Chapter 16: Stone Kingdom Capital
"Xiao Miao, you..."

Shi Yunfeng ran over from a distance, looking curiously at the silver-blue sword in Wang Miao's hand.

The sword was silver-white all over, with mysterious azure blue patterns winding on the sword. A trace of cold air fell on the ground, freezing a piece of weeds in an instant.

Wang Miao casually threw the sword back to Taiyin Cave Heaven and said casually:
"Hey, it's just a sharper sword. It's only useful for sneak attacks."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng rolled his eyes.

It's also sharper!
If he had not seen with his own eyes the sword cutting off thousands of pounds of flesh and blood of the ancient species, he would have believed it.

Xiao Miao must have secretly practiced advanced sword techniques...

But the sword is indeed sharp.

This time Shi Yunfeng really guessed wrong.

The sword that Wang Miao bought was of the same level as the black gold staff, both of which were inferior magic weapons.

At present, it is just sharp and solid.

Wang Miao uses it to cut the meat of ferocious beasts, and for sneak attacks in certain special situations.

It was just a special period.

This method was not officially revealed until Wang Miao broke through the innate realm.

The innate creatures who have achieved the success of qigong training are already able to control flying swords and other magical weapons and take people's heads from a thousand meters away.

That's when the sword will show its power.

After putting away the ancient relics, the two set out on their journey again.

On the way, Wang Miao took out the ancient relic bones from the system space.

The flesh and blood wrapped around the precious bones were directly roasted and eaten by the two men.

On the back of the scaly horse, Wang Miao was holding a piece of precious bone that was half a meter long and examining it carefully.

There was a gleam in his eyes, and a large number of runes gathered in his eyes.

After a while, he stretched out a hand.

Divine light diffused across his palm, and strands of divine light formed into runes.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of runes appeared.

Then, under Wang Miao's control, these runes began to form the appearance of an ancient species with a sheep's head and a beast's body and human arms.

Of course it doesn't matter.

Roar!
A roar came from the mouth of the Taotie made of runes, and then suction began to appear.

wow...

Runes disintegrate.

Runes flashed in Wang Miao's eyes as he quickly thought about what went wrong.

A few minutes later, he looked at the precious bone in his arms again.

The journey across the wilderness of tens of thousands of miles ended in this kind of comprehension simulation.

In the distance, a huge city appeared before their eyes.

Seeing this, the two men turned over and got off their horses.

The road ahead is not suitable for continuing to ride the scaly horse.

Although in the eyes of both of them, a scaly horse is just a scaly horse.

But in the eyes of others, the scaly horse may be a symbol of status and strength.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wang Miao and his companions decided to let the scale horse return to the wilderness.

As for whether these two scaly horses can return to the tribe...

That's not something they need to worry about.

After all, it was a blessing for the pig to escape from Zhang the Butcher alive. Do you dare to beg Zhang the Butcher to send the pig back to the pigsty?
So, when Wang Miao and the other man slapped their butts and drove them into the wilderness.

The two scaly horses ran away.

"It's so energetic!"

"Yeah, they have great endurance!"

"No, I mean the meat on the horse's leg must be very chewy!"

"..."

After entering the city, the two headed straight for the commercial street.

No matter which of them they are, they do not have the currency used by humans, so the first step to enter the human kingdom is to exchange currency.

After selling the corpses of several ferocious beasts in the Blood Moving Realm to a restaurant, Wang Miao and his companions obtained three hundred Jingbi.

But after the two of them changed into nice clothes, the one hundred precious jade pieces were gone.

"Black shop..."

After spending some precious jade to buy a map to the imperial capital of the Stone Kingdom, the two set off again.

……

A month later.

After a long journey, the two finally saw a corner of the Stone Kingdom's imperial capital.

The towering city walls are covered with terrifying array patterns.

Even if it is just a corner of the array pattern, it can easily kill a cultivator in the Blood Moving Realm.

Near the city gate, Wang Miao noticed the soldiers guarding on both sides.

Each of them is full of energy and vitality.

Obviously, they are all powerful people in the Blood Moving Realm who have achieved great success in their cultivation.

Behind the captain of the soldiers, five caves were floating, and a constant supply of essence nourished his body.

No wonder the people entering the city were so orderly, it turned out that there was a great monk from the Cave Heaven Realm guarding here.

Moreover, Wang Miao also sensed a looming gaze sweeping over him. He raised his head and looked in the direction where the gaze came from.

He discovered that he was a commander wearing golden armor, with a serious expression and great majesty.

Noticing that Wang Miao was looking at him, he just glanced at him and ignored her.

