73: Chapter 73 Wanling City 73: Chapter 73 Wanling City “Elder Zhang, I can refine the Yin Yang Balance Pill for you, but I hope you can promise me one thing,” Mu Can said solemnly.

Some things are better clarified in advance, of course, if Elder Zhang is unwilling to agree to his request, then Mu Can would not force him.

However, at that time, the Yin Yang Balance Pill would no longer be free.

“Just say it,” Elder Zhang’s face was full of anticipation, after all, a matter he had been looking forward to for nearly twenty years was finally seeing a turning point.

It would definitely be untrue to say he wasn’t thrilled.

“I would like you to help guard the Mu Family for a while after you have recovered,” Mu Can said, believing that Elder Zhang would agree to his request.

As expected, upon hearing Mu Can’s words, a smile appeared on Elder Zhang’s face, and he quickly responded.

“I thought it was something difficult.

It happens that I also need to stay in a place quietly for a few years.

This request is no problem at all,” Elder Zhang agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Elder Zhang agree so readily, a satisfied smile also appeared on Mu Can’s face.

“Three days from now, I will deliver the Yin Yang Balance Pill to you,” Mu Can said as he rose to his feet.

“Then I shall eagerly await the good news,” Elder Zhang also got up, saying repeatedly.

After seeing Mu Can off the building, Elder Zhang pulled out a jade box and gently handed it to Mu Can.

Mu Can was taken aback but did not take the jade box.

“This is the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus,” Elder Zhang gently opened the jade box, and a lotus emitting a faint chill was quietly lying inside the box.

“Elder Zhang, you should take this back with you for now.

It won’t be too late to give it to me once I bring back the Yin Yang Balance Pill,” Mu Can declined, not that he didn’t want the Snow Lotus, but it felt like taking something for nothing if he took it now.

After some polite refusals, Mu Can still did not accept the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

Elder Zhang did not insist further and turned around to walk up the building after sending Mu Can off.

“Sister Purple Cloud, is it difficult to refine the Yin Yang Balance Pill?

How has he been searching for it for twenty years?” Mu Can asked, puzzled.

Purple Cloud laughed lightly and proudly said, “The most difficult part of the Yin Yang Balance Pill is still the main ingredient.

Because the main ingredient is hard to find, the difficulty of refining this elixir is so high.

However, here in the Reincarnation Pearl, the most important main ingredient of the Yin Yang Balance Pill is as common as weeds.”

“Ah?

So that’s the case.

No wonder the Elder has been searching for so many years and still hasn’t found it,” Mu Can said with a look of realization.

“He also has another problem; the Elixir Recipe for the Yin Yang Balance Pill is also rare.

While elixirs for the soul are common in the Immortal World, they are rather rare in the Mortal World,” Purple Cloud continued lightly.

The Mortal World emphasizes cultivating the body, while the Immortal World focuses on cultivating the soul.

Because the focuses are different, the Pill Masters of the two worlds are skilled in different areas.

Not far from Wanling Mountain is Wanling City, where most residents are Demon Beasts, and a small portion of Cultivators who come here to trade.

The City Lord here is a Demon Beast from within Wanling Mountain.

Wanling Mountain has always been a part of the Mortal World, but it has always been low-key.

Not only low-key but also never involved in the conflicts of the Mortal World.

However, being low-key does not mean they lack presence.

Many forces have tried to woo Wanling Mountain.

Such a large force joining any side could instantly change the situation in the Mortal World.

However, the four Elders of Wanling Mountain strictly prohibited Wanling Mountain from taking sides.

They weren’t foolish.

Wanling Mountain’s relatively transcendent status was precisely because they chose non-involvement.

Once they took a side, they wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences of the broken balance.

“Big Bear, where do you think we should go to find that kid?” a thin figure asked the little plump one beside him who was eating heartily.

“Ugh, almost choked to death.” The little chubby kid put down the pancake in his hand and took a big gulp of water.

“What did you say?” Finally swallowing the food stuck in his throat, the little chubby kid asked in confusion.

The skinny figure behind him was carrying a stick taller than himself, and shook his head at the sight of the little chubby kid.

“All you know is eating and not using your brain.

We’ve already come down the mountain, where do we find the Myriad Spirit Death Order now?” Only demon beasts native to the Wanling Mountain Range can sense the Myriad Spirit Death Order, and they have to be within a certain distance.

The little chubby kid started dealing with the big pancake in his hand again, “The food down here in the mountain is just so tasty.”

“Ah.” Sighing helplessly, the monkey touched its forehead.

Really don’t know if finding a partner to look for the Myriad Spirit Death Order was the right call.

These two figures were none other than the monkey and the giant bear who came down the mountain in pursuit of Mu Can.

No clue how they were transformed into human forms after descending the mountain.

Just like them, many other demon beasts were also transformed.

As soon as the Myriad Spirit Death Order was issued, the ancestors lifted the ban on the Wanling Mountain Range.

Most demon beasts chose to come down the mountain to try their luck – a slot in the Spiritual Energy Storm is worth them cracking skulls over.

“Forget it, let’s keep heading east.” Looking at the foodie beside him, he wondered if the supplies he brought from the mountain would be enough for him.

If this guy wasn’t so formidable in battle, there’s no way he would have come down the mountain with him.

Taking the little chubby kid with him, he entered the only Treasure Pavilion in Wanling City.

The owner of the Treasure Pavilion in the new citizens’ town was a middle-aged man with a goatee and eyes that were always slightly squinted, but from time to time, a sharp glint flashed that made people realize he was no ordinary man.

“Uncle Yang, I want to exchange for some Spirit Crystals.” The skinny young man entered the Treasure Pavilion with the little chubby kid, placed a small bag on the table, and spoke to the owner.

The middle-aged man with the goatee was surnamed Yang, and his true form was a demon beast goat, responsible for exchanging demon beasts’ possessions for Spirit Crystals used for transactions in the Human Clan.

“Little monkey, so you’re also looking for the Myriad Spirit Death Order?” The middle-aged man with the goatee idly fiddled with the little bag, speaking to the skinny youngster.

As fellow demon beasts, Uncle Yang immediately recognized the little monkey’s true form, especially since the monkey had often snuck down the mountain to play in the town before and was already familiar with Uncle Yang.

Even in human form, beings of the demon beast clan could recognize each other’s true forms at a glance.

“Yeah, I want to take a shot at it, it’s a slot in the Spiritual Energy Storm after all.” The little monkey mentioned the Spiritual Energy Storm with a face full of longing.

“Hehe, then I wish you good luck, ten Spirit Crystals.” Uncle Yang gently took the little bag and tossed ten Spirit Crystals to the little monkey.

The little monkey caught the Spirit Crystals and was about to say goodbye when Uncle Yang threw him a map.

“Here’s a rough map of the Mortal World right now; don’t you two get lost.

Also, when you’re in other towns, don’t trust people so easily.” Uncle Yang gave a word of advice, worried that these two juniors would be taken advantage of by others.

“Got it.

You sound just like my granny.” The little monkey glanced at the map in his hand and said impatiently.

“Let’s go, Uncle Yang.” Looking at the map, he pulled the little chubby kid and left the Treasure Pavilion.

PS: Happy New Year, everyone.
