Chapter 575: Mystic Void Continent (Part 5)

"What do you mean? How does time factor into this?" Amalia frowned, recalling the conversation they’d overheard in the line at the city gate.

"You don’t know?" This time, the waiter was genuinely surprised.

Amalia calmly said, "We just came out of a remote mountain area a few days ago."

"I see." The waiter nodded, "It’s not a secret. You can ask anyone around here and they’ll tell you."

"What’s going on then?"

"It’s because of the ongoing wars. Lately, the battles have become more frequent. Every year, the major sects have to send out many people, and many of the end up dead on the wars," the waiter sighed.

Ongoing wars?

Amalia wanted to ask more but she was wary of arousing suspicion.

She simply nodded her head and said, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

The waiter smiled and went back to his duties.

"It seems the Mystic Void Continent is not at peace. We need to find out more about the situation," Amalia said to Kenny Lin.

Kenny Lin poked at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks.

The food lacked any spiritual energy and was of poor quality.

He had little appetite.

"Do you want to go to the Green Lotus Sect?" Kenny Lin asked.

Amalia nodded her head, "I want to check it out. We know nothing right now and have no direction. Trying to figure things out on our own might make it hard to discover some important secrets. It’s better to join a sect first."

She also wanted to find out more about the Yin-Yang Pearl.

Given its ability to seal spatial rifts, it must be of high quality.

Could ordinary people know about the Yin-Yang Pearl?

Probably not.

"Then let’s go," Kenny Lin said, putting down his chopsticks.

Amalia, not wanting to waste the food, ate half of it and forced Kenny Lin to eat the other half.

"I’m eating this because I don’t want you to suffer through such awful food alone," Kenny Lin explained as he ate, "See how good I am to you? Aren’t you moved?"

"Yes, very moved. Tears are streaming down on my face," Amalia said, her expression unchanged.

Kenny Lin pouted, sensing the lack of sincerity in her words.

After finishing their meal and paying the bill, they left the tavern.

Kenny Lin grumbled under his breath.

"For such terrible food to cost twenty low-grade spirit stones, it’s like daylight robbery."

"Why don’t we open our own tavern then? Just pick some wild vegetables from the roadside, cook a few dishes, and sell them for the same price. We could make a fortune."

Amalia was too speechless to respond him.

If they followed Kenny Lin’s idea, they’d probably get beaten up on their first day they opened the business.

Before leaving Arabesque City, they asked around about the travel time to the Green Lotus Sect and learned it would take more than half a month.

On Earth, it would take just a day or two to travel a similar distance.

Just based on this, you can imagine the vastness of the Mystic Void Continent.

Fortunately, both of them could fly.

If they had to travel by horse, it would take over a month.

They didn’t use spirit stones to recover their energy.

Instead, whenever their spiritual energy was depleted, they would meditate for an hour to recover their spiritual energy before continuing their journey.

They managed to arrive at Tranquil Mist Town, near the Green Lotus Sect, a month before the recruitment event.

Landing in the distant town, they looked up to see a towering peak that wa shrouded in clouds.

They’re looking majestic and imposing.

That was the Green Lotus Sect.

Although it was called a town, Tranquil Mist Town was actually as large as a city.

In the past month or so, the flow of people in Tranquil Mist Town has increased significantly.

The bustling crowds were abuzz with discussions about the Green Lotus Sect’s recruitment competition.

It was said that this was the first time the Green Lotus Sect had raised the age limit for disciples to thirty.

Many people who had been too old to join the sect were now flocking into the town upon hearing the news.

"Have you heard? This time, Master Lian will personally choose a disciple at the recruitment competition."

"Really?"

"Of course, it’s true. I have a relative whose son is quite talented and is now an inner disciple of the Green Lotus Sect. Inner disciples’ news is always reliable."

"It’s a pity that Master Lian isn’t planning to take a disciple from the existing inner disciples. Otherwise, my distant nephew might have had a chance."

"Come on, even if Master Lian were willing to take discipline from the inner sect, his standards would be extremely high."

"But the age range of fifteen to thirty isn’t particularly high, is it?"

"Not necessarily. At fifteen, talent is just beginning to show. How high can one’s cultivation be at that age? To become a disciple of Master Lian, you’d need to be at least at the Golden Core Stage."

"Golden Core Stage, huh? I can’t even get past the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone think about the Golden Core."

"I’ve heard that among the applicants this time, there are a few geniuses who are already at the Golden Core stage and under thirty. They’re definitely aiming to be chosen by Master Lian."

"This recruitment competition is going to be exciting to watch."

Amalia and Kenny Lin casually chose a teahouse.

As soon as they entered, they heard everyone discussing the Green Lotus Sect’s recruitment competition.

"What’s our current cultivation level?" Amalia pondered for a moment.

"Foundation Building Stages, I think," Kenny Lin replied after a brief pause.

Amalia nodded her head in agreement.

She thought so too.

The path of cultivation on Earth had started too late, with only one or two thousand years of history.

Although many systems had been developed through trial and error, they were still very immature.
