After the town was built, caravans began to come and go. The streets have also become much more lively. There are more businessmen, and there are more outlaws who steal mines, and from time to time, some uninvited guests will suddenly break into the practice place of Shi Yan and others. Internal cultivation requires tranquility and must not be disturbed, so after discussing with the ancient beast elder, Shi Yan decided to practice in a different place.

"Young Master Xiao Shi~" Just as Shi Yan and the others were about to leave, the pharmacy owner found them.

"Is there something wrong with the boss?" Shi Yan asked.

"Lord Zhu Xiong is here, looking for you everywhere in the town at the moment," the old man said angrily.

"Uncle Zhu is here?" Shi Yan said happily.

"yes," the boss replied, gasping.

"It's okay, I'm leaving anyway, it's better to say goodbye to Uncle Zhu, so that he won't worry about me," Shi Yan said.

~~~~~

In the pharmacy in Qishi Town, Zhu Xiong was waiting anxiously in the store~

"Uncle Zhu," Shi Yan said happily when he saw Zhu Xiong.

"Xiaoyan" Zhu Xiong smiled.

Zhu Xiong looked at Shi Yan and suddenly frowned, because Shi Yan's 4th stage cyclone was not practiced in vain, and that trace of fighting energy slowly entangled. Zhu Xiong is already a 2nd level and 5th stage fighter, and Shi Yan's cultivation can't escape Zhu Xiong's magic eye at all.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yan looked at Zhu Xiong and asked.

"Your vindictiveness has passed 4 stages, and it's the first time I've seen a 10-year-old child have 4 levels of vindictiveness"

"Hehe, it's just good luck," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Shi Yan, are you hiding something from me, look at your body and steps, if it weren't for the guidance of a master, a 16-year-old child might not have such attainments"

"Don't hide it from Uncle Zhu, there is indeed a mining teacher who once instructed me, but he refused to leave his name, and left after teaching me"

"Oh?" Zhu Xiong looked at Shi Yan and didn't feel like he was lying, thinking that a 10-year-old child could wake up, and he couldn't rule out this possibility.

"By the way, Xiaoyan, I came here this time to pick you up and return to the capital, which can be regarded as fulfilling your father's wish and taking you to meet the people you should meet."

"Who should be seen, is it?" Shi Yan said.

When his father Quartz was leaving, he told him that his mother was in the national capital, and Zhu Xiong was referring to Shi Yan's mother.

"Pack up, we'll leave immediately," Zhu Xiong urged.

"Wait a minute, uncle, I still have two friends, both of whom are children who escaped with me, can we be together?"

"No problem," Zhu Xiong nodded.

For Zhu Xiong, it was still very easy to arrange a few children, not to mention Shi Yan's request, Zhu Xiong would agree no matter what.

"Uncle, have you caught the group of people who kidnapped us?" Shi Yan asked.

"Xiao Yan, the one you found this time is likely to be arranged by mercenaries in the inner line of the Stone Country, but unfortunately, our people did not find any trace of them when they got there, their base was deliberately destroyed, it seems that they are on guard against us, but you can rest assured, the army has issued an edict, I believe there will be news soon."

"That's good, oh, by the way, Uncle Zhu, I know their logo" Shi Yan said, exposing his arm and saying, "They burned this on each child, you can see if you can help you."

"What is this?" When Zhu Xiong saw this sign, the whole person looked at Shi Yan with wide eyes as if he had been struck by lightning.

"What's wrong?"

"Tell me honestly how the hell did you get out?" Zhu Xiong asked.

"Actually, we were all going to die at that time" Shi Yan looked at Zhu Xiong's expression, knowing that this sign was not trivial, so he concealed the matter of the ancient beast teacher, and just said it hastily, deceived the other party and said that he could find the ore, and after encountering a group of demon beasts, he got separated from the man in black and so on~

"These bastards" Zhu Xiong looked very distressed.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Shi Yan asked.

"What's wrong, something is wrong! The emblem of these mercenaries is expressly forbidden by various countries, and if you have this sign, I can't take you away, otherwise it will harm you," Zhu Xiong said.

"What then? All three of us were burned," Shi Yan asked.

