Thousands of kilometers away from the Black Dragon City, on a desolate land, a few black figures were moving forward at a moderate speed.
As the figures in front stopped, everyone else stopped as well.
"We've been traveling for a long time. Let's rest for a day and continue," Gu Zheng said to the people behind him.
"Okay, I'm exhausted." Yingshao, who was lying on Xiao Ye's back, immediately perked up.
They stopped at a flat area below. After traveling for such a long time, Yingshao, who was sitting on top, was exhausted. Even Xiao Ye, who had not stopped at all, was showing signs of fatigue.
However, the three little fellows had grown up a little. When they were tired, they would return to Xiao Ye's back to rest. When they had the energy, they would fly with them, so they didn't feel bored along the way.
Originally, according to Gu Zheng's plan, he was going to fly them over directly. However, the ring needed to be refined by Gu Zheng, so he slowed down his speed.
Since he couldn't release Zi Yi, he could only wear the ring. Otherwise, he wouldn't go over. Even that woman couldn't pass through. The Illusory Demonic Array had nothing to do with cultivation. It was to prevent you from forcefully passing through. At that time, the Black Dragon had prevented both sides from destroying it.
Unless you were a Quasi-Sage, you couldn't pass through.
The Primordial Black Dragon had the cultivation of a Sage-to-be. Even now, the restriction was still working.
The place of worship was also the furthest place that they could pass through. No one had ever returned from the furthest north.
However, his refining speed was too slow. He couldn't speed it up even if he wanted to. He could only restrain himself and refine it bit by bit.
At this speed, it would probably take a month to refine it completely.
"Young Master, come and eat something!" Luo Xin had already laid out some simple food and Yingshao had already started eating.
"You guys eat first. I'll check the surroundings!" Gu Zheng waved his hand at Yingshao and walked outside.
"They won't eat, but we will. Sister Luo Xin, you should eat too." Beside Yingshao was a small bird that looked at the item in her hand. Although they were very naughty, after being taught a few lessons by Gu Zheng, they finally learned some rules and were not as naughty as before.
"You eat first. I want a place to rest. Don't tell me you want to sleep outside and be bitten by insects!" Luo Xin continued to take out caves. Her hands did not stop moving as she replied to Yingshao.
"Alright!" When Yingshao heard this, her body trembled. Thinking about those disgusting bugs, which were completely different from the ones in the water, she felt a chill run down her spine.
After waiting for a while, she saw that they were all busy. Even Big Sister Xiao Ye was lying on the side to rest. She secretly took out a few pills from her bosom. Lil 'Red and the others' eyes lit up. They stopped calling out and stared straight at her hand.
"Be quiet, don't be discovered." Yingshao gave each of the little birds a pill and instructed them.
Gu Zheng strictly forbade her from giving them these pills. He didn't want her to spoil their growth by excessive enthusiasm. However, every time Yingshao saw their gazes, she couldn't help but take out some pills similar to the ones Gu Zheng gave her from her own treasure trove and give them to them in private.
While they were resting, Gu Zheng also patrolled outside. According to his divine sense, within a certain range, other than some small animals, there wasn't a single creature that was slightly powerful.
Even someone as weak as Lian Yingshao could dominate a pond given to her.
However, what made Gu Zheng somewhat suspicious was that he always felt that someone was spying on them. During the half a month since they left Black Dragon City, the spying was faintly discernible. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the other party.
At first, he suspected that it was the woman who didn't leave her name. However, after thinking about it, if she really wanted to follow him, with her cultivation, he wouldn't be able to sense her.
After Gu Zheng circled around and saw that the sky was getting dark, he returned to the temporary camp.
At this time, a bright bonfire had been lit, and some insect repellent powder was scattered around. He looked at Yingshao, who was playing on the side. All of this was done by Luo Xin. At this time, she was boiling some water to wash the little birds.
Gu Zheng saw with his own eyes that Luo Xin, who was like a delicate girl, was now like a nanny. If it weren't for her, he would've been annoyed to death by Yingshao. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought her along.
However, when he thought about how she was Zi Yi's junior, and how she had helped him save Elder Ye, he sighed in his heart. Zi Yi had helped him a lot last time. If not for her, he might still be trapped down there. Moreover, she trusted him so much, so he just treated it as helping her junior.
However, Luo Xin had also seen the change in the other party. He was not a ruthless person. From the beginning, the other party was unwilling to accept his fate, slowly accepting his fate. Now, the other party was completely loyal to him. Luo Xin knew very well.
"Luo Xin, put down the things in your hands and call Xiao Ye back. And Yingshao, stop playing around. Today, I'll show you what I've got!" Gu Zheng said to them with a chuckle.
Luo Xin looked at Gu Zheng strangely, then walked out. Xiao Ye disliked the noise and ran to the other side.
"What is it?" Yingshao heard Gu Zheng's words and immediately ran over with interest.
"I'll cook a pot of soup for you and let you eat to your heart's content!" Gu Zheng placed simple tools on the ground. After fiddling with the bonfire in front of him for a while, a very ordinary jar was hung on top of it.