Just a small cultivator in the Cave Heaven Realm.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, in charge of the safety of one-quarter of the city wall.

This is the high regard that His Majesty the Stone Emperor has for him, and he must not slack off.

After seeing the leader of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Wang Miao secretly compared the other party's aura with the aura of the jade talisman.

This made him even more certain that the Xiantian Realm was comparable to the Linghua Realm.

After handing over twenty fine jades, the two entered the imperial capital.

Inside and outside the imperial capital are like two completely different worlds.

Various hawking sounds in the city came one after another, but in an orderly manner.

As he walked along, Wang Miao discovered that many stall owners had cultivation skills, and their skills were quite strong.

But no one relied on their skills to make loud noises and attract customers to their stalls.

Even most of the people in the shops on both sides are monks.

But there is one thing I have to say.

The cost of living in the imperial capital is really expensive.

The two of them had less than two hundred Jingbi coins left, which was barely enough for a day's food and lodging.

Here, Wang Miao deeply felt what it meant that poor people did not deserve to live.

But fortunately he is not really a poor guy.

……

"Xiao Miao, I've always wanted to ask, why did we come to the Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom?"

"There are so many strong people here. Even if we join them, I'm afraid we won't be valued!"

Shi Yunfeng asked in confusion.

Of course, Wang Miao would not tell him that he wanted to sign in.

He glanced at the sign-in progress and said:

"Brother Yunfeng, when we practice cultivation, we can't just focus on the small piece of land in front of us. We need to look further ahead and have higher ambitions!"

"Just like this Imperial Capital of the Stone Nation, if I hadn't brought you here, could you have felt the deep resentment?"

“Without goals and motivation, how can you reach the top?”

“Only when you have seen the vastness of the world will you want to compete with it.”

"Okay, Brother Yunfeng, let's take a good look at this imperial capital today, feel how magnificent the city where the Supreme Human Emperor lives is, and also get a taste of the Stone Emperor's luck."

"We will leave tomorrow and go to the Butian Pavilion to learn from a master. When we come back next time, you and I will definitely be strong men."

After that, the two of them started to stroll around.

Wang Miao was not lying to Shi Yunfeng when he said he was going to Butian Pavilion, he really had this idea.

Anyway, his purpose of going out to the wilderness this time was to join a big force and learn scriptures and magic.

It doesn’t matter whether you go to Butian Pavilion or Zhulu Academy.

At worst, I can go to Zhulu Academy to learn from him later.

The reason why I chose Butian Pavilion was purely out of curiosity about this place.

He also wanted to see what the Butian Pavilion looked like before it was destroyed.

As for bringing Shi Yunfeng along, it was purely because he wanted to see if he could change the fate of others.

According to the original trajectory, Shi Yunfeng and a group of people from Shi Village walked out of the wilderness. After experiencing unknown dangers, they returned to Shi Village with some cultivation scriptures. However, only Shi Yunfeng returned alive at that time, but he was seriously injured and his life span was greatly reduced.

Wang Miao just wanted to see what would happen if he intervened and led Shi Yunfeng to join the Butian Pavilion.

Will things continue to develop along the original trajectory?

He even wanted to know what would happen decades later when Shi Ziling and his wife brought Shi Hao, whose supreme bone had been dug out, to Shi Village, where there were kings and even Venerables in charge.

Will Qin Hao be born?
Wang Miao didn’t know, but he now felt like he had discovered something pretty good.

After the two separated, Wang Miao controlled his facial muscles to change his appearance.

The handsome young man turned into a skinny, malnourished man in the blink of an eye.

As he walked, he came to the grocery area.

There are vendors setting up stalls everywhere. Some sell antiques, some sell broken weapons, and some sell everything, some even mixed with minerals.

Wang Miao naturally couldn't tell which ones were treasures.

But he couldn't tell the difference, isn't there a system?
So he randomly found a stall and picked up the items one by one to sell to the system.

As a result, most of them are fakes.

Occasionally there were nice things, but they were not what Wang Miao needed, and he could not afford the price the stall owner offered.

But you know what, he actually found a treasure.

It was a small red gourd the size of a palm.

In the system evaluation, it is worth 4800 merit points, which is definitely a good thing.

The most important thing is that the stall owner only sells it for fifty fine jades.

It’s so profitable!

Wang Miao bought it immediately.

Then he quickly left the grocery area. He wanted to go back and see what was so special about this small gourd that it was worth 4800 merit points.

However, Wang Miao, who was in a hurry to leave, did not notice that there was a dark shadow following him from a distance.
