"Captain Liu."
As soon as the middle-aged man on horseback appeared, the others respectfully greeted him.
Yang Lingtian stared indifferently at the man called Captain Liu, and said, "Before you speak, you should discipline your subordinates!"
Before Captain Liu could speak, a burly man in front shouted.
He stared at Yang Lingtian with a fierce look, and shouted, "Arrogant brat, how dare you speak to our Captain Liu like that!"
"How dare you disrespect our captain! Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother!"
As he spoke, the burly man rushed over and raised his palm to slap Yang Lingtian's face.
Yang Lingtian's expression suddenly changed, and a strong murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
Then, he directly raised his hand and steadily caught the burly man's palm, while his other hand formed a fist and slammed towards the burly man's chest.
"Crack!"
With the sound of bones breaking, Yang Lingtian used his physical strength alone to cave in the burly man's chest.
"Ah!"
A scream suddenly rang out, and the burly man howled in pain.
The ferocious look on his face disappeared completely, and his entire face turned pale.
Then, Yang Lingtian raised his leg and kicked the burly man's chest fiercely with a sharp gust of wind.
The burly man was kicked high into the air, and fell to the ground with a bang more than ten meters away.
A cloud of dust splashed up, and the burly man spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body shriveled into a ball.
The others were stunned for a while when they saw this, and then they picked up their weapons one after another, wanting to kill Yang Lingtian.
"Stop!" Captain Liu shouted immediately, stopping the angry subordinates in time.
Captain Liu slowly stepped forward, his face solemn as he looked at Yang Lingtian.
He asked, "Little friend, do you really just want to ask for directions and have no other intentions?"
"Yes!" Yang Lingtian nodded slightly and said.
"Captain Liu, give this little brother a map!"
Before Captain Liu could reply, a slightly old voice came from the carriage behind.
Although the voice was old, it was full of energy.
Hearing this voice, Yang Lingtian looked back, feeling an unfathomable aura in the voice.
Captain Liu showed a trace of awe and bowed slightly to the person in the carriage: "Yes, old sir."
A flash of light flashed in Yang Lingtian's eyes, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances in the direction of the carriage.
At this time, inside the carriage, an old man with white hair looked at Yang Lingtian through the curtain of the carriage.
He seemed to have seen through Yang Lingtian.
He was slightly surprised in his heart: "This child is only eighteen years old, but he has already achieved Foundation Establishment, he can be considered a genius."
"More importantly, there is an energy fluctuation in his body that I can't see through, he must be a person with great opportunities."
"Now that I am facing a crisis, it is better to make more good connections."
At this time, Captain Liu took out a scroll from his spatial ring and handed it to Yang Lingtian.
Then he said, "This is the map of the Star-Moon Dynasty, take it."
Yang Lingtian took the scroll, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Thank you!"
Then he left in the opposite direction of the caravan.
Captain Liu turned his head and took a deep look at Yang Lingtian, took a deep breath, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
The entire caravan set off again.
At this moment, that old voice suddenly rang in Yang Lingtian's ears, as if someone was whispering softly in his ear.
"Young man, you have such strength at a young age, cultivate well."
"I believe that in the near future, you will be famous throughout the continent."
Yang Lingtian's expression changed slightly, and he was stunned for a moment.
Then he looked around, and there was no one nearby.
His gaze fell on the caravan that was still moving forward not far away.
He knew that the voice should have been made by the person sitting in the carriage.
However, he found that the dozens of mercenaries protecting the caravan seemed to have not heard what he had just said.
Their expressions did not change at all, still as before, and they were still moving forward.
This is only I can hear, is it directional sound transmission?
Yang Lingtian's face began to show an unbelievable expression, could it be that the person who can do this is a Nascent Soul Old Monster?
"Young man, if you come to Shenba City of the Heavenly Saint Empire in the future, you can find me with this token."
At that moment, the voice sounded again.
Then, a token flashing with golden light flew out of the carriage window and landed steadily in Yang Lingtian's hand.
The guards around the carriage looked at the token flying towards Yang Lingtian, their eyes filled with envy.
Mixed with a hint of doubt.
At this moment, a huge wave was surging in Yang Lingtian's heart.
He knew that the mysterious old man sitting in the carriage must be an unfathomably powerful expert.
He just didn't understand why such a powerful expert would need these people with low cultivation levels to escort him.
As the carriage gradually moved away, Yang Lingtian looked at the token in his hand and knew that this token was not simple.
The entire token was made of purple gold, which was a rare material for refining Spirit Artifacts.
Just the token itself was probably worth a lot of Spirit Stones.
"Heavenly Saint Empire? Could it be one of the three great empires of the Shenwu Continent?"
