Chapter 1337: A Trail of Dust

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: A Trail of Dust

Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou were surrounded by a group of strong characters, amidst a lively atmosphere, whereas the Black and White Demons were left in cold isolation, ignored by all.

The Black and White Demons exuded an air of cold indifference that seemed to distance others by a thousand miles, their aura chilling to the bone without being cold, hence people chose to respect them from afar and dared not approach.

Despite the neglect, the Black and White Demons were neither irate nor angry, appearing as if they have long grown accustomed to this, standing on two hills not far apart, with their eyes slightly closed as if they were old monks in meditation.

"The temperature around this Eternal Death Zone has always been high, but today it has suddenly dropped drastically, I wonder what the cause is..."

After exchanging pleasantries with Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou, Gu Yan steered the conversation to this topic.

Although Gu Yan did not believe that Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou could change the temperature of a thousand miles around the Eternal Death Zone with their own power, in fact, the temperature in this area had changed only after the two entered the Eternal Death Zone, making it difficult for others not to associate the change with them.

Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou exchanged a glance, then chuckled without confirming or denying anything.

Gu Yan scratched his head, not understanding the meaning behind their "chuckle," and had no choice but to laugh awkwardly along.

Fang Bai spoke seriously: "Elder Gu, we are also very interested in knowing the answer to that question."

Li Chenzhou echoed, "Indeed! The high temperature of the Eternal Death Zone has persisted for who knows how many years, why would it suddenly drop? Strange indeed!"

Not far away, the Black and White Demons’ lips twitched, barely holding back their laughter.

The high temperature of the Eternal Death Zone was caused by the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, and with the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire subdued by Fang Bai, the temperature had drastically dropped.

Apart from Fang Bai himself, only Li Chenzhou and the Black and White Demons knew about this. Seeing Fang Bai’s reluctance to speak of it, both Li Chenzhou and the Black and White Demons naturally kept silent.

Gu Yan observed their expressions and felt that Fang Bai and the others seemed to be hiding something, but since Fang Bai and the rest were Innate Experts of perfection, who were senior figures, even if Gu Yan was itching with curiosity, he dared not inquire.

"Manor Huang, I wish to borrow the Alchemy Room and Furnace Cauldron of your manor, may I have the convenience?"

Fang Bai promised to concoct some high-grade superior elixirs for Li Chenzhou and the Black and White Demons. Although he has two Furnace Cauldrons in his Spatial Ring, one obtained from the Martial Artists Trading Market has a somewhat outdated grade, not suitable for concocting the high-grade superior elixirs.

The other is the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron obtained from the secular world, its grade and level undetermined by Fang Bai, who thus presumed it to be a Spiritual Artifact surpassing Immortal Grade, like the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade.

With Fang Bai’s current Cultivation Level, he was unable to effectively control the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, nor could he use it to concoct elixirs.

Fang Bai had seen the Furnace Cauldron in the Alchemy Room of Golden Crow Manor, which was made from superior materials, perfectly suited for concocting high-grade superior elixirs.

"Senior Fang, please feel free to use it! If you need any alchemy materials, just let us know, and Golden Crow Manor will certainly strive to provide whatever you require!"

With Fang Bai wanting to borrow the manor’s Alchemy Room and Furnace Cauldron to concoct elixirs, Huang Canghai naturally agreed without hesitation, his face filled with excitement and delight.

Huang Canghai knew of Fang Bai’s profound skills in Alchemy, and now that he had become an Innate Expert, his Alchemy would certainly improve, rising to even greater heights. Such an Innate-level Alchemist, even if they failed their concoctions, would still be an invaluable Cultivation Resource for a Universe Level Expert like Huang Canghai.

Manor Huang Canghai made up his mind that after returning to the Golden Crow Manor, while Fang Bai was concocting Elixirs in the Alchemy Room, he himself would personally stand guard outside the room. If Fang Bai became grateful for his efforts and rewarded him with even a flawed batch of Elixirs, it would benefit him immensely.

