With the cover of the invisible spirit gauze and the Aura Concealment Technique, Zhu Tiancé and Huo Ling’er successfully stole the Pegasus carriage from the stable.
Afterward, the two rode the Pegasus carriage all the way towards the Cang Mang Mountain Range in the Barren Domain, leaving the Fire Kingdom’s capital in a blink of an eye.
“It’s a good thing this princess knew that the guards at the stable’s back door were on patrol; otherwise, even with your invisible Precious Techniques, it wouldn’t have been easy for us to steal Father Emperor’s carriage.
How about it?
Isn’t this princess amazing?”
Huo Ling’er, leaving her father’s “supervision” for the first time, was exceptionally excited.
She kept gesticulating in the carriage, occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside, and then sometimes leaning close to Zhu Tiancé, blinking her dewy eyes, asking him what they would play in the Cang Mang Mountain Range later.
Zhu Tiancé didn’t know how to answer Huo Ling’er’s questions.
Because he was also very hesitant at this moment.
His original plan was to go directly to Stone Village to borrow the Original True Understanding, and while he was there, use the spirit liquid given by Han Li to establish a connection with Liu Shen.
The spirit liquid from the palm heaven bottle, also known as heavenly creation dew, contains the power of the law of time, and for those top-tier cultivators, it is an extremely precious tonic.
Even diluted spirit liquid could make countless low-level cultivators flock to it.
If he used this item to connect with Liu Shen, it would definitely attract Liu Shen’s attention.
At that time, borrowing the Original True Understanding for a look would certainly not be a problem.
Most importantly, he could also gain some favorability with Liu Shen, laying a solid foundation for potentially winning her over in the future.
In short, since Zhu Tiancé decided to go to Stone Village, he must have been prepared.
After all, how could he go to the woman’s family for the first time empty-handed?
However, ever since learning that the mountain treasure had already appeared, Zhu Tiancé felt hesitant.
As far as he knew, that mountain treasure was the inheritance of the Supreme Hall, which not only contained precious Precious Techniquess of some Primordial Remnants like the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, “Hou”, and “Luan Bird”, but also the Ten Ferocious Treasures Technique, Grass Character Sword Art.
These things, even if placed in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Upper Realm, would be treasures coveted by countless people.
Now that the inheritance was right before him, how could he not have any ideas?
“Oh, right, Zhu Tiancé, I heard Father Emperor say before that many Primordial Remnants are gathered in the Cang Mang Mountain Range, seemingly vying for a very powerful exotic treasure.
Even our Fire Kingdom’s Spirit of Sacrifice, Vermillion Bird, has gone.
“Hehe~!
If we can get that exotic treasure, I think Father Emperor will definitely look at us in a new light!”
While Zhu Tiancé was pondering, Huo Ling’er’s voice also reached his ears at the opportune moment.
These words were unintentional from Huo Ling’er, but when they reached Zhu Tiancé’s ears, they further solidified his desire to contend for the mountain treasure.
“Actually, it’s not impossible for us to get that exotic treasure, but we must plan it carefully…”
…A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality World.
At this moment, in a courtyard somewhere in the Chaotic Star Sea.
Han Li sat on a stone stool with a frown, his gaze fixed on the incomplete map of the Void Sky Hall on the table, a hint of worry in his eyes, looking preoccupied.
His mood was very complex right now.
Because just now, a Core Formation cultivator he knew came to find him.
The other party said he valued his attainments in formations and wanted to invite him to explore an ancient cultivator’s cave dwelling ruins together, with the benefits to be split equally afterward.
This was a perfectly normal matter.
If it had been before, he would never have thought much about it, at most he would have immediately prepared some life-saving escape artifacts, just in case.
But now, he hesitated.
“The time Jin Qing came to ask for my help is exactly the same as described in that A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality novel Daoist Zhu gave me.
It seems what is told in this novel is indeed what will happen to me in the future.”
“If that’s the case, the ancient cultivator ruins Jin Qing and his group found this time should be the trap set by that Old Man Xuan Gu for body snatching.”
“If I accept the invitation to explore those ruins, it will inevitably be as described in the novel: Qu Hun will be body-snatched by Old Man Xuan Gu, and I will also face extreme danger there.”
“Although Daoist Zhu said that after we learn our future, future events are very likely to change, this place is truly too dangerous, and I absolutely cannot go…”
After much deliberation, Han Li finally decided to abandon this expedition to the ruins.
Zhang Tie was a close friend he met in the Seven Mysteries Sect in his early years.
If the other party were to be body-snatched by that Old Man Xuan Gu on this trip, then he would rather not go to these ancient cultivator ruins.
As for Jin Qing, he had already kindly advised him during their previous conversation, hinting at not venturing into danger lightly.
However, the other party was very interested in the ancient cultivator’s cave dwelling and was unmoved by his advice, so he had no choice.
Han Li sighed heavily, then took the incomplete map of the Void Sky Hall into his hand, pondering to himself: “I can choose not to go to Xuan Gu’s cave, but there is a great opportunity for me in this Void Sky Hall.
If I don’t go, I’m afraid it will leave a heart demon…”
Within the Void Sky Hall, there are numerous treasures such as the void sky cauldron, heaven mending pill, nine-bend spirit ginseng, wolf-head jade ruyi, and Dry Blue Ice Flame.
These treasures would be of immense help to his future cultivation.
If he missed this opportunity, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Han Li was very eager to go to the Void Sky Hall dungeon.
However, he had read the novel and knew that the Void Sky Hall trip was fraught with powerful enemies.
Not to mention whether the body-snatching Old Man Xuan Gu would appear this time, just the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from both the righteous and demonic factions were beyond his ability to contend with.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to ask for help from people in the Chat Group.
It was precisely because of this that when Zhu Tiancé came to borrow the invisible spirit gauze and the Aura Concealment Technique earlier, he agreed so readily.
Although he didn’t understand the specific cultivation levels of Zhu Tiancé’s world, someone who could casually give out such powerful techniques as the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique surely wouldn’t be too weak.
Just as Han Li was calculating who to ask for help next, someone in the Chat Group suddenly @-mentioned him again.
He initially thought it was Zhu Tiancé returning his invisible spirit gauze.
However, after opening the Chat Group, he discovered that the person who @-mentioned him was actually Tang San, whom he disliked the most.
[Tang San: @Han Li, don’t think you’re so great just because you have that spirit liquid.
If we’re talking about spirit liquids and immortal herbs, I have plenty here too.]
After Tang San @-mentioned Han Li, he then sent several real-life pictures consecutively.
The real-life pictures in the Chat Group could display the most authentic side of an item.
Whether it was the medicinal spiritual energy of an immortal herb or the oppressive aura of a treasure, others could clearly feel it.
And what Tang San sent at this moment were some immortal-grade spirit herbs he had previously “taken” from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, including the spring water from the Yin Yang Twin Springs…
