Over there was the Pu Ban City, a place that Si Wen Ming had described in great detail, where even the rivers were flowing with milk and honey.
Ji Hao was lying on the hillside, looking at the plain area that was hundreds of miles away, which was filled with blooming flowers, and had a faint, magical glow.
The tender grasses around him were juicy, emitting a nice aroma. Colorful wildflowers were spreading out from the grasses. Ji Hao gazed into the distance, but couldn't see the end of these flowers.
A small river was meandering across the hillside. The water was crystal clear, and had a strange, glass-like luster. Although it was clear water, it was also emitting a faint aroma. A few fishes were happily leaping up and playing in the river, splashing the water into the air, leaving thin lines in the water. Obviously, the water in the river was quite sticky.
The natural power was so rich that even the water in the river had been mixed with an excessive amount of natural power, making the water as sticky as paste.
Ji Hao pulled a weed out and put it into his mouth, chewing carefully. The grass juice was bland and tasteless, but a dense stream of natural power gushed into his mouth, directly merging with his meridians. If one didn't take the medicinal properties into consideration, and only based on the energy contained in it, this ordinary weed, which could be found everywhere, could be compared to an ordinary hundred-year-old herb from the Southern Wasteland.
A group of chubby sparrows hovered up from the grass not far away. They were chirping loudly, and their tiny black eyes were shining with a subtle light of intelligence. Under the nourishment of the abundant Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, these ordinary sparrows had almost developed intelligence comparable to that of human youths.
This place was the Pu Ban City.
Behind the hillside where Ji Hao was lying, tens of human-waist-thick chains drilled out from the ground, tightly binding a thousands of zhang tall, tens of miles in radius mountain. Not even a blade of grass could be seen on the dark mountain, and a huge square entrance was clearly visible on the mountainside.
This mountain was the entrance of the Magi Palace.
Wulong Yao had brought Ji Hao out from this entrance, then told Ji Hao to take a walk around and take a look around, before he left in a hurry.
From the Magi Palace, Ji Hao and Wulong Yao arrived at the mountainside through a teleporting magic formation, then came to the outside world through a short path. According to Wulong Yao, there were tens of other floating entrances like this.
Except for a group of core elders of the Magi Palace, who held the highest positions in the Magi Palace, no one knew where the Magi Palace was located. Everyone had to rely on teleporting magic formations to get in and out of the Magi Palace. Some people had roughly estimated that the Magi Palace was located within the area with a radius of a million miles around Pu Ban City, based on the space pressure and the time taken by teleporting magic formations.
A million miles, this was an extremely vast area. It was basically impossible to find the exact location of the Magi Palace with human resources.
"A place where human beings gather their wisdom." Ji Hao put his hands behind his head and praised sincerely.
In this place, countless highly intelligent Maguspriests had been gathering the unique knowledge created by all kinds of creatures in the four wastelands and Midland bit by bit, integrating them into their own wisdom. More Magi Palace people had been running around like Si Wen Ming. Wherever they went, they would intentionally or unintentionally spread the wisdom of the Magi Palace.
Just like in the Gold-Eyed Lion Clan, Si Wen Ming had taught him those simple farming and livestock raising skills, and those life-saving prescriptions that could detoxify poisons, even if they could only raise three to five thousand more clansmen of the Gold-Eyed Lion Clan, the entire human race would grow by another three to five thousand.
Who could guarantee that among those three to five thousand people who survived, there wouldn't be another Ji Hao like Si Wen Ming?
Ji Hao quietly lied on the hillside for a long while, about four to six hours. The sun had already risen above the western mountaintop. A gentle breeze blew over, following which, Wulong Yao abruptly showed up beside Ji Hao, popped out his eyes and looked down at Ji Hao in a weird way.
"Kid, I told you to take a look around, but you're just lying here and sleeping?"
Ji Hao leisurely narrowed his eyes, feeling the gentle breeze blowing across his face along with the warmth of dusk, and said, "Ah, it's very comfortable... and I'm too lazy to walk around. What's so interesting about this place? "
Wulong Yao chuckled, stroked his long beard and said in a low voice with a trace of evilness, "There are quite a few large markets around here, which are organized by the Magi Palace's apprentices. There are many interesting things in those markets, don't you want to take a look? For example, mermaid beauties in the East Ocean? "
Ji Hao threw a sideway glance at Wulong Yao, sneered and said, "Although I came from the Southern Wasteland, that poor and remote place, I'm not ignorant. Grandpa Wulong, don't fool kids with these kinds of tricks. I, will join the Magi Palace. "
Wulong Yao paused for a second. He had been taking Ji Hao around the Magi Palace all the way, and had seen many strange things about the Magi Palace. After that, he took Ji Hao out of the Magi Palace. He wanted Ji Hao to walk into those especially lively markets by himself, and let those strange and fresh sights shock Ji Hao's soul, and make him yearn for the Magi Palace, then take the initiative to join the Magi Palace.
During these years, many rebellious kids from the Four Wastelands had all become loyal apprentices of the Magi Palace after experiencing this kind of shock.
In the few large markets around here, high-quality armors, precious magic medicines and all kinds of rare treasures, which were rarely seen in the Four Wastelands, could be found. There were even incomparably exquisite puppets, mechanisms, extraordinarily powerful magic talismans and treasures.
And all those things were from the Magi Palace.
Armors were forged by the Magi Palace, magic medicines were concocted by the Magi Palace, magic talismans were drawn by the Magi Palace, and magic treasures were forged by the Magi Palace through thousands of tempering. Seeing these treasures with their own eyes, all those simple and honest young people who had never seen the wonders of the outside world would fall into the trap!
However, Ji Hao's reaction was indeed completely different from the others. He was too calm, too relaxed. Looking at the deep and calm light of wisdom in Ji Hao's eyes, Wulong Yao touched his own wrinkled face a bit embarrassedly.
He suddenly thought of Si Wen Ming's evaluation of Ji Hao, that Ji Hao was a kid who was completely different from the other Magi Palace apprentices.
"Well, Si Wen Ming brought you here because he wants you to join the Magi Palace." Wulong Yao took out a fist-sized bronze tablet from his sleeve, threw it on Ji Hao's body and said, "Now, you are a junior apprentice of the Magi Palace. You should start from the most basic things. Find out what you are most interested in, and which area you are most talented in. There are so many Magi in the Magi Palace, they will train you according to your strengths. "
Ji Hao grabbed the tablet and carefully looked at it.
The bronze tablet was simple and smooth in shape, but the patterns on it were quite special.
On the front of the tablet, clouds and winds were roaring, dragons and phoenixes were soaring in the sky, and a sturdy, hazy silhouette of a human being was standing proudly on the ground.
On the back of the tablet, layers upon layers of pictures of stars and clouds were embossed. A simple and heavy character, 'Magus', was embossed in the middle of the tablet, and two smaller characters, 'Ji Hao', were embossed under the character.
On the four edges of the tablet, a spell that could expel evil spirits, protect oneself, purify one's mind and defend against diseases were embossed.
From now on, Ji Hao was truly a junior apprentice of the Magi Palace.
