When the City Lord of Game City released this news, he threw out a great temptation. That was, once one became his daughter's Dao companion, they could have control of half of the city and enjoy the same cultivation resources as the disciples of third-class sects.
As soon as this temptation was thrown out, it immediately attracted countless young cultivators in the surroundings. Most of them were disciples of small sects and individual cultivators. It was not very difficult to advance to the Golden Elixir at the age of 300, so even individual cultivators had a chance.
In this way, just a few days after the news was released, Game City immediately attracted more than 200 cultivators who met the conditions. Today was the day of the official selection, so some of the cultivators who had come to Game City early rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.
When Luo Ping saw the anxious expressions of these cultivators, it was as if they had seen a treasure. However, this treasure might not be the City Lord's daughter, but half of the city and cultivation resources.
For the cultivators of small sects and individual cultivators, the conditions promised by the City Lord could be said to be extremely attractive. Only with a huge amount of cultivation resources could they advance and increase their cultivation strength. In comparison, becoming the Dao companion of the City Lord's daughter was only secondary.
"More than 200 people are fighting for a spot. I really don't know if these people's brains are rusty or if they have become stupid from cultivating."
Luo Ping could not help but sigh. In the eyes of these cultivators, this kind of thing that obviously had a very small probability seemed to be the winner of the lottery. They did not have the slightest awareness.
"In the face of interests and desires, even cultivators will lose their rational judgment. Even I am a little tempted by the same cultivation resources as third-class sects."
Wen Liangzhou said bluntly. Even though he was an elder of a fourth-class sect and his cultivation resources were still somewhat lacking compared to the disciples of third-class sects, Luo Ping and even Zuo Qiuyi did not find it attractive.
"Get lost. Don't waste my time. Otherwise, don't blame me for making a move."
At this moment, an angry voice came from the side. It turned out that Shenke and Ting Qin had stopped a person to inquire about the location of the Baleful Yin Sect. Unexpectedly, before they could even open their mouths, the other party had already threatened them fiercely.
After saying that, the cultivator hurriedly rushed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Shen Ke and Ting Qin pulled back two people with the same attitude, afraid that they would delay the City Lord's selection.
"You two better come back. These people won't answer you. If you want to ask, you'll have to ask the surrounding shops."
Wen Liangzhou stopped Shen Ke and Ting Qin, then walked to a nearby shop. Not long after, he came back with an ugly expression on his face.
"It's about the same as what we guessed before. This is only the periphery of the Dark Yin Faction. There is still a distance of five hundred thousand li from the Dark Yin Faction."
Upon hearing Wen Liangzhou's words, Luo Ping did not feel surprised. After all, although they had flown hundreds of thousands of li, there was still the distance from the Piller sect in the middle. It was estimated that they had not traveled far to reach the boundary of the Dark Yin Faction.
"If that's the case, then we should think of a way to quickly reach the location of the Dark Yin Faction. I believe there should be a small teleportation array in Game City."
Luo Ping asked. Generally speaking, a large town like this would basically have a small teleportation array to facilitate cultivators to travel between cities.
"That's right. It seems that we can't avoid the trip to the City Lord's Mansion. However, they are holding the selection today. I believe the surroundings of the City Lord's Mansion have already been sealed off. We can only wait until tomorrow."
Zuo Qiuyi said.
"If that's the case, since we have nothing to do, let's go take a look at the selection of the City Lord's Mansion," Wen Liangzhou said.
There were already many people gathered at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. They were all waiting for the appearance of the City Lord to change their fates. Today, these cultivators were filled with hope.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a dark complexion sat in the room. Opposite him was a woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old. She was rather delicate and pretty. However, at this moment, she had a conflicted expression on her face.
"Father, you won't have a good ending if you do this," the woman said.
"Hmph, if you continue to spout nonsense, be careful that I don't imprison you in the dungeon," the middle-aged man snorted coldly, appearing to be very angry.
"Father, you are already a City Lord and your cultivation has reached the Celestial Life Stage. Why do you still have to do this? Even if you don't cultivate this technique, you still have a chance to cultivate to the Dongxu Stage and then undergo the tribulation. As long as you are prepared, you still have a chance to successfully pass the tribulation. Why do you have to do this? "
The woman still didn't give up and tried to persuade him. It turned out that this middle-aged man was the City Lord of Game Head City. His name was Game Head City, and this city was named after him.
His daughter, Fu Shuyun, was indeed a cultivator with a great talent for cultivation. After cultivating for only a hundred years, she had reached the Golden Elixir Stage. However, helping her to choose a Dao Companion wasn't true. He had other motives.
"Shut up. You don't need to interfere in my matters. Now, scram back to your room and don't leave."