"Brother Li, Chenyu, let’s go to the Golden Crow Manor!"

Fang Bai called on Li Chenzhou and Xia Chenyu, waved to Rou Fu’s four sisters and the distant Black and White Demons, then, under the escort of the Golden Crow Manor’s high-level officials, mounted a Swiftwind Horse. Stirring up clouds of dust, they galloped swiftly towards the Golden Crow Manor.

"Sister, Senior Fang has left, what do we do now?"

Rou Ling stamped her foot in anxiety and asked as she watched Fang Bai’s figure getting farther and farther away.

She admired and revered Fang Bai, her heart had long been secretly fluttering with fondness, wishing she could stay by his side at all times, just watching over him. Now that Fang Bai was leaving, her heart was frantic, and she wanted to chase after him.

Rou Fu hesitated for a moment before speaking earnestly, "The once-every-five-years ’Heroes Ranking’ is approaching, and we don’t have much time... Right, let’s return to Ruoshui Palace now, to conserve our strength, diligently cultivate, hoping to win a spot in the upcoming ’Heroes Ranking’ battle!"

Lingrou reluctantly said, "But... But Senior Fang just waved at us, seeming to want us to accompany him to the Golden Crow Manor..."

"Senior Fang might have just been being polite."

Rou Fu patted Lingrou on the shoulder and spoke with the weighty tone of an elder, "As for Senior Fang... as long as there’s fate, we will surely meet him again."

Though she said this, she repeatedly looked back towards the direction where Fang Bai had departed, her eyes filled with a reluctance to part and sorrow of separation.

After a moment, only when Fang Bai’s figure had completely disappeared, the Rou Fu sisters, feeling melancholy and lost, then packed up and set off on their journey back to Ruoshui Palace.

Gu Yan and the other three Divine Fire Sect Elders whispered among themselves for a short while before shamelessly tagging along behind Fang Bai and the others, following behind at a distance.

The four of them already knew that Fang Bai was an Alchemist, and their main purpose in following him was actually to see whether this rising star—who could compare in strength to their own Sect Master—was able to concoct Elixirs required by Innate Experts.

If Fang Bai truly could concoct Elixirs needed by Innate Experts, then in the future he would certainly become a figure whom various sects and powers would go to great lengths to flatter and curry favor with, not excluding even an Innate Sect like the Divine Fire Sect. Hence, initiating conversation and fostering good relations with Fang Bai became the primary goal for Gu Yan and the other three Elders of the Divine Fire Clan.

As Fang Bai and the others departed one by one, the number of Martial Artists near the Essence Stone Vein grew fewer and fewer, the scene became increasingly desolate, leaving only over a thousand elite Disciples guarding the entrance to the Essence Stone Vein.

The Swiftwind Horses that Fang Bai and the others rode were among the best in the Golden Crow Manor, not only enduring but also strong-footed, and it took only half a day for Fang Bai, Li Chenzhou, Xia Chenyu, and the Black and White Demons to reach the outer area of the Golden Crow Manor, ahead of the other high-level members.

Previously, to protect the entrance of the Essence Stone Vein near the Eternal Death Zone, the Golden Crow Manor’s Disciples clashed fiercely with the Martial Artists Alliance, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides.

At almost the same time, a similar fierce battle also took place on the side of the Golden Crow Manor, with the Disciples of the Tianji Sect as their opponents.

The outcomes of the battles on both sides were the same, with the Golden Crow Manor victorious, all thanks to Fang Bai turning the tide.

At this moment, the outer area of the Golden Crow Manor was left in shambles from the aftermath of the great battle.

The plants that used to be lush with leaves or in the midst of robust growth were now toppled and twisted, damaged and incomplete, and on the ground, countless severed limbs were scattered with blood flowing everywhere, a testament to the intense battle that had taken place here before.
