Fang Yue followed the crowd into the city, and saw crisscrossing streets with numerous shops on both sides.

There are shops selling all kinds of strange magic weapons. Those magic weapons are shining with mysterious light, and the runes are looming, as if telling their extraordinary origins and powerful power;
There are medicine shops that sell rare elixirs, which emit bursts of fragrance, attracting passers-by to stop and look;
There are also some bookstores that sell secret manuals on cultivation. The shops are filled with ancient books, and many practitioners browse and explore them, hoping to find a method that is suitable for improving their strength.

Fang Yue was wandering around the city curiously, with the little monster following closely behind him. He looked around from time to time, and was full of curiosity about everything around him.

As he walked, Fang Yue came to a bustling square.

There is a huge fountain in the center of the square. The water columns from the fountain are several feet high. Under the sunlight, they refract colorful light, which is like a dream.

The fountain was surrounded by people, including children laughing and playing, old people basking in the sun leisurely, and many young practitioners exchanging skills with each other.

Fang Yue was watching intently when he suddenly heard a melodious sound of a piano. The sound was graceful and ethereal, as if it had a mysterious magic that made people intoxicated.

Fang Yue looked in the direction of the piano sound and saw a woman in white sitting quietly playing the piano in a corner of the square.

The woman had a beautiful face and an otherworldly temperament. She seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo, which formed a sharp contrast with the noisy square.

Fang Yue couldn't help but walk towards the woman. When he got closer, he found that there were some strange objects placed next to the woman, which seemed to be for sale.

Fang Yue became very interested in these objects, so he stopped and looked at them carefully.

The woman seemed to notice Fang Yue's gaze. She raised her head slightly and looked at Fang Yue. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then she smiled faintly and asked softly, "Sir, are you interested in these little things?"

Fang Yue scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I am indeed a little curious. I wonder what is so special about these things of yours, young lady?"

The woman plucked the strings lightly, and the sound paused slightly. Then she slowly said, "These objects are not ordinary. For example, this jade pendant looks ordinary, but it actually contains a pure vitality. Wearing it can help practitioners calm down and improve their concentration during practice.
Look at this fan again. If you can fully comprehend the runes on the fan, you can exert unexpected power in battle."

Fang Yue's heart moved when he heard it. He picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he could feel a warm energy slowly flowing into his body, making his mood instantly peaceful and tranquil.

Fang Yue's heart moved when he heard it. He picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he could feel a warm energy slowly flowing into his body, making his mood instantly peaceful and tranquil.

Just as Fang Yue was carefully feeling the wonder of the jade pendant, he started talking with the woman in white and learned that this place belonged to the Great Jin Dynasty.

This greatly surprised Fang Yue. He had never thought that he would be teleported to such a far place.

In his understanding, the Wei Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were very far apart, with many mysterious regions and powerful forces in between.

Fang Yue couldn't help but think about his own situation. He knew very well that he had no relatives in the Jin Dynasty, and the mysterious man in black robe and the powerful demon clan were chasing him relentlessly.

But he also understood that this might be an opportunity given to him by fate. In this strange place, he might be able to find more ways to improve his strength and fight against the enemy.

He asked the woman in white about the situation of the Jin Dynasty. The woman tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment and said:
"Sir, the Great Jin Dynasty is vast, and the spirit of cultivation is prevalent. There are many cultivation sects in the dynasty, among which the Tianxuan Sect, Lingxiao Sect, and Taiyue Palace are the most powerful.

These sects control many precious resources for cultivation, have numerous disciples and are full of powerful people.

Moreover, there are some mysterious ruins and forbidden areas in the dynasty, which are said to hide peerless treasures and powerful skills, but they are also accompanied by great dangers. Many adventurers have gone to explore, but never returned. "

Fang Yue listened carefully and secretly took note of the information in his mind.

He then asked, "Miss, do you know if there is any place in this city where I can further improve my strength? I am being hunted by a powerful enemy and I urgently need to increase my strength."

The woman smiled gently and said, "If you want to improve your strength, you might as well go to the martial arts hall in the city and give it a try.

The martial arts hall is where many masters in the city gather. There are often various exchanges and communication activities, and some senior masters guide the younger generations in the hall.

If you can get the favor of the seniors in the martial arts hall, you may be able to obtain precious training experience or training resources.

