Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 351 News of the Wind City Lord and Top-Tier Dragon Marrow
When the tavern owner heard about the 100,000 jin of ore, his body trembled with excitement.

He gripped the bag tightly, carefully opened it, and looked at one corner. Sure enough, he found a mountain of source material inside, and it wasn't just any source material; it was a different kind of source material!

Its total value absolutely exceeds 100,000 jin of pure source!
100,000 jin would be enough to buy this entire tavern, let alone the fact that only a few cave dwellings have been destroyed so far.

The broken cave dwelling is easy to repair. After all, it is only an internal cave dwelling, which is vastly different from the small worlds opened up by ancient sages. The cost is also much smaller.

Of course, the most important thing is not the 100,000 jin of raw materials, but that the person who made the move said that he was willing to take responsibility for it and that they could contact him later!

Someone who can casually throw out more than 100,000 jin of energy is no ordinary person.

"Thank you, Young Master Wang Teng! Thank you, Young Master Wang Teng!"

The restaurant owner spoke excitedly, clutching the bag tightly in his arms as if it were his lifeblood.

Those watching from a distance were taken aback when they heard the name, then instantly realized what it meant.

"Wang Teng? That Wang Teng from the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness? He really came to the Central Plains?"

Someone spoke in shock.

However, he was soon reminded by someone next to him, "Wang Teng is not from the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, he is from the Northern Plains!"

"Pretty much, since we're both in the far north anyway, why did he suddenly come to the Central Plains?"

Someone asked, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Having heard that Wang Teng recently survived the tribulation of the Dragon Transformation Realm and has broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, he should be in Zhongzhou looking for dragon marrow to continue his cultivation and breakthrough, right?"

Someone nearby continued to speak.

For ordinary people, such matters that often involve crossing large geographical areas are irrelevant to them, and they have no way of obtaining information about them.

However, for those who are practicing spiritual cultivation, such matters do not even require their deliberate attention.

Matters concerning Tianjiao always spread faster than other things.

Even if they don't pay special attention, they can hear many legends. For example, Wang Teng once survived the Heavenly Tribulation in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, he survived the tribulation twice in a row, killing six powerful beings during the Heavenly Tribulation, including one powerful assassin from the mortal world!
Furthermore, with the strength of the Dragon Transformation Realm, it withstood the attack of a top-tier expert!

These events are like fairy tales to the younger generation. Other young people could become leaders in a region and have enough to be proud of if they could accomplish just one of them. But if all of these things happened to Wang Teng, it would not be a matter of whether he had the ability to be proud. He could lead the younger generation to become the strongest!

With such a powerful figure arriving in Zhongzhou, a dark cloud seemed to hang over the heads of the younger generation there.

With just Wang Teng's record, who wouldn't be confused?

"Wang Teng is here! Quickly, notify the other forces! Notify the other prodigies!"

"Wang Teng is here. Is Zhongzhou about to descend into chaos?!"

"Notify other forces and powerful figures that the so-called most powerful prodigy in the Eastern Wilderness and Northern Plains has arrived. Let's see if those princes of the dynasties and the prodigies of the Hundred Schools of Thought have the confidence to challenge Wang Teng!"

"Wang Teng is here. Has the peace in Zhongzhou, which has lasted for so long, finally been broken?"

Wang Teng's arrival caused a stir throughout the entire Central Plains.

At first, only the small town where Wang Teng lived knew about his arrival.

But this matter was destined to be impossible to keep secret.

Wang Teng's reputation is simply too great!
It was so large that it attracted countless people's attention as soon as it appeared in Zhongzhou.

Wang Teng hadn't even left that city yet, but news about him had already spread almost throughout the entire Central Continent! All the major immortal dynasties and schools of thought in the Central Continent, anyone with a bit of power, had already learned that Wang Teng had arrived in the Central Continent.

Some people are speculating about the authenticity of the story, while others are considering how to deal with Wang Teng, and still others are wondering if Wang Teng is really as miraculous as the legends suggest.

