Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 939 - 913 Yanshan City

"We’re doomed, run!" As soon as the two were thrown out, they shouted loudly, and immediately the bandits scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing quickly.

Tangyu didn’t intend to chase them; he sent the bandits away and smirked, "So funny, really funny, these days even bandits are such jokesters, it’s hilarious."

Luo Xiaobing also chuckled, amused by the bandits’ antics; she had never seen such humorous bandits before.

This incident was just a brief interlude, a moment of amusement, and they resumed their journey towards Yanshan City in their carriage.

The time was quite abundant, so there was no rush. It took nearly four days to reach Yanshan City.

From afar, they saw the majestic Yanshan City, situated in a flatland area, surrounded on three sides by steep mountain ranges that seem endless, the horizon nowhere in sight. The city, encircled by mountains, appeared even more towering.

From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon lying beneath the mountains. The city walls stretched for hundreds of miles; even at a glance, the end couldn’t be seen.

Such a majestic city; it was Tangyu’s first time seeing it. It was Luo Xiaobing’s first visit to Yanshan City as well, and she was struck by the sight, saying, "Indeed, it’s worthy of being the largest city in Yanshan. Yanshan City is directly governed by the Yanshan Sect, and it’s said that the City Lord of Yanshan City holds a very high position within the Yanshan Sect. This Yanshan City is truly vast; our Raofeng Town doesn’t even compare to one percent of it."

Tangyu nodded, "It really is big, exuding an Immortal City’s vibe, shrouded in mist, backed by mountains, truly majestic."

Luo Xiaobing smiled, "Yes, calling it an Immortal City makes sense. After all, besides the Yanshan Sect, there’s only Yanshan City in Yanshan. The Yanshan Sect is said to be located in the mountains behind Yanshan City, a place for absolute purification. When it comes to bustling and prosperous places, Yanshan City is unparalleled. Yanshan City is definitely the most popular place in Yanshan, and many Yanshan Sect disciples reside permanently here, making the city extremely lively."

Getting closer to Yanshan City, one could see official roads leading to every direction in Yanshan. Each road was filled with a continuous stream of people going in and out, of all kinds. There were merchants, and scattered cultivators.

From afar, Tangyu saw a towering gate, a hundred feet high, no less than a hundred feet long, exuding grandeur. The gate had three large engraved characters: Yanshan City.

The three characters seemed to contain a terrifying energy; just a glance would make one feel an involuntary sense of respect. It felt as if the characters were alive, punishing those who disrespected them, which surprised Tangyu. Even mere characters were so formidable; it’s intriguing who left them here.

On each side of the gate stood two rows of black-armored City Guards, imposing, stern in expression, and impressive, deterring any notion of misbehavior.

These black-armored City Guards were all at the Ninth Layer of the Fundamental Realm, not weak at all. Moreover, two captain-like men in black armor emitted the aura of the Mystic Law Realm, startling anyone who witnessed it. Indeed, this was the influence of Yanshan City, with two Mystic Law Realm masters guarding a gate.

Keep in mind, Yanshan City has twelve gates, so if each gate was like this, wouldn’t there be twenty-four Mystic Law Realm cultivators just to guard the gates? Not counting those on duty rotation. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Just the power of these City Guards was enough to instill fear.

Everyone paid ten lower-grade Pure Yang Stones as an entrance fee to enter the city. Upon entering, they saw wide avenues branching out in all directions, swiftly dispersing the crowd.

Street after street lined with buildings, shops of all kinds abounded. Taverns, inns, noodle shops, and various businesses; even brothels, showcasing a bustling scene, with noise and activity reaching the heavens. Immersing within, one could feel the vibrant atmosphere.

Such a bustling scene was entirely different in flavor from that of the Capital City in Donglin City, given this was a place of immortal cultivation, rich in the aura of cultivation.

Luo Xiaobing looked around excitedly and curiously, a bit like a country bumpkin coming to the city.

"Let’s find an inn to settle down first," Luo Xiaobing suggested.

Tangyu nodded, "Let’s find an inn."

They searched through more than a dozen inns, all of which were full.

Tangyu smirked, "It seems the Yanshan Sect’s disciple selection has drawn countless people here, so many inns are packed. Let’s keep looking; such a large Yanshan City certainly has plenty of inns."

Luo Xiaobing nodded. Indeed, if it weren’t for the disciple selection by the Yanshan Sect, Yanshan City wouldn’t be so bustling. Generally, participants in the Yanshan Sect’s disciple selection settle in Yanshan City first. Moreover, information regarding the disciple selection is released by the City Lord’s Mansion in Yanshan City. Every time, the City Lord’s Mansion handles coordination, so participants must come to Yanshan City to stay.

A figure suddenly jumped out: "Hey, handsome guys and beautiful ladies, are you worried about finding an inn to stay at?"

