Wild Dogs

As Xue Ming finished speaking, he clenched his fist slightly.

Yang Fan could tell that his eyes were completely focused on the Xuan Ying Pill, and he couldn't care about anything else.

This made Yang Fan give up the idea in his mind.

This person has gone completely mad; no amount of persuasion will help.

The best course of action now is to figure out how to extricate myself.

"Then this disciple wishes Master in advance success in obtaining the materials for refining the Profound Infant Pill."

Yang Fan complimented.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming chuckled and grabbed Yang Fan by the shoulder.

"Kid, don't try any tricks. I'm taking you there for a reason."

Then he sped up and flew forward with Yang Fan in tow.

Yang Fan couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly.

"Master, what use is a lowly lackey like me?"

"I'm only at the second level of Qi Refining right now, so I can't help with anything."

"Master, do you need me to keep watch outside for you?"

"Rest assured, I will do as you say."

Yang Fan hurriedly pledged his loyalty to Xue Ming.

But Xue Ming just sneered.

"Stop talking nonsense. You'll be coming into the secret realm with me."

Yang Fan grinned.

"But I don't have a token."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming chuckled again.

"Don't worry, I have a way to get you in."

"Although this token only allows one person to use it at a time."

"But your strength is so weak, I can use some tricks and methods to successfully bring you in."

"Don't worry, you will be of great use to my master."

"Your master will not harm you until you are useful."

"And as long as you help me obtain the materials needed to refine the Mysterious Infant Pill smoothly."

"Your master will definitely not treat you unfairly, and will give you a bright future."

After speaking, Xue Ming looked at Yang Fan.

Under normal circumstances, given your aptitude and physique, you would never be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in your lifetime.

But if you help me find what's inside, I'll give you a lot of benefits.

These benefits are enough to push your cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan was surprised.

You should know that his spiritual root is hidden and only appears intermittently.

In other words, a cultivator with a hidden spiritual root needs far more spiritual energy to advance and break through than a cultivator with a common five spiritual root.

Under normal circumstances, with his aptitude, it would be difficult for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The materials required are hundreds or even thousands of times more than those required by ordinary cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

He didn't know that the old man was willing to take out so many materials.

Perhaps sensing the surprise in Yang Fan's eyes, Xue Ming spoke solemnly.

"Don't think I'm just making empty promises; I'm stating the facts."

"As long as you help me obtain the materials to refine the Profound Infant Pill, I will naturally give you sufficient benefits."

"After all, you are just a minor Qi Refining cultivator and pose no other threat to me."

"Now you can rest assured."

Hearing Xue Ming's words, Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

So it seems that Xue Ming brought him along because he wanted him to help find materials.

Yang Fan was truly puzzled as to what kind of material it was that required his assistance in searching for it.

Yang Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But he also knew that now was not the time to say more.

He could only nod vaguely at Xue Ming, expressing his loyalty.

Seeing that Yang Fan was so honest, Xue Ming was quite satisfied.

"Very good, I am very satisfied with your cooperation."

"Remember, if you have any problems, just tell me, and I'll help you find a solution."

Xue Ming said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan nodded hurriedly.

Then, Xue Ming led Yang Fan forward.

Along the way, Xue Ming would give Yang Fan instructions from time to time.

Tell him the differences between the situations in the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Liang Kingdom.

He also told him about the various powers in the Great Xia Kingdom and which places were more dangerous.

After listening to Xue Ming's introduction, Yang Fan gained some understanding of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The gap between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Liang Kingdom is huge.

Although the Great Liang Kingdom is nominally a country, it has long been tightly controlled by the Six Blood Sects.

It can be considered the private territory of the Six Blood Path Sects.

Basically, every so often, the Six Blood Sects would take away a lot of mortals from the Great Liang Kingdom.

They served as their food and practiced various evil techniques.

Therefore, the people of the Great Liang Kingdom were in great distress.

However, things are much better in the Great Xia Kingdom.

The Great Xia Kingdom also has an emperor, although the power of the sects is much stronger than that of the royal family.

However, the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom still holds some status.

Although emperors may wield power and influence in the mortal world, they are still, after all, mortals.

With the existence of the royal family, at least some benefits can be secured for ordinary people.

Therefore, the mortals of the Great Xia Kingdom lived better than the mortals of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Yang Fan wasn't very interested in any of that; he just wanted to get out of danger and escape as soon as possible.

In contrast, he used to harbor a lot of resentment towards Qingyun Temple.

But after leaving Qingyun Temple, I witnessed too many demons and monsters.

Yang Fan's fondness for Qingyun Temple grew stronger.

Even though Qingyun Temple often slaughtered its servants, it was nothing compared to these evil sects.

Qingyun Temple is so upright.

And so, Xue Ming carried Yang Fan for thousands of miles in one go.

A few days later, Xue Ming stopped and looked at a tall mountain range in front of him.

A flash of joy crossed his eyes.

He took out the Xuan Yuan Token, looked ahead, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Very good, it seems this Xuan Yuan Token is genuine."

Yang Fan glanced at the Xuan Yuan Token.

He saw that a pair of yin-yang fish had slowly emerged on the Xuan Yuan Token and were constantly rotating on it.

Seeing Yang Fan's curiosity, Xue Ming explained it to him.

"Look, do you see these yin-yang fish?"

"This is what happened after the Xuan Yuan Token approached the Xuan Yuan."

"As long as the Xuan Yuan Token comes within five hundred miles of the Xuan Yuan, these Yin-Yang fish will appear."

"And pointed out the exact location of Xuan Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan immediately looked at the yin-yang fish.

He then noticed that there seemed to be a huge arrow in the center of the yin-yang fish, pointing in one direction.

Yang Fan immediately looked in the direction the arrow was pointing.

However, upon seeing that it was actually a high mountain, he immediately frowned in surprise.

"Wasn't this supposed to be the Xuan Yuan Token? Why is there a high mountain in front of us instead?"

Xue Ming laughed loudly.

"You don't understand. The high mountains in front are just an illusion."

"It's called Xuanyuan, and it truly is an abyss."

"Once you remove the illusion in front of you, you will be able to see the full extent of Xuan Yuan."

Then, Xue Ming took a deep breath, waved his hand, and continued flying forward with Yang Fan.

Yang Fan followed Xue Ming obediently, constantly thinking of a solution.

However, Xue Ming stopped halfway through the flight.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming turned around, glanced at Yang Fan, and chuckled.

"Although we have the Xuan Yuan Token, judging by the time, the restrictions over there won't be open for another few days."

"Let's be on the safe side and find a safe place to stay for now."