"Can this be cooked?" Yingshao looked at the thick jar and said with uncertainty.
"Of course it can. Don't worry, in just a moment, I'll let you know what is delicious." Gu Zheng laughed and poured some of the natural spiritual water and spring water he had stored. Then, he quickly cut a few common vegetables into thin layers and threw them in.
"What are these?" The sharp-eyed people saw different things being thrown in one after another. They knew and didn't know. The small jar blocked the way and was quickly filled to the brim.
"You don't need to know. You only need to wait quietly!" Gu Zheng didn't explain too much. He took out some precious materials and put them in bit by bit.
After waiting for a while, the jar had just warmed up. A bit of steam came out from it. Luo Xin had already brought Xiao Ye back.
"Young Master, how long do we have to wait?" Yingshao said with disappointment.
"Don't be anxious. Only by doing this can you fully release it. Open your eyes and watch carefully!" Gu Zheng chuckled when he saw them huddled together. Then, a ball of flame rose from his palm and pressed against the mouth of the jar.
In just an instant, the water in the jar boiled. Before the water droplets could splash out, they were blocked by the palm.
Everyone looked at the jar without blinking. They knew that the temperature in the jar couldn't hurt Gu Zheng.
In just three short breaths, Gu Zheng's palm moved away from the jar. A wave of hot air rushed out from the jar.
"I miss it so much!" Yingshao couldn't help but take a deep breath. She looked at the jar and murmured.
Not only her, but the others were also immersed in the delicious fragrance.
Although there was a lot of steam coming out, the water inside seemed to be endless. It was still boiling. Very soon, the steam in the jar continued to spread in all directions.
"Don't move, I'll give it to you!" Gu Zheng waved his hand, and bowls of different sizes appeared in front of everyone. They were all made of red porcelain, but the one in front of Xiao Ye was the largest.
Gu Zheng willed it, and the soup in the jar automatically flew out and filled the bowls in front of everyone.
"No one can only drink what's in front of them. The rest can be drunk next time!" Gu Zheng sealed the jar and kept it.
"That's all!" Yingshao said regretfully when she saw that there was less than half a bowl.
"A little taste is good for all of you. Rest after you're done!" Gu Zheng clapped his hands and left. He strolled around the place as if he was taking a stroll.
Yingshao looked around and saw that Luo Xin's bowl was about the same as hers. The three little birds beside her had even less. Only Xiao Ye had the most, which was several times more than the rest.
"I really can't bear to part with it!" Yingshao smelled the tempting fragrance. However, when she saw how little it was, she felt heartache.
"Ji ji!"
However, the little birds beside her couldn't stand it anymore and started pecking with their beaks. Excited and comfortable sounds were emitted from their beaks.
Moreover, Luo Xin had already started drinking. Yingshao couldn't help but pick up the bowl. She originally wanted to drink it in one gulp, but when she recalled Gu Zheng's words, she slowed down and poured the soup into her mouth.
"Oh!"
As soon as the soup entered her mouth, Yingshao's eyes widened. An unprecedented feeling appeared in her heart. At this moment, she felt that what she was drinking wasn't soup, but the most delicious thing in the world. Especially those things that were put in beforehand. Under the gentle grinding of her lips and teeth, that smooth feeling, that slow release of taste, there was only one thought in her mind.
"It's too delicious!"
After all the food entered her stomach, she felt as if a few years had passed. She even had the urge to ask her young master for more.
However, when she looked around, her young master had already disappeared. The bonfire was also empty, making her feel lost.
Not only her, the others were the same. They were still immersed in that beautiful state. Other than Xiao Ye, everyone had finished drinking.
Suddenly, Yingshao felt a wave of heat rising from within her body. It was spreading out from her body.
While she was in a daze, she saw Gu Zheng waving at her. In front of him, there was a small pond. She slowly walked towards it and fell into the pond. She transformed back into her original form and fell into a deep sleep.
Ten days later, everyone woke up from their coma one after another and found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
Gu Zheng stood not far in front of them and looked carefully. There was a huge mountain range in front of them. Many of them were hidden in the clouds in the sky, making it impossible to see the peak.
That line of peaks extended down from one of the mountain peaks, and the black wind also rushed down, making it impossible to know where the source was. No one was able to go up to this seemingly simple mountain peak.
Yingshao was the last to wake up. She found herself in the pond in a daze. She felt the aura outside and immediately jumped out of the pond.
"Thank you for your help, young master. In the future, I, Luo Xin, will help you even more seriously!" Luo Xin was talking to Gu Zheng when those words entered her ears.
"That's not necessary. You just have to take good care of Yingshao. When my friends come out, I will definitely give you an even better revenge." Gu Zheng's voice also came along with the wind.
"What's going on? Why are we here in the blink of an eye? "Yingshao walked over and asked curiously.
"Look at your cultivation and you will know. No wonder young master didn't let us drink too much!" Luo Xin looked back and said with a smile. She was obviously in a good mood.
