A group of three were currently standing in front of huge city walls of Vermillion City .
This City was one of the biggest cities in the Northern Region and the Capital of Vermillion Empire . The City walls were more than hundred meter tall and had countless battle Marks signifying the history of War .
Due to the Barrier and less energy in the atmosphere, cultivators found it hard to cultivate to Martial Peak Realm in the Northern Region . Only Martial General Realm and above could float in the air , So these huge walls were of huge advantage in wars here .
There was forest surrounding the city but no beast roars could be heard at all . These forests had been long since cleared of beasts by the forces of Empire to ensure safe travel of Merchants and others who were the backbone of income .
The group of three were currently standing far away from the line which was currently being checked by the guards. The security was tough and it took time but this had nothing to do with Mark , Daisy and Raven .
The three of them had distinguished status of being members of Floating Cloud Sect besides Daisy and Mark were related to the Royal Vermillion Family .
Mark had a lost look in his eyes while gazing blankly at the walls . Raven could understand his feelings as after Mancy's death , Mark had visited here for the first time in long .
Daisy on the other hand seemed cheerful because she was currently happy . She could finally spend six months with her family and they seem to love her greatly too .
Raven was neutral as he wanted to have nothing to do with Vermillion Family . He wanted to cross the city and visit Pincer Mountain where the school was supposed to be located . They had taken five days to reach here so honestly Raven just wanted to lay down on bed for a while .
Raven wanted to avoid meeting the Royal Family as long as he can help it because he remembered from the obsession of Lux that they would definitely not welcome his presence much . So why even bother meeting them first ?
" You must be Mr. Mark , I'm head city guard Fox ! Please follow me inside the city .. " A middle aged man came riding on a fierce demon beast . Raven was not impressed with the fact that Fox could tame a Level 4 beast but his manners were commendable .
The man had nice burly build and the heavy tight armor greatly suited his style . The battle hardened demeanor coupled with his fierce looks , made his presence look mighty .
Mark looked at Raven because Raven had already told them that he would not follow them inside the city . Daisy was not happy but after Raven promised to meet her once in a week , she reluctantly agreed in the end . Raven simply did not want to interact with Vermillion Family and did not want to disturb their family reunion either .
" Father , you take Daisy with you as I will find the school on my own . Daisy , if you want to see me then you can always visit the school anytime. " Raven pinched Daisy's cute nose lightly ignoring the ferocious gaze of Fox . She was his girlfriend so Raven was free to interact with her at least this much ...
Raven passed a small jade bottle to Mark which confused Fox as the bottle looked too ordinary. But Mark knew that this bottle actually contained more than 20 high rank Beauty Pills inside . High Rank Pills were basically myth in this backward Region and Mark was proud of the fact that his Son was such a capable Alchemist and also such a talented cultivator . Raven hid some facts like Top Rank Pills from Mark because he did not want his Father to encounter trouble . If the information was leaked then Mark would definitely be approached by different powerful groups for information but many of them could resort to assault him too . So Raven thought that such matters were good to be hidden from his loved ones .
" Let's meet up later then .. " Raven smiled and vanished.
He went towards the City Guards and ignoring the line , just flashed his Inner Disciple Token. The guards naturally allowed him to enter the city immediately and Raven stepped inside with large strides .
The city was bustling but Raven who was used to modern cities on earth was not impressed. The only things that could impress him were various shops which sold cultivation resources. After receiving his Inheritance, Raven's horizons were broadened so normal resources could not impress him now . In the past , Level 3 herbs were luxury to him but now they were nothing more than nice ingredients in Raven's eyes.
Some shops sold mysterious things which could not be identified but rarely turned out to be high quality treasures . Ancient treasures waited for their destined ones so such encounters were sought by many people . But most of the times they were only disappointed because treasures were small in number and not all had the luck and Fate to encounter one.
Such big cities were famous for having old shops which were in business for centuries and had fine reputation. So Raven decided to visit some treasure shops and see if he can encounter something special . His knowledge was profound so maybe he could find something worthwhile from the pile which was labelled as trash by others who had limited knowledge. Raven ignored other shops in his way and leisurely walked on the road while looking for treasure shops on the way .
