The Science of Cultivation

Chapter 290: Guests from Afar

Li Lang nibbled on some biscuits as he listened to the young lady of the Yan family regale tales of recent events within the province of Vermillion Dragon. His attention was divided between the new information and the fine assortment of snacks that were made from Earth-grade ingredients. It was an extravagant meal for him the last time he visited, but now with the Crucible, it was something he could afford to eat every day if he so wished.

Thick metal chains deeply entrenched in the cliff walls could be seen hoisting an entire island up. The scene boggled Li Lang’s mind, as he tried to calculate the strength of those supports in order to be able to suspend such a massive chunk of the land in the air.
