Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#161 - Chapter 160 Fire Cloud
Zhang Yuanjing picked up Pei Yunxiu and Guo Yunfei's storage bags, burned the two women's bodies along with Jiang Yongqian's corpse, then mounted his flying sword and quickly left the mountain along the way he came, heading west.
Guo Yunfei's mid-grade spiritual weapon had already been taken away by Zhang Yuanjing, and her low-grade and mid-grade talismans were almost exhausted. Apart from three thousand spiritual stones, there was nothing of value.
As the person in charge of Langshan, Pei Yunxiu had many good things. The most valuable was a low-grade Wind-Riding Carriage, which could carry about ten people and travel 50,000 miles a day, catching up with the flying speed of a Core Formation cultivator. Of course, the consumption was also very high, requiring five mid-grade spiritual stones a day. In addition, she had two high-grade flying swords, two high-grade defensive spiritual weapons, four low-grade high-grade talismans, namely two Vajra Talismans, one Golden Sword Talisman, and one Gale Talisman, more than ten mid-grade talismans, forty mid-grade spiritual stones and more than ten thousand low-grade ones, as well as many spiritual materials.
Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but click his tongue. If Pei Yunxiu had been willing to use a Vajra Talisman and a Golden Sword Talisman, even if they were mid-grade, he wouldn't have been able to keep her! Then he shook his head, guessing that this woman mostly underestimated him, thinking that he only had those few tricks, and was careless, losing her life instead.
After traveling ten thousand miles at full speed, he arrived at the mountain road that Min Huiye mentioned on the afternoon of the second day. This road was quite wide, with many traces of cultivators' axes. Although it passed through the mountain forest, there were few demons and beasts.
Zhang Yuanjing traveled north along this road, and in a mere few thousand miles, he encountered six teams of cultivators, with as few as five people and as many as ten or more. Seeing that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, and could enter the mountain alone and return safely, these cultivators did not dare to act rashly, and simply nodded in greeting, passing by.
Thus, by the morning of the third day, he finally left Yu Mountain Marsh. Zhang Yuanjing found a secluded place, released Min Huiye from the spirit beast bag, and then returned his storage bag to him. The scale armor had also been placed in it long ago.
After taking the Turtle Breath Pill, a cultivator can enter a state of suspended animation for seven days. After seven days, they will automatically wake up. In the meantime, other cultivators can also use their magic power to dispel the medicinal effects and wake them up early.
"Senior!" After Zhang Yuanjing's hour of cultivation, Min Huiye finally regained consciousness. When he saw the Taoist in front of him, he immediately recalled the previous events, and quickly got up and saluted.
"Yes, you're awake! Is your body alright?" Zhang Yuanjing nodded, but there was no expression on his face.
He did not ask about the whole story. Judging from the people involved, it was related to Deng Yunfei, but it did not seem to be a conspiracy of Motian Cave. This Min Huiye was probably innocent.
"Junior is fine!" Min Huiye replied in a brisk voice, then looked around, and asked with some doubt, "Have we left Yu Mountain Marsh?"
He did not ask who was behind the assassination. Since he was still alive, it meant that Zhang Yuanjing believed that he was innocent. That was enough, and it was useless to ask more.
"Do you know how to get to You Earth Mountain?" Zhang Yuanjing did not answer his question, but looked to the northwest and asked.
"In response to Senior, Junior has never been to You Earth Mountain, but I once heard a fellow Cloud Water Sect cultivator say that if you go northwest from Yu Mountain Marsh for 50,000 miles, you will see a mountain 3,000 feet high. After crossing this mountain, there is a large lake. On the north side of the lake is a large river. If you go upstream along this river for 100,000 miles, you will see several mortal countries. You Earth Mountain is located 10,000 miles north of these countries."
Min Huiye felt Zhang Yuanjing's estrangement towards him, and felt sad in his heart. He also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only answer the questions carefully, hoping to change this senior's impression of Motian Cave slightly.
"In that case, it's easy to find the way." Zhang Yuanjing finally showed a little smile, then took out four low-grade mid-grade defensive talismans and four attack talismans and handed them over, "Take these talismans for self-defense. We will part ways here. I hope you can maintain your original intention and wholeheartedly seek the Dao!"
"Senior! Junior... Junior is ashamed and dare not accept this gift!" Min Huiye originally wanted to ask to continue traveling together, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly reacted and hurriedly refused to cover it up.
"This time to Motian Cave, it's more than 500,000 miles, and you have to cross Yu Mountain Marsh, which is very dangerous. These few talismans are a token of my appreciation, don't refuse!" Zhang Yuanjing looked at him, and suddenly remembered that in the Void Demon World, his unintentional mistake caused his teacher to encounter danger and die. A complex look flashed in his eyes, then his face darkened, and his words took on a commanding tone.
Min Huiye was sad and heartbroken, forced a smile, took the eight talismans, bowed and said, "Huiye thanks Senior for the generous gift! I wish Senior a smooth journey and success in everything!"
Zhang Yuanjing nodded in greeting, drove his flying sword, soared into the sky, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the sky. The low-grade Wind-Riding Carriage was too conspicuous, so to avoid trouble, he decided to hide it and not use it.
Traveling through wind and dust, crossing high mountains and large lakes, and going upstream along the ten-mile-wide river, it only took him more than twenty days to reach a small mountain south of You Earth Mountain.
