Chapter 643: Chapter 643: The Citizens of Southern Desolate City

Lin Yi and the four people following behind him made their way towards the central area of Southern Desolate City.

In the central square of Southern Desolate City, a multitude of people gathered. These people were the citizens of Southern Desolate City, all congregated here to watch various contests and engage in friendly sparring and exchanges.

“Southern Desolate City, I came here to participate in the martial arts tournament, but I haven’t entered the top hundred yet, so I don’t have the qualifications to participate for the time being,”

“I’ve heard about that. It’s said that the purpose of this martial arts tournament is to select the top ten individuals to receive rewards,”

“The top ten individuals will be able to go to Central Region City to comprehend inheritances!”

“Indeed, inheritances are something countless cultivators dream of obtaining. Anyone with a bit of aptitude wishes to gain some inheritance. It’s just a pity they lack any aptitude and can’t enter the heart of the martial arts tournament. Otherwise, they definitely could gain greater benefits!”

There was a buzz of discussions among the crowd.

Having heard their conversations, Lin Yi also became aware of their identities. It turned out that many among these citizens had come to participate in the martial arts tournament but failed to enter the top one hundred and also missed the chance to receive an inheritance, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

Lin Yi glanced at the citizens and an idea formed in his mind.

He was just about to go out to find some Spirit Grass and Immortal Flowers to help these citizens improve their cultivation and enhance their strength when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his mind, the merchant he once traded Soul Pills with, named Li Dahai.

“Li Dahai, you’re here!”

Seeing the merchant, Lin Yi’s mood lifted greatly. He hurriedly called over to Li Dahai and asked, “What brings you here?”

“Hehe, Young Master Lin, you’ve finally returned. I’ve been waiting here for you for a long time. I heard that you were going to participate in the martial arts tournament, so I specifically came to watch,”

Li Dahai said with a chuckle, displaying great enthusiasm.

“What is the martial arts tournament?”

Lin Yi looked at Li Dahai with confusion, not understanding what the martial arts tournament was.

“Young Master Lin, are you still not aware?”

“I really don’t know. What exactly is this martial arts tournament? I heard it’s somewhat like a grand feast, offering considerable benefits,”

“Young Master Lin is indeed well-informed. This martial arts tournament is a grand event held by our Southern Desolate City, occurring once every five years. With each edition, there are many outstanding disciples who are attracted here, and numerous treasures that they collect, leaving only the final victors,”

“So it is. I heard that each edition’s champion receives an Immortal Fruit and a hefty reward,”

“Indeed, Young Master Lin is truly blessed to have such generous rewards within reach,”

Li Dahai said, thumping his chest with pride.

“Immortal Fruit? What exactly is that fruit like?”

Lin Yi asked with interest, his curiosity piqued about the Immortal Fruit.

“Young Master Lin, you might not know, but the Immortal Fruit is an extremely rare type of Spirit Fruit, grown in the Immortal Realm. It can help people rapidly improve their cultivation. Due to its rarity, it’s even more precious. Furthermore, the denizens of the Immortal Realm enjoy consuming Spirit Fruits, as it allows them to quickly enhance their cultivation,”

Li Dahai explained, his tone tinged with a hint of envy.

“Then, what color is this Immortal Fruit exactly?”

Lin Yi continued to ask.

“It’s a yellow fruit, named Yellow Lotus Immortal Fruit,”

“Yellow Lotus? A yellow Immortal Fruit… somehow that feels a bit odd to me,”

Lin Yi touched his nose, murmuring to himself.

Even though he wasn’t very familiar with Spirit Grass, the name of this Immortal Fruit was still new to him.

“This Immortal Fruit is borne of the Golden Tree, hence its name, the Yellow Lotus Immortal Fruit, but the Golden Tree has been dead for tens of thousands of years now, leaving behind only Golden Tree Leaves and a withered branch, how could it still bear Yellow Lotus?”

Li Dahai shook his head and smiled bitterly, not very confident about the Yellow Lotus Immortal Fruit.

Lin Yi nodded his head, he didn’t take the Yellow Lotus Immortal Fruit too seriously, because in Lin Yi’s eyes, this Yellow Lotus Immortal Fruit was just an ordinary Immortal Elixir.

“Young Master Lin, are you here to participate in the martial arts tournament?”

Li Dahai suddenly asked.

“Yes, I am here for the martial arts tournament, but I have not yet entered the top ten ranks.”

“Then, Young Master Lin must be careful. In the martial arts tournament, there are some monstrously talented individuals who can easily defeat cultivators at the peak of the Martial Venerable realm.”

Li Dahai warned, speaking sincerely and with great concern for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded, indicating he understood.

“Young Master Lin, do you have any plans?”

“This, I am aiming to secure a spot in the top ten so I can see if I can enter Central Region City to comprehend the legacy. This way, I can rapidly improve my strength and then I will be able to participate in the martial arts tournament, which will also be a way to earn some resources for myself.”

Lin Yi spoke, his eyes flickering as he pondered.

His main reason for participating in the martial arts tournament was to rapidly improve his strength and strive to comprehend the legacy left behind in Central Region City by the Sword Saint as soon as possible. By doing so, he would have more aces up his sleeve and be able to gain a foothold within Central Region City.

Lin Yi’s words brightened Li Dahai’s eyes, and his attitude towards Lin Yi changed greatly. He quickly said, “Since you have this intention, Young Master Lin, let me arrange it for you. I will take you to see the martial arts tournament now, and you can take a seat in the spectator stands for the time being!”

“That would trouble you, Steward Li!”

Lin Yi expressed his thanks, and then he walked over to the spectator stands to start watching the martial arts tournament.

Li Dahai settled Lin Yi in the spectator stands before he immediately left to take care of the arrangements for the martial arts tournament.

“Lin Yi, you’ve finally come back, I was worried to death about you.”

Just then, a familiar voice rang in Lin Yi’s ear. Turning his head to look, he saw a familiar silhouette—it was Li Dahai.

“Uncle Li, I’m fine, you needn’t worry.”

Lin Yi said with a smile. Seeing Li Dahai, he was very happy; after so many days without seeing him, Lin Yi had missed Li Dahai as well.

“By the way, Uncle Li, did you just mention the martial arts tournament? Is there something special about this tournament?”

Lin Yi inquired.

“Mm! Lin Yi, let me tell you something important, but you must not get too excited after hearing it!”

Li Dahai looked around, lowered his voice, and said to Lin Yi.

“What’s so important? Just speak frankly, don’t be so nervous.”

Lin Yi said with a laugh, thinking to himself that the martial arts tournament must indeed be unusual.

Li Dahai took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said to Lin Yi, “I heard that this martial arts tournament is held only once every twenty years, and each time, it selects a group of top talents. In the end, it decides who will achieve the top three ranks of the tournament and win that reward.”

“That impressive? Then I do want to see it for myself.”

Lin Yi was astonished and became even more curious about the martial arts tournament.

“I’ve heard that the rules of the martial arts tournament are extremely strict. Once you fail a challenge, you will be disqualified from competing, and you might even be subjected to punishment. Have you considered not participating in the martial arts tournament?”

Li Dahai advised.
