After dealing with those gold bars, it was already past seven in the evening.
Thinking that going back to school would be troublesome, and since today was Saturday with no classes tomorrow,
Li Shangyan decided to stay at a hotel for the night!
Just as he was about to book a room at the Tinghan budget hotel, he suddenly remembered Wu Yushan saying things like, “When booking a room, I only choose budget hotels.”
After glancing at his phone balance, he decisively chose the presidential suite at the Four Seasons Hotel!
8,858 yuan a night. Acceptable.
Having money and not enjoying it is the same as having no money!
“Hmph, today I’m going to see just how soft the bed in a five-star hotel is!”
So he immediately took a taxi straight to the Four Seasons Hotel.
Luckily, he had brought his ID card with him today, so check-in went smoothly.
It had to be said that the service at a five-star hotel was indeed excellent.
The young lady at the front desk was also very pretty, and her voice was very gentle.
Unfortunately, nothing like a pretentious face-slapping story happened.
There were no little cards in the room either.
It really was more upscale than a budget hotel.
The suite was indeed quite luxurious, and the room on the 28th floor overlooked Wu City’s night scenery.
Standing by the window and admiring the night view, Li Shangyan muttered, “No wonder the Four Seasons Hotel in Lujiazui, Magic City, has that cart-pushing story.”
“Standing here, hmm-hmm-hmm… this really is the ultimate enjoyment!”
Afterward, Li Shangyan washed up and fell asleep on the soft, large bed.
He wanted to test whether he would transmigrate again!
…
Li Shangyan only felt his consciousness sink, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself back at Xuan Yuan Sect.
This time, Li Shangyan no longer felt any resentment, only overwhelming excitement.
“Sure enough, transmigration succeeded!”
“It seems that as long as I fall asleep or lose consciousness, I can transmigrate to another world!”
“I’m rich now!”
Even if he could not cultivate, even if he had to eat dirt here!
As long as he could get gold and silver, he would still live extremely comfortably on Blue Star!
Li Shangyan glanced at the sky outside the window; it was already daytime.
“I wonder whether the flow of time in the two worlds is the same, but at the very least, day and night should be reversed.”
Just then!
A long bell rang out.
Li Shangyan was first stunned, then suddenly remembered that today was the day of the Xuan Yuan Sect outer disciple assessment.
Before, they could only be considered prospective outer disciples.
If they failed the assessment today, they would have their memories erased and be expelled from the sect gate.
Thinking of this, Li Shangyan could not help feeling a shock in his heart.
He quickly checked his dantian.
However!
He was instantly stunned!
“Huh? That current of air seems to have doubled in size!”
“Am I cultivating in my sleep, or was it because I used too much spiritual energy yesterday?”
“Forget it, it’s a good thing anyway!”
Li Shangyan put it out of his mind and hurried toward the Sect square.
…
“Yo, isn’t this the Third Prince?” a shrill, duck-like voice suddenly sounded behind Li Shangyan.
Li Shangyan turned around and saw three seventeen- or eighteen-year-old young men looking at him with mocking expressions.
After carefully studying their faces, Li Shangyan suddenly remembered that the man in front, who had also been the one speaking just now, was named Yu Hua.
The other two were named Yang Baicheng and Qian Wuliang.
Come to think of it, the three of them, like Li Shangyan, were all from the East Tang imperial dynasty.
Yu Hua was the son of a marshal, while Yang Baicheng and Qian Wuliang were sons of marquises.
When they first arrived at Xuan Yuan Sect, because Li Shangyan was a prince, they circled around him like lapdogs.
But half a year ago, after the three of them successively broke through to the 1st layer of Qi Refining, their attitudes changed immediately.
They had the feeling of turning the tables and becoming the ones in charge, and they would occasionally come over to mock Li Shangyan’s predecessor.
Although Sect rules prevented them from attacking Li Shangyan, their verbal attacks were relentless.
This was also an important reason why Li Shangyan’s predecessor had fiercely gone into seclusion to cultivate.
In this world, strength reigns supreme!
If one could not truly step into the world of Cultivation, then even a prince, and even a mortal emperor, would still be nothing more than an ant.
Perhaps because of this obsession, the predecessor encountered a heart demon during his breakthrough and died.
It could be said that these three bastards bore most of the responsibility for the predecessor’s death.
Li Shangyan narrowed his eyes and said, “So it’s you three dogs. What? Just because you’ve entered the Qi Refining stage, you think you can climb over my head?”
Yu Hua and the others were furious when they heard this, and said viciously, “Li Shangyan, this is Xuan Yuan Sect, not the East Tang imperial dynasty!”
“People without immortal fate are nothing but ants in the end!”
Li Shangyan sneered, “Whether I have immortal fate or not is not for you to decide. The assessment results will decide that!”
After saying that, he could not be bothered with these three small-time villains and turned to continue walking forward.
There was no chance to deal with them now; arguing was meaningless.
Watching Li Shangyan leave, Yu Hua and the other two were somewhat uncertain and suspicious.
“Big brother, do you think Li Shangyan really managed to break through? Otherwise he would not be so confident,” Qian Wuliang asked uncertainly.
Yang Baicheng, however, said in a sinister voice, “I don’t think so. I put a drug in his food. I don’t believe he could still break through like that.”
“Look, he does not even dare to confront us. He must be bluffing.”
Yu Hua snorted coldly and said with disdain, “Hmph! It is best if he did not break through, but even if he did, it does not matter!”
“We all broke through half a year early, and now we are almost at the 2nd layer of the Qi Refining stage.”
“Even if Li Shangyan did break through, it would only be a very recent breakthrough. It takes him a year to advance one layer; he is nothing but trash.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Baicheng and Qian Wuliang nodded in agreement.
One step behind, every step behind.
When Li Shangyan arrived at the Sect square, there were already seven or eight thousand people there, and more were arriving in waves.
Many people looked at the tall, imposing sect gate, their eyes filled with hope.
However, what showed in even more people’s eyes was despair, jealousy, and regret.
Clearly, some had broken through, but most still had no connection to immortality.
Li Shangyan and the others, as prospective outer disciples, had actually not formally entered Xuan Yuan Sect.
Instead, they stayed in a designated area outside the sect gate.
Only after they formally joined Xuan Yuan Sect could they step through that towering Sect gate and become one of the supreme Cultivators!
After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, everyone had arrived.
They quietly waited before the sect gate, not daring to overstep in the slightest.
At that moment, several sounds of air-breaking rang out.
Everyone quickly looked up and saw seven immortal beasts flying over from inside the Sect.
These immortal beasts included flying cranes, divine eagles, and giant vultures.
On each immortal beast sat a human figure.
They were the Cultivators of Xuan Yuan Sect!
The instant they appeared, everyone’s eyes lit up!
The seven immortal beasts landed in front of the Sect square, and their flapping wings stirred up a fierce wind, making the waiting crowd stagger a little.
A few prospective outer disciples standing near the front were so frightened by the divine eagle’s sharp gaze that they fell to the ground, drawing laughter from many others.
The Cultivator on the immortal beast could not help but shout, “Trash! The few of you are eliminated. Expel them from the Sect immediately!”
Before those four unlucky fellows could react, a Cultivator seated on an immortal beast raised his sleeve, and a burst of wind swept them up.
“Ah!”
Several screams sounded, fading off into the distance!
The four had already been swept away, flying toward the distance.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately fell silent.
They were afraid that if they accidentally annoyed these powerful experts and were inexplicably eliminated, there would really be nowhere to reason about it.
At that moment, the seven Cultivators on the immortal beasts leaped down and landed in front of the crowd.
