Xiatian also put down the wine cup in his hand and looked at the pale-faced scholar. At this time, the pale-faced scholar's face was full of excitement, "I found it. Look, this is about that place."
Xiatian took the jade slip.
"The Burial Ground."
"That's right, that's the burial ground. Before Xin City was built, that open space was a burial ground. It's said that at first, there was a race there, but they were completely wiped out. Then, it became a battlefield, and there were countless casualties. In the end, when the Secret Wilderness was building a city, they wanted to develop that place, but nothing could be built there. The trees they planted died, and the buildings they built collapsed. No matter what it was, nothing could survive there. In the end, there was no other way. The City Lord's Mansion could only isolate that place and use it as a place to kill prisoners," explained the pale-faced scholar.
"Kill prisoners?" Xiatian was stunned.
"That's right. Those death row prisoners are sent there to be executed. That's because those death row prisoners are able to experience the most terrifying scene before they die. That's why it's a new punishment for them. Moreover, I've also heard that even divine souls can't escape from that place. Those super experts who have already condensed their divine souls, after being beheaded inside, originally planned to use their divine souls to escape. However, in the end, their divine souls suffered endless torment inside. They roared in pain for three days and three nights before dying," said the pale-faced scholar.
Xiatian also glanced at the jade slip in his hand.
Everything the pale-faced scholar said was there.
Obviously, they had now locked on to the location.
"Seems like it's here." Xiatian smiled slightly.
"Brother Xia, that place is no joke. First of all, it's heavily guarded. No one is allowed to enter. Second, there are dangers everywhere. Even if you go in, I'm afraid you'll go crazy in the end," reminded the pale-faced scholar.
"I like this kind of mysterious and terrifying place," said Xiatian.
"Sigh, you're really a pervert." The pale-faced scholar shook his head helplessly. He felt that Xiatian was really perverted to the limit.
That kind of place, as long as a normal person thought about it, their scalp would go numb. However, Xiatian actually said that it was interesting. This kind of thing was completely unacceptable.
That was too perverted.
"Alright, I'll thank you for your help this time. I'll be taking the tenth ranked treasure," said Xiatian.
Eh!
The pale-faced scholar's face darkened.
He didn't expect Xiatian to solve the secret of the map so easily. He also didn't expect Xiatian to determine the location so quickly. Most importantly, he heard Xiatian say that the Lava Essence was already his.
But now, even if the Lava Essence hadn't been taken away, it wouldn't be easy for him to get it.
"By the way, it won't be easy for us to go to the Secret Wilderness this time," the pale-faced scholar suddenly said.
"What's wrong? Wasn't there a teleportation array? Is there a robbery in the teleportation array? "Asked Xiatian, puzzled.
"It's not a robbery. The teleportation array can indeed be used to go there. However, we are all from backward capital cities, so we need to transfer to several other cities. There's no direct route. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Secret Wilderness Grand Competition this time coincides with the Grand Competition that occurs once every 10,000 years. Therefore, everyone speculates that the competition this time will probably reshuffle all the forces," said the pale-faced scholar.
"Damn, it can't be that coincidental, right? I want to become famous, and I'm just in time for a Grand Competition that occurs once every 10,000 years," said Xiatian with an excited smile on his face.
"What are you so excited about? I'm not afraid to tell you that I don't have much confidence in entering the top 500. My ability in the Secret Wilderness Grand Competition is already very abnormal. Moreover, this Grand Competition will definitely be different from the past. When the time comes, those old monsters in my sect will most likely take action. Their alchemy skills will leave me in the dust. In the past, I didn't even have the qualifications to watch them refine pills," said the pale-faced scholar.
"Sigh, the gap is really big," said Xiatian with a sigh.
No matter where it was.
The gap would always exist.
Of course, if one were to compare Xin Du City to those smaller cities, then Xin Du City was an existence that those smaller cities could only look up to.
However, if one were to compare Xin Du City to the Secret Wilderness, then it was not enough.
The strongest person in Xin Du City was actually just a small disciple under someone else's sect.
"Yes, the gap is very big. This is also the main reason why I fear those people. I am simply not their match. Although I have worked very hard these past few years, and have been searching everywhere for alchemy techniques and pill recipes, compared to those real old guys, I am completely lacking. Even those disciples, I'm afraid there is also a gap between us. After all, they have someone to guide them on the path of cultivation, while I have to cross the river by feeling the stones." The pale-faced scholar helplessly shook his head.
"You need to have confidence in yourself." Xiatian patted the pale-faced scholar's shoulder and said, "By the way, when is the time for us to depart?"
"Seven days later. We have seven days to prepare, and then the four Silver Leaderboard experts will depart together to participate in the Secret Wilderness Tournament. At that time, the City Lord will personally lead the team, and there will also be experts from the City Guard Army to protect us," said the pale-faced scholar.
"Alright, see you in seven days," said Xiatian.
Seeing Xiatian leave, the pale-faced scholar left a sentence in his heart, "This kind of person can only be on good terms with. Never offend him. In front of him, don't even have the slightest bit of intention, or else he will see through it at a glance."
In the Poverty District.
Lan Yuan and the others had been working hard on their cultivation recently, so Xiatian did not disturb them.
After all, Lan Yuan's mercenary group had increased by one person.
The Water Phoenix Mercenary Group already had three people.
"You're back, brother," said A Madman as he stepped forward.
"The Poverty District has been rebuilt." Xiatian looked over.
The Poverty District now was really different from when he first arrived.
The Poverty District now was a hundred times better than before. Although it was still not very prosperous, Xiatian believed that in less than a year, it would become the most prosperous area in Xin Du.
"Yes, it's all rebuilt. You can see how prosperous it is." A Madman looked at Xiatian gratefully.
If it weren't for Xiatian, not to mention rebuilding the Poverty District, he and his brothers' lives would not be guaranteed.
"En, cherish this place." Xiatian smiled slightly.
"Seeing that you're about to leave, I really can't bear to part with you," said A Madman.
"Then come with me?" Xiatian Asked.
"With my parents around, I won't travel far. Although she's not my biological mother, she took care of me, so I will be filial to her for the rest of my life," said A Madman.
