Two days after the Extermination of the Xi family, the candidates were brought to the capital city of the southern region where they would go through the second test before heading to the imperial capital where the Emperor, his deligates, Elite disciples and sects would be waiting as well as the leaders of various sects that would select new disciples among the candidates.
Iris barely cared about anything and just wanted to pass the test so that she could visit Twilight Heaven.
The capital city of the southern region of Xuan Yuan empire was called Song city which was named after the first City Lord and also the last name of every city Lord and his decendants. The city Lord was called Song Bao.
City Lord Song Bao had three sons with the eldest son being twenty years old but a total disappointment. While the third son, being seventeen. The most powerful and highly loved son was the third son Song Lin and people already speculated that he'd be the next city Lord of the Song city. Even his elder brother went about bootlicking him just to curry favour from him. To Song Lin, his position was sure and unshakable. But Iris didn't give a thought about him but instead, her attention was focused on the second son Song Mo. Song Mo, was said to be introverted and hardly showed himself in public. On some occasions, were Song city had problems, he would step up and settle it along side his father but he'd give up the glory and rewards to his brother Song Lin. And he was just the kind of person Iris loved it dig into the most.
Two days before the journey to the Song city, Iris finally broke through in her Cultivation and now became an orange spirit expert. Everyone in winterwood knew about it because, Long Miao was so happy that she held a banquet to celebrate it. People who used to call Iris a trash because she couldn't cultivate, began to urge their own children to focus on cultivation. After the banquet, youths were barely seen in town because, their parents had forced them into seclusion. But there was a group of people who benefited from this situation and could not help but pray that Iris have more breakthroughs; they were the pharmacists in winterwood village. Because of iris's shocking breakthroughs, news got out that she frequented pharmacies to buy pills that helped her breakthrough. Although no one knew what pills it was except the pharmacists and they would certainly not spill the beans least they loose profits. People kept pumping money into pills but all neglected the key pills that led to Iris's recovery which was the body strengthening pills. They never believed that Iris would be able to bear the torment of the pill since they as adults couldn't bear it. In the end, their children's cultivation remained as slow as ever and some even began to blame their children for having bad initiate talents.
And the very cause of these ruckles was ignorant and was just thinking about the strangeness of the city Lord's sons.
Finally, the carriages carrying the candidates of winterwood village entered Song city. The moment their carriage entered, Long Chen noticed other carriages as well and asked the monitor who was also Pavilion master Fu. "Pavilion master, why are there so many carriages?" Long Chen asked curiously.
"Oh those? Those are the carriages belonging to the other three villages that makes up the southern region of Xuan Yuan empire. As for the rest, they are from various powers around" Pavilion master Fu said.
"The three villages that makes up the southern region of Xuan Yuan empire? " Long Chen asked again.
"Yes young master Long. They're the blackwood village, the mighty wood village and precious wood village" Pavilion master Fu listed.
"Why do all the villages have wood attached to their names?" Iris asked this time since she didn't have memories about this.
"Well, it's a common knowledge that the southern region is know for it's prosperous vegetations and trees. The woods from these trees are used in making carriages, furnitures and many more and they are all transported from here, the southern region" Pavilion master Fu explained patiently.
"I see" Iris replied simply. She wondered how the other regions would be and couldn't help but feel even more determined to pass the test so that she could visit those places.
