"Inn, it should be …" Taotie wasn't too sure. After all, it had been trapped in the soul tempering cave for far too long.

Mu Xiaoling quickly adjusted herself. "Why are we here?"

"He lives next door to the place Xiao Yu found."

As soon as Tao Zi finished his sentence, the door creaked open. Xiao Yu walked in carrying a tray with some food on it.

Mu Xiaoling couldn't help but growl when he smelled the fragrance of the rice.

Xiao Yu placed the dishes on the table, "I think you're hungry too, get up and eat."

Mu Xiaoling sat up with much effort and moved to the table, taking small bites of the rice.

Xiao Yu poured a cup of water and pushed it in front of Mu Xiaoling, saying, "You've been unconscious for one day and one night. This is Yun Lai City's inn."

Yun Lai City wasn't that close to the Mu Family's mountain range and was close to the Yan State border. Mu Xiaoling didn't expect that Xiao Yu would take her so far in such a short period of time.

Xiao Yu asked her, "What do you plan to do next?"

Mu Xiaoling was stunned, but she thought of Nangong Wen. She originally wanted to take Nangong Wen and live a good life, unlike how they were separated by heaven, where should she go next …

She was at a loss as to how to answer this question.

Xiao Yu asked again, "What do you want to do?"

What do I want to do...

Mu Xiaoling thought back to her experiences in life and death. She was weak and could only think of other strategies to deal with any situation. However, what if she became stronger?

If she was already a Martial Spirit, would those people still dare to scheme against her?

In the end, she was still too weak.

Mu Xiaoling's gaze became more and more resolute as he said, "I want to become stronger."

Xiao Yu nodded, "Do you know of the secret plane?"

Mu Xiaoling shook her head. The original owner had been a fool for fourteen years, so the amount of information he had was limited. "What is a secret realm?"

"There are two ways to form a secret realm. The first is to form a natural world. The second is to create a space fragment that is created by a powerful cultivator. No matter which one it is, there might be treasures hidden inside, and everyone is here for them." Xiao Yu patiently explained to her, "The secret realm this time is within the borders of the Ling Kingdom. I heard that it's only just the first inklings and it hasn't even officially opened.

The lower realms were separated into seven different nations, namely Ling, Chu, Xiao, Xiang, Zhou, Yan and Xia. The biggest was Ling, the smallest was Xia, and Yan was not very close to Ling.

Mu Xiaoling calculated the time. "It's only the fourth month now. That means we have a year's time. We can go to the Ling Kingdom first and then see the situation."

Xiao Yu agreed, "Alright, but you have to take care of your health first."

Nurturing the body was a slow and meticulous task. Although Mu Xiaoling's spatial ring had all sorts of miraculous pills and medicines, by relying on its efficacy, it was impossible to leave any hidden dangers on the body. Left or right, she was only overdrawing her dantian.

The Yan Kingdom and the Ling Country did not border on each other. They had to first head to Chu and then use the Chu Country's border to enter Ling Country.

If so, they would need a car.

The weather was sunny today. Mu Xiaoling and Xiao Yu left the inn together and headed to the basement where they sold carriages.

Xiao Yu had asked around a long time ago, and found out that the place that Cloud Arrival City sold livestock and slaves was in the same wide alley called All Living Things Lane.

Mu Xiaoling looked at the two sides of the alley where slaves and animals were sitting and decided upon. People were shuttling back and forth, and those who wanted to close their eyes had to go up and take a look.

There was no more than 100 forms of life in this world.

Mu Xiaoling knew that she wouldn't be able to change this society. She tightly closed her eyes and, when she opened them, she had already cleared away all distractions and stepped into this alley of living beings.

Perhaps they also needed a slave who knew how to drive a carriage.

Mu Xiaoling walked to the front of the crowd and heard the cheers from the crowd.

She curiously walked over and through the crowd, she saw a young man dancing with a whip.

The man's eyes were deep and unfathomable. His facial features were strong and had a hint of exotic charm to them. He was only wearing a pair of pants, and his bare upper body revealed his wheat colored skin.

The man's movements were extremely swift and fierce. A long whip seemed to have come to life in his hand, as he swung it with a cracking sound.

"Everyone, this is my hard work, Tower Xia. As of now, he is already at the sixth level of the Martial Master realm, he is good at using whips, his martial arts are also related to whips. If everyone here has a high opinion of him, please offer a price, those who have a high price will get it."

"I bid 10 taels!"

"I'll pay twenty taels."

"Fifty silver!"

"One hundred liang." A potbellied young noble walked out with big steps, "I'm from the Shen family, whoever dares to fight with me will be thrown into the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave!"

The crowd went silent at his words. There were two more people who wanted to bid, but they endured in the end with looks of dissatisfaction on their faces.

However, Mu Xiaoling wasn't afraid of this. "I bid a thousand taels."

The fat young master surnamed Shen glared at Mu Xiaoling and shouted, "You ugly girl, are you looking for a beating?"

Mu Xiaoling shot a glance at him. "Since the highest bidder has it, why can't I bid?"

The fat young master pointed at himself with his thumb. "I am from the Shen family. If you offend us, we will make sure that you do not leave the Cloud Arrival City."

Mu Xiaoling slowly patted the creases on her clothes. "Do you know what happened to the last person who said those words to me?"

The fat young master asked subconsciously, "What will happen?"

Mu Xiaoling said, "The family was exterminated."

The fat young master held his breath before laughing out loud, "Who are you trying to trick? How could a little girl like you have the ability to destroy my Shen family? You have to know that the Shen family is the Yun Lai City's number one family."

Mu Xiaoling opened her mouth and only said three words, "I've never heard of it before."

The middle-aged owner quickly advised, "The Shen family is indeed not to be trifled with. Little girl, you should leave quickly."

Mu Xiaoling ignored the hooting fat young master and the boss and looked at Ta Xia. "I'm lacking a coachman. Are you willing to come with me?"

After a moment of silence, Theo nodded: "I am willing."

Mu Xiaoling took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it over to the middle-aged owner. Then, he took the contract from Ta Xia.

The fat young master was enraged. "You ugly girl! How dare you disrespect your father, tie her up for me!"

The fat young master brought four servants, all level three of the Fighter, to surround Mu Xiaoling. However, after one round, all of them fell to the ground.

No one saw how Mu Xiaoling made her move.

Mu Xiaoling's final punch landed on the plump young master's chest, knocking him over. "Scram."

You … Just you wait! " "The fat young master's front teeth had been knocked out, and he was barely able to keep his mouth shut. He turned around and ran, but his speed was as fast as a rat's.

The boss said, "Little girl, this Shen family is the leader of the gang. Offending them might not be easy."
