C7 Indigestion

This city at the edge of the Shiwan Mountain was known as the Tianhuang City, and was one of the southernmost ancient cities of the Great Chu Dynasty. This was a true ancient city that had existed since the ancient era, and had not declined for tens of thousands of years.

Hong Ling followed along and walked into the tall city. Seeing the black armor on the guards and sensing the energy slowly flowing in their bodies, Hong Ling's eyes flashed with seriousness.

Even the guards at the Tianhuang City Tower Defense Gate had a trace of weak Authentic Qi. They didn't know how many strong and talented people there were in the entire Chu.

At this moment, he hadn't fully awakened. Aside from the soul power that he used to observe the danger, he discovered that he didn't have any length at all. Although he had perfectly fused with two Divine Substance, he was still unable to cultivate the [Jiuzhuan Profound Technique].

"Hong Ling, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and enter the city, if you don't, the sky will turn dark!" Old Li patted his shoulder, gesturing for him to hurry in.

Hong Ling nodded and entered the Tianhuang City with the leather goods on his back. He looked at the crowd on the street in surprise.

The hunters of Hidden Dragon Village were very conspicuous, because they were carrying too much leather goods and the quality was very good.

Very quickly, everyone arrived at the market place where they normally traded. Hong Ling watched in boredom as Old Li haggled with the leather merchants while Iron Ox's father chimed in from the side.

Finally, when the sky was about to turn dark, everyone sold their furs for a decent price.

Hong Ling looked at the silver bills in his hands, at a loss of what to do.

A thousand taels of silver was indeed a bit too much for the youth.

"Hong Ling, take this and buy an Awakening Jade. See if you can wake up as soon as possible!" Iron Ox's father laughed, pointing at his son. "When you have completed your awakening, Uncle Tie will find you a wife as strong and robust as Da Niu!"

Even though Hong Ling had already been a human for two lifetimes, at this moment, when he heard Tie Niu's father's words, he also started to sweat a little.

No one could blame him for this. The sight of Iron Ox's father was simply too astounding. Sigh!

Everyone looked at the young man. Seeing them acting like this, Hong Ling felt his scalp tingling, and did not dare to stay any longer. He called the iron bull and ran off.

"Ling Zi, this is great. After you have completed your awakening, you'll have a wife like me!"

Tie Niu followed behind Hong Ling, panting heavily.

Hong Ling felt a headache coming on. Tie Niu and Tie Niu's parents were good at everything, but their foresight was just too shocking.

"Is this place the legendary Heavenly Craft Pavilion that is specialized to sell the various items that cultivators need?"

Looking at the splendid pavilion in front of them, Hong Ling and Tie Niu sighed in admiration.

This Heaven Craft Pavilion was a famous shop in the Tianhuang City. As long as one had money, it could be said that one could buy anything a cultivator wanted here.

Hong Ling was still not a cultivator, but he knew that there was something he urgently needed here. He let out a long breath, brought along the iron bull and walked in, carefully sizing up the items on the shelves.

Very quickly, he found the Awakening Crystal that he needed. Looking at the price listed on it, which was priced at three thousand silver, even though Hong Ling had already prepared for it, he was still shocked.

He had been hunting with his hunting team all these years, and he had accumulated quite a bit of silver, a total of three thousand and five hundred liang.

At this moment, just the Awakening Stone had such a high price and he couldn't help but be shocked. Indeed, on the path of cultivation, wealth, cultivation methods, companions, and land were all lacking, and just this amount of wealth was already shocking enough, let alone others.

"I wonder if the two of you have taken a fancy to something in this shop? If it's possible, I'm willing to take it out for you!"

A shop assistant came over and respectfully said. He did not underestimate the two of them because of their clothes. The service philosophy of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion was deeply ingrained in everyone's heart.

"I want to buy that Awakening Crystal!"

Hong Ling did not waste time speaking and fished out the three thousand silver notes that he had prepared earlier. He pointed at the Awakening Crystal and handed the silver notes over to the shop assistant.

"Sure, please wait a moment!"

The shop assistant took out a token and pressed it on top of the crystal. A transparent barrier slowly melted. He took out the crystal and gave it to Hong Ling, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.

"I wonder if you two would like to buy anything else? If you have anything, I am happy to serve you!"

Hong Ling shook his head and thanked him. Then, he walked out of the Pavilion of Heavenly Arts with the iron bull and headed towards the cheap restaurant that they had booked a long time ago.

When night fell, Hong Ling sat cross-legged in his room of the restaurant. He bit his middle finger and dripped his blood on top of the crystal clear crystal stone, watching its changes.

Weng, the crystal slowly glowed with a milky white light as it slowly enveloped the youth.

Hong Ling released his own soul power and divided his consciousness into two. Half of it was focused on absorbing the energy from the crystal and the other half was observing the changes in his body.

The milky white energy seeped into the youth's body through his meridians. Hong Ling seemed to be wandering in the midst of a warm sunlight.

However, very quickly, a ripple that was difficult to detect flashed by, and Hong Ling discovered that the wave of energy in his body had disappeared, or should be directly cut off.

"This, is the will of this world?"

