<h4>Chapter 84: Santa ra</h4>
"Oh! This is interesting." The young man said with a smile on his face. He had long red hair and gray eyes, with a beauty that would easily put him among the top in this part of the continent.
As for the Warrior-grade medicine, this was a medicine used to refining spiritual pills between grade-1, high-level, and grade-2, low-level. Medicine like this could be helpful to produce spiritual pills for advancing to the 5th stage and for other types of pills for cultivators at the beginning of this stage of cultivation.
As for the ssification it received, the medicines were divided into: Common, Warrior, Real, Saint, and Divine. Each medicine had different uses, considering its ssification, with the medicines of Saint-grade being the ones with greater possibilities.
How much better the pill''s potency depended not only on the ability of medicine but also on the alchemist level. For this reason, a more skilled and higher ranking alchemist could use the ingredients of their pill to the limit and achieve better rankings.
But each medicine had its limit, and in the case of Warrior-grade medicine, it was grade-2, low-level pills.
The young woman, who also had red hair and gray eyes, smiled and said. "Big brother, are we going to take this medicine?"
"For us, medicine at this level is not so relevant. We already have a lot of resources at our disposal. Let''s leave that to ourpetitors. At least that will animate things in this tournament. Haha." The young man said confidently.
"Hmm, but it will not be easy for other participants of lesser powers to achieve this. Even if it is only a Warrior-grade medicine, it is not easy to harvest without injuring its spirituality." The other man in the group said, considering the consequences of this.
It wasplicated to harvest a wild medicine like that. There were usually specific techniques that alchemists used to harvest these nts, but there were no alchemists in thispetition.
Therefore, to harvest such a nt without a suitable technique, people who would harvest it had to have enough spiritual energy to handle it without damaging its general structure.
"That''s right. Suppose none of the people who are going after this don''t have an alchemist in the group. In that case, they need at least one Spiritual King to harvest this nt without it being damaged." The young master said as he rubbed his face.
The girl then said excitedly. "But forget that for now, I want to get to the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom soon. I heard that some of the greatest geniuses in our region are already there."
"Hmm, let''s get going then." After saying this, the group left the city where they were going through arge gate with the inscriptions, ''City of flowers.''
...
Meanwhile, Minos and Ruth were almost reaching the city where they would spend the night when White began to descend from the skies slowly. It was already dark at this point, and the city lights nearby could be seen from afar.
This ce seemed to be even bigger than the City of Waters, where they had previously stopped. At the time, Minos was talking to Ruth about ordinary everyday things at the Gray Cloud Sect.
He then asked. "Ehh, you seem to know a lot about the Cromwell Kingdom. Have you traveled here many times?"
She shook her head and said. "No, in fact, this is only the second time that I have left the ming Empire. The first time was with my master when we visited you in the Dry City a few months ago."
"Normally, the disciples of the sects in my region can only leave the empire on four asions." Minos then cut off her speech. He said. "Huh? And why is that?"
"Let me finish talking!" She then continued. "To leave the territory of the empire, we have to be apanied by a superior. This is the first possibility. The second is that we have reached the level of a Spiritual King, the third if we have a family urgency outside the confines of the empire. And the fourth, if we receive a mission, as in my case."
"These conditions are because the ming Empire has some external enemies that are dangerous to weaker people. After all, not all disciples receive Silver-grade techniques like me." She said with a proud expression on her face.
"But even people like me, they still have to follow these rules to preserve the power of the ming Empire sects. But at the interior of the empire, we can leave the territories of our sects usually."
"Hmm, I see..." Minos thought reflexively. He thought of his mother''s case, but that was only a second.
Considering Minos'' age and Maisie''s cultivation level, then she was certainly already a Spiritual Emperor when she became pregnant with him. In that case, this would not justify her prolonged absence.
Minos then buried these thoughts in his mind when the great eagle finallynded it in one of the city''s entrances that they were seeing in the distance a few minutes ago.
This ce was called Santa ra, a city with more than 300,000 inhabitants and a highly well-developed local agriculture. In fact, this was one of the cities that exported grains and cereals to the Dry City before the cultures of Minos started to develop in the territories of the ck in.
These areas had an average spiritual concentration, much like the city of Pornd, on Stone Ind.
And as soon as he entered the city, Minos could see how rich this ce was.
It was extremely well lit, with wide streets and avenues, gardens spread over different parts of the city, and many buildings in the gothic style. It was beautiful to see. There were even lighting arrays on the sidewalls of the structures so that it could be disyed, even when it was the night!
"Wow, what an extravagance, these people did not skimp on spending on lighting arrays..." Minos murmured while enjoying the beautiful view of this city.
Hearing thement in a low voice from Minos, Ruth, who was beside him,ughed softly without making a noise. For her, Minos'' behavior was like that of a hick who came out of nowhere and experienced an advanced civilization.
It was hrious for her to see that.
''How silly, I wanted to see your reaction when you go to the City of Clouds...'' Sheughed softly while having one of her hands hiding her lips.
...
After riding around the city in a carriage, that they had hired at the entrance to Santa ra, Ruth and Minos had dinner at a restaurant rmended by the coachman.
This was a pleasant ce, but for Minos, who had already tried the delicacies of the Barbecue Temple in the capital of Stone Ind, this ce did not attract the attention of the young Stuart.
As for the beautiful Ruth, she came from an empire, so her culinary tastes were at an even higher level than Minos''. For her, these asions were necessary only to supply the nutrition that her body still needed.
And after eating, the two were taken to a hotel in the downtown area, where the best ce to stay in Santa ra was. At least, that''s what the coachman told them as he made his way to the Vi Hotel.
Upon arriving at this ce, Minos and Ruth studied the stained-ss windows and vaults of the building for an instant. There were also some strange sculptures in several ces.
Upon arriving at the reception, there were two young attendants, with one receiving another guest who had just arrived and the other are free. Minos then approached and heard the girl''s thin voice.
"Wee to the Vi Hotel. What service are you looking for?" The young woman asked politely.
Minos smiled and said. "Give me a double room, preferably one that is medium size."
Upon hearing Minos'' request, Ruth immediately opened my mouth to say something, but no words hade out. She understood very well what young Stuart was doing. Still, it seemed that her body unconsciously wanted it too, preventing her from going against that decision.
At the same time that Ruth faced her existential dilemma, the young attendant had already collected the deposit from Minos and handed over the keys to the room in which they would spend the night.
After that, Minos took one of Ruth''s hands and brought it to the 5th floor, where their room was located.
...
Upon arriving in the room, the two took a good look at the ce before they began to cultivate quietly. There was arge double bed in this room, which could easily amodate four people at once, with arge balcony and a beautiful red curtain.
There were also some pictures on the walls with paintings from the Santa ra region, spiritual nts, and several decorative pieces of furniture. There was also a ce made specifically for people to cultivatefortably, with two purple cushions on the floor.
At that time, Ruth circted her Silver-grade cultivation technique and spread several spiritual crystals around her. She was much more focused than usual because today, she felt she was going to go up to level 46!
