After Chu Feng communicated with Dantian through spirit connection, they could communicate with each other mentally, and no one could detect it.
Under Dantian's guidance, Chu Feng not only quickly mastered the power of the barrier, but was also able to set up simple barriers and perform the most basic barrier techniques. He could already be regarded as a half-bound spirit master.
On this day, Chu Feng arrived in Zijin City. After all, the so-called new talent competition was approaching, and today was the day when Chen Hui brought Chu Feng to Zijin City.
Zijin City truly deserved to be called a second-class city. The wide streets were bustling with people, and the shops along the roads were numerous and diverse. The people living here were either wealthy or of noble status. The prosperity of this city was incomparable to the desolate ancient city.
After all, the desolate ancient city was just an ordinary city, while Zijin City was a second-class city with management rights and was protected by the Jiang Dynasty. The two cities were worlds apart in terms of status.
Chu Feng wore the clothing of the core disciple of the Blue Dragon Sect. Walking in Zijin City, he received many admiring glances from people. After all, Chu Feng's age was really young, and such an age with such achievements always caught people's attention.
However, such admiring glances only appeared in the eyes of ordinary people. When Chu Feng arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, he encountered these two people who looked down on Chu Feng.
"Oh, look, aren't those the disciples of the second-class sect, the Blue Dragon Sect?"
"It's ridiculous. They only have eight levels of spirit cultivation, yet they are already core disciples. Ah, think about it, the two of us are at eight levels of spirit cultivation, but in Lingyun Sect, we are only inner door disciples."
"Ah, a second-class sect. How can it be compared to our Lingyun Sect? Our core disciples are all the best of the best, while their core disciples are far inferior to us these inner door disciples."
The two teenagers got off a luxurious carriage and saw Chu Feng, exchanging cold words and their eyes filled with contempt.
They were only a few years older than Chu Feng, and the clothing was indeed the clothing of Lingyun Sect. Presumably, they were the ones representing Zijin City to participate in the new talent competition.
However, Chu Feng did not pay attention to their sarcastic remarks and walked straight towards the city lord's mansion. Just as he reached the gate, he was stopped by the group of guards at the entrance.
"I was invited by Chen Hui to participate in the new talent competition on behalf of Zijin City." Chu Feng said.
When they heard this, the guards frowned and their faces became rather displeased. After all, directly addressing the city lord's name was a taboo.
But after carefully observing Chu Feng, they did not get angry. Instead, they said rudely, "Please show your invitation letter!"
"Invitation letter?" Chu Feng was stunned. Chen Hui had not given him any invitation letter.
"Without an invitation letter, are you just here to make a fool of yourself?" Just then, the two disciples of Lingyun Sect walked over. Looking at Chu Feng with a smile and each taking out a letter to hand to the guard.
"Two young masters, please follow me." After confirming that the invitation letter was correct, the guard was very polite to the two disciples of Lingyun Sect.
"This young brother, don't you know that all participants in the new talent competition are the elites of Zijin City? Even without your such cultivation level, just your identity as a disciple of the Blue Dragon Sect is not worthy of participating in the new talent competition."
"Exactly, a second-class sect wants to represent Zijin City to participate in the new talent competition? It's just wishful thinking!" However, the two disciples of Lingyun Sect did not follow the guards in, but instead criticized Chu Feng.
"Ah, hurry up and go. The participants of the new talent competition are all carefully selected and personally invited by the city lord. If you haven't received the invitation letter, you are not qualified for this position." Even the guards were driving Chu Feng away. Clearly, they thought Chu Feng came on his own initiative and was not invited by the city lord.
"Do you think I'm faking?" Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged and asked calmly.
"This is the city lord's mansion. You'd better not be unreasonable. Otherwise, you'll be in for it." The guard's expression turned cold, showing signs of impatience.
"Humph, open your stupid eyes and watch for yourself!" Seeing this, Chu Feng didn't waste any words. After taking out the purple gold token, he directly threw it at the guard's face.
"Crack!"
When the guard caught the token, he was about to explode with anger. But when he saw the token clearly, his face changed drastically. Because it was a purple gold token, which was equivalent to the identity of the city lord. Only the closest people to the city lord could possess it.
At this moment, the guard realized he had made a huge mistake. No matter who Chu Feng was, as long as there was the purple gold token, it was definitely someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"I deserve to die a thousand deaths. I don't know who you are!!!" ."
At this point, the guard suddenly fell to his knees, begging for mercy to Chu Feng. His body was trembling, clearly showing that he was truly frightened.
At the same time, all the other guards around him also knelt down. Seeing the token as if it were the lord of the city, they had to perform the kneeling ceremony.
However, compared to those guards, the two disciples from the Lingyun Sect looked pale and very ugly. They could never have imagined that this second-class sect's disciple would have a purple gold token. That was something they didn't even have.
Fortunately, their identities were special, being disciples of the Lingyun Sect, the first sect in Qingzhou. Otherwise, even they would have had to kneel down to Chu Feng, which would have been extremely embarrassing.
Chu Feng didn't bother to pay attention to them. Instead, he was led by the guards into the palace and entered a large hall.
This hall was already filled with five young men and women. Judging from their appearance, none of them was over eighteen years old. Each had an outstanding appearance and noble bearing, and were all disciples from the first-class sects.
Even the guards of Purple Gold City couldn't be negligent towards these people. Because each of them had excellent talents and their future achievements were unlimited. They would eventually become the pillars of Purple Gold City and even the city itself wouldn't be able to retain them.
As for the origin of these people, naturally they were the candidates representing Purple Gold City to attend the Newcomer Competition. Including Chu Feng, there were exactly eight of them.
When Chu Feng and the two disciples from the Lingyun Sect entered, everyone was pleasantly surprised. However, the astonished looks were all directed towards the two behind Chu Feng.
The look directed at Chu Feng itself was somewhat odd. After all, as disciples of the first-class sects, they had a deep-rooted disdain for the disciples of the second-class sects. Even the core disciples were also not taken seriously.
As for Chu Feng, he was too lazy to try to get close to them. After all, these people were only at the level of Spirit Martial Nine Layers. Although they were higher in terms of realm than Chu Feng, when it came to tactics, Chu Feng thought it would be as easy to kill them as crushing ants.
"Look, it's Wan Wenpeng!" But just at that moment, several people in the main hall suddenly stood up and looked out of the hall in surprise.
Seeing this, Chu Feng also turned his gaze towards them. He found that under the escort of a group of guards, a handsome young man was slowly approaching.
This one was also a first-class disciple of the sect, but unlike the other disciples, he was not an Inner Gate disciple. Instead, he was a core disciple of the first-class sect.
"Finally, we have someone who can be considered decent." Seeing this person, Chu Feng also smiled slightly. Because this young man's cultivation level was indeed much stronger than the other several people. He was in the Yuan Martial realm.
