Jun Wuqi relied on the Weili given by the Taiyi Golden Bead to avoid the detection of the people's path Yuan Zun and successfully entered the Kun Shi Continent.
He first went to the old site of the people's path sect and spent a few days sorting out the lost books here. Then, he cultivated carefully until his Qi dynamic changed into something similar to the records of the cultivation method. Only then did he feel at ease.
Although this could not fundamentally change himself, as long as he did not encounter the people's path Yuan Zun, he was not afraid of being exposed.
After that, he operated his magic power. Relying on the Qi activity that Daoist Daoist Priest Daoyi had left in his body, he followed the origin of the trace of karma. In an instant, he appeared at the Great Ling Mountain.
After he arrived here, he'd walked around the surroundings and searched carefully. However, he didn't notice anything unusual even after half a day had passed. It was even to the extent that he couldn't find even a trace of the treasure. Obviously, even if the Natural Spirit Treasure had once resided here, it had left a long time ago.
He could not help but ponder, "Where did the treasure go?"
With the previous trace of Karma, as long as the treasure did not disappear, he would always be able to sense it. But at this moment, he could not sense it at all, which made him a little puzzled.
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he raised his head. Perhaps it wasn't that he'd vanished, but that he'd snuck into a place with numerous living beings. There was too much karma involved in this, and it had instead disturbed the circulation of the workings of the heavens.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this speculation was true. As the saying goes, a small hermit hides in the wild, a big hermit hides in the city. If the treasure hid in such a place, it would be even more difficult to find.
He operated his mana, and golden light appeared in his eyes. He looked out and instantly saw the surrounding tens of thousands of miles. There was only one living being tribe that was relatively large. Although the treasure could have gone to a faraway place, this settlement was so close. Even if it did not hide there, it might have been there before.
Just as he was about to go forward to explore, he suddenly noticed a shrine there and frowned. When he came, he knew that the people's path Yuan Zun used many foreign gods to protect the mortals. But he did not expect that there would be gods in such a remote place. But when he looked again, he found that it did not seem to be among them. But even so, there was still a Weili above the tribe. He felt that if he did something bad, he would fall.
In order to prevent any accidents, he thought for a moment, and then his figure flashed, turning into an older Ascetic Monk. He wore a straw raincoat and straw shoes, wore a bamboo hat, and held a withered wooden staff in his hand. He walked toward the tribe.
Along the way, there was yellow soil and dust, but when he arrived in front of the tribe, he found that the road was extremely flat. Flowers and fruits were deliberately planted on both sides. Even though there were only a few thousand people in this tribe, there was a rammed earth wall outside. It seemed to be newly built.
He could not help but show a hint of surprise on his face. Of course, these things were nothing to him, but he knew how he should react after seeing these things to prevent others from seeing through him.
Perhaps seeing that he was not an alien, the gatekeeper only asked a few questions out of curiosity and asked for a red fruit tied to a wooden staff before letting him in.
After entering the city gate, he saw a thatched pavilion after a few steps. There was a polished tree stump inside. He thought for a while and walked in to rest like the people who were on a long journey.
At this moment, he saw someone pointing at him. Then, a child came over with a bowl of tea and handed it to him. He said, "Elder, please enjoy."
Jun Wuqi saw that he was so polite and was surprised. He took the tea and thanked him. The child bowed to him and turned to leave.
At this moment, an old man with a walking stick walked over and said, "Guest, where are you from?"
Jun Wuqi saw that the old man's clothes were clean and tidy and he was in good spirits. He stood up and replied, "I am from Qingyuan."
The old man did not know where Qingyuan was, but the Barbarian Land was huge and there were many places he had not heard of. He admired Jun Wuqi for daring to travel alone in the Barbarian Land without the protection of divine power. He tried to find out what the latter had seen and heard along the way.
Jun Wuqi was afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag. After a few words, he changed the topic and said, "How should I address you, old friend?"
The old man said, "My name is Rong, and I am the chief here."
Jun Wuqi thought about it and knew that the chief was the oldest and most prestigious person in the tribe. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "So you are the chief here, please forgive me."
The old man said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jun Wuqi continued, "I've traveled through many territories and even stayed among the tribes of the unusual species. But I haven't seen many who are as polite and sensible as the little boy from your tribe."
The old man stroked his beard and said, "That is because a sage came to the tribe in the middle age. That's why this child learned to be polite."
"Sage?"
Jun Wuqi's heart skipped a beat. He pretended to ask casually, "Where did this sage come from?"
The old man smiled and said, "I believe you have heard of this person before. He is a member of the Zhi Clan."
Jun Wuqi calculated in his heart and knew where these people came from. After all, although the Zhi clan was blessed by the heavens, they were still mortals and could not hide from him.
His eyes flashed and he said, "When I was traveling in the Barbarian Land, I wonder if I had the luck to see him?"
