The Dragon Phoenix Academy was located within the Dragon Phoenix Province, and the entirety of the province was the academy's territory. It was at the borders of the Eastern Pass and Southern Wasteland, an area not within the control of the two regions.

The province occupied an area with several hundred cities with population surpassing hundreds of millions. However, the area around the Dragon Phoenix Academy was sparsely populated, as it was mostly filled with forests and mountains. This place was also one of the most important locations for demons. Apart from demons, there were also a lot of other races that enjoyed staying in these thick forests.

As for the Dragon Phoenix Academy itself, it was located at the middle of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range. It was surrounded by mountains, with demons as neighbors. One could say the academy's location served as a form of natural defense.

Xiang Shaoyun's group was teleported to Dragon Phoenix City, which was located at the periphery of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range. A massive amount of high-grade spirit crystals had been exhausted to teleport them this far, sending them across the Western Desert.

The Dragon Phoenix City was one of the most flourishing cities in the world, and it was under direct rule of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. When the group arrived, they saw that the architecture was grand and majestic. A never ending stream of carriages dotted the roads of the bustling city.

Generations of Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples were gathered here. Apart from that, people from all over the world were also living in the city. No conflicts were allowed in the city. Anyone who dared to create trouble in the city would suffer the punishment of the Dragon Phoenix Academy's enforcers, which completely unlike the situation in the Bloodsin City they had come from.

The moment Xiang Shaoyun's group arrived, a voice rang out, "Welcome, junior brothers and sisters. I am your senior brother, Xiu Yi, who joined during the previous recruitment. I will be in charge of bringing you to your prepared accommodations as you rest and await the test."

Everyone looked over and saw a man who looked to be about 30 years old speaking to them. Xiang Shaoyun also swept his gaze over and found that he was completely incapable of seeing through Xiu Yi's strength. Evidently, this senior brother was not weak at all. The group quickly gave Xiu Yi their respects. Xiu Yi smiled and led the newcomers to their lodgings.

The Dragon Phoenix City was considered a city of the Dragon Phoenix Academy, and everything in the city belonged to the academy. Those wishing to stay or conduct business were required to pay a large amount of rent.

Only those who had contributed greatly to the academy were allowed to own a property in the city. Otherwise, one could only rent. In other words, any organization that had arrived would not be able to own any land in the city for a prolonged period of time. The only thing they could do was rent.

From that, it was obvious the academy had absolute control over the city. No outside organizations were allowed to spread their influence here. Xiang Shaoyun and the group of newcomers looked around curiously without stop as they followed Xiu Yi around.

Although they were all geniuses from various places, they were still filled with excitement when they saw a top-tier city like the Dragon Phoenix City. The city was filled with ancient and majestic buildings, and stores sold all sorts of items as pedestrians moved about in endless streams, displaying the grandeur of a top-tier city.

Soon, they arrived before a restaurant. The restaurant had a red cornice roof, pillars sculpted with dragons and phoenixes, and yellow walls and grated windows. The building constantly exuded a sense of majesty.

In front of the restaurant hung an eye-catching board with the words "Dragon Phoenix Restaurant" written with a flamboyant and bold calligraphy style that seemed to be filled with power.

Clearly, the restaurant was one of the academy's businesses in the city in addition to being a place of lodging for the new recruits. Xiu Yi led the newcomers as they entered the restaurant. When they entered, they found that the restaurant with a size of several thousand square meters was already filled with youngsters. Each of them was heroic and spirited, and all were late-stage Skysoar Realm cultivators. Without a doubt, these were also all the test candidates.

Xiu Yi led Xiang Shaoyun's group to an empty spot and had them all seated. He then said, "The restaurant will be responsible for your food and accommodation. You will receive your room numbers shortly. After three days when the others arrive as well, everyone will be gathered for the test. Let me first issue you a few reminders. Firstly, you are not allowed to create any trouble. Those found creating trouble will be immediately disqualified. If you really have an issue with someone, you may duel your enemy on the arena. Secondly, those who are not present during the start of the test will be considered to have withdrawn from the test..."

After telling them the rules, Xiu Yi left. Soon, the employees of the restaurant served them a large amount of delicacies. However, none of them seemed interested in the food. Instead, they started conversing with the people around them. They were doing so to make more friends and to get some assistance for the coming test.

"Shaoyun, do you want to take a stroll around the city?" Tang Longfei asked.

Xiang Shaoyun swept his gaze at the food served and said, "How about we wait? Let's eat first."

He then started eating. The moment the food entered his mouth, he felt strands of energy coursing through his meridians, filling his entire body with comfort. The food served was actually delicately prepared medicinal cuisine.

Others might not be able to realize this, but Xiang Shaoyun was one who had taken countless medicinal baths in childhood. Thus, he had some knowledge in terms of medicinal mixtures, and he was thus able to see the uniqueness of the food served.

Looking at Xiang Shaoyun who was hungrily gorging down the food, Tang Longfei said, "Shaoyun, you can have mine as well."

He thought Xiang Shaoyun was starving so he offered the portion allocated to him. Xiang Shaoyun did not stand in ceremony and accepted the offer with a smile, "Don't regret it!"

Tang Longfei shrugged indifferently. On the other hand, when Ning Wenhuang saw Xiang Shaoyun's behavior, she started eating as well. After the first bite, she sank into thought. She then took the second bite, and next, she started gorging the food like Xiang Shaoyun as well. Lady Shura and the Han Clan sisters hesitated slightly before they started eating.

After he was done devouring all the food before him, Xiang Shaoyun patted his belly and said, "Not bad at all. I did not expect to be served with a medicinal cuisine capable of nourishing one's meridians and aura."

"Yeah. A meal like this brings one great benefit when frequently eaten," said Ning Wenhuang.

An odd look appeared on Tang Longfei's face as he asked, "This is a medicinal cuisine?"

"Yes! I reckon a large amount of king medicines were used to cook this meal. Although the medicinal effect is diluted when cooked this way, the meal still has a nourishing effect," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Upon hearing that, Tang Longfei quickly called to the waiter, "Waiter, 10 sets of the same meal, please."

After he said that, the other people in the restaurant looked over at him like they were looking at some fool, their eyes filled with derision.

Unsurprisingly, the waiter replied calmly, "Only two sets of meals are supplied per day for each person. One in the afternoon and one in the evening. Also, this meal is not available for sale."
