Chapter 753: Chapter 753: The Forbidden Power Land

Boom!

After a loud roar, Peter Brown appeared in a courtyard.

Looking around, Peter could clearly feel the presence of many strong auras.

From the county to the shire, this city was called Great Yecheng City, and the Shire Mansion was located here.

When Peter came out of the teleportation formation, he thought he had arrived in the shire and looked around curiously, but he couldn’t see what was going on outside.

"Who’s there?"

As Peter was looking around, a loud shout came from inside.

"I’m the one who was transferred to the Alchemy Hospital, this is my transfer order."

Peter took out a transfer order.

As Peter took out the transfer order, a middle-aged woman had already approached him.

"You must be Peter Brown, right?"

The woman took Peter’s transfer order.

"Yes."

"Well, we know about your situation, and welcome you to become a part of the civil servants."

After some casual conversation, the woman returned the transfer order to Peter.

"Come with me, there are some rules for those of you who have never been to a Shire Mansion before."

Peter followed the woman to a room.

When he entered the room, Peter saw that it was filled with ordinary furniture and various pieces of equipment.

"My name is Amber Grant, just call me Sister Amber."

"Sister Amber, I wonder what kind of requirements the Shire has for people like us."

"Here’s a Jade Slip with the rules, take a look first."

After glancing at it for a moment, Peter couldn’t help showing an astonished expression on his face:"So these are the rules of the Shire Mansion?"

Amber smiled and said, "Everyone knows that when a cultivator’s cultivation reaches above Nascent Soul, their destructive power becomes extremely strong. So there is a rule that cultivators cannot use great power to deal with things."

Peter agreed with this and nodded, "I think that’s reasonable."

Amber laughed, "Although some people will obey the rules, there are inevitably those who ignore them. So, our approach is to set up a great power forbidden formation in this city’s area. The formation is set up by experts at the Mahayana stage, and ordinary people can’t break it."

Hearing about the power forbidden formation, Peter’s eyes lit up, as he indeed knew of such formations from his inheritance.

As far as Peter knew, within the range of this formation, cultivators could continue cultivating and increase their cultivation level rapidly, but there was one drawback - cultivators inside the formation couldn’t use their True Qi, making their daily lives just like mortals. In other words, when inside the formation, everyone was living as a mortal, with the only difference being that their physical strength was much greater, and they couldn’t be killed by ordinary people.

Thinking about this, Peter asked, "Is the city a place for refining one’s heart?"

Amber looked at Peter and said, "I didn’t expect you to know something about this formation. That’s right, for cultivators, there comes a time when their progress is no longer about the increase in their True Qi, but about their state of mind, which is called refining heart. However, compared to mortals, cultivators are above them, and they don’t have this environment for refining their hearts. So, we can only create an environment for them to become mortals and refine their hearts. This is the case in every city of cultivators nowadays."

When Peter heard this, he was overjoyed, knowing that even if the Nelson Family’s people were at the Golden Core Stage, their threat to him wouldn’t be that great if they were here.

Amber looked at Peter and said, "Living in such a city comes with rules as well. Refining heart wouldn’t be possible without some kinds of punishment. Every person will be assigned tasks. If you fail, you don’t need someone to punish you, the formation will naturally strip away some of your cultivation level using the Power of Heavenly Dao."

Peter was also aware of this and nodded slightly, "I know a little bit about this. I heard that the formation incorporates the will of the Heavenly Dao, and every task will establish a contract with the will of heaven. If it’s about the Shire’s affairs, I guess the orders from the superiors also contain the will of the Heavenly Dao, right?"

"Exactly. The officials will issue management tasks and various other tasks to everyone. If you complete them, you will be closer to the will of the Heavenly Dao, which means you have succeeded in refining your heart. For your success, there will be rewards, even rewards related to increasing your cultivation. But if you fail, your cultivation, which is currently at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, might fall below Foundation Establishment. It will be even more difficult for you to return to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, and if you fail repeatedly, your cultivation will even fall to the realm of Mortals, destroying your Spiritual Roots!"

Peter felt a chill in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder one needed to reach the Foundation Establishment realm to enter a Shire-level area. Without a certain level of cultivation, one might fail the tasks repeatedly.

"You understand the punishment for civil servants in the Shire now, right?"

Peter nodded.

"If you regret it now, you can still go back to the county. Do you want to go back?"

Peter looked astonished, "Can I go back?"

Amber smiled and said, "As soon as you received the notice, you accepted the first official order, which means you are now a part of the officials. If you quit now, it’s equal to a failure. You already know the consequences of failure."

Peter listened to her words and cursed inwardly. It was clear that they weren’t going to let him back out, and it was impossible to do so.

Seeing Peter like this, Amber said, "In the event of failure, the most that could happen is that you fall below Foundation Establishment, with a little damage to your Spiritual Roots. You will still be able to cultivate afterward, just don’t become an official."

Peter, of course, couldn’t back out now. Besides, he knew that Maxine Nelson had orchestrated all this, and if he entered the Shire, the Nelson Family would try to deal with him. Conversely, if he didn’t enter, his cultivation would be reduced, and he would no longer be an official, giving them more opportunities to mess with him. This was a move to corner him with no way out.

Peter laughed and said, "Of course, I won’t back out. It’s just entering the Shire, and I’m determined to enter Great Yecheng City!"

Amber looked at Peter again and finally said, "Since you’ve decided, give me your identity card. I’ll record your agreement to enter, and from now on, you’ll be an alchemist in the Alchemy Hospital within Great Yecheng City. Congratulations!"

Watching Amber record the Alchemy Hospital information on his identity card, Peter also smiled. From now on, he was officially a qualified doctor in the Cultivation World.
