The Spirit World

Chapter 721: The Kind Elder

Chapter 721: The Kind Elder
This canyon stretches for hundreds of miles, just like a knife cut across the mountain, cutting off the edge of the mountain range and flattening it. It is said that this place was formed by a battle between a giant dragon sleeping in Wenti County a thousand years ago and an exorcist. It is full of spiritual power, and ferocious beasts of all sizes gather here, as well as many rare and exotic animals, so few people live here.

It was normal for Chang Yufeng to bring his family with him, so he was laughed at by the two children who were planning to travel together.

Chang Yufeng knew that they were children, so he didn't say much. Of course, he hoped that Erica and Lin'er could go alone, but he was a little worried, so he had to follow them.

Although he is the winner of the swordsman group, he will not go to Fran. He needs to follow the procedure and leave everyone's sight legitimately.

He didn't have much time left, so naturally it was unlikely for him to go for so-called studies... He had already worked as a cheating student in Fran, and had learned quite well, so it would be useless for him to go now.

He has more to do.

Although he is becoming more and more confused now, there is one thing that remains unchanged, and that is to plan a good future for his family.

Although their future should be decided by themselves, it is best not to step on the setbacks ahead if possible...

"This canyon is very long..." Chang Yufeng said, feeling somewhat fortunate, because in this way, he could still stay with them for a while.

"I heard that they want all the children in Wenti County to unite... because in Fran, most of them are small groups like this." Lin'er put on a sword. The swordsmanship she learned in a month was enough to compete with Chang Yufeng who had trained for many years. His talent was too strong and he learned it by himself. Everyone would be afraid of her.

"Not really... it's just fellow villagers meeting... let's help each other..." Chang Yufeng glanced at the surrounding trees. Most of the trees at the bottom of the canyon were not exposed to the sun, so the trees were short and most of them were vegetation that needed a humid environment to grow.

It's dark here, and there must be some tricky monsters who like this environment. In other words, it's still a bit dangerous.

Oh... I thought I could just walk there quietly. The last time he and Erica went to Fran as cheat students, they did not go through the Winner's Canyon, so they were not familiar with this place.

"Why do you have to come here to suffer after you've already won..." Xun Huangying looked at Chang Yufeng's head, which was seven parts black and three parts white, and looked at Lin'er in some confusion.

Because Chang Yufeng was facing Lin'er, he had no choice but to look at Lin'er.

"It's not hardship, it's a test. The adults will watch them at the exit of the canyon. The purpose of letting the winners go through this process is to let the children from the same place unite first so that they can help each other in the future when they go to school."

Chang Yufeng explained why the winner had not gone to study yet, but wanted to walk through this dark canyon.

"That's too much to take for granted..."

Elaine wagged her tail and reached for Erica's hand. Erica understood, nodded, and grabbed Elaine's little white paw.

"This is a unique way for humans to establish bonds... It's just nonsense..." Xun Huangying laughed unhappily: "Maybe this canyon must have a mechanism for six people to go through it together~ ah? Right?"

Xun Huangying used sheep's hooves to curl Chang Yufeng's white hair. The long and long white hair was stirred by the sheep's hooves, as if it was floating in the wind.

"It would be better this way, if they could really have a companion..." Chang Yufeng said to the person who was still standing at the entrance of the canyon.

Lin'er, Erica, Lilia, and myself.

The ones who have already started this journey are Sora, Molitor, and Colin.

There are six groups that need spiritual power, plus myself, which makes seven people in total.

"It would be nice if they could have a companion."

Chang Yufeng nodded to them, and the girls from Wenti County nodded in response one by one.

"What should we do if we have no food?!" Elaine took the lead. She took Erica's hand and began to walk leisurely in the canyon.

Everyone followed slowly.

"Food is not part of the test."

Chang Yufeng quickly followed Erica.

There are some very strange crystals shining here, which are certainly worth seeing, but they are mostly unimportant stones. If they were important, they would have been dug up by others long ago, and they would not be here anymore.

Although it was not yet dark, the canyon was already filled with stars. Fireflies were flying all over the sky, which was quite beautiful...but Chang Yufeng had no interest in watching, so he hurried away.

