The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 251

Chapter 251
"Shi Tou, you want to enter this city?" Cai asked .




Shi Mu nodded . He had been roaming outside the cities for a long time . So, he needed to replenish an entire list of things .
The Auspicious River Mountain Pass was spread across a large area . Obviously, it couldn't be compared with the Heavenly Yu City by far . But, it still lived its name… a big city that was located at a defensive frontier mountain pass .
The wall of the city was seventy-or-eighty-feet in height . A kind of dark-red stone had been used to build the entire body of this wall . The wall looked very rough, and it was exceptionally strong as well . In fact, it appeared like a crawling dark-red giant .
The city had apparently experienced a heavy snowfall yesterday . Therefore, the Auspicious River Mountain Pass was covered in a layer of white . This added an exotic look to the city .
Shi Mu looked outside the city a couple of times . Then, he put on a pair of fine clothes, and walked in the direction of the city's gate .
Auspicious River Mountain Pass was the only city within the scope of hundreds of miles . This city had two exit gates - one in the north and other in the south . Also, many small towns and villages could be seen in the vicinity . Therefore, a constant stream of people could be seen flowing into the city from both gates . In fact, a long queue had got formed outside the city's gate .
Shi Mu blended into the stream of people and waited in the queue .
A few soldiers of the Great Qin Kingdom were positioned at the city's gate . In addition, two blacked-robed people could also be seen standing there in a casual manner .
Shi Mu shot a glance at these two black-robed people, and noticed that there was no mark or logo on these two people's robes . But, Shi Mu guessed that these two ought to be the Heavenly Demon Sect's disciples .
The inspection process of the people waiting to enter the Auspicious River Mountain Pass appeared very easy and relaxed . In fact, it was completely different from the Heavenly Yu City's inspection process . So, Shi Mu entered the city very smoothly after he had paid a small entrance fee at the gate .
Shi Mu took a broad view of the city, and noticed that the Auspicious River Mountain Pass's style was substantially different from that of the Heavenly Yu City . Only black-colored rocks were used for building thick and simple turrets of the buildings to maintain uniformity . The city obviously wasn't as appealing as the Heavenly Yu City's majestic beauty . But, this city had a kind of rough and boundless aura .
Shi Mu had learned a few things from the surrounding people while he was waiting to enter the city . This city was divided into two major areas - the north and the south . And, they were connected by a broad black-rock main road .
This black-rock main road was exceptionally wide . In fact, it was wide-enough to accommodate four or five horse-carts side by side . A row of shops could be seen on either side of the street . Also, the stream of people was flowing like a river through this main street . Consequently, this street was full of hustle and bustle .
In addition, there were many second-tier blocks in the city apart from this main street . But, they were far less lively and prosperous than the black-rock main street .
Shi Mu was walking on the main street, while his eyes were looking toward the shops on either side of the street .
He noticed that this street was blessed with all kinds of stores like - leather shop, blacksmith shop, material shop, grocery store, restaurants, and all needed stuff . Moreover, many specialty shops that would sell special products of the Great Qin Kingdom were also there . This was enough to make Shi Mu keep his curious eyes wide-open all the time .
Cai also looked toward the surrounding in an inquisitive manner . He often issued a few shouts out of excitement . And, this made the passers-by cast sidelong glances at him .
Shi Mu felt that the Auspicious River Mountain Pass was different from the Heavenly Yu City in all aspects . Shi Mu was walking on the street with a pet, but this was rather attracting the attention of people towards him .
Therefore, Shi Mu shot a glaring look at Cai in order to make him calm and well-behaved .




