A bronze pot appeared in front of Bai Feng.
He stretched out his hands and caught the floating pot. Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
He was not unfamiliar with the Distant Sky Illusory Mist.
The bronze pot in his hand did not look big, but if he wanted to fill it with water from the Distant Sky Illusory Mist, he would need a lot of it.
It would probably take a long time to collect so much Distant Sky Illusory Fog from the market of the Mortal World through purchasing, trading, and other methods.
If he wanted to find a large amount of pure Distant Sky Illusory Mist in a short period of time, he could only think of one place.
One of the Five Holy Lands of the Righteous Path, the Northernmost Lake.
The Distant Sky Illusory Mist in the Mortal World was almost all produced in the area controlled by the Northernmost Lake.
Only the Northernmost Lake had accumulated enough channels and manpower over the years to collect such treasures on a large scale …
According to what Mystic Four had said, this place was called the Star Palace.
Why did the mysterious master of the Star Palace want him to collect Distant Sky Illusory Mist?
Was it really just a test for him, or was it inconvenient for the master to collect Distant Sky Illusory Mist himself?
With the strength that the master had displayed, it should not be difficult for him.
But if it was a test for him, Bai Feng, the question really made him hesitate.
The Northernmost Lake did not have a harmonious relationship with his sect, the Northern Sea Yan Ran Mountain.
The two sides were neighbors, one righteous and the other evil.
For a direct disciple of Yan Ran Mountain to deal with the Northernmost Lake and obtain large amounts of Distant Sky Illusory Mist, it would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.
If he wanted to succeed, he could only plot in secret and use underhanded methods …
But from the looks of it, it did not seem like the elders of the sect were secretly testing him.
Although the relationship between the Northern Sea Yan Ran Mountain and the Northernmost Lake was not good, and there were often conflicts, but in recent years, both sides had restrained themselves and barely minded their own business.
The Northernmost Lake had always been low-key, and the master of the lake, Heavenly King Zhang Weiyu, had been in seclusion in recent years, so the disciples of the lake rarely came out.
As a direct disciple of the Northern Sea Yan Ran Mountain, Bai Feng knew a lot about the decisions of the sect. He knew that the sect's focus was on the south, and that they needed to make use of the Sky River Sword Immortal's injuries.
Under such circumstances, the Yan Ran Mountain would not provoke the lake for no reason and make more enemies for no reason.
Now, he, a direct disciple of Yan Ran Mountain, went to the Heavenly Lake to search for a large amount of Distant Sky Illusory Mist. It seemed more like he was the enemy of Yan Ran Mountain, stirring up trouble in the dark and making more enemies for Yan Ran Mountain.
Of course, it was also possible that his sect was testing him.
But that would be too bad, because it would reveal serious distrust.
Just as Bai Feng was feeling uneasy, the Star Palace Master's deep and dignified voice rang out again, "The time limit is one month."
"… Junior will definitely do his best." Bai Feng took a deep breath, put away the bronze pot, and bowed to the dark void.
Then, as the light and shadow before his eyes changed, the scene changed again.
When his vision returned to normal, he returned to the real world of the Mortal World. The scenery in front of him was still the same as before, as if everything that had happened was just a dream.
But the bronze pot told him that it wasn't a dream.
He had indeed inexplicably become Xuan Five of the so-called "Star Palace".
Bai Feng stood on the spot with a gloomy expression.
He was seriously considering whether or not he should report what had just happened to the elders of his sect.
What Xuan Four had said earlier was a hidden threat. Those who voluntarily leaked the secret would not have a good ending.
In this regard, Bai Feng was actually only taking it as a reference and didn't believe it completely.
But the contents of this mission really made him feel uneasy.
What should he do?
Right, there was also the red-clothed woman who was investigating the true cause of Yang Bin's death …
If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the "Scarlet Asura" Han Mei who had risen to fame in the Mortal World in the past two years.
Whether it was himself or Yang Bin, they should have never had any dealings with her before.
Why did she investigate Yang Bin's death?
Was she instructed by someone?
Could it be related to the Star Palace Master?
The two matters were too close, and it was hard for Bai Feng not to make a connection.
This made his heart tremble.
Did the other party already know the truth about him killing Yang Bin?
Was this a warning from the other party?
Bai Feng seriously thought about it. If he reported this matter to the elders of his sect, would it count as a merit?
If the other party became angry and exposed the matter of him killing Yang Bin, would the other elders of the sect help him withstand the anger of the sect's elder, Yang Bin's grandfather?
But if that was the case, then this so-called "Star Palace" seemed to really exist, and not a test from Yan Ran Mountain.
Thinking about Han Mei's deeds, Bai Feng's heart slightly warmed.
The other party had actually reached the peak of the fifteenth realm, Emperor Wu, just like him.
From what he knew, this Han Mei should only be around twenty years old.
To reach the fifteenth realm at such a young age, even if she came from a holy land, although this was a result that only a few people could achieve, it was at least a normal situation in every era.
But for a lone ranger, it was very rare for him to not have a powerful sect to back him up.
Just what had supported her to reach this step?
Could it be this Star Palace Master?
If this Star Palace Master's promise was true, then the rewards he could provide would really be very tempting.
Bai Feng fell into deep thought.
