<h4>Chapter 1117: Chapter 1114: Looked Down Upon</h4>


    Xu Wendong thought his Dragon Scale Battle Armor would leave him unscathed.


    But he underestimated the damage caused by the time rift.


    After traversing a dark distance, his Dragon Scale Battle Armor was already in tatters.


    Fortunately, he was unharmed.


    After the darkness.


    A hazy starlight appeared before his eyes, and soon his figure emerged beneath a dazzling gxy.


    Looking up at the night sky, the stars seemed within reach.


    Gazing at the outline of the massive city below, a faint smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s face: "Is this the Human Realm?"


    At this thought.


    His mind moved, and he decisively released the five peerless beauties from his Minor World: Hong Luan, Bai Zhi, Zi Yan, Xue Wu, and Fei Yan.


    Seeing that they had returned to the Human Realm, the five beauties cried tears of joy.


    They never dared to dream they could truly leave the Demon Realm.


    Xu Wendong smiled: "Ladies, all good things muste to an end; let’s part ways here!"


    The five beauties wiped away their tears, embraced Xu Wendong affectionately, and then flew toward the massive city below.


    Although they had shared weal and woe with Xu Wendong, this rtionship was somewhat unpleasant to recall for them.


    Now, leaving the Demon Realm and returning to the mortal world, they all wanted to start anew.


    Hong Luan did not hurriedly depart but said to Xu Wendong: "Young Master Xu, there are hundreds of Cultivation Countries in the Human Realm, and the Taoist Sect is in a First-Level Cultivation Country."


    "You are new to the Human Realm; you should choose a Cultivation Country and gain citizenship for that country!"


    "Only in this way can you take the Large Transmission Formation to reach the Shangqing Country."


    "If you rashly enter another Cultivation Country by flying, you’ll be crushed by a nation!"


    Xu Wendong nodded slightly; he had already learned about the power divisions in the Human Realm from Hong Luan and the others.


    There are over a hundred Cultivation Countries in the Human Realm, divided into levels one to three.


    Level three is the weakest, and level one is the strongest.


    "We should meet again sometime, right?" Hong Luan’s eyes shed with reluctance.


    Xu Wendongughed: "I believe we will."


    Then Hong Luan told Xu Wendong somemon rules of the mundane world.


    "My real name is Hongying; I am from Yaohua Country!" The woman smiled faintly, then disappeared from Xu Wendong’s sight.


    Xu Wendong’s lips curled into a bitter smile.


    He knew.


    The others probably also had real names, but they didn’t reveal them to the world.


    However, this was unimportant.


    After all, there was no foundational emotional connection between them, even if they were forced into rtionships in the Demon Race.


    The only one truly sentimentally attached to him was Hongying.


    Otherwise, she wouldn’t have told him her real name before parting.


    "Yaohua Country... If there’s a chance, I’ll visit you."


    Xu Wendong memorized Hongying’s background and then flew toward the massive city below.


    Although night had fallen, the city was bustling, with Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators everywhere to be seen.


    Frankly speaking, they were asmon as dirt.


    After inquiries, Xu Wendong arrived at the government office, where reportedly one could apply to be a citizen of the ckwater Kingdom.


    "Go, go, go, y somewhere else; do you, a Foundation Establishment Stage ant, dream of bing a citizen of the ckwater Kingdom? Are you worthy?"


    When Xu Wendong stated his purpose, he was immediately mocked by the staff.


    People nearby also said: "Indeed, if your cultivation level were higher, it might be possible to make you a citizen of the ckwater Kingdom, but with your Foundation Establishment cultivation level, what qualifies you to join the ckwater Kingdom?"


    "What benefits can you bring to our ckwater Kingdom?"


    Xu Wendong was extremely embarrassed.


    He didn’t expect to be despised upon arriving in the Human Realm.


    He said: "I know alchemy."


    Upon hearing this.


    The two Nascent Soul Stage staff frowned, without looking up to Xu Wendong because he imed he knew alchemy.


    In fact, their eyes even showed a chilling coldness: "Do you, a Foundation Establishment Stage ant, think that knowing how to make elixirs matters? Can you create high-level elixirs?"


    "Go, go, go, get out of here, don’t disturb our cultivation!"


    Seeing that the two were somewhat inconsiderate, Xu Wendong had no choice but to leave because, as a nationality-less loose cultivator, angering the other side would certainly be troublesome.


    The Human Realm was filled with hundreds of countries, and cultivators could be found everywhere. A cultivator without nationality was as lowly as an ant.


    "I can only try to join a family first; once I establish myself in a certain family, obtaining ckwater Kingdom citizenship would not be difficult."


    After leaving the government office, Xu Wendong found an inn to stay and also inquired about the happenings in Heishui City.


    Heishui City had four top aristocratic families that controlled the economy of the ckwater Kingdom.


    By coincidence, tomorrow the Lu Family is recruiting alchemists.


    If he can be an alchemist for the Lu Family, not only could his identity rise, but he could also easily obtain ckwater Kingdom citizenship.


    At the same time.


    Xu Wendong also learned about the ranking of alchemists in the Human Realm.


    From level one to nine, and beyond nine is Grandmaster.


    Grandmaster-level alchemists are rare within the Human Race.


    "With my current strength, I dare not speak too highly, but I must have at least the strength of a fifth-level alchemist."


    Xu Wendong was quite confident in his strength.


    A night passed without incident.


    The next day.


    He went straight to a pawnshop, using two hundred medium-grade spirit stones to purchase an alchemy furnace.


    Although he had the Golden Crow Furnace, Xu Wendong had heard from Hong Luan that spiritual artifacts are exceptionally rare, even in the Human Realm.


    For this reason, he bought a magic artifact pill furnace.


    After all, his strength was still too weak.


    Openly taking out a spiritual artifact pill furnace could likely lead to him being killed.


    After buying the pill furnace, Xu Wendong headed directly to the Lu Family.


    As one of the top four aristocratic families in the ckwater Kingdom, the Lu Family’s open recruitment of alchemists drew much attention within the ckwater Kingdom.


    Sure enough.


    Arge number of cultivators were already gathered at the Lu Family’s gate early in the morning, all here to apply to be alchemists for the Lu Family.


    However, Xu Wendong was surprised to see that these alchemists’ cultivation levels were not high.


    <fn1cf8> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FιndNovel</fn1cf8>


    The most powerful was no more than at the Golden Core Stage; there wasn’t a single Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.


    This made him feel incredulous.


    Are alchemists really so scarce?


    Or do senior alchemists simply disdain the benefits and treatment offered by the Lu Family?


    At this moment.


    A beautiful woman in a white dress, with delicate features and an extraordinary demeanor, stepped out.


    Her tall and slim figure, fair skin, and attractive appearance were marked by a touch of poignant mncholy and helplessness between her brows.


    Next to her, the old butlermented: "Miss, the Zhao Family has cut off our livelihood; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many mediocre cultivators here today. The Zhao Family wants to make aughingstock of our Lu Family in Heishui City!"
