“Eight thousand catties of blackbone grass, eight thousand catties of witherbug shatterheart orchids, ten thousand catties of seven scent seeds, silverthread silkworm…”
Xu Fu took an inventory of all her goods. These medicinal materials were all to be transported to the Ancient Qin’s Pill Palace for refinement into elixirs.
“Xu Fu, have you purchased everything?” Wang Jian walked beside her.
“More or less. Just missing one Immortality Secret Elixir now.” On every voyage to the Western Sea, she sought out immortality. This Immortality Secret Elixir was the most important. So long as she obtained this secret elixir, this trip to the Western Sea would be considered successful.
“En.”
“Now, we wait for the Immortality Banquet to begin.” Xu Fu sighed. Because of the Western Sea God’s appearance tis time, her search for medicine was considerably bumpy. Fortunately, everything was almost finished.
“When is the Immortality Banquet?”
“In fifteen days. It seems practically all of the Ten Shamans Of Spirit Mountains have gone to Changliu to subjugate the Illusionary Flying Snow. The banquet should have already started by the time they return.” Xu Fu pursed her lips and clicked her tongue: “This Register Of Deities is truly exceptional. Once it opened, even a unique Spirit Demon like the Illusionary Flying Snow appeared.” Her relationship with Wu Peng was very close, so she was aware of the Ten Shamans Of Spirit Mountain’s activities. They were practically all moving out for Changliu, a rare sight in the Shaman Spirit Kingdom. “If we are able to retrieve the Illusionary Flying Snow for the Ancient Qin, to give Her Majesty the White Emperor’s mount, then she would be one of the new Five Emperors.”
“Do you want to?” Wang Jian calmly glanced at her.
Xu Fu smiled; she was not stupid. If the Ten Shamans had gone to subjugate the Illusionary Flying Snow, there was no need for her to step foot in there. Whether it was White Emperor Shaohao’s Changliu ruins or the Ten Shamans Of Spirit Mountain’s ambitions, she could meddle with neither. Xu Fu’s mission was merely to transport medicinal ingredients back to Ancient Qin. She did not care for the rest, so as to avoid producing side issues.
“Many cultivators seeking to take advantage of the situation have gone to Changliu to subjugate the Illusionary Flying Snow.”
“Even if there is a mountain of daggers and a sea of fire, Avici hell will never have a shortage of this kind of cultivator.”
An ice-cold voice suddenly interjected.
The two women turned back to see that at some point int time, a noble dressed in clothes and a cap as white as snow and silk that was like frost had arrived before them.
“Good evening, Your Highness!”
Xu Fu and Wang Jian saluted her.
Xuesha softly grunted.
“As Your Highness says, the world is vast. There will always be cultivators who feel themselves to be Qilin Children capable of turning misfortune into fortune and finding boon in danger.” Xu Fu was aware of this logic.
“Now that the Ten Shamans have gone to Changliu, the Tenth Market’s Five Flavors Soul Returning Powder has also come to an end. Ten Shamans City has finally calmed down.” Wang Jian said.
“En. Guard the Immortality Boat well, you two.” Xuesha moved to disembark.
“Ah, Your Highness, your injuries…” Xuesha exclaimed.
“No matter.”
Saying this, the body of the girl who was like snow and frost had already vanished like an illusion into thin air.
…
Changliu.
The forest stretched into the sky, obstructing the sunlight. A silhouette flitted over a wide lake. This figure was extremely swift, like it was the fastest thing in the world, the pinnacle of perfection, leaving no trail along the water’s surface. The shadow passed over the lake and saw a ruin, coming to a stop.
It was a shuttle, and on it was a young man wearing a mask and a lazy little girl.
“Big Brother, why did we stop?” The girl asked.
“Hm.” The young man carefully looked around. This pair was none other than Qi Lin and Qi Qi.
