Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Whitefloat City’s Promotion, Proclaimed to All, Congratulations from the Myriad Clans
“`
City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat City.
“Prefect Gong, the conditions for the Three-Star Level Assessment are actually not difficult and mainly split into several major categories.”
Ling Luo Tian personally explained.
To this day, Ling Luo Tian had, with the full support of the Mystique Kingdom’s royal family, advanced to the Divine Origin Realm, becoming a young great power.
With his cultivation level, he already qualified to become the sovereign of the dynasty.
However, Ling Luo Tian did not wish to ascend to the throne so early and instead continued to oversee the Star-Level Forces Assessment.
The Third Prince continued to explain:
“Firstly, Whitefloat City must have a population of over fifty million, with the ratio of cultivators reaching one percent.”
“This point has already been met by Whitefloat City.”
As he said this, Ling Luo Tian felt shocked inside.
In just a year or two, the population of Whitefloat City had rapidly surged from the original one million to over fifty million, and the ratio of cultivators had reached one tenth.
This meant that if you were to randomly pick ten people on the streets of the city, at least one would be a cultivator.
Such a ratio was even higher than that of the Royal Capital.
“Second, the City Lord’s cultivation must reach at least the Divine Origin Realm. Since Prefect Gong has long been in the Divine Origin Realm, naturally, this requirement is met.”
The Third Prince continued with the assessment.
“Third, we must assess the facilities of the Whitefloat City Lord’s Mansion, such as the Scripture Pavilion, the strength of the Black Armored Guard, and the number of alchemists and artifact refiners, among other criteria.”
Gong Qingqiu looked towards his Deputy City Lord.
“This point can be verified on the spot.” The Deputy City Lord stood out and clapped his hands.
“At your service!”
The formidable Zhou Jiacai, Deputy Commander, stepped forward, his cultivation surprisingly having reached the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
His natural talent was not high.
But as one of the core figures in Whitefloat City, Zhou Jiacai and his brother Zhou Jiaqian both received strong support from the Deputy City Lord and entered the Spirit Sea Realm early on.
With Ye Feng creating a super large Spirit Vein, as members of the City Lord’s Mansion, they absorbed a great amount of Heavenly Dew, and their cultivation levels naturally exploded.
Even the overall level of the Black Armored Guard had risen.
Nowadays, every Black Armored Guard possessed Element Gathering Realm Cultivation, sufficient to maintain order in Whitefloat City.
“Not bad!”
The Third Prince and the appraisers following him all nodded in approval, feeling that the Black Armored Guard was very outstanding.
The group continued to tour the City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat City and saw the large number of alchemists, artifact refiners, and array symbol masters the mansion had recruited this year—it was truly a gathering of talents.
“This point is also met.”
The Third Prince silently nodded and continued with the appraisal.
The crowd kept visiting the City Lord’s Mansion.
The number of books in the Scripture Pavilion had increased by more than a hundredfold from before, encompassing spells from first to ninth grade.
There were even nine Divine Skills.
This point naturally met the conditions for the Three-Star Level.
“Whitefloat City has a profound foundation!” The Third Prince exclaimed, turning his gaze towards Heavenly Sword Mountain in the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, “Especially this Spirit Vein, it’s reached the super large category, which is so powerful!”
The Third Prince felt envious.
The grade of this Spirit Vein was even higher than that of the Royal Capital; if he could, he would want to move to Whitefloat City.
“Next, we will assess the entire city, which mainly involves walking around and observing the city.”
The Third Prince took the lead.
Gong Qingqiu stood with his hands folded in front and followed the assessment team with a smile on his face.
“Hey, such a handsome young man, come play!”
The group entered a street, inhaled the refreshing fragrance of flowers, and heard coquettish voices that tingled the ears.
They followed the sound and looked.
There stood a nine-story building in the shape of a 回, occupying twenty acres of ground at the side of the street.
Several women of exquisite beauty stood on the balcony of the second floor, waving pink scarves and smiling broadly.
“Jade Green Tower?”
The Third Prince saw the words on the door plaque and suddenly his eyes widened.
He had visited this Goulan before!
“Ah, esteemed guests!”