Tangyu sized up the newcomer, who appeared to be in his early twenties, average looking, average dressing, and with an even more average strength level. He seemed to be around the Fourth or Fifth Layer of the Fundamental Realm, roughly equivalent to the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm in Earth’s Ancient Martial Arts. In the Cultivation World, he naturally amounted to nothing special.

His face was full of a fawning smile, giving a rather good impression. The most memorable thing about him was his shiny bald head. Along with his square-shaped face and somewhat simple and honest smile, he gave a slightly silly and amusing impression.

Luo Xiaobing, however, was slightly on her guard; she dared not be careless while out in the world.

The bald man noticed Tangyu and Luo Xiaobing’s watchfulness and immediately said: "Don’t misunderstand me, let me introduce myself. My name is Fu Qiang, but others like to call me Bald Qiang. Hehe, the Bald Qiang you’ve heard about in Yanshan City is none other than me."

"Bald Qiang?" Tangyu nearly choked on a sip of water, looking the man up and down. If he had a bit of a beard, he really would look like Bald Qiang.

It was quite a coincidence.

"Hehe, handsome, you’ve surely heard my name, right? I’m not bragging when I say I’m somewhat famous in Yanshan City. Many who come to Yanshan City directly seek out Bald Qiang. I’m a golden brand here."

Tangyu smirked: "Haha, I’ve not only heard it but it’s etched into my memory."

Bald Qiang felt even happier: "Haha, if you’ve heard it, that’s normal. So I guess I don’t need to say much more, right?"

Luo Xiaobing, looking puzzledly at Tangyu, then said to Bald Qiang: "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Ahem—" Bald Qiang, too, was taken aback, quickly straightening his clothes as he explained: "Beautiful lady, here’s the thing: I specialize in guiding visitors like you who are entering Yanshan City for the first time. You could consider me a tour guide. This is quite a popular profession in Yanshan City, much like being a tourist guide."

"You see, this is your first time in Yanshan City, right? You must be unfamiliar with the place, right? But I know Yanshan City very well. So hiring me as your guide means I can help you with everything—from lodging and dining to entertainment, saving you a lot of time and effort. Just like now, you’ve probably found ten or so inns all fully booked, right? This is when you need my help, Bald Qiang."

"Just tell me your requirements, and I can immediately find you a place to stay. And I’m well-acquainted with all the dining and entertainment spots in Yanshan City, capable of meeting all your needs. So, don’t you really need me?"

Tangyu smirked; he hadn’t expected the Cultivation World to have the tour guide profession as well. Indeed, things were much more convenient with a guide. Otherwise, being unfamiliar with the place could be quite overwhelming.

Luo Xiaobing also looked at Tangyu for confirmation. Tangyu nodded and said, "Alright, let’s hire him then."

Bald Qiang immediately grinned, patting his chest: "Hiring me, Bald Qiang, is undoubtedly your wisest choice. My service will definitely make you feel it’s worth every penny. But let’s talk about the fee first; I, Bald Qiang, have always been fair and honest, offering value for money. It’s just fifty Lower Grade Pure Yang Stones a day."

"Fifty?" Luo Xiaobing frowned slightly, clearly finding the price a bit steep.

Bald Qiang immediately explained: "Miss, this price is sincerely not expensive, absolutely ultra-low and economical. Otherwise, you can ask around; others charge sixty, some even a hundred. I’m charging fifty, truly low. The consumption standards of Yanshan City are different from other places. Fifty is really cheap."

Tangyu waved his hand: "Alright, fifty it is. I’ll pay you two hundred upfront to hire you for four days. If things go well, we’ll continue."

"Haha, this handsome guy knows what’s what, truly has vision, honestly," Bald Qiang praised, shamelessly complimenting himself.

Tangyu casually gave Bald Qiang two hundred Lower Grade Pure Yang Stones. Bald Qiang pocketed the stones and immediately asked: "Do you want to stay somewhere of higher quality or more affordable, or perhaps very cheap? But let me tell you, because of the Yanshan Sect disciple selection, all major inns have raised their prices. To find something truly cheap, you won’t be able to stay at an inn. You’ll need to rent someone’s place instead, but rental would require at least half a month’s stay."

"I assume you’re here for the Yanshan Sect disciple selection as well, so I think renting a small courtyard would be more worthwhile. Of course, staying at an inn is also fine if you want convenient dining."

Tangyu looked at Luo Xiaobing and asked: "What do you think?"

Luo Xiaobing replied: "I’m easy; whatever you decide is fine. We won’t be staying long in Yanshan City anyway."

Tangyu nodded: "Staying at an inn involves too much hassle. Let’s rent a courtyard instead. Bald Qiang, pick us one with a good environment, it’s okay if it’s a bit expensive, just make sure the environment is nice and it’s close to a restaurant."
