Chapter 880: Gu Yuefan

Xiao Fan chatted with the Shopkeeper for a long time.

His purpose was to inquire if there was any way to enter the Heavenly God Palace's territory without being discovered.

But the results were not satisfactory…

And Xiao Fan didn't explicitly mention that he planned to enter by smuggling himself in.

"Brother, is it that you can never enter the Heavenly God Palace? Is it the same for the other nearby tribes?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Not entirely…"

The Shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the Heavenly God Palace's Nantian Gate holds regular Recruitment Assessments."

"Recruitment Assessment?!" Xiao Fan was stunned, clearly having never heard of it.

"Hehe… You didn't know, did you, guest… Actually, it's normal not to be aware."

"This Recruitment Assessment… is for Nantian Gate to hire its own guards… responsible for defending Nantian Gate."

"Of course… they don't just take anyone. You need to be under thirty years old and have strength reaching at least the Yuanhun Realm to participate in the assessment…"

"This kind of assessment happens every year, but the number of people accepted each time is small. With thousands of nearby tribes combined, it's lucky if a few dozen people make it in the end."

"Anyway, for our small village… there's no hope in this lifetime… we can't produce that kind of Genius…"

"…"

The Shopkeeper told Xiao Fan about another way to enter the Heavenly God Palace.

And that was this assessment…

Under thirty years old, reaching the Yuanhun Realm!

For a tribe like theirs where the Old Ancestor was only at the Pi Hai Realm, it was an almost impossible feat.

Only the other large tribes nearby could possibly Cultivate such a Genius.

Talent and strength were one thing, but without a massive accumulation of resources, it was impossible to Cultivate a young Prodigy.

"I see…"

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up; he felt that entering the Heavenly God Palace's territory through this method would be a good idea.

Beside him, Wei Zhongshan suddenly understood. So that was it…

"Brother, when is the next recruitment drive?"

"Uh… soon, I think in about ten days," the Shopkeeper said after a moment's thought.

These things weren't secrets, so there was no harm in telling Xiao Fan.

He was just curious: why were these two asking about this?

"Guest, may I ask who you are?" the Shopkeeper asked curiously.

In his mind, the Heavenly God Palace was a supreme existence… something he simply couldn't afford to provoke.

Naturally, he had never even considered the idea of sneaking in.

"Hehe… I'm just curious and asking around," Xiao Fan said with a wave of his hand.

"Oh, I see."

Next, Xiao Fan learned quite a bit more about the recruitment from the Shopkeeper.

This recruitment was actually a chance for the descendants of these tribes.

After all, even if it was just guarding the city gates of the Heavenly God Palace.

For people from a tribe like theirs, it was a high-ranking official position.

Even just guarding the gates of the Heavenly God Palace…

The entire tribe would also benefit from the prestige…

"Sigh… when will my Guyue Tribe produce such a hero?" the Shopkeeper sighed.

"Guyue Tribe…"

"It was the tribe's family name."

Xiao Fan smiled, chatted a bit more with the Shopkeeper, paid some Spirit Stones, and left.

"Guest, this, this is too much…"

The Shopkeeper was stunned; Xiao Fan had left him several hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones…

While the cost of his meal was only a few dozen Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

But he saw Xiao Fan wave his hand and leave without even turning around.

The information obtained from the Shopkeeper was very important.

After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Fan didn't leave the village; instead, he and Wei Zhongshan started wandering around.

Next, Xiao Fan took Wei Zhongshan to a wine shop and bought thousands of catties of the local fine wine.

It was all brewed using an ancient village recipe and tasted quite good…

Then he took Wei Zhongshan to a local cloth merchant.

The styles of clothing here were somewhat different from other places.

All the garments were composed of cloth strips of various colors…

They looked quite gaudy.

Xiao Fan bought several sets…

Next, Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan stayed here for three days.

At night, they stayed at a local inn and gained an understanding of the local customs.

Wei Zhongshan remained silent the whole time; he knew his big brother very well.

He knew that Xiao Fan intended to use the name of the Guyue Village to sneak into Nantian Gate.

Of course, he left everything to his big brother's arrangements.

Actually, in Wei Zhongshan's view…

Xiao Fan could have completely stayed in the palace, cultivated in peace, and waited until he became stronger before leaving.

He had never had any doubts about Xiao Fan's cultivation talent.

But who knew that for the sake of his woman, his big brother insisted on coming here.

Wei Zhongshan had experienced firsthand the dangers encountered along the way.

Even while hiding in the spirit beast bag, he was terrified…

The next day…

On the fourth day after arriving, Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan left…

After traveling several thousand miles away from the Guyue Tribe, both Xiao Fan and Wei Zhongshan changed their outfits.

They put on the attire of the Guyue Tribe.

The clothes made of various colored cloth strips made them both look quite comical.

"From now on, call me Gu Yuefan!!"
