"Alright. Old man, take care of yourself. Wait till I form my golden core, I will definitely look for you."
When Cheng Yu saw the old man suddenly treating him so well, it caused him to recall his previous master.
"Oh. Right. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it. This jade token is for you. It can be considered as my keepsake. If you bring this to Limitless Palace, no one will make things difficult for you. Furthermore, the location of our sect is written on it. You just need to inject your spiritual Qi into it and you will be able to locate our sect. " Cheng Yu recalled that Cheng Yu had never been to Limitless Palace before. When the time comes, he wouldn't even be able to locate their sect, so how would he be able to find him?
Cheng Yu received the jade token and looked at it. There was nothing special about it. On one side, there were three words, "Limitless Palace". On the other side, there was a word, "Tool". It probably meant that he was from Limitless Palace's Blacksmith Hall.
Looking at the jade token in his hand, Cheng Yu was very excited. He felt that he had finally found an organization. At least in the future, he could confidently tell Kunlun people that he was from Limitless Palace. Why?
"Old man, thank you. I'm leaving," Parting was always sentimental. Cheng Yu didn't wish to speak too much and wasn't willing to think too much. He took out his flying sword and flew off without any reluctance.
"Sigh. Hope you can come back alive!" Looking at Cheng Yu's disappearing figure, the old man sighed. He also flew off in another direction.

Three days later, Cheng Yu had already left Kunlun's territory. Cheng Yu looked at the training map in his hand. Death Forest was in the west of the Cultivation World. Estimating the time, he would need at least five days to reach there. Therefore, Cheng Yu didn't stay any longer. Every time he arrived at a town, he would buy some supplies before continuing his journey.
"Sigh. Time is too tight. Based on the current situation, I'm afraid it would be hard for me to return within three months," Calculating the time, Cheng Yu had unknowingly entered half a month. However, the Cultivation World was too big. Just by travelling, he had already used up a quarter of his time. But until now, he still hadn't obtained anything.
Two days later, Cheng Yu finally saw a city. From the exterior, this city should be considered as a second tier city.
"This should be the closest city to Death Forest, Luminous City!" Cheng Yu looked at the majestic city in front of him and thought.
Entering the city, there were a lot of people inside. Furthermore, this place wasn't like those cities at the border of the Cultivation World. It was obvious that there were cultivators everywhere. Furthermore, a majority of them were in the Foundation Establishment Realm. There were even quite a number of Golden Core Realm experts.
Cheng Yu no longer concealed his cultivation. In any case, there were quite a number of Foundation Establishment Realm late stage cultivators here. No one would notice him. On the contrary, it was those whose cultivation was too low who would encounter troubles here.
"Selling price! Selling price! Selling price of Death Forest map! First come first serve! Sold out! "Just when Cheng Yu was planning to purchase some daily necessities, he heard someone shouting on the street.
Cheng Yu looked over, only to see a young man with small eyes squatting at the side of the street. He was holding onto a few pieces of beast skin as he shouted.
"How much are you selling this map?" Cheng Yu was worried that he didn't have any understanding of Death Forest, so he walked over and asked.
"Daoist brother truly has good eyesight. Just by looking at your imposing appearance, I can tell that senior isn't an ordinary person. This map is something I got from all the exploration teams. It's definitely the best and most comprehensive Death Forest training map. Only 10 low-grade spiritual stones! " This young man was also a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. When he saw Cheng Yu had gone forward to inquire, he immediately started bragging again.
"Can you let me take a look at your map first?" Although the old man had given him a beast map, it was filled with various training grounds in the Cultivation World. It wasn't a single training map. Therefore, Cheng Yu had no choice but to buy another map.
"Of course." The young man passed the map to Cheng Yu straightforwardly. In this Luminous City, he wasn't afraid that Cheng Yu would run away with this thing.
Cheng Yu looked at the map. Indeed, it was very clear. However, this map only indicated a portion of the Death Forest. "Could it be that you don't have a complete map of the Death Forest?"
"Daoist brother, in the entire Cultivation World, how could there be a complete map of the Death Forest? The Death Forest is so big. I'm afraid that no one would be able to know everything about it. " Those who would buy his map were mostly people who had never been to the Death Forest before. When the young man saw how Cheng Yu didn't understand, he didn't tease him. Instead, he explained to him.
"So it's like this? But isn't this Death Forest very suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to train? Why is it that until now, no one has completely explored the Death Forest? " When the old man said that this place was suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to train, Cheng Yu thought that this place had already been explored by others.
"Daoist brother, you might not know about this. This Death Forest might be suitable for us Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to train, but it doesn't mean that there aren't any formidable people here. Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators are the majority here, but there are also quite a number of Golden Core Realm seniors. So much so that there might even be seniors with higher cultivation appearing, "With great difficulty, there was finally a business opportunity. The young man patiently explained to Cheng Yu.
"So it's like this. But daoist brother, isn't it too expensive to sell this map for 10 low-grade spiritual stones?!" In Cheng Yu's opinion, it was a good thing that the Death Forest still had an unknown region. If it was really explored by others, where would he go to find the good stuff?
