Chapter 202: Three Auras
Over the next few days, Guest Receiving Peak became much quieter.
Elder Sang Yanping brought Chen Qing, Shen Xiuyong and others to visit several sects that had always been on good terms with Five Terraces Sect. They exchanged information and learned more rumors and inside details about the selection.
After that, the Five Terraces Sect members mostly stayed at their lodgings, rarely going out.
Nie Shanshan, Yan Yaoyang and others deeply understood that their cultivation still had gaps compared to the top prodigies. They almost never left their rooms, burying themselves in arduous cultivation, hoping to make even a bit more progress before the selection.
However, Li Wang couldn't resist Tianbao City's prosperous allure. He dragged along several equally curious junior brothers to broaden their horizons in the giant city.
When they returned, every one of them was beaming with excitement, exclaiming continuously about the luxurious scenes of countless rare treasures and exotic items in the city. They were especially impressed by the renowned 'Hundred Flowers Tower.' Though they hadn't dared to enter deeply, just observing from afar the singing and dancing, the brilliant lights and imposing grandeur had already left them dazzled.
However, this matter was soon discovered by Nie Shanshan, who reported it to Elder Chu Jinyun.
Chu Jinyun summoned Li Wang and the others for a stern lecture, warning them that this place was no trivial matter. They mustn't let prosperity blind them, delaying important matters or even inviting disaster.
Li Wang and the others immediately wilted like frost-bitten eggplants, hanging their heads. Afterward they became much more obedient, not daring to go out casually again.