In the Jiuli Dynasty, an imperial decree was issued to find the most beautiful princess.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, someone specifically requested that Xia Yiming return immediately.

……

Wang Teng had not yet left that city.

He changed locations to bid farewell to Xia Jiuyou's protectors.

“Young friend, coming to Zhongzhou will surely lead you to soar to great heights and surpass everyone else!” Xia Jiuyou’s protector said.

This wasn't just a casual remark; it truly came from the bottom of my heart.

The more you learn about Wang Teng, the more you realize how terrifying he is!
Outsiders only know Wang Teng for his strength, but after getting to know him, they can understand that in addition to his strength, Wang Teng's strength lies in his magnanimity, temperament, and vision, which surpasses his peers.

The fact that Wang Teng could say almost exactly the same things as his master was enough to prove everything.

"Rather than surpassing everyone, I hope to get to know everyone. That way, my trip to Zhongzhou will not have been in vain," Wang Teng said with a smile.

It should be noted that when he first learned that he had come to the world of Shrouding the Heavens, his first desire was not to become the strongest, but simply to survive. However, things did not turn out as he expected. In addition to surviving, he also became the strongest, crushing everyone of his generation and realm.

However, compared to that, Wang Teng did indeed hope to get to know everyone, to make everyone his good friend and brother, so that he would have no enemies in the future.

Wang Teng is currently working towards this goal. Some people have already succeeded, but others seem unwilling. Wang Teng is also constantly forcing others. His main principle is: either you take the initiative, or I will force you to take the initiative.

"Hahaha, young friend, you are indeed a remarkable person. Your talent and temperament surpass those of your peers." Xia Jiuyou's protector said, "My young master and I are traveling in the Central Plains. We may encounter some crises in the future. At that time, we may ask you for help. I hope you can put aside past grievances and lend a helping hand."

Wang Teng nodded upon hearing this.

Of course, he also knew that with Xia Jiuyou's strength, the strength of his protectors, and the power behind him, the other party would definitely not encounter any crisis in Zhongzhou.

In the current world of Shrouding the Heavens, not to mention other places, just in the Big Dipper, the only people who can readily summon powerful individuals who are not sealed are Wang Teng and Xia Jiuyou.

One of them has the backing of an ancient forbidden land, capable of summoning ancient sages or even those with perfected holy bodies at any time; the other is a ruthless emperor who is infinitely close to a mortal immortal.

One of them has a quasi-emperor behind him, and his strength is immense.

Xia Jiuyou's power and background are comparable to those of the ancient princes, and even the ancient families and holy lands cannot compare to him.

With such strength and background, how could they possibly encounter a crisis in Zhongzhou?
Xia Jiuyou's protector said this only to get closer to Wang Teng and facilitate future contact.

Wang Teng, naturally, wouldn't spoil the mood and readily agreed.

"Alright, then I won't disturb you any longer, young friend. I'm leaving with my young master. I wish you continued success and that you will continue to write your invincible legend in Zhongzhou." Xia Jiuyou's protector said, bidding farewell to Wang Teng with a smile.

After Xia Jiuyou's protector took her away, Wang Teng was finally able to properly observe the local customs and culture of Zhongzhou.

However, news of his arrival in Zhongzhou was still leaked, and many people in this city alone were searching for him and paying attention to him.

This time, Wang Teng traveled alone without any protectors, and he did not conceal his presence, so he was quickly noticed by others.

The city lord personally invited Wang Teng to be his guest.

Wang Teng didn't stand on ceremony and went to the banquet alone.

The City Lord's Mansion was located in the most prosperous central area of ​​the city. When Wang Teng arrived, some young prodigies had already taken their seats there. Some of them had quite high cultivation levels, already in the late stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, which would barely qualify them as Saint Sons in the Eastern Wilderness.

And here, there were quite a few of them. In just one city, there were seven or eight such people, and they were sitting at the same table.

At the head of the table sat the city lord, a middle-aged man who looked to be only in his thirties. His cultivation had reached the Sendai Secret Realm, making him an undisputed powerhouse. Even in his own time, he would have been a renowned prodigy.

