After bidding farewell to everyone, Jianchen was led by Chang Bo onto the hawk and flew away from Lore City.
Jianchen lowered his head as he sat on the back of the hawk. He stared blankly at the large city several thousand meters below. His emotions were extremely complicated. This was the second time he had left Changyang Prefecture and Lore City in the fifteen years since he had arrived in this world.
The first time he had left was to study in Kargath Academy, but this time was completely different. Jianchen understood that he would not be able to see his family again for a very long time after he left this time. Moreover, he would have to travel alone on the extremely dangerous Tian Yuan Continent that was filled with the aura of slaughter. He would have to rely on himself for everything. Jianchen did not even know if he would have the chance to see his family again in the future. After all, he had already understood the situation of the Tian Yuan Continent from the books. This was a world where the strong were respected. Everything on the Tian Yuan Continent was based on strength. It was much more dangerous than the jianghu of his previous life. With his current strength, no one knew what would happen in the future if he were to travel on this extremely dangerous continent.
Chang Bo glanced at Jianchen who was deep in thought as he sat on the hawk. He said, "Fourth young master, everything will depend on you from now on. You must be careful when you travel alone on the continent."
"I know what to do, Chang Bo," Jianchen replied softly without even turning his head.
Chang Bo stared deeply at Jianchen and sighed inside. He did not say anything else.
The hawk flew straight towards the sun that had just appeared at the horizon. The fierce wind whistled in their ears, causing Jianchen and Chang Bo's hair and clothes to flutter.
The Flying Eagle flew past several cities and villages of various sizes. Just as the sun was about to set, the Flying Eagle finally flew over a small city.
Looking at the small city below, Jianchen suddenly said, "Chang Bo, send me off here."
Chang Bo lowered his head and looked at the small city below. He nodded, "Alright." Afterward, Chang Bo controlled the hawk to stop ten kilometers away from the city.
Jianchen jumped off the hawk and turned to Chang Bo, saying, "Chang Bo, you should hurry back. The Huayun Sect has probably already arrived in our Changyang Prefecture."
Chang Bo nodded from the hawk and said, "Fourth young master, take care of yourself."
Jianchen waved his hand at Chang Bo, then walked towards the city ten kilometers away without looking back.
Chang Bo sat on the hawk, staring at Jianchen's back. Only when Jianchen disappeared from his line of sight did he sigh and mutter to himself, "Fourth young master, I hope that when we meet again, you can give me a pleasant surprise." The eagle's wings flapped violently. With a burst of sand and pebbles, smoke and dust filled the air. It had already brought Uncle Chang up into the sky and returned in the direction they came from.
Right now, the sun was about to set, and the sky was dusk. When Jianchen arrived at the road leading to the small city, there were still many people walking towards the city. However, they were mostly mercenaries riding various Magic Beasts and caravans.
Jianchen's appearance naturally attracted the attention of some people. Many mercenaries looked at him with vigilance, but when they saw Jianchen's young face and saw his age, the vigilance in their eyes immediately disappeared.
Jianchen sized up these mercenaries riding various Magic Beasts. He saw that these mercenaries looked to be in their twenties to fifties. Some were wearing armor, some were wearing beast skins, and some were wearing clothes. When he got closer, Jianchen could clearly feel that these mercenaries had a bloody aura. With his rich experience, he naturally knew that these mercenaries had been baptized by slaughter.
Ten kilometers was not a long distance, so Jianchen arrived very quickly. Jianchen raised his head and looked at the twenty meter high city wall in front of him. The city wall had clearly been there for many years, and it was not maintained for many years. The merciless passage of time had left clear marks on the tall city wall. Above the city gate, three words were written in flamboyant calligraphy — White Cloud City.
"Hey, stop, what are you doing?"
Just as Jianchen passed by the city gate, he was stopped by a guard.
Jianchen chuckled. He took out a few gold coins from his spatial belt and stuffed them into the guard's hand. He said, "Brother, I'm a mercenary. I've come to White Cloud City with a mission."
The guard glanced at the gold coins in his hand from the corner of his eye. He immediately put on a smile and said, "Oh, since you have a mission, I won't delay your precious matters. Go on in."
After entering White Cloud City, Jianchen walked another two to three kilometers and arrived at a bustling street. Although the sun had already set, the street was still bustling. There was an endless stream of people coming and going on the streets. On both sides of the street, there were shops that sold all kinds of goods.
The ground of the street was completely pieced together by large pieces of stone. The surface was very smooth, so the inside was very flat. Even if a vehicle was running on it at a slow speed, it would not feel the slightest bit of bump.
