After fifteen minutes, Shi Yan returned to the place where Tie Mu and Cherry were gathering, his face grimaced.
"How was it? Did you catch any dead souls? "asked Tie Mu gingerly.
"No." Shaking his head, Shi Yan darkened his face. "Damn it. That cave was full of dead souls. There were at least hundreds of them. I think some of them were at a high level. Luckily, I was fast enough. Otherwise, I would have been left there."
There were so many dead souls in that cave, and the aura they emitted was terrifying. If so many dead souls attacked at the same time, even his Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame couldn't burn them all in a short time. If he was careless and some high-level dead souls got into his host soul, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Hundreds of them!" Cherry discolored. She said affirmatively, "There should be an evil lair of the dead souls around there. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many dead souls. Seems like your luck isn't good. Anyway, you're lucky that you got out of there alive."
"I've never seen so many dead souls before," Tie Mu was startled. Tie Mu was also startled, "Three low-level dead souls have already given us a hard time. If ten dead souls come at us at the same time, even the five of us will be killed, not to mention hundreds of them."
"No choice. I won't catch more dead souls for you guys. You should ask Cherry for more later." Shi Yan rubbed his nose, feeling a little bit embarrassed.
Tie Mu's group of five nodded with a forced smile.
Previously, ShiYan had used his strength to prove that he had enough power to kill them. Under such a gap in strength, they could only accept whatever ShiYan said. Otherwise, they would be asking for trouble.
"Alright, don't put on that bitter face. It's not like we won't compensate you. Just three low-level dead souls. No big deal," snorted Cherry.
Tie Mu's group of five smiled apologetically.
"We should go to the Flying Cloud Summit first," Cherry looked at Shi Yan.
"Okay, let's go."
…
Three days later …
Cherry halted in front of a majestic mountain peak.
Her face was yearning, looking at the mountain in the clouds. "This is the Flying Cloud Summit, the richest mountain in the Dead Soul Mountain range. Only someone like Elder Li was worthy of this mountain peak. In recent years, the ones who could climb to the summit of the Flying Cloud Peak were all important characters. They were the Great Elders of the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, or the Devil Palace, or the famous hotshots of the continent. Small characters like me have never had a chance to climb up there. "
Shi Yan was stunned.
The Soaring Clouds Peak was ten thousand meters tall. White clouds could be seen at the waist of the peak. Strange beasts such as cranes were flying about. The dense spiritual energy of the world blew over, making one feel relaxed and happy. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, one could see that there were many grass beds planted on the Flying Cloud Peak. Those spirit herbs were all excellent materials for refining medicine. There were so many of them that it was dazzling.
A rugged mountain path led directly to the Soaring Clouds Peak. In front of the path was a huge blue boulder. On the boulder, there were four ancient characters that read 'No Trespassing'.
"Let's go. We'll go up the mountain right now," said Shi Yan with a smile. As he spoke, he floated up into the air, preparing to fly up.
"Don't!" Cherry hurried to stop him.
Shi Yan was bewildered, looking at her bewilderedly.
"The Flying Cloud Peak has many taboos. Although this mountain doesn't have any barriers, we can't fly up like that," Cherry explained with a respectful face. Cherry explained with a respectful face. "This is the cultivating area of the Great Elder of the Spirit Hall. Even the elders of the Radiant God Cult and the Pure Land have to climb this mountain path to get here. If that idiot flew up like that, he would have violated the taboo. Elder Li wouldn't have welcomed him."
"That's a big deal!"
"Of course!" Cherry's face was solemn. "The Flying Cloud Peak is the holy land of our Spirit Hall. Characters like us don't even have the qualification to meet them. Even my teacher doesn't dare to come here without Elder Li's order. We're just small characters. We have to be more careful and follow the rules. "
Pausing for a while, she asked suspiciously. "Are you sure that Elder Li will meet you? If you're not sure, don't act rashly. Elder Li doesn't like to be disturbed. Especially, he said that without his order, no one is allowed to disturb him, including the hotshots of the Pure Land and the Radiant God Cult! "
"Don't worry. If he doesn't want to meet me, I will leave," smiled Shi Yan. "If I'm not sure, why would I ask for trouble?"
Listening to Shi Yan, Cherry could ease her mind. She nodded and said, "Alright then. You go up the mountain. I … I'll wait for you down here. In fact, since I've brought you here, my mission has been accomplished. I don't need to do anything else. "
Cherry was a little disappointed, but also fascinated. She gazed at the mountain peak in the clouds, as if she was waiting for something.
Shi Yan burst out laughing, as he knew she was waiting for an invitation. "Let's go. You've had a hard time bringing me here. If you don't mind, come with me. What do you think?"
Cherry's eyes sparkled with joy. She smiled tenderly. "Are you inviting me?"
"Yeah."
"Thank you. You do have a conscience."
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go."
Shi Yan took the lead to climb the mountain.
Along the way, they saw many strange spiritual fields, where rare herbs were planted. Shi Yan didn't know the names of more than half of them.