"Daoist brother, this map of mine might not be complete, but it is definitely the most complete map that is currently being sold in the market. With such a map, not only would you be safer inside, your harvest would also be more than 10 spiritual stones, right? Then why is this map of mine so valuable? "
"What you said might be reasonable, but I am still unable to fork out 10 low-grade spiritual stones. Five spiritual stones. If you are willing, I will buy it," Cheng Yu was not stupid.
Cheng Yu was not stupid. He had come from the edge of the Cultivation World. He knew how precious a spiritual stone was to those people. This place was already the depths of the Cultivation World. This thing was also excessively expensive.
If it wasn't because Cheng Yu saw the other party was so enthusiastic in dispelling his doubts, he would have thought that he would only fork out 10 spiritual stones!
"What? Five spiritual stones? No way. This is too little. At least 8 spiritual stones, "The young man immediately counter-offered.
"Hey! You peddler, other people's maps are only selling for 3 spiritual stones. I am offering 5 spiritual stones, and you still think it's too little? Are you treating me as a fat sheep? "Cheng Yu was about to counteroffer when a woman's disdainful voice came from behind.
Cheng Yu turned around and saw the woman was wearing a cyan robe. Her hand was holding onto a long sword. She did not have any of the usual frail feeling that a woman should have. Her hair was tied up like a man's, making her look very capable and experienced. It caused the woman to lose some of her coquettishness, but gave off a heroic aura.
Beside the woman, there were four men and two women. Their dressing was similar to the woman's. Presumably, they were martial brothers and sisters from the same sect.
"This … this lady, this map of mine is not comparable to those ordinary maps. This is the newest and most complete map. Naturally, the price would be higher than others," When he heard the woman's words, the peddler's expression froze as he quickly said.
"Who are you trying to scare? Isn't it just because I don't know anything? If you dare to talk nonsense with me again, I will destroy your stall, "The woman's complexion turned stern as she pulled out her long sword by a few inches, speaking in an extremely domineering manner.
"Er … then … then how much does this lady think is appropriate?" When he saw the woman pulled out her sword, the peddler was startled as he asked while trembling.
In a second-grade city like Luminous City, ordinary fights were allowed. However, killing was not allowed. Therefore, the peddler was afraid that the woman would beat him up ruthlessly. If that were to happen, it would not be worth it.
"Giving you three pieces of spiritual stones is already thinking highly of you," The woman said disdainfully.
"This … alright, alright. Three pieces it is," Originally, the peddler wanted to refute, but when he saw the woman was glaring at him, he immediately changed his words.
"Silly kid, why are you in a daze? Three pieces of spiritual stones. Give it to him! "When she saw Cheng Yu was in a daze, the woman used her sword to poke at him.
"Ah? Oh. Here are three pieces of spiritual stones. For you, "Cheng Yu reacted as he took out three pieces of spiritual stones and gave them to the woman. After that, he kept the map.
"Lady, thank you. I was almost cheated by him," Cheng Yu stood up and saw the woman was looking at him. So, he said gratefully.
"It's nothing. They are just trying to trick the newcomers. Right. You wish to enter this Death Forest? "The woman waved her hand and said nonchalantly.
"Yes. I heard that this place is suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to train. Therefore, I came over to give it a try," Cheng Yu smiled.
"You are alone?"
"En."
"I'm called Tian Xue. I'm a Tianshan Sect disciple. These are my Senior Brothers and Sisters. We are also preparing to enter this Death Forest. Why don't you join us?" Tian Xue introduced herself.
Actually, the reason why Tian Xue spoke out to help Cheng Yu was because she saw Cheng Yu was alone. Furthermore, he had the strength of Foundation Establishment Realm late stage. Therefore, she wished to pull him into a group.
"So it's Senior Sister from Tianshan Sect. I'm called Cheng Yu. I'm very grateful for Senior Sister's invitation. However, I'm used to being alone. Therefore, I'm very sorry. Forgive me for not being able to agree to Senior Sister's request, "Cheng Yu looked at those Senior Brothers and Sisters of Tian Xue. At the very least, they were in Foundation Establishment Realm middle stage. As for Tian Xue and one of the men, their cultivation was the highest. They were in Foundation Establishment Realm late stage.
The few men's gazes towards Cheng Yu weren't friendly at all. There were even some traces of disdain. The two women didn't seem to be affected by it as they sized Cheng Yu up.
"I believe this should be your first time coming to Death Forest. Perhaps you might not know, but this place is suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to train. However, most of the people who come here would form groups. With your current cultivation, let's not talk about how you would be able to reap any benefits. Even if you were to encounter other groups, it would be very hard for you to survive, "When Tian Xue saw Cheng Yu actually wanted to enter alone, she advised Cheng Yu in astonishment.
"Thank you for Senior Sister's reminder. However, I still decided to enter alone," It wasn't that Cheng Yu was arrogant, but he wasn't familiar with these people. Although Tian Xue seemed to have good intentions, it was hard to say for the others.
Besides, there were so many of them. Once there were any benefits, there wouldn't be any for him. He was just a bystander. Most importantly, it was inconvenient for him to move around. If he wanted to leave, he could leave. If he wanted to stay, he could stay. If he were to follow them, he would have to discuss everything with them. It was too troublesome.
