Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 394 Rotten Peach Mountain

Ji An's thoughts diverged, perhaps he could find a way to improve the Silk-Pulling Mantra to the level of perfection or even great perfection.

If such a day really comes, I wonder what expressions the monks of the Golden Puppet Sect will have.

At this moment, he was horrified, and he was afraid that the monks of the Golden Puppet Sect would treat him as an enemy and kill him quickly.

But he quickly calmed down. The Silk-Pulling Curse was a secret technique of spiritual consciousness. As long as he didn't show it, outsiders would have no way of knowing the level of his magic.

He shook his head slightly and said to himself:
"You can't control too many puppets to attack the enemy at the same time in the future."

Han Yan flew over on a cloud. She was wearing a green silk dress and standing on a red auspicious cloud, which was quite charming.

"Is this outfit okay?"

Ji An nodded slightly. "As long as it's not the sect's standard Taoist robe, it's fine. Let's go. Let's fly over on the clouds and fly as high as possible."

The width of the Kuangsha River generally reaches a hundred miles, and even the narrowest area is seventy or eighty miles. In such a vast water area, there live a large number of aquatic monsters.

If it flies at low altitude, it might be swallowed by a Jindan stage monster.

The two men rode the clouds and rose hundreds of feet into the air. They each summoned the top-grade spiritual weapon in their dantian to protect themselves, and then flew across the Kuangsha River without any trouble.

Han Yan said:

“The area we are in now is located in the northeast of Nanzhou. There are not many mountains in this area, and we have to fly westward along the Kuangsha River.

I still need to find a market to buy some Fire Essence."

The essence she carried with her was running low and could only last for more than half a month.

Ji An nodded, "I also need to buy some Earth Essence."

There is plenty of fire essence in his virtual space. After all, Chiyan Peak is a place with abundant fire essence.

But the essence of the earth element is much less. If the amount is released, the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag can absorb more than 2,500 strands of essence every day.

They both took out the map jade slips at the same time and located their current location.

Han Yan said in surprise:
"Fly west for another two thousand miles and you'll reach a Rongman Immortal City, where you can rest for a few days."

According to the information, this fairy city is larger than Qingyun Fairy City and is the cargo distribution center of Nanzhou.

Ji An also had a look of joy on his face and said:

"If we fly at full speed, we can arrive in two days.

Senior Sister, let's stay there for a few more days. I'll see if I can collect some better spiritual seeds."

Collecting spirit seeds became his habit, and he would do so wherever he went.

Han Yan readily agreed:

"Okay, we've been busy traveling for so many days, it would be nice to have a few days of rest."

Two days later, in the evening.

Ji An saw an immortal city built on a black stone mountain, and more and more cultivators were coming and going.

Most of the monks here ride on raptors and monsters, such as eagles, falcons, owls, etc. From this point of view, the local monks are very competitive and aggressive.

The two of them flew on clouds, and few cultivators dared to provoke them. Most of them avoided them when they saw them from afar.

As they got closer to the Immortal City, Han Yan looked at the endless stream of cultivators and said in surprise:
"There are many more cultivators coming and going here than in Qingyun Immortal City."

Ji An frowned slightly. This place indeed felt much more prosperous than Qingyun Fairy City.

The two landed at the entrance of the Immortal City. The guarding monk respectfully handed over the jade token and said in a dialect accent:
"Two seniors, welcome to Rongman Immortal City. I wish you both a wonderful experience.

With this temporary jade token, you can stay here for seven days. If you want to stay longer, you need to pay a sum of spirit stones to the law enforcement office in the fairy city or buy or rent a cave."

The cultivators easily recognized that the two were cultivators who came to the Immortal City for the first time, because cultivators in the Chaoyuan period could ride on clouds to enter the Immortal City and land in a special area.

Ji An took the jade token and said:

"I want to know the rules of the Immortal City and also want a detailed map."

Whenever you go to a place, you must follow the local customs and avoid breaking any taboos, otherwise you will cause trouble.

The monk took out two jade slips and said with a smile:
"The jade slip contains the information that Senior wants to know. Since Senior is a Chao Yuan Stage cultivator, the jade slip is given to him for free."

Ji An took out two spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them to the other party, saying:
"It's a reward for you."

He handed a jade slip to Han Yan and checked the contents:

"Sister, let's find a place to settle down and rest first, and then go shopping in the Immortal City tomorrow to buy the necessary supplies. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's go to the restaurant first and taste the spiritual food here."

Han Yan suggested that these days, they either replaced food with air or swallowed fasting pills, and there was no taste in their mouths.

"That's what I'm planning to do."

Ji An smiled, and the two of them came to the largest restaurant, but did not enter the private room, but sat in the hall.

If you dine here, you might hear some news.

As soon as they sat down, the waiter came up and said enthusiastically:
"Two seniors, what would you like to eat?"

"Tell us about your signature dishes and prices first, and we'll listen before we make a decision."

"Okay, senior, please listen carefully."

The guy's tone was even more enthusiastic, and from his tone, you could tell that he was a man who was not short of spirit stones.

“Steamed bear paws, made from a demonic bear in the late Foundation Establishment stage, one hundred and twenty spirit stones.

Braised Eight Treasure Fish, made from treasure fish in the foundation-building stage, and one hundred and eighty spirit stones.

