An Shitong is in charge of all affairs in Liufeng City, and with the coordination and assistance from the prominent families, An Shitong does not have to personally handle everything. The Liu Family and the other three families dare not play any tricks, and are earnest in their tasks.
The City Lord’s Mansion of Liufeng City has been successfully established with the full support of the four major families, and paired with the might of An Shitong’s Golden Core, the people’s support is secured, and no one dares to defy. To the eyes of the people in Liufeng City, a person in the Golden Core Realm is akin to an Immortal, and they hold imnse reverence and admiration.
In a small place like Liufeng City, a Golden Core Realm individual is rare, and every appearance of such a person becos a sensational event, worshipped by the masses.
An Shitong’s reputation was already significant, but now it soars even higher. His becoming the City Lord of Liufeng City is naturally supported and welcod by all, with no opposition from anyone.
Furthermore, An Shitong has spread the word that his master is a powerful Immortal. Of course, this ssage was endorsed by Tangyu. Using public opinion manipulation, a common thod on Earth, Tangyu’s strategy is evidently very effective. With this information backing them, the cohesion of the City Lord’s Mansion is frighteningly strong.
Not only in Liufeng City, but so outstanding cultivators from other cities have also co to pledge allegiance.
The formation of the City Guard Army proceeded smoothly, with many disciples from the four major families joining. In addition, by integrating all forces within Liufeng City and requisitioning so capable personnel to join the City Guard Army, no one dared to object. More so, many joined out of passionate fervor. Hence, within a short span, the City Guard Army expanded to a size of five thousand, comprising cultivators of decent strength, at least in the latter stages of Foundation Establishnt.
To ordinary people, those in the late stages of Foundation Establishnt can single-handedly fight against hundreds.
Simultaneously, all preparations for Liufeng Academy were completed, and the academy was built, with extensive announcents to publicize the establishnt of Liufeng Academy, actively recruiting disciples. This subtle advertising is naturally orchestrated by Tangyu, for soone like Tangyu, who lived on Earth, bombarded with countless advertisents daily, crafting a compelling, enticing advertisent is a trivial matter.
Of course, although so enticing elents were added, many aspects are indeed true. For instance, a powerful Immortal will personally guide students, possibly accepting disciples, which is precisely Tangyu’s intention. There will also be various advanced cultivation techniques, treasures, and even pills available for training, which is indeed true. Overall, the appeal of Liufeng Academy is the setting of Immortals and ample resources.
These attractions, coupled with the current prestige of Liufeng City, naturally make it extrely appealing.
Currently, in Liufeng City, Tangyu is revered as an Immortal, and apart from a few close to him, everyone respectfully addresses him as an Immortal upon seeing him.
Tangyu does not bother to respond and allows them to continue. They can call it as they wish; it inadvertently acts as free advertising, polishing his brand.
In the following month, besides occasionally guiding An Miaoke and the other two on their cultivation, Tangyu personally crafted bows and arrows. However, Tangyu didn’t rely craft bows and arrows; instead, he assimilated the crossbow and even emulated the Soul Destroying Sniper, creating a Soul Destroying Sniper of substantial power. Although it cannot compare to those Tangyu carries, it is potent enough to threaten Golden Core Realm individuals.
Tangyu equipped each of the four, including An Shitong, with one.
Under Tangyu’s guidance, An Miaoke and the other two progressed rapidly, each breaking through to the Golden Core Realm Second Layer in a month. Of course, such rapid advancent is credited to Tangyu’s contributions. In terms of cultivation techniques, Tangyu diligently coached them, allowing the trio to leap levels to defeat enemies. With a body full of treasures, they could at least slay a Golden Core Realm Third Layer opponent, which is considered very formidable in this area.
Although An Shitong is busy, his talent is the strongest among the four and, with Tangyu’s extensive nurturing, he progresses the fastest.
He is also in the Golden Core Realm Second Layer, though his cultivation technique is superior to An Miaoke and the other two, especially since An Shitong has a remarkable understanding of Pangu Nine Axes, even mastering the first axe, granting him the capability to challenge soone in the Golden Core Realm Fourth Layer.
Watching An Miaoke and the other two seriously cultivating, Tangyu casually sits there, sipping wine and slightly pouting: "After over a month of hard work, the harvest is decent. However, the cost I paid was substantial. This task was entirely random, and I had no preparations. This expenditure left almost without anything of value, practically impoverished. The resources in this world are exceedingly scarce."
"Over a month in, the progress is still too slow. Completing this trial in three years would be considered fast. It baffles what kind of gas the Supre and the entities behind Red Dust Palace are playing; it seems entirely pointless, just toying with people. But speaking of it, the only benefit is that while we’re engaging in this trial, the cultivation world should remain peaceful temporarily. Using us to gain a few years of peace can be seen as a contribution."
