Legend had it that Ancestor White Brow had once lived in White Brow City, where demonic beasts fled at the sight of him. Later generations named the city White Brow City to commemorate him.
Because it was close to the Wilderness, the local customs here were very different from those in Middle Earth. The people here liked to wear clothes made of animal hide, which was also called fur. Of course, the fur back then was very different from the fur on Earth. The fur there was crudely made, which was why the people in Middle Earth looked down on it.
On this day, a few men and women dressed in green robes walked on the streets of White Brow City. The men were handsome, and the women were charming. They attracted the attention of many people who liked fur.
These people were Ye Kong and the others who had come all the way here.
Walking on the street, Ye Kong said, "The last time I came here was ten years ago. I was busy summoning Zixuan's soul and didn't have time to tour here. Now, it seems to be very prosperous. I wonder where the market is. I guess the prices of the treasures on the bodies of demonic beasts are very fair."
Li Guanhua said with a smile, "It's fair, but it won't be that cheap. How can there be fools in this day and age?"
Ye Kong said again, "Fellow Daoist Li, where are your friends? Luckily, we caught up. I wonder how they are."
Li Guanhua said with a smile, "Don't panic. Wait for me to cast the spell."
As he spoke, he took out a paper crane from his sleeve. He didn't care what the passersby thought and directly cast a spell on the paper crane. The paper crane seemed to be given a soul. It flew up and led the way.
This kind of paper crane was called Spiritual Guide. As long as one left a strand of the other person's divine sense on the paper crane, it could lead the way in the future as long as the person was within a few hundred miles.
Seeing the immortal master's spell, the passersby panicked and moved away. Ye Kong and the others didn't care. With their strength, they could walk freely no matter where they went in Cang Nan.
They followed the Spiritual Guide paper crane and arrived in front of an inn.
When they arrived at the entrance of the inn, the inn owner hurriedly greeted them. He bowed and asked, "May I ask if you are here to look for Immortal Master Jian Feng?"
Li Guanhua nodded, "Yes."
"This way please." The inn owner hurriedly led the way.
Li Guanhua kept the paper crane. The group followed the shop owner through the shop and came to the backyard, which was an independent courtyard.
"Celestial Master Sword Wind lives here." The innkeeper gave him some directions before quickly walking away.
This small courtyard had already been set up with a restriction, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach. Li Guanhua raised his hand and released a Sound Transmitting Talisman. Soon, he saw the air around the gate distort. Then, with a bang, the courtyard gate opened on its own.
"Daoist Li, please come in." Jian Feng's voice rang out.
Li Guanhua smiled and said, "This Daoist Jian Feng is a loose cultivator who cultivates the sword. I got to know him when I was searching for treasures in the Wilderness. He is a very warm-hearted person, and it's all thanks to him that I managed to get this information."
Ye Kong and the others nodded and followed Li Guanhua into the courtyard, arriving at a wing room. Everyone found this somewhat strange. This Ancestor Sword Wind was simply too arrogant. No matter what, he should have gone out to welcome him. Otherwise, he could have waited in the main hall, but this fellow was hiding in the bedroom, waiting for people to enter. It was a little strange.
When they walked into the wing room, they saw Ancestor Sword Wind sitting cross-legged on the bed. His face was pale, and it was obvious that he was in a bad state.
Li Guanhua was shocked and hurriedly said, "Daoist Jian Feng, you …"
Jian Feng opened his eyes and looked at the people in front of him. Then, he shook his head and gave an irrelevant answer. "Is it just you guys? Forget it, you're still too weak. "
Li Guanhua said, "Daoist Jian Feng, these friends of mine all have great backgrounds and outstanding strength. This time, we're determined to get them. Tell me what's going on with you first."
Jian Feng said, "It's all because of those Ice Silkworm Queens. Originally, I was the one who discovered those Ice Silkworm Queens first, but I calculated that it wasn't time for them to mature yet. I was afraid that obtaining them in advance would affect their quality. Who would have thought that the person traveling with me would secretly inform his sect? Soon, a Yuanying from that sect led a team over. Thus, I hurriedly sent a message to you, asking you to hurry over as soon as possible.
Who knew that you would only arrive today? Originally, that companion said that he would split half with me after the Ice Silkworm Queens are obtained. I didn't believe his words and thought to wait for you guys to arrive first. But who knew that the day before yesterday, those fellows would actually make a move in advance and attack me. I was lucky enough to escape from that Yuanying's hands, but I was already heavily injured. "
Li Guanhua wrung his wrists and sighed. "We've also been delayed on this journey." He continued to ask. "When will the Ice Silkworm Queens mature? And what's the situation with that Sound Wood? "
Jian Feng shook his head and said, "The Ice Silkworm Queens mature today, and the Sound Wood is still there … But in order to prevent others from discovering it, that sect has already laid down an array. With your strength, don't talk about breaking the array, even that Yuanying won't be able to defeat them."
Li Guanhua clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's good that it hasn't matured. Fortunately, we made it in time. Daoist Jian Feng, don't look down on us. Let me introduce you. " Li Guanhua pointed at Ye Kong and said, "This is the person I've mentioned before, the Primordial Chaos Sect's Sect Master Ye Kong who became famous in a single battle ten years ago."
Although Ye Kong hadn't come out for a long time, there had always been rumors circulating in the outside world. Safely returning from Cangbei, bringing back a Mahayana Stage friend, selling cultivation techniques from various sects, battling Lu Zhen, attracting immortals to descend to the mortal world, and the story of Lian Ruolan from Spiritual Medicine Mountain, these matters had long spread throughout the Cangnan Immortal World.
