Chapter 1420 - 1421: Arrival at Jiuzhou
On the vast white jade base platform, there stands a white jade portal, on which fierce waves of soul energy ripple, accompanied by spatial fluctuations that continuously emerge.
Jade Portal.
The product of the combination between transmission array and transmission gates, the scholar from the Heavenly Art Department next to Li Yuanxin has carefully explained the function of this jade portal.
Upon hearing the explanation from the person beside them, the family of three stood dumbfounded in front of the jade portal, staring at this magnificent structure, lost for words.
It was at this moment that Li Yuanxin realized his understanding of the Huaxia Empire was just the tip of the iceberg; he had no idea about its true grandeur.
He formerly believed he had a rough grasp of the Huaxia Empire's power.
But now he clearly knew how laughable his ideas were.
The jade portal in front of him was something he couldn't even imagine in the past.
The supposed functionalities of the jade portal were only legends in the upper realm of immortals, known only through ancient texts.
In fact, the portals described in estimates were far inferior to the jade portal before him.
As he gazed at the jade portal in an emotional stupor, Li Yuanxin's heart was somewhat excited; he truly wanted to quickly experience the feeling of traversing space through the jade portal.
And what kind of existence the destination behind the portal, the nine provinces of the Huaxia Empire, really was.
When he was coming over, Lin Qian had already informed him that the territory of the Upper Origin Immortal Country would inevitably be left to him to manage in the future.
However, he didn't fully comprehend various policies and operational modes of the Huaxia Empire.
Moreover, the entire Upper Origin Immortal Country wasn't stable yet.
Therefore, Lin Qian's idea was to have Li Yuanxin's family of three first go to the nine provinces of the lower mortal realm to cultivate, as a form of learning.
After honing himself well in various places of the nine provinces, he would return.
By then, he could negotiate with other members of the Good Pulse Immortal Clan, persuade them to surrender to the Huaxia Empire.
The feeling of passing through the jade portal was very peculiar, and in the next moment, he arrived at the true center of the Huaxia Empire's nine provinces, on the Soul Martial Star.
Upon reaching the imperial palace of the nine provinces, the first to greet him were the current Empress of the Huaxia Empire and the Crown Prince.
"Within the city, your residence has been arranged." In the back hall of the imperial palace, Ye Xin looked kindly at Li Yuanxin in front, "You need not worry; on the Soul Martial Star, nobody will perceive you differently."
Upon hearing the Empress's reassurance, Li Yuanxin felt a bit relieved, then left the imperial palace following the lead of the palace maids.
Upon arriving in the city, it was his first time seeing the cities of the Huaxia Empire.
Clean and tidy streets, everything well-ordered, high-rise buildings lined on both sides, bustling people coming and going.
Soul energy pulses appeared everywhere, though chaotic, it wasn't cumbersome, with no intense fluctuations causing discomfort.
Streets were also divided, unlike those in the upper realm of immortals, they weren't separated by racial status, but rather by pedestrians, soul beast mounts, and some peculiar soul device metal boxes.
Wide roads split in two directions, resembling soul beast carts, with Martial Artists riding soul beast mounts speeding along.
On either side of the roads lay paths paved with various bricks, different races walking back and forth on them.
Various races seem to coexist harmoniously without any exclusion or discrimination.
In fact, he saw many interracial couples.
"Brother Yuan, you're truly amazing, actually winning the title of three-good student."
"Indeed, we all failed, only you succeeded in becoming a three-good student."
"In future cultivation, be sure to look after us more."
At this moment, a group of teen boys from different races surrounded a human boy, walking toward Li Yuanxin.
The boy in the center seemed to enjoy the adulation, waving his hand grandly: "Hahaha, I'm happy today; let's go eat spiced Hunan cuisine."
"Long live Brother Yuan, this time we'll have fun."
"Heard the Agriculture Department produced new chilies, they're very spicy."
"Later it's agreed, no resistance using soul energy; let's see who can endure it."
The group of teens chatted excitedly, walking past Li Yuanxin and his family of three.
Their words caught Li Yuanxin's attention, and he turned to his wife and children: "Why don't we go take a look as well?"
Liu Xufei and Li Deng nodded in agreement.
The family of three followed the group of teens to a store called Spicy Delight, and upon the recommendation of the shop assistant, ordered some dishes.
Not long after, they were all fanning their tongues due to the spiciness, yet they found it immensely satisfying.
Spice used in dishes was something that hadn't appeared in this world yet.
Thus, it quickly gained many admirers.
During the meal, Li Yuanxin silently observed that patrons at the shop enjoyed their meals regardless of their realm.
The price wasn't cheap or expensive, but many in the Body Refining Realm could afford it, indicating that common folks in the Huaxia Empire lived comfortably.
Moreover, the dishes contained spiritual energy in the fruits and vegetables, and blood energy in the meat, greatly benefiting the body after consumption.
Others enjoyed the dishes with a natural demeanor, seemingly accustomed to it.
What was even more surprising was that the shop assistant's cultivation was actually in the Dao Realm.
A Dao Realm working as a shop assistant in a restaurant with a cheerful demeanor left him perplexed.
Upon finishing the meal and checking out, Li Yuanxin couldn't help but ask, "Brother, I notice your cultivation level is Dao Realm, working as a shop assistant in this restaurant, don't you feel you're underutilized?"
The shop assistant, hearing Li Yuanxin's query, glanced at him, noticing something amiss: "So you're from the Immortal Clan, I initially mistook you for a Shared Vein User from the Red Horn and Black Corner Clans; no wonder you're unaware of the situation."
The shop assistant's words shocked Li Yuanxin; this person actually recognized him as an immortal clan member?
Did the mortal realm know the upper realm of immortals so well?
"Spicy Delight is a store registered with the Huaxia Empire's commerce department; working here not only earns Huaxia Coins, but also contribution points." The shop assistant continued, "Spicy Delight is now an ultra-large chain store in the Empire; working as a shop assistant here is light work and earns many contribution points, why not do it?"
"With enough contribution points, you can exchange for many things from the Huaxia Empire."
"Enough points, and you can have His Majesty Renhuang Martial Emperor personally instruct you, no problem at all!" With that, the shop assistant patted Li Yuanxin on the shoulder, "Welcome to the Huaxia Empire, get used to life here slowly."
After speaking, the shop assistant collected the dishes and left, muttering: "His Majesty truly reclaimed the Immortal Clan, interesting indeed."
