Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

However, it was clear that Xia's father did not entirely believe what Shi Ji said.

Behind every powerful magical artifact lies a shocking secret.

Shi Ji claimed that the stone sword was left behind by an ancient immortal, but Xia's father secretly wondered if Shi Ji was just trying to appease him.

Shi Ji changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Uncle Xia, may I ask how to address you, senior?"

Xia's father smiled slightly and introduced himself: "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xia Yunxiao, and I am the protector king of the Great Shang Dynasty!"

"So you are the King of Xia! I have long admired your name!" Shi Ji said hurriedly.

Xia Yunxiao smiled and waved his hand: "Young Master Lin, there's no need to be so polite! I wonder if Young Master Lin has been settling in well with our Xia clan during this time?"

“Very comfortable, extremely pleasant!” Shi Ji replied.

Xia Yunxiao said, "Although our Xia clan is one of the top clans on the Tianwu Continent, we are located in a remote area and are not as prosperous as the outside world. If there is any inadequacy in our hospitality, we hope that Young Master Lin will forgive us!"

Shi Ji quickly replied, "Not at all. Although the Xia clan is remote, it has its own unique charm. I am deeply grateful for the care you have given me during this time!"

Xia Yunxiao waved his hand and laughed, "Young Master Lin, there's no need to be so formal! I see that you are so young yet possess such formidable combat power. Given time, you will surely become a powerful figure!"

His flattering words pleased Shi Ji greatly.

Xia Yunxiao continued his attempt to win over Shi Ji, saying, "Young Master Lin, I've heard that you possess an extremely powerful elixir?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji rolled her eyes, thinking to herself: This Xia Yunxiao is indeed up to no good, he actually has designs on me, what an old fox.

However, Xia Yunxiao did not directly ask for specific information about that magical pill, but only mentioned the word "pill".

Shi Ji guessed that the magical pill was probably intricately connected to the power behind this old fox.

Shi Ji replied calmly, "There is indeed a miraculous pill, but I have never successfully refined it, so I am not sure if this pill can help Uncle Xia break through to the Sendai realm."

"Oh? Young friend Lin, you're so young yet you're already trying to refine such a heaven-defying pill?" Xia Yunxiao looked surprised.

Shi Ji humbly replied, "Uncle Xia, you flatter me. I only have a basic understanding of medicine, and I can hardly be considered an expert in alchemy."

"Young Master Lin is too modest!" Xia Yunxiao said. "May I ask if Young Master Lin would like to speak with me in private?"

“Of course!” Shi Ji nodded in agreement.

Then, Shi Ji followed Xia Yunxiao to a pavilion outside and sat down. Shi Ji poured Xia Yunxiao a cup of tea and said, "Uncle Xia, please have some tea."

Xia Yunxiao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Young Master Lin, I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if you would be willing to help me?"

"Uncle Xia, please speak. I will do my utmost to do anything that is within my power!" Shi Ji said solemnly.

"I hope that Young Master Lin can join our Xia clan and become our honored guest. From now on, our Xia clan will certainly not mistreat any honored guest," Xia Yunxiao said.

Shi Ji said, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. However, I am not a citizen of the Great Shang Dynasty. I have a friend who is doing business in the Great Shang Dynasty. I plan to bid her farewell and leave after she returns from the outer world. I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you, Uncle Xia."

Shi Ji had long intended to leave.

This place is unsafe and fraught with hidden dangers. He plans to find an opportunity to leave quietly; if the Shang Dynasty finds out he has come here, who knows what might happen.

"Oh? Young Master Lin comes from an extraterrestrial world?" Xia Yunxiao was quite surprised.

"That's right, I still have many things to take care of at home, so I have to leave first," Shi Ji explained.

"That's such a pity," Xia Yunxiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Young Master Lin, I have a few words I'd like to say to you privately," Xia Yunxiao suddenly said in a low voice.

“Uncle, please speak freely!” Shi Ji said.

Xia Yunxiao stood up and walked with Shi Ji to another pavilion nearby. After they stopped, Xia Yunxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master Lin, is my daughter, Xia Zidie, trapped in Kyushu?"

"Miss Purple Butterfly?" Shi Ji asked in surprise, not expecting Xia Yunxiao to bring this up.

Shi Ji said, "That's right, Miss Zi Die is indeed trapped in Kyushu."

"Young Master Lin, I have a teleportation token here, which is a pass to the Great Wilderness Teleportation Array. As long as you place this teleportation token near the Great Wilderness Teleportation Array, it will be activated. Young Master Lin, take this teleportation token to the Great Wilderness Domain, and you can enter the Great Wilderness Teleportation Array." Xia Yunxiao took out a jade talisman and handed it to Shi Ji.

