Chapter 367: A Birthday Gift

"Master, the Palace Master said that I need to go out and gain some experience."

"Mm, that is only natural. Shiyuan, when you were still in the Lingguang Sect, you never really went out to gain experience either, did you?"

Ye Shiyuan thought back for a moment. "Not really. I only led my junior brothers out to eliminate demons a few times. Other than that, nothing."

Eliminating demons was one thing, but gaining experience was another.

There was a great difference between the two.

Bai He lowered his head. "Come to think of it, I have never gone out to gain experience either."

"Master does not need to do such things."

"That sounds nice, but when my senior brothers and senior sister were young, they all went out alone to gain experience. My Second Senior Brother even spent five whole years traveling without a single word. Then, five years later, he suddenly returned, and his strength had increased tremendously."

All of them had spent a very long time gaining experience.

It had greatly improved both their cultivation and their overall strength.

Bai He had also considered whether he should go out and gain experience himself.

However, after thinking it over again and again, the people of the Lingguang Sect would probably never agree to it.

"Yes. That is why I agreed to the Palace Master’s request. I also hope that within five years, my strength will increase tremendously."

Ye Shiyuan was already incredibly powerful. Yet he was still not satisfied.

With someone so driven to improve himself, what were other people supposed to do?

"Then where are you planning to go to gain experience?"

"Near Heiyuan City."

"That place is close to the Demon Clan, and it is also close to the Devil Clan. You are really going there?"

Heiyuan City was an extremely strange place.

Very few people lived there, yet there was indeed a group of people who made their home in that area.

Back when Bai He was in the Lingguang Sect, he had already heard about that place.

Even his senior brothers and senior sister had been unwilling to go there.

There were no followers of the path of immortal cultivation in that place.

If something happened there, no one would know about it.

Even less would anyone come to help them.

Some of the people there remained kindhearted.

Others had long since been influenced by those around them.

They had become neither truly human nor truly ghost, committing every imaginable evil deed.

Bai He had originally been thinking about whether he should accompany Ye Shiyuan on this journey to gain experience.

However, if the destination was Heiyuan City, then he really needed to think it over carefully.

"Master, what is wrong?"

Bai He raised his head with a smile. "Shiyuan, why don’t you choose another place instead? What is so good about Heiyuan City?"

"Why should I choose another place? Master, are you planning to come with me? Or are you afraid?"

The series of questions left Bai He completely unsure of how to answer and a trace of anger appeared on his face. "Say that again. Who exactly are you calling afraid?"

"You are not afraid?"

"I have never even been to Heiyuan City before. What is there to be afraid of?"

Bai He stubbornly refused to admit it.

Ye Shiyuan let out a soft sigh and said, "Whether Master is afraid or not, it does not matter. In any case, you do not need to come with me. A place like that is not suitable for you."

Bai He pursed his lips. "Why? Have you been to Heiyuan City before?"

Ye Shiyuan’s expression darkened slightly. "It would be better if Master does not know about it. There is no need for a place like that to be known."

Ye Shiyuan waved his hand and the scene before them suddenly brightened.

Countless points of light appeared, creating an extremely beautiful sight.

It was as if the stars in the sky had fallen down.

They sparkled brightly as they danced through the air.

Bai He’s eyes seemed to contain the same light, his gaze becoming soft and gentle.

Later, Bai He did not even know how he returned.

All he knew was that after Ye Shiyuan transformed him into a flower and in the blink of an eye, he was already back inside Ye Shiyuan’s room.

He fell asleep in a dazed state.

Then, the next day arrived.

Only then did Bai He realize that he had already changed from a flower back into a person.

He was lying on Ye Shiyuan’s bed.

As for Ye Shiyuan, he had disappeared somewhere long ago.

"Host, are you troubled by something?"

"Shiyuan’s birthday. I need to give him a gift. But what kind of gift should I give him?"

"Host, as long as it is something you give him, Ye Shiyuan will definitely like it. Of course, you cannot give him a green hat."

Bai He fiercely rolled his eyes at Mo Zhu.

At a time like this, it still had the mood to joke around.

How could it even think of suggesting something like giving a green hat?

A green hat was innocent, alright?

The people who casually gave a green hat its meaning were the ones who were at fault.

A long, long time ago, a green hat was simply just a green colored hat.

"Why don’t you ask Zhang Youxia for help, Host?"

Since Bai He could not let Ye Shiyuan know, the only solution was to find Zhang Youxia.

No matter what, Zhang Youxia could barely be considered somewhat reliable.

"Knock, knock."

The sound of knocking interrupted Bai He’s thoughts.

Was Ye Shiyuan back?

Bai He quickly ran over and opened the door.

"Little Master, these are the Snow Peaches that Shiyuan asked me to bring you. They are the ones you like."

"Thank you." Bai He thanked him and brought the Snow Peaches into the room. He then asked, "Can you help me with something?"
