After leaving the Imperial City, Ji Tianxing rode his horse and sped towards the west.
From the Imperial City to Yunzhou's Tai Ye Mountains, he had to cross Qingzhou, which was a total of two thousand miles.
Even if Ji Tianxing rode his Frost Snow Windchaser, which could travel eight hundred miles in a day, it would still take him two and a half days to arrive.
This time, he was going to Tai Ye Mountains to search for the Red Meteorite Flower. For safety reasons, he was especially careful.
Other than his father, Ji Changkong, and himself, there was no third person who knew about it.
To hide his identity, Ji Tianxing wore a black iron mask and a large black cloak.
He sped along the official road to Yunzhou and met many caravans along the way.
However, most people would give him a few more glances out of curiosity.
However, in Qingyun Country where martial arts were prevalent, it was not uncommon to wear a mask or veil to hide one's identity.
On the second evening, he finally entered Yunzhou and found an inn to stay in.
At this time, he was still three hundred miles away from Tai Ye Mountains. There were still four days before the Red Meteorite Flower appeared.
On the third afternoon, Ji Tianxing finally arrived at Tai Ye Mountains. He entered a small town at the entrance of the mountains, Tai Ye Town.
His journey was peaceful and he did not meet any obstacles.
However, he was still tired after traveling for two and a half days. He urgently needed to rest.
After entering Tai Ye Town, he looked for an inn to stay in.
However, the town was located in a remote area. It was small and old.
There were only two streets in the town and there were more than two hundred families living there. The streets were narrow and crowded.
Ji Tianxing searched the entire town and only saw one inn.
This Lai Fu Inn was built with red bricks and green tiles. It was one of the largest buildings in the town.
After all, the inn had a three-story building and a spacious courtyard.
Usually, there were not many people in the town. There were only a few vendors and shops. The inn's entrance was even more deserted.
However, when Ji Tianxing walked to the entrance of the Lai Fu Inn, he saw three tables of people eating and drinking in a boorish manner.
Those people were travel-worn like him, and all of them carried swords and sabers. Their movements revealed a faint murderous aura. Obviously, they were all martial artists who had traveled the Jianghu.
Ji Tianxing pondered for a moment and guessed the purpose of these cultivators. They were most likely here for the Red Star Flower in the Tai Ye Mountain Range.
At this time, a servant in green with a cloth towel draped over his shoulders ran out of the hall and asked him with a smile if he wanted to stay in the inn.
Ji Tianxing asked for one of the best rooms, then walked into the hall without making a sound.
The manservant shouted towards the main hall, then led the Frost and Snow Chasing Wind Horse into the backyard from the side to feed the horse.
As soon as Ji Tianxing entered the hall, the warriors who were eating and drinking at the tables all cast scrutinizing gazes at him.
He was wearing a mask and a black cloak, so no one could see through him.
Those martial artists quickly withdrew their gazes and continued to eat and drink with their heads lowered.
The hall was very quiet, and the atmosphere seemed to be somewhat oppressive.
Ji Tianxing took out 20 taels of silver and gave it to the innkeeper. He asked the innkeeper to prepare a few dishes before he went upstairs.
The second and third floors of the inn were the rooms for accommodation.
The best room he asked for was on the third floor, close to the left wall of the backyard. There was a large pagoda tree that was more than 20 feet tall near the window.
Ji Tianxing took off his mask and began to eat after the manservant delivered the food.
After eating, he took a hot bath and sat on the bed to rest. He silently thought about his next plan.
"There are still three days before the Red Star Flower appears. It's not suitable to enter the Tai Ye Mountain Range today or tomorrow. The Red Star Flower hasn't bloomed yet. It's too early to find it. It's even more dangerous. "
After thinking for a while, he decided to rest in the Laifu Inn for two days. He would enter the mountain the day before the Red Star Flower bloomed.
Unknowingly, a few hours had passed. Soon, night fell.
During this time, a few more groups of people entered the Laifu Inn, making the inn more and more lively.
Ji Tianxing stayed in the room and didn't show his face. He even asked the manservant to deliver the food to his room.
By the evening of the second day, the rooms in the inn were almost full.
The martial artists coming and going were talking and laughing loudly. They were shouting and yelling, causing the hall and backyard to be filled with a hubbub of voices. It was very noisy.
Ji Tianxing stayed in the room for too long and felt a little stuffy. He went downstairs for a walk.
He was still wearing his black cloak and mask. When he walked into the backyard, he saw a few tables in the courtyard.
Beside each table sat two or three martial artists with powerful auras. They were all holding swords and sabers in their hands and were shouting loudly.
"The Bloodblade Hunter Team is recruiting members! Our Bloodblade Hunter Team has been hunting demonic beasts in various big mountain ranges all year round. We have rich experience in exploring … "
"The Assassin Team is recruiting members! Anyone who has reached the True Element Realm can join this team. We will explore the Tai Ye Mountain Range together and search for the Red Star Flower! "
"Brave warriors! Come to our Brave Team! We are the famous adventurer team in the Cloud Region … "
Ji Tianxing glanced at the martial artists in the adventurer team. He couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph! These people are really laughable! "
"Everyone wants to take the treasures of heaven and earth for themselves. If people who don't know each other form a team, so what if they find the Red Star Flower? Won't they still have to fight each other in the end? "
He had no interest in these adventurer teams. Just as he was about to turn and leave the backyard, he was stopped by a tall and sturdy youth.
The tall and sturdy youth wore brown leather armor and held a treasured saber in his hand. He grinned and said, "Brother, join our Brave Team!"
"If you act alone, I'm afraid you will die under the claws of demonic beasts before you find the Red Star Flower. If we act together, we will have a chance! "
Ji Tianxing calmly dodged to the side and said in a low and hoarse voice, "No need."
The tall and sturdy youth looked at his back and muttered with some regret, "Could it be another expert?"
"Experts all like to act alone … There are too many people looking for the Red Star Flower this time. There are also many experts. I'm afraid it will be hard to find it!"
Ji Tianxing left the backyard and walked into the hall.
At this time, the hall was already packed with people. There were a total of twelve tables of guests.
Many martial artists were eating and drinking around the tables. They kept bringing out jar after jar of good wine. The sound of wine cups and bowls clinking against each other was endless.
Ji Tianxing walked slowly through the hall. He listened carefully and realized that these martial artists came from all over the world. They had accents from all over the place.
Moreover, many of them only got to know each other after coming to the Laifu Inn. They either formed a small team with the same goal or acted as a go-between to do business.
All in all, the Laifu Inn had never been so lively before.
The hundreds of martial artists who gathered in the inn were from all walks of life. The big and small forces were tangled and complicated.
However, everyone had the same goal. That was the Red Star Flower in the Tai Ye Mountain Range!
