The moonlight was like water, and the moon was round but the stars were sparse.
Strangely, a "stone mountain" that was dozens of feet tall seemed to have grown legs as it slowly moved forward in the valley.
On the path that the stone mountain "walked", it left a line of deep footprints. There were faint golden patterns flickering in the footprints, flickering and gradually dissipating.
Walking from one end of the valley to the other, the stone mountain suddenly 'jumped' up, and then heavily smashed into a sunken hole. A figure quickly flashed out from the bottom of the stone mountain, and stood beside it, gasping for breath.
It was a young man. His face was covered in dust, but it could not hide his dignified appearance.
His upper body was bare, and his muscles were neatly arranged, displaying the external beauty of a human Dao body.
"Phew! 9,900 kilograms. Can't I break through with this kind of cultivation? "
The young man carefully sensed it. The number was actually a spiritual perception in his heart, and he did not really weigh the stone mountain.
He clenched his left fist, and his fist shone with a golden luster. His bones seemed to emit the sound of metal colliding.
That was the phenomenon of his entire body's flesh and bones being tempered to a certain extent.
At that moment, the blades and swords of the mortal world could no longer hurt him. If the Dharma artifacts of ordinary cultivators hit him, they would probably only cause him some minor injuries …
However, Yang Jian frowned.
He had been cultivating in the mountains for three months and had never taken a step out. Meanwhile, he kept breaking through the first level of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. He carefully polished it and slowly reached the current realm.
Logically speaking, it was very stable for him to break through to the next realm. However, Yang Jian could vaguely sense that the first level of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art was not limited to that …
"Nine is the limit. If I can break through the current realm, do I have to break through the limit? How can I break through the limit? "
He murmured in a low voice and silently recited the first stage of the Eight Nine Mysteries technique again.
The first level was the most basic realm. What he needed to do was to seize the power of heaven and earth to polish his body. From his bones to his flesh and blood, and then to his skin, Yang Jian had completely met the requirements of the first level.
He had steel bones and stone skin.
"Phew, forget it. I'll go out and take a walk tomorrow. There's no point in thinking about it." Yang Jian yawned. He was also a little tired.
Raising his head to look at the cliff, he dashed over as if he was flying. As he approached, he leaped up and landed accurately in the cave. This showed how skillful Yang Jian's control of his own strength was.
With a bang, he sealed the boulder, closed the door, and went to sleep.
At dawn the next day, Yang Jian put on a short-sleeved shirt and trousers and tied up his long hair.
He knew where the nearest big city was, so he went into the forest to hunt two wild boars that had not developed spiritual nature. He tied them up with tree vines and carried them on his back. Then, he ran out of the forest and ran towards the big city.
If he was strong enough, his speed would naturally not be slow. It was just that his running speed was a little unsightly, leaving a trail of dust on the ground …
In the distance, there was a big city in sight. He could hear the hustle and bustle of people, and he could also see the merchants going in and out of the city gate. Yang Jian immediately became spirited, and he ran even faster.
He was still three miles away from the big city. In order not to scare people, he slowed down, dragged the two wild boars behind him, and walked towards the city gate.
Many people on the side of the road cast curious glances at Yang Jian, and Yang Jian also cast curious glances at them. They sized each other up.
Yang Jian thought, "This place is not bad. The girls don't wear too much. They expose their shoulders and navels if they want to."
This was the Boundless World outside of the Untainted Land. Because of the loss of Spiritual Qi, most of the Immortal Cultivation Sects had moved away or slowly died out. There were only a few ancient lands left. This world had already been cut off from other worlds, but it still maintained the ancient customs.
For some reason, Yang Jian thought of the ancient people described in the Book of Songs. Wasn't that what he was seeing now?
"Hey! The young man over there is so handsome! "
On an ox cart, seven or eight charming women in revealing clothes were throwing flirtatious glances at Yang Jian.
One of them, a girl with willow eyebrows and big eyes, commented a little shyly:
"Is that the hunter on the mountain? He can actually subdue such a big beast. He is really young and powerful! "
"Hey, even our third sister is tempted. I'm afraid this young man can't escape from the palm of our hands."
