The Story of the Swordsman

Capital City

The next day, Yun Lintian finished his breakfast and headed to the transmission point near the treasury. When he arrived, Yun Qianxue and Yun Meilan were already waiting for him.

"You're here." Yun Qianxue greeted Yun Lintian warmly, while Yun Meilan only gave him a nod.

Yun Lintian smiled and said, "Let's go."

Yun Qianxue stepped forward and handed the gold-colored ring to Yun Lintian: "This is a space ring. I'll give it to you."

Yun Lintian was a little surprised. To his knowledge, the space ring was extremely rare and extremely expensive. Even among the top clans in the Heavenly Fortune Country might not have one.

Yun Lintian injected his energy and found a vast space within the ring, around hundreds of thousands of cubic meters. In a corner of space, there was a mountain of gold coins and gold banknotes stacked together, about over hundreds of millions.

"This ..." Yun Lintian was shocked. Although he had never seen a space ring before, according to his knowledge, most of them only had around ten cubic meters. Not to mention the astonishing amount of money piling up in the corner. This enormous wealth even far surpassed the total amount of gold in the treasury of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Qianxue laughed at her reaction: "Nothing surprises. This ring is the best space ring in the whole world."

Yun Lintian was silent. He did not know why Yun Qianxue had suddenly given him this. He looked at her questioningly, waiting for her explanation.

"You want to know the origin of this ring?" Yun Qianxue asked. Without waiting for Yun Lintian to reply, he said further, "When the time comes, mother will tell you. Right now, you can drip a drop of blood onto the gemstone on top of the ring."

Yun Lintian immediately bit his finger and dropped a droplet of blood onto the gemstone on the ring. Instantly, all the ancient writings lit up in a golden light, and the ring mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight.

"What?" Yun Lintian was confused. He clearly sensed the ring was still on his finger, but he could not see it.

"This is the unique ability of the ring. It can hide its presence from the Spiritual Indra of man. Not even a King Realm practitioner would be able to detect it." Yun Qianxue explained.

Yun Lintian gasped in the cold air. This invisible ability was too heaven-defying. He took a small silver needle box from his sleeve and stored it into the ring. Apparently, he could pick up and store the item while the ring was in this invisible state. With this, he had nothing to fear for anyone coveting his ring anymore.

"Thank you, Mom." Yun Lintian spoke warmly.

"That was yours from the beginning." Yun Qianxue replied.

Yun Lintian was a little confused, but he did not have time to continue the matter, as Yun Meilan had already entered into the transmis formation. He had to follow her in a hurry.

"Be careful out there." Yun Qianxue said and waved her hand.

A pattern on the transmission profound formation lit up, emitting a white light that enveloped Yun Lintian and Yun Meilan. A moment later, their figures instantly disappeared from that place. Yun Qianxue stared at the place that disappeared for a while before her figure disappeared into thin air afterward.

...

"So this is the capital?" Yun Lintian muttered while looking at the distant giant stone wall. He was now wearing a simple white robe, without a disguise. In a world where the practitioner has spiritual senses, all the disguises with simple makeup that he learned from Earth become useless. Hence, he would not bother going undercover to hide his identity.

Yun Lintian slowly walked towards the city gate. Previously, she had appeared in a secret place near the capital, and Yun Meilan had disappeared before she could say anything. However, Yun Lintian was well aware that he should be nearby.

"Far away!" Suddenly, screams came from behind everyone. A middle-aged man in gray clothes rode on a one-horned ferocious beast, while dragging a luxurious carriage.

Everyone hurriedly dodged to the side, paving the way for the incoming beast carriage. Seeing this, the city guards did not dare to say anything as they let the carriage pass through the gate without any attempt to check the identity of the carriage.

As the carriage passed by Yun Lintian, he clearly saw the word "Luo" on top of the spear symbol engraved on the body of the carriage ... Luo Clan? Undoubtedly, the person inside the carriage was either the young master or the arrogant young miss. He thinks in his heart.

When the train disappeared into the city, calm had returned to the scene as the guards kept checking everyone's identities one by one. It took another hour before Yun Lintian's turn came.

"Name?" ask a brave guard.

"Yun Lintian from Green City." Yun Lintian replied calmly.

"Oh? You're from Green Town?" The burly guard looked up and down at Yun Lintian.

"Yes. I took the train from there to Maple Town before walking into the city afterwards." Yun Lintian lied. He took out a gold coin and put it into the hands of the dashing guard before he said, "Brother guard, can you tell me where the best inn in town is?"

The burly guard glanced at the gold coin in his hand and immediately gave Yun Lintian a friendly smile: "Sure, little sister. The best inn in our Heavenly Fortune Capital City is undoubtedly the Sleepless Inn. You can take the train from here. It costs about ten silver coins."

Yun Lintian had a strange expression on his face ... A Lodge Without Sleep? What kind of place is this? This isn't a brothel, is it?

Seeing Yun Lintian's expression, the burly guard chuckled, "I know. The name is quite strange, but you can be sure, it is definitely not a brothel. I never had the opportunity to live there before, but from what I heard, the food, service and surroundings were truly the best. I can see that the younger brother is quite rich, so I think you should have no problem enjoying the service there."

"so. May I ask, which clan belongs to the inn?" Yun Lintian nodded his head and asked.

The burly guard raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of the Hua clan. Why is the little brother asking this?"

Yun Lintian smiled as he waved his hand: "It's nothing. As you can see, this is my first time in the capital. I know a little bit about the situation here. I just want to make sure that I don't offend anyone from this powerful clan."

The burly guard's eyebrows loosened: "So. The younger brother can go to the store and buy a map of the city from there. You can learn a piece of the city's general information from him."

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, brother guard. I'm going to go now."

The burly guard nodded and turned around to continue his task. Yun Lintian slowly walked through the city gate, and the sight of the city immediately appeared in his vision.

The Heavenly Fortune Capital City was extremely prosperous, worthy of being the capital of the country. All roads intersect symmetrically, with each main road very wide on both sides, these streets intertwined together like well-designed spider webs.

On both sides of the street, there were various shops. Many of these shops sold items that Yun Lintian had heard of frequently but never had the chance to see them. Most of the shops were involved in the sale and purchase of various Beast materials, low rank Spiritual Grass, and there were also some shops selling weapons. Some high-end shops, they sold various high-grade artifacts and medicinal herbs. As for restaurants, ordinary clothing stores, and brothels, they were too many to count.

Yun Lintian found the shop in question and immediately entered without thinking much. When he came out, a leather map could be seen in his hands.

"Once, there are six great clans huh?" Reading the map attentively, Yun Lintian thought inwardly.
