Chapter 95

"Indeed, the capital of the Heavenly Wind Imperial Kingdom is magnificent!"

Yitian and his group looked from afar at the capital, which stood like a natural barrier on the vast land ahead, majestic and grand. Moreover, they could see rays of light floating in the sky within the capital, the result of the aura of powerful figures unconsciously stirring the primordial energy.

"Let's go and see the prosperity of this capital!"

Yitian became somewhat excited.

Yitian, Yishan, and the others from the Reincarnation Team all looked curious and somewhat anticipatory.

They landed on the ground from the air ten miles away from the capital.

Then, they walked on the grand road leading to the capital, wide enough for thirty-six black-scaled horses to walk side by side.

On this grand road, the caravans coming and going were enormous, with the smaller ones consisting of dozens or hundreds of carts, and the larger ones having thousands of carts, transporting a large amount of goods from all over the Heavenly Wind Imperial Kingdom to the capital.

On the grand road leading to the capital, the middle part was for the passage of caravans, while on both sides, martial artists from various counties came to visit.

Yitian and his group of six appeared quite ordinary among these caravans.

"Move, move, the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis's dragon carriage is coming, everyone must move aside!"

The next moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the rear of the road, and a group of elite riders quickly rushed over from behind, holding dragon-tiger gold plates, charging towards the capital to clear the way for the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis.

"The Mountain Stabilizing Marquis has returned."

"Quickly move all the carts to the side, don't collide with the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis, we can't afford to offend him."

In an instant, the broad road became noisy.

Various animal roars, whipping sounds, and curses echoed continuously, one after another.

Yitian and the others looked at each other.

"Who is this Mountain Stabilizing Marquis, to put on such a grand display?"

Yikuang was somewhat dissatisfied.

The Mountain Stabilizing Marquis's display was too grand, just a marquis, yet his grandeur was no less than that of the imperial relatives and nobles.

At this moment, a martial artist in his forties nearby said to Yikuang, "Young man, you don't know, the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis is the emperor's most trusted right-hand man, stationed in the Heavenly Wind Gorge for a long time. It can be said that the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis's status is higher than those dukes with little real power."

"That's right, the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis has great authority in the capital, and his strength is among the top in the entire Heavenly Wind Imperial Kingdom. It is said that he is already a human-level expert at the Primordial Core stage. You'd better not provoke him."

A young martial artist in the group of the forty-year-old martial artist saw that Yitian and the others were young and spoke without restraint, fearing they might offend the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis.

Yili then spoke, "What is this Heavenly Wind Gorge, to require a Primordial Core expert to guard it?"

The forty-year-old martial artist said, "You must be from out of town. The Heavenly Wind Gorge can be considered a perilous place in the Heavenly Wind Imperial Kingdom, with terrifying gales blowing all year round. Martial artists below the human level cannot survive in the Heavenly Wind Gorge, with a ten-to-zero chance of survival. Therefore, only human-level experts can venture into the Heavenly Wind Gorge!"

"As for why the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis guards the Heavenly Wind Gorge, the reason is that the Heavenly Wind Gorge is a treasure land where the Wind Spirit Wood grows. You should know that the Wind Spirit Wood is a material for refining treasure talismans. A hundred-year-old Wind Spirit Wood is worth ten thousand high-grade primordial stones. If a thousand-year-old Wind Spirit Wood is found, it might be worth a Primordial Crystal!"

The forty-year-old martial artist spoke with a look of longing.

However, his longing quickly disappeared, "Although the Wind Spirit Wood is rare and invaluable, the Heavenly Wind Gorge is home to some powerful wind beasts and wind demons. Even human-level experts can perish there, making it extremely dangerous."

Yitian and the others were all moved by this.

It was the first time they had heard of the Heavenly Wind Gorge, and it was surprising that even human-level experts could be in danger there.

Moreover, the value of the Wind Spirit Wood surprised them.

The Wind Spirit Wood was a true heavenly treasure, although of the lowest grade, it was still invaluable. Yitian and the others only possessed one heavenly treasure, the Primordial Crystal, and even high-grade primordial stones were not considered heavenly treasures.