Although this canyon is a test, it is not necessarily so unbearable. The humid air brings up the moisture here, and also pulls up the corpses of some small animals. Red flowers emerge, which is quite enchanting. Some mice are running around, standing sideways and looking at me. I look at them, as if they have spirits, wondering what the people who come in once a year look like.

Colorful butterflies fly leisurely in the canyon. There are few towering trees here, but there are quite a few huge mushrooms. Few people dare to approach the enchanting and gorgeous mushrooms in the humidity.

There were a few little monsters standing at the entrance of the cave, looking here in a sullen manner. Chang Yufeng noticed them first. They also vaguely saw someone looking here. They all scratched their heads, at a loss, and hurried back to the cave.

Because Chang Yufeng didn't speak, the girls mostly chatted about what they wore, what they ate, and how they bathed in the past few days. They didn't see those people who had hurried past along the way. The canyon was still long, so maybe those people helped them break the trap...

"There are... demons here..." Chang Yufeng patted Xun Huangying who was chatting with Yilian about the ingredients of pancakes.

Xun Huangying shook off his hand and shouted nonchalantly: "Why are you making such a fuss? Have you never seen it before?"

"No... the demon tribe also comes out during the day?"

"Huh?" Xun Huangying was a little surprised at Chang Yufeng's train of thought: "The demons don't want to eat? We are here, as long as they don't provoke us, everything will be fine..."

"I'm afraid it has something to do with that incident..." What Chang Yufeng was talking about was naturally the planning of the invasion of the demon world. The demons appearing in his sight for no reason was definitely not a good thing.

"Let me tell you this. Although you have become a big star in Wenti County, your reputation has not spread to other places. You are not targeted by others. At least I don't sense any powerful ghosts in this canyon."

Xun Huangying spoke to Chang Yufeng in a low voice so that this matter would not be made public.

"Hey... is that so..."

Chang Yufeng's heart is still affected by the lifespan he already knows, or rather, he is too tired and has a feeling of being exhausted, but he has to find time to complete all the tasks that need to be done step by step.

Locke made Chang Yufeng begin to doubt that strength is not the real strength. It is impossible to become the best in the world. Physical strength is better than nothing.

Now, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with the situation in front of him...

He knew that the world would eventually collapse...

He seems to have the power to save the world, so, relying on the sense of responsibility that comes with power, he must begin to run around every corner of the world to save the parts that may need to be saved.

He had already thought about how to do it, but the selfishness he had just built up was right in front of him. Was this preventing him from doing things?

Perhaps gods should be free from restraints, so they have nothing to worry about...

Only then can he feel at ease and not be threatened by others.

But, he has parents, he has a sister, he has friends...

He should have been alone in this world...

Because his parents had died a long time ago... he should not have any relatives or friends... so he should have nothing to worry about...

His heart is very tired...

Very tired, very tired... so tired that he hoped his life would end here, and he wouldn't have to worry about any of that crap...

There is no need to worry about the Broken Demon Clan...

"What are you talking about..."

Lin'er frowned and asked Chang Yufeng, who gently shook his head.

"No... We were discussing whether there was any mechanism here... I don't think they would let us come to the canyon for training out of thin air... There must be some treasure..."

Xun Huangying nodded in response.

"There is indeed a treasure..."

This came from Lilia who was standing by. When everyone heard about the treasure, they all looked at Lilia. Lilia was the third daughter of the Carolingian family. It would be appropriate to ask her if there was anything, but Chang Yufeng was a guide and knew a little bit about the things here.

"This canyon is for the winner to select some suitable treasures..." Lilia pursed her lips and looked at Chang Yufeng, as if Chang Yufeng was the only one here.

"Oh? Why didn't they make that clear just now?"

Lin'er frowned, but when she saw Lilia looking at her, she could smell the medicinal smell coming from Lilia's body. It should be the medicine that Lilia needed to take, mixed with moisture.

The medicine was bitter and damp, and Lilia probably couldn't stand the cold here, and her hands were shaking slightly.

"Because this kind of treasure cannot be obtained by force, there are conditions." Lilia's face looked bad, but she spoke with great energy. She naturally knew Lin'er's style, so she had a little admiration for her.

"What conditions?"

