Chapter 238: Do You Recognize This Object?
Just as he was about to infuse his internal power into the iron pick, the restraint shackles on his wrist emitted a bright light.
The power he channeled into the iron pick significantly decreased, and with one strike, he only managed to break some rubble, failing to extract any Demon Spirit Ore.
Ruan Yong’an frowned tightly; the restrictions from the restraint shackles made this task far easier than mining in the Ziying Mine.
However, noticing Ji Yang’s unaffected demeanor made Ruan Yong’an feel a twinge of admiration.
Junior Brother Ji, as always.
…
He Dao Sect.
After listening to the message from the messaging talisman, Li Daoyi frowned slightly and quickly left the main hall of He Dao Sect, heading towards Jingtan Peak.
As he neared Jingtan Peak, Li Daoyi scratched his head in confusion, looking at the spiritual grains spreading across the hills.
He was sure he hadn’t taken a wrong turn; when did He Dao Sect open new spiritual fields?
After carefully surveying the area, he finally spotted the familiar buildings at the top of Jingtan Peak, confirming he hadn’t gone astray.
When Li Daoyi landed at the peak, he found Ye Wuchen standing silently in front of several thatched houses.
Seeing this, Li Daoyi observed closely and then asked in confusion,
“Peak Master Ye, I thought there should be several wooden houses here?”
Hearing Li Daoyi’s words, Ye Wuchen turned his head and replied,
“The Sect Master may have remembered incorrectly.”
Li Daoyi looked bewildered. Did he really make a mistake?
He distinctly recalled several wooden houses in this spot. How had only two remained?
If he wasn’t mistaken, these wooden houses seemed to have been passed down from Ye Wuchen’s Master.
Back when he became the Sect Master, he told Ye Wuchen to tear them down and build some grand structures; after all, he was the master of a peak, but Ye Wuchen gently refused, saying this was good enough.
Unexpectedly, they were still dismantled now.
Li Daoyi nodded, not dwelling too much on it; it was a good thing to have them removed.
Then, recalling his purpose for coming, Li Daoyi promptly spoke,
“Peak Master Ye, regarding Ji Yang…”
After Li Daoyi finished recounting the situation, he looked at Ye Wuchen.
Ordinary disciples wouldn’t warrant his personal attention, but Ji Yang was different. His displayed talent was notable enough to draw his concern.
So, upon receiving news of Ji Yang’s capture, he came right away.
However, after hearing Li Daoyi, Ye Wuchen simply clasped his hands together and said,
“The Sect Master need not worry; that rebellious disciple knows how to handle himself!”
“Uh… Alright then!”
Seeing Ye Wuchen respond like this, Li Daoyi didn’t press the matter further and turned to leave Jingtan Peak.
After Li Daoyi left, Ye Wuchen quietly gazed at the peak top, which now had two fewer wooden houses, his expression unchanged.
Little Black and Little White, who had been staying atop the peak for many years, were now busy working in the spiritual field.
There was no other reason; they simply loved farming!
Even the remaining Golden Valiant Warriors had settled by the Clear Pond at the foot of Jingtan Peak, fishing.
As they fished, one shook his head and said,
“Kid, I warned you long ago.”
At this moment, Ji Yang was completely unaware, still engrossed in mining.
…
Qingsuo City.
This city was not far from He Dao Sect and was protected by it, making it one of the larger markets nearby.
The market was bustling with people, including quite a few high-level cultivators.
Among them, aside from the cultivators from He Dao Sect, there were many outsiders, making for quite a mix of good and bad.
Niu Yan was wandering through Qingsuo City, glancing at the shops on either side, then shaking his head slightly.
As he looked around, he continuously commented aloud:
“Not worth looking at!”
“Not bad!”
“Terrible taste!”
…
Just as he was about to find a shop to browse, he suddenly heard a low voice nearby:
“Fairy garments, would you like some?”
Hearing this, Niu Yan’s expression tightened, and he then chuckled to himself,
“What does Niu Yan have to do with such things? I am a gentleman; how could I be interested in these items?”
After laughing, he noticed the person who had whispered turn and head towards a small alley.
Seeing this, Niu Yan glanced around to ensure no one was paying attention and quickly followed.
He was just curious; it wouldn’t hurt to see what was up.
When Niu Yan turned the corner and looked into the alley, there was no one in sight, causing him to feel puzzled:
“Where did they go?”
Niu Yan quickened his pace into the alley.
But as soon as he stepped inside, the surroundings rapidly changed. The original stone walls transformed into layers of blurred colors. Realizing something was off, Niu Yan exclaimed,
“Formations!”
He quickly attempted to exit the alley.
But it was too late; in the next moment, Niu Yan felt dizzy in his mind and fell unconscious.
After Niu Yan collapsed, the person who had whispered earlier sneered and vanished into the alley with him.
“Miss, it’s this person!”
When Niu Yan woke up, he immediately heard a few people whispering nearby. Realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly reached for his storage bag at his waist, only to find it empty.
When Niu Yan looked up at his surroundings, he saw several cultivators, their faces obscured, surrounding him.
“Who are you? Do you know I am a disciple of He Dao Sect?”
“This is Qingsuo City; He Dao Sect will not let you off!”
Niu Yan shouted fiercely, but as he sensed the blurry levels of cultivation around him, his face turned pale.
Though he was at the Golden Core Stage, he could not see through these people’s cultivation levels, indicating that they were much stronger than him.
Niu Yan racked his brain, trying to remember if he had offended these unknown cultivators.
After thinking for a while, he remained puzzled.
He spent most of his time in the sect and rarely ventured out, so how could he have provoked anyone?
Before he could contemplate further, the surrounding cultivators parted, revealing a beautiful girl before him.
Even with the danger looming, Niu Yan couldn’t help but entertain thoughts upon seeing her face.
But in the next moment, he sensed something was wrong and quickly steadied his mind.
This girl had extraordinary Techniques; just one glance could captivate his heart—extremely dangerous!
“Do you recognize this?”
In an instant, the girl held out an item towards Niu Yan and asked.
Her voice was cold, like the winter snow.
Looking at the item in the girl’s hand, Niu Yan felt a pang of anxiety.
Wasn’t that the fragment of the magical tool he had received from Senior Brother Ji at Tianxing Lake?
It would be a stretch to call it a fragment of the magical tool; it would be more accurate to say it was a piece of clothing!
Niu Yan immediately understood the situation, but he hadn’t expected these people to come for that item.
It seemed there were many like-minded individuals!
However, Niu Yan soon sensed something else—because the aroma from the girl seemed somewhat similar to that of the clothing, but it was not that he was a pervert; it was just that unique fragrance made from rare herbs, one of a kind.
“I don’t know it!”
Niu Yan quickly replied, keeping his expression calm.
“Just kill him!”
The girl did not ask further and simply said lightly.
Her words made Niu Yan’s face turn pale with panic, and he hastily corrected himself:
“I know it, I know it!”
