Chapter 7: Choose Your Own Path!

“Right now, the entire country is praising the heaven-bestowed genius Princess Zhaoyang. A thirteen-year-old fifth-grade martial artist. This is something that has never happened since the founding of the Northern Kingdom. To have such a princess is the fortune of the people…”

When w.a.n.g Shun spoke of Princess Zhaoyang, the praises on his face never stopped.

Even though Princess Zhaoyang was just a girl, she was way too strong. Even Li Yuanqing, who was once praised for his exceptional talent, only advanced to fifth-grade at the age of eighteen. And Princess Zhaoyang was only thirteen this year.

The key point was that she had gone from a third-grade martial artist to a fifth-grade martial artist in just over a year. This sort of speed of advancement was widely discussed because it was simply too amazing. She was already the number one person in the younger generations of the royal family of the Northern Kingdom.

Li Yuanqing was drinking tea while sitting on a stone bench under a pine tree. He looked at Clear Lake from afar and listened to the rustling of the pine trees nearby. w.a.n.g Shun was rambling on, but Li Yuanqing did not feel that he was nagging.

He only listened to w.a.n.g Shun with a very patient smile and talked about some things about Zhaoyang.

The current Princess Zhaoyang had become the object of admiration for almost everyone in the Northern Kingdom. She had become the most promising and prestigious royal princess of the Northern Kingdom. Her prestige even surpa.s.sed that of the Third Prince!

After all, the Third Prince was much older than her. He had been a third-grade martial artist for six years and had not shown any signs of breaking through. As a n.o.ble, he was too mediocre.

“Zhaoyang is very hardworking and strong-willed. Although she is a girl, she has always kept her promises since she was young. Actually, this kind of girl is very tough and pitiful…” Li Yuanqing put down his teacup and sighed for no reason.

Although girls were respected by many, they were very tired. Young girls should be innocent and should be pampered by others. It would be best if she acted coquettishly in her parents’ arms and occasionally caused some trouble.

“Tough? Pitiful? You mean Princess Zhaoyang? She is a princess respected by the people. His Majesty dotes on her a lot. No matter where she goes, he likes to bring Princess Zhaoyang along. She is the most respected princess of the Northern Kingdom…”

w.a.n.g Shun really couldn’t understand why His Highness would say that Princess Zhaoyang was pitiful. He couldn’t figure it out. Princess Zhaoyang was loved by everyone and now, she had become the most dazzling star in the entire Northern Kingdom. Anyone who mentioned her would praise her endlessly!

“She chose the path herself. It’s fine as long as she likes it!”

Li Yuanqing picked up another cup of tea. Just like him, Zhaoyang had chosen the path that she wanted to take. Since she was willing, he would take care of her more in the future. He was afraid that he would have to prepare some cultivation techniques for her when she ran out of those three hundred elixirs!

Very soon, w.a.n.g Shun packed up his food box and tea set before bowing and leaving.

When they left, w.a.n.g Shun said that it was almost autumn. According to past practices, there would be a beast tide every year at this time. The greatest use of the garrison in the Wilderness was actually to resist the beast tide so that the criminals sent here would have a way to survive.

Having been in this desolate place for three years, Li Yuanqing naturally knew how powerful the beast tide was. Every year, there would be casualties in the garrison. Thankfully, w.a.n.g Shun and Zhang Quan were already third-grade martial artists. Even though they were not powerful, they were more than enough to protect themselves against the beast tide.

Li Yuanqing strolled around the valley. Over the past three years, he had become an eighth-grade martial artist. In terms of strength, he had already surpa.s.sed his cheap father. However, Li Yuanqing had always been suppressing his grade. He wanted to solidify his foundation and aim for the Martial Saint realm in a few years!

The Clear Sky Swords Art had already reached the Master level, and he had made some small achievements. He did not let go of the Manipulation Art either. He practiced it almost every day, and together with the a.s.sistance of some medicinal pills, he improved at lightning speed. He had already reached level four.

At the moment, it was Li Yuanqing’s trump card.

It was a pity that there were no super strong martial artists in this Wilderness that he found pleasing to the eye. Therefore, Li Yuanqing decided to continue hiding and upgrading the inner demon seed of Manipulation Art. Then, he would continue to practice the Clear Sky Swords Art and strive to reach Master level one day. At that time, he would have hoped to break through to the Martial Saint.

Li Yuanqing felt that only after becoming a Martial G.o.d Paragon would he have some life-saving methods to occasionally leave the Wilderness.

Therefore, he was very cautious and planned to continue hiding in this small valley of the Wilderness.

The beast tide this time was very fierce. Even though w.a.n.g Shun and Zhang Quan were not on the frontlines, they still felt a lingering fear when they saw the wounded coming in and out every day. When they came to deliver food to Li Yuanqing, they could not help but bring it up.

“Speaking of which, it’s strange. The beast tide this year came too early. It’s not late autumn yet, and it’s coming so aggressively. The garrison is already struggling. I heard that the general has already requested help from the Imperial Court…” w.a.n.g Shun was also a little worried as he spoke of this year’s beast tide.

In the past, at most, there would be two or three waves of beast tides in late autumn. The highest level beasts would only be in the seventh or eighth grade. They were equivalent to the seventh or eighth grade martial artists of the Northern Kingdom. This was already considered very powerful.

However, this year, the first wave of beast tide produced a grade seven ferocious beast. This made the garrison general extremely worried. He was afraid that a Beast King would appear this year.

One had to know that the Beast King was equivalent to a ninth-grade human martial artist. It was even stronger than the current Emperor of the Northern Kingdom. Once the Beast King attacked, the Wilderness would become a wasteland and the citizens of the Northern Kingdom would be slaughtered!

“Yes, today’s tea is very delicious!” Li Yuanqing smiled and stood up to leave.

However, when w.a.n.g Shun was clearing his teacup, he was stunned. Because beside the teacup thatHis Highness had drunk, there was a Wallbreaker Pill.

That was the Wallbreaker Pill! w.a.n.g Shun’s entire body was trembling as he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, whose back could no longer be seen. He was truly indebted to His Highness.

Yet, he did not point it out nor was he willing to directly show mercy.

And even though His Highness the Crown Prince had been sent to the Wilderness, he still had such an incomparably precious Wallbreaker Pill. If it weren’t for His Highness the Crown Prince’s Replenishment Pill saving his life, Zhang Quan probably wouldn’t have survived.

That night, w.a.n.g Shun leaped to become an intermediate fourth-grade martial artist, drawing the envy of countless people.

A fourth-grade martial artist in the garrison could already lead a team with quite a number of guards following him. However, w.a.n.g Shun still brought food to Li Yuanqing obediently. He would only take the initiative to attack when they were attacked by ferocious beasts occasionally.

One day, just as Li Yuanqing was relaxing in the hot spring, a voice suddenly flashed through his mind.

[System detected the Green Light Ghost Flower at the bottom of the hot spring. Host, do you want to sign in beside the Green Light Ghost Flower?]

Green Light Ghost Flower?

Li Yuanqing, who was soaking in the hot spring, stood up from the water immediately. He lowered his head and looked at the hot spring. This was truly a good place. Not only was there a hot spring, there was also a Green Light Ghost Flower.

This was a good treasure. It was said that it was a main ingredient for healing injuries, and is able to revive the dead.

This was something that Li Yuanqing had seen in ancient books when he was the Crown Prince. He had thought that there was no such thing in this world. Who would have thought that it was hidden under a hot spring in the Wilderness?
