White clouds drifted, and the wind whistled.
The massive body of the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast soared in the sky, and the powerful might of a Half-Zhizun realm expert was released. The other aerial savage beasts fled in fear, not daring to approach.
In the room on the back of the beast, Zhang Xuan and Mo Yu sat opposite each other.
"There are many aerial savage beasts in the sky. If one isn't riding on the Howling Firmament Beast, he will be harassed. Even though safety isn't a problem, it will be troublesome."
Mo Yu said as she gazed at the vast sky through the window.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
He had gained some understanding of the world through reading books.
The sky might seem peaceful, but just like on land, it was survival of the fittest.
If the aerial savage beast wasn't strong, it was easy for other savage beasts to target it. Perhaps, it might even be ambushed in midair.
This was precisely the reason why the higher the tier of the savage beast, the more expensive it was.
It wasn't just about speed, but also safety.
"If you want to find the Poison Temple, you'll have to go to Red Lotus City first!"
After a night of recuperation, Mo Yu finally suppressed her rage. Looking at the young man before her, she reverted back to the cold and disdainful look of a princess.
"Red Lotus City?"
"That's right. It's an ancient city at the foot of Red Lotus Ridge, and one has to pass through it to enter the mountain range. The person I'm talking about is in the city." Mo Yu nodded.
"Is he a poison master?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"No, he's a herb king!" Mo Yu replied.
"Herb king?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Apothecaries and physicians required medicinal herbs in order to forge pills and treat illnesses. The cultivation, purchase, and sale of medicinal herbs... There were specialized channels, and those who controlled these channels were known as herb kings.
The Poison Hall specializes in the use of poison, so why would they associate themselves with such a person?
"This is one of the core secrets of the kingdom, and I only heard of it from someone else."
Mo Yu frowned. "The Poison Temple is hidden within the mountain range, and every year, countless people attempt to learn from it, only to die under its poisonous miasma. Legend has it that the only way to find it is through the herb king. This is because the Poison Temple requires a large amount of medicinal herbs to concoct its poison, and it needs to sell the poison... And the only way to buy it is through them! There are thirteen herb kings in the Red Lotus City, and the one I'm talking about is the most formidable of them all, the Great Herb King. "
"The Great Herb King controls the distribution of medicinal herbs in the entire Red Lotus City. If there is anyone who is in contact with the Poison Temple, it has to be him. However..."
Mo Yu hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I heard that the Great Herb King is already advanced in age, and he doesn't bother with worldly affairs anymore. It is impossible for us to meet him and get him to lead the way to the Poison Temple."
"Impossible? Then you said you would help me find the Poison Temple … "Zhang Xuan was speechless.
Previously, this fellow had promised to help him find the Poison Temple. Yet, he couldn't even meet the Great Herb King and refused to lead the way. What kind of help was this?
"Previously, I only said that I would help you find this person. As for whether or not you can see him or not, it's none of my business!"
Miss Mo Yu had a smug look on her face.
Aren't you angering me every day?
See how I make you angry!
"I see!"
Zhang Xuan thought about it carefully. The other party did say that she would help him find this person, but she didn't say that she would bring him to the Poison Temple.
No matter how he looked at it, it was a loss for him to teach the other party how to forge pills.
He had always been the one to scam others, but to think that he would be scammed by this fellow.
However, it didn't matter. As long as he could find this person, it would mean that he had made great progress. At least he wouldn't be blindly groping for an elephant.
"Hmm?"
Mo Yu thought that the other party would be flustered and flustered upon hearing those words. Yet, he only uttered a 'I see' before falling silent. Mo Yu turned to look at him, only to see a leisurely expression on the other party's face.
"Aren't you worried that the other party won't meet you?" After a moment, she couldn't help but ask.
The Great Herb King was already advanced in age, and he wouldn't meet anyone. Why wasn't this fellow anxious at all?
"I'm worried!" Zhang Xuan replied.
"Then you …" Mo Yu blinked her eyes. Do you look worried? Why can't I tell at all?
"There's no point in worrying. Rather than wasting my time, why don't I calculate when you will repay the money you owe me …"
At this point, Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully, "Right, it can't be that you are an imposter, right? Otherwise, how can you be so poor? Not only did you refuse to repay me, you even shamelessly rode on my tamed beast? "
"…"
Mo Yu's body swayed.
She thought that she would be able to admire the other party's deflated expression after winning this round. Never in her dreams did she expect that the other party's words would infuriate her once more.
Damn it!
She knew that this fellow was up to no good, but she didn't expect it to be so …
It seemed like it would be best for her not to speak with him in the future. Otherwise, she would die in his hands sooner or later …
"Hmph!"
She gritted her teeth furiously, but she didn't dare to speak anymore. She puffed up her cheeks and ignored the other party.
"Sigh, to think that you wouldn't allow me to talk about your debt. People these days are too thick-skinned!"
Muttering to himself, Zhang Xuan stretched his back lazily.
"You …"
Mo Yu gritted her teeth furiously. For a moment, she really regretted following this fellow out.
Other people would tread carefully before beauties, fearing that they would offend them with their words. Yet, this fellow dared to say anything that he didn't like.
