Longevity Begins with Internal Organs-Chapter 303 - 199: The Fleshly Treasure Vessel Crosses the Bitter Sea (Part 2)

Chapter 303: Chapter 199: The Fleshly Treasure Vessel Crosses the Bitter Sea (Part 2)

And now, Zhao Ya is only at half-step into the Fifth Realm, yet he already possesses a lifespan comparable to an expert in the Meridian Opening Realm, which is simply extraordinarily powerful.

Because this means Zhao Ya has ample time to train slowly.

No matter how lacking in talent he might be, he can gradually grow stronger with time, reaching heights unattainable by others.

Moreover, Zhao Ya’s talent isn’t considered poor, so the heights he can achieve will be even more unimaginable.

Just as Zhao Ya had finished practicing the Eight Vajra Longevity Skill, he suddenly caught out of the corner of his eye the shadow of carriages on the distant official road.

Zhao Ya’s spirit immediately lifted, and he concentrated his gaze.

Indeed.

A caravan appeared on the distant official road.

Blown by strong winds, the caravan’s pace was very slow, but they were indeed moving, heading towards the direction of the post station.

Zhao Ya made no moves, quietly going downstairs to inform the watchmen to wake the other guards to ensure the caravan’s safety, while he hid in the shadows to continue observing.

If it were merely a passing merchant caravan, Zhao Ya naturally wouldn’t interfere.

But how could a normal merchant caravan be on the move in such terrible weather, late at night?

This was clearly an anomaly, so Zhao Ya decided to play it safe.

Even though his skills were at half-step into the Fifth Realm, he could even fight Lu Dingtai to a standstill, Zhao Ya remained cautious and prudent everywhere.

Because it wasn’t just himself here, Zui’Er and Shang Luoluo were also present, and any mistake could endanger both himself and others.

Just as Zhao Ya had everything ready, the caravan approached the post station.

Seeing the lights on inside the post station and another caravan already occupying the courtyard, a guard braved the wind and walked up to the central carriage.

"Young Master, the post station already has a caravan inside."

The carriage window opened, revealing a handsome young man.

His attire was splendid, and the ring with a pearl on his hand indicated his wealth was substantial.

Upon hearing the guard’s report, the young man frowned slightly.

"We’ve been traveling so long just to find a sheltered place, but now it’s already occupied. Quite unlucky."

He then gestured for a prosperous-looking middle-aged man.

"Old Ding, go and negotiate with the people inside. The post station is large enough; it shouldn’t be a problem for them to give up half the space to us."

"Yes, Young Master, I will try now."

The man named Old Ding walked towards the post station, but before he got close, Zhao Ya revealed himself, blocking the way.

Zhao Ya had heard all their conversations while hiding in the dark.

Once he confirmed it was indeed a merchant caravan and not bandits, Zhao Ya sighed with slight relief.

But he didn’t expect this so-called Young Master to speak so boldly, expecting them to give up half the space.

So Zhao Ya intercepted Old Ding before he could enter.

"Sorry, we discovered and cleaned up this post station first, so we cannot accommodate you," Zhao Ya stated calmly.

Old Ding was startled by Zhao Ya’s sudden appearance and looked back at the Young Master.

Though the Young Master saw Zhao Ya’s sudden appearance, he seemed unimpressed by his words.

"This post station has been deserted for a long time, it’s ownerless land, so why is it occupied by you?"

"Give me half the space, and by dawn, I’ll reward you with a thousand gold taels, otherwise...."

As the young man spoke, several guards quietly appeared before the carriage, glaring at Zhao Ya.

Fourth Realm!

These guards were actually Fourth Realm Martial Artists!

Seeing this, even Zhao Ya felt a tinge of surprise.

Since when have Fourth Realm Martial Artists become so common? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Even a merchant caravan’s guards were Fourth Realm Martial Artists, wasn’t that too much?

Zhao Ya’s silence led the Young Master to believe he was afraid, which made him smile, "Quickly make way, or else...."

Before he finished, Zhao Ya slowly drew his blade; the restrained aura expanded.

The fierce, overwhelming aura caused the guards to change their expressions instantly.

And Zhao Ya sneered, "Or else what?"

Half-step Fifth Realm!

No, judging by this aggressive aura, it might be a Fifth Realm Martial Artist.

The guards quickly assessed the situation and calmed down.

The Young Master did the same.

His previously arrogant demeanor vanished upon sensing Zhao Ya’s icy murderous intent, and he laughed dryly.

"Just joking, just joking, since it’s inconvenient, we’ll camp outside!"

With a glance, the caravan retreated and set up camp beside the official road, not far from the post station.

At this moment, the guards inside the post station were also alerted and came out to watch.

"Master Zhao, what’s going on?"

Someone asked in surprise when they saw the caravan setting up camp.

"Nothing, it’s supposed to be a passing merchant caravan, wanting to shelter in the post station, but I refused."

Actually, Zhao Ya did not believe this was just a merchant caravan.

What kind of merchant caravan could afford Fourth Realm Martial Artists as guards?

Moreover, that Young Master was no ordinary person either.

But Zhao Ya had nothing to do with that, nor did he care what these people were up to.

As long as they stayed out of the post station, and by tomorrow morning, they could go their separate ways.
