Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 940 - 914 The Four Talents of Yang City

Guangtou Qiang was quite effective in handling things; he soon helped Tangyu and the others rent a courtyard, which was pretty decent. Not only could it accommodate five people, but ten people could stay comfortably as well. The environment was nice, and the rooms were very clean, satisfying Tangyu in all aspects.

Moreover, after some negotiation by Guangtou Qiang, the monthly rent was only three thousand lower grade spirit stones. This price was indeed much cheaper compared to staying at a guesthouse.

They parked the carriage in the courtyard, arranged their belongings, and settled in.

"Haha, Young Master Tang, trust me, this place is within my realm of familiarity. With me guiding you, everything gets done quite conveniently, and you definitely won’t get ripped off by anyone. I promised great value for money, and definitely delivered," Guangtou Qiang smiled broadly.

Tangyu smirked and said, "Take us to the tavern."

"Sure thing." Guangtou Qiang called out, and quickly led Tangyu and the others to a nearby tavern. The furnishings were decent, the place was bustling, and Guangtou Qiang pointed out, "This spot isn’t too expensive, though the flavors are quite excellent."

"Alright, let’s go with this place," Tangyu, indifferent to whether the price was high or low, didn’t mind spending a bit.

As Guangtou Qiang stepped inside, a nimble waiter hurriedly greeted him, "Oh Guangtou Qiang, you’ve picked up some business again."

Guangtou Qiang grinned confidently, "Indeed, I’ve been in this business for quite some time, my skills are top-notch. Enough chit-chat, quickly prepare a private room for us."

The waiter nodded and smiled obsequiously, "Of course, there’s just one left."

With the waiter leading them, they reached a room on the second floor, referred to as a private room, though it wasn’t entirely enclosed like a box. Instead, it was a pavilion with a visible view of the surrounding scenery. There were quite a few such pavilions here. The ambiance and atmosphere were excellent, far more comfortable than enclosed rooms.

Sitting down, the waiter presented them with the menu, courteously asking, "What dishes would you like to order, dear guests? Please take a look."

Tangyu casually flipped through it, finding the dish names peculiar and unfamiliar, so he simply handed it to Luo Xiaobing to order.

Luo Xiaobing glanced at it and only ordered two dishes, seemingly struggling, so Tangyu said, "Guangtou Qiang, help us order some more dishes with good flavor."

Guangtou Qiang grinned, "Alright, I’ll help you order. Haha, speaking of flavorful dishes here, I’m quite familiar with them. There are plenty, including delicacies of both land and sea, aromatic exotic fruits, various pastries—all tasting remarkably good."

Tangyu said, "Alright, go ahead and order more; it’s fine."

With Tangyu’s generous permission, Guangtou Qiang had enough leeway, ordering ten dishes and three desserts before stopping, and then asking for several jars of good wine, he sent the waiter away.

Tangyu scanned his surroundings, noticing many well-dressed young men and women, each possessing a heroic demeanor, all exuding the aura of the Mystic Law Realm. They likely came to participate in the Yanshan Sect disciple selection.

Cultivators of the Mystic Law Realm are rarely seen on Earth and even rarer once they appear. Yet here, they’re everywhere, almost worthless. Moreover, the Yanshan area is just a tiny spot in the Taoism Cultivation world.

Such a remote place where Mystic Law Realm cultivators are commonplace indeed made people sigh.

Tangyu asked, "Guangtou Qiang, concerning previous sessions, how many people typically participate in the Yanshan Sect disciple selection, and what’s the success rate?"

Guangtou Qiang promptly replied, "I’ve researched this somewhat. I’ve analyzed the last ten Yanshan Sect disciple selections, reaching one conclusion. The Yanshan Sect disciple selection occurs once every three years with a modest scale. On average, the number of candidates who pass and become Yanshan Sect disciples doesn’t exceed sixty. Yet the number of participants usually surpasses two thousand, occasionally reaching as many as three thousand."

"Such a large pool, with only a few making it through the selection process, it’s extremely difficult."

Tangyu frowned slightly, realizing that out of two to three thousand participants, only a few dozen are selected, a very low ratio. However, what surprised Tangyu was that as many as two to three thousand people could participate in such a selection, which is quite an astounding number.

Could it be that Mystic Law Realm in the Taoism Cultivation world is truly so underrated?

Keep in mind, Earth’s Ancient Martial World, even when factoring in ancient great powers, has just thirty or so Mystic Law Realm cultivators, while here in the Yanshan area, an unknown multitude exists, likely numbering in the tens of thousands?

This disparity is simply a vast gulf between heaven and earth.

Zi Cang and Yu Feng were clearly taken aback, having never left Earth, they truly were like frogs at the bottom of a well, unaware of how vast the world truly is.

Only now do they realize how small Earth really is.

Billions of small worlds, each one just a mere drop in the ocean.

