Among the seven cities of the Silvermoon Empire, Dark Moon City was the weakest.
In fact, it was located in a rather remote area.
It was surrounded by many villages and towns. The humid air around Yu Town made it suitable for growing all kinds of medicinal plants. Therefore, Yu Town was the birthplace of the Yu Clan.
To the north of Yu Town were dense forests, swamps, and poisonous insects.
Rumor had it that one could reach the Divine Might Empire's territory by traveling north through swamps and forests.
However, because of the steep terrain and the great distance from the Divine Might Empire, the Silvermoon Empire and the Divine Might Empire didn't usually establish contact through that area.
Only cultivators with extraordinary cultivation bases could travel through that area at a relatively fast speed and without fear of danger.
The sun hung high in the sky, scorching hot.
Yu Yuan stood in the bushes that reached his waist in the north of Yu Town, looking around with narrowed eyes.
The dark-skinned little girl named Yushu had bright eyes that shone with a strange light as she looked around curiously. From time to time, her nose would twitch slightly, as if she was trying to identify some special scents.
"Why are you here, Young Master Yu?"
Ning Ji, who had followed Yu Yuan here, stood on his tiptoes and saw nothing but bushes. "The north does lead to the Divine Might Empire, but it's a long way to go. The Divine Might Empire is so powerful, yet they've never thought of passing through this area and infiltrating the Silvermoon Empire. Do you know why? "
Yu Yuan smiled and said, "I know a little."
Ning Ji's eyes lit up. "You know that too?"
"Yeah," Yu Yuan nodded. "As far as I know, this area to the north of Yu Town is incomparably vast. It's just that it's mostly bushes and swamps. Some special places even give birth to vicious beasts and insects that are very difficult to deal with. The environment is very harsh, and the spiritual Qi is extremely thin. It's not suitable for mortals or cultivators to live in. "
"That's right," Ning Ji said.
"It's meaningless to develop this area. Add to that the harsh environment, and it's become a hiding place for exiles over time." Yu Yuan grinned and said, "There are a lot of people from the Silver Moon Empire and the Divine Might Empire who have committed heinous crimes in their own countries, so they would flee there."
"That place is vast and sparsely populated. Coupled with the dense vegetation, it will be very difficult to find them once they enter."
"To the true grand cultivators, those wanderers who can use the Yin Soul, the criminals of the two countries are just small fries. They won't capture them, which is why many people are able to escape the pursuit of the two countries."
As a matter of fact, he knew that all of the outsider souls were imprisoned in the forbidden land of the Falling Moons.
They were exiled to the north of Yu Clan's town, and none of them were important figures.
"Then what are you doing here?" Ning Ji asked curiously.
"I want to open up a new land and set it as a medicinal garden to grow and cultivate new medicinal herbs." Looking straight ahead, Yu Yuan had long since come up with a plan. "Let the barren herb gardens around Yu Town remain barren. The medicinal herbs planted there are all rare and common. They are not in short supply or irreplaceable. "
"Yu Yuan!"
With a loud and clear shout, they saw a meat wall sitting on the back of a huge white tiger. It crushed the bushes all the way and appeared majestically.
It was none other than Zhao Yafu's father, Zhao Dongsheng.
His voice was as loud as a bell as he laughed wildly as he patted the white tiger's back. Only after rushing to Yu Yuan's side did he stop and say, "I knew you would be fine! My father is in Yu Town. He's old now, so he's waiting for you there. When I came here, I happened to see your grandfather, your aunt, and the others in Yu Town. "
Yu Yuan bowed slightly. "Nice to meet you, Uncle Zhao. How's Yafu doing?"
"Thanks to you, she's doing very well." Zhao Dongsheng blinked and said in a mysterious tone, "She's not in the Silver Moon Empire right now, so she can't see you right away."
Yu Yuan nodded to show that he understood.
Zhao Dongsheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you just say that you're going to open up a new area and plant a medicinal herb garden here? Are you sure? It's said that the climate here is indeed suitable for growing medicinal herbs. However, your clan's ancestors have tried to do so many years ago, and all of them failed. Also, even if you can grow medicinal herbs, it'll be hard to sell them. "
"The medicinal herbs I'm going to plant here will be different from those in Yu Town." The corner of Yu Yuan's mouth twitched as he said, "When the medicinal herbs I plant grow, I'll spread the word. Then, I won't have to worry about not being able to sell them. The major clans in the Silver Moon Empire, including the Su Clan, will want them. When the time comes, I may not be willing to pay them. "
His words were arrogant and overbearing.
