Chapter 32 - Ancient Dragon City
Qin Yi did not go directly to the martial arts ground to practice archery but instead returned to his cave.
Last night, he spent his time creating the unfinished lake in the Mystical Garden and occasionally went out to check on the situation of the Hundred Flowers Garden.
Therefore he did not have time to sleep.
By returning to his cave, he could at least sleep for a few hours before going to practice at the martial arts ground.
However, out of his expectation, Qin Yi saw a person leaning against the entrance of his cave.
That person is none other than Gao Peng.
He tilted his head in puzzlement, 'At this hour, what is he doing there?'
Qin Yi walked up to him and asked, "Brother Gao, what are you doing in front of my cave?"
Gao Peng's eyes lifted upon seeing the owner of this cave. He called out to him enthusiastically: "My Little Brother Qin, you are finally here. How long do you think I will wait for you here?"
"Not more than five minutes?" Qin Yi answered him carelessly.
"Cough"
Gao Peng coughed purposefully.
He wondered how this kid could guess that he was only waiting here for no more than five minutes- no, he had just arrived here, in fact.
"Forget it. I'm here actually wants to take you to a good place?"
"A good place? But I haven't had a good night's sleep- huah~."
Having said that, Qin Yi yawned slightly and covered it with his right hand.
"Sleep?" Gao Peng rolled his eyes as he listened and declared, "We, Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, can last three days and three nights without sleep. And here, you're making a fuss for not getting a night's sleep?"
Qin Yi choked by his words, what do you mean by me making a fuss?
I dug all night, and obviously, I need rest more than anyone!
He naturally couldn't say it out loud; he just sighed and said helplessly: "I'm really sleepy~."
Gao Peng noticed dark circles under Qin Yi's eyes, and his face also looked exhausted as if he had done something inexplicable all night.
What had he been doing all night at Spirit Flower Peak?
Wasn't he just tending a garden?
Seeing Qin Yi's dispassionate like this, Gao Peng also couldn't bear to force him.
"Well, originally, I wanted to take you to the market in Ancient Dragon City, but since you don't want to, then I'll just take someone else."
He said in a sigh and pity.
But he didn't realize that Qin Yi's ears throbbed when he heard the words "city" and "market" from his mouth.
City?
Markets?
Isn't that a place full of people?
"I'll be going then...."
Just as Gao Peng was about to leave, Qin Yi stopped him suddenly.
"Brother Gao, can you wait here for a moment?"
"?"
Without waiting for Gao Peng's response, he went straight into his cave.
Not long after, Qin Yi came out again, but this time his face was full of spirit and radiant, unlike before that he looked exhausted to death.
Gao Peng's eyes twitched slightly.
What was exactly he doing in the cave? Did he just change faces?
The answer was simple; Qin Yi only consumed a Rank 2 Energy Restoration Pill.
Even though the pills he got usually contained some impurities, it wouldn't be a problem if he only took them a little.
If, at any chance, there are too many impurities accumulate in his body, he can perform the extreme extraction on himself and extract those impurities.
Although a Rank 2 Energy Restoration Pill contained more impurities than a Rank 1 Energy Restoration Pill, its effect in restoring energy and stamina was far more potent than a Rank 1 Energy Restoration Pill.
It was only natural that Qin Yi could recover in such a short time, especially if his only ailment were lack of sleep.
If Gao Peng found out that Qin Yi consumed a Rank 2 Energy Restoration Pill just to cure sleep deprivation, he would definitely vomit blood on the spot.
Rank 1 pills alone were precious for a poor disciple like him, let alone Rank 2 pills.
Yet, this brat uses Rank 2 for just a minor ailment?
Outrageous!
"Come on, Brother Gao!"
Qin Yi enthusiastically called out to Gao Peng from the front.
Gao Peng speechlessly said, "I clearly remember that you said sleepy..."
"What are you saying, Brother Gao? We, Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, can last three days and three nights without sleep. And here, you're making a fuss for a bit of drowsiness? Come on~."
Qin Yi gave a "Are you kidding me?" face to Gao Peng.
Gao Peng gawked as he stared blankly at Qin Yi, who is already walking ahead of him.
"Isn't that what I said earlier?"
***
Ancient Dragon City was one of the cities under the jurisdiction of the Sleeping Dragon Sect. This city is also the only oldest city under the jurisdiction of the sect that still survives to this day.
Originally there were three major cities under the jurisdiction of the Sleeping Dragon Sect, one of which was Ancient Dragon City, and the other two were Raising Dragon City and Cloud Shrouding City.
However, Raising Dragon City was destroyed by a horde of magical beasts that occurred five thousand years ago. In comparison, Cloud Shrouding City was also destroyed during the great war that happened a thousand years ago.
The Sleeping Dragon Sect had always wanted to recover those two cities, but they simply didn't have the energy to do so, adding that the sects' trend had been steadily declining since the war a thousand years ago.
Currently, the Raising Dragon City is occupied by high-rank magical beasts. Even if the sect wanted to take it back, they would have to deal with the magical beasts.
——And the price for doing that was too great for the current sect.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Shrouding City had been completely destroyed to the point it was unrecognizable. Even its land had sunk into a massive and bottomless pit like an abyss pit.
Thus, this city was currently known as the Abyssal Burial Ground because it had buried countless top-tier cultivators during the great war.
Ancient Dragon City was located right below the Sleeping Dragon Mountain, and it was very close to the sect headquarters.
It's no wonder that this city can still survive even though the other two major cities have been buried in history.
It only took half an hour for Qin Yi and Gao Peng to arrive in this city.
Today was Qin Yi's first day going out; after more than two and a half years, he was stuck in the sect.
Truthfully, this was not the first time he had arrived at Ancient Dragon City. However, back then, he was still mortal and didn't know anything about cultivators; he wasn't even aware that there were cultivators here.
Now looking back, Qin Yi was a little amused by his ignorance at the time.
At that time, to reach the location referred to in the letter he received from the mysterious man, he went to a certain city guard and confessed his problem.
However, he didn't expect that the guard he was talking to was one of the disciples of the Sleeping Dragon Sect, and it was from then that he learned about the existence of cultivators and the Sleeping Dragon Sect.
That is a very long story.
He experienced ups and downs from his hometown to this city, until finally, he was accepted as a novice disciple of the Sleeping Dragon Sect.
Qin Yi looked up at the Ancient Dragon City's towering gate that formed two crisscrossing dragons, and he couldn't help but sigh in a mixed feeling.
'I wonder if that senior brother is still here?'
At that time, he only thought that the benevolent guard who escorted him to the sect was an ordinary sect disciple. But now, he thought again that the guard was wearing a purple robe, which was the color of an inner sect disciple's robe.
Ancient Dragon City was the largest city under sect control, and it was only natural that its guards were Foundation Establishment disciples from the inner sects.
Moreover, that senior brother he met at that time seemed to be just an ordinary guard. There is a high chance that this city's true guardian is a higher-level cultivator like the sect's elder.
Qin Yi smiled wryly, 'Even if that senior brother is still there, he might not be able to remember me, a mortal that he escorted many years ago.'
