Chapter 1242 - 1242 1202 Arriving at Bai Yan City

1242: Chapter 1202: Arriving at Bai Yan City 1242: Chapter 1202: Arriving at Bai Yan City The next morning, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng mounted their horses together, ready to head to Bai Yan City.

At the entrance of the yard, after the two men were on horseback, Jyang Ran, Gu Xiaorou, and Gu Xiaosang came out.

“Hey, are you two eloping?” Jyang Ran asked, hands on her hips.

“What are you talking about?

We’re going to take care of some business.” Dongfang Cheng responded.

“What kind of business that can’t be seen?

Are you going to the brothel?”

Jyang Ran continued to press aggressively.

“Why so many questions?

We’re going to Bai Yan City to slay Demon Beasts and collect materials.

It’s not a big deal, so you three just go back and stay put.”

Gu Xiaorou slightly frowned, “Why suddenly go there to kill Demon Beasts?

Is it dangerous?”

Lu Chuan explained, “Because we need to get materials from the bodies of the Demon Beasts to forge equipment, so just stay here.

We will be back by evening; Bai Yan City is not far from Hei Jin City.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaorou and the others did not ask further.

“I think these two are just sneaking off on a trip without us!” Gu Xiaosang said discontentedly.

“Alright, let’s trust what Lu Chuan said and go back to wait, he’ll be back by tonight.”

Gu Xiaorou said.

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng rode their horses out of Hei Jin City and began heading northeast.

Half a day’s journey, and they could see the location of Bai Yan City.

“Lu Chuan, if we can’t find the exact location of the Demon Beast right away, would it possibly delay us till the second or third day?”

“Then there’s nothing we can do.

Once we get there, we’ll try our best to find it.

If we can find it, we’ll quickly get the materials.

If not, we’ll just have to keep waiting.”

Lu Chuan said helplessly.

The two fast horses galloped on the road.

Soon, Bai Yan City came into view for both of them.

Bai Yan City’s walls were completely grayish-white, making them quite conspicuous.

The surrounding lakes were also all pristine, tinged with a touch of clear blue.

Above the salt lakes, many workers could be seen transporting salt.

The main industry of Bai Yan City is salt sales, which is a solid commodity, so this city is also one of the main sources of income for the Dongfang family.

Compared to Hei Jin City, it is equally impressive if not more.

Approaching Bai Yan City, the lakes along the roadside were pristine white; the piled-up salt mines looked particularly inviting.

“These, they call them ‘white gold’ around here, are quite valuable and can sell for a lot of money,” Dongfang Cheng explained, pointing around.

“I certainly know that, being able to run a salt business in such an environment is absolutely not simple, only giants like the Lu family and Dongfang family are qualified.”

Lu Chuan looked into the distance, seeing holes in several hills.

Those holes might be hiding the White Light Pythons they were looking for.

“Are those so-called White Light Pythons common around here?”

“Honestly, there are quite a few, but they are usually in remote positions, almost none near the city walls.”

“The edges of the salt lakes often attract wild animals to lick the salt, so the White Light Pythons can take that opportunity to hunt.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “But with so many lakes around, if we start looking, we definitely won’t find them right away.”

Dongfang Cheng then suggested, “How about this, let’s ask a local, maybe we can find some clues!”

Lu Chuan nodded decisively, “No problem, let’s do that, there seems to be an inn just up ahead!”

Lu Chuan pointed forward, where an inn stood beside the road.

Two people came riding on horses and tied them up in the yard before entering the post house.

As they opened the main door and entered the lobby, Lu Chuan was surprised to find it unusually quiet, with just one person in the corner.

The shopkeeper was hunched over an abacus, busy with calculations, making the whole lobby exceptionally calm.

After Lu Chuan entered, he walked towards the shopkeeper.

“Hello, I am here to inquire about something.”

“What do you want to ask?

It’s best not to ask about things that shouldn’t be asked!”

He said frantically.

“What’s wrong?”

“You seem so nervous, is there a problem?

Just tell me directly, please.”

Lu Chuan was getting impatient.

“Recently, it’s been unrestful outside the city, many people have disappeared, and folks dare not work in the outer salt lakes anymore, now the income is down, and everyone is having a hard time.”

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows tightened, “What?

Many people have disappeared?

Impossible.”

“Who did it?”

“Everyone speculates it’s the White Light Python outside the city.

Some also believe it’s because too many White Light Pythons have disappeared, and the surrounding salt lakes have attracted other various types of Demon Beasts, which is why people frequently go missing.”

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng, “Is that possible?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t been here much.”

“Well, I am here to kill the White Light Python, if it’s around here, I will act immediately.

Do you know the exact location of the White Light Python?”

The shopkeeper looked up at Lu Chuan and then decisively shook his head, “It’s impossible, you are no match for the White Light Python.

You would need at least a hunting squad, otherwise, by yourself, it would be quite difficult.”

Dongfang Cheng stepped forward, “Shopkeeper, do you recognize me?”

“You?

You look familiar.”

“I am the young master of the Dongfang family; never mind if you don’t recognize me.

I didn’t grow up here anyway.”

“But, I have to tell you, we absolutely have the capability to slaughter the White Light Python, you just need to tell us the location!”

The shopkeeper immediately became anxious, “You’re the young master of the Dongfang family?

Impossible, the young masters of the Dongfang family are people of noble status, traveling always in a grand sedan chair.”

“Stop talking nonsense, just tell us where the White Light Python is!”

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly, “Alright, I only heard people say it’s at this location.”

“You can go and see for yourselves, there are many snake nests in that area of hills, the largest one is harboring the biggest White Light Python.”

“If you do go there, be extra careful, too many people have disappeared in that area!”

“It’s better if you don’t go, it’s dangerous, you might just lose your lives there.”

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and said, “Then let’s go and check it out.”

“If we need the scales of the White Light Python, then obviously higher Cultivation is better.”

“I want to strike at the strongest one.”

Lu Chuan spoke seriously.

Hearing this, Dongfang Cheng also nodded in agreement, “Correct, if we are to kill, we must take down the strongest one to possibly enhance the chances of crafting an Immortal Artifact.”

Lu Chuan nodded with a smile, “Exactly, let’s set out right now.

No point in waiting here any longer!”

Lu Chuan turned to the shopkeeper, “How much for one of these maps?

I will take one!”

“Ah?

Are you really planning to go?”

Lu Chuan stated assertively: “Of course, I’ve already made myself very clear.”
