1097 Purifying Spirit Master, Central Continent Sword
“There’s still a long way to go. We still have a lot of time and opportunities for everyone to take photos.” Jun Qing held back hisughter as he interrupted the reporters’ photo-taking. He was also telling the reporters that he and Lin Jiansheng would be long-term partners.
As expected, after understanding what Jun Qing meant, the reporters quickly quietened down.
Jun Qing didn’t prepare a manuscript.
He was unwilling to say anything else. He held the microphone as he calmly announced an exciting piece of news—
!!
“Today, on behalf of the Central Continent’s government, I officially announce that from today onwards, Purifying Spirit Masters will be a legal profession in the Central Continent. In the Central Continent, Purifying Spirit Masters can enjoy the same treatment as level-one scientists, Beast Tamers, Pharmacists, cksmiths, and Healers.”
Hearing this, the reporters were in an uproar.
In fact, on the way to the meeting, the shrewd reporters had already guessed that this meeting was definitely about Purifying Spirit Masters.
However, they only guessed that the Central Continent’s government would make Purifying Spirit Masters a legal profession. They didn’t expect that a Purifying Spirit Master could obtain the same preferential treatment as a Beast Tamer, Pharmacist, cksmith, and Healer in the Central Continent.
From this, it could be seen how much the Central Continent’s government valued the Purifying Spirit Master profession.
When they looked at Lin Jiansheng again, their gazes instantly became filled with respect and admiration.
This was because they knew very well that the ck-robed man standing on the high tform would be a legendary figure of Central Continent in the future!
Seeing themotion below the stage, Jun Qing reached out and gestured for the reporters to quiet down.
The reporters quickly quieted down and heard Jun Qing say, “After the research of the Central Continent’s government, we have unanimously decided to include the Five Lakes Street neighborhood in the new renovation area. The neighborhood map of Five Lakes Street will expand to the south by a million square meters.”
“We n to establish the first Purifying Spirit Master Academy on the Cang Lang Continent here. We will also move all 10 universities, including the Central Continent University of Science and Technology, the Central Continent Interster Academy, and the Central Continent Military Academy, to Five Lakes Street. We will work hard to turn the Five Lakes District into the Central Continent’s Academy City. In addition, we will also build aprehensive transportation terminal between the new area of Five Lakes Street and the old city. At that time, the headquarters of Central Continent’s three major transportationpanies will be moved to Five Lakes Street…”
After the introduction, Jun Qing stared at the cameras with a dignified expression and said, “The construction of the new district is both a challenge and an opportunity. We sincerely invite all the major merchants toe to inspect and settle in.”
After he announced the important decision, as well as another wave of advertisements and sponsorships, the press conference ended sessfully.
After this news spread, the entire Central Continent was in an uproar.
After some hidden experts heard this news, they immediately saw through Jun Qing’s ambition. “Jun Qing wants to turn Purifying Spirit Masters into Central Continent’s powerful force.”
When a sharp sword was hidden in a sheath, it was to hide one’s strength and bide one’s time. When a sharp sword was unsheathed, it was invincible.
Some experts with sharp senses acutely realized that the Central Continent, which had kept a low profile for thousands of years, was finally about to shine.

After the press conference ended, many schrs suddenly swarmed into Five Lakes Street.
Those Beast Tamers and scientists had nevere to Five Lake Street, the most barren, dpidated, and dirty area of Ice River City.
Even though they lived in the same city, there was an invisible river that divided them into two worlds.
North of Jiang River, there was prosperity.
South of Jiang River, there was poverty and filth.
However, on this day, Five Lake Street, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, suddenly weed batch after batch of well-dressed tourists.
Most of them were young people. They were all wearing fashionable clothes that were popr in the Central Continent. When those bright-colored clothing appeared on Five Lake Street, which was mainly filled with dark colors, the entire Five Lake Street seemed to have gained vitality in an instant.
In broad daylight, Di Wu’s tavern was filled with miners in ck down jackets.
This was a very rare scene.
Miners usually worked during the day. Only after work would they walk into Di Wu’s tavern to drink and rx in the evening. They would go home to rest in thetter half of the night.
Being able to patronize the tavern during the day was a luxury for these miners.
As a miner wiped the ice fog off the ss window with his sleeve and sized up the young man outside through the window, he couldn’t help but joke, “F*ck! I’ve lived here for decades, but this is the first time I’ve seen so many strangers.”
The others alsoughed and teased, “Isn’t that so? If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many applicants for the academies that the streets were crowded and it severely hindered our work, how could the mine manager have given us a break? How could we have the chance to gather here to drink and chat?”
Everyoneughed loudly.
“Mr. Di!” An old man in his sixties stood up and raised his ss to Di Wu. “Ever since you came, our town has been developing in a good direction. Back then, you suddenly appeared on Five Lakes Street and opened the only tavern in town, bringing some joy to our boring lives. Now, the guests you’re entertaining are powerful Purifying Spirit Masters!”
“Your arrival brought good luck to Five Lakes Street. Let us toast you!”
Upon hearing this old man’s words, the other miners stood up one after another. Then, they picked up the ss in their hands and shouted at Di Wu, “Lucky Star, here’s a toast to you!”
Di Wu looked at them with a smile as he picked up the wine bottle on the bar and bowed back to them. Then, he raised his head and finished the wine.
After a burp, Di Wu said, “You guys gave us a ce to settle down. This is our home, so it’s our duty to help our hometown.”
The atmosphere in the tavern gradually became warm and cozy.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang opened the door of the tavern and walked in.
When they saw that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were back, the miners in the tavern whistled at them. They gave them a thumbs up and shouted, “You guys have brought good luck to Five Lake Street. Thank you for your contribution to Five Lake Street!”
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang nodded at the workers. Then, they walked to the bar and asked Di Wu for a ss of wine.
Di Wu leaned against the bar counter.zily He didn’t want to mix drinks, so he poured them a ss of ale.
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang raised their sses. Then, they turned around and raised their sses to the workers behind them.
Yu Huang said, “From today onwards, we will all be people of Five Lakes Street!”
“Okay!”
After toasting, Yu Huang put down her wine ss and looked straight at Di Wu.
When Di Wu felt Yu Huang’s gaze, he opened his eyeszily and looked at Yu Huang unhappily. “Why are you staring at me?”
“So you’re not from Five Lake Street.” Yu Huang’s tone was unreadable. No one knew what she was thinking.
Di Wu tapped his finger on the wine bottle and said, “Yes, Naris and I are outsiders.” Di Wu raised his chin at the miners and said, “These people are also from outside. The only difference is the time we came.”
Then, Di Wu looked at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao as he said, “We are just like you guys. You guys will slowly be a part of this ce.”
This shabby street was magical. It could turn everyone who had been here into a part of this ce.
Yu Huang fell silent when she heard this.
