advise everyone. If you want to stand out in the Holy Land, you have to rely on your strength. The higher you go in the 33 Heavens Pagoda, the higher your status in the Holy Land will be."
"33 Heavens Pagoda? What is that?"
"Hehe, we have arrived at the Holy Land. Soon, someone will answer your questions. Everyone, please disembark."
The blue whale stopped at the shore of Picking Stars Island. There were already people waiting on the shore.
Everyone once again disembarked from the back of the blue whale and landed on the shore.
The person who received them was still a handyman. After seeing everyone disembark, he said expressionlessly, "Everyone, follow me. I will explain some things to you on the way. If you can't hear or remember, I will not repeat it."
At this moment, the Earth Class student, Huang Zun, who was beside Lin Zhen, said, "Damn it! How can these handymen be so arrogant? We are students and they are handymen. Could it be that their status is higher than ours? "
Lin Zhen said indifferently, "The handymen of the Holy Land are all Immortal cultivators. To them, the Holy Land is their home. We are just passersby. We have no status to speak of."
"Lin Zhen … Do you know who you are talking to?" Huang Zun seemed to dislike Lin Zhen. Yesterday, Lin Zhen did not give him any face. This caused him to have some opinions about Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen snorted coldly and did not answer him.
Huang Zun wanted to say something, but the handyman turned around and said, "Don't make a ruckus. If you speak again, you will leave the group."
Huang Zun pointed his finger at Lin Zhen a few times in the air and then closed his mouth.
A bluestone road snaked up from the edge of the island.
The handyman led the group and introduced them as they walked.
"Picking Stars Island has a total of thirty thousand people on the Holy Land. Among them, eight thousand are students and twenty thousand are handymen. There are many things on the island. It is equivalent to a small city."
"In front is the area where you students live. From the Heaven Class to the Desolate Class, the higher the level of the student, the better the living environment. If you want to live there, go ahead. The villa at the top is for the Heaven Class. Everyone has one. The Earth Class also has a smaller villa. The Profound Class has your own house. The bottom bunk is for the Desolate Class, but I don't think this is very meaningful. Because when you cultivate, you will rarely have the chance to live here. "
After walking for a while, they passed by a place called Golden Pill Pavilion and stopped.
This was because they saw a person walking out of the Golden Pill Pavilion.
This person was actually the Sage Master from the Qin State, Qian Tong!
"Isn't that … Isn't that the Saint Alchemist Qian Tong? Why is he here? "
The handyman smiled. "I heard that he did something wrong and was punished by the Five Young Masters to refine pills in the Holy Land for a hundred years. Unlike you, he is forbidden to leave the Holy Land and is not allowed to go to the stone tablet area. He can only refine pills here."
Hearing the handyman's words, everyone knew that Qian Tong had done something wrong. He had attacked the contestants during the battle, which offended the dignity of the Holy Land.
What shocked them even more was the power of the Holy Land.
A single sentence from the Five Young Masters could make the only Saint Alchemist in the Yuan Realm, Qian Tong, to refine pills in the Holy Land for a hundred years. Especially those who knew what kind of figure Qian Tong was in the Qin State, they felt it was even more unbelievable.
The dignity of the Holy Land was actually so terrifying!
Qian Tong watched the cultivators pass by and his eyes fell on Lin Zhen. There was a trace of anger in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it. He simply turned around and returned to the Golden Pill Pavilion. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
Lin Zhen's gaze just swept over indifferently, as if he didn't see Qian Tong.
They continued to walk along the bluestone road. After crossing a small ridge, they finally arrived at the core area of the Holy Land.