Although he felt a surge of power coming and going quickly, Hong Ling could still feel that it was the will of this world that was stopping him from awakening.

When everyone awakened, they would meet with obstruction from the World Will. Only by breaking this barrier would the awakening be completed.

The obstacles formed by the will of the world would vary from person to person, but without question, the stronger the innate talent, the stronger the obstacles. At this moment, Hong Ling was almost certain that he had encountered an obstacle that was strong enough to cause one to despair.

Ka cha, the crystal in his hand instantly shattered. Three thousand silver coins, just like that, Hong Ling could not help but let out a bitter laugh.

Even though he knew things wouldn't go as smoothly as he thought, he was still a bit discouraged when failure really came.

"Forget it. You can't force anything. As long as the opportunity arrives, then destiny has come!"

He comforted himself and pulled the blanket over himself. After a long time, he finally fell asleep.

The way back became much easier as Iron Ox pulled a group of kids and surrounded Hong Ling, talking nonstop.

Hong Ling's heart was a little heavy, but he managed to force out a reply.

"Hong Ling, wasn't it just a failure to awaken? Look at my dad and the others, they haven't awakened either, and they've endured for so many years!"

The Steel Ox didn't know how to comfort him, but it still braced itself and said whatever was on its mind.

Hong Ling laughed, and patted his shoulder, indicating that he was fine.

"Iron Ox, I don't care. You don't have to comfort me. No matter what, I'm still the number one ranked man in our village!"

At this moment, he was wearing white clothes. Although the cloth was somewhat rough, his temperament was ethereal, causing the crowd to sigh in admiration. Such a young man could not awaken, this was truly a stroke of luck.

Hong Ling and the rest were still more than ten kilometers away from the village when their expressions became more and more excited. When they thought about how the men, women, and elders in the village had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, they felt a wave of warmth in their hearts.

"Let's hurry up and try to get back to the village before sunset!"

Old Li's hunter status was clearly very high. Everyone cheered and quickened their pace as a response.

But, near the village, Hong Ling felt something different.

A faint scent of blood permeated the air. It was a strange smell that came from the burning of old paint.

Hong Ling felt even more uneasy. He knew that ordinary people would never burn something like paint. There was only one possibility left, and that was that their furniture and windows had been burned.

"Iron Ox, tell everyone to hurry up. I smell blood and hope that nothing bad will happen to the village!" Hong Ling said in a serious tone.

When the iron ox heard this, it instantly became anxious. It quickly roared with a deafening sound.

"Everyone, quick, use running! Something's happening in the village!" After he finished shouting, he rushed out and quickly moved his body.

Hong Ling's group did not have any Authentic Qi, but their footsteps were not slow either. They quickly moved their bodies and used all of their strength to the limit.

When they arrived at the Hidden Dragon Village, there were ruins everywhere, and corpses everywhere. The group of people knelt in front of the village, at a loss of what to do.

"Black Mountain Thief! It's the symbol of Black Mountain Thief!"

A hunter roared, Hong Ling and the rest immediately ran over, and indeed, they saw a black dagger carved on the altar in the middle of the village.

Ah!

In the crook of his arm lay his mother, the tiger-girl he liked. She was lying on the side, her clothes in disarray, a deep scratch on her neck.

Corpses were strewn all over the place, old people, children, young people, women, and even those animals that could not be taken away. Hong Ling stared blankly at the Hidden Dragon Village in front of him.

The ground suddenly trembled again. Dozens of horses carrying ferocious looking bandits were like a wave that surged into the village.

"Hahaha, sure enough, there are still fish that escaped the net!" "I heard that this time, you guys went to the Tianhuang City to sell a bunch of furs. You guys obediently handed over the money, and I can consider letting you guys live and join us!"

Ah--die!

The iron bull roared as the spear in its hand viciously lashed out, aiming straight for the head's throat.

A shadow of the whip flashed past, and with a clang, the iron bull's spear was instantly entangled. The whip of the leader of the horses took advantage of the opportunity and sent the spear, which was originally as fast as lightning, flying backwards.

He lowered his head and stared at the spear stuck in his chest. His mouth opened widely as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he half-knelt down and slowly closed his eyes, which were wide open in anger.

Iron Ox half knelt on the ground, watching the spear that was tied up by the bandit's whip take his father's life. He opened his mouth to cry, but no tears came out.

"Interesting, a small village like yours actually has someone like you who has awakened!" The bandit leader looked at the crying iron bull with a smile, "Young man, follow me. I can give you money, women, wealth, anything you want."

As he was speaking, a ray of sword energy flashed by before his eyes. His eyes narrowed as he quickly lowered his body and barely dodged the attack.

Hong Ling waved the Fine Steel Sword in his hand, the killing intent in his eyes seemed to be real, his white clothes were already stained with blood, and was the blood of the villagers, he had just held them up and gathered them at the altar in the village.

"Tie Niu, stand up! Men of Hidden Dragon Village, even if you are going to die, you must die standing!"

Hong Ling looked coldly at the bandit leader in front of him. He knew that the person in front of him was very strong, stronger than anyone present, but so what?
