"Elder Zhuang..."
Zhang Yong walked up to ___ in a daze. His eyes were serious, and there was a slight trace of worry in the depths of his eyes.
"Alright, alright. Let's go. We will talk about it when we reach His Majesty. This is not appropriate."
The old man called Elder Zhuang let out a long sigh and followed Zhang Yong to the carriage.
The carriage continued to set off. After this farce, everyone in the carriage was still in a state of shock. All of them lowered their heads and had their own thoughts.
Of course, what shocked them was not the so-called criminals.
...
After Yang Xuan returned to the carriage, he no longer paid attention to the commotion outside.
He basically believed what the old man said. First of all, the old man had been waiting at the side. It wasn't a sneak attack, but a bystander. He had never held any hostility from the beginning.
Most importantly, the old man and ___ were both Early Third Stage warriors, but they had only formed a spiritual altar in their Dantian. Under such circumstances, there was no need for them to lower their heads to him.
After all, the gourd in the old man's hand was extraordinary. If they really fought, it would be hard to tell who would win and who would lose.
"He actually used such a method to test me. It seems like the king of Chiang Country might be even more wise than I thought!"
The seat on the carriage was very spacious, as if it had been specially designed. There was even a praying mat placed on top of it. Yang Xuan was currently sitting cross-legged on the praying mat, closing his eyes and deep in thought.
This time around. This time, it was obviously not that simple to probe.
If he was only a First Stage warrior, he was afraid that he would be seriously injured by the burly man named Wu. Naturally, he wouldn't have the chance to meet the master of Chiang Country in the end.
If he could tie with the burly man named Wu, the old man would still stand out and settle this matter. At the same time, he would also show off his strength.
And just like now, he had gained true respect after deterring the two of them with his Third Stage cultivation base.
In his original opinion, the master of Chiang Country should be thirsty for talents, or perhaps even a little crazy. But now, it seemed like he was thinking too much.
Not only was he not crazy, he was actually very clear-headed.
He even suspected that these people were pretending to be so good at acting, so that he could see that it was just a show.
The price of a few spirit stone and a spiritual herb was to express his attitude. There was no need to say it personally to avoid embarrassment.
This was the so-called 'knowing the truth'. Everything was in silence.
"If that's really the case, then the king of Chiang Country is truly a little scary."
Yang Xuan thought in his heart, and his gaze was solemn.
No matter what the reason was, he didn't like the feeling of being schemed against. If it wasn't for the Zhao family and the method to return to Wei Kingdom, he would have already left with a flick of his sleeve.
The exposure of his strength wasn't a good thing to him. Fortunately, he still had some things that he hadn't used yet. Now, it seemed like he could keep them as his trump card.
Especially the small silver shield. After reaching the Third Stage, he felt that the shield was extraordinary. It was just that it had been peaceful recently, so he hadn't used it yet.
When the time of life and death arrived, that small shield would definitely become his greatest help.

The road ahead was much more stable. Along the way, they encountered some bandits who dared to rob cars. However, they were all ordinary people. With the existence of Wu and the old man, it was difficult for them to stir up any waves.
Yang Xuan had been sitting on the carriage and cultivating from the beginning until the end. He did not take another step forward. Hence, the convoy did not have much time to rectify their journey. They basically continued on their journey.
These three practitioners did not matter. It was just that the ordinary guards were suffering. Under this kind of high-intensity journey, all of them were dispirited.
Fortunately, this situation did not continue for long. Finally, at noon on the third day, the group arrived at the capital of Chiang Country.
With the burly man surnamed Wu leading the way and the appearance of the carriage, this group of people skipped past the inspection at the city gate and directly entered. No one dared to stop them.
The capital city was very bustling. Yang Xuan did not extend his head out to take a look. Instead, he could hear the noise continuously being transmitted over. It appeared to be very lively.
He stopped his training and looked at the spirit stone in his hand that had been mostly used up. There was some worry in his eyes.
This spirit stone was too precious to him at the moment. Once it was used up, it meant that his cultivation speed would be greatly reduced.
"Including the compensation from that burly man and the amount of spirit stone I consumed along the way, I only have around twenty-eight spirit stone left. If I continue cultivating like this, it will only take me half a month to use up all of them."
After calculating the remaining spirit stone on his body, he could not help but sigh.
The spirit stone was indeed a great help to his cultivation. However, it was a little difficult for him to obtain it. In addition to his absorption speed, he really couldn't afford it.
The Three Essence Silence Spell had already increased the speed of his absorption of the Spirit Aura by quite a bit, not to mention the existence of the Soul Absorption Bead. He needed to consume two spirit stone a day.
Of course, the result of such a huge consumption was also very obvious. The number of Spirit Aura stored in his spiritual altar had increased by a lot in the past few days. This could be considered good news.
The Dantian was an extremely important place in the path of cultivation, and the spiritual altar formed by it was also the largest. It could also be called the main spiritual altar. Once the spiritual altar was filled with Spirit Aura, it could be called the main spiritual altar. A small spiritual altar would need to be formed in the bloodline. When that time came... Only then could one step into the intermediate Third Stage, the Spiritual Attraction.
The Spiritual Attraction was based on the spiritual altar in the dantian. It absorbed the surrounding Spirit Aura and purified it. Then, it would emit pure Spirit Aura to all meridians and acupoints in the body. It would help the meridians and acupoints to form an official spiritual altar, complementing the dantian's spiritual altar.
These few steps were not difficult at all. What they needed was a large amount of accumulation, and they had a very high requirement for the total amount of Spirit Aura in the body.
At this time, almost half of the spiritual altar in Yang Xuan's body had been stored, and most of it was formed from the large amount of Spiritual Force that was absorbed during the harmonization of Yin and Yang. These few days, the absorption had only been a few millimeters.
The corner of his mouth curled into a bitter smile when he thought of filling up this spiritual altar with the Spirit Aura needed.
These Spirit Aura were basically equivalent to the spirit stone that he needed to obtain. Without the assistance of the spirit stone, it would take an unknown amount of time for him to break through to the intermediate stage.
Just as he was calculating in his heart, the convoy slowly drove past the bustling and crowded main road of the capital and stopped in front of the imperial palace.
Yang Xuan's heart moved. After the carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain and walked out.
"What a powerful Spiritual Force fluctuation."
He stood on the ground, staring at the tall wall in front of him.
It was unknown whether it was because he had been absent-minded or because there was a special mechanism in this place, but he did not notice anything along the way. It was only after the carriage stopped that he sensed something.
