Chapter 69: Extra Gain

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Go to the depths of Yunze Mountains?”

Xu Ning did not expect this request to ever be asked of him.

“Yes.”

Wei Binglin nodded.

Uncle Wei Changqing had designated Xu Ning as their guide.

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng heard from their uncle that Xu Ning had lived near Yunze Mountains and was experienced in traversing the mountain range, so he recommended Xu Ning.

Wei Changqing also told the two that Xu Ning’s talent was quite good, and that he was likely to enter the Source Faction in the future and become an official disciple of the Source Faction.

Xu Ning did not immediately agree, but instead said, “Although I don’t know what you two are going to do in Yunze Mountains, I have to remind you that Yunze Mountains are extremely dangerous, filled with poisonous insects, plants, and even demon beasts.”

.

Although Xu Ning had never seen a demon beast, everyone in the Tao Village knew that in the inner circle of Yunze Mountains, near Luoyue Lake, there were beasts that were beyond the ordinary realm.

Those demon beasts possessed human-like wisdom, terrifying abilities, and powerful muscles. They were close to the power of a mortal realm seventh stage, and were almost unkillable.

“If you really want to enter the depths of Yunze Mountains, you must have at least the strength of a mortal realm seventh stage.”

Xu Ning reminded them.

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng were not surprised when they heard Xu Ning’s warning. “Don’t worry, Brother Xu. You don’t have to worry about our safety.”

Seeing how confident Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng were, Xu Ning realized that he might have underestimated the two of them.

“My sister and I have trained to the mortal realm seventh stage, and we have guards for extra protection. Our safety in Yunze Mountains won’t be a problem.”

Wei Binglin’s words shocked Xu Ning a little.

These two people looked younger than him, but they had already reached the mortal realm seventh stage.

Tao Jingxing, the Patriarch of the Tao Village, was only in the mortal realm sixth stage.

‘Are the people in Yunying City this powerful?’

Wei Zicheng could guess what Xu Ning was thinking. With a smile, Wei Zicheng said, “Brother Xu, don’t be surprised. My brother and I came from the Wei Clan in Yunying City. We have abundant resources in our family. We started to practice martial arts when we were six years old, and only when combined with our top tier talent, were we able to achieve our current results.”

“I heard from my uncle that in Kangyun County, the earliest age one would start cultivation is twelve years old, and the resources here are relatively scarce. It is already impressive for you to reach the qi realm in this kind of environment. If you have the opportunity to enter the Source Faction in the future, you will greatly improve.”

When Wei Zicheng said this, she was not trying to compliment Xu Ning, as she truly believed that Xu Ning was talented.

After hearing her uncle Wei Changqing talk about the martial arts environment in Kangyun County, Wei Zicheng felt that it was not easy for someone to obtain Xu Ning’s current achievements.

Xu Ning smiled and shook his head when he heard this. “You’re too kind.”

Although Xu Ning knew that Wei Zicheng’s words might not be sincere, he still sensed Wei Zicheng’s respect towards him.

Commander Wei seemed to value him quite a bit.

“Since our safety is not a problem, then I will take the two of you into the mountains.”

Since they had the right conditions, Xu Ning did not refuse to do them a favor.

Anyway, now that the leads to the Magic Faction had not yet been further explored yet, there was nothing important for him to do.

“If that is the case, thank you, Brother Xu.”

Wei Binglin thanked him. “The horses are already outside the door. Will it be possible for us to leave now?”

“No problem.”

Xu Ning responded.

As soon as they left the guard station, Xu Ning saw several tall horses outside the door.

Xu Ning had never seen such valiant horses before.

The height of the horses reached at least 2.5 meters. They were packed with muscles, with magnificent shiny hair. Their hooves were thick and sturdy. One could see them breathing deep and heavily.

They gave people an oppressive feeling.

“These horses are quite magnificent.”

Xu Ning sighed.