Chang Yufeng also became interested. Lilia stopped panting when she saw Chang Yufeng asking questions. She looked at Chang Yufeng with shining eyes and whispered, "My sister told me that there is a very powerful old man living in this canyon. He is very good at making predictions and can help others answer their questions. Many seniors who went out of Wenti County to study have received his guidance."

"Is it useful?" Xun Huangying also became interested.

With brilliant calculations, he can answer your questions and resolve your doubts.

This was exactly what Chang Yufeng wanted.

"Why have I never heard of this person?"

Chang Yufeng was a little confused. He had been a guide in this place before. Not to mention other places, he knew a lot about Wenti County, but he had never heard of this canyon.

"Is his name... Tsubaki? That old man..."

Elaine also leaned over and squatted on the ground to look at the mushrooms. Those mushrooms were colorful and scary to look at.

"It seems... not... My sister said that everyone calls him "Old Man Shanzhi"."

"Old Man Shanzhi..."

Everyone said in unison.

"never heard of that……"

Xunhuangying scratched his head.

Chang Yufeng was also surprised that Xun Huangying had never heard of the name of this wise old man.

"Then what are the conditions for finding Elder Shanzhi?"

"It seems that we need to pass the test of old man Shanzhi... we will know at that time..." Lilia pointed lightly to the depths of the canyon, and everyone began to be fascinated.

"Amazing calculations... Answering questions and resolving doubts..."

Chang Yufeng felt that something was fishy, but he could only try to find out.

He is very confused now. If there really is such a person, he might as well give it a try...

"Can everyone see it?" Lin'er was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to see it because she was very special...

"Only those who pass the test can see..."

Lilia was asked so many questions that she began to feel uncertain...

"It should be... like this... My sister asked... She said she also went through a test... But she didn't tell me what it was... "

Only then did Chang Yufeng realize that Lilia was shivering slightly, and only then did he notice the cold air in the canyon.

He took out a coat from the bag on his back...

He actually didn't quite understand why Lili Marlene hadn't thought about Lilia's physical condition... Only later did he realize that Lili Marlene seemed to have lost to Shor.

"You are not feeling well, so put on this clothes. If you are still cold, tell me." Chang Yufeng gave the clothes to Lin'er. Because Lin'er was close to her, Lin'er took the clothes and was about to give it to Lilia, but Lilia said sorry and Lin'er's hand stopped in the air.

"Put it on, it's new..."

Chang Yufeng felt that it was not good to give old clothes to others...

"If you're cold, you need to wear clothes..." Lin'er handed the clothes to Lilia: "Of course, if you are weak, it's best to warm yourself up by the fire."

"Hmm..." Lilia took the clothes and put them on.

But her cold hand tremors did not get better.

Lilia was a patient. She was fine outside the canyon, but after walking a distance in the canyon, the humidity in the canyon seriously attacked her.

But everyone else is fine... Lilia pursed her lips a little embarrassedly, her face was pale, and she still felt very embarrassed at this time.

There is some drag.

"Then we can only rest for a while..."

Chang Yufeng knew what disease Lilia had... This disease could not be cured... She could only be nursed back to health and live in a medicine jar for the rest of her life...

This is very exhausting... Most people can't make it through, so he has a lot of respect for Lilia. At least she can still become the winner of the Dragon Assembly with her own talent...

But in the final analysis, her illness requires someone to take very careful care of her. As the only boy in the team, Chang Yufeng is naturally the first to bear the brunt...

He has been acting as both a father and a mother to many people, and this is also what he is willing to do...

Perhaps he is just this kind of person, which is why he became the test subject of this reincarnation fate...

Being a test subject is very tiring... Even if he knew the truth, he would still lead by being the real Chang Yufeng...

Maybe he is Chang Yufeng...that's why he is called α17503038...

However, he thought of a better way so as not to get too close to anyone.

Chang Yufeng grabbed Xunhuangying, came to Lilia, and put the furry Xunhuangying in Lilia's hand.

"It's like a fire-warmer...Put it on your stomach, it will be much more comfortable..."

"Hey……"

Xun Huangying hasn't reacted yet...

Lilia looked at the Aries with some embarrassment.

The sheep was plump and stared at Lilia with one eye, one big and one small...

Lilia looked at Chang Yufeng's serious expression and took over Xun Huangying.
