Chapter 860 - 765: Journey to Qingtian Mountain (2)

Shen Han nodded.

Regarding this Qilin Valley, Shen Han wasn’t too concerned.

He had obtained a complete and correct Pill Formula from a Qin Family elder, and his pill refining technique was flawless.

At Yun Mansion, the pill formation success rate was far superior to Qilin Valley’s.

With less waste of materials and less time needed, naturally, the pill didn’t have to be sold at such a high price.

With the current prices at Qilin Valley, they still feel somewhat at a loss.

In the past, getting a pill from Qilin Valley required quite the wait.

To see what Qilin Valley needed, you’d have to exchange something.

Having lived the good life, it seems Qilin Valley will find it hard to adjust in the short term.

"I’ve heard that Qu Zhongjin and Gan Mu were severely punished at Qilin Valley, accused of leaking core techniques and Pill Formula."

Upon hearing this, Shen Han chuckled.

"They overestimated their medicine-refining techniques and Pill Formula. With all the errors and issues, I’m really not impressed."

After the three of them took a short break, they each returned home.

Shen Han also decided that after some time, he would head to Qingtian Mountain with the elders from Five Immortals City.

As for their journey to Tiger Peak Manor, they could only patiently await the results.

Qingtian Mountain lies on the eastern side of the continent, and Five Immortals City must pass through Snowfield City on the way there.

Shen Han naturally chose not to take any pointless detours, simply waiting at home.

When the time was right, he would just meet them.

Southern Heavenly Continent is vast and distant, and Shen Han was truly not keen on wasting time traveling.

During these days, Shen Han spent time resting at home.

Every night, Shen Han would share insights gained from River Source Continent with Shi Yuezhu.

Shi Yuezhu could grasp what Shen Han conveyed, though her progress in enhancing her realm was slow.

Clearly, she hadn’t gone out adventuring for a long time.

Shi Yuezhu knew well that Shen Han presumably didn’t wish for her to leave, so she never brought it up.

After all, there’s still a powerful enemy outside, and Shi Yuezhu wasn’t the type of woman who loved to stir up trouble.

When everything settles, she could go out with Shen Han without rushing.

In the past, Shen Han didn’t really have a habit of staying in bed.

Back in Shen Mansion, Shen Han would rise early each day.

Whether busying with chores or practicing cultivation, he would get up as early as possible.

But ever since he got married, Shen Han felt a bit indulgent about staying in bed...

After resting for over a month, Shen Han received the news.

The group from Five Immortals City was nearing Snowfield City.

Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu went together, as many of Snowfield City’s industries had been acquired by Yun Mansion.

In Snowfield City, Shen Han could be considered somewhat of a host.

When the crowd from Five Immortals City arrived, he directly took care of everything, arranging matters accordingly.

At the banquet in the restaurant, Shen Han acting as if he were the host.

The leading figure this time was Dean Boliang, one of the four deans of Five Immortals City, also a mighty Illusion Realm fighter.

Moreover, his power within the Illusion Realm was quite formidable.

"Dean Boliang, isn’t it true that this time there aren’t many heading to Qingtian Mountain?"

Unable to resist, Shen Han asked during the banquet.

"This time, it’s just me leading the group. If any trouble arises along the way, how could I possibly protect such a bunch of talents on my own?

These direct disciples are all treasures to us; it’s better to be cautious."

From Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion, not even a tenth of the direct disciples came.

Yet what Dean Boliang said was true.

They were unlocked at the 7th layer and even the 8th layer.

Taking them out together, what if something goes wrong? Who would bear the responsibility?

After spending a night in Snowfield City, everyone set off the next day.

Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu together as hosts, covered all the expenses.

Among those going, besides the few from Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion, there were a few direct disciples Shen Han didn’t know.

Among the acquaintances, there was also Song Xiaobing.

Between the two sisters, only one came this time.

Upon seeing Shi Yuezhu beside Shen Han, Song Xiaobing only greeted Shen Han at first, not speaking further after that.

Regarding Shen Han’s reputation, most people in Southern Heavenly Continent should have heard of it.

The young people from Five Immortals City naturally knew better.

Shen Han’s attempted assassination of You Wanying caused quite the stir in Southern Heavenly Continent.

Now Shen Han was no longer compared with the younger generation.

Mentioning Shen Han, people now equated him with the core members of the sects.

After resting for a night in Snowfield City, and having breakfast the next day, everyone resumed their journey.

Seeing that Shen Han’s magical artifact wasn’t very convenient, Shen Han directly took out his flying vessel.

It’s said that each region has its specialties.

The flying magical artifacts crafted in Southern Heavenly Continent really left something to be desired.

Shi Yuezhu handled some matters in Snowfield City, arranged everything, and then returned home.

After flying for about six days, they arrived at the outskirts of Qingtian Mountain.

Even before approaching it, the Heavenly Phenomena could already be seen.

Qingtian Mountain soared into the clouds, its peak obscured by the clouds, with only its midsection visible.

"Later, all of you children should walk ahead of me, stay within my sight.

Many people come to Qingtian Mountain, more people mean more chaos, don’t let anything happen."

Saying this, everyone passed through the clouds, heading to the mountain’s summit.

Turning back, behind them was a vast sea of clouds.

After passing through the clouds, the sky above was an expanse of clarity.

The Heavenly Phenomena ahead was several times more magnificent than seen from afar.

Near the summit of Qingtian Mountain, there were at least close to a thousand people.

Various forces from Southern Heavenly Continent gathered here, hoping for some gain.

"This Heavenly Phenomenon has actually been present for a year, but initially, no one knew its nature.

Therefore, no one let their younger generations come, as who could tell if danger lurked within.

Yet for so long, nothing seems to have arisen.

Various families started bringing their younger generations, hoping they might gain some spiritual insights."

Saying this, Dean Boliang led everyone to the summit.

The summit of Qingtian Mountain wasn’t particularly spacious, but could accommodate thousands standing.

Up on the summit, the ground was packed firm underfoot from countless footsteps.

It seemed that quite a lot of people had indeed come.

Shen Han cast his gaze around, judging from the aura, it seemed there were approximately ten Illusion Realm practitioners present.

There were truly many people here today, various auras mixed together making it hard to detect hidden threats.

Shen Han was always prudent in his actions, given such circumstances, he stayed wary.

Though according to the message, nearing mid-autumn, You Wanying should be returning to Tiger Peak Manor.

Yet Shen Han maintained his vigilance out of habit.

With everyone atop the summit, their gazes fixed high in the sky, seemingly hoping to discern something.

"Previously, we considered whether this might be another portal connecting different realms.

But compared to the passages elsewhere, there seems to be quite a distinction.

The Heavenly Phenomenon before us carries a majestic aura, unlike any portal to other continents."

Dean Boliang explained to everyone, guiding them to meditate on insights.

Shen Han distanced himself slightly from the young disciples of Five Immortals City, trying instead to remain close to the talented disciples of other sects.

If any ambush from You Wanying and the others occurred here, attacking him might easily harm disciples of other sects.

If so, it would only create yet another opposing force for herself.

Unless You Wanying was foolish, she shouldn’t dare act as such.

But truth be told, Shen Han really wished to confront You Wanying again.

He held the Void-Breaking Sword left by an Immortal and bore the mysterious Spirit Devouring Mirror.

Additionally, his cultivation and realm had seen refinement during this period.

In a clash with You Wanying, he wouldn’t necessarily lose.