Upon seeing Wang Teng's arrival, the city lord warmly rose and led seven geniuses from the Four Extremes Secret Realm to greet him.

"I was unaware of your arrival in this city, young friend. I apologize for any shortcomings in my hospitality and hope you will forgive me." The city lord stood up, opened his arms, and strode over to warmly welcome Wang Teng, leading him to the main seat.

To be honest, Wang Teng was somewhat flattered by this treatment.

The city lord was far too warm and courteous. As a powerful figure from the Sendai Secret Realm, he actually took the initiative to greet Wang Teng from so far away and even arranged for Wang Teng to sit in the main seat while he himself sat to the side.

If everyone in other male-oriented novels had this awareness, there wouldn't be so many villains.

"Senior is too kind. I was just passing through and didn't expect to be treated with such courtesy." Wang Teng smiled and remained humble and respectful in the face of the city lord's enthusiasm and courtesy.

"Hahahaha, just as the rumors say, young friend is indeed a low-key person!" The city lord laughed.

"I invited you here today not because I have any requests, but simply because I wish to get to know you," the city lord said with a smile.

With just a few words, Wang Teng could roughly tell that the middle-aged man in front of him had a carefree personality and liked to make many friends.

"Let me introduce you. These are all renowned prodigies in our city. This is Gu Shuo, a prince of a dynasty from the Gu family. He is currently at the Four Extremes Realm, but he can still hold his own against cultivators who have just entered the Dragon Transformation Realm." The city lord began, introducing the other people at the table to Wang Teng.

The person being introduced was a young man, who looked to be in his early twenties. He had striking features and was exceptionally handsome. When he stood up to greet Wang Teng, he had a perfectly timed smile on his face.

"Brother Gu," Wang Teng greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Wang!" Gu Shuo was flattered and quickly stood up to greet Wang Teng warmly.

"This is..." The city lord said with a smile, continuing to introduce the other people to Wang Teng.

Everyone introduced greeted Wang Teng with a smile and enthusiasm.

There was no one who was dissatisfied with Wang Teng and whose words were full of sarcasm. The people who were able to sit here, besides being powerful, also had another characteristic: they were very smart.

They had all heard of Wang Teng's legends, and none of them were foolish enough to question those legends or ask him directly.

"Thank you, City Lord, for allowing us to see the true face of my brother!"

"To the City Lord! To Brother Wang!"

At the banquet, a group of people spoke up, holding their wine glasses, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"Let's toast young friend Wang Teng first. He has come all the way from the Northern Plains. As a guest, this cup should be offered to young friend Wang Teng." The city lord also stood up, holding a wine cup, and said.

"Yes, yes! Brother Jing!" a group of people exclaimed.

The entire city lord's mansion seemed to be infected by this lively atmosphere.

Many people got drunk that night, and everyone had a great time. Even Wang Teng was forced to drink quite a bit by this group of friendly locals.

Although it was their first meeting, these geniuses from Zhongzhou were all very familiar with each other. When they were drinking, they were very friendly and immediately tried to establish a relationship with Wang Teng. Before long, they had drunk several cups of wine.

As a result, Wang Teng was slightly tipsy by the end.

Wang Teng slowly woke up the next day.

During his slumber, he was naturally guarded. The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God silently watched Wang Teng and the others drinking heartily, with a smile on his face like that of an old father.

He seemed to see Luan Gu in Wang Teng, but Wang Teng surpassed Luan Gu.

If Luan Gu had had Wang Teng's excellent interpersonal skills and communication abilities back then, he wouldn't have been hunted down so badly.

Wang Teng always gave Luan Gu Di Bing a feeling that when he looked at Wang Teng, it was as if he was looking at Luan Gu, or as if he was looking at someone who had surpassed Luan Gu.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon knew that he truly regarded Wang Teng as the successor of Chaotic Ancient, and placed all his good expectations for Chaotic Ancient on Wang Teng. That's why he felt this way. Therefore, he was willing to protect Wang Teng and never hesitated to tell Wang Teng things that were considered secrets by many powerful people.