Cherry's blue eyes sparkled, looking at the herbs along the way greedily. She couldn't help but praise continually. "Elder Li is worthy of being the Great Elder of the Spirit Hall. He's like a God. Only a grandmaster alchemist like him could grow such herbs. Look at this Soul Severing Grass. It's said that it can only grow on a cold mountain. And there's also the Fire Pole Fruit, which can only bear fruits in the cracks of magma walls. These elixirs have extremely harsh environmental conditions. I wonder what secret method Elder Li used to stimulate them in the Flying Cloud Peak … "
Cherry didn't talk much on the way. However, after they arrived at the Flying Cloud Peak, she seemed to be a chatterbox. She couldn't stop talking, pointing at the spiritual herbs and praising them. She admired Li Zheng Rong a lot, as if she hated that she couldn't take him as her teacher.
"Your teacher is Zha Lin. Do you want to betray your school?" teased Shi Yan.
"If Elder Li can take me as his disciple, I think my teacher will feel honored. Not only will he not stop me, but he will also befriend me." Cherry's face was filled with longing. Strange light sparkled in her blue eyes as a strange smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
Shi Yan didn't want to talk with her. He thought that these alchemists were all unreasonable. Each of them had a strange temperament. It was hard to treat them as a normal person.
"Nobody dares to have any designs on these spiritual fields?" Walking to the mountain peak, Shi Yan didn't see any guardians. He was curious, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Who dares to have designs on the spiritual fields of the Flying Cloud Peak?" Cherry looked at him as if she was looking at an idiot. "Elder Li is the peak alchemist in the Dead Soul Mountain range. All alchemists respect him. The Great Elders of the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, and the Devil Temple have to flatter him. Offending Elder Li means offending more than half of the forces in the Grace Mainland. Who dares to do that? The really strong characters won't care about these spiritual herbs. The ones who aren't strong enough won't dare to come here. Even if there's no barrier, this place is still safe. "
Listening to her, Shi Yan reacted. He cursed himself for asking a stupid question.
On the way, Shi Yan didn't talk nonsense anymore.
After a long time.
Shi Yan and Cherry had crossed hundreds of spiritual fields. Finally, they were about to reach the summit of the Flying Cloud Peak.
However, at this moment, a clear but arrogant voice arose from the Flying Cloud Peak, which didn't have a single soul along the way. "Who are you? Didn't you hear the warning? It's been three years. No one is allowed to enter the Flying Cloud Peak! Don't you have a brain? "
Cherry blushed, stooped her head, and didn't dare to answer.
Shi Yan's eyes brightened. He chuckled, "Lin-mei, long time no see. What? A friend from afar, do you want to shut the door?"
He recognized that the one who was talking in a secret place on the mountain peak was Lin Ya Qi, who used to come to the Endless Sea. She was a petite girl with an exaggerated bosom, Ye Chang Feng's senior sister.
"... You are that bastard Shi Yan?" Lin Ya Qi contemplated for a while as if she was thinking about the identity of the newcomer. After a while, she laughed tenderly. "Indeed, you come from afar. You bastard, aren't you in the Endless Sea? Why did you come to the Grace Mainland from there and find our Flying Cloud Peak? "
While she was laughing tenderly, a thick rock wall on the mountain peak suddenly split open. Lin Ya Qi appeared in a mass of white light, looking down at him and giggling. "You're really fierce. You can even touch the Flying Cloud Peak. You do have some tricks."
Shi Yan burst out laughing. "Ye Chang Feng gave me the token. He asked me to show it to the Spirit Potion Valley. It's easy to find him. Oh right, where's that kid Ye Chang Feng? "
"I forgot." Lin Ya Qi patted her head and snorted. "Don't mention that bastard. I don't know where he's hiding while our teacher is cultivating. I haven't seen him for almost one year. Our teacher said that after this closed-door training, we must give him a good lesson. "
"I want to see Old Li. Is it convenient?" Shi Yan put on a serious face. "I have something to ask him."
Lin Ya Qi revealed an embarrassed face. "Our teacher is still cultivating. He said that no one is allowed to disturb him. Anyway, if it's you, I can inform him. But I can't guarantee that our teacher will see you immediately."
Shi Yan nodded with a smile.
"Then you should come in first. Sit down and have some tea." Lin Ya Qi waved her hand. Then, she was astounded for a while, frowning while looking at Cherry. "Who is she? Your woman? You're such a loose man. No matter where you go, you always have beauties accompanying you. You're really a pervert. "
Cherry blushed, looking at Shi Yan oddly. She shook her head and explained, "No, I'm not his woman. I'm from the Spirit Hall."
"The Spirit Hall?" Lin Ya Qi's face was cold. She said arrogantly, "I'm sorry. This place isn't where you can come. You should go back."
"Although she's from the Spirit Hall, she's still my woman. Don't talk nonsense. I'm tired after a long journey. Hurry up and serve me some tea." Shi Yan's face was natural. He smiled, holding Cherry's small hand and walking towards Lin Ya Qi.
Cherry blushed and struggled to get rid of his hand. Because she had a longing for the Flying Cloud Summit, she didn't try her best to refuse. She just let Shi Yan hold her hand, walking forward with her head lowered.
"You should have told me earlier." Lin Ya Qi glared at him and then let him go. "I know you're not a good man. You've been flirting with girls all the way. You never stop. My brother told me that when you were in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, you weren't honest either. You seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with a woman from the Aoke family. "
"Damn it. That kid always slandered me!" Shi Yan was enraged, cursing with a hateful voice.