He was one of the more outstanding people in the younger generation of Yan Ran Mountain.
But there was still a small group of people above him.
The rarest and most precious resources of the sect would always be given to that small group of people.
As time went on, the stronger the experts became, the greater the gap between them would become.
In the end, the gap between the two sides would be fixed, an invisible chasm that could never be crossed.
To Bai Feng, becoming a Martial Sage was considered a success, and the seventeenth realm might be his limit.
As for the other party, they would charge towards the eighteenth realm, or even challenge higher realms.
After becoming a Martial Sage, a cultivator's lifespan would increase greatly.
But for cultivators to raise their cultivation, they needed to advance bravely. Ten thousand years was too long, and they needed to seize every moment.
Newborns' drive was the most important. Once that drive was lost, one's cultivation would stagnate, and it would be extremely difficult to improve further. It could only be obtained through great fortuitous encounters. The higher one's cultivation, the more difficult it was.
Many experts would stagnate for hundreds or even thousands of years after reaching a peak. This was very common in history.
Those who matured late were extremely rare. Compared to the total number, they were almost negligible.
There were often people who accumulated a lot, but most of them appeared when one's cultivation was rapidly growing. When one's potential was exhausted, it would no longer be as good.
Bai Feng walked alone, not saying a word.
The master of the Star Palace might be very strong.
Perhaps when he was about to report to the elders of the sect, the other party would kill him first.
But this was not what he minded the most.
He was more concerned about what he could get from the other party.
He had something he had to do.
Previously, he felt that his hope was getting slimmer, but now, there seemed to be light in front of him.
After thinking for a while, Bai Feng calmed his thoughts.
He had to look at the situation on Han Mei's side first.
Chen Luoyang's clone, Daoist Half Sea, watched Bai Feng leave with a smile.
He naturally had a use for Bai Feng to find the Distant Sky Illusory Mist.
The main reason was that mysterious Xian Tian Palace disciple, Ji Zhong.
Ji Zhong's situation was very special, and it might be related to the next big move of Xian Tian Palace's You Hao, Nie Guanhe, and the others.
Chen Luoyang naturally wouldn't let this matter go.
He even suspected that the other mastermind of the Xian Tian Palace's rebellion, the Southern Chu Dynasty's Little Marquis Cheng Yingtian, was also waiting for the second half of the Xian Tian Palace.
When the big show began, if Ji Zhong was really the key, he would definitely be heavily guarded by the Xian Tian Palace.
Although Chen Luoyang could use the "treehouse" to take him away, what if Ji Zhong had to be present at the time?
This required planning ahead of time and making more preparations.
The Distant Sky Illusory Mist he wanted Bai Feng to find was for this.
Whether it was the Northern Sea's Yan Ran Mountain or the Extreme North Lake, they didn't have much contact with the Xian Tian Palace.
If Bai Feng went to find the Distant Sky Illusory Mist, it wouldn't be easy for the Xian Tian Palace's people to notice.
As for the conflict between the Yan Ran Mountain and the Extreme North Lake, it was just a side effect.
As long as the Heavenly Lake Master didn't come out, the two sides wouldn't fight.
If the Heavenly Lake Master really came out, Chen Luoyang would coordinate in the dark.
Bai Feng was sandwiched between the Extreme North Lake and the Northern Sea's Yan Ran Mountain. The relationship between the three sides was a little strange, he probably didn't even realize it …
Daoist Half Sea stayed in the Northern Sea's Yan Ran Mountain and observed Bai Feng and Han Mei for a period of time.
Han Mei didn't have any expectations. She successfully found out the real cause of Yang Bin's death and the culprit was Bai Feng.
However, she didn't intend to investigate further. She just wanted to report to Chen Luoyang.
After she left, Bai Feng seemed to have made a decision. He left the Yan Ran Mountain and went to the Heavenly Lake's territory.
When Chen Luoyang's clone, Daoist Half Sea, saw this, he also left the Yan Ran Mountain.
His next destination was the Dongzhou Dynasty.
However, he didn't go to the Dongzhou Dynasty.
To be precise, it had nothing to do with the Dongzhou Dynasty itself.
His goal was the East Sea in the Dongzhou Dynasty.
After arriving at the seaside, Daoist Half Sea's clone dived into the sea.
He searched carefully at the bottom of the sea. After spending a lot of time, he finally found an inconspicuous underwater cave.
After entering the cave, Daoist Half Sea nodded.
There were traces of others exploring this place before, and they had come more than once.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the place where Han Mei said she had touched the "skeleton".
Bai Yuping couldn't find any information about Han Mei, but it could find information about Han Zheng.
After hearing about the "skeleton" from Han Mei, Chen Luoyang carefully checked the detailed information about Han Zheng's life that Bai Yuping provided.
A piece of information that seemed inconspicuous at first attracted Chen Luoyang's attention.
Miss Han had once accompanied her younger sister to this place.
Thinking about it, Han Mei also felt that something was wrong. She talked to her sister about the previous encounter, and the two sisters returned to the place where she had touched the skeleton.
However, it seemed that they didn't find anything.
Chen Luoyang's clone, Daoist Half Sea, wasn't discouraged. He carefully checked the place with his eyes.
