Wu Clan's Circle Mountain
Zhang Yan walked around a mountain, then found a place and opened up a simple cave abode with his mystic light. Then, he raised his hand, and a dozen rocks of appropriate sizes flew into the cave, each of which was arranged into a stone table and a stone bench.
He smiled and slowly entered the cave abode. With a flick of his sleeve, he threw all the sleeves and magic tools he had obtained from Bao Dingheng and the others on the stone table.
Among the things left behind by Bao Dingheng and the others, except for some scattered objects, there were only one or two magic treasures and two sword discs that could catch his eye.
Except for the disciples of the Yuan Yang Sect, no one could control these things. Moreover, the sword discs of each disciple were different. They were all given by the elders of the sect since the beginning of their cultivation, and had long been refined to become one with them. Even if they were taken by the disciples of the same sect, they might not be able to use them well, let alone the disciples of other sects. Therefore, when Lan Yuchun's sword discs fell into the forest, Bao Dingheng and Fang He had no intention of retrieving them, and no one paid any attention to them.
However, Zhang Yan knew that the reason why the sword discs could transform Qi into swords was that there was a wisp of Geng Xin Metal Qi hidden in the discs, so they could carry the spirit and transform the appearance of swords. This Qi was one of the Five Elements Essence Qi he was looking for, so he wanted to explore it.
But when he used his spiritual Qi to explore it, he was slightly disappointed.
The Metal Qi in these two sword discs was mixed and impure. It was obvious that some impurities had been added into them. They could be transformed into Sword Qi, but if they were used to cultivate the Taixuan True Light, their grade was too low.
But on second thought, Bao Dingheng and Fang He were just ordinary disciples of the Yuan Yang Sect, so it was reasonable that they could not obtain such pure Metal Qi. Besides, if the Metal Qi was really so pure, how could it be unscathed when it fell on him?
He shook his head with a smile and threw the two sword discs away. Then, he reached out and picked up the iron ruler that had scattered the Black Yellow Hand to examine it.
After looking at it for a while, he found that it was just a high-grade spiritual weapon. Moreover, he needed to chant a spell to use it. Even though its power was extraordinary, it was not practical in a fight. It could be said to be of little value. Therefore, after looking at it for a while, he lost interest and casually threw it into his sleeve.
His gaze swept across the area and landed on the Thunderclap Seal.
This treasure was quite powerful, but it had a flaw, and that was that it could only be used within a hundred feet.
In this way, it would be somewhat useful in a siege, but if it was a one-on-one fight, one could not count on it to be effective.
However, when he returned to his sect in the future, he could bestow this treasure to his sect or sell it in the Celestial Market. Thus, he took it for himself.
He picked and chose, using the Primordial Unity Mystic Light to grind away those things that seemed useless to him, leaving behind only those that seemed to be of some use.
After sorting things out, he found that among the many things, only the Red Copper Flying Sand that was half filled with the gourd could be seen to be extraordinary. However, this was not a place for in-depth study, so he put it away first and prepared to investigate it in the future.
After everything was taken care of, he took out the Human Sack and poured it out, releasing Mister Shi.
The old man was unconscious, so Zhang Yan took out a pill and fed it to him. After a while, he slowly woke up.
After Mister Shi opened his eyes, he first saw Zhang Yan, but there was no panic on his face. He slowly turned over and sat up. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Where is Fellow Daoist Bao and his group?"
Zhang Yan did not hide anything and said, "I won't hide it from you, Mister Shi. They have all been killed by me."
Mister Shi was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Then, what does Fellow Daoist need me to do for you?"
Zhang Yan nodded inwardly. This Mister Shi was a sensible person. He knew that Zhang Yan definitely had a reason for sparing him. He smiled and said, "Naturally, I would like to ask Mister Shi to help me find the One Breath Zoysia."
Mister Shi raised his eyebrows and said with surprise, "Fellow Daoist Li has already obtained a good medicinal zoysia, are you still not satisfied?"
Zhang Yan laughed brightly and said, "I won't hide it from Mister Shi. Although the Shapeshifting Medicinal Zoysia is good, it is not what I want. According to what I know, in this Mount Qing Cun, there are medicinal zoysias that are even better than this."
Mister Shi was slightly moved and couldn't help but look at Zhang Yan. The only thing that could compare to the Shapeshifting Medicinal Zoysia was the Zoysia Ancestor. Although Zhang Yan didn't say it clearly, the meaning behind his words was self-evident.
He raised his hand and stroked his beard as if to conceal the ripples in his heart. He said, "If Fellow Daoist wishes to find this item, I originally did not have the ability to do so. However, since Fellow Daoist has obtained the Shapeshifting Medicinal Zoysia, I can reluctantly give it a try. Whether it will succeed or not … I am not completely certain."
Zhang Yan didn't care and waved his hand. "Mister Shi doesn't need to worry about success or failure. Originally, when I came to this mountain, I didn't think I would meet Mister Shi. As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to the heavens. Even if you fail, I will not blame Mister Shi."
Mister Shi glanced at Zhang Yan and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
Zhang Yan saw his expression and smiled faintly. He said, "If Mister Shi doesn't feel at ease, I can make an oath that regardless of success or failure, I can let Mister Shi go after the matter."
But Mister Shi shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this. This old man is already a hundred and fifty years old. I don't have much time left. If nothing unexpected happens, this Mount Qing Cun, haha, will be this old man's burial ground."
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. A normal Clear Qi cultivator only had a lifespan of a hundred and fifty years. In other words, this Mister Shi's lifespan was reaching its end. No wonder this Mister Shi was neither servile nor overbearing to Bao Dingheng and the others. So there was this reason behind it.
