Perfect World: Starting from Becoming Sister Huang

After waiting for a while in front of the palace, Shi Zhao finally met an acquaintance.

She possessed the tokens of the palace guard captain, the old royal elder in the temple, and even the stone emperor, making it easy for her to enter the palace.

The old head guard, alerted, looked at the young woman beside him and deliberately asked, "I heard you went to the Immortal Mountain in the Mysterious Domain. Why did you suddenly return to the Stone Kingdom?"

He had lived for an extremely long time, so long that his eyelashes were practically nonexistent. After confirming the girl's true identity, he roughly guessed what had happened.

Clearly, the people from Prince Wu's mansion have been deceived, and they probably have much more to ask for this time.

"I have found the ancestral land," Shi Zhao said directly.

A glint of gold suddenly flashed in the old guard's aged eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is this the true ancestral land of the legendary Stone Kingdom?"

Seeing the girl nod calmly, he immediately gasped.

He then looked towards the depths of the palace. If that was the case, the girl's sudden return to see the Emperor must have a purpose that was not simple.

He found himself inexplicably feeling melancholy for the emperor.

"The ancestral land of the Stone Kingdom is full of legends, and the inheritance there has been coveted by many ancient powerful beings..." the old guard captain said subconsciously, but then stopped and said no more.

The Stone Clan was very cautious and careful. Although they had conquered a vast territory and established an ancient kingdom, they did not take all their people with them. Instead, they chose to seal off that ancestral land and sever all ties.

This was out of fear that the clan would be wiped out by outsiders, and they hoped to leave a lineage in their ancestral land so that it would never be extinct.

Unfortunately, as the long years have passed, no one has been able to find the way back.

Because the ancestral land contains the strongest sacrificial spirit that the only one in the Stone Kingdom could find, it used its remains to set up an astonishing magic array that covered an area of ​​thousands of miles, making it very difficult for powerful beings to find.

The Willow God also said that He took advantage of the Stone Clan, and therefore protected the villagers.

He rested and recuperated there, drawing upon the resources of the earth, and the magic array was broken by Him.

Shi Zhao was actually more aware that this was probably a consistent practice ingrained in the Shi people, a long-standing and excellent tradition.

After all, in the Three Thousand Provinces of the Upper Realm, the ancestors of the Stone Clan, the descendants of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, did the same thing, choosing to send some of their clansmen out of the Primal Imperial City to continue their bloodline.

Afterwards, those who were sent away encountered calamities and sent some of their clansmen to the Eight Realms of the Lower Realm, a prison, to escape disaster, hoping to continue to multiply and thrive there.

It mainly features a nested doll design.

"You've arrived."

In the main hall, the Stone Emperor spoke, exuding immense majesty.

Shi Zhao looked up and saw that the person was surrounded by light, making it impossible to see their true form. It was as if they were standing in a golden sun, leaving Shi Zhao speechless.

They've got quite the airs, huh? Let's see if they can stay seated for long.

"I'm here." She nodded calmly.

Unfortunately, Shi Huang didn't say anything more about why she shouldn't have come or why she still came, which left her a little disappointed, causing the situation to become somewhat awkward for a moment.

The two stared at each other blankly, and finally Shi Zhao asked a seemingly unrelated question: why the Emperor Shi had inexplicably bestowed a title upon her.

Even if he studied at the temple and was valued by that old royal elder, it wouldn't be enough for the Stone Emperor to bestow titles and divine artifacts upon him; that would be going too far.

Of course, she had some suspicions about this matter, and decided to ask her about it as well.

"You have obtained the Suanni Treasure Technique." As expected of a ruler of his generation, since the person involved took the initiative to ask, he directly stated the reason without concealing anything.

The loss of the national treasure technique would naturally have a huge impact, but if it was taken by someone from their own side, the problem could be big or small, depending entirely on how the Stone Emperor decides to act.

Clearly, he chose to win them over and place his bets.

Shi Zhao understood; so the matter had indeed been discovered, but he said something else entirely: "I used to think I was your long-lost illegitimate daughter."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Stone Emperor nodded, his eyes seeming to brighten slightly.

"If you are willing, I can take you as my goddaughter, and in the future, this vast Stone Kingdom may very well be passed on to you," he said, his voice booming and echoing throughout the hall.

"Hey, can I refuse?" Shi Zhao was shocked by these words and wanted to slap himself. He shouldn't have blurted out those careless words.

"Sure, I won't force you," the Stone Emperor said, appearing quite agreeable. He then asked, "Tell me why you've come here?"

Shi Zhao calmed himself down and revealed that he had unexpectedly found the true ancestral land of the Shi Clan in the Great Wilderness and obtained a complete ancient pill formula, hoping to exchange it for medicinal materials for the Cave Heaven Realm baptism.

Before leaving the Great Wilderness, she consulted the people of Stone Village. They all said they could give the ancient elixir formula to the Stone Kingdom, but the Stone Kingdom had to give up corresponding treasures in exchange.

In short, the goal was to get her more benefits.

The villagers were kind and simple, and once they accepted her, they genuinely cared for her.

The Stone Emperor could no longer remain calm. His heart was filled with turbulent emotions, and his body radiated an uncontrollable glow, demonstrating the extent to which he could not restrain himself.

"Really?" he asked again.

"Of course it is true." Shi Zhao nodded.

After a moment of silence, the Stone Emperor suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on the girl in the palace, his eyes shining brightly, making the entire palace dazzling.

"The ancient elixir formula is the most precious inheritance of our clan. You have rendered a great service by bringing it back to the Stone Kingdom. I hereby grant your request!"

"If you need anything else, you may take it from the national treasury; it is all at your disposal!"

"Finally... ahem, Xiao Zhao, do you want to be an empress?"

Shi Zhao: ? ? ?

She glanced sideways at Shi Huang, wondering if the old man was about to run away.

As the emperor of an ancient kingdom, he possessed the power of the entire nation and knew much about the secrets of the world. He was already aware of the calamity that might befall the Eight Regions.

She thought about it and decided not to mention the Eight Domains Calamity to the Stone Emperor for the time being, otherwise it would be troublesome if he really forced her to pass on the throne.

It's not too late to talk things over after we've secured the benefits.

Not long after, the Stone Emperor issued an order, and within a few days, all the spiritual medicines and rare treasures that Shi Zhao needed were found.

A silver medicine cauldron was also brought out from the treasury. It shimmered with a layer of precious light, was very ancient, yet spotless, as if it had just been cast.

Lifting the lid of the cauldron, before any medicine was even being refined, a fragrant aroma of herbs wafted out, as if a batch of elixirs had just been fired.

Without needing to think too much, this is a precious cauldron. Years of alchemy have imbued it with unimaginable medicinal properties, making it a gem of alchemy.

"This is truly a divine object," Shi Zhao exclaimed.

In comparison, the silver cauldron that I had forcibly kept back then was simply inferior... no, it was inferior to my grandson, there was not much to compare.

Perhaps only the black cauldron of Ishimura can surpass it.

Of course, this is assuming that the bone cauldron is hidden inside the black cauldron.

The Stone Emperor even came in person to help her refine the secret elixir formula, making the entire cauldron even more dazzling, radiant with light, and filled with the aroma of medicine.

A full hundred medicinal herbs were put in and refined in one furnace, which was extremely amazing.