Bald Qiang shook his head and said, "Tangyu, let me be honest with you, trying to pass the selection to become a disciple of the Yanshan Sect is extremely difficult, it’s akin to a fish leaping over the dragon’s gate. However, once you do pass the selection and become a disciple of the Yanshan Sect, you’ll have transformed into a dragon. In our Yanshan land, only the disciples of the Yanshan Sect are worth mentioning. Everyone is eager to join the Yanshan Sect, breaking their heads to get in."

"Fail to enter the Yanshan Sect, and you’re likely doomed to mediocrity for a lifetime. Only by becoming a disciple of the Yanshan Sect can you hope to travel further on the path of immortality, potentially becoming a dominant force in the future."

"The Yanshan Sect has been entrenched in the Yanshan land for over a thousand years. Its foundation is incredibly deep, and its rule over the Yanshan land is absolute and unshakeable. I’m not trying to discourage you, but your chances of passing the selection are pathetically small. For most people, the selection is simply a chance to gain experience and see the world. Don’t take it too seriously, or else you’ll end up losing."

After speaking, Bald Qiang gave Tangyu and the others a meaningful look, a you-know-what-I-mean expression.

Tangyu smirked, but did not refute Bald Qiang’s words.

Although Tangyu was aware of the difficulty in the selection of disciples for the Yanshan Sect, he still harbored strong confidence in his heart.

A commotion came from a distance, Bald Qiang looked over and his face showed a few traces of surprise: "Hmm!"

Seeing Bald Qiang’s reaction, Tangyu also looked over. Only to see four figures being led by a waiter into a private room. These four were dressed resplendently, exuding confidence and conversing with eloquence. Every gesture displayed a few traits of a powerful person. Between their brows, you could sense a hint of arrogance.

All four appeared to be in their early twenties, each handsome and graceful.

Just a glance and one could sense the powerful aura emanating from them, determining that each possessed extraordinary strength, surely being Mystic Law Realm cultivators.

Furthermore, Tangyu could feel from these four an aura that made even him somewhat apprehensive, indicating their strength was nothing to underestimate.

"These four seem to have quite a background." Luo Xiaobing judged based on her experience, though she didn’t know these four.

Tangyu looked at Bald Qiang and asked, "Do you know them?"

Bald Qiang swallowed quietly before withdrawing his gaze and replying, "Of course, I know them. They are the Yang City Four Talents, renowned and famous, their reputation established long ago. Anyone with discernment has probably heard of the Yang City Four Talents."

"Yang City Four Talents?" Tangyu raised an eyebrow slightly, from Bald Qiang’s tone it seemed these four were indeed quite extraordinary.

Bald Qiang nodded and said, "In Yang City, which apart from Yanshan City is one of the top cities, there are four major factions consisting of the Yang Family, Liu Family, Sima Family, and Fu Family. Among the four, the Yang Family leads, commanding Yang City. However, the other three are not far behind, essentially creating a balance of power among the four. Throughout the Yanshan land, these four families are prominent and formidable forces."

"And the Yang City Four Talents are disciples of these families, each endowed with exceptional talent, exhibiting extraordinary aptitude early on, gaining fame quickly. The four grew up together, sharing a strong bond, often venturing out as a group, earning one remarkable reputation after another, leading everyone to simply call them the Yang City Four Talents, which they gladly embraced."

"Their true rise to fame came about half a year ago. The four were out traveling and were intercepted by a gang of bandits unaware of who they were dealing with. This group of bandits, known as the Wolf Tiger Gang, held a significant evil reputation, ranking among the top five bandit forces in the Yanshan land. The gang had eight leaders, each a Mystic Law Realm cultivator, with the head leader possessing Mystic Law Realm Third Layer strength, some of the leaders being Mystic Law Realm Second Layer, and the rest Mystic Law Realm First Layer."

"Beyond the eight leaders, there were nearly a thousand gang disciples. Among them, eight to nine layers of the Fundamental Realm, over two hundred strong. Such a terrifying force was completely swept away by the Yang City Four Talents, erased from existence. This battle made them famous overnight, turning them into the hottest topic throughout Yanshan land. It elevated the four to new heights."

"So for this Yanshan Sect disciple selection, the four’s prospects are incredibly high, practically guaranteed to pass the selection. There’s virtually no one who can compete with them. Finding someone to match their fame is very unlikely. While there are others with high potential, their fame pales in comparison. In terms of reputation, the Yang City Four Talents are unparalleled."

"Oh, so it seems the strength of these four is truly formidable." Tangyu was also taken by surprise.

Indeed formidable, for the four to have eliminated the Wolf Tiger Gang. Mystic Law Realm Third Layer, Tangyu wasn’t confident of success. A battle might be possible, but to defeat them, Tangyu certainly couldn’t achieve that.

Zi Cang and Yu Feng also furrowed their brows, involuntarily remarking, "Definitely formidable, we really can’t be careless this time."

Tangyu smirked, "Better be on alert."
