Chapter 582: Provincial City

Shen Yan brought Lin Yan and Ding Caixuan to the elevator. Shen Yan reached out and pressed a button, and a layer of spiritual pattern spread out. Not long after, the elevator door opened with a ding.
The interior design of the elevator was similar to what Lin Yan had seen in his previous life, except that there was a special handle sticking out.
After entering, Shen Yan grabbed the handle. Another layer of spiritual pattern expanded, and the elevator door closed again.
During the process, Shen Yan held the handle and continued to inject spiritual power.
“Senior Brother Lin, the concentration of the spirituality of the world is insufficient. It can’t be completely automated. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”
Lin Yan nodded thoughtfully. This elevator didn’t use electricity, but spiritual power patterns.
Lin Yan nodded. “Then how can someone without spiritual power go up and down the stairs?”
With a ding, the elevator door opened again.
The three of them walked out of the door. Shen Yan pointed. “Look, like them.”
Outside the glass window, three figures pulled a rope and jumped down from the sky!
After falling to the ground, they attached the rope back to the wall and walked out along the street.
Was it done in such a manual manner?
As the three of them walked out of the building, Lin Yan turned around.
This was a tall building with thirty to forty stories. It looked exactly like the buildings he had seen in the modern world in his previous life. They had a towering structure and a glass exterior.
The street in front of him was similar to the modern streets he had seen in his previous life. There was a lot of traffic, and people came and went. Other than the fact that there were no traffic lights, but people standing at the corners of the streets giving orders, everything was no different from his previous life.
“Electricity. It’s still electricity. Cars can only use mechanical structures. They don’t necessarily need electricity. But there’s nothing like traffic lights and cameras that require electricity here.”
“Senior Brother Lin.” Shen Yan called Lin Yan over. “Since you don’t have a place to stay, why don’t you stay at my house first?”
Lin Yan nodded. He was unfamiliar with this place and didn’t even have a single cent of local money on him. He had to follow the locals.
Shen Yan brought Lin Yan to a parking lot.
Private cars were not as rigid as trucks. They could be quite stylish. For example, the cars in front of him were extremely technological.
When they arrived at one of the cars, it was greenish-blue in color. The front was curved and the back was low. It was an extremely gorgeous car. Shen Yan reached out and pressed the car door. A spiritual pattern appeared, and the car door immediately opened. He invited Lin Yan and Ding Caixuan to sit in it.
“There are so many cars. Does everyone drive with spiritual power?”
Lin Yan asked. If that was the case, wouldn’t the Liu Planet be filled with Treasure Realm cultivators?
“No, Senior Brother Lin. People in the Treasure Realm are not so common.”
Shen Yan answered, “Most cars are spiritless cars. They need to be manually and mechanically started and can’t turn on the lights. However, there are some people who like old traditional cars.”
Lin Yan nodded. A car’s core component was the engine, which could indeed be completed with mechanical structures.
The car was on its way.
The cars that were speeding left and right made Lin Yan feel as if it had been a lifetime. It was as if he had transmigrated back to his previous world and seen the scenery of his hometown again.
However, from time to time, the figures jumping down from the tall buildings with a rope quickly brought him back to reality.
As expected of the martial arts world, the way they went up and down was so direct.
More importantly, after coming out of the building, Lin Yan sensed that there was spirituality of the world everywhere!
It was much richer than what Lin Yan had felt before. His Spiritual Image seed was already hungry and restless.
If he had not forcefully suppressed it, he would have automatically devoured and absorbed the spirituality of the world to advance to the Treasure Realm the moment he left!
“Not now, at least not in front of Shen Yan and Ding Caixuan.”
He had a vague feeling that his breakthrough would cause a huge commotion. It was best to find a secluded place or a place where he could break through professionally.
Soon, the car drove all the way to a large building complex.
“Senior Brother Lin, Junior Sister and 1 have to report to Master first. Please wait in the carriage.”
“Okay.”
The car drove through the entrance of the building complex. On the huge stone tablet at the entrance was written: “Holy White Sect.”
This modern sect looked like a university.
When he entered, the disciples coming and going were full of vigor, making Lin Yan feel a sense of familiarity. Wasn’t this the feeling of a university student being young and stupid?!
The car stopped in front of a four- or five-story building.
“Holy White Sect’s Spiritual Droplet Research Institute.”
Shen Yan and Ding Caixuan got out of the car.
“Senior Brother Lin, please wait a moment. 1’11 be right back.”
“It’s fine. I’ll take a walk nearby.”
The two of them entered the Spiritual Droplet Research Institute together.
Lin Yan walked left and right. If the Holy White Sect was like a university, would it have a library?
Or was there a library in the city?
He knew nothing about this world and urgently needed to find a place to learn about this world.
After a while, Shen Yan returned. Ding Caixuan was not with him.
“Senior Brother Lin, Junior Sister Ding has already gone home. Come with me.”
After getting into the car, Shen Yan started talking as he drove.
“There are more than a hundred countries on the Liu Planet. We are now in the Wupeng Country, one of the six permanent members. This is Qingshan City, the capital of Shanhe Province. Our Holy White Sect’s main sphere of influence is Shanhe Province.”
It was obvious that when Shen Yan mentioned the Holy White Sect, his body would subconsciously straighten up, just like Lin Yan’s classmate who graduated from a famous university in his previous life.
Some of the districts they passed by were different from what Lin Yan had imagined.
For example, there were not as many high-rise buildings as he had imagined. There were also quite a number of courtyards, villas, and bungalows.
This probably also proved that there were indeed no electric devices in this world.
Perhaps it was because they practiced martial arts that the people here had extremely high physical fitness, so the driveway was very wide and the speed of the cars was extremely fast, causing the entire area of the city to be far larger than the provincial capital in his previous life.
On the other hand, there were no Treasure Realm cultivators flying around in the sky. Shen Yan said that the Wupeng Country had strict airspace regulations. If one wanted to fly in the sky, they had to apply for a flying license. This thing was very difficult to obtain. It would be better if they were in some remote places where the regulations were not strict, but basically no one took advantage of the loopholes in the provincial capital of the Shanhe Province.
Soon, the car drove to a large courtyard. An iron gate surrounded the villa inside. At the door was written: “Shen Residence.”
“We’re here.”
Shen Yan passed by the gate and the entrance of the special underground garage. He parked the car and brought Lin Yan up the stairs.
“Young Master!”
As soon as he came upstairs, someone called out.
An old man ran over respectfully with a worried expression.. “Young Master, you’re finally back! Something big has happened!”