Shi Mu noticed that many people of the Heavenly Demon Sect were spread throughout the Auspicious River Mountain Pass . Therefore, he must go to the Heavenly Demon Sect as soon as possible to attend the Demon Yang Ceremony . Moreover, he shouldn't pull the attention of the people if it wasn't so necessary .
"Shi Tou, is there something that you wish to buy from here?" Cai squatted on Shi Mu's shoulder in an obedient manner and asked .
But, Shi Mu didn't give him a reply . He instead stopped in front of a shop that had a wide front . An inscribed board was horizontally hung on the shop's door . It was inscribed with three huge characters - "The Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures!"
The Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures was a store where all kinds of stuff were sold . The size of the store was pretty large . In fact, it alone had four or five forefronts . And, it was evidently superior to the neighboring shops in all aspects… like a crane in a flock of chicken .
The stream of people flowing in-and-out of this store was also considerably bigger than the other shops .
A faint smile bloomed across Shi Mu's face . He took a step and was about to step into the store . But then, his brows creased and he turned around to look towards the left side of the street .
"What happened?" Cai tracked Shi Mu's gaze and looked in the same direction where he was gazing at .
That place was also packed with the stream of people . But, it didn't seem any different from other places .
"Nothing . " A suspicious look flashed through Shi Mu's eyes . He had felt as if he had been stared at by someone in a strange manner . But, it was only for a fleeting moment… so much so that even he wasn't very sure whether it was an illusion or something else .
So, Shi Mu looked in that direction only once . Then, he took a step and walked into the shop .
A silhouette slowly walked out on the left street behind a lofty building . He was a young man who was seemingly in his twenties .
He glanced at the Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures . Then, he took out a thing from his bosom and looked at it . A trace of happiness gleamed across his face . Then, he turned around and walked towards the distance with quick steps .
In The Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures… Shi Mu was seated in a private box . And, he had also been served with a cup of tea .
Cai was seated on one side of the table, and was busy choosing a snack of his liking .
Shi Mu put down the cup, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face .
The fact was that Shi Mu hadn't wanted to waste any time . Therefore, he had revealed a trace of his Xian Tian aura when he passed through this shop's gate sometime before . Consequently, he had immediately been led to this private box by the staff .
However, he had also sighed deep in his heart . He realized that strength was the most important thing… no matter where he would go .
A sound of footsteps was heard after some time . The door of the private box made a few 'creaking' sound . Then, a blue-robed middle-aged man pushed-open the door and walked in .
"Such a noble guest has graced us with his presence . Please forgive me for not coming out to welcome you in a proper way . " The blue-robed middle-aged man looked at Shi Mu . Then, he greeted him with a broad smile .




"Your Excellency is very modest . " An idea streaked across Shi Mu's mind . He poured his spirit sense out of his body, and swept over the blue-robed middle-aged man . He then sensed the strength of the middle-aged man, and realized that he was also a Xian Tian warrior . In fact, his cultivation was somewhere between the Xian Tian primary and middle stage . Therefore, he was almost similar to Shi Mu's present level .
Shi Mu was very much satisfied by this . He had become increasingly aware of the wondrous uses of spirit sense these days .
Unfortunately, the potency of his spirit sense was still very weak . So, his scope of exploration was still very small .

"This friend looks unfamiliar to me . I still haven't asked the friend's respected name?" the blue-robe middle-aged man said .
"Mu Shi," Shi Mu thought something, and gave out a fake name .
"So, you are friend Mu . May I venture to ask what you wish to buy from our Pavilion?" The blue-robed middle-aged also seemed to be a straightforward person . He didn't waste too much time in courtesy . Instead, he jumped straight to the point .
"Mu wants to buy the Qi of some evil spirit… the best one you have," Shi Mu replied .
Shi Mu had already obtained the essence of the ape's blood . So, he only needed to obtain the Qi of some evil spirit . After that, he could start the practice of the Art of Breeding a Strong Evil Ape .
Shi Mu had strongly felt the importance of strength in the battles these days . He had already practiced the Art of Breeding a Heavenly Elephant to its acme . So, he was more focused in enhancing his physical strength now . And, he could achieve that only by practicing the Art of Breeding a Strong Evil Ape .
"The Qi of an evil spirit?" Shi Mu's words took the middle-aged man by surprise .
"What's wrong…? Don't tell me that your noble pavilion doesn't have such thing?" Shi Mu asked .
"Our shop naturally has the Qi of an evil spirit . And, it's a coincidence that our shop has purchased a number of the top-grade evil spirit Qi very recently," the blue robe middle-aged replied .
"Oh, that's great then," Shi Mu said .
"Friend Mu, please wait for a moment . " The middle-aged blue robe stood up and walked toward the exit .
. . .

A quarter of an hour later… Shi Mu walked out of the Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures with a glittering smile across his face .
The Great Qin Kingdom was worthy of being the base location of the Heavenly Demon Sect . The quality of the Evil spirit Qi they were selling was top-notch . Therefore, he had bought a large quantity of them .
Shi Mu had spent plenty of spirit stones to purchase them . But at the same time, he had also obtained a large number of spirit stones from that plump Taoist man . Shi Mu was a rich man nowadays . So, he didn't care about these spirit stones much at the moment .