"You can't go with me, let alone meet her, the safest place right now is here," Zhu Xiong said.

Zhu Xiong originally wanted to take Shi Yan to study in a good academy, but unfortunately, in order to prevent mercenaries from mixing in, the academy and the army had very strict inspections, and everything Zhu Xiong arranged for Shi Yan was in vain. At this time, Zhu Xiong's face was ugly, he never expected such a result, looking at Shi Yan, he was only 10 years old, and he had to carry such a big burden.

"It's okay uncle, if I don't go to the academy, I can go to other places, the Strange Stone Continent is so big, is it possible that there is no place where I can practice?" Shi Yan comforted.

"No, Xiaoyan, you don't understand, let alone practice, once you grow up, once someone discovers this mark, you may be killed anytime and anywhere, because you don't need any reason to kill a child like you," Zhu Xiong said.

"That Master Zhu, Young Master Xiaoyan doesn't want to, in fact, it's not impossible to learn it," the pharmacy owner said suddenly.

"Huh?" Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the pharmacy owner and said.

"What do you mean," Zhu Xiong said curiously.

"Master Zhu has heard of the Santis Academy founded by Santa Rona," said the pharmacy owner.

"Don't" As soon as he heard this voice, Zhu Xiong immediately stopped.

"I'm sorry, the little one is too talkative," the pharmacy owner smiled embarrassedly.

"Uncle Zhu, why don't you say it," Shi Yan said curiously.

"That's a bad idea, it's a place you can't take, you don't know," Zhu Xiong said.

"Uncle Zhu, if you don't let me go, I will go myself, since the major powers on the mainland don't recognize me, it seems that that place is the only place I can go" Shi Yan said.

"Xiao Yan, you don't know, Saint Lurona is the handover of the major powers, it is a place where war may be launched at any time, how many peak powerhouses have lost their lives, in short, I can't protect you if I leave the country of stone, it's the same in the country, I can't do anything when you go abroad" Zhu Xiong stopped.

"Okay, Uncle Zhu has a heart, then I won't go."

"You can't go, if you just walk on your own, it is estimated that you will have to walk in three or five years to get out of the country of stones, thousands of mountains and rivers, monsters are rampant, there are many difficulties along the way, a child goes alone, and he will be killed if he is not tired to death" Zhu Xiong said.

Although he was worried about Shi Yan for a while, he thought about how he could have gone so far without the help of adults.

"Hehe, I think I'd better stay here," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"I'm sorry Shi Yan, you can't go see her," Zhu Xiong said very seriously.

"Is it really that serious?" Shi Yan asked.

"Indeed, so you are forbearing, I have a great pharmacist friend in the medicine club, maybe she has a way to help you, but it's a pity that it's not convenient for me to go back and forth, so you can only wait patiently for me, as long as I have the opportunity, I will come to you, and then you can enter the imperial city with dignity and meet anyone you want to meet"

"Hmm," Shi Yan nodded.

"This ring is made of space stone, it's a very ordinary one, but it has something I prepared for you, I was going to wait for you to enter the academy to give it to you, but now it doesn't matter, you keep it, this is a piece of my heart, I hope it will help you"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you have to wait patiently for me, I will definitely come back" Zhu Xiong said, summoning a space door on the spot, in order to facilitate the removal of Shi Yan, Zhu Xiong did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to rent a one-time space door, but unfortunately, this money was spent in vain.

"Uncle Zhu go slowly" Shi Yan looked at the oval-shaped blue glittering gate in front of him, and smiled slightly, if there was no such mark, he only needed to follow Zhu Xiong to take a step to completely change his life, and now he could only watch Zhu Xiong leave here.

"Take care of him for me," Zhu Xiong threw a money bag to the pharmacy owner before leaving.

"Oh, I've tormented the old man, you're too polite~" The old pharmacy nodded and said.

"Huh~" Zhu Xiong left in a hurry, it seemed that he was really in a hurry, and the blue light gate slowly dissipated, and finally came to naught.

"Boss, what's the matter with that Santa Roona you're talking about?" After watching the light gate disappear, Shi Yan suddenly asked.