“These horses are demon beast descendants, so they’re more energetic than ordinary horses.”

Wei Binglin explained to Xu Ning, “Don’t judge them by their fierce appearance. Once they’re tamed, they have a very docile personality. Brother Xu, you can try one of them out.”

He personally handed Xu Ning a crop.

After Xu Ning took it, he walked up to a big horse and stroked its hair, then climbed on the horse.

After getting on the horseback, Xu Ning sat down firmly.

“I’m ready! Let’s go!”

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng also got on their horses quickly.

Following behind the three of them were two guards, both of which were mortal realm eighth stage warriors. They would protect the three of them once they entered Yunze Mountains.

In fact, the two mortal realm seventh stage guards could have also come with Wei Zicheng and Wei Binglin, but because there were not enough horses, the two additional guards did not accompany them on their journey.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

The horses galloped.

‘So fast!’

Xu Ning could feel an adrenaline rush coming.

Riding at such a speed was addicting.

Within an hour, everyone had already arrived at the foot of Yunze Mountains.

Because Xu Ning chose the shortest path, they did not pass by the Tao Village along the way.

“These are Yunze Mountains.”

Xu Ning said.

The two did not say why they were coming to Yunze Mountains, and Xu Ning did not ask why either.

“Looking from here, Yunze Mountains are indeed a place full of wilderness and nature, no wonder Senior Liu settled here.”

Wei Zicheng looked at the high mountains and white clouds in the distance.

“Settled? In Yunze Mountains?”

When Xu Ning heard this, he realized that the two were looking for someone in the depths of Yunze Mountains.

He had never thought would ever live in Yunze Mountains.

“Brother Xu, you should know where Luoyue Lake is, right?”

Wei Binglin asked Xu Ning.

“I do.”

Xu Ning nodded.

He did in fact know.

According to the widely circulated rumor in the Tao Village, the previous patriarch of the Tao Village was a strong warrior in the mortal realm seventh stage.

He told his people that Luoyue Lake was in the center of Yunze Mountains.

As long as one walked deep into the mountains in a straight line, one would find Luoyue Lake.

“Then Brother Xu, do please continue to lead the way.”

Wei Binglin gestured with his hands.

Xu Ning didn’t continue to hesitate. He went straight back on the horse.

This was the first time he had ridden a horse in Yunze Mountains.

The mountain paths were rugged and steep, but luckily the horses were extremely flexible. The terrain was steep and bumpy, but the horse ride was extremely smooth.

Soon, after passing through the outer circle, they arrived at the inner circle.

One of Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng’s guards took out something similar to an incense from their pocket and lit it.

A faint smoke spread from it, carrying a strong fragrance. The smoke was then blown away by the wind.

“This will protect us from poisonous insects.”

Wei Zicheng explained.

They were strong, so they were not afraid of common poisonous insects. This was more to protect Xu Ning.

In this world, warriors were powerful and almighty, so they were not afraid of poison.

However, natural poison from poisonous insects was completely different from man-made poison. In comparison, natural poison was much more lethal.

“What?”

After a while, Xu Ning suddenly discovered that there was a spirit medicine on a rock nearby.

It was a Jasper Grass, the first spirit medicine he had absorbed after coming to this world.

“What, Brother Xu?”

After seeing Xu Ning slow down, Wei Zicheng asked him.

“I found a spirit medicine.”

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

Wei Zicheng looked at Xu Ning and said with a smile, “If Brother Xu needs it, just go and pick it.”

“Um…”

Xu Ning was quite embarrassed.

After all, he was entrusted by them to help lead the way.

The only reason he could come here safely was because of the Wei siblings.

If he stopped to collect the spirit medicine, it would waste the siblings’ time.

“It’s okay, Brother Xu!”

Wei Binglin quickly said, “We both feel like we owe you, Brother Xu. If you find something you need here, feel free to take it.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Ning dismounted from the house to pick the Jasper Grass.
