Yue Qianchou stared at the wine cup in front of him in a daze. Huang Tian smiled faintly, thinking that Yue Qianchou had been intimidated by his earth control technique. Little did he know that Yue Qianchou's little heart was trembling when he heard the words "earth element". In a split second, a deep night sky star map became incomparably clear in his mind, and his heart surged in an instant …
"Although it's not the wine of the immortal world, it's still a fine wine of the mortal world. There's no poison in it, so try it."
Huang Tian's words pulled Yue Qianchou back from his daze. Yue Qianchou's eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes. He picked up the wine cup without hesitation and drained it in one gulp. So what if there was poison in it? Yue Qianchou didn't believe that it could be more poisonous than the Soul Dispelling Smoke. He wasn't even afraid of the Soul Dispelling Smoke, so why would he be afraid of a small cup of poisoned wine?
"Good wine!" Yue Qianchou smacked his lips and praised. Just as he put down the wine cup, he saw a hand reach out from the table and help him fill up the wine. Then, the hand disappeared from the table again.
Yue Qianchou resisted the urge to grab that hand and touch it. He looked around and asked curiously, "The underground palace is all earthy yellow. Is it because of the soil?"
"That's right!" Huang Tian stroked his beard and smiled. "When I was sent here to take care of affairs, I was tempted to build Yellow Soil City because I saw the large yellow soil plains here."
Yue Qianchou's heart stirred and he asked again, "City Lord Huang is proficient in the earth element technique, but you're interested in this place. Is there some difference between yellow soil and normal soil?"
Huang Tian nodded and smiled. "It's rare to see people care about this. That's right! For those who cultivated the Earth Manipulation Technique, although they could control any kind of soil, for beginners, yellow soil was the easiest soil for them to learn and familiarize themselves with. For example, black soil and red soil were much weaker in terms of affinity. Also, yellow soil is more powerful for those who cultivate the earth control technique. The rarest thing is that the yellow soil here is very pure, with almost no other types of mixed soil. Coupled with the existence of such a large area, I was tempted to build a city. "
Yue Qianchou had a thoughtful expression on his face. He vaguely remembered that he had read about the five elements in a book in his previous life. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth each represented the five directions of West, East, North, South, and Central, and each corresponded to the five colors of white, green, black, red, and yellow. He had already practiced the three magic arts of metal, water, and fire. It was precisely by relying on the understanding of the North, West, and South Star Maps that he comprehended at the same time that he simultaneously practiced these three magic arts. His body also produced three crystals of white, black, and red, which were astonishingly consistent with the records of the five elements in the books of his previous life.
In that case, he was certain that he was still lacking the cyan wood element of the Eastern Star Chart and the yellow earth element of the Western Star Chart. Now, coupled with what Huang Tian had said about the yellow soil being beneficial for cultivating the earth control technique, didn't that mean that the best time for him to cultivate the Earth Formula had arrived … in this yellow soil plain?
Thinking back to the night sky star map that had suddenly flashed in his mind, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but become excited. The Five Star Maps had already been deeply imprinted in his mind. There was no mistake. The star map that had involuntarily flashed in his mind was the Eastern Star Map, the position of the Earth Formula's star map.
His previous cultivation experience of the three five elements magic arts told him that the five elements magic arts couldn't be forced. Every time he was attracted by the same element, the corresponding star map would automatically flash in his mind. At the same time, this also meant that the opportunity to cultivate the five elements magic arts had arrived. How could he not be excited? He deeply felt that even if he didn't find the purple fire in the Eastern Holy Land, it wouldn't be a wasted trip. If he hadn't deduced wrongly, once he successfully cultivated the Earth Formula, his cultivation would break through to the Soul Formation stage.
Seeing that he hadn't come back to his senses after a while, Huang Tian asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you're also interested in cultivating the earth control technique?"
"Hehe! That's not it. I just suspect that City Lord Huang's surname is Huang, so that's why I like the yellow soil. "Yue Qianchou casually said. This kind of nonsense was something he could easily come up with.
What kind of logic was this? Huang Tian was stunned. He smiled and said, "It's true that my surname is Huang, but I still don't know little brother's surname and name."
"My name is Yue Qianchou." After Yue Qianchou returned to his senses, he asked, "I wonder what secret City Lord Huang wants to ask me by bringing me underground? It can't be that you only want to ask my name, right?"
Huang Tian stared at Yue Qianchou with a smile for a while before he slowly said, "Although I don't know why I can't see through your cultivation, judging from your reaction when I attacked earlier … If I'm not wrong, your cultivation shouldn't be at the Soul Formation stage. Am I right?"
Huang Tian smiled and looked at Yue Qianchou for a while before he slowly said, "Although I don't know why I can't see through your cultivation, but judging from your reaction when I attacked … If I'm not wrong, your cultivation shouldn't be at the Soul Formation stage. Am I right?"
Huang Tian nodded. "I've guarded this place for many years, so I know a little more than others. That is, if your cultivation hasn't reached the Soul Formation late stage, even if the East Holy Land opens, you won't be able to enter through the entrance. If you force your way in, you'll definitely be crushed into dust by the power of the Heaven and Earth Formation. Then I believe that a human cultivator like you has another way to enter the East Holy Land. Am I right? "
Hearing this, Yue Qianchou's heart shook. He didn't expect this to be a flaw. He narrowed his eyes and said, "So what if I'm right, so what if I'm wrong?"