"Really? I am already rank five. How did it happen so fast? If I drink more, will I become an immortal immediately?" Yingshao checked herself and suddenly said in surprise. Then, she looked to the side.
Not only her, even Luo Xin was already rank five. Even Xiao Ye's body had grown bigger.
"Zhi Zhi"
An excited voice came from the sky. A gust of wind flew towards Yingshao.
"Xiao Lan! Don't! " Yingshao also shouted happily as she turned around. However, she saw a big bird about the same size as her falling from the sky. Those familiar feathers made her recognize that it was Xiao Lan. However, why did it look so scary when it jumped into her arms from the sky? She immediately screamed.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Lan did not hear it at all. She still wanted to be hugged by Yingshao like before. However, she ignored the fact that her body had suddenly grown bigger. The huge force was not something Yingshao could handle. The two of them instantly rolled on the ground. Luo Xin was so scared that she immediately rushed over to check if they were okay.
Not only Xiao Lan, the other little birds had also grown a lot. They were at least half of Xiao Ye's size. However, for some reason, the other two colors on their tails were getting dimmer and dimmer. Instead, the colors on their tails were getting brighter.
"You all rest here for a few more days. After this, we will go in directly." Gu Zheng held a white crystal in his hand. After he imbued it with his immortal power, a faint feeling appeared in his heart. It seemed to be guiding him forward. However, because they were still quite far from the mountain, the guidance was not very clear.
At this time, Gu Zheng only needed a few more days to completely refine the ring. The only thing that worried him was that when they left the encampment, he did not use the fragrance to detect the hidden enemy. When he touched the little thing he left behind, he realized that someone was indeed watching him.
However, he might have noticed the other party. After some time, the feeling of being watched disappeared. However, Gu Zheng was sure that the other party was still watching him and following behind him. The only thing that made Gu Zheng feel relieved was that the other party's strength was not as strong as his. They had not even reached the peak. Otherwise, the other party would have come out to test him.
In a flash, a few days passed. Gu Zheng led them towards the mountain peak and started to move.
Because of the distance, Yingshao and the others were nervous for nothing. When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, except for Luo Xin, the others felt that the danger ahead was not very high.
The mountain peak was clearly just in front of them. It looked no different from the outside. However, Gu Zheng felt a faint sense of danger in his heart. It was as if he was facing some kind of flood or ferocious beast.
Shaking his head, he got rid of the bad feeling in his heart. Then, he took out the white crystal and carefully closed his eyes to sense it.
"This should be the way!" Gu Zheng took a deep breath and looked at a mountain peak in the distance. The instruction given to him was to advance from the side of the mountain. If he continued forward, he would need to reach that place himself before he could sense the rest of the journey.
"You little guys come in." Gu Zheng said while avoiding Xiao Lan and the others.
They nodded in understanding. Then, four streams of light entered Gu Zheng's waist.
Now that Gu Zheng had completely released the restriction, the other party could take the initiative to come out. Because they were afraid of any accident, they could help from the side.
Then, Gu Zheng walked in with the two people who were only holding on to Gu Zheng's leg.
Little did they know that when they entered the mountain peak, their figures had disappeared from the outside. At the same time, in a very distant place, a black shadow began to accelerate towards this side.
"The dignity of the Lord cannot be trampled on. All those who want to take away their things must die!"
Soon, his figure rushed in from another place and disappeared as well.
Gu Zheng frowned as soon as he came in. Because a thick gray fog suddenly appeared in front of them. They could only see a distance of several hundred feet in front of them. Beyond that, they could only see fluttering balls. Even their divine sense was greatly compressed.
However, this fog did not have any other effect. It seemed to be to prevent them from entering here. It did not harm their bodies.
Although this was the outside, and no one said that there was a threat here, Gu Zheng was not careless at all. He even wanted to put the two of them in now.
However, although they were a little frightened, they followed Gu Zheng closely without any intention of going in. Gu Zheng also slowed down. After all, they were in the outer area. He wanted to let them feel it. If they did not allow it, he would forcibly put them in.
A beam of light rose up, but Gu Zheng discovered that the gray fog seemed to ignore it. It continued to stay by his side, blocking his vision. He could only withdraw his barrier.
However, with so much gray fog, Gu Zheng lost his direction after walking for half a day. Although he felt that he was going in the right direction and was moving towards the mountain peak, he still felt that he was going a little astray.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the crystal again. After sensing it a little, he found that the feeling it gave him was different from before.
With a turn of his body, Gu Zheng moved in the direction of the new feeling. In order to prevent being disturbed again, Gu Zheng held the crystal in the palm of his hand so that it could sense his position at any time.
However, after half a day, Gu Zheng suddenly discovered that he had passed through the gray fog as he felt a cool breeze in front of him.
"Where are we? Have we arrived? "Yingshao looked around in confusion and asked.
"We turned around again!" Gu Zheng said helplessly. This was the place where they had just entered.
The crystal had gone in a big circle and brought them back.
