Chapter 53 The Wild Gate


    Jiangdong Province, Donghai City, 9 am.


    A plane landed in exchange and stopped at Donghai Airport. After the boarding bridge was set up, the cabin door was opened and the passengers walked out with their luggage.


    Luo Jun, who was carrying his schoolbag, was also among them.


    A week has passed since the exam ended. Five days ago, he received the school’s admission notice. As expected, just like what Mr. Yuan said, Song Yi saw through his concealment, but did not make things difficult for him.


    The admission notice also states that ordinary people who do not understand vital energy and beginners who are in a solid foundation can use the three months before the start of school to go to Ningdong University to improve vital energy and have special teachers to guide them.


    Of course, if you are unwilling to do it, you can also move on your own, but after school starts, the school’s classes and courses will not be as caring for students with low levels as they did during the exam. At that time, those who do not have enough vitality will have the risk of falling behind.


    Luo Jun naturally did not choose to go to school to study, because his master Yuan Shouzhen had arranged more difficult courses for him.


    Jiangdong Province is one of the most economically developed regions in Zhendan. As the capital of Donghai City, it is also one of the most modern metropolis in China. It is a world of difference compared to Ningdong City, which is a third-tier city. However, Mr. Yuan arranged a trip too tight, and Luo Jun had no time to appreciate the modern atmosphere of Donghai City. He didn''t even leave the airport, so he took the subway and headed to Dongwan Wharf to catch the ferry at 10:30 in the morning to Lingyun Island.


    Lingyun Island is located in the East China Sea of ??Zhendan, more than 80 nautical miles away from Donghai City, covering an area of ??more than 50 square kilometers, and has a permanent population of about 30,000.


    From the map, this is an inconspicuous island, with no famous specialties, and no beautiful scenery. In today''s information age, the residents of the island are still low-key and closed. Even the nearest Donghai City, few people know this island.


    I heard that this island seems very xenophobic. The residents of the island spontaneously form patrols. Fishermen who go out to sea in other places will be warned to be expelled if they accidentally approach the island.


    Even the ferry that travels once a day is operated by Lingyun Island itself. Apart from this, there is no way to get close to this island.


    The reason is that Lingyun Island is an island that is only open to practitioners of vital energy.


    Luo Jun left the subway and came to Dongwan Pier. He found the ferry schedule. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn''t find the ferry flight to Lingyun Island. When asked about the ticket office, there was no ticket to Lingyun Island at all.


    "Nothing is there either..." Luo Jun looked through the ticket information on his mobile phone and muttered: "Master also said that as long as he arrived at the dock, he could find it at a glance. There was no timetable, where can I find it?"


    After passing the security check with doubts and entering the waiting hall, Luo Jun''s eyes swept across the major boarding entries lined up, and soon his eyes were attracted by an inconspicuous boarding entries in the corner.


    Compared with other spacious and eye-catching boarding ports, this small port is unique. It does not display flight information, does not have a large screen, does not have a uniform ticket checking staff, and even the door is half smaller than others. It looks broken and old, and there is no ticket checking gate. There is only a little old lady blocking the door, reviewing a ticket and allowing one person to go.


    At first glance, I would probably regard this as the door of the toilet.


    The reason why Luo Jun can notice this among the many grand ticket checkers is because there are several huge words of light shining above this inconspicuous ticket checker:


    "Come here from Lingyun Island!"


    The word "light" is composed of vital energy, which ordinary people cannot see and pay attention to here. However, vital energy practitioners can be attracted at first sight.


    As for the one who maintained the word "light", it was the old lady who checked the ticket at the door.


    Able to release vital energy, at least in the Peiyuan Realm, being able to use vital energy to write such large and complex words and maintain it, which means that the energy and control skills are very high. This old lady looks inconspicuous, but she is actually a master.


    Luo Jun also walked over and showed the boat ticket to the old man. The old lady scanned the machine in her hand, and after confirming that it was correct, she let him go.


    After passing the ticket gate, we came to a special passage, which seemed to be in the same direction as ordinary tourists. Luo Jun walked forward all the way and waited for the passage to appear in front of him.


    From the naked eye, it seems to be no different from an ordinary ferry, but under Luo Jun''s vision, you can see the faint fluctuations of vitality on this ship.


    Luo Jun’s first reaction was that this was the vitality emitted by the passengers of the ferry. But soon he realized that something was wrong. Even a practitioner above the Peiyuan realm would save energy and hide his breath in a non-combat state, at most he would only cover a thin layer of qi on his body surface, and he could not scatter outside the hull.


    Especially when Luo Jun boarded the ship, he could clearly feel that the fluctuations covered by the ship were very thick and stable, and it was likely from the devices on the ship to protect the hull.


    That''s a bit amazing. If you want to cover such a huge hull and maintain a certain intensity, the consumption of vital energy is absolutely terrifying. Regardless of whether you can collect so much vital energy, just a device that can store huge amounts of vital energy is at least a legendary treasure.