At this moment, two figures walked out side by side from Jade Green Tower and greeted the passing group of the Third Prince, Gong Qingqiu, Deputy City Lord, and others with a bow.
“`
The comers were a man and a woman.
The man was handsome and free-spirited, and the woman graceful and alluring. Together, they made a striking pair.
“It’s Xin Guangxuan and Baihua Xiao.”
The Deputy City Lord recognized the two.
In Whitefloat City, there was no one who didn’t know about Jade Green Tower, a famed Goulan with several branches. It offered entertainment without the sell of flesh, drawing many refined patrons and gaining significant renown.
Of course, this wasn’t the main reason Jade Green Tower was famous.
The most prominent claim to fame for this Goulan was its two backers, Xin Guangxuan and Baihua Xiao.
Xin Guangxuan had been a Liuyun Inner Sect Disciple and Ye Feng’s close confidant. Later, he left the Liuyun Sect and together with Jade Green Tower’s proprietor Baihua Xiao, they achieved a harmonious union and jointly managed the establishment.
In the blink of an eye.
The once-green Xin Guangxuan had now matured significantly, exuding a masculine vigor.
His cultivation level had also improved greatly, having reached the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm, and Baihua Xiao was not far behind, just at the fifth level of the same realm.
“What a coincidence, the two of you!” The Third Prince greeted the couple with a clasped handshake and a smile upon seeing them.
“Is this the assessment for Whitefloat City’s Three-Star status?” Xin Guangxuan guessed what was happening, considering everyone’s arrangement.
“Indeed,” Gong Qingqiu replied.
“Wishing everything goes smoothly!” said both Xin Guangxuan and Baihua Xiao in unison.
“Thank you for the auspicious words.”
After chatting for a while, the group left the street and continued to look around the city.
Whitefloat City had been expanded only in the past few months.
All the buildings were very new.
With the assistance of the architectural master Shi Lei and the efforts of countless cultivators, the construction had been swift, and the quality, top-notch.
Walking on the spacious granite thoroughfare.
Both sides were lined with towering trees, lush and green.
There were many pedestrians in the city.
They lived in new-style classical multi-storied buildings made of various materials like stone and wood and breathed in the dense spiritual energy. Even ordinary people could be strong and healthy, free from illnesses, and enjoy longer lives.
On everyone’s faces were smiles.
This was a city filled with hope!
“The cultural environment is even better than the Royal Capital!”
The Third Prince praised sincerely.
Where Ye Feng was, it truly wasn’t ordinary.
After a five-hour-long review, the Third Prince personally and carefully wrote “Passed Assessment” in the results section.
“Congratulations everyone, Whitefloat City has successfully advanced to a Three-Star status, and it is also the tenth Three-Star city within the bounds of Mystique Kingdom.”
As he wrote, the Third Prince offered his congratulations.
“Fantastic!”
Gong Qingqiu, the Deputy City Lord, Elder Zhou Jiaqian, Deputy Commander Zhou Jiacai, and others all clenched their fists with joy, nearly jumping up.
“Dear friends, today this prince shall proclaim the news of Whitefloat City passing the Three-Star Level Assessment to the world, and in seven days, we can hold the promotion celebration,” the Third Prince announced.
“Thank you, Third Prince.”
“It is only right, for our Mystique Kingdom takes pride in the Misty Sect and Whitefloat City!”
The Third Prince left with the appraisal team.
Following this.
The news quickly spread throughout the entire Mystique Kingdom and gradually farther, reaching South Ming Country, Great Liang Demon Nation, Leiwu Dynasty, and other places, causing a sensation.
Before long, many major forces sent their congratulations.
Atop Misty Peak.
“Ding! Congratulations, Misty Sect’s subsidiary city, Whitefloat City, has been promoted to Three-Star status. The Sect is one step closer to reaching Four-Star status. Reward: Random Lucky Bag ×1.”
The System notification sounded.
Ye Feng was slightly surprised.
He remembered that the advancement of Whitefloat City came with no rewards, yet now he had received a random Lucky Bag.
He extended his hand.
A red Lucky Bag floated above his palm, surrounded by strands of bizarre energy spirals.
“What’s this?”
Ye Feng was curious.
