After leaving Inquiry Sword Peak, Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin sped towards the Royal City.

"You've offended Liu Zhe, you'd better be careful in the future."

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie with a glint of surprise in her eyes and said.

She did not expect that Wang Ruoxie would dare to directly confront Liu Zhe, a core disciple.

"He's just a core disciple, nothing to be afraid of."

Wang Ruoxie heard his words and smiled faintly in response.

Although his current strength was not enough to contend with Liu Zhe, who was at the Sixth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, if the other party dared to come and kill him, he certainly had some ability to resist.

Moreover, if he forcefully used some of the methods from his previous life, it was entirely possible to counter-kill the opponent. Of course, using such methods would severely drain his vitality and could only be used for self-preservation at most.

Besides, as long as he could break through to the Element Transformation Realm, even if it was just the First Layer, his strength would definitely be greatly enhanced. By then, he would make Liu Zhe understand that a core disciple is really nothing in front of him.

Hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Tang Miaoyin said no more.

However, in her heart, she thought that the reason Wang Ruoxie offended Liu Zhe was because of her. If Liu Zhe went too far, she should indeed help Wang Ruoxie solve this trouble.

After half an hour, the two of them arrived in the vast and majestic Royal City.

The wide roads were bustling with people, appearing extremely lively.

Moreover, most of the pedestrians on the road were martial cultivators, though most were in the Body Tempering Realm, which was enough to prove the prosperity of the Royal City.

Cry of peddlers could be heard from the shops along the street from time to time.

Wang Ruoxie looked up and found that the goods sold in those shops were far beyond what Wuyi County could compare with.

"What, is this your first time in the Royal City?"

Tang Miaoyin smiled at Wang Ruoxie and said.

"I suppose so."

Wang Ruoxie nodded. Although he had arrived in the Royal City by the Flying Warship before, he left soon after to head towards Inquiry Sword Peak, never truly entering the Royal City.

"In that case, let me give you a good tour of the Royal City first."

Tang Miaoyin said again.

"Alright."

Wang Ruoxie nodded, smiling as he responded.

Tang Miaoyin, being the Seventh Princess of the Royal Family, grew up in the Royal City and was naturally very familiar with it. With her leading, he could get well acquainted with this place.

After all, he would be coming here often in the future, and being familiar with the place would certainly save him a lot of trouble.

After touring the Royal City for about two hours, they arrived at a bustling area in the center of the Royal City.

At this moment, in front of them was an extremely luxurious palace building.

Above the main gate of the palace was a plaque with three grand characters — Star Hall.

"This is the Star Hall."

Tang Miaoyin said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Good calligraphy."

Wang Ruoxie glanced up at the three characters of "Star Hall" and couldn't help but commend them.

Though the characters weren't spiritual characters, they contained a special aura and a faint formidable power. Evidently, the person who wrote these characters must have an extraordinary cultivation, possibly even at the Celestial Human Realm.

Moreover, just from the calligraphic artistry itself, they were indeed excellent characters.

"You understand calligraphy?"

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie in surprise and asked.

"A little."

Wang Ruoxie smiled lightly and replied.

Then, the two lifted their steps and walked into the Star Hall.

"So many people."

Stepping into the Star Hall, Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly. The entire hall was packed with people, as dense as a sea of humanity.

Along the sides of the hall, there were several pavilions and terraces.

And below the pavilions were rows of stalls.

Almost every stall was surrounded by crowds.

Wang Ruoxie felt as if he had arrived at a marketplace, with the sounds of bargaining, hawking, and arguing continuously rushing into his ears, quite noisy.

"The Star Hall is the largest trading place in the Royal City, bar none. Here, you can trade away excess resources or purchase the resources you need."

Tang Miaoyin introduced to Wang Ruoxie: "As long as you have enough money, you can buy almost anything here, whether it's cultivation and martial techniques, divine secret techniques, weapons, treasures, pills, demon beasts, etc., even women can be bought here."

Hearing Tang Miaoyin's words, Wang Ruoxie's heart was stirred. He had obtained quite a few things during the second assessment. This trip to the Star Hall was to sell off those unused items.

Of course, his main purpose for coming here was to buy some refining materials.

They faced the possibility of encountering the Blood Demon when heading to the Underground Blood Cave. Coupled with Liu Zhe potentially striking at any moment, he needed to prepare in advance.

With his current cultivation, he could already refine Second Grade pills and treasure artifacts. If he had enough materials, he could even attempt to refine a lower grade Spiritual Artifact.

If he had the assistance of a lower grade Spiritual Artifact, his strength could increase by at least fifty percent.

"Am I seeing things, isn't that the Seventh Princess?"

"No mistake, I see it too, that really is the Seventh Princess."

"No wonder the Seventh Princess is known as one of East Victory Kingdom's ten greatest beauties; she truly is stunning."

"Who's that boy beside the Seventh Princess? He seems so intimate with her, could he be some prince?"

"Look at his shabby clothes and cultivation only at the Ninth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm; how could he be a prince? He's probably just the Seventh Princess's bodyguard or follower."

At this time, many recognized Tang Miaoyin and couldn't help but focus their gaze on her, gossiping about her.

Especially the young men, each of them looked excited.

As everyone knew, Tang Miaoyin's beauty had long spread throughout the Royal City. She was the dream goddess of countless young talents and noble heirs. Her admirers were innumerable, probably enough to circle the Royal City several times.

Add to that her identity as the Seventh Princess, which drove many crazy.

Unfortunately, it was usually as hard as ascending to the heavens to even catch a glimpse of her. Who would have thought they'd be able to see her up close this day? Naturally, it caused a great sensation.

"Who's that boy able to walk with the Seventh Princess?"

In a distant pavilion, four young men were seated together, all eyes fixed on Tang Miaoyin and Wang Ruoxie.

"It's him, I didn't expect this guy to dare to come to the Royal City."

A young man in fine clothes with a pale face, eyes glinting with cold intent, spoke.

"Zhu An, you know him?"

Another tall and thin man asked.

"Yu Feng, Xiong Qi, Lou Xing, do you three dare to join me in confronting this guy?"

Zhu An's gaze shifted to the other three, asking.

"Why wouldn't we dare? It's a perfect chance to get to know the Seventh Princess."

The tall and thin man named Yu Feng smiled.

Xiong Qi and Lou Xing both nodded repeatedly, even though they knew full well that, given their statuses, the Seventh Princess's favor was beyond their reach. Still, getting closer to her and perhaps exchanging a few words would be a rather delightful thing.