"Looks like I guessed right. You do have another way to enter the East Holy Land. Hehe! I didn't expect to encounter it. " Huang Tian finished the wine in front of him in one gulp. He put down the wine cup and took a deep breath. It was clear that he was trying his best to calm his agitated emotions. His fingers knocked on the table firmly and said, "This is the reason why I brought you underground. The secret I want to ask is for you to tell me how to leave this East Holy Land."
Yue Qianchou looked around and said with a cold smile, "If I don't tell you, are you going to imprison me here?"
"You can understand it that way." Huang Tian said indifferently, "But this isn't the most important reason. I'm afraid that the walls have ears outside. How can such an important secret fall into the ears of others?"
"Could it be that you want to keep this secret to yourself?" Yue Qianchou put on a fake smile and said, "Don't you want to tell this secret to the Immortal Monarchs of the East and West Palaces? Wouldn't that be a great merit?"
"A great merit? Haha! "Huang Tian laughed loudly. No one knew what he was laughing about, but there was some bitterness hidden in his laughter. After laughing, he shook his head and said, "This isn't something you should be concerned about. You just need to tell me the secret."
Yue Qianchou said with an 'oh', "Why do I feel that once I tell the secret, it will be my death day? Because you don't want a second person to know this secret."
"Do you have a choice?" Huang Tian said indifferently.
"I don't have a choice, but what I want to tell you is that there is actually no secret because I don't know how I got in here." Yue Qianchou sneered and said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Huang Tian's expression turned cold. He stood up and said, "Yue Qianchou, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Yue Qianchou also stood up slowly and said, "Either way, I will die if I don't tell you. If I don't tell you, I might live a little longer. You can do whatever you want." The reason why he was so stubborn was that he was prepared to leave at any moment. After all, the other party would not kill him before the secret was revealed. Unexpectedly, Huang Tian snorted coldly and raised his hand to form a claw above the table. In the blink of an eye, a ball of earth appeared on the table, and a wisp of golden fog was injected from his palm.
After doing all this, Huang Tian turned around with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said, "It seems like you still need some time to think about it. Once you've figured out how to break the ball of earth on the table, I'll be happy to listen to your secret. But remember, my patience is limited. Don't make me use extreme measures to force you. Don't think about escaping. This place is more than enough to trap you. " A hole appeared in the wall in front of him. As he walked out, the wall quickly healed seamlessly.
Yue Qianchou was stunned. He thought that the other party was going to torture him, but he did not expect him to be so gentle. Did he really think that he couldn't escape from this underground palace? He contacted Utopia again and realized that it was still unobstructed. He immediately relaxed. He thought to himself that Huang Tian was underestimating him too much.
He looked around and walked to the spot where Huang Tian had disappeared. He waved his hand and slapped the wall heavily. The impact caused his arm to feel a little numb, but it did not leave a single mark. The wall was actually as hard as iron. He then took out the Green Fire Flying Sword to test it out. In the end, it easily stabbed in with a 'pfft'. It was not as hard as he had imagined. However, the moment the flying sword was pulled out, the wall seemed to be alive. It was soft and hard, and it quickly recovered to its original state.
Yue Qianchou faced the wall speechlessly. It was easy to stab the sword in, but with his cultivation, if he were to fall in, he would probably be crushed to death by the immense pressure from the surroundings. It was no wonder that Huang Tian thought that he could not escape.
"Tsk!" Yue Qianchou waved his hand in disdain and put away the Green Fire Flying Sword. He casually threw a small silver ball to the corner and disappeared from the underground palace.
On the surface, after Huang Tian came out, he slowly walked to the pavilion in the garden. He stood with his hands behind his back as if he was waiting for something. Not long after, a stream of light suddenly shot over from the horizon. A black-clothed man appeared in the garden. When he saw Huang Tian in the pavilion, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, City Lord Huang."
Huang Tian laughed out loud and cupped his hands. "Brother Yue Feng is an envoy of the Celestial City. How can you greet a small border official like me? I have already prepared good wine and delicacies for you. Please! "
"I dare not!" The black-clothed man said politely and walked side by side with Huang Tian to the brightly lit pavilion. If Yue Qianchou saw this scene, he would know that it was not that Huang Tian was gentle and did not torture him, but that he had something to do and did not have time to tangle with him for the time being …
In the dungeon west of the city, Yue Qianchou appeared again. The moment Immortal Lord Crocodile saw him, he immediately transmitted his voice. "Where did you go, kid?"
Yue Qianchou glanced at Boli and the others who were still tossing and turning on the pile of hay and transmitted his voice, "I've already killed that bastard Shang Huan, but who would have thought that I would run into Loess City's City Lord. Do you know who he is? It's that Old Man Huang Tian who gave us clothes for free. I almost suffered a great loss at his hands. "
"You escaped from him?" Immortal Lord Crocodile looked at Yue Qianchou in shock.
"Nonsense! If I didn't escape, would I still be here talking to you? " Yue Qianchou said impatiently, "I came to tell you the truth. I have something to do and will be leaving for a period of time. I don't know when I'll be back, but it won't take too long. You guys can stay here for a while. This is for them to eat and drink. It should be enough until I return. "A storage bag was thrown to Immortal Lord Crocodile …
