The Xu family is one of the families affiliated with the Beimang Academy in the Douxuan Kingdom, a dominant presence.

Every examination period, the Xu family also obtains many assessment slots, which are sufficient to keep the Xu family powerful.

Upon hearing Tuoba Ding’s words, Chu Fengmian asked,

"Are there any powerful individuals within the Xu family?"

"Among the Xu family, there is an ancestor who has reached the second level of the Realm of Life and Death, with a power index of thirty, a somewhat famous power figure."

Tuoba Ding reported truthfully.

"Second level of the Realm of Life and Death..."

Chu Fengmian’s gaze flickered, seemingly contemplating something.

Then his expression changed, and he turned to Xu Jin and said,

"Very well, if the Xu family is willing to give us the examination slots, we will not demand them for nothing; we can offer you some wealth."

As Chu Fengmian spoke, he gestured with his hand, and in his palm suddenly appeared a river of Spiritual Medicine, containing endless Nine Tripods Pills, amounting to billions.

"En?"

Xu Jin’s expression, upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, was initially dismissive.

After all, she saw Chu Fengmian and his group as just coming from some broken-down small kingdoms; what wealth could they have?

But upon seeing the billions of Nine Tripods Pills, Xu Jin’s expression changed dramatically, her eyes filled with greed.

Billions of Nine Tripods Pills were a massive fortune for her, although she came from the Xu family, where there were countless outstanding disciples.

Unless it was the Family Head, no one could present so much wealth at once.

Xu Jin’s expression changed slightly, then quickly returned to calm, with a smile on her face,

"You have saved me; once you accompany me back to my family, naturally, the assessment slots will be given to you."

"Please, come with me."

After saying this, Xu Jin led the way, taking Chu Fengmian and continuing to fly.

The realm where the Xu family resided, the Douxuan Kingdom, was near Beimang Academy, so the route was the same; Chu Fengmian and his group first arrived at Xuanzhou Ancient City, then used a Teleportation Array to cross countless kingdoms.

Finally, after seven days, they arrived before an immensely large city.

This city was the capital of the Douxuan Kingdom, Douxuan City.

Xu Jin’s Xu family was located here.

This city, larger than a victorious Martial Arts kingdom, was covered with numerous ripples flaring above at a glance.

Waves of Spiritual Power pulsed out from within, and Douxuan City was guarded by many restrictions and Arrays.

Compared with the Quan City Ancient City, it was not far off.

Chu Fengmian and his group directly descended within the city,

Two guards of Douxuan City, seeing Chu Fengmian and his group descend, all came to meet them.

These two guards of Douxuan City both possessed the power of the Riding Wind Realm, but they were of average qualifications and likely wouldn’t enter the Divine Power Realm to become saints in their lifetime.

"Who goes there! Breaking into the city gate! Halt!"

The two guards shouted loudly.

"Two pieces of trash, you don’t even recognize this miss?"

Xu Jin’s expression turned cold as she spoke icily.

"Get out of my way!"

"It’s Miss Jin."

"Miss Jin has returned."

The two guards, upon clearly seeing Xu Jin’s face, suddenly turned pale, and nervously looked at each other.

"We were blind not to recognize Miss Jin. Please forgive us, Miss Jin."

It seemed that even the guards were extremely afraid of Xu Jin, immediately kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness.

"Hmph, today I’m bringing esteemed guests, so I won’t hold it against you."

Xu Jin waved her sleeve and led Chu Fengmian and his companions into the city of Dou Xuan, ignoring the two guards.

Upon entering the city of Dou Xuan, Chu Fengmian glanced around to see countless people.

In this city, trade was not flourishing, certainly nowhere near as much as in Quan City Ancient City.

However, there were quite a few martial artists within. At a glance, Chu Fengmian noticed several young martial artists with the potential to reach the Divine Power realm and the qualifications of holy beings.

Even those with the potential to reach the Divine Power realm were few and far between in reality.

The entire City of Dou Xuan seemed like a place of warriors, each person practicing martial arts with high spirits.

"I do wonder what kind of strong individuals there are in this City of Dou Xuan."

Without moving a muscle, Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense burst forth, his perception far stronger than that of ordinary martial artists due to his two lifetimes of experience.

In an instant, Chu Fengmian scanned most parts of the City of Dou Xuan.

There was only one Life-Death realm strong individual in the city, probably the ancestor of the Xu family that Tuoba Ding had mentioned.

Even in the vast City of Dou Xuan, there was only one Life-Death realm strong individual. It seemed that reaching the Life-Death realm was not easy.

Although Beimang Academy had many Life-Death realm individuals, that was the accumulation of millions of years and the nurturing of geniuses from the entire northern region.

A true Life-Death realm martial artist was one in a million, not even a million martial artists necessarily producing one.

"How does Mister Chu find this City of Dou Xuan?"

While walking through the city, Xu Jin casually inquired.

Though her words seemed to be small talk, they held a hint of probing.

Chu Fengmian, perceptive as ever, immediately put on a surprised expression, like a country bumpkin seeing the marketplace for the first time, and said,

"It’s so prosperous, many times more than my hometown!"

"Surely a country bumpkin from a remote area!"

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s amazed words, Xu Jin inwardly sneered continuously, though her expression remained very calm.

"The city where Beimang Academy is located, Beimang City, is the truly bustling place, dozens, even hundreds of times more prosperous than our City of Dou Xuan. Once you enter Beimang Academy, you will see," she said calmly.

"Oh? Dozens, even hundreds of times more bustling than this Dou Xuan City?"

Chu Fengmian feigned surprise.

"Exactly."

Xu Jin nodded, looking at Chu Fengmian with disdain.

Such a remote background, yet Chu Fengmian and his companions possessed such strength and wealth, clearly the typical nouveau riche who stumbled upon some miraculous treasure,

which she naturally scorned.

However, Xu Jin’s expression remained subtly smiling without any change.

"Let’s hurry. I’ve already informed my father, and he is waiting at our mansion."

Saying so, the group quickened their pace, heading toward the Xu family’s mansion.
