Li Bufan, Li Qingjin, Luo Yushuang, Dong Qingyi, Gu Nianyun, Zhao Qingwu, Lin Lanyan, Zhuge Kaiming, and others gathered with Zhou Yan. They chatted for a while.
"This time, we don't need to compete. I don't know if there's a communication jamming function inside. If we can gather together, we can do so."
"It's useless. We don't even know where we'll be teleported. It's hard to say if we'll be close to each other."
"Since there are good things inside, let's endure it and then go out to search. I always feel it won't be that simple after entering."
"If it were simple, it wouldn't be a trial."
......
They agreed that if they could meet up after entering, they would act together. If not, then so be it, as they knew nothing about the situation within the trial.
After chatting, a group of people walked into the teleportation array.
The scene changed, and Zhou Yan looked around. As expected, no one was there. He found himself on a plain that stretched as far as the eye could see. However, he didn't see any monsters.
Zhou Yan communicated with his territory and summoned it.
Inside his territory, Zhou Yan opened the communication function. As expected, it was completely jammed, and he couldn't contact anyone.
He then sent a message to Zhang Liang, Bai Qi, and others in his territory: "Gather the troops and prepare for battle. We won't mobilize too many people this time, about fifty thousand should be enough."
"Understood." Zhang Liang and Bai Qi immediately began to discuss who would be most suitable to mobilize.
However, Zhou Yan still had the command center dispatch dozens of reconnaissance aircraft to survey the situation outside the territory.
Since it was just a college trial and not a matter of great importance, it didn't have much impact on Xiao He, Fang Xuanling, and others. Zhou Yan merely informed them of the situation and told them to focus on their respective duties.
Jin Ye sensed Zhou Yan's return to the territory and transformed into a golden light, emerging from the [Cultivation Chamber]. He had been in seclusion there for the past few days, and coupled with the abundant resources of the territory, his own strength had greatly improved.
"Your realm has reached the twentieth heaven. Very good, quite fast."
Zhou Yan looked at Jin Ye. Dragons had long lifespans and required immense amounts of energy. Each advancement in realm demanded terrifying amounts of energy. Reaching the twentieth heaven with substantial resources was already quite impressive.
"Is there any action today? You mentioned a college trial a few days ago, it should be around these days." Jin Ye was quite curious about what this so-called college trial entailed.
"It has already begun. I don't know what changes will occur. If there's a chance later, I'll take you out to see."
Zhou Yan placed Jin Ye on his shoulder and then took out a spirit material for him.
Jin Ye looked at the spirit material and said, "I eat these spirit materials every day, and I've lost my appetite."
"How about I have someone cook you something delicious?" Zhou Yan asked.
"However, this thing still increases spiritual energy quite a bit, so I still have to eat it." Jin Ye extended his two small claws and began to eat slowly and quite daintily.
"I have an idea. I'll arrange for someone to specially refine pills for you using these spirit materials." Zhou Yan thought of a good solution.
"Pills? What are those?" Jin Ye looked curious.
"They are things like this." Zhou Yan took out a bottle of pills from the territory and poured one out for Jin Ye: "Try the taste."
Jin Ye sniffed, then swallowed it in one gulp, and said, "It's quite good, and it increases a lot of spiritual energy."
Zhou Yan checked the time. It seemed there was still some time before the trial began. Zhou Yan first took Jin Ye to the [Exotic Fire Alchemy Villa] and found Yao Yun, asking, "How is the alchemy going recently?"
"Reporting to the Lord, we have abundant medicinal herbs to support our alchemy. If we were still not doing well, wouldn't we be too ashamed to face you, my Lord?" Yao Yun replied promptly.
Zhou Yan nodded, then inquired about their needs. They didn't have many significant requests, only wanting some better alchemy cauldrons. With good alchemy cauldrons, their success rate could be greatly increased.
This matter had already been arranged, but alchemy cauldrons were not easy to acquire. They didn't need low-level ones, and high-level ones were not something that could be bought on demand.
Zhou Yan could only try his best, as it depended on luck whether he could find them.
"Are there any pills that can greatly increase spiritual energy?" Zhou Yan asked.
"There are quite a few pills that greatly increase spiritual energy. For which realm is the Lord intending them for? Different effects are available for people of different strengths," Yao Yun inquired.
"For him." Zhou Yan pointed at Jin Ye and said, "Although his current realm is only the twentieth heaven, dragons have strong digestive capabilities. Do you have any suitable for those around the fortieth heaven?"
Yao Yun looked at the little golden dragon, then began to search. Soon, he took out a type of pill and said, "This is a Yuan-Increasing Pill that can significantly boost spiritual power. For ordinary individuals at the fortieth heaven, taking one pill can allow them to cultivate for an entire day."
Zhou Yan took it, took out a pill, and gave it to Jin Ye, saying, "Try it."
"It smells quite fragrant." Jin Ye sniffed, then swallowed it. He felt the spiritual energy flowing through his body and said with satisfaction, "Good, this pill is just right."
"Refine more of this kind of pill. He needs to take a large amount," Zhou Yan instructed.
"Yes," Yao Yun replied, and handed over all the Yuan-Increasing Pills they had refined to the little golden dragon.
"Can I come here directly to get them after I finish this one?" Jin Ye asked.
"You can freely enter and exit the entire territory, of course. However, going outside the territory is not advisable for now; you're not yet suited for it," Zhou Yan cautioned.
"Okay." Jin Ye wouldn't go out unnecessarily; he only wanted to improve his strength now.
Jin Ye was a well-behaved little golden dragon, not mischievous at all, making him very reassuring. As for An Tian and Liuli, they were constantly cultivating, as they didn't need to guard the territory at all times.
Only Zhou Yan would raise pets in such a manner, feeding a little golden dragon pills as if they were meals.
Just then, a peculiar light shot out from the territory into the sky, greatly surprising Zhou Yan. He wondered what had happened.
"Looking at the light emanating from there, it seems to be from a [Forging Villa]." Zhou Yan was very curious, so he unfolded his Yin-Yang Double Wings and flew towards it.
Although Zhou Yan could fly without the Yin-Yang Double Wings, he had grown accustomed to using them, and they also increased his flying speed.