He thought about it and said, "Mister Shi, if you have something to say, please say it. If I can do it, I will not refuse."
Mister Shi cupped his hands at Zhang Yan and said, "If I find this item, this old man only wants Fellow Daoist to promise one thing."
Zhang Yan said with a straight face, "Please speak, Mister Shi."
Mister Shi looked outside the abode and sighed. "Among my descendants, there is a grandnephew with excellent aptitude. It's just that this old man can't teach him. Originally, Bao Dingheng promised to bring him into a sect to cultivate, but now …"
Zhang Yan understood his intention. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "This matter is not difficult. I have friendly relations with a few sects. I am willing to introduce Mister Shi's grandnephew to you."
Mister Shi looked deeply at Zhang Yan and said, "Fellow Daoist Li is indeed not an ordinary wandering cultivator."
Zhang Yan only smiled and did not say anything.
Mister Shi looked at the faintly discernible mountain range outside and his eyes also brightened. He said with emotion, "Fine, this old man has been searching for the Zoysia all his life. Now that I'm past my prime, if I can find the Zoysia Ancestor and use this matter as the bet of my life, I will have no regrets."
Zhang Yan nodded and smiled. Just as he was about to ask for Mister Shi's grandnephew's name, his expression changed slightly. He stood up and said, "Mister Shi, please wait for a moment. I'll be right back."
He walked out of the abode and looked toward the southeast. He saw a flying boat coming in this direction, but there was a streak of light chasing closely behind it. The person was shouting as if he wanted the person in front to stop. It seemed like it wouldn't take long for the person in front to catch up.
There were two people standing on the flying boat, and they both looked flustered. Suddenly, one of them accidentally saw Zhang Yan and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, can you help us two brothers stop this person? I am willing to repay you with a great gift!"
The person chasing behind was a fierce cultivator. He glanced around and saw that Zhang Yan was alone. He guessed that he didn't have any background, so he didn't say anything. He raised his hand and threw, releasing a red streak of light towards him.
Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold. It seemed like this kind of person who didn't ask for a reason made him a bit angry. He shouted and raised his hand, slapping the light in front of him away. Then, he flicked his sleeve and a golden light flashed. A golden hammer appeared in the air and whizzed towards the person's head.
But this person still didn't know what was good for him and still shouted, "I am from the Hong Lang Wu Clan, you dare …"
How could Zhang Yan have the patience to listen to what he had to say? The golden hammer smashed down on the man's head. "Pa!" A rain of blood burst out from the man's head. The cultivator died before he could even make a sound. His corpse fell down the thousand-foot deep ravine.
The two people who were running for their lives originally had nowhere else to go. They only saw Zhang Yan as a life-saving straw and randomly asked for help. They didn't really think that he would be able to save them. Who would've thought that Zhang Yan would kill this person with just a raise of his hand? They couldn't help but be stunned.
They only came back to their senses after a while and hesitantly controlled the flying boat to come forward. The person who spoke before clasped his hands at Zhang Yan and said, "This one is Xu Yankuang, greetings Fellow Daoist."
He then pointed at the person who looked similar to him and said, "This is my younger brother, Xu Yanfu. Thank you for saving us."
Zhang Yan glanced at the two of them and saw that they were wearing ordinary clothes. They were only at the first level of the Mystic Light Realm, and they were wandering cultivators. They were probably nothing to the Hong Lang Wu Clan, so why would they send people to kill them? He found it strange and asked, "Why is that person chasing after you and your brother?"
Xu Yankuang smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist might not know this, but the Wu Clan has already taken over the Nine Heads Peak. They said that no one is allowed to pick the medicinal mushrooms on the peak, so they are chasing other cultivators away. We two brothers left late, and it just so happened that …"
Before he could finish, Xu Yanfu, who was next to him, pulled on his sleeve and stopped him with a look. Xu Yankuang continued, "We two brothers couldn't avoid them in time, so we angered the Wu Clan and made them send people to chase after us."
Xu Yankuang sighed and said, "The Wu Clan is powerful, and they have nothing to worry about in the Green Inch Mountain. Even if we are killed, there's no one to argue with. What can we do? Why don't we go to the other peaks and try our luck? I just hope that the other clans aren't as tyrannical as them. "
Although the Green Inch Mountain was tens of thousands of miles away, most of the medicinal mushrooms grew on the five peaks. Compared to other places, the medicinal mushrooms here were not only of higher quality, but they were also easier to find. Therefore, most of the cultivators that entered the mountain gathered at the foot of the five peaks.
Xu Yankuang cupped his hands and asked, "I haven't asked for this Fellow Daoist's name."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "I am Li Yuanba."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Li." Xu Yankuang cupped his hands again and said, "The person that Fellow Daoist just killed was a guest of the Wu Clan. If he doesn't return after a long time, I'm afraid that the Wu Clan will send people to investigate. Why don't Fellow Daoist come with us two brothers and go somewhere else?"
Xu Yanfu also hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right. Why don't Fellow Daoist travel with us two brothers so that we can look after each other."
He was also a perceptive person. Just now, he saw that Zhang Yan's cultivation was profound, and his clothes were luxurious. The Wu Clan's disciples also killed him as they pleased and didn't take it seriously at all. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary loose cultivator, so he wanted to invite him to travel with them.
Zhang Yan didn't answer and just looked behind them.
Xu Yankuang and his brother seemed to sense something and turned back to look. Their expressions changed greatly when they saw that in the distant sky, there were more than ten streaks of light flying towards them.
