Chapter 850: Chapter 346: Ji Yuan’s First Battle, the Might of the Core Formation Old Devil!
After finishing the conversation about this matter, Ji Yuan was just thinking of sending a message to Brother Wen, but unexpectedly he received Brother Wen’s message first.
He spoke of the Nine-Yao Stone exchange, saying there’s a way, but it requires some resources he doesn’t have, hence he sent a message to inquire.
Thus, before Ji Yuan set out, he hurried to meet Brother Wen.
The required resources were simple; only some magical artifacts were needed.
Two pieces of Nine-Yao Stone require the merit points exchanged from three magical artifacts to be sufficient.
After some consideration, Ji Yuan decided to trust!
He took out his “Red Wave Whip,” “Ocean-covering Pearl,” and “Poisonous Dragon Gourd,” which he wasn’t accustomed to or rarely used, as items for exchange.
Brother Wen saw his newly advanced friend could so casually produce three magical artifacts… it was somewhat shocking.
He accepted them easily and quickly laughed:
“We’ve just met not long ago, yet Brother Li dares to entrust such precious treasures. Such magnanimity truly makes me admire you!”
Brother Wen cupped his fists towards Ji Yuan and solemnly stated, “Rest assured Brother Li, Wen will not let down this trust.”
… No, if you dare to betray me, I’m confident I can kill you.
Ji Yuan smiled while saying, “Do not trust those you suspect, do not suspect those you trust. Brother Wen and I became friends at first sight, such external objects mean nothing.”
“Indeed.”
Brother Wen nodded with a smile.
No matter what, the feeling of being trusted is always good.
Especially being trusted so much by someone you’ve just met.
“No time to lose. I’ll handle this matter right away; Brother Li, wait for my good news.”
“Okay, I still need to go out to seek other materials for crafting the lifebound magical treasure. If Brother Wen can’t reach me, wait for me to contact you upon my return.”
“Hmm, Brother Li, be careful out there. If you’re outmatched, just use the name of our Black and White Divine Hall, and I’ll back you up.”
Brother Wen reassured with a pat on his chest.
“Alright.”
Ji Yuan nodded slightly.
After meeting Brother Wen, Ji Yuan felt relieved of a significant burden and promptly returned to the Cave Mansion to prepare his belongings.
It was only the next morning that he quietly transformed into escape light and left, meeting up with Cyan Furnace Wanderer and Mr. Iron Talisman at the East City Gate of West Border City, then flying east together.
En route, Cyan Furnace Wanderer sent messages to Ji Yuan, introducing related matters.
“The place where the Ice Flame Lotus grows is in a cave within the depths of the Celestial Killer Mountain range. I discovered it by chance twenty years ago while chasing a Gold-devouring Rat during a mountain herb gathering.”
“But at that time, the Ice Flame Lotus hadn’t matured, and I didn’t want to waste such a treasure, so I set up an array restriction to conceal it. Now, it’s probably nearing maturity.”
“I see.”
Ji Yuan responded via transmission.
The Celestial Killer Mountain range is itself a vast mountain range of unknown length and size, with the Celestial Killer Mountain, one of the Eight Holy Lands, occupying just a small part.
The rest is still a considerable unowned land.
Here, demon beasts roam, and Earth Treasures grow, making it a treasure hunting ground for countless cultivators.
The prosperity of West Border City owes partly to the nearby Endless Sea to the west, and partly to this Celestial Killer Mountain range.
These mountains and seas sustain countless cultivators in West Border City.
One could even say that the Celestial Killer Mountain, one of the Eight Holy Lands, survives thanks to this mountain range.
Ji Yuan knows this fact but has never been here before; this is his first time stepping into the Celestial Killer Mountain range.
Despite being close to the mountain range, it still took Ji Yuan and his companions over half a month to reach it from West Border City.
This singular point reveals the vastness of Jiyuan Continent.
“After entering the mountains, you two be on alert. These days, Tier Three Demon Beasts frequently wander to the outskirts for unknown reasons, popping up unexpectedly, so beware of mishaps.”
Cyan Furnace Wanderer, being a Pill Cultivator, often ventures into these woods, making him the most experienced among the three.
Ji Yuan nodded, discreetly releasing his Divine Sense.
Previously in West Border City, he didn’t dare to use it to its full extent.
Strictly speaking, this was his first time fully releasing his Divine Sense since reaching Core Formation.
Soon, he discovered the limits of his Divine Sense.
li!
The area covering 100 li in radius was engulfed by his Divine Sense.
Previously in the Fake Pill Realm, his Divine Sense could cover at most 50 li around.
So after Core Formation, his Divine Sense doubled!
“100 li, normally it’s the Divine Sense level of late-stage Core Formation. Based on this, my mid-stage Core Formation’s Divine Sense matches the peak of Core Formation. If I reach late-stage Core Formation… my Divine Sense might compare to a Nascent Soul?!”
Thinking of the Nascent Soul, Ji Yuan’s heart rate quickened.
Nascent Soul great power.
This is the lifelong dream for all cultivators… Ji Yuan subtly adjusted his breathing, suppressing his excitement, then followed Mr. Iron Talisman and Cyan Furnace Wanderer deeper into the Celestial Killer Mountain range.
With the combined efforts of three Core Formation cultivators, the escape light effect was quite imposing, even frightening away a Tier Three Broadback Ape.
It was only upon reaching the middle section of the Celestial Killer Mountain range that Cyan Furnace Wanderer suggested landing.
Flying around so prominently would attract too much attention.
After all, the real danger in the Celestial Killer Mountain range isn’t the demon beasts, rather… the cultivators!
