Pursuing Wind City

The living place of Su Luan.

“Have you heard from your sister lately?” Xu Mu broke the silence.

“No!”

Worry was evident in Su Luan’s eyes.

In the past, she would receive a letter and some Spirit Stones from her sister every six months at the latest, but it had almost been a year now and there was still no word.

She didn’t lack Spirit Stones, but she was worried about her sister’s safety.

“Don’t worry! Once I’m done with my tasks, if there’s still no news, I’ll take you to search for her!” Xu Mu said, pinching Su Luan’s nose gently.

“Hmm! Thank you, senior!”

Su Luan’s eyes curved like a crescent moon, feeling blissful as she nestled into his arms.

Calculating the time of the spatial rift’s opening, Xu Mu left Su Luan’s residence and the Pursuing Wind City. He released his flying sword and hopped onto it, guiding it like a red ray of light, flying toward the location of the isolated island.

Through the vast sea of clouds, the sword shot out!

“We are here!”

He angled the sword downwards, piercing through the cloud layer. As Xu Mu came closer to the ground, he leaped off and lightly landed on the ground, his Spirit Sword shrank and flew back into his sleeve.

After a sweep of his Divine Intent to make sure no one was nearby, he squeezed the Finger Jue. A brown light enveloped him.

The next moment, he melted into the ground as if he was made of water.

To save on talismans and avoid trouble, he had long since learned the Earth Escape Skill, so he didn’t need the Land Collapse Talisman every time.

Without any obstacles, he reached the stone chamber and stared at the already opened spatial rift, frozen in place.

“What’s going on?”

He calculated the time with his fingers, there should still be two hours left until Chen hour.

And also—

“A lake?”

Through the person-high spatial rift, instead of seeing the familiar jungle and mountains, Xu Mu saw a vast, emerald green lake that seemed close at hand.

He didn’t remember a large lake being near the spatial rift in the Cloud Peak Mountain Range.

“Did the location shift, or did it change entirely? Also, the opening time is wrong!”

Xu Mu frowned and didn’t rush in to investigate.

He thought of the person who had built the stone chamber.

Maybe they never returned because they entered a new domain.

He watched the rift, patiently observing. The rift that usually disappeared in a moment remained unchanged after an hour.

“The existence time of the rift also increased. It might even stay open forever!”

“Could it be that it’s impossible to return?”

Xu Mu’s face turned grim.

If he couldn’t return to Liyang Sect, not only would he lose a source of income, it might also be difficult to see Si Tan’er and Chi Feiyan again.

At that moment, with a splash, a hundred-meter-long fish, covered in black scales, leaped out of the lake, vigorously swung its tail, splashing crystal clear water, and then fell heavily back into the lake.

Seeing this, Xu Mu wasn’t surprised, because he’d already witnessed similar scenes three times.

There’s more than one giant aquatic monster living in this emerald green lake.

Although he couldn’t sense their aura through the spatial rift, judging by their size alone, they must have at least tier-four strength.

Xu Mu had never been underwater before; this was his first encounter with a tier-four or higher aquatic monster beast.

While the Cang Ming Ocean Territory has many sea monsters, most of them are concentrated in the Outer Sea, whereas Xu Mu has been circling just the Inner Sea, never once venturing into the Outer Sea.

“This lake doesn’t appear too large, yet there are so many tier four monsters, it seems that the spiritual energy there is very concentrated!”

Monster beasts possess robust territorial instincts, particularly those at tier four or above. Even deep within the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, one typically needs to venture too to 200 miles to encounter one.

After all, resources are limited. According to the intensity of the spiritual energy in the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, too to 200 miles could only sustain one tier four monster beast.

When there is a significant number of monster beasts, there is usually one explanation: the spiritual energy is highly concentrated, providing adequate resources.

“Could it be a secret realm, or perhaps nearby an as yet undiscovered large spirit vein?”

Based on the density of the monster beasts, the concentration of spiritual energy on the opposite side could be several times greater than where he is.

Such a high concentration of spiritual energy could only be found near a large spirit vein, within a secret realm, or in a formation arranged by someone. Either way, it represents a huge opportunity!

A higher level of spiritual energy increases the chances of encountering treasures.

Furthermore, even just hunting monster beasts alone could bring a lot of gains for Xu Mu.

With his current strength, hunting tier four or five monster beasts is not a challenge. The real difficulty is finding these beasts.

Monster beasts are not stupid. If they detect a powerful adversary, they will flee or hide.

This is precisely why the price of monster beast materials remains high in the market.

Given the large quantity of monsters on the other side, the difficulty of hunting would naturally decrease.

It could be said that the current spatial rift presents considerable temptation to any cultivator.

However, after half a day of observation, Xu Mu chose to leave.

Although he did not understand the specific principle behind the existence of this spatial rift, nor why it suddenly moved locations, with the mysterious disappearance of its former master in mind, Xu Mu decided not to take the risk.

Perhaps after some time, it would revert back to its original state.

Even though he couldn’t see Si Tan’er and Chi Feiyan for now, both were already at the Foundation Establishment Stage and had joined the Liyang Sect. As long as he didn’t deliberately seek trouble, there should be no major danger.

Xu Mu had plenty of time to wait. There was no need to risk his life for immediate gains.

“So much for my plan to sell Foundation Establishment Pills!”

He had wanted to make a large profit, but it looked like he would have to wait a while longer.

Xu Mu shook his head helplessly, exited from the interior of the island, and planned to return after a period of time to further observe the situation.

Of course, he wouldn’t be idle during this time, he could just sell the Stay Age Pills he had accumulated.

Although it couldn’t compare to selling Foundation Establishment Pills, it was still a considerable income, enough to sustain his family’s cultivation for a short while.

“Huh? It came so quickly?”

Xu Mu looked up at the sky and realized that the previously clear sky was now covered with thin dark clouds.

He did some calculations with his fingers.

It turns out, the storm season, which occurs every three years, was about to arrive!

In the Cang Ming Ocean Territory, every three years a period of extreme weather lasting for three to four months would occur. Torrential rain, typhoons, hail and other extreme weather events would frequently appear, caused the ordinary people to stop going out to sea. They called this period the storm season.

For ordinary people and cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage, this kind of weather greatly affected their lives. But he would be fine as long as he was careful.

This time, he didn’t fly high in the sky, but instead rode his flying sword close to the water surface, heading towards Pursuing Wind City.

Upon returning home, Xu Mu left the Foundation Establishment Pills behind, took all of the premium Stay Age Pills he had prepared, and boarded a flying boat towards Illusional Sea City, ten thousand miles away.

Illusional Sea City is the largest city for cultivators within a ten thousand mile radius and also the place with the most female cultivators.

And the target demographic for Xu Mu’s Stay Age Pills are female cultivators, especially older, higher-tier ones.

“I hope I won’t encounter any trouble and can make a good profit!”