    This is the foundation of the "door"...


    After finding his seat, Luo Jun looked at the almost full cabin and remembered the teacher''s instructions yesterday. "Three days later, it will be the day when the Wild Gate is opened. I have booked a ticket to Lingyun Island for you. If you get off the plane, take the subway to the pier, and you can get to Lingyun Island by boat."


    "The Gate of the Wild? No, Master, I haven''t even entered the school until now, so I''m going to send me to another world?"


    "You''ve been there before." Yuan Shouzhen snorted coldly: "Compared with the chaos mission of Class B, the wilderness is a relatively gentle world."


    "Really or false?" Luo Jun said disbelief: "I read the posts in the forum. The wild world is full of monsters, but it is not gentle at all."


    "You can''t write all the posts online, just watch the fun!" Old Yuan said seriously: "I''ve been shopping for training before, but I haven''t told you about the "door" matters. I just took this opportunity to teach you a good lesson."


    "At present, there are three ''gate''s'' in the territory of Zhendan. According to their characteristics, the world behind the door is called [Wu Lin], [Supernatural] and [Wild] respectively."


    "The gate of [Wulin] is located deep in Ningyuan Mountain, which is why, inconspicuous city in Ningdong has an Explorer Academy."


    "The gate of [Supernatural] is located in Mount Puhua, southwest of Zhendan, where there is also an Explorer Academy."


    "These two doors are under the jurisdiction of the association and are officially controlled."


    "As for the third [Wild] gate, it is located in Lingyun Island, and it is in the hands of the private person."


    "Can you even have a door in your personal control?" Luo Jun said in surprise.


    "The doors appeared one after another more than a hundred years ago. The doors that appeared on the mainland were quickly controlled by the government after causing riots. However, Lingyun Island was isolated overseas. When the door was known to the outside world, the islanders had been exploring the door for many years and accumulated a deep foundation."


    "The government also tried to regain the jurisdiction of the sect, but it was fiercely resisted by the islanders. Most of them mastered their vitality through exploration of the wilderness, and coupled with the advantage of geographical advantages, they became a force that cannot be underestimated."


    "After several frictions, the government and the islanders reached an agreement. The gate was under the jurisdiction of the islanders, but the government needed to disclose the information inside the gate, and the resources obtained from the gate must be handed over a certain proportion. The government will also sponsor and support the islanders'' exploration behavior... Later, entering modern society, this agreement was revised several times, but in short, Lingyun Island retained jurisdiction over the wilderness gate."


    "I didn''t expect there would be such a history..." Luo Jun nodded: "Master, since that''s the case, why don''t I go to the other two doors under the jurisdiction of the association? Will there be no trouble in places with local snakes?"


    "After so many years of development, Lingyun Island has been well-managed and will not make things difficult for outsiders." Yuan Shouzhen explained: "And more importantly, Lingyun Island, as an unofficial organization, does not have that strict review of explorers. As long as you pay according to their rules, they will not care what you do in the wilderness and will not delve into your background and identity. This is more convenient for you."


    "Is it really appropriate to let people go to another world like this?"


    Luo Jun remembers that Mr. Yuan said that the "door" is only more conspicuous in the main world. From the other side, the "door" is almost completely transparent and very hidden. Therefore, all the current sects are first discovered and controlled by humans, and then use this to quietly explore the other world. None of the known alien worlds knows the existence of the main world.


    Therefore, the screening of explorers in other worlds is very strict. One of the major criteria is the ability to keep secrets. For this reason, the association has even developed relevant secret techniques to restrict explorers from revealing information about the main world.


    But the Lingyun Island gate gave up money, so why don’t you be afraid of being informed by the main world?


    "There is no need to worry about this at all." Old Yuan smiled: "Because the wild world is a primitive world full of monsters, and there is no civilization at all."


    …


    "A primitive world of monsters everywhere..." My thoughts returned to reality, Luo Jun looked at the other passengers in the ferry: "In this case, the danger is not only from monsters, but also from bulk explorers who come for profit..."


    Most of these passengers can see a faint qi on their bodies, at least they all started in the Peiyuan realm. But apart from that, they look no different from ordinary people.


    Practitioners should live in reality and don’t dress too much. For example, the one sitting next to Luo Jun is a pretty old man.


    "Young man, go hunting in the wilderness?" The old man looked over sixty years old, with a loose hull vest on his upper body, a pair of thick cloth shorts above the knee, and a pair of slippers on his feet. He looked like the cool-lasting master who could be seen everywhere at the entrance of the village.


    "Yes." Luo Jun replied with a smile: "This is the first time I''ve been there. Uncle, you are very experienced at first sight. Is there anything you can teach to the junior?"


    "The young man is quite good at talking." The vest man smiled and said, "The first time I went there, you must have never registered with the Wild Hunter Guild?"