"I will remember this!" Shi Ji said solemnly.

Xia Yunxiao continued, "Young Master Lin, you must have heard of the Great Shang Royal Family, right? I am an elder of the Great Shang Royal Family! This jade talisman is my elder's token. With this jade talisman, you can travel freely to the Great Wilderness Domain!"

Shi Ji said, "I will accept this jade talisman. If I can find the Azure Dragon Empire, I will definitely go to the Great Wilderness Region and pay a visit to the Xia family then!"

"Haha, then this old man will await Young Master Lin's arrival in the Great Wilderness!" Xia Yunxiao replied with a hearty laugh.

After Xia Yunxiao left, Shi Ji returned to her room.

He placed the token given to him by Xia Yunxiao on the table.

"What exactly is this old guy up to?"

Shi Ji always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Perhaps it was because, as her cultivation improved day by day, Shiji's state of mind became more and more stable.

Over the years, he has experienced countless conspiracies and schemes.

Back when we were in the North Sea,
Even the emperor wanted to kill him.

But he still managed to escape danger unscathed.

Therefore, Shi Ji's mindset became increasingly calm and composed.

He knew he had to remain vigilant at all times.

The following days were peaceful and uneventful.

Three days later, a servant came to report that Xia Yunxiao had sent someone to invite Shiji to a birthday banquet.

Xia Yunxiao's invitation to Shi Ji to his birthday banquet puzzled Shi Ji greatly.

Logically speaking, since he saved Xia Yunxiao, Xia Yunxiao should have tried every means to curry favor with him.

Why would he invite me to his birthday banquet instead?

Could it be that Xia Yunxiao knows something?
Shi Ji decided to accept the invitation and go.

He changed into new clothes, rode in a beast-drawn carriage to the city gate, paid five million source crystals, and then entered the Grand Mall.

Subsequently, Shi Ji arrived at the Xia residence.

The Xia Mansion in the shopping mall is a large-scale complex, covering an area of ​​several dozen acres.

The Xia family is full of experts and is an important minister of the Shang Dynasty.

Within the Xia residence, pavilions and towers are arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner.

Squads of guards protected the entire mansion.

Xia Yunxiao, as an emperor, controlled endless wealth.

Therefore, he enjoyed the most prestigious treatment.

Xia Yunxiao lived in a luxurious villa.

This is a villa built specifically for cultivators at the Emperor level; ordinary people simply cannot enter.

When Shiji arrived outside the villa, an old man appeared and led him deeper into the villa.

"Young Master Shi, this is where our patriarch resides!" the old man said.

"Thank you, Uncle Xia!" Shi Ji replied.

"You're welcome. I'll go and inform the patriarch right away. Young Brother Shi, please rest for a while!" The old man clasped his hands in a salute and then turned to leave.

Shi Ji then entered the courtyard and found a secluded spot to sit cross-legged. He began to circulate the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique.

Instantly, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon bloodline surging from his body emitted a powerful pressure.

That oppressive aura enveloped the surrounding void.

Shi Ji unleashed the Devouring Divine Power of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was frantically devoured.

The rate at which the rock absorbs the substance is increasing.

Of course, Shi Ji was also aware that this was, after all, the Xia residence, and her frantic absorption of spiritual energy would definitely attract the attention of others.

Soon after,

Sure enough, cultivators arrived one after another and discovered Shi Ji's presence.

"What is this kid doing? Why is he absorbing spiritual energy so frantically? Is he about to break through?"

"Oh no! Quickly notify the guards! This person is stealing spirit stones! Catch him!"

The cultivators' faces turned ashen as they rushed toward Shi Ji, trying to capture him.

Shi Ji opened her eyes, looked at the charging cultivators, and said with a sneer, "You bunch of ants dare to disturb my cultivation? Since you're so eager to die, then die!"

Shi Ji strode towards those people and directly summoned the Soul-Suppressing Bell.

The Soul-Suppressing Bell vibrated with powerful energy.

Those cultivators who rushed towards Shiji immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Shiji continued to absorb the spiritual energy surging from all around.

A series of violent roars reverberated within his body, echoing in his mind like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

Now, Shiji is just one step away from a breakthrough.

I am about to break through.

Shi Ji imprisoned these cultivators, preparing to continue her secluded cultivation and break through her own realm.

However, the Golden Immortal Dao that Shi Ji had just condensed was destroyed by a cultivator.

Shi Ji's cultivation level has dropped to the peak of the Emperor Realm.

His original cultivation level was Quasi-Emperor.