How could there be such a fellow in the world?
She thought that she would be angered to death on the road for the next two days, but the other party didn't pay any attention to her at all. Instead, he was sitting quietly by the side of the room … in a daze.
"What's going on?"
Initially, she thought that the other party was intentionally putting on an act. But in the end, he ended up sitting there for more than a day. His eyes were bloodshot and fatigued, leaving her bewildered.
If it was infuriating, this fellow would definitely infuriate her to death.
If it was a genius, even she couldn't match up to him.
If it was smart, why was he sitting there in a daze?
She was getting more and more confused by the fellow before her.
Paying no heed to the other party's confusion, Zhang Xuan was currently immersed in the Library of Heaven's Path, studying.
While his consciousness was immersed in the Library of Heaven's Path, it looked as though he was in a daze from the outside.
Books were kept in the Library of Heaven's Path. When he wanted to, he would be able to browse through them with just a thought. However, they weren't his knowledge. Only by memorizing them would he be able to utilize them freely and not panic when faced with a problem.
Having been in this world for more than twenty days, he knew that he couldn't rely solely on the Library of Heaven's Path to become a true master teacher. He had to read more books and learn more. Only with sufficient knowledge would he be able to advance further.
The golden book had the ability to instantly memorize the knowledge in books, but he had no idea when it would appear. Since he had nothing better to do at the moment, and he didn't have any Heaven's Path Divine Art to cultivate, he might as well read more books and convert more knowledge into more strength.
"Un? To think that there would be so many books on disguise in Tianxuan Kingdom's Book Collection Vault. "
Sweeping through the books in the kingdom's Book Collection Vault, Zhang Xuan's gaze suddenly stopped on a particular bookshelf.
There were more than a thousand books, and they were all on disguise and disguise.
"I heard that when Emperor Shen Zhui was young, he had once traveled the world. Could these books have been collected by him? After all, as a prince of a kingdom, there are many people who want to kill him. It would be much safer for him to disguise himself. "
A thought flashed through Zhang Xuan's mind.
He had heard that when Emperor Shen Zhui was young, he had traveled the world to train. If he were to travel with his original appearance, he would have long been dead.
Royal authority was devoid of kinship.
For the sole throne, there were countless instances of brothers killing one another.
When Emperor Shen Zhui was traveling, his cultivation realm wasn't too high. The reason why he collected these books on disguise and disguise was probably for his own safety.
"Since there are so many books here, let's see if I can compile them into a Heaven's Path manual!"
At this point, Zhang Xuan's mind jolted, and the correct content of the books slowly appeared in his mind. A moment later, a book appeared in his mind.
"It's possible!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he casually flipped open the newly formed book.
"The art of disguise is based on the heart. Using pills to alter one's appearance and suppress one's voice is the lowest level. In order to truly disguise oneself, one has to have an extremely strong control over one's muscles … "
The book was filled with knowledge regarding disguise.
After browsing through it for a moment, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It was no wonder Liu Ling and the others were able to see through his disguise as Yang Xuan. After reading this book, he realized that his disguise back then was simply too poor.
It was only because Tianxuan Kingdom was too weak that it didn't have any formidable experts.
Otherwise, putting aside Tianwu Kingdom, even in some Tier 2 Kingdoms, his disguise wouldn't be able to fool too many people.
Soon, Zhang Xuan finished reading the entire book.
"Even though these are just the basics of disguise, it will allow me to alter my appearance so that many people won't be able to recognize me!"
Even though the books in Tianxuan Kingdom only contained the most basic of disguises, after mastering them, he would be able to alter his appearance easily, making it hard for Liu Shi and the others to notice him.
"This disguise technique requires one to have absolute control over one's muscles. Through changing the position of one's muscles, one can alter one's appearance. It would be impossible for anyone else to cultivate this technique. Just controlling one's muscles is already difficult enough, but I'm different! After cultivating the Heaven's Path Golden Body, my muscles have become flexible and I can move them freely. "
Zhang Xuan chuckled lightly.
After reading through this Heaven's Path Disguise Technique, he was more or less done with it.
At this moment, even without using pills, he could easily alter his appearance, making it hard for others to notice him.
With this ability, even if he couldn't defeat his enemies, as long as he could alter his appearance, it would be hard for others to notice him.
This was equivalent to having an additional means to protect his life.
"We're here!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to test out the disguise technique he had just learned, Mo Yu's voice sounded.
Opening his eyes, Zhang Xuan looked out of the window and saw a massive mountain range before him.
This mountain range stretched for several thousand kilometers. Devoid of any vegetation, the entire mountain range was crimson red. It seemed to be filled with rocks and sand, giving it a desolate feeling.
"This is the Red Lotus Mountain Range?"
The undulating mountain range stretched endlessly without an end in sight. It was like a gigantic lotus embedded in the vast earth.
It was no wonder why it was said that it was impossible to find it. Given the size of the mountain range, it was indeed difficult to find a concealed Poison Temple.
"Yes, that's the Red Lotus City!" Mo Yu pointed.
Following the direction of her finger, Zhang Xuan saw a city that had been built for an innumerable period of time. It stood majestically under the morning sun, exuding an ancient aura.
