"Hello, uncle, do you know where's Naturesound Valley?"
"Naturesound Valley? I've not heard about it!" Carrying a herbal medicine basket on his back, the robust uncle glanced at Zhang Tie who was walking on the mountain road from head to toe. Finding that Zhang Tie didn't look like a bad guy with a kind smile, he asked Zhang Tie patiently, "Is the Sound Valley in Clouddragon Mountain Range?"
"Yes!" Zhang Tie nodded.
"It's not nearby. I've been picking herbs in this mountain for 60 years. I'm familiar with each place within hundreds of miles; however, I've not seen a place called Naturesound Valley!" After saying that, the uncle looked up at the sky as the sun had already risen to the top of the mountain in the west, "It's too late now. If you enter the mountain alone, it would be a bit dangerous. Those fierce beasts in the mountain are not easy to deal with. A few days ago, someone saw a 100-cm-long huge snake in the valley not far from us. Nobody knows how long that huge snake had stayed in the valley as its body had been covered with moss. It could already cultivate. Commoners would be scared to death if they saw it. There are so many old b * stards in the mountain. You'd better leave the mountain as soon as possible!"
"Thanks for telling me that, uncle. Oh, do you know where's the nearby town?"
"Besides Brilliance Moon City, the nearest town is Plentiful Grains Town. You just need to climb over three mountains from here …" The uncle pointed at a mountain peak in front of Zhang Tie, "But it's too late now. I suggest you not to go there. If you set off tomorrow, you'd arrive there in half a day. Oh, if you want to know the location of Naturesound Valley, you'd better try your luck in Plentiful Grains Town. Many pharmacists gather in Plentiful Grains Town. Some pharmacists wander in Clouddragon Mountain Range all year round.
After talking with Zhang Tie for a short while, the uncle with the basket on his back strode downhill. Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile as he looked at the direction of Plentiful Grains Town that the man pointed at just now. Closely after that, Zhang Tie flashed and disappeared from the place.
As Zhang Tie had just left Brilliance Moon City, of course, he didn't want to go back.
If that middle-aged man saw this scene, he might have been startled by Zhang Tie.
It was August 13, the 3593rd year of Emperor NvWa's Calendar. It had been 3 days since Zhang Tie left Dragon Emperor City. During the past 3 days, Zhang Tie actually didn't leave Dragon Emperor Big Domain; instead, he was still looking for Naturesound Valley in Clouddragon Mountain Range of Dragon Emperor Big Domain.
Of course, Zhang Tie didn't wander here because he had nothing to do; instead, the members of Yin-Yang Sect were in Naturesound Valley. Before leaving Motian Realm, Zhang Tie wanted to meet Ji Yuelan, Jiang Ruoxin, their masters Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong so as to bid farewell to them and get rid of his worries.
Previously, Zhang Tie had told those women of Yin-Yang Sect to wait for him in Dragon Emperor City. However, Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could be stood up one day. When he came back to Dragon Emperor City and finished his secluded cultivation, he found that none of these women were in Dragon Emperor City. Only Jiang Ruoxin came to Dragon Emperor Pavilion when he was in secluded cultivation and left Naturesound Valley in Clouddragon Mountain Range.
Not until then did Zhang Tie realize that women couldn't be measured by common sense.
Clouddragon Mountain Range was the largest and longest mountain range in Dragon Emperor Big Domain. The entire mountain range stretched over 31,000 miles with 8-9 branches. However, Zhang Tie couldn't find a place called Naturesound Valley on the map at all.
There were over tens of millions of valleys in this mountain range. Additionally, Clouddragon Mountain Range was extremely vast. Even Zhang Tie couldn't find such a place in Clouddragon Mountain Range.
During the past 3 days, Zhang Tie had traveled over tens of thousands of miles in Clouddragon Mountain Range and asked numerous people; however, he still didn't know where the so-called Naturesound Valley was.
…
It only took Zhang Tie a few breaths to arrive at Plentiful Grains Town, which the uncle said would take young people half a day to reach; however, it only took Zhang Tie a few seconds to arrive at Plentiful Grains Town after crossing some mountains. With a flash, he had appeared on the path outside Plentiful Grains Town.
Standing outside Plentiful Grains Town, Zhang Tie found that the entire Plentiful Grains Town was just a small village in the mountain range. There was only one street in the village, which was covered with restaurants, pharmacies and shops on both sides. Right beside that street was an open-air herbal medicine market. Close to the herbal medicine market was an open grassland. Some small airboats with the marks of pharmacies were parked on the open grassland.
At this moment, the sun was about to set. Many people in the herbal medicine market were busy putting away their herbal medicines; some were carrying herbal medicines onto airboats.
