Upon hearing these words, the expressions of those present slightly relaxed, and their inner fighting spirit was ignited by Lu Hongfei.

"Teacher, I will definitely put forth effort in my cultivation. It's just the Five Great Daoist Schools, I can definitely get in. I won't go out shopping today; I'm going to seize the time to cultivate," Wang Lu said in a deep voice.

Ji Mingyue and the others also expressed their intentions one after another.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hongfei smiled and said, "Since you've come all the way to Cyan Dragon City, you should definitely take a good look around. Cultivation is a matter of perseverance, and achievement in the future will not rely on just a few days of enthusiasm."

With Lu Hongfei's persuasion, Wang Lu and the others finally stepped out of the villa.

After meeting up with Wang Lingfeng, they found that the talents from Black Mist City hadn't come along.

After Wang Lingfeng's explanation, they learned it was because there were more people from Black Mist City, and the academy had arranged two more students to receive them.

"I wonder what interesting places are in Cyan Dragon City?" Wang Lu asked with some excitement.

Wang Lingfeng smiled and replied, "There are so many—food streets, entertainment streets, commercial streets, and so on. Where do you want your first stop to be?"

"Of course, the entertainment street. I wonder what interesting things they have," Wang Lu asked again.

Wang Lingfeng replied meaningfully, "Whatever you can think of, they have it—arena, Gambling Egg Pavilion, casino, cinema, arcade, small treasure shops, and so on."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of ecstasy. Entertainment Street indeed had everything Wang Lingfeng described and more.

At this moment, Chu Chen suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"In a moment, you all go have fun first. I need to find some materials. Once I've bought what I need, I'll come find you," he said.

"Alright, but be quick; we'll wait for you," Wang Lu said in a deep voice.

"No rush, the way to Entertainment Street just happens to pass by the Commercial Street, so we can walk together for a bit," Wang Lingfeng said with a smile.

Chatting as they went, they soon arrived at the Commercial Street.

After parting ways with the group, Chu Chen quickly disappeared at the street's entrance.

He didn't ask around but headed straight for the Beastmaster Association.

The Beastmaster Association is known for good quality and low prices everywhere. Naturally, he wasn't going to let himself be taken advantage of, so he went to the association first to see. If the association didn't have the materials, he would then go to other shops.

After asking a few passersby, Chu Chen took half an hour to reach the Beastmaster Association.

Its architectural style was the same as the Beastmaster Association in Celestial Star City, the only difference being the size.

The Beastmaster Association here was five times the size of the one in Celestial Star City.

When Chu Chen entered the association, he found it smaller, not because the layout was reduced but because the association's space was small.

The association was already crowded to its capacity, and the loud noise constantly echoed in the association's hall.

Chu Chen took a moment to adapt before understanding what was going on.

It turned out that the people here could be divided into three segments: the first was the locals, the fewest group, making up only a tenth of the total people.

The second group was students here for the exchange competition; they came to buy cultivation resources and see if there were any treasures to enhance combat power, constituting about sixty percent of all people.

The third group was the relatives of the contestants; besides cheering and supporting, they came to this big city to expand their horizons.

With great effort, Chu Chen squeezed next to a staff member.

After inquiry, he learned that what he needed had to be purchased on the third floor, and whether there was stock would be revealed only on the third floor.

Chu Chen felt somewhat helpless about this, but he could only endure it and head to the third floor.

A moment later, Chu Chen squeezed onto the third floor; though there were fewer people than on the first floor, it was still very crowded.

Fortunately, there were many counters here. He found one with relatively fewer people and patiently queued up.

After roughly half an hour, it was finally Chu Chen's turn.

"What would you like to purchase?" a beautiful staff member asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly stated his request.

"Please wait a moment while I check for you."

Chu Chen couldn't help but admire that those who worked here were extraordinary.

Even in such a noisy environment, they still maintained courteous service, which was truly impressive.

A moment later, the staff member returned with a smile and said, "We have it in stock. How many do you need?"

Hearing the staff's question, Chu Chen was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong.

The difference between cities was so great, and this once again refreshed his understanding of large cities.

"One of each," Chu Chen quickly replied.

After spending more than three million, Chu Chen left the counter satisfied.

However, he couldn't be happy because he was poor again.

After buying Vitality Liquid last time, he had emptied his savings. The money for purchasing Heavenly and Earthly Treasures this time came from the profits shared from the Secret Realm.

This money was directly transferred to his bank account by the Daoist School when he arrived in Black Mist City.

Otherwise, he could only borrow money to buy these materials.

After securing the materials, he returned to the first floor, rented a laboratory, and locked the door before relaxing with a breath of relief.

The laboratory was extremely quiet, giving him a feeling of entering a peaceful paradise.

Chu Chen did not rush into brewing the Evolution Potion. Instead, he summoned the guide and carefully reviewed the Evolution Formula a few more times before beginning his work.

Having a few experiences of brewing Evolution Potions made the process quite manageable this time.
