Chapter 359: Chapter 262 Like Waves and Tides_2

"Why, why... am I so ugly now..."

Tie Dan glanced at her,

"Nonsense, you weren’t that pretty before. Do you want it or not?"

"I want, I want!"

And so, the two of them finished eating the chaotic stew, and indeed restored quite a bit of Qi power.

After all, what mortals see as demons, mountain men see as treasures!

Nearly a hundred Golden Core demons, plus three Nascent Soul Great Demons, this huge pile of materials could easily make a batch of elixir, but now it’s boiled and eaten directly, making the Old Xuan Sect lament the waste.

So it goes without saying, Tie Dan recovered the Essence Blood he had exhausted, and even Xing Yuanzhi, slowly stewed for ten days, managed to regain some breathing Qi, heal, and sustain life, visibly recovering.

Indeed, swallowing a Golden Core means my fate is not dictated by heaven. After all, the mountain man is no longer a mere mortal.

Tie Dan still wanted to chase a fox, and couldn’t spare much time here. Seeing the wind and snow had stopped, he wiped his sword and looked at Yuanzhi.

"Are you ready? Can you die now?"

Having eaten and drunk to satisfaction, with injuries temporarily healed, Xing Yuanzhi composed her emotions, stabilizing her Daoist Heart,

"Thank you, senior brother, for saving me. Now that I’ve survived this tribulation, I must not speak lightly of life and death. However, my meridians are now broken, rendering me akin to a cripple. I ask senior brother to carry me further."

"..."

Tie Dan sharpened his sword with an unwilling look.

Xing Yuanzhi quickly added,

"Our Qingtang Sect has a Heavenly Clothes Secret Manual, which can transform True Qi into Ling Luo silk, an Immortal Robe for body protection. Now that my Qi power has somewhat recovered, I can wrap it around senior brother’s back, ensuring I’m no burden!

Heading northeast for a hundred miles, there’s Jing Mountain. To the south lies the Salt Pond, the north overlooks Shaoze. On it, jade grows, under it, gold is plentiful, on Shanyang grows azure jade, beneath the mountain red roots, crimson grass, and Qin pepper flourish.

This mountain is an Earth Vein of Kan State, a feng shui treasure land occupied by our Wangwu Mountain for a Daoist field, hence it’s been under demon attacks for days. This time, while patrolling the mountains, I fell into an ambush and was captured by the Demon Clan.

I humbly request senior brother to take me back, the Mystic Sect will surely reward you with Soldier Repelling Coins, and our Wangwu Mountain will also give a generous reward. I, a helpless woman, will forever remember senior brother’s great kindness!"

Though Tie Dan was still thinking of killing the fox, he was ultimately a rational person, knowing well enough which was more important, venting his anger or the Mystic Sect’s reward.

After all, this northern trip was to earn points and gain achievements, aiming at the Cloud Platform for the bird’s position. Since the request was put this way, might as well help to the end.

So Tie Dan strapped Xing Yuanzhi on his back and soared through the snow, heading north, riding the wind.

"But you’ve been caught for ten days, and no fellow disciples came to rescue you? Seems like your reputation isn’t that great."

Could it be they couldn’t calculate through the cauldron? Better to carry the cauldron along just in case...

Suddenly stabbed in the heart, Xing Yuanzhi fell silent and sighed softly,

"Perhaps all the Inner Sect disciples were summoned back, and as for the Outer Door ones, they lack power despite having the intent..."

"The Inner Sect went back? What do so many monsters want returning?"

"Uh, senior brother isn’t aware, the Immortal Palace lost, eighty thousand troops utterly defeated, Genzhou in urgent crisis..."

"Oh."

So Xing Yuanzhi recounted the disgrace of the Immortal Palace, and Tie Dan wasn’t surprised at all.

Defeated, as expected.

Kidding me? I’ve seen what kind of people serve under the Stone Dragon, and what kind of people the Immortal Palace has firsthand, no guessing needed.

No matter how skilled the Stone Dragon himself is, his men are Light Cavalry trained in the Great General’s warfare! The thirteen hundred thousand guard border army of Genzhou was annihilated, deaths in defeat, and you thought sending a mere eighty thousand conscripted capital camp juniors would face them in open field battle? Ridiculous?

Can’t even imagine whom they regularly train against. Ah, damn, those are not humans! Those are demons! Even the demons there have learned to team up after facing those Light Cavalry!

These days, if you don’t team up, you’re waiting to die. The era when a Golden Core realm could travel the Jianghu alone with a sword, roaming the world, is almost over. Even True Cultivation Mystics facing hundreds to thousands of demons have to go into the pot. Though as strong as Tie Dan, it’s laborious for him to tackle hundreds of demons at once.

It seems the Golden Core Realm can’t keep up with the times, but if Tie Dan crosses the tribulation and forms a Nascent Soul now, his hard-earned Heavenly Ruin Sword Qi would be wasted.

Though Luo Hou Jidu is too niche and can be ignored for now with the Formless Sword covering it, the flaws in Returning Dust and Sun’s Qi Techniques have persisted too long. Must quickly gather the Cultivation Techniques, at least forge the Taiji Five Qi and Yin Yang Dual Luminaries into the Seven Swords to form the sword infant...

For a moment, Tie Dan and Yuanzhi both harbored their concerns, remaining silent, but with Tie Dan riding the wind and escaping, making swift progress, they soon flew over a hundred miles of snowy plains, spotting a dark green lake from afar. The vegetation by the lake was frosted, distant mountains were snow-capped, yet the surface of this lake wasn’t fully frozen.

This place was the Salt Pond south of Jing Mountain. All year, the lake basin’s surface brimmed with brine, and the lake bed shores crystallized with salt, one glance revealing a snow-white, shimmering salt beach. Under the blue sky, with rippling waves and a silver-draped landscape, it was dazzlingly beautiful.

"Though Jing Mountain is also a feng shui treasure land, this time our Mystic Sect truly set eyes on this Salt Pond.

This Salt Pond has enormous output, not only supplying the needs of Kan Country but also being exported to Qian, Gen, and Dui States, and even merchants from the Western Regions come to purchase it.

Whoever controls this Salt Pond can greatly enhance sect tribute, relieving the financial pressure."
