In the blink of an eye, a week had already passed. At this moment, Xiao Yan had already rested for a week. The aura within his body had also rapidly recovered to its peak.
After leaving the mountain range, Xiao Yan headed south. This was because, according to what Sun Huo had said back at Cold Stream City, the so-called Desolate Ancient Remains was located at the border between the Xi Lin Mountain Range and the human territory. The Soul Gathering Fruit that Xiao Yan needed was located there.
After continuously traveling for a few days, Xiao Yan finally arrived before a city on the sixth day.
Sun Huo did not discuss the so-called Desolate Ancient Remains with Xiao Yan in detail. Therefore, Xiao Yan knew nothing about it. Thus, Xiao Yan could only place his hopes on some of the nearby cities. Perhaps he would be able to inquire about some information regarding the Desolate Ancient Remains here.
"Golden Mountain City."
Xiao Yan softly muttered. Wearing a black robe, he followed the flow of people around him and squeezed into the city.
Golden Mountain City could not be considered a large city. Thus, compared to other places, this Golden Mountain City appeared somewhat empty.
One could practically see the edges of this small city with a single glance. Of course, if one wanted to walk, it would likely take a couple of hours to cross this city.
The buildings within this city were indeed much simpler than other cities. Even the experts within this city could not be compared to other cities.
From Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception, the strongest person within this Golden Mountain City was only an advanced nine star Half Martial Emperor. The weakest was only a Dou Zun.
However, by the same logic, compared to other places, this place appeared to be much more peaceful. At the very least, Xiao Yan did not see many troublemakers along the way.
However, even though this was the case, it did not disturb Xiao Yan's current mood. On the contrary, the fragrance in the air and the cool breeze that came from the front caused Xiao Yan's body and mind to feel a wave of relaxation and satisfaction.
Of course, although a sparrow was small, it still had all its vital organs.
The city was small, but it didn't hide its prosperity. Even though it wasn't comparable to other cities, Xiao Yan still found the information he wanted.
After making some inquiries, Xiao Yan's heart involuntarily did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had searched all over the place to gather information, yet it appeared as though everyone knew about him when he arrived at this place. Each time he asked a passerby about the Desolate Ancient Remains, the passerby would use a strange expression to look at Xiao Yan. That expression caused Xiao Yan's entire body to feel uncomfortable.
After a couple of inquiries, Xiao Yan ended up being completely rebuffed. Although those passers-by were aware in their hearts, they did not appear to want to tell Xiao Yan the so-called secret that they knew without any benefit.
It was so much so that for the sake of obtaining benefits, several Half Martial Emperors surrounded Xiao Yan in the middle of the road. Every single one of them had a hungry wolf-like expression on their faces, and the smiles on their faces appeared incomparably sinister.
Finally, after Xiao Yan unleashed the aura of his strength, the few passers-by, who were merely one star Ban Di, hurriedly changed their attitude toward Xiao Yan with frightened faces. The expressions on their faces swiftly changed and turned into seductive ones. It was as though the matter from a moment ago had never happened.
At this moment, Xiao Yan involuntarily laughed coldly in his heart. These people were a group of people who used their strength to bully the weak. They were arrogant at first, then respectful. Just thinking about it made one laugh.
When they saw Xiao Yan's young appearance for the first time, the few Half Martial Emperors did not think much of it in their hearts. In their hearts, they naturally treated him as an ordinary young man. These experts who boasted of their great strength would naturally not mind suppressing such a person. Unfortunately, after witnessing Xiao Yan's true strength, this group of people finally understood just how frightening the strength of this young black robed man in front of them was.
After the few Half Martial Emperors carefully described it, Xiao Yan finally had a general understanding of the so-called Desolate Ancient Ruins in his heart.
The Desolate Ancient Ruins seemed to have been left behind by an elite Dou Di. As for the identity of that elite Dou Di, it was already impossible to find out until now. However, from what everyone knew, that elite Dou Di seemed to be an expert with an extremely powerful Spiritual Strength. As for whether he was an alchemist or a formation master, this was something that no one knew.
According to their understanding, the tomb contained all sorts of treasures. There was a large number of high tier medicinal pills, countless natural treasures, Dou Qi Methods, medicinal cauldrons for refining pills, high tier formation plates. These things that were extremely difficult to find in the outside world could be found everywhere in that tomb.
Moreover, according to what the few Half Martial Emperors had said, there was a Ling class Dou Skill in the tomb of that elite Dou Di. Even an elite Dou Di would be moved by a Dou Skill of that class.
Among all these treasures, the one that Xiao Yan was most concerned about was naturally the Soul Gathering Fruit.
According to the description of the few Half Martial Emperors in front of him, the thing with the highest value in the tomb of that elite Dou Di was the Soul Gathering Fruit that Xiao Yan needed. Moreover, due to the attraction of this Soul Gathering Fruit, it seemed that the four great clans under the Heavenly Sword Sect were coveting it. When the tomb opened, the four great clans would definitely not miss this opportunity.
After hearing this point, Xiao Yan's heart could not help but become solemn.
Although he had already secretly come to an agreement with the Bai clan, this was ultimately still an uncertain factor. Before he was certain, even Xiao Yan could not guarantee that the Bai clan would not attack him for the benefit of the various clans.
In this way, Xiao Yan would be in trouble. Currently, he could only hope that when the four great clans were in chaos, he would be able to quietly take advantage of them.
Of course, in that kind of situation, the four great clans would definitely dispatch elite Dou Di. As for whether he would have the opportunity to obtain the Soul Gathering Fruit, it was unknown at this moment.
However, it was fortunate that there were still three months before the opening of the Desolate Ancient Ruins. These three months were sufficient for Xiao Yan to make some preparations. Perhaps, Xiao Yan might be able to think of a good plan during this period of time. As for the matter of the ruins, he could only temporarily put it aside because …
After experiencing a couple of intense battles, the current Xiao Yan could already feel that his strength could increase by another step. His initial stage six star Half Martial Emperor strength had already reached its saturation point. He hoped that he could use the next three months to raise his initial stage six star Half Martial Emperor strength to the middle stage six star Half Martial Emperor strength.
Although the gap between them did not appear to be large, if they were to truly be placed on the battlefield, the effect that they would display would not be just a little bit. Regarding this point, although the gap between Half Martial Emperors was very small and not easy to see, if it were to be placed among Dou Di experts, the difference in strength could be said to be a difference of a thousand miles!