Game Head City suddenly slapped the chair and stood up. His tone was fierce. Then, he looked at the two guards around him and ordered, "Look after the young lady. Don't let her leave the room."
"Yes, City Lord!"
These two guards were at the Nascent Soul Stage. There was no problem in looking after Fu Shuyun. Seeing this, Fu Shuyun slammed the door and left the room. The two guards immediately followed her out. Only Game Head City was left in the room.
"No one can stop me from cultivating this technique. No one. Hahaha …"
Game Head City's crazy laughter came from the room.
"Let's just watch from the back. Don't go to the front. We don't want to be seen as competitors."
When they came to the front of the City Lord's Mansion and saw so many cultivators with swords drawn and ready to fight to the death, Luo Ping suggested that they just watch from afar.
They didn't have any objections and just waited in the distance. After a long time, the door of the City Lord's Mansion opened. An old man who looked like a butler stood at the door and said, "All participants of the selection, please wait in the mansion."
After saying that, the butler turned around and went back. The cultivators outside the door heard that and rushed into the mansion. If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't dare to fight here, they would have already started fighting.
Although the door of the City Lord's Mansion was wide, it still seemed a little narrow with so many cultivators squeezing in. After a while, everyone squeezed in.
Seeing this, Luo Ping and the others also followed in. Anyway, they weren't going to participate in the selection. It should be fine to just watch. After they stepped in, the door of the City Lord's Mansion was closed.
Because they were the last group, they didn't care about the door being closed even though they felt it was strange. They followed the crowd to the spacious front yard of the City Lord's Mansion and saw a middle-aged man already sitting there.
Game Head City looked at the more than 200 cultivators in front of him and was very satisfied. He had a strange smile on his face. His eyes swept over the crowd and finally landed on Luo Ping and the others.
Suddenly, Game Head City's face froze and then showed an even more joyful expression. Everyone thought that he was very satisfied with this selection, so they didn't think much of it.
However, when Luo Ping met Game Head City's eyes, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Although he didn't know what would happen, he seemed to feel greed, madness, and desire from Game Head City's eyes.
Game Head City waved his hand and a young woman immediately walked out from behind him. She stood behind him very obediently. Game Head City looked at the woman dotingly and then said to the crowd, "I'm very happy that everyone can come to Game Head City and participate in the selection of my daughter's Cultivation Partner. I'm the City Lord of Game Head City, Game Head City. This is my daughter, Fu Shuyun."
Game Head City introduced himself and the woman. In fact, everyone had already guessed before. After hearing his words, they looked at the woman again.
Although the woman's appearance wasn't outstanding, it was enough to be called dignified and generous. These cultivators didn't care much about it.
Game Head City paused for a moment and continued, "Those who reach the Golden Elixir stage within 200 years can enter the backyard first."
Hearing Game Head City's words, many of the more than 200 people showed proud smiles on their faces because they were the ones who met the requirements.
Soon, the cultivators left the group one by one and walked to the backyard under the guidance of the housekeeper. Those who didn't meet the requirements couldn't sit still. Therefore, some people were ready to muddle through.
"You, stop!"
Game Head City's face darkened. He pointed at a cultivator who wanted to walk to the backyard and said. After being stopped, the cultivator showed an innocent expression.
"Sir, what's the matter?" the cultivator asked.
"You reached the Golden Elixir stage after 200 years of cultivation?" Game Head City asked unhurriedly.
"Yes, sir. This junior has only been cultivating for 189 years," the cultivator said resolutely.
The self-cultivator said resolutely and seemed to be very proud of himself. After all, there were only about 30 self-cultivators who had walked into the backyard.
"189 years?"
Game Head City murmured softly. Then he stood up from the chair and waved his big hand gently. A powerful force came head-on and directly sent the cultivator flying and crashing into the courtyard wall.
"You've been cultivating for 273 years and you dare to pretend that you've been cultivating for 189 years? Do you think I'm a fool? You've been cultivating for 253 years. You've been cultivating for 244 years, right? "
After Game Head City said the cultivator's cultivation time, he casually pointed at two cultivators and said their cultivation time. This scene made others feel incredulous.
However, the cultivator who was sent flying and the two cultivators who were named all changed their expressions greatly. Because the time that Game Head City said was exactly the number of years they had been cultivating.
The rest of the cultivators could see from the changes in the expressions of the three that Game Head City was absolutely telling the truth. He could actually accurately tell the cultivation time of the cultivators. This … was incredible.
Luo Ping looked at all this and was dumbfounded. Although he didn't know how Game Head City did it, this method alone was not something that ordinary people could reach.
Among all the people, only one person was very calm. That was Zuo Qiuyi. She seemed to know why Game Head City could see through the cultivation time of the cultivators, so she was not surprised.
"Now, those who have reached the Golden Elixir stage within 250 years can enter the backyard."