Zhang Tie arrived at the right time. Because there were only two days left before the big market. This hidden herbal medicines market in Clouddragon Mountain Range had been pretty boisterous at this moment. The only street in Plentiful Grains Market was bustling with boites on both sides of the street. The boites on both sides of the street were also very prosperous. The entire street was filled with pharmacists and herbalists.
Zhang Tie strolled over there as he caught sight of a boisterous boite on that street. Those who entered and exited it were all well-dressed pharmacists. After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie directly entered it.
At this moment, it was very boisterous inside. 80% of the tables in the boisterous boite had been occupied. There were almost 200 people in the boisterous boite.
"Sir, are you alone or have you made an appointment with your friends …" A waiter instantly greeted Zhang Tie at the sight of him.
"I'm alone!"
"This way, please …"
The waiter led Zhang Tie to a small table in the corner as he said with a smile, "Sir, what do you want to order? Our herbal cuisine is very famous …"
"Just give me three or four of your signature dishes!" Zhang Tie said as he took out 2 purple crystal coins and threw them to the waiter, "Here's the money for the meal. If there's more, you can have it!"
2 purple crystal coins were not a small amount. It was more than enough for 10 people to have three meals a day, not to mention one meal for one person. After receiving 2 purple crystal coins from Zhang Tie, the waiter directly revealed a big smile as he bowed towards Zhang Tie, "Generous, generous, sir, you're really generous!"
"Oh, I want to ask you about a place!"
The waiter in the restaurant was influenced by what he saw and heard on a daily basis, listening to the chatter and bragging of the customers who came from all over the place. If it was about places, he would definitely know a lot.
"Sir, what is it?"
"Do you know a place called Sound Valley in Clouddragon Mountain Range?"
The waiter scratched his head as he thought about it seriously. Closely after that, he revealed a bashful smile, "Erm … I've not heard about it …" As he said this, the smart waiter knew that he should not accept the reward if he didn't do it. Therefore, he returned the 2 purple crystal coins to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie waved his hand, "Take it. It's okay if you don't know it. It's your reward!"
"Thank you, thank you!" The waiter smiled as he took back the money, "Sir, please wait for a moment, I will arrange the chefs to serve your dishes …"
As was imagined, only after a short while, the waiter had served a tray with 6 dishes and 1 soup. There were meat dishes, vegetables dishes and a pot of liquor for Zhang Tie.
"This is our self-brewed wild plum liquor. It's special. Please have a taste …"
On account of the two Purple Crystal Coins, the waiter was very attentive and attentive. The dishes that he served were clearly more than what a person needed.
"I've got a blue crystal coin here …" Zhang Tie said with a smile as he took out another blue crystal coin and put it under the bowl of stewed soup. "Before I finish this meal, if you could get any information about Naturesound Valley, this blue crystal coin would be yours …"
At the sight of that blue crystal coin, the waiter's eyes almost popped out. 1 blue crystal coin was equal to 100 purple crystal coins. He might not make so much money even if he worked in this boisterous restaurant for a few years. However, he didn't even have a chance to touch blue crystal coins. Only those major pharmacists would pay with blue crystal coins when they purchased goods. However, the tip that Zhang Tie gave to him just now had clearly told him that Zhang Tie was not joking with him. Such a bit of money was nothing for Zhang Tie. It depended on him whether he could make it or not.
The waiter swallowed his saliva as he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please enjoy your meal, please wait for a moment …" Closely after that, he hurriedly left.
After leaving, the waiter didn't go to the kitchen; instead, he pulled the other two waiter and whispered to them. After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, one of them ran out of the boisterous restaurant. After a few minutes, he came back.
During this period, when the waiter served tea, water or dishes to the guests in the boisterous restaurant, they would move closer and whisper respectfully, "Sir, you've traveled a lot. Do you know a place called Sound Valley in Clouddragon Mountain Range?"
Many guests didn't know that. Some guests would even ask, "Why do you ask about that?"
"Nothing. I'm just making a bet with some people. If any guest really knows where Sound Valley is, we could enjoy a 20% discount on all the dishes and drinks …"
Facing such a scene, Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile. Sitting at a table alone, he slightly moved his chopsticks and started to drink by himself. He just waited for the waiter to tell him the news. On this occasion, the unrivaled battle strength could actually match that of a blue crystal coin …
Slowly, as the sun gradually set, the restaurant was finally filled with customers. Table after table of pharmacists began to talk loudly and boastfully.
Among all the guests, a pharmacist who had just taken a seat suddenly raised his voice, which could almost be heard by the entire boisterous restaurant.
"Yesterday, our boss sent a message that another major event happened in Dragon Emperor City. Elder Ying Gucheng and Elder Hou Moyuan of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace promoted to supreme-level immortal generals yesterday …"