"What is the identity of this mysterious old man?" Yang Lingtian murmured to himself.
He was very unfamiliar with the Heavenly Saint Empire, after all, his predecessor had never even left Tianchen City, only reading about it in some books.
However, he knew that he was currently still within the Star-Moon Dynasty.
And Tianchen City was just a third-tier city within the Star-Moon Dynasty.
Eighty percent of the cities in the entire Star-Moon Dynasty were third-tier cities, and the rest were relatively few second-tier cities and first-tier cities.
Yang Lingtian didn't know why the old man gave him the token.
But since he had given it, if he had the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Saint Empire in the future, he could go to him since he wouldn't know anyone there.
Yang Lingtian took out a map and found a third-tier city nearby called Qingfeng City.
He walked along the official road towards Qingfeng City.
Two days later, he finally arrived at Qingfeng City.
This place was relatively far away from Tianchen City, so the influence of the Lei Family probably wouldn't reach this far.
Yang Lingtian strolled down the street, his curious gaze constantly sweeping over the stalls on both sides of the street.
Suddenly, the Chaos Bead in his Dantian began to vibrate violently.
Yang Lingtian's expression changed drastically. This was the first time the Chaos Bead had shaken so unexpectedly, and he didn't know what was happening.
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly surged into Yang Lingtian's mind. He seemed to be able to feel a sense of excitement coming from the Chaos Bead.
Then, a wonderful feeling suddenly entered his mind, as if it had appeared out of nowhere.
Yang Lingtian could clearly feel that the Chaos Bead in his Dantian had formed a subtle connection with him.
This connection was similar to a spiritual connection.
Suddenly, a child-like voice rang in his mind.
"Quick, Golden Feather Stone, there's Golden Feather Stone ahead."
The voice only appeared for a moment before falling silent again.
No matter how Yang Lingtian called out in his mind, no voice came back.
However, the Chaos Bead in his Dantian was still vibrating slightly.
Yang Lingtian looked up and focused his gaze on a fist-sized black stone in a corner of a stall.
Because of the connection he had formed with the Chaos Bead, he could also feel that this black stone seemed to be extraordinary.
The black stone was round overall and looked no different from ordinary stones.
Yang Lingtian slowly walked over. At this moment, he could clearly feel the excitement and joy coming from the Chaos Bead.
After looking at the black stone, Yang Lingtian nonchalantly reached out and touched it.
It looked like he was just taking a look, not doing it deliberately.
When he picked it up, he found that the black stone was surprisingly heavy.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to pick it up. It was heavier than the weight of several people combined.
And when he held the black stone in his hand, he could clearly feel the excitement and joy coming from the Chaos Bead.
"Young brother, have you taken a fancy to this strange stone?" At this time, the stall owner asked with a smile.
Yang Lingtian put down the black stone and asked, "I wonder what kind of stone this is? It's so heavy, what is its specific use?"
The stall owner chuckled, a little embarrassed, and said, "I don't know about that."
"I only know that it's particularly heavy and shouldn't be an ordinary thing."
"Where did you get this black stone?" Yang Lingtian continued to ask.
The stall owner pondered for a moment before saying, "Many people have asked me, but I haven't told them."
"I think we're fated, so I'll tell you."
"I actually found this stone in the Monster Beast Mountain Range. I brought it back because it was so heavy, thinking it might be some kind of treasure."
Seeing that Yang Lingtian seemed very interested in the black stone, the stall owner continued, "Young brother, why don't you buy it?"
"I've had this black stone for several years now, and I usually don't take it out."
"It's just that I'm a little short on Spirit Stones to spend recently, so I had no choice but to bring it out."
"This black stone must be an amazing treasure, you definitely won't regret buying it."
Yang Lingtian picked up the black stone again and examined it carefully.
Then he looked at the stall owner and asked, "I wonder how many Spirit Stones you plan to sell it for?"
His tone was very calm, as if he was just curious about the black stone, and not necessarily wanting to buy it.
"This..." The stall owner hesitated. He knew that this black stone should not be an ordinary object.
But he really didn't know what this stone was used for.
He had consulted many books on rare and exotic treasures, but still couldn't find an answer.
He even asked some friends with higher cultivation, but they were also clueless.
After setting up his stall for so long, although some people had been curious about this stone, they all turned around and left without saying a word after hearing his asking price.
He once asked for 10,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, but the other party stormed off.
He really wanted to sell it for a good price, but he was afraid that if he asked for too much, this person in front of him would also leave immediately.
After hesitating for a long time, the stall owner said, "How about this, you make an offer, and if it's suitable, I'll sell it to you directly."
Hearing this, Yang Lingtian didn't want to waste any more time and directly quoted a price: "Twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones!"
