Chapter 543: Trouble Comes Knocking

Tang Longfei was left speechless. He had not expected that a medicinal cuisine was something unavailable for sale. What kind of restaurant would this be then? Of course, he did not dare to voice his thoughts. This was the Dragon Phoenix Academy, not the Bloodsin City he came from.

Xiang Shaoyun explained, "Since it is a medicinal cuisine, it requires a large amount of medicinal herbs. Also, the process of medicinal mixing is very troublesome. This is not the kind of meal you can have at demand. At least we get to have a few days of free meals here. After the test, I reckon we will need to pay a high price to get a meal like this."

"Since you knew it was a medicinal cuisine, why didn't you remind me? Spit out everything you ate!" Tang Longfei grumbled jokingly.

Xiang Shaoyun retched for a bit before saying, "Even if I can spit it out, would you dare to eat it?"

As they joked around, someone came issuing their room numbers. They would be staying at the rear part of the restaurant. After the meal, they headed toward the restaurant's rear court.

They found that the rear court was incredibly massive. It was akin to a village with a large number of buildings littered everywhere, and was the temporary place of residence for these geniuses. Only the rich and imposing Dragon Phoenix Academy could provide such luxurious lodging to their test candidates.

Of course, that was understandable. The test candidates were the young geniuses from all parts of the dominion. Any of them could grow into a powerful tyrant in the future. Thus, it wasn't weird for the Dragon Phoenix Academy to accord them decent treatment. That way, even those who fail to get through the test would still have a favorable impression of the academy.

After taking a look at their lodging, Xiang Shaoyun's group left to take a stroll around the city. The city looked like any other city, but it was filled with various stores selling everything a cultivator would ever need. The products sold were of a higher level than what was available at the Bloodsin City.

Looking at everything being sold, they were filled with the desire to shop. However, they held back and did not purchase anything. They would first get through the test before thinking of anything else. After spending about half a day to get a general idea of the situation within the city, they returned to the restaurant. The restaurant was packed with people waiting for dinner to be served.

With some difficulty, Xiang Shaoyun's group found some empty seats at a corner and sat down. But they were barely seated when someone shouted at them, "Scram. My young master has this place booked."

Xiang Shaoyun glanced over and saw that the newcomer was a black-clothed man of about 30 years old. He had a handsome appearance and was dressed in bright armor. With a ferocious look in his eyes, he glared at Xiang Shaoyun's group.

Behind him was a group of people. One of them looked younger, at an age of about 20 years old. He had a decently handsome angular face and was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, with several glossy jade rings on his fingers. His eyes were filled with arrogance. Without a doubt, he was the leader of the group.

Tang Longfei snorted coldly, "We were here first. You guys should be the ones to scram."

"Hehe, we are doing you a favor asking for your seats. Do you know who my young master is?" said the man in black with a sneer.

"I am not interested in knowing. If you have the guts, feel free to create trouble here," said Tang Longfei provocatively.

"Very well...," said the man in black with fury on his face.

The gorgeously dressed young man behind him said indifferently, "Let's go. We will remember this for the future."

He then gave