Every heavenly treasure was nurtured in some extreme place in the world, extremely rare.

Yitian and the others usually found some spirit herbs in the mountains, which were just ordinary herbs that had absorbed primordial energy over the years, with powerful medicinal effects, suitable for refining low-grade pills, and very beneficial to ordinary martial artists.

Above spirit herbs, there were treasure herbs.

The value of a single treasure herb was enough to make human-level experts fight over it. Just some branches and leaves of a treasure herb, combined with some top-grade spirit herbs, were enough to refine entry-level pills.

The middle of the grand road was quickly cleared.

Soon, a group riding wind tiger beasts rushed from behind to the end of the grand road leading to the capital. Each wind tiger beast was seven to eight zhang tall, like small mountains, moving as fast as the wind.

"This is the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis's wind tiger cavalry, capable of traveling ten thousand miles a day, extremely powerful."

Some martial artists were filled with longing.

If one could become a wind tiger cavalryman, it would be a life of glory.

It was said that each wind tiger cavalryman received a thousand low-grade primordial stones as monthly pay.

However, to become a wind tiger cavalryman, one not only needed to reach the seventh rank in cultivation but also have outstanding willpower, subject to strict discipline and management, not just anyone could join.

Soon, after the passage of over a hundred wind tiger cavalrymen, a bronze carriage came rumbling from behind.

A ten-zhang-tall wind-stepping beast pulled the bronze carriage, occupying a third of the broad road, moving at high speed, closely following the wind tiger cavalry.

Behind the bronze carriage, there were dozens of cavalrymen.

At this moment, Yitian and the others' eyes narrowed.

They saw that the bronze carriage was floating three feet above the ground, moving at high speed without any vibration.

Yitian was surprised.

The bronze carriage was probably not just a treasure carriage but at least a quasi-treasure level.

On the bronze carriage, there were clearly some floating runes or restrictions engraved.

The return of the Mountain Stabilizing Marquis to the capital caused a stir among the major forces in the capital, and many people came to pay their respects.

At this time, Yitian and the others from the Reincarnation Team quietly entered the vast capital.

After entering the capital, Yitian and the others discovered that primordial stones were also used as currency, even in small transactions, which was enough to surprise them.

After all, primordial stones were extremely rare in Black Dragon City and were never used for circulation, stored as strategic resources, a symbol of a force's foundation.

The capital of the Heavenly Wind Imperial Kingdom was truly enormous.

Yitian and the others entered the southern district of the capital, which was at least a hundred times larger than Black Dragon City.

There were countless inns in the southern district, and high-level martial artists were everywhere.

Even the waiters in inns and shops had considerable cultivation, at least fourth rank and above.

Low-level martial artists were extremely rare.

Only teenagers around fourteen or fifteen years old were low-level martial artists.

In the southern district, besides countless inns and taverns, there were also numerous estates, ranging from hundreds to thousands of acres, and some even covered tens of thousands of acres, with mountains and water, very elegant.

Some of these estates were already owned, belonging to some major families or forces in the Heavenly Wind Imperial Kingdom, or private estates, while others were operated and rented out.

However, the rental prices for these estates were very high, ranging from ten thousand low-grade primordial stones per month to four or fifty thousand low-grade primordial stones.

Yitian and the others, of course, would not make themselves uncomfortable. After learning about the situation, they leased a thousand-acre estate from the Ten Thousand Scenery Pavilion for half a year. After all, these leased estates were in high demand, and it was common for them to be fully rented.

The Ten Thousand Scenery Pavilion was said to have a formidable backing, a prince in the capital, who controlled no less than twenty to thirty estates in the capital, earning a large amount of primordial stones every year.

Yitian and the others moved into the Green Spring Estate.

Yitian and the others were visiting the capital of the Heavenly Wind Imperial Kingdom for the first time and knew nothing about the situation here.

However, they had plenty of primordial stones and quickly learned a lot about the capital from a steward at the Green Spring Estate, with the Heavenly Wind Gorge being the most important information they gathered.
