138: While exploring the capital, I encountered injustice on the street!
After a night of frantic Cultivation, he had absorbed all three bottles of dragon blood body tempering fluid.
And his Physical Body strength had reached an unprecedented Peak!
Five hundred thousand catties!
A full five hundred thousand catties of pure Physical Body strength!
"This strength..."
Li Qing felt the surging and roaring power within his body, and he himself was startled.
He now had absolute confidence that even if a Peak Spirit Transformation Realm expert stood before him, he could blast them apart with a single punch!
"It's time to go out for a walk."
After his strength soared, Li Qing's mood also became extremely good.
He planned to visit the seaside of the Imperial Capital.
The Imperial Capital, backed by the East Sea.
That boundless ocean was the true stage for his Deep Sea Dragon Turtle Clone.
The Qiu River in Jinling City was already too small for his current Clone.
He needed to go to the seaside to set a coordinate for his Clone, and then find an opportunity to let it cross a thousand li to reach this broader world.
Only in the ocean could the Clone grow the fastest, devour more powerful Vicious Beasts of the sea, and gain more evolution value!
He pushed open the door and walked out.
Outside Tiantian Garden, the squad of Eastern Palace armored guards still stood like spears. Seeing Li Qing emerge, the captain at the head immediately stepped forward and respectfully saluted.
"Young Master."
Li Qing nodded, said nothing more, and walked straight towards the outside of the garden.
The presence of these people was both surveillance and a protective charm.
At least on the surface, the people on the Grand Princess's side no longer dared to easily attack him.
This saved him a lot of trouble.
Stepping out of Tiantian Garden, Li Qing took a deep breath of the Imperial Capital's morning air.
The air was filled with a scent of prosperity and hustle, completely different from the tranquility of Jinling City.
He didn't rush to inquire about the route to the East Sea coast but leisurely strolled along the wide street.
On one hand, it was to familiarize himself with the environment of the Imperial Capital.
On the other hand, it was also to feel the pulse of this power center of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The street was paved with smooth bluestone slabs, wide enough for more than a dozen carriages to travel side by side.
Along both sides of the street were rows of shops, restaurants, and tea houses, each building intricately carved and painted, magnificent and extraordinary, far beyond what the small shops in Jinling City could compare to.
The pedestrians on the street were shoulder to shoulder, a continuous flow.
Li Qing keenly noticed that the proportion of Martial Artists here was astonishingly high.
Even a peddler carrying a pole and shouting his wares might be a skilled Body Refining Realm seven or eight stage expert.
As for the guests entering and exiting high-end shops, their aura was condensed; Condensing Essence Realm practitioners were everywhere, and Meridian Opening Realm practitioners filled the streets.
There were even many auras similar to Zhuang Bai.
"As expected of the Imperial Capital."
Li Qing secretly sighed in his heart.
The Cultivation resources and martial Dao atmosphere here truly surpassed a small place like Jinling City by an unknown number of streets.
After a stroll.
Seeing the sun rise and approaching noon.
He then realized.
He had to hurry to the seaside.
As he walked, he asked passersby for directions to the East Sea coast.
The Imperial Capital was vast; from his current location to the seaside, even by taking the fastest carriage, it would take half a day.
Just as he was planning his route and preparing to find a carriage company.
A commotion and disturbance suddenly came from the middle of the street not far ahead, attracting his attention.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a crowd of people completely blocking the street, as if there was something exciting to watch inside.
Li Qing was not someone who liked to watch excitement.
But for some reason, his heart stirred, and as if by some strange impulse, he walked towards the crowd.
Li Qing's figure was slender and not particularly conspicuous in the crowd, but his steps were light. He only took a few casual steps, and like a swimming fish, he easily passed through the dense crowd and reached the innermost circle.
The sight before him made his brows furrow slightly.
In the center of the street, a splendidly dressed but somewhat lewd-looking young man in brocade robes, accompanied by several lackey-like servants, had surrounded a young girl.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a faded blue cloth dress, tightly clutching a half-worn medicine box to her chest.
Her appearance was delicate and pretty, not stunning, but her eyes were exceptionally bright, revealing a stubborn defiance.
At this moment, her beautiful face was filled with anxiety and anger. She bit her lip tightly, glaring fiercely at the young man in brocade robes before her.
"Little girl of the Su Family, this Young Master is talking to you, are you mute?"
The young man in brocade robes had a lewd smile on his face, his thieving eyes shamelessly scrutinizing the girl, as if he wanted to strip her clothes off.
"For this Young Master to fancy you, that's a blessing you cultivated for eight lifetimes! How dare you show this Young Master attitude?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his fat hand, adorned with expensive jade thumb rings, intending to grab the girl's wrist.
"Don't touch me!"
The girl exclaimed, quickly stepping back, clutching the medicine box tightly to her chest, her eyes filled with fury.
The surrounding pedestrians crowded the area, craning their necks to watch the spectacle, their expressions varied.
There was sympathy, anger, contempt, but more often, fear and numbness.
Not a single person dared to stand up and speak a word of justice.
"Tsk tsk, it's that little bastard from the Liu Family again."
"Lower your voice! Do you want to die? His father is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, we can't afford to offend him!"
"Poor girl, she's so pretty, she's probably going to be ruined by this beast."
"Alas, what can be done? This is the Imperial Capital, a paradise for the powerful, and our Hell. We'd better leave quickly, lest we get into trouble."
Suppressed discussions spread through the crowd.
Li Qing listened to these discussions, then looked at the arrogant young man in brocade robes and the helpless girl in the center of the scene, feeling no ripples in his heart.
He had seen such acts of bullying by relying on power many times in TV shows in his previous life. Although he hadn't seen them in reality, he could imagine them.
It had nothing to do with him.
He came to the Imperial Capital to acquire resources and evolve his Clone, not to be a righteous hero.
The less trouble, the better.
He shook his head and turned to leave.
However, just as he turned around, the situation in the arena changed again.
The young man in brocade robes, seeing the girl repeatedly dodging, seemed to have lost his patience. His smile became even more sinister, and he waved his hand at his lackeys.