He visited several grocery stores in the following time, and bought ample quantities of dried meat and other dry ration .
He stood in the mouth of the street after some time . He glanced towards the surrounding . Then, he turned around and walked in the direction of the city's northern gate .
"We are leaving already?" Cai screeched in a somewhat resentful manner .
"I have purchased all necessary things . So, I don't need to stay here anymore," Shi Mu replied .
"But, I want to go to a restaurant to stuff my stomach with delicious foods," Cai muttered .
"Wait until the next city . Then, you talk about it . " Shi Mu said .
Shi Mu didn't know why, but he was gripped with a very restless feeling . In fact, his intuition had made him leave this city so soon .
There were very few people who were departing from the city . So, Shi Mu didn't need to stand in a queue for long . Thus, he was able to leave the Auspicious River Mountain Pass very quickly .
"Hoof . . . " Shi Mu stood in a remote wilderness at the moment . He gazed towards city that was behind now, and his heart heaved a sigh of relief .
"Shi Tou, what's the matter?" Cai asked in a strange manner .
"Nothing," Shi Mu replied .
His sensing ability had become very keen ever since he advanced to the Star Rank . But, this kind of spiritual instinct wouldn't work always . This rather caused him a considerable headache .
He shook his head, and was about to move forward when…
Suddenly, a thick yellow luminescence flew over from behind at a lightning speed .
Shi Mu was startled by this . He hit his foot on the ground and shifted almost ten feet horizontally . And, he managed to evade the yellow luminescence by doing this .
Bang Bang Bang!
The yellow luminescence bombarded on the ground, and left the ground trembling by its impact . Also, a several-feet-large pit was blown-up in the ground .
The yellow luminescence dissipated and revealed the main body . It was a yellow jade scepter .
A yellow light was flowing on the surface of the scepter . It was emitting bursts of intense waves of spirit power . It was surprisingly a spirit tool .
Shi Mu was surprised by this . He again pointed his foot on the ground, and shot a big distance backwards . Simultaneously, he turned his hand and pulled out the black blade and the short stick . Then, he held them in his hands .
Whiz Whiz Whiz!
A large green wind-blade emerged . It was followed by ten or more wind-blades that were shot directly towards Shi Mu… it seemed as if they were showering on him .
Shi Mu was already in a retreating motion . So, he was unable to dodge the attack this time . He lowered his eyes and let out a low shout .
Then, he wielded his short stick and a burst of white luminescence gushed out of his body . It condensed into a shell-shaped pale-white light-shield, and blocked in front of him .
But, the pale-white light-shield was left shaking violently for a moment as the green wind-blade smashed into it . Then, the light-shield collapsed and dispersed with a loud sound .
After that, a series of 'Ping Ping' sound rang out in the air!
A greater part of the remaining wind-blades were blocked by Shi Mu's black blade and stick . But, a few of them eventually fell on his body . However, his body was being protected by his Real Qi . Consequently, a massive fore surged up, and forced him to withdraw a few steps in quick succession . Then, he stabilized his body and stood firm .
"Boy, you are running very fast . I almost failed to catch up with you!" a cold voice resounded .
Shi Mu was left alarmed by the voice . He looked up and saw that a green-robed middle-aged man stood in front of him . Shi Mu hadn't even noticed him until now . There was a cold and fearless look on the man's face . His eyes were almost similar to a poisonous snake's . And, there was a hint of an ice-cold smile around the corners of his mouth .
In addition, two young men also stood behind this middle-aged man . One of them was the same young man who had been sneaking a look at Shi Mu outside the Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures .
"Is it him?" the sinister-faced middle-aged man shot a glance at Shi Mu as he asked the young man .
"Elder Feng, it's this person only . I can't be wrong," the young man replied in a respectful manner .
"Well, he looks very much like . . . " the middle-aged man turned his hand and fished out a fist-sized white jade slip . The image of a person emerged on that slip… it was actually Shi Mu's image .
Shi Mu saw the image on the jade slip, and his complexion changed very drastically .
"Well, you wait here . Let me grab this person . You will definitely receive not-so-less benefits," the middle-aged man said .
"Thank you so much, Elder Feng . " The young man was overjoyed to hear this . So, he bowed towards him and thanked .
"Who are you? Why did you ambush me?" Shi Mu asked in a low voice . Meanwhile, he assigned his spirit sense away from his body, and swept over these three people . And, his pupil slightly shrank as a result .
There was nothing important to mention about those two young men since they were merely Hou Tian marital warriors . However, the turbulent surge of magic power within the middle-aged man's body could be clearly felt . His cultivation was obviously not trivial . He was actually a Star-grade magician .
