His gaze swept coldly over Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er, finally settling on Shi Hao. In a condescending and unquestionable tone, he spoke coldly:
"You are Shi Hao?"
Shi Hao frowned slightly, looking at the uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared and was extremely arrogant. He was somewhat displeased: "It's me. Who are you? What brings you to block my way?"
Upon hearing this, the silver-armored man's face revealed an even stronger arrogance, as if Shi Hao didn't even have the right to ask about his identity.
He raised his chin and said in a condescending tone, "I am the messenger of the Immortal Mountain!"
"By order of the Mountain Master, I have come to proclaim your summons!"
"Shi Hao! Why aren't you kneeling down at once to receive the imperial decree?!"
Everlasting Mountain? !
Upon hearing those three words, Shi Hao's eyes, which had been relatively calm, instantly turned icy cold!
Everlasting Mountain!
That upper realm lineage that imprisoned his mother, forced his father to endure humiliation, and might even have made things difficult for them?!
They actually sent someone?! And they even dared to use such an arrogant tone, ordering him to kneel down to receive the imperial decree?!
court death!
An uncontrollable surge of anger and killing intent instantly rushed from the depths of Shi Hao's heart to the top of his head!
"Immortal Mountain?" Shi Hao looked at the silver-armored envoy in front of him, who still had an arrogant expression and acted as if he were the King of Heaven. Suddenly, a cold and murderous smile appeared on his face.
"You want me to kneel down and receive the imperial decree?"
"You? You think you're worthy?!"
The moment the words fell!
Shi Hao made a move!
He couldn't even be bothered to waste any more words with the other party!
boom! ! !
A terrifying aura erupted instantly! The power of a peak-level Array Formation Realm cultivator was unleashed without reservation!
He took a step forward, and his figure appeared in front of the silver-armored messenger in an instant, like a ghost!
"what?!"
The silver-armored envoy never expected that Shi Hao would dare to attack so directly! And with such speed! He didn't even have time to react!
He could only watch helplessly as a small, pink fist, seemingly containing the power to destroy the world, rapidly enlarged in his pupils!
boom! ! !
A muffled sound!
Like swatting a fly!
The Immortal Mountain envoy, whose strength had reached the late stage of the Array Formation Realm and who was powerful enough to dominate a region in the outside world, didn't even have time to let out a scream!
His protective divine light shattered like paper! His silver armor crumbled like rotten wood!
His body and soul were both destroyed by Shi Hao's terrifying punch, which contained the true meaning of reincarnation!
moment!
It turned into a sky full of blood mist!
Both body and soul are destroyed!
Instant kill!
Another instant kill!
Huo Ling'er, watching this scene from the side, was already somewhat numb. This scoundrel's strength was truly becoming more and more monstrous!
With a casual wave of his hand, Shi Hao collected the storage artifact and some scattered fragments of armor left behind after the silver-armored envoy exploded.
Then he raised his head, his gaze cold as he looked toward the distant horizon, as if trying to pierce through the endless void and see the legendary immortal mountain!
His voice, like ice frozen for millennia, carried clearly:
"Go back and tell the mountain lord of Immortal Mountain!"
"One day, I, Shi Hao, will personally set foot on Mount Immortality!"
"Then... you'll be the ones welcoming me!"
"As for my parents..."
A hint of gentleness flashed in Shi Hao's eyes.
"I will personally bring them back!"
After saying that, he ignored the onlookers around him who were once again shocked and panicked by this sudden turn of events.
He pulled up Huo Ling'er, who was standing next to him, and stepped into the phoenix carriage that Huo Ling'er had prepared.
The two figures disappeared from the capital of the Stone Kingdom.
All that remained behind him was a deathly silence, and the earth-shattering news that swept across the world like a raging storm!
Marquis Shi Hao of the Desolate Heaven! He actually killed the envoy from the Immortal Mountain in the street?!
And he even declared that he would personally set foot on Mount Immortality.
What exactly is this boy trying to do?!
Is he really going to defy the heavens?!
You should know that Mount Immortal is an ancient sacred mountain, originating from the renowned Xuan Domain.
That's a much more powerful domain than the Desolate Domain.
Most importantly, Mount Immortal is a lineage from the upper realm, existing for countless years.
The Venerable One is nothing in this ancient sacred mountain.
Legendary deities, or even their true forms, may exist.
Unexpectedly, Shi Hao directly killed the envoy from the Immortal Mountain.
Does this Desolate Marquis really think he's invincible in the lower realm?
Numerous factions are discussing this.
When the emperor learned of all this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
The Emperor has also investigated Shi Hao's parents thoroughly.
It is now located in the Immortal Mountain.
Therefore, he had no good solutions and could only wait and see what Shi Hao did next.
Shi Hao was naturally unaware of the discussions among other forces.
At this moment, he and Huo Ling'er have arrived in the Medicine Capital.
Chapter 88: Shi Hao, who resembles a bandit, leaves Huo Ling'er stunned!
