"Tempest Tavern? What's going on? "Miao Yi asked.
Yao Ruoxian casually replied, "Don't you understand human language? An inn! A place to eat, drink, and sleep. "
Damn it, how can I not know that the inn is a place to eat, drink, and stay? Miao Yi had a resigned look on his face as he humbly asked, "What I want to know is, why do you have to go to that Tempest Tavern when you encounter a danger you can't resolve?"
"Of course it's to avoid danger!" Yao Ruoxian was obviously toying with him. However, when he saw the look in Qian'Er and Xue'Er's eyes, he coughed dryly and added, "The safest places in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea are none other than the Six Nations Chamber of Commerce's branch there, or the Tempest Tavern. We all know how the Six Nations' Chamber of Commerce works, so don't count on us outsiders. Not to mention, it's not a place where we can call the shots. That's why whenever we encounter any danger we can't resolve, we'll immediately hide in the Tempest Tavern. No one dares to cause trouble there. "
Why is it so hard to talk to you! Miao Yi had the urge to flip the table and beat him up, but he couldn't beat him. He could only patiently ask, "Why is it that no one dares to cause trouble in that tavern?"
"Naturally, it's because he doesn't want to stir up trouble." Yao Ruoxian stroked his scruffy beard and shook his head. "As the saying goes, 'The Tempest of Heaven and Earth is a tavern. No grudges, only guests. Do not enter!' These are the words on the signboard of the Tempest Tavern."
Miao Yi clicked his tongue and said, "These words sound aloof from worldly affairs, but there's a hint of domineeringness hidden within them. I'm sure the person who opened this tavern is no ordinary person. Otherwise, how could he keep all the risks out of that place? What's his background?"
Yao Ruoxian narrowed his eyes and said, "What does his background have to do with you? You only need to know that once you enter the inn with money, the danger will stop at the door. "
Miao Yi nodded and asked, "What else?"
"What else?"
"Is there any other way to avoid danger?"
"Yes!"
"Junior humbly asks for guidance."
"Just don't go."
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. What kind of solution was this? Qian'Er and Xue'Er cried out in grief, "Father!"
"Didn't I tell him? It's not as dangerous as he thinks." Yao Ruoxian counted on his fingers and said, "First, don't reveal your official identity. Don't think of yourself as a loose cultivator. Second, don't let others think that you're a fat piece of meat flaunting your wealth. Remember to act poor. As long as you can do these two things, you'll be no different from anyone else in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. The biggest danger was gone. How could ordinary people face so many dangers? Who would look for trouble and fight with their lives on the line, unless they were looking for a beating? But it was true that there was no right or wrong in that place. Whoever's fist was harder would have the final say. If one was killed, robbed, or cheated, there would be no one to reason with. Thus, the third option was to immediately head to the Tempest Tavern to hide if they encountered any danger that they could not resolve. As long as they entered the Tempest Tavern, they would definitely be safe. As for the rest, as long as you don't take the initiative to stir up trouble, even the lowest level of loose cultivators can survive. Based on the fact that you were able to survive the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, are you saying that you can't establish yourself here? "
Miao Yi thought about it and agreed. If even those low level loose cultivators could survive, then there was no reason why he couldn't. It seemed like he had been overthinking things. He immediately calmed down, stood up, and walked towards the door. "I'll bring that damned fatty with me. That bastard has good legs. He'll be able to run away quickly if he encounters any danger!"
Even Charcoal, who was dozing off outside, had once been fat. However, his reputation as the 'damned fatty' still haunted him.
Inside, Yao Ruoxian chuckled, "Don't count on it. That fat bastard just swallowed five hundred Yao Cores yesterday. I don't think he'll wake up for another half a year. Is there a need to go to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea and scare you to this extent? "
Miao Yi turned around in shock and asked, "He swallowed five hundred in one go? Nothing bad will happen to him, right? "
"It's only five Second Grade Yao Cores at most. What could possibly happen to him?" Yao Ruoxian suddenly tossed something over.
Miao Yi caught it and looked at it. It was just an ordinary storage ring. He had no idea what was inside. He infused his transcendence energy into it and found that the space inside was comparable to that of a storage bracelet. He asked in surprise, "This is?"
"A high-grade storage ring that you wanted. Why? You don't want it? "
'A high-grade storage ring?' Miao Yi's eyes brightened. He immediately took out a storage ring to test it out. As expected, he successfully stored it inside. He then took off the storage bracelet on his wrist and stored it inside as well. He was instantly overjoyed. 'This is great! I can stack my storage space to store things. I won't have to worry about not having enough space to store things anymore.'
However, this storage ring didn't look any different from an ordinary storage ring. Yao Ruoxian knew what he was curious about. He said, "It's not a good thing for your cultivation to be too conspicuous. I've given you a disguise. It'll be perfect for your trip to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea."
Miao Yi was overjoyed. It turned out that the old man had already finished refining the ring. He just hadn't given it to him yet. If it weren't for the fact that he had to go to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, the old man would probably still be waiting for him to beg for it.