However, Shi Ji's cultivation has now fallen to the peak of the Emperor Realm, and she is still a little short of breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm!" Shi Ji muttered to herself.

On this day, Xia Zixun arrived in person. She wore a long red dress, looking beautiful and charming.

She approached Shi Ji and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lin, you've finally decided to come to the Grand Mall to see your big sister!"

Shi Ji said, "I haven't seen my senior sister for a while, so I came to the mall to visit her!"

"Let's go inside and talk," Xia Zixun said with a smile.

Then, Xia Zixun led Shi Ji into the mansion.

"Hey, what's that?" Xia Zixun pointed to the artificial hill in the courtyard.

On those artificial hills, there were actually lotus flowers growing.

“That’s a celestial lotus I brought back from the Great World. It’s said to have miraculous effects in improving physical condition and enhancing potential!” Shi Ji explained.

Xia Zixun looked surprised and said, "I never expected that Junior Brother Lin would have such a heaven-defying treasure!"

"This is nothing, there are only six in total!" Shi Ji said casually.

"That's pretty good too!"

Xia Zixun continued, "I heard that a fierce battle has recently broken out between the royal family of the Great Shang Dynasty and the imperial clans of the Nine Provinces! I wonder what the situation is like?"

"This is the information I've gathered. I don't know the specifics, but in my opinion, they've most likely lost. Otherwise, the Xia family would have already launched an offensive against Kyushu and taken its place!"

Xia Zixun couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Nine Provinces are indeed rich in resources, but unfortunately, they are currently being invaded by alien creatures. I have heard that the Nine Provinces imperial clans have suffered extremely heavy losses."

Many top experts from various factions have perished, and even numerous ancient and powerful organizations have been completely annihilated!

"The alien creatures are indeed extremely terrifying. Their strength far exceeds our imagination. However, even if we lose this great battle, the future of Kyushu is still full of hope, and the cultivators of Kyushu are extremely united!"

Xia Zixun asked, "And what about you? Which emperor do you support for ascending the throne?"

Shi Ji said, "Naturally, it's a major world power in Kyushu!"

"Aren't the cultivators of the Great World unwilling to get involved in this matter?"

Shi Ji shook her head and said, "The Great World of Kyushu is not an existence independent of Kyushu!"

"As far as I know, a group of top forces are hiding in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike. If these forces can take the opportunity to defeat the Kyushu Empire, perhaps they can really rule the entire Kyushu world!"

Upon hearing Shi Ji's remarks, Xia Zixun couldn't help but show a look of shock.

Clearly, she hadn't expected that the vast world of Kyushu held so many secrets.

These secrets are all extremely astonishing, and anyone who learns them would probably be greatly surprised.

After talking with Xia Zixun for a while, Shi Ji left.

Shi Ji planned to buy a few more healing pills.

Although he had broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, his cultivation had fallen quite severely, so Shi Ji planned to take a few more healing pills to recover.

Shi Ji arrived at an auction house in the large shopping mall.

This auction house, named Tianbao Auction House, is the largest auction house under the Shang Dynasty and its business is extremely booming.

Shi Ji searched everywhere, but found no trace of the healing elixir.

"You're too late. All the healing pills we have here are sold out!" said a young female cultivator who was in charge of receiving Shi Ji.

Shi Ji exclaimed in surprise, "So many healing pills, sold out overnight? That's incredibly fast!"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics! I've only heard that His Majesty the Great Shang Emperor dispatched a large number of cultivators to various ancient stars to collect spiritual herbs for refining healing pills, in preparation for the upcoming great battle!"

The Great Shang Emperor was indeed extraordinary. He seemed to have foreseen the calamity that would befall the Nine Provinces and thus began preparing countermeasures in advance, and the results seemed quite remarkable.

Shi Ji asked, "Will the top powers of the Great World come to the aid of the Great Shang Emperor?"

The young female cultivator said with a wry smile, "I'm just a nobody; there's no way I could possibly know about these things!"

"Farewell," Shi Ji said, then got up and left.

After leaving Tianbao Auction House, Shi Ji inquired around again, but still couldn't find any healing pills, which made him feel very helpless.

Shi Ji planned to return to the inn to rest first, and then go to the market tomorrow.

The next day, Shiji went to the market and began to stroll around.

He discovered that there were many precious treasures in the market.

For example, there are many rare elixirs. Some of these elixirs were only heard of by Shi Ji, and she had never seen them in person. Therefore, after seeing these elixirs, Shi Ji became very interested.

He planned to buy some and plant them on Five Poison Mountain to improve the quality of the mountain's medicinal herbs. (End of Chapter)
