Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 576 - 555: Wild Horse City (1/3)

Huo Tian’s charm was certainly not to be underestimated.

Zhou Heng had originally thought that it would take some persuasion to get Yang Lanxin to accept the other women, but after seeing Huo Tian, the peerless Heavenly Maiden, Yang Lanxin was completely won over.

In her view, if even Huo Tian could accept Zhou Heng’s philandering ways, why couldn’t she?

Undoubtedly, although Huo Tian had not yet entered Zhou Heng’s inner courtyard, she was already the de facto ruler of the harem. If she wished, she could even make Zhou Heng spend every night alone.

The incident with Liu Hanye getting beaten did not cause much of a stir and seemed to settle down.

However, the matter was not so easily concluded.

Liu Zishuang didn’t take action on behalf of his son because Zhou Heng was a junior, and he also had a close relationship with Yang Lanxin. If he attacked Zhou Heng, it would be seen as bullying the young and could even split the entire Yang family!

So he had to wait for Yang Tiehu to finish his seclusion to pressure Zhou Heng into apologizing and offering compensation through Yang Tiehu.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that with Zhou Heng’s character, how could he bow his head to others, as long as he believed he was not wrong?

That night, Zhou Heng distributed some Green Brilliance Pills, which were especially beneficial to the Moonlight King, keeping twenty pills behind as they were meant to generate money.

He asked Yang Lanxin, "Is there a larger Heavenly Treasure Pavilion nearby?"

"If you’re looking for a larger one, you’ll have to go to Wild Horse City!"

Zhou Heng had heard her discuss the Nine Great Cities before; they serve as the administrative centers of Xihai City, intimidating opponents from all directions. If they encounter an enemy they can’t handle, they can seek help from Juexian City, and an expert will naturally be dispatched from above.

"Is there a Space Artifact that can contain living creatures?" he asked again.

"Such special Space Artifacts are known as Immortal Residences!" Yang Lanxin smiled and corrected Zhou Heng, "However, Immortal Residences are rare, least of all in cities like Hai Immortal City, Xu Immortal City, and You Immortal City!"

"Moreover, even when one appears, the price is ridiculously high, at least ten million Lower Grade Immortal Stones!"

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "I want to take a look!" If he wanted to make his way in the Immortal Realm, he naturally didn’t want to separate from his women and needed to find a better place for them to stay.

"I’ll go with you!" Yang Lanxin smiled gently, her allure fully displayed, captivatingly enchanting.

This woman had never deliberately flaunted herself, but she was naturally seductive. Each smile and gesture was charming, utterly irresistible.

Zhou Heng felt a warmth in his heart and suddenly pulled her into his arms, biting at her earlobe, he said, "Now that we have returned to the Yang family, isn’t it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

Yang Lanxin gave him a glance, originally, they had agreed that she would fully give herself to him only upon marriage. But this fellow was really lustful, having just returned to the Yang family and already thinking about consuming her!

"Stop—" she held down Zhou Heng’s hand, struggling to spit out a word. A bead of sweat appeared on her nose as she was already getting a bit wet down there.

"Hehe!" Zhou Heng chuckled. He was not in a rush; to him, since the love between them was already decided, what difference did it make whether something happened sooner or later?

"You should refine some more Green Brilliance Pills... I can use them!" After Zhou Heng pulled back, Yang Lanxin turned around and kissed him.

Green Brilliance Pills are a fine good, excellent for winning people’s hearts. Those in power must administer both grace and authority to ensure a long rule, and Yang Lanxin obviously knew this well. However, having just rejected Zhou Heng and now asking him for a favor, Miss Yang felt somewhat apologetic, thus she initiated the kiss.

"Turns out I’m just a laborer?" Zhou Heng pretended to complain.

"Just for me, aren’t you willing?" Yang Lanxin coquettishly glanced at him.

"Hehe, I’m only willing to toil away and exhaust myself for you!"

"Rascal!"

...

Traveling to Wild Horse City for business, they naturally couldn’t make a big scene by bringing all the women with them. If they did that, Zhou Heng might end up just fighting duels with spoiled young masters all the time.

—He was very confident of the women’s beauty.

After some discussion, they decided that the Moon Shadow Saintess and Yang Lanxin would accompany Zhou Heng, while the others would stay obediently at the Yang family’s residence, fearless with Huo Tian in charge.

The Black Donkey also wanted to join in the fun, but this shameless donkey was even more troublesome than Zhou Heng, how could Zhou Heng dare to let it go?

After arrangements were made, Zhou Heng set off with the two women.

The Moon Shadow Saintess was chosen by the women because her relationship with Zhou Heng had just started heating up before they separated. The other women were understanding enough to give the Moon Shadow Saintess more time with Zhou Heng.

Moreover, she and Yang Lanxin had met once before.

The first time, the Moon Shadow Saintess was masked, and Yang Lanxin didn’t know what she looked like. Back then, she was quite confident, believing that the Moon Shadow Saintess was nothing special in terms of beauty. But now, seeing her true face, Yang Lanxin’s competitive spirit was ignited.

In terms of beauty, the Moon Shadow Saintess definitely had the edge. However, Yang Lanxin excelled with a more voluptuous figure; only Gu Zi’s bosom could beat hers slightly, and her firm and rounded buttocks were unique among the women.