In addition, there is a Lingxu Mountain Range outside the city. The mountain range is rich in vitality. Although it is not as good as some famous holy places for cultivation, it is still a good place for cultivation.

However, there are some powerful monsters in the Lingxu Mountains. If you encounter them, you need to be careful. "

Fang Yue was grateful in his heart, and bowed to the woman, saying, "Thank you for telling me, young lady. I will always remember your kindness."

The woman nodded slightly and said, "You are too polite, my lord. It is fate that we meet. I hope you can achieve your wish in the Great Jin Dynasty."

After Fang Yue said goodbye to the woman, he took the little monster and walked towards the martial arts hall.

Along the way, he saw the unique architectural styles in the city. Some were tall and magnificent, demonstrating wealth and majesty; some were small and exquisite, exuding an air of elegance.

Pedestrians came and went on the street. The auras emanating from the practitioners were different. Some were strong and domineering, while others were feminine and introverted, which opened Fang Yue's eyes.

Soon, Fang Yue arrived at the martial arts hall.

The gate of the martial arts hall is magnificent, with two huge stone lions in front of it, looking majestic.

Fang Yue walked into the martial arts hall, and saw that it was spacious and bright, with a huge martial arts arena in the middle, surrounded by rows of stands. At this time, two young practitioners were having a fierce competition in the martial arts arena.

A cultivator held a long sword in his hand, his sword skills were sharp, his sword moves were as smooth as flowing clouds and water, and each sword strike carried a powerful fluctuation of vitality;
The other practitioner was unarmed, but his punches were fierce and powerful, with whistling wind and roaring sounds when they collided with the long sword.

Fang Yue stood aside and watched. He saw different ways of cultivation and fighting skills from this competition, and pondered over them in his mind.

After the competition, the audience around applauded and cheered.

Fang Yue was immersed in the aftertaste of the exciting competition just now, thinking about how to get more opportunities to improve his strength in this martial arts hall.

Suddenly, an arrogant voice sounded behind him: "Boy, hand over the little monster next to you, this young master has taken a fancy to it!"

Fang Yue turned around and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes walking towards him with a few followers.

The man's eyes were filled with arrogance and greed. He looked Fang Yue and the little demon beast up and down, with a disdainful smile on his face. Fang Yue frowned, hugged the little demon beast tightly, and said coldly: "This little demon beast is my partner, I will not give it to anyone."

When the young man heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he shouted angrily: "Do you know who I am?

I am Zhao Xuan, the son of a wealthy businessman in this city. There is nothing I cannot get.

If you know what's best for you, hand over the little monster and I can give you some money. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Fang Yue sneered in his heart. How could he be frightened by such a threat? He looked directly into Zhao Xuan's eyes and said, "No matter who you are, I will not give in to this little monster."

Zhao Xuan was furious when he saw Fang Yue was so ungrateful. He waved his hand and several followers behind him rushed towards Fang Yue.

Although these followers were not top-notch in strength, they all had some skills. They waved their weapons and rushed towards Fang Yue aggressively.

Fang Yue gently placed the little monster aside, told it not to run around, then gripped his sword tightly and faced the enemy.

He performed the "Shadow Step" from the "Shadow Illusion Art", and shuttled between the enemies like a ghost, stabbing out with the long sword in his hand from time to time, each sword was sharp, and each sword could force the enemy to panic.

Those henchmen originally thought they could easily defeat Fang Yue, but they didn't expect Fang Yue to be so powerful, and they were unable to resist for a while.

Zhao Xuan saw this scene from the side and became even more angry. He snorted coldly and joined the battle himself.

Zhao Xuan practiced a fierce boxing style. Every punch he threw was accompanied by a whistling sound and was extremely powerful.

After fighting with him for several rounds, Fang Yue found that although Zhao Xuan had bad behavior, his strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

However, Fang Yue was not afraid of him. He nimbly dodged Zhao Xuan's attacks while looking for the opponent's flaws.

During the fight, Fang Yue discovered that although Zhao Xuan's boxing skills were powerful, he focused too much on strength when attacking, and his lower body defense was relatively weak.

So, he seized the opportunity and used the "Shadow Breaking Wind Sword", using sword moves specifically to attack Zhao Xuan's lower body.