Jianchen rubbed his stomach. Then, he looked at a restaurant on the street and walked in. He had not eaten for the entire day, so his stomach was hurting from hunger.
"Sir, please come in!"
Jianchen found an empty table and sat down under the warm welcome of a waiter.
"Sir, would you like to stay in the restaurant or have a meal?" The waiter was a young man who was about 20 years old. He had a professional smile on his face, which made him look very friendly.
Jianchen glanced at the mercenaries who were chatting loudly in the restaurant and said calmly, "I'm going to stay in the restaurant and have a meal. What kind of food do you have here?"
Then, the waiter immediately introduced Jianchen to all kinds of things in the restaurant. However, the dishes that he introduced were all the most expensive in the restaurant. This was because the waiter could already tell that Jianchen was a rich young master from the luxurious clothes that he was wearing.
Jianchen did not care about the price of these dishes and casually ordered a few dishes that he had not tried before.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Jianchen booked a medium-sized room in the restaurant and went straight into the room to rest.
This restaurant was obviously not high-end. The furnishings in this medium-sized room were very simple. Compared to Changyang Prefecture, it was simply worlds apart. Other than a wooden bed made of hard wood, there was only a table and a few chairs in the room. Other than that, there was nothing else. Even so, the room was very clean.
Jianchen never had the habit of being picky. This kind of room was already quite satisfactory for him.
After closing the door, Jianchen walked to the bed and sat down. Then, he took out the Space Ring that his father gave him before he left and opened it to check the items inside.
The Space Ring was indeed a high-grade item. The space inside was much larger than a belt. It was close to a hundred square meters. In the center of the Space Ring, there was a small pile of items. There were not many items. Compared to the space of a hundred square meters, this small pile of items could not even fill up a corner.
Within the pile of items, there were several thousand purple coins that flickered with a purple light and over ten thousand gold coins that shone with a golden light. Other than these items, there was also a small pile of monster cores. There were only around forty to fifty of them. Class 2 monster cores were the majority. There were only around ten Class 3 monster cores and one Class 4 monster core.
Looking at the items in the Space Ring, Jianchen felt warmth in his heart for a moment. Although there were not many items, they were all very practical and just happened to be what Jianchen needed. From this, it was enough to see how much Changyang Ba cared about Jianchen.
Jianchen carefully kept the Space Ring close to his chest. He did not forget what his father had told him before he left. Before he became strong enough, he could not expose the Space Ring to others. This was because Space Rings were not as common as Space Belts. Space Rings were very precious in the Tian Yuan Continent. Although there were many people who possessed Space Rings, all of them were either powerful or were the descendants of famous families. They had enough strength to protect their belongings.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jianchen took out a few monster cores from his Space Belt and held them in his hand. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.
The energy within the monster cores was absorbed by Jianchen at an extremely terrifying speed. At this moment, if someone was present, they would definitely see the monster cores in Jianchen's hand emitting a faint glow. The energy leaking from the monster cores was so dense that it formed a blurry, visible energy ribbon that enveloped Jianchen's body. At the same time, the Class 1 Monster Cores in Jianchen's hand rapidly shrank in size.
Ever since Jianchen broke through to the Saint realm and two specks of light appeared in his Dantian, his path of cultivation had become extremely difficult. Although the speed at which he absorbed the energy of the world had increased by more than ten times, he only absorbed a pitiful one percent of it. Although the speed at which he absorbed the energy of the monster cores was much faster than before, the consumption of the monster cores was so great that it was not something that Jianchen could bear.
It only took two hours for Jianchen to absorb the Class 1 Monster Cores in his hand. Then, Jianchen continued to take out several Class 1 Monster Cores from his Space Belt and continued to cultivate. Fortunately, he still had a few hundred Class 1 and Class 2 Monster Cores in his Space Belt. Although it was not much, it could at least sustain his cultivation for a few days. Moreover, there were more than ten Class 3 Monster Cores and two Class 4 Monster Cores in the Space Belt that his father gave him.
The next day, when the sun had risen high in the sky, Jianchen woke up from his cultivation state. That night, he had used another forty to fifty monster cores just for cultivation alone.
"Sigh …" Feeling the rapidly decreasing number of monster cores in his Space Belt, Jianchen let out a long sigh. His face was full of helplessness. The purple and green specks of light in his Dantian had really brought him endless distress.
After calming down, Jianchen walked out of the room and directly left the restaurant, strolling on the street outside.
The morning air was particularly clear, and the fiery red sun in the sky had not yet released its scorching heat. The warm sunlight shining on one's body gave a very comfortable feeling. There were many mercenaries hurrying about on the street, and from time to time, there would be pairs of peddlers slowly flowing along the street.
