Chapter 764 -764: Mysterious Thunder Resolved, Enter Wandan City (Third Update)
After the affairs of Profound Thunder City were settled, Xue An led his family once again onto the crane-and-phoenix chariot, continuing their journey towards the Central Region.
Finally, after crossing a vast expanse of continuous mountain ranges, the world before them suddenly opened up into a vast and boundless space.
Upon entering this area, Xue An immediately felt that the Spiritual Energy here was several times more abundant than in the Eastern Domain.
Even on those unnamed small mountains, Spiritual Springs gushed forth, and all sorts of strange flowers and rare herbs were found everywhere.
Rare beasts and giant birds, which might be elusive in other domains, were nothing uncommon here.
“Indeed, this is a place where outstanding people live in a spiritually rich land!” Xue An couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“Master, the vastness of the Central Region is several times that of the Eastern Domain! And the Wandan City we are heading to is in the Northwest of the Central Region, which is still several days’ journey from here!”
Xue An nodded, “Then let’s hurry on our way!”
“Yes!”
Following that, the crane-and-phoenix chariot flew towards the direction of Wandan City.
The journey was much livelier than in the outer domains.
One could see flying boats and chariots of stunning designs parading proudly across the sky above, some of which were giant Magic Artifacts thousands of feet long.
Compared to such existences, the crane-and-phoenix chariot, which appeared quite splendid outside, seemed rather inconspicuous here.
To this, Xue An was indifferent.
After all, no matter how large these boats were, could they be as awe-inspiring as those massive objects propelled by stars and steered with meteor reins?
It was merely a display of pomp and power within this small slice of heaven and earth.
On the other hand, An Yan and the two young girls were constantly excited, watching the outside scenery and exclaiming in wonder. Their unsophisticated demeanor made Xue An want to laugh and cry at the same time.
The crane-and-phoenix chariot passed over bustling ancient cities and finally arrived at Wandan City on that day.
The city was located on the top of a mountain shaped strikingly like a Pill Furnace.
Although still a thousand miles away, the grandeur and majesty of the city were already clearly visible.
And the air was even filled with the scent of medicinal herbs, indicating the prevalence of alchemy here.
“Master, this is where the headquarters of the Elixir Dao Association is located. It is known as the foremost Wandan City in the world of alchemy!” said Xiao Dan City.
Xue An nodded, “Let’s go in first!”
Soon, Xue An and his party entered the city of Wandan.
The streets were filled with vendors selling everything related to alchemy.
There were even Pill Masters who started making Elixirs right on the streets, with people waiting to buy with cash on the side.
The price for Elixirs that were not yet retrieved from the Pill Furnace was nearly half that of regular Elixirs.
But if something went wrong during the alchemy process, and one failed to obtain the Elixir or the quality was poor upon opening the furnace, then one simply had to accept the bad luck.
Put simply, it was a gamble on luck.
Nevertheless, because of the lower prices, there were still cultivators crowding around every Pill Furnace.
Seeing that Xue An was quite interested, Xiao Dan City couldn’t help but explain, “Master, this is a very popular practice here. We call it ‘betting on Elixirs.’ In essence, it’s a gamble on whether this batch of Elixirs will be successful or not!”
Betting on Elixirs…
Xue An nodded, finding the name quite apt.
“Let’s find a place to stay first!” said Xue An.
Xiao Dan City showed a wry smile, “Master, we are a bit late this time. With the Elixir Contest about to begin, Wandan City is clearly filled with guests already. Where can we find accommodation now?”
“Oh?” Xue An frowned slightly, which indeed posed a problem.