"Tangyu, Tangyu, how did I perform with that swordsmanship just now?" An Miaoke excitedly ran over, sticking to Tangyu without any reserve, her body pressing against his.
In the entire Liufeng City, only An Miaoke dares to call Tangyu by na and cling to him like this. Over the past month, Tangyu has beco accustod to it. Towards An Miaoke, Tangyu is relatively lenient, but that’s also attributed to An Miaoke’s personality.
How to describe this character? Tangyu found a shadow of Zhao Yaya in An Miaoke; in terms of personality, the two indeed have many similarities.
"Okay." Tangyu nodded.
An Miaoke pouted and said, "Hmph, you didn’t even look, how can you say okay? That’s too irresponsible. Practicing this swordsmanship is too boring, won’t you teach us an impressive spell? Sothing like the 36 Transformations, or the Flight Technique, or maybe the Shield Earth Technique? The Clone Technique would do, too. Teach one. I’m so smart and clever, I’m sure I can learn it."
This wasn’t the first ti An Miaoke said such words.
Tangyu was too lazy to respond anymore; he wanted to learn as well.
"Stingy, truly stingy, I’ve been pestering you for a month, and you still won’t teach , not cool at all." An Miaoke pouted again, and Tangyu was sowhat amused by this little girl. Only An Miaoke dared to speak to him like this. Others were always extrely cautious and flattering in Tangyu’s presence. Only An Miaoke dared to be this casual.
An Shitong suddenly walked over, quickly arriving in front of Tangyu: "Master, after three rounds of assessnts, out of the more than three thousand people who signed up this ti, a hundred have been selected. Master, will you personally oversee this final round of testing?"
Tangyu slapped his butt as he stood up: "I’ll do it."
This test was originally designed by Tangyu to select geniuses worthy of cultivating. Tangyu didn’t expect that more than a hundred people would make it to the final round.
This was the first ti Liufeng Academy recruited disciples, so the scale wasn’t large. Tangyu’s original plan was to recruit only about fifty disciples for focused cultivation. Due to limited resources, they couldn’t recruit disciples on a large scale. For the ti being, they were following an absolute elite path—not being an absolute elite wouldn’t catch Tangyu’s eye.
"I want to watch too." An Miaoke imdiately followed along.
The three of them left An’s Mansion and flew straight towards Liufeng Academy. At the Golden Core Realm, one could travel through the air. Naturally, the three of them traveled by air.
At this mont, over a hundred youths around twenty years old stood neatly on the massive square of Liufeng Academy, waiting for the final round of testing. They were all talented individuals attracted by immortals and bountiful cultivation resources. In fact, many ca from other cities. They were very much looking forward to this final test because it was administered by the legendary immortal himself.
Rumors of an immortal in Liufeng City had already spread across a thousand miles, and similar tales circulated in dozens of surrounding cities, with details so vivid and certain. Many ca from afar to Liufeng City seeking confirmation. And the answers they received were affirmative. Thus, the talk of an immortal was spread with awe and reverence within a thousand miles.
Since its establishnt, Liufeng Academy hadn’t enrolled many disciples due to its recent founding. An Shitong naturally served as the academy’s principal, while Tangyu arranged for his father and two uncles to manage all affairs of Liufeng Academy.
Tangyu modeled the academy after the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and created several cultivation areas in Liufeng Academy, personally arranging nurous formations. He also established a Technique Hall and a Weapon Hall, placing many cultivation techniques and treasures within them, forming the foundation of Liufeng Academy.
"Look, the Immortal has arrived!"
As soon as Tangyu and the other two arrived, the gazes of all the hundred plus on the square turned to them in unison. Being able to travel through the air was a symbol of the Golden Core Realm. Reaching the Golden Core Realm was sothing they all envied greatly.
When Tangyu and the other two landed, the crowd curiously examined Tangyu and An Miaoke, primarily because both appeared so young. To be so young and achieve the ability to travel through the air and reach the Golden Core Realm made everyone believe in Tangyu’s identity as an immortal a little more. Excitent surged in their hearts, and they all felt that they had indeed co to the right place in Liufeng City.
If they truly had the chance to beco disciples under an immortal, it would indeed be a monuntal gain.
All their eyes radiated intense yearning, each one focused on Tangyu. That gaze resembled animals in mating season eyeing their opposite-sex partners.
"Greetings, Immortal!" Suddenly, a chorus of voices echoed. Unanimously, these hundred plus people showed respect to Tangyu, as Tangyu had casually released a trace of Immortal Might. A hint of Immortal Might naturally compelled them into respect and admiration.