Zhao Dongsheng stared at him deeply and suddenly said, "You brat, I believe in you! If you're going to start, just let us know if the Zhao Family can help you with anything! "
"Thank you for taking care of me while I'm away, Uncle Zhao," Yu Yuan said.
"I didn't help you much." Zhao Dongsheng looked somewhat ashamed. "The city magistrate can't solve the problem your clan is facing, and neither can our clan. Fortunately, our Zhao Family's foundation is quite solid. If it's within my ability, I'll help you out. "
Yu Yuan nodded. "That's enough. Let's go back to Yu Town."
With these words, he turned around and left.
Zhao Dongsheng smiled and said, "Yeah, my father, your grandfather, and the others are waiting for you in town."
Ning Ji curiously looked at Yu Zhu, who had been acting strangely since she had arrived.
As if she had been instructed by Yu Yuan, Yu Zhu didn't show any sign of turning around. Instead, she walked deeper into the forest after Yu Yuan turned around.
Ning Ji had a lot of questions about this dark, skinny, and ugly little girl that Yu Yuan had brought back. However, since Yu Yuan didn't explain, he didn't ask.
Therefore, he pretended that he hadn't seen anything and followed Yu Yuan back.
After everyone left, Yu Zhu walked into the depths of the forest by herself.
She wandered about as if bored to death, but wherever she passed, the dense, well-grown shrubs suddenly fell in rows.
Under the bushes, sparkling and translucent bones could be seen cutting the bushes like sharp scythes.
Large tracts of empty land were easily cleared out.
Yu Zhu, however, continued to walk deeper into the forest.
Wisps of mist and colorful spots that couldn't be seen with the naked eye seemed to be attracted by her and magically floated out of the damp ground before vanishing into her body.
All of the special toxins that were harmful to the growth of spiritual plants in the depths of the earth became her nourishment.
The reason why Yu Yuan had decided to open a herb garden in this area was because of her.
As her creator, Yu Yuan knew her wonders better than anyone else. That was why he had brought her out of Jade Peak Mountain Range.
As long as she was here, this heaven and earth would have infinite possibilities.
In fact, this place was even more suitable for her than Jade Peak Mountain Range or Ill Wind Valley.
The swamp in Jade Peak Mountain Range was only a small area that was filled with poisonous smoke and miasma.
The Heavenly Medicine Sect had listed that place as a forbidden area. It was the swamp where she was imprisoned. The miasma in that swamp actually originated from this world. In her previous life, Yu Yuan had collected it and brought it to the Bifeng Mountain Range specifically for her.
The reason why he had arranged for Yu Zhu to stay in Jade Peak Mountain Range instead of here was because he had been the sectmaster of the Medicine God Sect, and the Heavenly Medicine Sect had to listen to him.
In fact, the most suitable place for Yutu was this vast and uninhabited forest between Dark Moon City and the Divine Might Empire.
...
In Yu Clan's old mansion in Town of Yu.
Yu Can was burning with anxiety as he kept looking to the north. He didn't hear what Zhao Zhenghao had said at all.
All he cared about was when his grandson, Yu Yuan, would return.
Through the herb slaves in town, he had already confirmed that his grandson, who was rumored to have died in the forbidden area of the Falling Moons, had indeed returned alive.
Even his old friend, Ning Ji, was hiding in town behind his back, waiting for his grandson's return.
If Zhao Zhenghao hadn't told him that Zhao Dongsheng had already gone to inform Yu Yuan of his arrival, he probably wouldn't have been able to wait any longer, and would have left for the desolate area in the north.
"Grandpa, someone is here to see you."
With a cold face, Yu Ji walked in from outside and said to Yu Can and Zhao Zhenghao, who seemed to be talking to each other.
"Someone is here to see you? Who is it? " Yu Can asked curiously. "This is Yu Town, not Dark Moon City. How did someone know that we left the city and came to Yu Town so quickly?"
"That person claimed to be from the Frigid Yin Sect," Yu Li said.
"The Frigid Yin Sect?!"
Both Yu Can and Zhao Zhenghao's expressions flickered upon hearing this.
Cultivators from the Frigid Yin Sect hadn't shown up since their defeat in Dark Moon City.
Why would they suddenly show up this time? What a coincidence!
"No!" Yu Can said in a low voice.
"I can't believe that a Profound Shatterer cultivator from a tiny Dark Moon City would be so rude!"
A disdainful snort suddenly rang out as the person used the word "tiny" three times in a row to express his disdain for the Yu Clan and Yu Can. Then, he showed up despite Yu Can's refusal.
