The Holy Dragon city’s cultivators ‘battle team was independent and completely different from the Holy Dragon city’s Army. Their weapons and equipment were more personalized and of better quality so that they could display the cultivators’ individual strengths.

It was precisely because of Tang Zhen’s reckless investment that the cultivators in Black Rock City felt increasingly envious.

Cultivator battle teams were a type of troop type that consumed a lot of resources. In all the buildings, they accounted for a large part of the expenses. But even so, there was still no guarantee that the cultivators would have sufficient resources.

Black Rock City was the best example of this.

Due to the scarcity of cultivation resources, Black Rock City had always implemented a competitive system. It even encouraged cultivators to defeat their opponents by hook or by crook in order to obtain limited cultivation resources.

In addition, the internal affairs of Black Rock City were now rotten to the core. The authoritative figures in the management had almost monopolized all the cultivation resources to strengthen the power of the main family. This had also caused the cultivation resources of the cultivators in Black Rock City to become increasingly scarce.

Their weapons couldn’t be replaced or maintained, and their armors and protective gear could only be repaired simply. Their various supplementary equipment couldn’t be repaired either. Now that they were standing together with thousand Dragons and the other Holy Dragon City cultivators, they were far inferior to the Holy Dragon City in terms of appearance!

A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. In this aspect, the cultivators from Black Rock City were completely defeated!

Seeing the awkwardness in their senior and junior brothers ‘eyes, the cultivators from Black Rock City had mixed feelings. Other than their deep envy for the cultivators from Holy Dragon City, they also felt a deep resentment towards the children of the rich and powerful in Black Rock City.

It could be said that the cultivators from Black Rock City who were sent as emissaries this time were a group of people that the nobles of Black Rock City did not like. This was why they were assigned this mission and had to risk passing through the blockade of the corpse Army to Holy Dragon City to ask for help.

As for their own sons, nephews, and descendants, they all remained in Black Rock City and waited for the arrival of reinforcements!

The cultivators were full of complaints about the actions of the influential officials of Black Rock City, but they did not dare to stand up and resist.

However, their families were living in Black Rock City. If they offended these nobles, they would most likely be chased out of the tower and left to fend for themselves in the endless wilderness.

Now that they saw the Holy Dragon city’s harmonious scene, with strong troops and abundant resources, they were all secretly envious.

Tang Zhen did not know the inner thoughts of these Black Rock City cultivators. However, he could see their unblinking eyes that were filled with yearning and envy.

The corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth gently revealed a faint smile. He turned his head and glanced at little Rui in the group. After giving a meaningful glance, he continued to lead the way for the middle-aged cultivator and the rest.

After little Rui saw the signal sent by Tang Zhen, he struggled for a moment in his heart. He couldn’t help but feel a little hesitant. However, after a while, he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes became more and more determined.

As the cultivators from Black Rock City were not residents here, Tang Zhen arranged for them to stay in a temporary tent. After leaving Tai Seng to entertain them, he turned around and returned to his study room to continue his research.

Soon, it was time to eat. The residents of Holy Dragon City came back from work and began to line up to go to the cafeteria.

At Tai Seng’s invitation, the cultivators of Black Rock City also headed to the dining hall for a meal.

Because the living space in loucheng was a little tight, the dining hall of the Holy Dragon City was built on the edge of the square. It was a large colored steel shed.

When they arrived at the canteen, they saw the residents getting their food in an orderly manner. The cultivators of Black Rock City followed the local customs. Each of them held a plate and stood at the back of the line.

After more than ten minutes, it was the middle-aged cultivator’s turn. After he served the plate, the chef looked at him and filled his plate with food.

The middle-aged cultivator looked at the food and could not help but ask a Holy Dragon City resident beside him, ” “Brother, do you usually eat these?”

The Holy Dragon City resident glanced at the middle-aged cultivator’s plate and shook his head, ” “Aren’t you tired of eating these every day? we change the menu every three days. There’s chicken, fish, eggs, and everything.

By the way, there are many bowls over there. If you want to drink sugar water or tea, you can pour them yourself!”

This Holy Dragon City resident treated the middle-aged cultivator as a new resident and even gave him some advice.

“Oh, thanks, brother!”

The middle-aged cultivator nodded and went to the stainless steel bucket. He tasted the tea and poured himself a big cup of tea.

The middle-aged cultivator returned to his table under the colored steel canopy. He stared at his plate but didn’t eat.

This wasn’t because the middle-aged cultivator was afraid that there was something wrong with the food, but because he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The Holy Dragon city’s residents actually had such sumptuous meals.

There were large pieces of red braised pork, deep-fried dried fish, a few small pickled vegetables, and crystal clear rice. The fragrance assailed the nose and looked extremely tempting.

Although he was the head instructor of Black Rock City’s cultivators, he did not receive such treatment. His usual meals were mostly grass seed rice, Black Rock City’s insect meat, and a bowl of light mushroom soup!

He had been eating this food for decades, and the middle-aged cultivator had almost forgotten the taste of other food.

However, Holy Dragon city’s food was indeed delicious. Back when he was travelling in the wilderness, he had tasted many delicacies. However, compared to Holy Dragon city’s food, he always felt that they were lacking.

The middle-aged cultivator didn’t know that Tang Zhen had added various seasonings to the food from his original world. Compared to the dry cooking method in the world of loucheng, it was naturally much more delicious!

The middle-aged cultivator picked up a spoon and gently scooped up a piece of rice. He had a taste and found that it tasted very good. It was not as hard to swallow as the grass seed rice, and was a very good staple food.

After tasting the rice, the middle-aged cultivator took a bite of the red braised meat. His mouth was filled with fragrance, and his appetite increased greatly!

Not long after, the cultivators of Black Rock City returned to the table with a full plate of food. They looked at each other and began to gobble down their food.

After finishing the meal, drinking a bowl of sugar water or tea, that feeling was really comfortable.

The meal left all the cultivators ‘mouths full of oil and their stomachs round. They were all secretly envious of the Holy Dragon city’s residents being able to eat such delicious food every day.

After the meal, Tai Seng rushed over again and began to lead the cultivators of Black Rock City for a walk in the valley. From time to time, he would introduce them to the various scenic spots in Holy Dragon City.

After a period of rest and construction, the Holy Dragon Valley had become more and more beautiful and pleasant. There were birds chirping and flowers everywhere, and the desolation and barrenness of the wilderness outside could not be seen at all.

Stepping on the soft carpet-like grass, the middle-aged cultivator pointed at the mother tree and asked Tai Seng, ” may I ask, Chief Tai Seng, that giant tree looks extraordinary. What’s its background? ”

Tai Seng smiled and said with a face full of pride, ” “I won’t hide it from you. This giant tree is called the ‘mother tree’. It’s a second-grade auxiliary city of our Holy Dragon City. This mother tree is very mystical and has many unexpected abilities!

Especially at night, the mother tree would naturally emit a seven-colored fluorescent light, illuminating the area covered by its crown with an incomparably beautiful light.

It’s useless no matter how much I say. You can enjoy it yourself tonight!”

As Tai Seng spoke, his face was filled with an uncontainable pride.