When Wang Teng woke up, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the large number of people lying on the ground in the city lord's mansion.

"I thought everyone could drink a lot, but it turns out they're all pretty weak."

The group of people in front of him were all lying crookedly, even the city lord sitting on the east side was fast asleep, with another prodigy's leg propped up on his head.

Wang Teng didn't disturb them, but simply cultivated silently to the side.

Wang Teng opened his eyes when most people had already woken up.

"Hahaha, I'm really sorry, my alcohol tolerance isn't very good, but I drank too much. Please forgive me, young friend." The City Lord of Fengcheng said with a smile. Although he said he was sorry, there was no embarrassment on his face. Instead, he still had a carefree smile.

“Brother Feng has a free and easy personality. I am very happy to be able to drink with you. It was my honor to be entertained last night,” Wang Teng said with a smile.

Communicating with someone like the Lord of Wind City is ultimately not too stressful, because the other party is easygoing and not petty.

“Alright! Now that we’ve met, our purpose has been achieved, and we won’t delay your travels any longer.” The City Lord of Fengcheng spoke generously.

“I see that you are currently at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and you are only one step away from the fourth level. You should need Dragon Marrow to assist your cultivation and breakthrough,” said the City Lord of Fengcheng.

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the group of young prodigies present changed slightly, and they were taken aback.

Although they could tell that Wang Teng was in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, given the difference in their strength compared to Wang Teng's, they couldn't discern the specific minor realm he was currently in. When the City Lord of Fengcheng said that Wang Teng was already in the third minor realm of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, they were all stunned.

Because if you go any further, you'll reach the fourth minor realm of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, which can be considered the middle stage of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. Even some people from the previous generation only reached this level.

While they are still struggling to become the leader of the younger generation, Wang Teng has already caught up with the previous generation. How can this not be astonishing?
"That's right, and to be honest, I'm almost unable to suppress my cultivation level, which is why I came to Zhongzhou in such a hurry." Wang Teng didn't hide anything.

He has indeed reached the peak of the third minor realm of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. Moreover, his foundation is incredibly solid. The methods commonly used in the outside world to suppress one's realm are useless against him. Even if he doesn't cultivate, his realm will continue to rise with each passing day.

"This... truly deserves to be called the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness and the Northern Plains!" The City Lord of Wind City exclaimed.

“I do have some inside information about the Dragon Marrow. Do you know about the Nine Li Dynasty?” the City Lord of Fengcheng asked.

"I know a little bit," Wang Teng pondered.

His so-called "knowing a little" really was just that—knowing a little. He only knew that the Jiuli Dynasty had once produced an ancient emperor and that it possessed the supreme imperial weapon, the Jiuli Diagram. Beyond that, he knew nothing.

"The Nine Li Dynasty recently received news of a top-grade dragon marrow and is currently sending people to search for it with all their might. If you are interested in dragon marrow, perhaps you can try your luck," the City Lord of Fengcheng said with a smile.

“Top-grade dragon marrow…” Wang Teng pondered the meaning behind it.

The city lord of Fengcheng had already been quite tactful. If Wang Teng wanted to obtain the top-grade dragon marrow, he would inevitably have to deal with the Jiuli Dynasty, and he might even have to snatch it from them.

However, Wang Teng was truly unwilling to miss out on the top-grade dragon marrow.

After all, he came to Zhongzhou to find dragon marrow to help him break through. Now that the news of top-grade dragon marrow is right in front of him, how could he miss it?
"Ahem, please enlighten me, Brother Feng," Wang Teng said with a smile.

The other prodigies left early on their own, saying goodbye to Wang Teng and the City Lord of Fengcheng before departing, leaving the space to Wang Teng and the City Lord of Fengcheng.

After everyone had left, the City Lord of Fengcheng spoke, "Young friend, do you know where the princes of the Nine Li Dynasty are at this moment?"
