Wild Dogs

"With the addition of the four regions of the world and the Central Plains, the entire continent is divided into five major regions."

"The spiritual energy in the Western Wilderness is the most scarce, which is why it is called the Western Wilderness by the world."

"The mountain range we are in now, and the surrounding area, are located in the northwest corner of the Western Wilderness."

"What? This place is actually located in the northwest corner of the Western Wilderness?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but show surprise.

"Is it really that remote?"

Yang Fan had always believed that the place where he lived was rich in spiritual energy and could be considered an excellent place for cultivation.

I never imagined that the spiritual energy here would be so scarce.

"That's right."

"This place is located in the northwest corner of the Western Wilderness, and it can be considered one of the most barren areas in the world."

Hearing this, Yang Fan scratched his head.

"So, where do the three nations of Great Liang, Great Xia, and Great Qian stand on the entire continent?"

Yang Fan had never understood these worldly affairs before, and filled with curiosity, he quickly asked.

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator smiled gently and continued to explain.

"These three countries, placed in this remote area, can indeed be considered major powers."

"But if you look at the whole world, it's really not worth mentioning."

"The three kingdoms of Liang, Xia, and Qian, along with more than fifty other large and small kingdoms in the surrounding area, are all under the jurisdiction of the Haoran Sword Sect."

"And this Haoran Sword Sect is just one of the top forces in the northwest corner of the Western Wilderness."

Hearing this, Yang Fan was completely stunned.

"You mean there's a major sect like the Haoran Sword Sect above the Great Liang and Great Xia dynasties?"

"And the Haoran Sword Sect alone governs more than fifty countries?"

Hearing this, the female cultivator nodded repeatedly.

"That's right."

Then Xiao Ruolan patiently explained to Yang Fan in detail.

"Although the Western Wilderness is barren of spiritual energy and lacks resources, it has quite a few top-tier forces within its borders."

"Besides the Taoist branches, there are also many Buddhist and Confucian forces rooted in the Western Wilderness."

"In comparison, the northwest corner is too desolate and remote, with only a few ordinary small and medium-sized sects standing there."

"Major powers such as Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism have never set foot in this place."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yang Fan curiously.

"Haven't you heard of these things before, young master?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan nodded repeatedly.

This was the first time he had learned that there were even more powerful forces above the Three Kingdoms.

During his childhood, he lived in a remote village for many years and knew nothing about the outside world.

After embarking on the path of cultivation, he spent his days in hiding and living in constant fear, with no time to explore the world's situation.

The Qingyun Temple and the Blood Fiend Sect must contain records of information related to the general situation of the world.

Yang Fan was only focused on staying safe and preserving his life, and never had the time to read or understand it.

Seeing Yang Fan's earnest expression, completely bewildered and ignorant, the female cultivator couldn't help but sigh softly.

"This is the predicament faced by cultivators in remote areas."

"It's not that you haven't been diligent enough in your cultivation, but rather that your background and circumstances have limited your perspective, which naturally cannot compare to that of cultivators from the Central Plains."

Thinking of this, the female cultivator sighed softly again.

She then looked at Yang Fan and gently comforted him.

"Young master, there is no need to be upset about this."

"Knowing these things sooner or later makes little difference and doesn't help much with spiritual practice."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan slowly nodded.

He then looked at the female cultivator with curiosity again.

"And what kind of place is Zhongzhou?"

At this moment, he no longer had much curiosity about the barren Western Wilderness, but instead longed more and more for the Central Plains where Xiao Ruolan came from.

"Zhongzhou."

"Zhongzhou is the true holy land for spiritual practice in this world."

At this point, a hint of nostalgia appeared in the female cultivator's eyes.

Xiao Ruolan has been away from Zhongzhou for two years in order to find an opportunity to break through her cultivation level.

She always missed Zhongzhou very much.

Then she turned to look at Yang Fan.

"The spiritual energy in Zhongzhou is much richer than here."

"There are countless cultivation sects of all sizes everywhere."

"If you have the opportunity in the future, young master, you can go to Zhongzhou for a visit yourself."

"You can't really describe what Zhongzhou looks like just by talking about it."

Hearing this, Yang Fan nodded slightly.

Then Xiao Ruolan asked Yang Fan about his past life and experiences.

Yang Fan embellished his past experiences and recounted them.

He said seven parts truth and three parts falsehood, but kept all the key secrets hidden.

He only told the truth about the trivial matters.

The two chatted back and forth, and gradually became quite familiar with each other.

After a while, the pill was successfully refined.

Yang Fan took the pill and walked up to Xiao Ruolan, handing it to her.

"alright."

"If you take this pill, your injuries will heal faster."

"Then thank you very much, young master."

Xiao Ruolan took the pill and gently sniffed it.

With her cultivation level, she could immediately tell whether a pill was poisonous.

After confirming that there was no problem, she swallowed it directly.

Before long, a warm current of energy slowly spread through the meridians.

Xiao Ruolan was overjoyed.

Yang Fan watched her quietly for a while.

After taking several pills, Xiao Ruolan was able to slowly move her body.

However, her meridians had not yet recovered, and she was still unable to mobilize spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Yang Fan coughed lightly and spoke.

"Fairy Xiao, why don't you tidy up your clothes inside the cave first?"

"I'll go outside and patrol the area first to see if there's any danger."

After saying this, Yang Fan cupped his hands in greeting, turned around, and left.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruolan quickly looked down at her own clothes.

Upon seeing her disheveled state, her cheeks flushed bright red.

During her previous battle with the spirit beast, the flames it spewed burned her clothes to shreds.

His clothes were torn and slapped several times by the sharp claws of the spirit beast, leaving them tattered and torn in many places.

Now it can only barely cover the vital parts of the body.

When Yang Fan carried her into the cave earlier, she was flustered and at a loss.

Completely oblivious to her disheveled appearance and loss of composure.

Now that she had a little strength left, she hurriedly raised her hand to gather her tattered clothes.

Seeing Yang Fan take the initiative to go out and avoid her, she gently bit her lower lip.

With a sliver of strength, he carefully retrieved the clean clothes from the storage bag.

Gradually replace them.

As she changed her clothes, she pondered to herself.

The young man in front of me is behaving well and is clearly not a person with evil intentions.

Only when the other party is of reliable character can one rest assured and recuperate peacefully.

She is currently unable to mobilize her spiritual energy, and if Yang Fan leaves now, she will be in grave danger all by herself here alone.

After much thought, Xiao Ruolan felt more and more that it was the right thing to do to keep Yang Fan by her side as her protector.