Also, her seductive charm was one of the best, barely weaker than Xiao Huoshui’s Charming Skill. Combining beauty, physique, and allure, she possessed the qualifications to compete with the Moon Shadow Saintess in charm.

Zhou Heng, looking from one to the other, found both women supremely captivating in their own ways; it was difficult to say who was more enchanting.

"Since they’re both his women, why bother making such clear distinctions?"

This is what he thought, but how could women truly get along harmoniously? Moreover, since both women were of disastrous allure, they naturally wanted to establish a hierarchy and their silent battles were ceaseless.

Zhou Heng quite enjoyed this competition, for regardless of the outcome, he was always the one who reaped the most pleasure.

After a half day filled with intoxicating allure, they arrived outside Wild Horse City.

This was the first real city Zhou Heng had seen since he came to the Immortal Realm.

True to its name as one of the only nine cities on this continent, Wild Horse City was incredibly vast, named so because the entire city was shaped like a galloping horse.

As explained by Yang Lanxin, Wild Horse City was protected by a defensive formation laid down by an expert from Juexian City; once activated, even the Sunshine King couldn’t breach it, making it one of the safest places in Xihai City.

Indeed, with the renowned name of Juexian City as its deterrent, even without the defenses of the formation, no power would dare attack Wild Horse City unless they were tired of living.

Upon seeing Wild Horse City, Zhou Heng understood why the marketplace of the Meng Family was merely called a marketplace. Indeed, the Meng Family’s marketplace could only compare with cities from the Mortal Realm, whereas Wild Horse City... it was at least a hundred times bigger!

To enter this city, one either needed the cultivation level of the Moonlight Sovereign, an Immortal City Order of that rank, or be a "native" resident with a special access token. The city had four gates, each guarded by soldiers to maintain order.

Yang Lanxin had an Immortal City Order, so they entered the city without much trouble.

As expected of one of the Nine Great Cities, though not tall, the city boasted a more refined Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of spiritual energy even surpassing that above the Yang family’s mountain––a testament to why only outsiders of the Moonlight Sovereign level could enter, as spiritual energy itself was a resource! freeweɓnøvel.com

Of course, the denser the spiritual energy, the greater the gravitational force.

"Zhou Heng, don’t cause trouble!"

"My lord, don’t cause trouble!"

Upon entering the city gates, both women almost simultaneously said this to Zhou Heng. After they finished speaking, both burst into laughter, clearly very familiar with Zhou Heng’s character––he was always one to stir the pot!

Zhou Heng’s face darkened. Was he really such a troublemaker?

Annoyed, he walked ahead of them with his hands behind his back, but he hadn’t gone far before he stopped.

"Why aren’t you walking?" Yang Lanxin asked knowingly.

"Nonsense, I don’t know the way!" Zhou Heng glanced at the woman’s hips. Was she asking to be spanked again?

Yang Lanxin, startled by his aggressive gaze, quickly walked over and hooked his arm, saying, "You petty guy!"

The trio headed straight for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Though not the only shop in Wild Horse City, it was the most powerful merchant there; what others had, it had, and what it had, others might not.

Zhou Heng first sold twenty Huaqing Pills, then bought a large batch of materials.

The pharmacists at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion here were of a higher level, flaunting Two Star Pharmacist titles, yet still were astonished by the top-grade Huaqing Pills and offered a high price of three thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones each for them.

Indeed, Zhou Heng could have earned more by consigning them for auction through the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but what did alchemy mean to Zhou Heng now? He simply couldn’t be bothered to wait.

However, as Yang Lanxin had said, treasures like Immortal Residences were too rare in Hai Immortal City, appearing once every ten years at least, and their prices went up to the tens of millions in Lower Grade Immortal Stones.

Zhou Heng knew that Immortal Residences weren’t something one could just buy if desired, yet he still felt a bit disappointed. The three of them left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and as they walked, he suddenly stopped and turned his gaze toward a building.

To be precise, toward the sign on the building.

"Pharmacists Association?" Yang Lanxin followed Zhou Heng’s gaze, confusion crossing her beautiful face.

"Let’s go, I want to snag myself a Ten Star Pharmacist title for fun!" Zhou Heng laughed.

While a pharmacist’s rating might not symbolize strength, pharmacists were exceedingly rare throughout the Immortal Realm; having such a title would undeniably be a good protective charm.

He said Black Donkey was the troublemaker, but in reality, he was the one. Anything he disliked, he’d be ready to punch out!

Yang Lanxin and the Moon Shadow Saintess exchanged glances, both thinking how difficult it was to achieve Ten Star Pharmacist––that was the title of a Holy Pharmacist!

The word "Holy" was not to be used lightly!

Back in the Xuanqian Continent, Saint Yangtian, with his vast martial spirit, had spent countless years before he was honored as a Saint, and no one else, not even the Great Eternal Emperor, had managed to earn a title with the word "Saint."

It was said, the number of pharmacists in the entire Immortal Realm bearing the "Holy" in their title did not exceed ten!

Zhou Heng, claiming he wanted a Ten Star Pharmacist title just for fun, really talked big.

But what could they do, since he was their man? After exchanging glances, both women obediently followed Zhou Heng.

—Smart women know when to absolutely go along with their man.

"Pharmacists Association, no trespassing!" Seeing Zhou Heng and the three approaching, the two guards at the entrance immediately shouted, their presence exuding the aura of the Moonlight King.