Miao Yi stuffed all the storage rings he had on him into the storage ring one by one. In the end, there was only one storage ring left. He wore it on his finger and said in satisfaction, "This high-grade storage ring is quite amazing. I wonder who invented the refining method."
"A Yao cultivator!" Yao Ruoxian casually replied.
"A Yao cultivator?" Miao Yi was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"The reason why transcendent artifacts can change in size, and why storage rings can hide a universe, is because the refiner has grasped a certain level of the mysteries of space. That's how they can store and store things. And the first ones to comprehend the mysteries of space were not humans, but Yao cultivators. They were able to change their massive bodies precisely because they had grasped the mysteries of space during their cultivation. After that, they applied the mysteries of space to artifact refinement, which was then gradually mastered by humans. That's why it's said that the founder of transcendent artifact refinement was a Yao cultivator! "
"So that's how it is!" Miao Yi was enlightened. He had learned something new.
He then looked down at Charcoal, who he didn't know when he would wake up. He felt a little conflicted. Traversing Water Palace had already set a time and place for departure. He couldn't wait for Charcoal to wake up before leaving. He could only take out his beast sack and prepare to carry Charcoal away.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoxian spoke up again, "Flowing Clouds Dune Sea is filled with desert. A dragon steed won't be able to unleash its full potential. In some places, it can't even run as fast as you. Why do you need to bring it along with you?"
"I see!" Miao Yi returned to his room and looked up at the motionless praying mantises perched on the roof beams. He opened his palm and sucked in fifteen of them. He didn't bring as many as he did when he went to the Sea of Constellations, but he still brought some with him just in case.
Yao Ruoxian didn't say anything this time. He picked up his brush and continued writing …
In the end, Miao Yi spent a few days making some preparations. He asked Qian'Er and Xue'Er not to reveal his whereabouts. The two ladies asked him what he would do if Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei asked him about it. Miao Yi replied that Traversing Water Palace would give him a reasonable explanation. After all, the two of them had Manor Heads under them as well.
When the time came, Miao Yi didn't ask the two ladies to send him off. He didn't disturb anyone and simply rode off on his dragon steed, as though he was just going out for a stroll. Once he was out of sight, Miao Yi sped up his steed and headed straight for the designated location.
Without stopping, he ran all the way to the border of Traversing Water Palace and stopped at the designated mountain peak. He looked around, but didn't see anyone else. He couldn't help but wonder if he was the first one here.
He took out the map he was given and compared it to the surrounding terrain. After confirming that he wasn't mistaken, he calmed himself down and waited. However, after waiting for a whole day, it was already the designated time, but there was still no one else to be seen. He was immediately bewildered.
Suddenly, a black-robed man descended from the sky. A cultivator with a Second Grade Red Lotus mark on his forehead stared at Miao Yi and said, "Rising Sun!"
Miao Yi was taken aback. So it was the person who had come to receive him. He quickly replied, "Setting Sun!"
The newcomer glanced at the mount beside him and said, "Keep it."
Miao Yi understood and immediately kept the mount into his beast sack. But before he could react, the cultivator had already swept him up into the sky and hurriedly left.
"May I know Senior's name?" Miao Yi asked as he stared at the newcomer.
The man didn't reply. Miao Yi asked again, "Am I alone?"
The man finally replied, "I'm only responsible for escorting you. I don't know anything else."
"…" Miao Yi shut up. His future was uncertain!
On the second day after Miao Yi left, Qin Weiwei arrived at Raincloud Manor with a few other riders in tow. She had come from afar to visit a friend …
Meanwhile, Suppressing Tenth Hall's Xu Jinsong had also arrived at the Suppressing Tenth City's Chamber of Commerce's silent quarters and met up with Su Yanran. "What business do you have with me?"
Su Yanran gestured for him to sit down, then pushed a small jade box in front of him. She smiled and said, "This is yours."
Xu Jinsong was confused. He opened the jade box and saw two bright red spirit pills with a faint red glow inside. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What are these?"
"Spirit Replenishing Pills!" Su Yanran pointed at his severed arm and smiled. "Advisor Xu is indeed impressive. You managed to send Miao Yi away with just one move. This is what I promised you. However, there is something I hope Advisor Xu will remember. It's best that you keep this to yourself. If even the slightest hint of it leaks out, you won't be able to bear the consequences. "
Advisor Xu was surprised. "What sent Miao Yi away?"
Su Yanran was taken aback. She quickly covered her mouth and giggled. "Yes, yes, yes! I was wrong. Nothing happened between us. It's best if we don't meet each other in the future. Yanran won't keep you any longer. "She stood up and extended her hand to send him off.
Xu Jinsong left the Chamber of Commerce after receiving two spirit pills out of the blue. He had no idea what was going on. He didn't even need to guess to know that this was the reward they had agreed on earlier. However, he hadn't heard anything from the higher-ups, and he hadn't done anything at all. How did they give him the reward?
Miao Yi was nowhere to be seen during the year-end tribute. After asking, Shen Huaixin told him that Miao Yi had gone to take care of business. Xu Jinsong fell into deep thought, but he couldn't be sure …
