On the Penglai Island, it was spring all year round.
He Yiming listened to the joyous laughter outside and felt the festive atmosphere. He looked into the distance and thought of the distant He Family Village.
He let out a long sigh. If Huo Dongcheng had not reminded him, he would not have known that it was the new year.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. He Yiming had not been home for the holidays for two years.
However, he also knew that since he had chosen the path of martial arts, traveling was an essential part of his life.
If he hadn't walked out of the northwest, if he hadn't experienced the Grand Divine Wind Palace, the Crying Ghost Ridge, and the trip to the deserted island, he wouldn't have made such rapid progress in his martial arts cultivation, let alone making a good friend and gaining the recognition of a Sacred Beast.
Moreover, he still had the Nine-Dragon Furnace, Black Iron, and Dragon-Snake Horn in the Spatial Ring on his chest.
All of these were obtained after his travels. If others knew about this, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. Even the top sects, including the Grand Divine Wind Palace and the Northwest Heavenly Lake, would not let him go.
As he was thinking, his ears twitched slightly. He smiled and said, "Dongcheng, come in."
Huo Dongcheng's loud voice came from the door. He pushed the door open and walked in. He came in front of He Yiming and bowed respectfully to the ground. He said, "Mr. He, today is the first day of the new year. Uncle brought his family to the city for a tour. He would like to invite Mr. He to come with us."
He Yiming hesitated. Although he had come to the Penglai Island, he had only stayed for a short period of time. Moreover, he had only stayed for three days. When he heard this suggestion, he could not help but feel a little moved.
Huo Dongcheng nodded slightly. He was overjoyed. Before he came here, he did not have high expectations. He did not expect He Yiming to agree without hesitation.
When they arrived outside the Huo family, several luxurious carriages were already prepared.
To He Yiming's surprise, even Huo Leqing was in the group.
When He Yiming came out, Huo Leqing immediately went forward to greet him. Behind him were three men with similar faces.
Other than Huo Hongsheng, there was also Huo Dongcheng's father, Huo Hongxiang, and Huo Hongyu, who had already reached the peak of Level 10.
He Yiming had accepted Huo Dongcheng as a disciple on behalf of his friend, but this was the first time he had met his father and the future hope of the Huo family, Huo Hongyu.
He Yiming's gaze swept across the two men, and they hurriedly lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to meet his gaze. It was clear that Huo Leqing had sternly warned them before coming here, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
He Yiming's gaze swept past Huo Hongxiang's body, and he looked deeply at Huo Hongyu.
His gaze was deep and unfathomable, causing Huo Hongyu to shudder.
He Yiming finally understood why Huo Dongcheng was so sure that Huo Hongyu would be able to reach the Xiantian realm within ten years. It was because Huo Hongyu cultivated both fire and wood, and it seemed that he had only recently reached the peak of Level 10.
It was indeed very likely that he would reach the Xiantian realm within ten years.
When Huo Leqing saw He Yiming's gaze fall on the third man, he hurriedly said, "Mr. He, this is Little Pup, Huo Hongyu, the most outstanding of the second generation."
He Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, fire and earth dual cultivators. If you can coordinate well, you can take the final step at any time. Congratulations, Brother Huo."
Huo Leqing humbly said a few words, but he was even more surprised. Mr. He had only taken a glance, but he had already seen through Huo Hongyu's real situation. His vision was so brilliant that it was unbelievable.
When they arrived at the carriage, He Yiming's gaze swept over them, and he waved at Huo Dongcheng, who immediately got on excitedly.
Although Huo Leqing also wanted to get on the carriage, since He Yiming didn't say anything, he didn't have the courage to act rashly. He waved his hand and all the carriages rushed in one direction.
He Yiming sat in the carriage, his ears listening to the sounds outside, and asked, "Where are we going?"
Huo Dongcheng took out the tea and fruits prepared in the carriage and said, "Senior, twenty miles away is one of the most famous cities on Penglai, Qianshan City. Every New Year, countless people would go there for the market. Especially in the past few decades, the number of people has been increasing. Qianshan City is already the second largest city after Haitian City. "
He Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Qianshan City should be related to one of the three major sects of Penglai, Qianshan Sect."
Huo Dongcheng nodded heavily, his eyes filled with intense envy, "Qianshan City is under Qianshan Mountain, and it is the most important place for Qianshan Sect." He lowered his voice and said, "During the New Year, the three major sects will open up the surrounding sea. Not only will the various small sects flood into the city, but even people from all the islands will come to the island. It is the most lively time of the year."
He Yiming saw the joy in Huo Dongcheng's eyes and couldn't help but shake his head in amusement. What a big child.
However, he was immediately surprised. After the New Year, he would only be twenty-one years old. Even compared to Huo Dongcheng, there was only a difference of four or five years.