The old man pointed and said, "Do you see the towering tree behind us? Go along this road, turn east, and you will see the roots and branches of this tree. Go along this road for another half a li, and you will see that sage. "
After Jun Wuqi expressed his gratitude, he did not forget to finish the water in the bowl and carefully placed it on the tree stump. After that, he walked in the direction that the poem had pointed to. Indeed, he saw a root sticking out of the ground under the Crown Ming Tree. Because it was so huge, walking on it was like climbing a mountain.
He climbed up, and not too far away, he saw a wide platform. There was also a big banyan tree here, and under the dense foliage, there were more than a hundred children holding bamboo sticks, seriously drawing characters on the sand table on the table. A middle-aged man was walking back and forth, giving pointers from time to time, and straightening the handrails.
Jun Wuqi took a look and said, "I think this person is the Zhi clan that the chief mentioned." He quietly looked at the person a few times and realized that the latter was just a mortal. There was nothing special about him. After some thought, he rubbed his feet and purposely made some noise.
When Zhi clan heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was an unfamiliar old man. He gave a few instructions to the children and came over to greet him. He said, "Elder, do you have any advice?"
"Not at all, not at all," Jun Wuqi secretly looked at his eyes and laughed. He cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Zhi clan is teaching people to read and understand etiquette, so I came to take a look. I hope I did not disturb you."
Zhi clan quickly stepped aside and said, "I dare not accept the courtesy of an elder." She then said, "Elder, you don't seem to be from the tribe?"
Jun Wuqi said, "Yes, I was originally from Qingyuan. After I obtained an incomplete scroll, I unintentionally stumbled upon the door of cultivation. After some success, I thought about the dangers in the Wilderness and how difficult it is for the people of our tribe to survive. So, I decided to spread my teachings everywhere and happened to pass by this place today."
When Lady Zhi heard this, she felt deep veneration. She cupped her hands and said, "So you're a cultivator. I've been disrespectful. I've heard that in the past, the human path was once extremely prosperous. However, it encountered a calamity and declined. If you can fulfill Elder's wish, it would be a blessing for our human path."
Jun Wuqi nodded and said, "That is also my wish."
Zhi clan was even more impressed. He said, "Elder, since you are here, is there anyone in the tribe that you like?"
Jun Wuqi stroked his beard and said, "An adult's bones and meridians are already developed and their temperament is set. They are not suitable for cultivation. But these children are smart and there may be someone suitable. But it needs to be looked at carefully and cannot be rushed."
Master Zhi thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, why didn't Elder stay? I still have some influence in the tribe, so I will definitely provide enough food and clothing for you. Moreover, the land here is very close to the people, so I believe she will be happy to have Elder here."
Jun Wuqi thought for a while and said, "That is fine. I have been traveling in the Wilderness for a long time. It is a good time to rest here."
When Zhi clan heard him agree, he was very happy. Although the Zhi tribe was in the wilderness, with his help, they were slowly showing signs of prosperity. It was just that they were still very fragile because they lacked the ability to protect themselves. If they could obtain the cultivation method, they would be able to go further to hunt and cultivate. He said, "Elder, please take a seat. I will go to the tribe to discuss this matter with the tribe elder."
He apologized and first settled the children down. Then, he cupped his hands and walked up to the top of the log.
Jun Wuqi looked behind Zhi clan. He could not help but squint his eyes. Although he did not see anything wrong with this person, he felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. After thinking about it, if the Primordial Treasure had intentionally concealed itself, he might not have been able to recognize it. Since the other party invited him to stay here, he might as well stay and take his time to investigate.
At this moment, thousands of miles away, Ying Xi was riding a colorful cloud and rushing back.
She left this time because she was summoned by the Jade Talisman to pay her respects to the Lord God, Zhao Heng. However, the latter also knew that although he had the protection of his own divine power, the gods could not leave their territory for too long. Therefore, he only used half a day to arrange the matters and conferred titles to those who had contributed in the past few decades.
Ying Xi, on the other hand, received the priesthood of "Guardian of the Imperial Household". Although it was only a lower ninth rank, it was still a rank. Among the hundred thousand gods, only about three thousand people received this title. Most of the others only received some miscellaneous titles.
With the advancement of her godly position, her mana had also greatly improved. If there were more Zhi people in the future, although she would not be able to handle them, she would not be helpless anymore.
However, when she was about to reach the Crown Tree, she saw a ray of light emerging from the Zhi tribe. She could not help but be stunned. She rubbed her eyes and realized that there was no longer a strange phenomenon like Just Now. She felt very strange and urged the cloud to speed up. Soon, she reached the top of the tribe and circled around it a few times. She did not find anything strange. Coincidentally, she saw Zhi Zheng walking towards the direction of the earth wall. His footsteps were hurried as if he had something to do. Her eyes brightened and she landed on the cloud. She patted his shoulder. "Zhi Shi, where are you going?"
