Moving forward, after passing through the Yang mbrane, what caught the eye was an extraordinarily grand city with walls over forty ters tall and massive double-channel gates, each gate about ten ters wide.
One channel for entry, the other for exit.
A glance revealed that the passage into the city was at least thirty ters thick.
Far beyond what Chentai City could compare to, peculiar patterns of array marks covered the city walls, through which an abnormal power flowed, forming a specific cyclic trajectory. Each complete cycle absorbed free energy from the air, integrating it within.
What surprised Lu Ren was that these array marks seed specifically designed to set up a passage to the Underworld, absorbing Yin Attribute Energy into them.
Back then, Cao Jingde ntioned that only a Talisman Master could carve such a powerful array possessing abnormal power to encircle the entire city and prevent invasion from malevolent entities.
Facing the odd gazes of people entering and exiting the city, it seed they couldn’t fathom why Lu Ren was wearing only a pair of shorts.
"Hmph, must be out here to show off his physique."
A young man dressed like a nobleman noticed Lu Ren standing by the city gate without moving, looking sowhat displeased: "These martial artists are like this, like exhibitionists while fighting."
Lu Ren glanced at him, and despite his gaze being extrely calm, it brought an overwhelming sense of oppression to the young man, even causing him to montarily hold his breath.
Only when Lu Ren’s gaze moved away, as he entered the city, did the heavy oppressive feeling slowly dissipate.
The youth began to breathe heavily, his expression carrying a hint of disbelief, with sweat drenching his back and forehead uncontrollably.
A slightly chubby young companion beside him chuckled softly: "Brother Chen, I told you not to provoke those martial artists. These guys generally haven’t read many books, and if you manage to provoke them without angering them, if you’re unlucky, they won’t listen to reason."
Young Master Chen wanted to say sothing, opened his mouth, but eventually said nothing.
This grand city was called Juliu, with streets wide enough to accommodate eight cars side by side, and specific pedestrian lanes were designated.
On the two-way streets, carriages or exotic beasts laden with heavy goods, rchants adorned with various ornants from faraway places, their steps producing endless jingling and clattering sounds.
The mont Lu Ren appeared, he drew the gaze of most people around, standing around 2.3 ters tall, with a towering muscular body like an armor-clad fortress.
His presence alone was difficult for people to ignore.
He walked straight into a nearby clothing store, pulled out a gold ingot from his backpack.
"Would you accept this? I want to buy so clothes."
The clothing store owner, who had initially been afraid, was no longer scared upon seeing the gold ingot in Lu Ren’s hand, his eyes imdiately illuminated with a glowing interest.
He quickly approached with a fawning smile, took the gold ingot from Lu Ren, and while biting it, nodded and bowed, saying: "Master, please co in and have a look. I’ll take your asurents and tailor a suitable outfit for you, ensuring your satisfaction!"
An hour later, Lu Ren erged from the clothing store, dressed in a black outfit, his full physique making the whole suit exceptionally fitting.
He glanced at a man passing by him, also in shorts, exuding a fierce aura, and was thoughtful, no wonder at the city gate, those well-trained soldiers only gave him a few glances and paid no more attention.
After all, having erged from the Underworld and crossed nearly thirty kiloters of Yang mbrane, if Lu Ren were indeed a malevolent entity, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.
No wonder there was no interrogation; it seems the Daqian Dynasty is quite lenient with entry and exit registrations.
Moreover, throughout the journey, the planning of Juliudai City is extrely reasonable, with fields specifically placed in an inner district close to the main city gate for convenient access and work, with distinct separations for comrcial and residential areas.
Even the sewer system’s planning ingeniously integrates rivers as a driving force to achieve a holistic circulation.
This grand city is excellent, and certainly shouldn’t encounter an invasion from the Underworld. If it does, it would likely be a catastrophe.
Furthermore, Lu Ren could sense that in so areas of Juliu City, powerful presences flickered intermittently.
The combat power of the Daqian Dynasty certainly surpasses Chenliu by three to four levels.
The system’s dinsion anchor looks like it requires a considerable amount of ti to calibrate before he can return.
Since he’d decided to stay here for the ti being, Lu Ren casually found a nearby broker acting as a property interdiary. From purchasing at the clothing store, it was clear to him that the backpack full of gold he carried was imnsely valuable.
The broker offered a polite introduction before asking: "Master, may I know your registration..."
"I don’t have a registration."
The broker showed a troubled expression: "Well, without registration, purchasing property might be unrealistic. After all, a land certificate needs to be approved by the governnt and recorded before it can take effect. Otherwise, even if you spend money to buy it, if the owner suddenly changes their mind claiming you unjustly seized their property, there’s no place for argunt even with a contract."
Seeing the expression on the broker’s face, Lu Ren imdiately understood.
He calmly pulled out a gold ingot weighing about five taels from his pocket: "Could you handle it for , and if the registration goes through, consider this gold ingot yours."
The broker’s eyes nearly bulged out upon seeing the gold ingot in Lu Ren’s hand, his eyes glowing with a green light and his voice trembling: "Please rest assured, Master, I do have so channels to get a registration done, but this may inconvenience you a little."
Lu Ren raised an eyebrow: "How so?"
The broker, eager to make money, spoke directly without hesitation. After cautiously confirming the gold in front of him, he spoke with so embarrassnt: "My na is Wang Zhihuan, and I have nurous distant relatives, but most perished in a calamity thirty years ago during an invasion from the Underworld. Under confusing circumstances, most were deed missing, becoming refugees. Fortunately, a registration was left and recorded in the governnt.
I have a nephew nad Wang Feng, about your age. If you don’t mind, Master..."
Wang Zhihuan didn’t finish his sentence, but Lu Ren understood what he ant, nodding slightly: "As long as I can get registered, it doesn’t matter."
Wang Zhihuan nodded repeatedly: "I wonder if Master Lu has a place to stay. I have a small courtyard at the back with decent facilities. If you don’t mind, you can stay overnight. The governnt offices have closed for the day, and tomorrow morning, we can go together."
Lu Ren nodded slightly: "Alright."
Wang Zhihuan understood that this big deal was secure now that Lu Ren had agreed. He quickly instructed a servant nearby to order a table of dishes from the restaurant next door, then led Lu Ren into a courtyard in the vicinity.
"Please rest for now. I won’t disturb you further."
Wang Zhihuan, being tactful, left, leaving Lu Ren alone to examine the room.
The bedding was new, exuding a soothing herbal scent that cald the mind.
It seed Wang Zhihuan had made this place his guest room.
As for the restroom, there was also a separate bathing room with smooth tiles, a pit ford into one piece, directly connecting to the sewage system.
Lu Ren looked with great interest, thinking that despite being an ancient feudal society, after countless years of developnt, so living facilities were indeed quite refined.
Although not comparable to modern society, it still offered significant convenience.