When Jian Feng heard this, he immediately said in shock, "So it's Sect Master Ye. I've offended you earlier. With Sect Master Ye's appearance, this matter can be settled."
Ye Kong also smiled and said, "I heard from Daoist Li that you're a loyal person. You helped him find the Ice Silkworm Queens, and now you're even injured. Ye Kong admires this kind of loyal person the most. I've long heard of you."
Jian Feng smiled and laughed at himself. "Actually, I only wanted to earn some spirit stones. I'm a rogue cultivator after all … Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in the end, and instead, I was heavily injured."
Ye Kong smiled and placed his hand on his storage ring to search for elixirs that Jian Feng could use.
At this moment, Li Guanhua continued to introduce, "This is Daoist Cao Muse, the niece of Cloud Talisman Sect's leader, Yuanying … And this Cao Junfeng is even more incredible. Don't look at him just because he's in the early-stage Core Formation realm. His Natal Dharma Treasure is very powerful. Even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator might not be his match."
Li Guanhua only said that Cao Junfeng's Dharma Treasure was powerful, but he didn't specifically say what Dharma Treasure it was. This was an unspoken rule. After all, cultivators didn't want too many people to know about their secrets and trump cards.
Jian Feng was a rogue cultivator. When he heard that these were people from prestigious sects with great backgrounds, he hurriedly returned the greeting.
At this moment, Ye Kong had already organized a small bag and handed it over. He said, "Daoist Jian Feng, here are a few good healing elixirs. Quickly take them."
Ye Kong gave him the healing elixirs of the Blood Pill Devil Sect, which were given to him by the third elder, Zi Ling. Jian Feng was loyal and honest. Ye Kong was also very generous. Not only did he have elixirs, but he also had some Spirit Stones in the bag.
Jian Feng took the storage bag and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the blood elixirs inside. He had never seen such elixirs before, and it clearly had a strong smell of blood. However, the elixirs were extremely rich in Spirit Qi. One look and one could tell that they were rare supreme-grade elixirs.
"I can't, I can't." Jian Feng hurriedly declined.
Ye Kong waved his hand. "Daoist Jian Feng needs it now. Why can't I? Also, quickly take the elixirs. You can immediately lead us to where the Sound Wood is. To be honest, the Sound Wood is very important to me."
Jian Feng nodded and took the elixirs. However, he returned the Spirit Stones and said, "I do need the elixirs, but I don't need the Spirit Stones. I haven't done anything, and I haven't even obtained a single Sound Wood Silkworm Queen. How can I accept the Spirit Stones? Isn't this ruining my reputation? "
"Ai, this information can also be sold for money." Ye Kong and Jian Feng tried to persuade each other. However, Jian Feng was unwilling to accept it no matter what. Thus, Ye Kong could only give up.
However, it could be seen that Jian Feng was an upright and straightforward person. Thus, Ye Kong had the intention to recruit him.
Immediately, Jian Feng ate the healing elixirs. After recovering for an hour, he couldn't wait to get up and lead the way.
Since the matter was urgent, no one said anything more. Although Jian Feng hadn't fully recovered, it was fine as long as he could lead the way. Later on, he could slowly recover.
The few of them left White Brow City and immediately took out the Flying Ark. Everyone boarded the Flying Ark and continued to fly west.
After a while, they saw a stone mountain below them. Ye Kong pointed at the small mountain and said, "Master, back then, we tried to summon Zixuan's soul from this mountain. That night was filled with danger, but fortunately, we succeeded in the end."
Cao Muse nodded, "You are a loyal person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have married my two disciples to you."
Indeed, if it was any other man, how many of them would dare to enter the Cangbei Devil Region to search for the Spirit Congealing Chalcedony? How many of them would risk their lives to protect Huang Zixuan's soul?
After passing the stone mountain, they arrived at the boundless Gobi Desert. It looked like a boundless plain, but the plain was covered with stones. There was no greenery and it was not suitable for plants to grow. It was very desolate.
Jian Feng said, "Everyone, don't be impatient. The Sound Wood and the Mother of Ice Silkworms are in the depths of the Desolate Land. There is still a long way to go. If they grew at the edge of the Desolate Land, I'm afraid they would have been harvested long ago."
The further they flew west, the more oddly-shaped rocks and sand were on the ground. Moreover, the chilly wind was stronger. When the whistling wind blew, it carried countless sand and rocks. The air was filled with sand and dust. Visibility was less than 100 meters.
Li Guanhua brought everyone back to the cabin and said, "This wind is called the Netherworld Wind. The locals call it the Black Wind. This is the first barrier to enter the Desolate Land. This Netherworld Wind not only contains countless sand and rocks, it also contains some Netherworld Qi. It is bone-piercing cold to prevent mortals from entering the Desolate Land. However, this Netherworld Wind does not pose any threat to cultivators. With a spiritual barrier, one can safely pass through it. "
Ye Kong nodded and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that the Desolate Land is not that dangerous."
Li Guanhua smiled and said, "How is it not dangerous? Previously, there was a senior who explored the Desolate Land for thousands of miles and wrote the famous Desolate Records. It recorded that the Desolate Land's barrier has nine paths and thirty-six layers. Each layer is more dangerous than the one before. Moreover, there are various kinds of Desolate Beasts as many as the hairs on a cow. Cultivators who are not powerful would not dare to enter. "
Jian Feng said again, "That is the depths of the Desolate Land. We do not need to worry. We are only less than a thousand miles into the Desolate Land. The Desolate Beasts in this area have long been slaughtered by cultivators. Therefore, there will not be any strange and powerful demonic beasts."
"Oh." Ye Kong nodded.
Cao Muse asked again, "Then what is in the depths of the Desolate Land? It has been so many years and no one has entered it. I am really curious. "
