Quick stay at the Imperial Capital

On top of the eagle Long Yong stood there mesmerized by this feeling of flight, it felt liberating.

Not only was Long Yong feeling good from the flight, the view of nature all around them. They passed mighty mountains and rivers and Long Yong couldn't help but feel excited as he will someday definitely fly on his own.

He also managed to glance at some demonic beasts while passing some forests, prowling around searching for prey weaker than them, this couldn't help but bring a feeling of familiarity in him.

'These demonic beast hunting those weaker than them and running away in face of the strong... I can't help but see human behavior in these beast or is it the beasts behavior in humans?'

As Long Yong kept contemplating this three hours flashed by and after passing some small cities along the way, they arrived to the most beautiful one yet, even more beautiful than cloud city.

Huang Zihai ordered the eagle to get down in front of the gate where there was a long line of people trying to enter.

The deacon grabbed Long Yong and Yin shuchun and jumped off the eagle back.

"Welcome to your county's imperial city or at least the gates." Huang Zihai said before turning to the eagle.

"Go! i'll call you later to join us when we'll leave the city." the eagle followed his orders and flew away.

Long Yong and Yin shuchun followed Huang Zihai as he bypassed the line waiting for entry to the city much to the angry of those waiting.

"Hey!"

"Who do you think you are? Get to the back of the line!"

"Guards! won't you stop him?"

the people shouted at their group and even wanted the guards to stop them.

Huang Zihai looked at the crowd with disdain "Hmph! Shut up mortals!"

He sent a shock wave which knocked them back. This quickly changed their tune.

"Ah! Immortal master we apologize for our mistake!"

"Please spare us lord Immortal!"

People started begging him, he only sneered and went towards the guards with the other two in tow, Long Yong was very impressed and didn't care about the well being of those mortal peasants.

Huang Zihai showed the guards his sect emblem and was quickly let inside along with the other two.

"Listen you two, on the path of cultivation don't let people like those mortal peasents drag you down or stand in your path!" Long Yong quickly nodded but Yin shuchun was conflicted.

'I won't treat people like that, after all who knows if their is an expert nearby or there is a "Protagonist" like cultivator nearby, i definitely don't care about some mortal peasants but lying low is for the best now.'

They moved throughout the beautiful city which was well maintained without trash on the streets and the markets were kept in complete order.

They arrived at a luxurious inn, Huang Zihai lead them inside, he got a jade out of his pocket and put it into his forehead.

After a while he said "I have sent news of our arrival, the elder will come here to welcome us."

After some minutes a middle aged man came in with a smile "Hello Huang Zihai, it seems you were fortunate to get a mystic talent!"

"Hello boy i'm Han Bingwen, i'm the one responsible of recruiting from this country."

"Hello senior, i'm honored to meet you!" Long Yong greeted the elder as he stood beside Huang Zihai and Han Bingwen while they ignored Yin shuchun who had a defeated expression.

"Elder Han how was the recruiting this time?" Huang Zihai asked.

"Mhm, it was below average, in the capital we only got and earth grade talent along with five mystic grades"

"How about the other deacons who went to the other provinces?"

"Well in all the provinces other than yours we got only three mystic grades"

they didn't even discuss spiritual grade talents as they were very common especially from high ranking kingdom.

Long Yong was sent to a room to rest and Yin shuchun was sent to a room full of girls like her with spiritual grade talent, this showed that in the True Mystic sect spiritual talent wasn't anything special.

Long Yong relaxed before he was woken up by Huang Zihai to get breakfast downstairs.

After breakfast elder Han waited for a while in front of the Inn until everyone gathered and directly led them towards the southern gate.

It seems that they will be leaving today, Long Yong couldn't help but ask Huang Zihai

"Senior, how will we reach the sect? will we use eagles?"

"No, we'll take the flying ship towards the sect"

Long Yuan was stunned for a while before moving forward wanting to see the ship.

As they arrived outside the city Long Yong saw a sleek wooden ship on the ground, there were visible runes carved into the ship, seemingly connected to eachother.

The ship didn't have any sails, so this ship flying and moving around should be the work of those runes engraved in the wood. This only increased Long Yong thirst for knowledge and wanting to learn more.

The elder lead everyone into the ship.

"Everyone! feel free to sit here and don't be afraid of the wind, there are formation set up to prevent that, this journey won't take long due to the speed of the ship, so you only need to bear with this for a day maximum."

The elder lead the deacons inside the ship, probably to some rooms.

This left the fifty or so disciples looking around awkwardly before sitting down on the floor and waiting for the ship to take off.

'The ship seems to be so small they probably don't even have rooms for the mystique and earth grade talents.

According to the elder yesterday, there are eight mystic grade talent along with only one earth grade, the rest are all spiritual. I don't know anyone here and i won't be able to differentiate talents, as i don't want to make useless friendships it's better to keep to myself until the sect.'

After deciding his course of action Long Yong closed his eyes and relaxed.