"Hahaha …"
The seven or eight women in the ox cart were shaking with laughter. Yang Jian blushed a little. He smiled awkwardly at these women in colorful clothes, lowered his head, and walked forward quickly.
There was another ox cart behind this ox cart, which should be with these beautiful women. The ox cart at the back was filled with bells, drums, and harps. They might be a group of musicians or dancers.
"Hey! Don't go, young man! We are going the same way! "
"He is going to sell his prey, and then come to our Jade Phoenix Pavilion to spend money on wine!"
"Young man, you must come. Big sisters will accompany you!"
Behind them, there was another burst of laughter. The passing travelers were all looking at those women. Some were smiling, some were looking at them with contempt, and some showed some greedy eyes, weighing the money pouch on their waist.
Yang Jian, on the other hand, blushed a little. He was really being treated as a pure and kind young man.
However, there were also many people looking at Yang Jian with surprise. After all, those two wild boars couldn't be subdued by an ordinary young man.
As the saying goes, the expert knows the ropes, while the layman just enjoys the show.
Yang Jian was stopped by a group of armored soldiers at the city gate. These soldiers all looked as if they were facing a great enemy. They kept asking Yang Jian where he came from and what he was doing in the city.
"I'm going to sell these two wild boars and get some money for wine. I'll bring some wine back for my old father."
"Oh?" The guard was a middle-aged man. He gently stroked his beard and asked, "Where is your home? What is your name? " Then, he was afraid of offending Yang Jian, so he said with a smile, "Today is the birthday of a noble, so the interrogation is a little more strict. Young man, please don't mind."
On the way here, Yang Jian had already thought of an excuse. He said that he was a hunter in the deep mountain village. His parents lived in seclusion to study martial arts, and he practiced martial arts since he was a child …
So on and so forth.
"If that is the case," The guard thought, "why don't I buy your two wild boars? They can be sent to the marquis fu as a congratulatory gift. How much do you want? "
"General, just give as you see fit."
"If so, I will not treat you badly." The guard took out a small bag from his bosom.
Yang Jian opened it. There were a dozen pieces of gold inside. He grinned, raised his hands to the guard, and entered the city gate.
After he left, the guards started to murmur.
"General, why give that kid so much? Just take it as a gesture. Does he dare not sell? "
"Hey, don't talk nonsense." The guard stared in the direction that Yang Jian had left in and narrowed his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Look at these two wild boars, are there any wounds?"
A group of guards went over. There were many people inside and outside the city gate, but they were all watching.
Soon, a guard answered, "General, there are no wounds. It seems like … these two wild boars were killed by running into each other?"
"Either you are blind, or that young man is not a simple character." The guard sneered. He walked in front of one of the wild boars and pressed his hand on the wild boar's skull.
He exerted a bit of force and a large part of the skull caved in. It was the size of a palm.
"These two wild beasts were probably killed by that young man with one palm strike!" The guard snorted. "This kind of extraordinary person is not someone we can provoke. Even the immortal masters that went to the marquis fu today would not be able to do such a thing. This kind of extraordinary person, humph humph, is not someone we can control. "
The group of guards came to a sudden realization and kept quiet out of fear.
"Take these two wild boars away and disperse quickly. Also, see if the dancers of Emerald Phoenix Brothel have returned. The people from the marquis fu left a message. When they return, send them to the marquis fu. "
"Roger!"
"Hey, isn't it over there? They're here, they're here! The wives are here! "
The guard ordered the guards to send the two wild boars and the two ox-carts to the marquis fu.
When Yang Jian entered the city, he really felt like a country bumpkin entering a city. Looking at the lofts and residences, the smooth streets that could allow horses to gallop, and the endless stream of pedestrians, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
This was just a dying Vast Thousand World. It was just a small town at the border of this Vast Thousand World. Yet, it was so majestic and lively.
Grabbing the dozen or so pieces of gold, Yang Jian turned his head and looked around. He identified the plaques everywhere while looking for the restaurant.
