I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 66: Mirage, Deciding to Return to the Mountain

Fu Ning put away the Qinggang Cauldron and couldn't help but say something profound: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing."

Upon hearing this, the stubble-faced man's body trembled. Was the lord mocking him?

He felt ashamed and said in a deep voice, "Please punish me, my lord."

Fu Ning just shook his head and said, "You should still think about redeeming yourself through achievements."

The stubble-faced man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, my lord. I have sent people to search everywhere. If the 'Blood Infant Grass' appears, we will definitely capture it immediately."

"I hope so," Fu Ning said, but in his heart, he wished that the man would never obtain it.

"Besides," the stubble-faced man paused and hesitated, then continued, "Although we couldn't find the 'Blood Infant Grass,' I discovered... something interesting."

"Oh?" Fu Ning didn't move, but glanced at him sideways.

The stubble-faced man's expression became slightly serious, and he hurriedly explained, "After Qian Family forcibly acquired the 'Blood Infant Grass' last time, I felt that something was off, so I sent people to investigate."

"As a result, we found out that Qian Gaoxuan was actually Cheng Ping's closest friend during his lifetime. They were kindred spirits and had a deep bond."

"After Cheng Ping passed away, Qian Family protected the Cheng family for a long time."

"I suspect that Qian Family may also have fragments of the 'Wandering Map,' and there might be more than one."

Upon hearing the words "fragments," Fu Ning's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He instantly thought of the piece of cloth in the storage bag.

Could that be the 'Wandering Map'?

The stubble-faced man didn't notice the change in Fu Ning's expression and continued, "In recent years, Qian Family's merchant ships have been exploring trade routes in the nearby seas. It is highly likely that they are secretly searching for the locations marked on the 'Wandering Map.'"

What exactly is this 'Wandering Map'?

Is it really a map?

Fu Ning pondered in his heart, but his face showed a pensive expression. "Qian Family... is indeed a formidable opponent."

The stubble-faced man nodded in agreement. "You're right, my lord."

"Qian Family has the assistance of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. If they obtain the complete map, they are very likely to open the 'Mirage.'"

Mirage?!!

Upon hearing this name, Fu Ning thought there was something wrong with his ears. He quickly coughed three times and then used his signature gesture to conceal his shock.

Mirage?!

It's actually a mirage!

White Jade Capital in the sky, twelve floors and five cities.

And this 'Mirage' is one of the twelve floors!

According to legend, the twelve floors and five cities were created by Hongzu, and each Scenic Palace carries a Great Dao rule.

Hongzu created a world by intertwining these seventeen Great Dao rules.

And this is the 'Heavenly Dao' of this world.

The Dao of Heaven is orderly and timely, with a sense of measure and rhythm, and it changes yet remains constant.

The Scenic Palaces themselves are a kind of inheritance.

If someone with ulterior motives comprehends it, the Heavenly Dao will be affected.

So Hongzu had the members of the 'Three Lives Division' guard these seventeen Scenic Palaces, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The guardian of the 'Mirage' happens to be the 'Miao Clan' within the 'Three Lives Division.'

And Yun Niang's mother is a descendant of the 'Miao Clan.'

This 'Wandering Map' also originated from the Cheng family!

All the clues are connected and point to one place.

The 'Mirage'!

Inside the Mirage lies the inheritance of Hongzu, like a place where enlightenment can occur. That is the true foundation of the Great Dao!

Fu Ning's eyes burned with excitement, and his heart surged. But soon, he quickly calmed down.

He remembered the piece of cloth he had seen before.

Yellowed all over, irregular in shape, and translucent in the middle. From the outside, it didn't look much different from ordinary cloth.

At that time, he even specifically examined its aura, which was "gray with a hint of fire," a standard sign of destruction.

If it really is a map of the 'Mirage,' the chances of luck being so low are impossible.

Could it be the Divine Artifact Concealing Its Brilliance?

Fu Ning pondered uncertainly.

After a long while, he raised his head and said hesitantly, "We must not rush into this matter, we need to carefully consider it."

"Since the current situation is unclear, we must be even more cautious."

"We will search slowly for the 'Blood Infant Grass' and also take our time with the 'Wandering Map'."

Luo Saihu nodded, feeling a sense of unease in his heart. "I understand, sir."

Previously, the envoy advised him not to act rashly against the Qian Family.

At that time, he had listened with half-belief.

It was only later, when he sent people to gather information on the Qian Family, that he realized the Qian Family had indeed set up a trap, waiting for him to fall into it.

If he hadn't listened to the envoy's words at that time, what would have been the outcome?

Thinking of this, Luo Saihu shivered.

Thank you, envoy, for saving my life~

So, after that incident, he became even more admiring of the envoy before him.

The bay at night had a special sense of tranquility.

Fu Ning turned his head directly, facing away from Luo Saihu, and said silently, "Since we need to consider this for the long term, I cannot stay at the foot of the mountain for too long."

"What does the envoy mean...?"

"I need to return to the mountain tomorrow."

If he didn't go back soon, Greedy Toad would die!

Luo Saihu nodded in agreement. "That's good, it's more convenient for the envoy to be on the mountain."

More convenient?

Fu Ning's pupils contracted.

Fortunately, he had his back turned to Luo Saihu, so the other party didn't notice.

From the meaning of Luo Saihu's words, it seemed that there were indeed people from their side on the mountain?

And their status was probably not low.

Fu Ning secretly wiped away his sweat and couldn't help but think to himself: fortunately, he didn't ask the sect for help from the beginning.

Otherwise, he might have really attracted the wolves.

"After the envoy goes up the mountain, just continue to play your role, and someone will visit you then."

After a few more words, Luo Saihu jumped back into the sea.

With a "plop," his figure disappeared into the vast ocean.

Fu Ning stood at the bow of the ship, looking out at the vast sea, lost in thought.

The 'Wandering Map'... the 'Mirage of the Sea City'.

He never expected that the small Spirit Turtle Island would still hide such earth-shattering secrets.

Now it seemed that although the various forces were on edge, no one had gained a complete advantage.

This was also good, he could return to the mountain to cultivate in peace, away from the whirlpool.

The next morning.

As usual, he got up early to meditate and practice.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Huoya arrived.

After a brief farewell, Fu Ning headed towards the mountain.

Huoya had already vaguely sensed the threshold and believed that it wouldn't be long before they would meet on the mountain. He just didn't know which mountain he would choose.

After about half an hour, Fu Ning finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Thanks to the disciple's token, he encountered no obstacles along the way.

It was strange to say that there was already a hidden undercurrent at the foot of the mountain for the 'Wandering Map'.

But the three mountains on the island were surprisingly quiet, as if they were isolated from the world.

"Could there be some other hidden secrets in between?"

Fu Ning thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

Entering the Red Mountain, Fu Ning didn't go straight up, but followed the path at the foot of the mountain towards the direction of the Red Mist Valley.