After several days of internal conflict, Qi Lin had, in the end, decided to go on one more trip to Changliu, not to capture the Illusionary Flying Snow, but to give this Spirit Demon a warning ahead of the Ten Shamans, to make it leave immediately and save itself. The Illusionary Flying Snow was somewhat related to the Qilin Holy Beast. Furthermore, he honestly had no way to refuse the earnest pleas of that mysterious girl in his mind.
By using the Escaping Heaven Shuttle and the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape, Qi Lin’s movement was far faster than the Ten Shamans Of Spirit Mountain.
He more or less understood a bit of the trail from Wu Gu’s records. If he was not wrong, Wu Xian and the Ten Shamans should be following their previous route from before to hurry into the section of Changliu for sacrifices to Heaven. Qi Lin had already set his route, which was sufficient to outpace them and avoid them – if everything went smoothly.
Now, Qi Lin had hit a small bump in the world.
In order to get there ahead of them, he needed to use a new shortcut. The dangers within were unknown, and this time, the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven was tagging along.
“Master, why are we not moving? If we are unable to hurry there, it will be dangerous if we bump into Yang Jian and the others.” The palm-sized white ape leapt out.
“We are already at the pill hall.” Qi Lin looked around at this terrain. It was none other than the place he had gone to retrieve the Luan Pill Cauldron.
However, this was through a new route, so this was also a different pill hall from before.
It was very likely another Luan Pill Cauldron was hidden inside.
“Master, what are you thinking?” The white ape was still confused.
Qi Lin was wondering whether or not to grab another Luan Pill Cauldron. With Qi Qi’s help, handling the Mystery Silver Guard should be no issue. But he did not know how much time he had left. Qi Lin’s thoughts were already far-reaching. If he obtained it, he could sell it to Wu Gu, allowing him to go to the Eastern Sea immediately. Furthermore, if Wu Gu obtained this Luan Pill Cauldron, she would have the means to concoct some of his pill recipes. This would allow the Tenth Market to persist in its hard-won improvements.
Over this past month of collaboration, Qi Lin and Wu Gu had gotten along very cheerfully. In his heart, he already treated her as an elder sister, and he naturally wanted to help her with anything before he embarked for the Eastern Sea.
“Big Brother, just do whatever you want. This Old Sun is here!” Qi Qi flicked her chin, swearing arrogant oath.
Qi Lin smiled. He looked at this pill hall, planning all the details in his mind at this moment.
“If we go according to the map, there’s a secret passage here. We can enter Changliu’s second strata, the sacrifices to Earth, from there…Good, let’s go get the pill hall’s cauldron first.” Qi Lin made his plan. If the twelve pill rooms were arranged in a ring, they should be connected in the center. According to the structure of the ruins, there should be a passage straight into the second layer. This could also save some time.
Qi Lin maneuvered the Escaping Heaven Shuttle down into the passage.
Not long after they entered, a snow-white figure also floated over.
At the same time, entrance to Changliu.
Eight beautiful silhouettes appeared walking upon auspicious clouds. Behind them were a hundred strangely dressed bodyguards.
As the leader, Wu Xian was dressed magnificently.
“Little Sisters, are your preparations complete?”
Wu Xian swept her gaze over her sisters.
“Elder Sister, shall we wait a little longer for those cultivators to get themselves killed?” Wu Pan sinisterly grinned.
“Just a bit more.”
“What about Yang Jian?” Wu Peng furrowed her brow. What she worried about most was still this Erlang Shen.
“We have brought the Earlier Heaven magic treasure Deity-suppressing Plate. If Yang Jian insists on fighting us for our Shaman Spirit Kingdom’s Divine Beast, then she cannot blame us Ten Shamans for showing no mercy.” Wu Xian was not afraid of her.
“Well, then, let us hurry and go forth. That Yan Zi perhaps has already been waiting for a long while.” Wu Peng sneered.
“Go.”
The auspicious clouds flew into Changliu with the hundred guards in close pursuit.
After this, escape-lights, sword-lights, divine lights and every sort of escape ability and magic treasure shot towards Changliu’s depths.
This silent Primal Chaos Heavenly Court period ruin was suddenly bustling with activity.
