Chapter 437: The Mountains and the Earth

Before leaving, Jiang Yun left all five demon beasts in Xiao Village.

Even though in the past six months, Mu Village did not bother them anymore, and even when Li Village merged into Xiao Village, they showed no reaction, Jiang Yun still had to be cautious.

…

The address of Hundred Family Bazaar was chosen in the center of The Land of a Hundred Families, almost ten thousand miles away from Xiao Village.

Even with everyone at the strength of Blessed Land Realm, it took two days to arrive.

Initially, Jiang Yun thought Hundred Family Bazaar was just a gathering of people from a hundred different tribes, each tribe occupying a designated area to sell their items on simple stalls.

But now, seeing it with his own eyes, he realized he had underestimated the bazaar.

What Jiang Yun saw in front of him was a vast open space with over a hundred stone houses scattered around.

Although not a city, if a wall was built around this space, it could easily pass for a small city!

While the styles of the hundred stone houses were similar, each one had a different pattern painted on its exterior walls.

Clearly, each pattern represented a different tribe.

Also, each stone house has a different height and position.

The tallest stone house, reaching tens of meters high in the center, is decorated with a tree pattern.

The tree represents wood and nature, and this stone house belongs to Mu village.

"Master Jiang, this is the Hundred Family Bazarr!"

Xiao Wangjie spoke to Jiang Yun, "This place used to be much simpler, but after all these years, it has become much more prosperous!"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Do the different heights and positions of these stone houses represent the different statuses of corresponding clans in The Land of a Hundred Families?"

Upon hearing this, even Li Yue glanced at Jiang Yun with a hint of surprise.

Because Jiang Yun was right!

Initially, they thought that although Jiang Yun was powerful, his experience must be lacking due to his young age.

But they didn’t expect Jiang Yun’s keen eyes to spot the significance behind the arrangement of these stone houses at a glance.

"Well done!"

Xiao Wangjie pointed to a small stone house nearby, saying, "That’s our stone house, only about two yards high."

Jiang Yun examined the stone house carefully.

It was one of the shortest among all the stone houses, and located in a very remote area.

From this, one could tell that Xiao Village’s status in The Land of a Hundred Families was not the lowest, but also not very high.

However, Jiang Yun also noticed that the patterns on the outer wall of this stone house depicted a yellow piece of land.

Although Jiang Yun had become a worshipper of Xiao Village and had stayed there for almost half a year, he knew nothing about the cultivation techniques they practiced.

After all, this was the privacy of each clan, and he had never inquired about it.

But now, seeing this big map and remembering when Xiao Wangjie attacked him, causing a big earthquake and rumbling sound.

This made him wonder, "Could the cultivation techniques in Xiao Village be related to the power of the earth?"

"If that’s true, then when I go back, I should find a chance to borrow their techniques to study!"

Jiang Yun’s physical body can manipulate some earth power, but his true self still cannot.

If the Xiao family can truly control the earth power, their techniques might give him some inspiration and help.

At that moment, Li Yue also pointed to another stone house, saying, "Master Jiang, that one is ours!"

The stone houses in Li Village were noticeably taller than those in Xiao Village, and well-located. The patterns on the outer walls depicted a big mountain.

"Big mountain, big earth!"

As Jiang Yun pondered over the two different patterns and looked thoughtfully at Li Yue.

Li Yue always wanted to take over Xiao Village, and now that he is part of Xiao Village, he doesn’t seem to mind. Maybe it’s because he’s interested in the practices of Xiao Village?

After all, mountains rise from the ground, and both Li Yue and Xiao Village belong to the same element. They are connected in some way.

The Ancient Grand Desolate World doesn’t have martial sects, only family groups. To gain more skills, the easiest way is to conquer and assimilate other groups.

Although Jiang Yun thought about these things, he didn’t show any emotion on his face. He calmly said, "You go ahead and be busy, I’ll wander around here by myself."

"Okay!"

Xiao Wangjie agreed and took out a stone token from his pocket. It had the symbol of the earth on it. He handed it to Jiang Yun, looking a bit embarrassed. "Master Jiang, this is my village’s Token."

Xiao Wangjie was clearly a bit shy about his Token.

Because in the Hundred Family Bazarr, Tokens are a symbol of identity.

If you have a Token issued by a large group, you will be treated differently and respected wherever you go.

Even when buying things, you can enjoy lower prices.

So Xiao Wangjie felt that it was a bit embarrassing for Jiang Yun, who was so powerful, to hold the Token of his Xiao Village.

Jiang Yun didn’t mind, he graciously took the Token and wore it around his waist saying, "Alright, I’m leaving."

Just as Jiang Yun was about to enter the Hundred Family Bazaar, suddenly a loud laughter echoed from afar.

Following that, a loud voice said, "Wangjie’s nephew, it’s been a year, how is your father’s health? I was planning to visit him these days!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun naturally looked towards the direction of the voice.

He saw a chubby old man with a youthful appearance, red face, riding a black crane, flying towards them.

Behind him, there were about forty to fifty people following, each riding a bird as a mount.

Just by this grand appearance, Jiang Yun could guess that the other party had a big background and was very wealthy!

Jiang Yun was quite surprised that the small and weak Xiao Village could gain favor with such a powerful and influential group.

Xiao Wangjie whispered to Jiang Yun, "His name is Qian Jin, he is the leader of the Qian family!"

"The Qian family, also known in The Land of a Hundred Families, is a highly respected family skilled in medicine-making. Even the Mu village is polite to them. My father was saved by him in the past!"

"Over the years, he has been visiting our village frequently, bringing medicine for my father each time. It has helped us build a good relationship with their family!"

Initially, Jiang Yun was just curious about Qian Jin, but the last sentence made a cold light flash in his eyes.

When he pointed out Xiao Yun’s old illness, he spoke very politely, suggesting that the person who cured Xiao Yun might not have removed the poison completely due to lacking medical skills.

In reality, he was almost certain that the poison in Xiao Yun’s body was intentionally left behind by the one who cured him!

Because when detoxifying, the poison in the wound should be the first to be removed, this is basic knowledge!

Therefore, intentionally leaving the poison unresolved, along with showing goodwill and offering help without being asked, Qian Jin must have some ulterior motives towards Xiao Village.

Jiang Yun suddenly realized that, even though he had accidentally entered Xiao Village, the situation in Xiao Village was not as simple as he had thought!