Zhao Xuan was startled and quickly retracted his fist to defend himself, but he was still a step too slow and was scratched on the leg by Fang Yue's sword.

Zhao Xuan felt pain and became even angrier. He ignored his injuries and attacked Fang Yue like crazy.

Fang Yue responded calmly. He used the terrain in the martial arts hall, sometimes jumping behind pillars to avoid attacks, and sometimes attacking Zhao Xuan from the side.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, a deacon elder from the martial arts hall heard the noise and rushed over.

The elder frowned upon seeing the chaotic scene before him and shouted, "Stop it! Fighting privately in the martial arts hall is disgraceful!"

Fang Yue and Zhao Xuan both stopped when they heard the elder's shout.

Zhao Xuan felt a little scared when he saw the deacon elder, but he still pointed at Fang Yue unwillingly and said:

"Elder, I don't know where this kid came from. He actually dared to disobey my orders and refused to hand over the little demon beast beside him to me. You must make the decision for me!"

The deacon elder looked at Fang Yue and the little demon beast, then looked at Zhao Xuan, and understood a little. He said to Fang Yue, "My friend, why are you unwilling to hand over the little demon beast to Mr. Zhao?"

Fang Yue bowed respectfully to the deacon elder and said, "Elder, I happened to encounter this little demon beast and treated it when I was injured. It has always been with me, like my partner. How can I hand it over to others? I hope the elder will understand."

After hearing Fang Yue's words, the deacon elder nodded slightly. He turned to Zhao Xuan and said, "Mr. Zhao, since this little demon beast is this young friend's partner, you should not force it. In this martial arts hall, you should abide by the hall rules and not rob others' things at will."

Although Zhao Xuan was reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to disobey the words of the deacon elder.

He glared at Fang Yue fiercely and said, "Hmph, you're lucky today. You have the elders backing you up. Let's see!" After that, he walked away dejectedly with a few followers.

Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He said to the deacon elder with gratitude: "Thank you for helping me out. Fang Yue is very grateful."

The deacon elder smiled and said, "Young friend, you don't have to be polite. You are very skilled and you value friendship and loyalty. You are a promising talent.

If you want to practice in this martial arts hall, you can go to the registration office behind the hall to sign up. I will arrange for someone to test you. If you pass the test, you can become a formal disciple of the martial arts hall and enjoy the training resources and guidance of the seniors in the hall. "

Fang Yue's heart was moved, and he quickly said: "Thank you, Elder. Fang Yue will definitely work hard."

Although he was not interested in the low-level martial arts in the martial arts hall, he coveted the magical skills in the martial arts hall. Fang Yue knew that if he could learn one of them, his strength would definitely make a qualitative leap, and he would be more confident when facing the mysterious man in black robe and the powerful monsters.

So Fang Yue took the little demon beast to the registration office behind the hall. Along the way, he was full of thoughts, looking forward to the test, but also worried about encountering unknown difficulties. The little demon beast seemed to feel his emotions and rubbed his hand with its head, as if to comfort him.

Arriving at the registration office, Fang Yue found that there were already many people queuing up to sign up. Most of these people were young practitioners, their eyes full of longing for the future and desire to improve their strength.

Fang Yue stood silently at the end of the line, waiting patiently.

Finally it was Fang Yue's turn. The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged monk. He asked expressionlessly, "Name, age, cultivation method, and past experience."

Fang Yue answered respectfully: "My name is Fang Yue, I am twenty-five years old, practicing ordinary martial arts, and ended up here by chance."

Fang Yue concealed the fact that he was practicing "Phantom Shadow Art". He was well aware of the uniqueness and sensitivity of this technique and did not want to expose it easily before he fully understood the details of the martial arts hall.

After recording Fang Yue's information, the middle-aged monk said, "The test will be held at the martial arts arena at noon three days later. Go back and get ready."

Fang Yue nodded in thanks, then left the registration office with the little monster.

During these three days, Fang Yue found a quiet corner and practiced according to the ordinary martial arts methods on the surface, but secretly he was pondering the subtleties of "Phantom Shadow" and studying the skills and insights he had learned in previous battles.

He also used the city's resources to buy some elixirs and materials that would help him practice, and worked hard to improve his condition. (End of this chapter)
