Because this fellow is really special! His strength, his reactions, his appearance, all seem very unique!

Soon, the carriage was nearing the city gates of Nan Zhou City!

And those dressed in black naturally didn’t dare to follow.

However, Ye Luo couldn’t help but be stunned looking at Nan Zhou City!

A gigantic city wall rising a hundred meters high! At the top of the city wall, one could vaguely see some patrolling guards!

The city gate was divided into several parts, at this moment, Ye Luo and his companions were at the ground level gate, naturally, the one most people entered through. Above their heads, there were several other gates, with the top three gates closed and not in use!

In the next three gates down, there was a sparse flow of people, but it was evident that only those who could fly with their qi were allowed passage!

In the following three gates, only those dressed extraordinarily had the qualifications to pass through!

As for the bottommost, there were five gates in total, the entering crowd was just ordinary people like those of the Nalan family!

"Hey, Ye Luo, what are you looking at?"

Nalan Chen and Ye Luo had already exchanged names, so at this moment, Nalan Chen naturally called out Ye Luo’s name directly!

"Oh, nothing much, just wondering why there are so many gates!"

"Gates? Don’t you have fourteen Celestial Gates where you are from?"

Nalan Chen looked at Ye Luo somewhat puzzled!

Ye Luo thought to himself, on Earth, let alone Celestial Gates, even a hundred-meter-high city wall is unheard of, who knows what the deal is with this bizarre place.

However, although he thought this way, Ye Luo humbly said: "Cough cough, where I come from is just a small mountain village, this is my first time coming to a city!"

"So that’s why you are so surprised. The fourteen Celestial Gates are a decree set by our Emperor, each city has the same, the top three gates are known as the Imperial Gates, only members of the Imperial Family can use them, and of course, they are closed most of the time!"

"Next are the Heaven Gates! Only those with ranks of sixth class and above can pass through there! Then come the Earth Sect gates, typically those with third class ranks and above can pass through there! As for these five bottom gates, they’re just ordinary gates, anyone can pass through freely!"

All these distinctions?

Ye Luo was slightly stunned. It seemed that the rules of the Martial Realm were much more complex than on Earth, with even entering a city having so many regulations!

"But, Manager, why are our city walls built so high and sturdy? Could it be that we have some enemies?"

Ye Luo looked around the scenery while casually asking.

But upon hearing this, Nalan Chen looked at him as if he were an idiot!

"Kid, I really wonder where you’ve been living to ask such a stupid question, forget it, today I’m not going to explain, a matter even a three-year-old child knows, you should find out by yourself later!"

Nalan Chen’s words left Ye Luo slightly stunned; yet, if it were about understanding the Martial Realm, Ye Luo indeed knew less than a three-year-old child!

The caravan soon arrived at the Nalan family’s residence, it seemed that buildings in the Martial Realm were generally quite large and occupied a wide area.

The Nalan family residence was a large siheyuan, but what was special about this siheyuan was that it was constructed from the architecture of the Great Xia.

The young lady of the Nalan family got off the carriage and went straight into the residence, leaving only Nalan Chen explaining the situation to Ye Luo.

"Alright, Ye Luo, from now on you’ll be a servant at my Nalan family. I’ll tell you about our situation first. Our Nalan family is the top Artifact Refining and construction firm in Nan Zhou City. As you’ve seen, our young lady’s temperament isn’t so easy to please, so be careful not to upset her."

"As for you being a servant, you receive a monthly allowance of five hundred Copper Coins. Our Nalan family operates a three-shift work system, you can ask your supervisor for the specific arrangements, and then you can exchange some appropriate cultivation resources based on your contributions to the family, of course, you can also choose not to exchange."

"In our Nalan family, after working for ten years or making special contributions, the family will sponsor you to build a house, so you won’t have to worry about getting a wife in the future! So, do you have any more questions?"

After hearing Nalan Chen’s words, Ye Luo was quite shocked internally; the welfare and treatment in the Nalan family was really quite good and a lot different from what Ye Luo had imagined.

However, in Ye Luo’s mind, the Nalan family was merely a temporary place to stay, he couldn’t possibly just keep staying with the Nalan family!

Because Ye Luo still had his mission to accomplish, the Hall Master of the Corpse King Palace died to help Ye Luo, it definitely wasn’t for Ye Luo to enjoy an easy life!

Besides, there were still so many people waiting back on Earth, so Ye Luo couldn’t just settle down comfortably!

"Manager, I have a question that I don’t understand, please enlighten me!"

"Oh, what is it?"

In Nalan Chen’s mind, Ye Luo was a bit simple-minded, and whatever question he raised would probably not have any depth!

But this time the question Ye Luo asked was indeed somewhat startling to Nalan Chen.

"Manager Nalan, what I want to ask is, how can one obtain Cultivation Techniques?"

"Cultivation Method? It seems you’ve also realized your own inadequacies; indeed, having brute strength alone cannot make you a strong fighter! Actually, there are essentially three ways to obtain Cultivation Methods in the Great Tang Empire!"

"The first, are the various academies established by the Imperial Family, from village schools, provincial schools, even to the highest academy. It can be said that each of these academies hold free Cultivation Techniques for learning, and as your strength advances, you might even obtain some special techniques from the Imperial Family! This way is indeed the main source for most people in the Great Tang Empire to obtain Cultivation Methods!"

"The second is possessing the Cultivation Techniques held by various powerful families and Sect groups. It can be said that whether it’s a family or a Sect group, they value their methods highly, rarely allowing them to be known outside. But undeniably, their Cultivation Techniques are both intricate and precise!"

"Of course, besides these two methods, there’s another way to acquire Cultivation Techniques which might suit you!"

Upon hearing Nalan Chen’s words, Ye Luo subconsciously asked: "Oh, what is it?"

Nalan Chen gave a slight smile, then said: "Virtual Battles!"

"Virtual Battles? What’s that?"

Ye Luo was slightly startled; this seemed a bit too sudden!

"What are Virtual Battles?"

Ye Luo asked.