However, his mentality was already completely different from the other party.
He sighed softly. Could this be what people often said about aging prematurely?
As if he felt He Yiming's mood wasn't high, Huo Dongcheng didn't dare to say anything. He silently poured more tea for He Yiming and then waited to the side.
The carriage traveled quickly and steadily, and they had already arrived at Qianshan City at noon.
At this time, everyone had already gotten off the carriage because in these days, except for the carriages of Qianshan Sect, the carriages of other small sects were not allowed to enter the city.
Although Huo Leqing was not afraid of the Qianshan Sect disciples at the city gate, he did not dare to disobey this order. So when they were one li away from the city, everyone had already gotten off the carriage.
This city was built on a mountain, and the tall mountain behind it should be the famous Qianshan Mountain of Penglai.
The scale of this city was not small. Although it was not as exaggerated as the Grand Spirit Palace, it could accommodate more than 300,000 people without any problem.
At this time, the city gate was wide open, and from outside the city, countless people had already set up stalls to sell.
He Yiming roughly glanced at it. There was a dazzling array of things inside, dazzling him. However, most of the things here were household goods, and there was nothing that caught He Yiming's eye.
There were dozens of large men wearing uniforms and carrying weapons outside the city gate. All of them were in high spirits. Both of their eyes were like lightning as they swept their surroundings. Anyone who looked at them would have a face full of smiles.
A person quickly walked over from the city gate. It was Zhang Heti. He stepped forward with a big smile and said, "Mr. He, Brother Huo, you're finally here." He cupped his fist and said apologetically, "I have bad luck today, and it's my turn to be on duty. I can only leave the city gate in another two hours. At that time, I'll take you two to stroll around the city and find a restaurant. We won't return until we're drunk."
He Yiming smiled noncommittally and said, "Brother Zhang, the order here is very good."
Zhang Heti said proudly, "Mr. He is right. This is the foot of Qianshan Mountain. Everyone who comes here will give some face to the Qianshan Sect, so no one dares to make trouble here."
When he said this, he was full of pride. Obviously, he had firm confidence in the sect.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a clamor rang out in the city, and it quickly spread toward them.
He Yiming and the others looked at him in surprise. Zhang Heti's old face immediately flushed red, and he was furious. 'Who are these people? How dare they make trouble at this time? It's really embarrassing for me.'
"Please wait a moment. I'll be right back." Zhang Heti cupped his fist and was about to leave.
However, a white figure flashed from the city gate and immediately appeared outside the city gate. Then, two more figures rushed out as if they were flying.
When the guards outside the gate saw Zhang Heti's expression, they knew something was wrong, so they immediately went forward to stop them. However, the three figures were unbelievably fast, and they were far from what they could compare to. With a slight sway, they passed by them, and they could no longer stop them.
He Yiming's eyes suddenly lit up, and then his face sank as if it was covered in a thick layer of frost.
The first to rush out was actually a cute white pig with a snow-white body, and behind it, two elders were raising the trident in their hands to stab at the Treasure Pig with faces full of anger. From the looks of it, they seemed to want to kill the white pig on the spot.
Zhang Heti and Huo Leqing's expressions changed slightly. They naturally recognized the two old men. They were the overlords of a nearby island. Both brothers were Innate Masters, and they were one of the strong candidates to enter the Penglai Immortal Island's Top 100 Small Clans.
However, they couldn't figure out why the two old men were chasing the little pig and didn't hesitate to cause a disturbance in the city.
The two three-pronged pitchforks danced in the air, creating an inescapable net that enveloped the cute white pig.
As for the white pig, it was different from its usual self. It did not display the lightning-fast speed that it had displayed earlier to escape. Instead, it stayed where it was in a daze. It opened its big mouth and smiled, appearing abnormally cute.
Huo Dongcheng and the other young people exclaimed.
The white pig seemed to have a special charm that could make people have a good impression of it at first glance.
Of course, this charm was greatly reduced to Innate Masters and those old men who had seen too much of the world's hypocrisy. However, to young people like Huo Dongcheng and even people like Huo Hongsheng, it was still very attractive.
Therefore, they definitely didn't want to see the white pig die at the hands of the two old men.
Zhang Heti's body moved slightly. He originally wanted to stop them, but his heart moved slightly, and he immediately stopped to observe the situation.
A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the two old men. They looked at the white pig that seemed to have become stupid, and the speed of their tridents seemed to become even faster.
However, just as the two strange weapons were about to stab Treasure Pig, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out and grabbed the two pitchforks in a nimble manner.
Suddenly, the shadows of the tridents that filled the sky disappeared, leaving only the angry and frightened roars of the two old men.