From then on, he no longer hurried, but dug a simple cave and meditated in it to rest. Of course, the main purpose was to wait for Yuan Thirteen to wake up. Without this big monkey, going to You Earth Mountain would be like sending himself to death.
Now, there is only about a year left before the Xuan Yin Cave opens. According to his pace, it will take four or five months to travel from the northern route, if the journey is very smooth. Therefore, he can only wait for two months. Once two months have passed, he must set off for Six Yue Immortal City.
Now that he had a cave, he moved Yuan Thirteen, this big guy, out of the spirit beast bag. Its breathing was very even, and its expression was extremely relaxed, as if it had fallen into a sweet dream. It just didn't show any signs of waking up.
Time passed day by day, and soon a month had passed. Zhang Yuanjing had nothing to do, so he refined six more furnaces of Yishen Pills, obtaining seven low-grade pills, seventeen mid-grade pills, and two high-grade pills. This was also prepared for Yuan Thirteen. If this guy was lucky enough to break through his realm, he would definitely need to greatly enhance his divine soul, and these pills would come in handy.
In addition, he sorted out his belongings. Because he wanted to cover up his identity, the storage bracelet was hidden on his body, and only two storage bags were hanging on his waist.
One was specially used to store combat items, Xuanjing Axe, Yin Wind Blade, Ju Ling Hoe, Binding Dragon Vine, as well as several spare high-grade attack and defense spiritual weapons, various talismans, Yin Jue Sand, Qing Tian Lei, Fire Crow's Spirit, Undying Flame and other strange objects, as well as Yangyuan Pills for restoring mana, internal and external healing pills, as well as Blood Rage Pills, Shenxing Powder and other special pills.
The other storage bag contained various non-precious items that he did not need, which he could use to trade with other cultivators at any time. As for magic weapons, spiritual treasures, and other items that could only be used by Core Formation stage cultivators and above, they were hidden in the storage bracelet.
On this day, he was meditating in the cave when he suddenly sensed powerful spiritual fluctuations outside, and quickly left the cave to investigate. He saw a cloud of bright red color in the high sky dozens of miles away, flying rapidly.
This cloud was extremely strange, like a jumping flame. The cloud gas rolled up and down, but the volume never decreased. When it got closer, he could still hear a faint whistling sound, as if a beast was sleeping in it.
Zhang Yuanjing suddenly remembered a legend, and his face turned pale. However, he did not act. Since he had been locked on, there was little difference between drilling into the ground sooner or later. He could not escape from the deep soil for a distance of ten or twenty miles in a dozen breaths.
The person who came was a Core Formation cultivator, and he was coming for him. Judging from the characteristics of the escape technique, there could only be one person - the Fire Cloud Immortal of Hui Mountain.
The only way the other party could find his location so accurately was that he had hidden a tracking item on his body - the Immortal City map provided by Hui Mountain's Windless Taoist. This map was under a restriction, and he did not forcibly check the jade slip with his divine sense because he was afraid of damaging it.
When he was attacked in the northern foothills of Yu Mountain Marsh, he had also suspected Hui Mountain, and suspected this jade slip containing the map. However, the appearance of Deng Yunfei dispelled his doubts. Unexpectedly, when he thought the crisis had passed, it quietly arrived, catching him off guard and helpless.
A Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage rogue cultivator is nothing. However, if one can successfully form a core without a precedent, without an old path, and without resources, then this person's talent, opportunity, mind, and temperament must be top-notch. They may have a bleak future, but in the same realm, their combat power is often comparable to that of a major sect cultivator. Facing such a terrible enemy, trying to escape is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Now, he deeply realized how stupid it was to put the Yishen Pill up for auction. Without this pill, there would be no Deng Yunfei, Pei Yunxiu and others taking risks, and it was also unlikely that Fire Cloud would appear.
Fire Crow Taoist had reminded him that Fire Cloud or Fire Phoenix might be bought by the five sects to secretly intercept and kill Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Great Perfection stage who were going to Immortal City. However, in terms of sect location, they must only guard the southern line, and would not cross the border to the northern line to kill people. For a Core Formation cultivator to run 700,000 miles to hunt down a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is it because they are faithfully fulfilling their promise to the five sects? Isn't this a joke! So, it can only be because of this Yishen Pill.
"Junior, I have been waiting for you in You Earth Mountain for more than a month, why haven't you gone there, but lingered here?" Fire Cloud stopped a hundred feet above him, and a low and magnetic voice came from it, using a questioning tone, but there was not a trace of emotion.
Zhang Yuanjing's mind turned a thousand times, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared. He thought of a way to survive in death, so he controlled the fear in his heart and asked loudly, "Senior, are you the Fire Cloud Immortal of Hui Mountain?"
"That's right! Answer my question!" The voice in Fire Cloud was still neither warm nor cold, but it had a bit more majesty.
"I heard that You Earth Mountain is dangerous, so I specially made some preparations here," Zhang Yuanjing said calmly.
"Hehe, junior, your tone is not small. Let alone you, even me, I wouldn't dare to go to that place alone even if I prepared for a few years. What exactly are you waiting for? A helper? If you have a background, it's not too late to say it now!" The voice in Fire Cloud suddenly became full of pressure, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Yuanjing's composure.
Just as Zhang Yuanjing was about to answer, a loud and provocative voice suddenly came from behind Fire Cloud.
"He's waiting for me!"
