One Year in the Inner City

Shen Xiang has enemies, and to enter the inner city one needs to join the army. If the time comes to go to war, and Shen Xiang is also in the army, it will be very easy for the enemy to attack him!

"It's okay. I've asked around. If an alchemist goes in, he doesn't have to go out and fight, and he will get the best protection, right?" Shen Xiang said.

"You are also an alchemist?" Yan Guang laughed, "I really can't tell! Alchemists shouldn't be as troublesome as you are."

"Hehe, let's have a drink together next time we have a chance. I'll go to the inner city first." Shen Xiang waved to Yan Guang, then turned and walked towards the inner city.

You don't need to pay jade money when entering the inner city. As long as you pass one of their instrument tests and prove that you are at the third level of Daodan Realm, you can enter.

After passing the test, Shen Xiang was at the third level of Dao Dan Realm and was able to enter the inner city. He was also given a jade token, allowing him to enter and leave freely in the future.

After entering, Shen Xiang also got a booklet, which contained the rules to be followed in the inner city. It can be seen that the rules in the inner city are much stricter than those outside. At least he is safe and does not have to worry about the Undead Gods coming in to cause trouble.

After seeing the contents in the booklet, Shen Xiang understood a lot more about the rules of this inner city.

"You still have one year to arrange your time after coming in. You will have to join the army after one year. If you don't want to, you have to leave the inner city, and you can't enter the inner city again within a thousand years." Shen Xiang felt that this was not bad. One year could allow him to take care of many things.

"It only takes three years to join the army!" Shen Xiang put away the booklet and wandered around. There were quite a few people in the inner city, and many of them looked murderous. You could tell at a glance that they were people who had been tempered on the battlefield.

Shen Xiang now has a lot of jade money, but he has inquired about it. Even if he has a lot of jade money, he still has to join the army. This is a very strict rule. No one is an exception, even if they have a very noble status.

"There is still a year left. I should take this time to practice hard and try to improve my strength. I will decide whether to join the army here after a year." Shen Xiang found a good inn. There were places for practicing martial arts and so on. It was pretty good, and the price was very cheap.

He and Chu Hongqing are now refining the Qingyuan Pill faster and faster. Chu Hongqing will occasionally take some to practice. Chu Hongqing is only at the Daodan realm now.

With the help of the Divine Spring of Creation, they can grow a large amount of medicinal herbs needed for the Qingyuan Pill, so their Qingyuan Pill is inexhaustible.

With the help of a large amount of Qingyuan Pills, Shen Xiang broke through one level almost every three months. After a year, he was now at the seventh level of Daodan Realm, much stronger than before.

If it were someone else, it would definitely not be as fast as him to break through. The fastest would take several years, and some would even take hundreds of years! He could be so fast because he had a lot of Qingyuan Pills. Even if he was very rich, it would be useless if he didn't have the right pills to eat.

Shen Xiang walked out of the inn and headed towards a tall building. His jade token had vibrated several times before, reminding him to report and join the army.

When he arrived at the tall building, he saw several people waiting there to register.

A year passed very quickly for Shen Xiang, especially when he was in seclusion practicing.

"A year has passed. I wonder what happened to those guys from the Undead God Clan!" Shen Xiang recalled how he angered those people at the city gate a year ago. It seemed like it happened just yesterday.

"You don't have to worry about anything in here. Those guys don't dare to come in!" Chu Hongqing said. Her cultivation level has also improved a lot. She is already at the tenth level of Daodan Realm and is ready to impact Daopo Realm. This is also thanks to Qingyuan Dan.

At this time, a middle-aged man in white came out. It was the city lord Yan Guang!

After he saw Shen Xiang, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "I thought you had already left the inner city, I didn't expect you to have been here all the time!"

"I'm not a coward!" Shen Xiang laughed and said, "City Lord, you are really troublesome. I will let you be responsible for this kind of thing!"

Yan Guang smiled bitterly and said, "I have been deposed as the city lord, so I can only do this kind of thing. Those guys are all in the outer city now, they didn't come in."

Yan Guang started to help a few other people register.

"Why don't they come in?" Shen Xiang asked.

"Most of them are deserters here. They all joined the army back then, but ran away before their time was up. So if they want to enter the inner city, they have to wait more than 10,000 years. As for the others who have never entered the inner city, because their current cultivation base is very high, once they enter the inner city, they have to join the army immediately and have to serve for ten years."

Shen Xiang didn't know about these things. When he came in, the booklet only mentioned the rules related to his cultivation.

"Senior, I am an alchemist and can refine middle-grade king-level pills. Do I need to go to the battlefield?" Shen Xiang asked.

"If you can really refine it, then this is not necessary. If you perform well, you will be rewarded!" Yan Guang said, "I will help you register now. When the time comes, you can take the test. If you pass, it will be easier."

Shen Xiang nodded, then took the jade token handed over by Yan Guang. Yan Guang had nothing to do at this time, so he took him to the alchemy test.

"Old Lu, someone is here to test you, why are you still sleeping?" Yan Guang brought Shen Xiang to a yard behind the building, knocked on the door and shouted.

"Come in! I'm so busy, how can I have time to sleep?" An old man's voice came from inside.

Yan Guang opened the door and took Shen Xiang in.

After entering, Shen Xiang immediately smelled the fragrance of medicine, someone was refining medicine.

"Are you refining the Daohen Pill?" Shen Xiang asked. Inside the yard, an old man was refining a pill.

"Yes, we are in urgent need of a large amount of Daohen Pills!" The old man nodded: "How did you know?"

"I can smell it!" Shen Xiang was a little confused: "Isn't Daohen Pill eaten by Dao Ti Realm? Everyone who enters here is at the third level of Dao Dan Realm, why do they need Daohen Pill?"

"I can tell at a glance that you have just come in! If the baby was born in the inner city, there would be no restrictions. There are many Dao Body Realm kids who need to quickly cultivate Dao Marks." The old man said, "Then we will need a large number of Dao Dan Realm pills. The war is about to start, and each of us alchemists has a heavy burden."

"Old Lu, this kid said he knows how to refine the Qingyuan Pill and wants you to test it." Yan Guang said with a smile.

"If he can refine the Daohen Pill, he will pass. The inner city is in need of alchemists now. These are medicinal materials. You should have an alchemy furnace. No matter how he refines it, I will consider you passed." Old Lu said.