Smoked white pheasant, selected from a late stage Qi Refining Spiritual Bird, fifty Spiritual Stones."

After listening to the guy's report, Ji An nodded slightly, thinking that there are quite a lot of tricks.

"Sister, you choose. We'll be here for a few days anyway, so we'll try all the dishes." Han Yan smiled and said:

"Then I won't be polite. Next time, Junior Brother comes to choose, and when we pay later, we'll each have half.

Steamed bear paws, smoked and roasted white pheasant."

She ordered six dishes, the waiter wrote them down carefully, and went down happily.

Ji An took out two jars of spirit wine from his storage bag. They were only second-grade, low-quality pine wine. Drinking higher-grade spirit wine would be too conspicuous.

He took the wine glass and filled it up, then listened quietly to the discussions around him.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, I'm so unlucky. I went to Rotten Peach Mountain and didn't find anything good."

"Hey, you got the news too late, so of course the good stuff was picked up by others.

I heard that Xin Lao Hu of Qifeng Village got a Dongxu Stone the size of an egg, and I'm so jealous."

"What? How many spirit stones is this worth?!"

"Spirit Stone? It's said that Xin Lao Hu wants to present the Cave Void Stone to the cultivators of the Disha Sect so that they can be accepted into the Yuanying Sect.

As a result, the news leaked out and he was intercepted and killed on the way.

That’s good now. Although I didn’t become a cultivator of the Disha Sect, I can become the material for the Disha Sect.”

"That's it, then I'll be relieved."

After listening for a while, Ji An found that most of the cultivators here were talking about a place called Rotten Peach Mountain. They said that a precious light exploded there last night, and many exotic flowers and plants and cave stones appeared out of thin air.

The first batch of monks who went to Rotten Peach Mountain either made a fortune or were robbed and killed.

Han Yan also heard the discussion, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in a voice transmission:
"Junior brother, did you hear what they were talking about?"

Ji An nodded slightly, indicating that he heard it, and then he heard the voice transmission from his senior sister.

"If my guess is correct, there must be an unknown secret place near Rotten Peach Mountain where the lifespan ended and an explosion occurred, which is why a large number of Dongxu stones appeared."

Small worlds and secret realms all have lifespans, ranging from a few hundred years to thousands or tens of thousands of years.

"These cave stones and various spiritual plants are not the most valuable. If the secret realm is nurturing the core of the world, then that is a priceless treasure."

"The core of the world is a 'seed' that can give birth to a new small world.

The core of this world is the highest-level form of Dongxu Stone, in which living things can survive.

Junior Brother, we'll ask about the location of Rotten Peach Mountain later. We must go and see it."

Although it was telepathy, Ji An could hear his senior sister's excitement, and he was equally excited, with sparks flashing in his eyes.

"Senior Sister, the news will spread quickly, and by then the local sects in Nanzhou will definitely intervene. We don't have much time."

Ji An transmitted the message, took out the jade slip of the Nanzhou map and placed it on his forehead, then searched around Rongman Fairy City.

As a result, the name of Lantao Mountain was not found, and not even a mountain with the word "peach" in its name could be found.

"It's probably just a small hill, not worthy of being on the map."

He stood up, picked up the wine jar, and walked to the table of monks who were discussing the robbery and murder of Xin Lao Hu, and said with a smile:

"My two fellow Taoists, I have traveled here from afar and heard you talking about Rotten Peach Mountain. I don't know where this mountain is.

If you two are willing to tell me, this jar of spiritual wine will be yours."

After saying this, he broke the seal on the wine jar, and the aroma of wine immediately filled the air.

The quality of the spiritual wine from Chiyan Peak is top-notch.

"Good wine, but one jar is not enough."

A greedy look appeared on Old Zhang's face, and he grabbed the wine jar in his hand with a smile.

Since the monk who came to inquire about the news came from outside, he had to squeeze more benefits out of him.

The monks in other seats heard their conversation and looked over with interest.

Ji An bared his teeth, releasing the pressure of the Chao Yuan period.

He controlled the range of his spiritual pressure. In the eyes of the other cultivators, the playful smile on Old Zhang's face froze immediately. He stood up hurriedly:

“Senior, it’s just a joke, don’t take it seriously.

Rotten Peach Mountain is located over 400 miles southwest of the Immortal City. It is a small hill, famous for its peach forest.

When they heard Lao Zhang calling the foreign cultivator senior, they all withdrew their gazes and ate their food quietly.

Lao Zhang dipped his finger in the wine glass, drew a simple map on the table, and gestured:

"Senior, this is the Immortal City, and the location of Rotten Peach Mountain is here."

"Here's some spiritual wine for you."

Ji An returned to his seat and said:

"Sister, let's go now. We can eat spiritual food at any time, but this is the only chance to go to Rotten Peach Mountain."

Han Yan immediately stood up and said, "Let's go."

The two walked to the counter of the restaurant, and Ji An took out two medium-grade spirit stones and placed them on the table:

"Boss, we don't want the spiritual food anymore. These spiritual stones are our compensation."

The shopkeeper gave a helpless smile. He also heard Lao Zhang calling the other party "senior".

Old Zhang is a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. He is greedy and arrogant. He will only be so honest when he meets a cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage.

"Senior, take care. I don't need any compensation."

Ji An smiled and waved, then strode away.
