Chapter 711: Alone

The man’s words made Jiang Yun feel a little puzzled.

The young man in front of him had only reached the first level of the Sky Reaching Realm.

They had only exchanged a few words, how could he tell that Jiang Yun had recently arrived at Dao Prison?

If the man had judged based on Jiang Yun’s unfamiliar appearance, it was unlikely.

In the past year, Jiang Yun had followed Firebird chasing after meteor showers, traveling to many places.

The distance from where he first entered Dao Prison was hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Even if the man had a great memory and many friends, it was impossible for him to recognize and remember the faces of every person in such a large area!

Though he was puzzled, Jiang Yun showed no expression on his face and calmly asked, "Why do you think that?"

The man glanced at Jiang Yun cautiously before answering, "Because the benefactor saved me!"

This reason made Jiang Yun furrow his brow involuntarily.

Although all those thrown into Dao Prison were considered criminals, these so-called criminals were only in comparison to Dao God Temple.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that every prisoner in Dao Prison is truly wicked.

At the very least, there must still be some kind-hearted individuals who lend a helping hand to others, which is not enough to judge someone as a recent entrant to Dao Prison!

This reason made Jiang Yun somewhat unable to accept it.

Seeing Jiang Yun’s furrowed brow, the young man immediately guessed Jiang Yun’s confusion and hurriedly added, "The benefactor didn’t understand my meaning."

"From the moment the benefactor saved me until now, no companions have appeared, indicating that the benefactor must have arrived here alone."

In truth, Jiang Yun had a companion named Firebird, but Firebird refused to step foot into Reincarnation Cave.

Jiang Yun naturally didn’t speak up, just stayed silent and kept listening.

"Inside Dao Prison, unless you are a very strong individual, no one dares to enter the Reincarnation Cave alone."

"This Reincarnation Cave, despite its name implying rebirth, is actually the most dangerous place in the entire Dao Prison!"

"After all, not everyone can easily offer something that would make Master Golden Toad willing to help!"

Listening to the man’s explanation, Jiang Yun finally understood.

For the prisoners sent to Dao Prison, this Reincarnation Cave is indeed a blessed place, but to get the Golden Toad’s help in removing the poison gas, they must offer a tribute, like the feathers of a Firebird.

However, not everyone can easily obtain such a tribute.

Take the Firebird feathers, for example, even after spending over a year near the Firebird, Jiang Yun had only witnessed two cultivators exchange Beast Cores for feathers.

Even though there are other tributes, it’s clear that they are equally hard to obtain.

So for those cultivators whose bodies are already filled with poison but can’t produce offerings, the only way to get the Golden Toad’s help to remove the poison is to stay near the Reincarnation Cave.

They wait for others with offerings to come, and then attack and kill them!

Even if everyone has offerings, there is a possibility of fights breaking out.

Because entering the Reincarnation Cave is not a one-time thing, the more offerings, the better!

Therefore, whether entering the Reincarnation Cave to steal from others or for self-protection, it is important to gather more people to strengthen their power.

Despite being alone and encountering a man who had fainted, instead of robbing his offerings, the person actually saved him, showing ignorance of the importance of the Reincarnation Cave and offerings.

The man realized from this that he had arrived at the Dao Prison not long ago.

Understanding this made Jiang Yun feel quite emotional.

Despite his careful thinking, Jiang Yun hadn’t realized that his act of saving someone had inadvertently revealed that he was new to the Dao Prison.

It looks like I will need to be more careful in the future.

Apart from that, Jiang Yun also noticed something from the man’s explanation.

The man referred to Golden Toad as "sir"!

Previously, those who exchanged feathers with Firebird also referred to Firebird as "Lord of Fire".

From this, it seems that within Dao Prison, demon beasts are particularly respected.

It is just unknown whether this respect is for all demon beasts, or only because they have requests for Firebird and Golden Toad.

Jiang Yun nodded, did not continue on this issue, but changed the subject, asking, "What are your offerings?"

This was a question that Jiang Yun had always been curious about.

What exactly does Golden Toad need to help cultivators remove poison gas?

"Leave, Fusang tree!"

The man obviously knew that Jiang Yun probably didn’t know the origins of Fusang, so he explained, "Inside Dao Prison, there is a tree called the Fusang Tree."

"This tree is very strange, its seeds come from the fireballs ejected from within the sun."

"This tree thrives in fire, taking fire as its soil and nutrients, rooting in flames, growing in fire, spreading branches and leaves, but once the flames die out, it will wither."

"The leaves of the Fusang Tree are the offerings needed by Master Golden Toad."

As a pharmacist, Jiang Yun knew a lot about plants and trees in the world, but he had never heard of this Fusang Tree.

Can you believe that there are trees that grow in fire?

Even after enduring thirteen rainfalls of fireballs himself, he had never seen a Fusang Tree. It’s not hard to guess that this Fusang Tree must be extremely rare.

However, this made him realize that the offerings demanded by the Golden Toad are closely related to fire.

After figuring out the doubts in his heart, Jiang Yun nodded at the man and said, "Now that the poison in your body has been greatly reduced, and the fireball rain has also ended, we shall part ways here!"

"Wait!"

The man quickly stopped Jiang Yun and said, "Sir, since you are also alone, surviving in this Dao Prison is very difficult. Why not come to my clan?"

"Although our clan is not the biggest, we have some power, so we are able to stay close to Peach Blossom City."

"Aside from the unavoidable poison, surviving here is not too hard."

Jiang Yun frowned slightly and asked, "What is Peach Blossom City?"

The man realized his mistake and said, "Forgive my rashness, sir. Since you are new here, you may not know about Peach Blossom City. It is like a paradise in this layer of Dao Prison, a place all cultivators dream of entering."

"Although this Dao Prison is harsh, there are a few places of opportunity, and Peach Blossom City is one of them."

"It’s called a city, but it’s actually a huge valley surrounded by mountains, offering natural protection. It was claimed by powerful individuals long ago as their residence."

"As time passed, more and more people entered the valley, and with the efforts of many predecessors, the valley was transformed into a town."

"Inside, there were abundant resources for cultivation, and several special formations that could absorb pure spirit qi at a cost."

"The Fusang Leaves also come from inside Peach Blossom City!"

At this point, the man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "There are even rumors that the first group of prisoners who discovered Peach Blossom City have now left Dao Prison!"
