Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"I see...!"

With a heavy thud of his fists, Wu Yunran seemed to suddenly realize something, and then said, "No wonder these Beast Hunters suddenly gathered together. It turns out they had already foreseen that the sandstorm raging beyond the pass was about to subside, which is why they were waiting here in advance..."

"good."

Lu Feng nodded in agreement, his tone remaining calm. "The Guo family is not only a long-established family of cultivators in the Southern Yue Kingdom, but most of its members are also skilled in alchemy. Therefore, the Guo family consumes a considerable amount of various demon core resources on a daily basis..."

"Besides, Guo Tianlin, the former young master of the Guo family, was also the top of the four rising stars of the Alchemist Guild. And these Beast Hunting Guards are now braving the danger of sandstorms to go out of seclusion to hunt, presumably on Guo Tianlin's orders, intending to solve the problem of the shortage of demon cores..."

"Lu Feng, I didn't expect you to know so much about the Guo family?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiang, who was standing to the side, also showed a slight frown and a look of surprise.

Although the Lu family's foundation in various aspects is not as good as that of the Guo family, they are still a long-established immortal cultivation family in the Southern Yue Kingdom, and they also know quite a bit about the Guo family.

But after hearing Lu Feng's words, Lu Xiaoxiang suddenly realized that she had been looking at the world from the bottom of a well.

Clearly, Lu Feng knew far more about the Guo family than she, a native martial artist of the Southern Yue Kingdom, did!

"Miss Lu, you flatter me. I only had a brief encounter with the Guo family in the past, which is nothing special."

With another grin, Lu Feng spoke slowly and deliberately.

After all, Guo Tianlin, the young master of the Guo family, was a very familiar person to him.

Not to mention that on the day of Consort Ren Xuanfei's coming-of-age ceremony in Dongyun Kingdom, he once publicly engaged in alchemy and magic duels with Guo Tianlin. Later, when the Yun family and others plotted a rebellion and the army of the Wusheng Sect attacked, he even saved the latter's life.

Therefore, Lu Feng naturally remembered this debt of gratitude very well.

However, right now he was only thinking about getting to the Wuyun Tribe as soon as possible to collect the Immortal Stones, and he didn't have time to go to Guo Tianlin's door to ask for a favor.

"Brother Lu, Miss Xiaoxiang!"

Just then, Wu Yunran's exclamation came again from the side, "Look! The sandstorm has really subsided...!"

Following each other's directions, the two looked out and saw that the area outside the pass, which had been shrouded in sand and dust, was now gradually becoming clear and sunny, and the view of the outside world had also become much wider. It was clear that the sandstorm that had been raging outside the pass had subsided and was no longer as violent as before.

"Not only has the surrounding spiritual energy returned to calm, but the sand below has also not gathered to form a new eye of a sandstorm, so there shouldn't be any new sandstorms forming in the short term..."

Seeing this, Lu Feng did not rush to leave the pass. He simply looked around and observed the surroundings. After confirming that everything outside the pass was normal, he nodded silently and said, "Brother Wu, I will trouble you to continue leading the way."

Although with Lu Feng's current strength and cultivation, even without Wu Yunran's company, he could still roam freely beyond the Great Wall and venture into the Southern Barbarian Lands alone, as an outsider martial artist, he was ultimately not very familiar with the Southern Barbarian Lands.

Therefore, if Lu Feng wants to get to the Wuyun Tribe as soon as possible, he will have to rely on Wuyun Ran, a local tribesman, to guide him.

"Brother Lu, Miss Xiaoxiang, please come with me!"

Seeing that the sandstorm outside the pass had finally subsided, Wu Yunran, who had been anxiously waiting, didn't waste any words. He immediately led the two people beside him and flew at full speed towards the northwest of the pass, which seemed to be the location of the Wu Yun tribe.

"Captain! The sandstorm has subsided!"

Inside the checkpoint tower, upon discovering that the sandstorm had dissipated, a beast-hunting guard couldn't help but speak up.

"Damn it! The trouble is finally over. If it had dragged on any longer, Young Master Tianlin would have severely punished us..."

The leading beast-hunting captain glanced at the area beyond the pass and couldn't help but curse under his breath. He then waved his hand dismissively, "Brothers, follow me out of the pass to hunt beasts! Young Master Tianlin gave a death order yesterday: we must hunt at least thirty high-level Xuan-rank demonic beasts today. No mistakes!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Faced with their leader's orders, the remaining Beast Hunters dared not disobey. They immediately bowed and accepted the command, then followed him as they marched out of the pass in a grand procession.

...

Outside a desert oasis on the outskirts of the southern barbarian lands

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Suddenly, three figures descended from the sky and landed steadily. The one leading them had a dark face and excited eyes; he was none other than Wu Yunran, who had been away from home for a long time.

"Brother Lu, Miss Xiaoxiang, this is it!"

Looking at the familiar entrance to the oasis, Wu Yunran suppressed her excitement and immediately began to introduce it to the two people beside her.

"So this is the habitat of the Dark Cloud Tribe?"

Lu Xiaoxiang glanced at the oasis entrance opposite her, her pretty face slightly surprised, seemingly somewhat taken aback. "Moreover, an oasis with such a vast area is probably even smaller than the territory of some medium-sized tribes...!"

In her mind, most of the southern barbarian lands were harsh and cold places, with very few oases suitable for ordinary people to live in.

However, the current habitat of the Wuyun tribe is a desert oasis with abundant water and grass, which naturally surprised Lu Xiaoxiang.

After all, the Wuyun tribe was just a small tribe with a population of no more than tens of thousands. Even in the entire Southern Barbarian land, it was insignificant. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to occupy such a lush oasis!