After leaving the capital of the Stone Kingdom, Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er did not rush back to Stone Village.
According to the previous plan, their next destination was the most famous medicinal herb distribution center in the wasteland, and the holy land in the hearts of countless alchemists—the Medicine Capital!
In order to refine the "Minor Nirvana Pill," which could help people break through to the Venerable Realm, the Medicine Capital was a place they had to visit.
The phoenix chariot streaked across the sky, moving as fast as a streak of light.
Several days later, a huge city, filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance, with an ancient and elegant architectural style and brimming with vitality, came into view.
"Wow! Is this the capital of medicine? It smells so good!" Huo Ling'er took a deep breath, feeling the rich, almost tangible medicinal fragrance in the air, along with the wisps of spiritual energy mixed in with it, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Even Shi Hao, who had always seemed a bit like a "country bumpkin" entering the city, had a slight gleam in his eyes. As expected of a capital city named after "medicine," the air quality here was indeed several levels better than that of the capital of the Shi Kingdom. Living here long-term would probably prolong one's life and prevent all kinds of diseases.
The two put away the Phoenix Carriage and, like two curious birds, blended into the bustling crowds of the Medicine Capital.
The streets of Yaodu have a completely different style from those of the Imperial Capital of Shiguo. They lack some of the royal grandeur and solemnity, and instead possess a more rustic and peaceful atmosphere.
The streets were lined not with weapons shops or restaurants, but with rows of pharmacies of all styles!
"So many medicinal herbs! I've never seen so many of them before!" Huo Ling'er was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, finding everything novel and interesting. Holding Shi Hao's hand, she wandered between the various pharmacies, chattering away incessantly.
Shi Hao, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. His goal for this trip was clear: to find several extremely rare main ingredients needed to refine the Lesser Nirvana Pill.
He pulled the excited Huo Ling'er along and walked directly into the largest and most prestigious pharmacy in the Medicine Capital—the Divine Medicine Sect!
The Divine Medicine Sect is the true local power in Medicine Capital! It is said that its lineage can be traced back to the era of the ancient Medicine God, with an extremely profound foundation, and it almost monopolizes the trading of the most high-end and rarest medicinal materials in Medicine Capital! Its disciples are all proficient in the art of alchemy and hold a revered position in the desolate region.
As soon as the two stepped into the magnificent hall of the Divine Medicine Sect, a sharp-eyed shop assistant immediately came to greet them. Seeing that Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er, though young, were dressed in fine clothes, the shop assistant dared not be negligent, and put on a professional smile: "Young sirs, please come in! What would you like to buy? Our shop has a complete range of medicinal herbs, from common healing herbs to thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, and even some rare and exotic medicines—we have everything!"
"We'd like to find some medicinal herbs to refine the Lesser Nirvana Pill," Shi Hao said bluntly.
"What?! A Lesser Nirvana Pill?!" Upon hearing this, the waiter's smile froze instantly. He then looked at Shi Hao with an extremely strange gaze, as if he were looking at a madman. "Little...little customer, you...you're not joking, are you? That's a legendary, heaven-defying pill that can help someone break through to the Venerable Realm! Its formula has been lost for countless ages! You..."
“We have the prescription, but we’re missing a few key ingredients.” Shi Hao interrupted him, calmly reciting the names of several extremely rare medicinal herbs, some of which could even be described as existing only in legends.
Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression changed from bewilderment to shock, even tinged with pity: "This... young sir... these medicinal herbs you mentioned... let alone our Divine Medicine Sect, I'm afraid... I'm afraid you can't find them in the entire Desolate Region! They are legendary divine objects! They have long been extinct!"
"Can't find it?" Shi Hao frowned slightly.
The reason he came to the Divine Medicine Sect was because he knew that as the local power in the Medicine Capital, the Divine Medicine Sect must have many valuable things hidden away! They definitely possessed these medicinal herbs! They just weren't willing to reveal them easily!
"Really not?" Shi Hao's voice turned cold.
The waiter felt a little uneasy under Shi Hao's gaze, but still forced himself to say, "Really...really, we don't have any! Young sir, you'd better look elsewhere..."
Just then, an arrogant voice came from the side.
"Hmph! Where did these wild brats and little girls come from? They even dare to dream of the Lesser Nirvana Pill? They're like toads lusting after swans! They should take a good look at themselves in the mirror!"
A young man, who looked to be around twenty years old and dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with undisguised contempt and disdain on his face, walked over, surrounded by a group of followers.
He had clearly overheard Shi Hao's conversation with his assistant, and his words were full of contempt for Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes instantly turned cold.
Huo Ling'er's eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face turning frosty: "Who are you calling a brat?!"
"So what if I'm talking to you?" The young man in the brocade robe curled his lip, his gaze sweeping over Huo Ling'er's shapely figure with an extremely lewd look. "This little girl is quite pretty, what a pity, she's wasting her time with such a poor wretch. How about... you come with me? I guarantee you'll live the high life!"
