Chapter 1554: Chapter 1574: Pretty Woman Seeking Company?_1

The architectural style of the God Fire Continent’s cities markedly differed from that of the Cloud Sky Continent, with pointed rooftops considered a beauty, lending the places an exotic aesthetic grandeur. Ordinary people living in these cities sported different styles of dress and hair ornaments.

"Is this Golden Winged Roc your pet?"

Lin Chen replied, "This is the Mountain Overlooking Beast of our White Crane Immortal Sect."

"Keep it under control. If it harms any ordinary people, it will be apprehended and possibly even hunted down. Don’t blame me for not warning you then."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder. I’ll keep a close watch on it."

"Let’s go!"

Lin Chen inquired, "I wish to have a complete map of the God Fire Continent. Is one available here?"

"Yes, it’s five hundred Immortal Spirit Stones each."

A bright smile appeared on the guard’s face: "Would you like to get a Divine Fire Gift Package? It includes a map of the God Fire Continent, introductions to the various sects, important notes about specific areas, and so on. In short, it enables cultivators like you to fully understand the God Fire Continent."

A travel guide?

Without hesitating, Lin Chen said, "I’ll take one."

The guard took out a bag containing several Jade Slips. "Thank you for your patronage. That’s three thousand Immortal Spirit Stones."

Several Jade Slips for Three Thousand Immortal Spirit Stones?

What a ripoff!

Despite grumbling inwardly, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate. He handed over four thousand Immortal Spirit Stones and purchased the gift package.

"Being a new arrival, I am planning to visit an old friend at the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace. Would you have any advice for me?"

Seeing the extra one thousand Immortal Spirit Stones offered by Lin Chen, the guard’s smile widened.

What a generous young man!

The guard chuckled, glancing at the Golden Winged Roc, "Your Golden Winged Roc isn’t fully grown yet. Be careful. Perhaps someone might try to claim it."

Lin Chen faltered, "It may not be fully grown, but it has recognized me as its owner. Can it be forcefully tamed?"

The guard replied, "There are countless methods in the world. How can you be sure it can’t be done?"

Lin Chen bowed, "Thank you for the warning!"

The guard meditated briefly then said in a low voice, "Let me give you another piece of advice; to reach the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, you should pass through the Vast Sea Wilderness. It has been very turbulent there lately. If you aren’t in a hurry, it might be best to bypass it."

"Alright!"

The guard waved his hand, "There’s nothing more to say. Off you go."

"Thank you!"

After thanking him, Lin Chen soared onto Little Gold’s body and took flight, leaving the border city behind.

A hundred miles away from the city, Lin Chen had Little Gold alight on a hilltop. Then, he pulled out the Jade Slips from the gift pack and began reading.

While the rest could wait, he at least needed to check the map to know in which direction to head for the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace. Otherwise, what if he lost his way?

After looking at the map, Lin Chen had a clearer idea.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Palace was approximately two months’ journey to the north. This was thanks to the fact that the Palace wasn’t too far from here.

In the Immortal Realm, such journeys that spanned several months were quite common.

After all, the Immortal Realm is vast.

Having reviewed the map, Lin Chen started examining other items, such as the power distribution map of the God Fire Continent.

The God Fire Continent was home to eight top-grade powers. The Ten Thousand Flowers Palace just managed to squeeze into the list, ranking last, while the Azure Abyss Divine Palace, which also ranked in the top ten of the Immortal Realm, occupied the top position, representing the pinnacle of power on the God Fire Continent.

While Lin Chen was engrossed in his reading, he sensed something and turned around.

A flying ship was speeding toward him. Two women were standing on the ship: One, around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, dressed in a white robe, her charming and beautiful face complemented by a well-proportioned body, her curves enticing; the other, about sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a blue robe, had a cold expression and was dressed as a handmaid.

The flying ship stopped in front of Lin Chen, and the woman in the white robe bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master Lin."

Lin Chen returned the bow: "What can I do for you, ladies?"

The woman in white asked softly, "We heard at the Domain Gate exit that you are heading to the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

The woman in white responded, "Coincidentally, we are also heading toward the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace. Could we accompany you on your journey?"

Travel together?

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "We don’t know each other, and I’m a man. Traveling together could be inconvenient."

A beautiful woman volunteering to join him?

Lin Chen wasn’t convinced such luck existed. Even though he was handsome, this was the Cultivation World, and there were plenty of handsome men.

The woman in the white robe pursed her lips, her eyes pleading, "Seeing your mighty Golden Winged Roc, you seem to be very powerful. And as a member of the White Crane Immortal Sect, coming from an esteemed sect, we thought of travelling with you. The world is not at peace these days, and it’s unsafe for us ladies to travel alone. We hoped that you might look after us..."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, "Who are you, and what is your business in the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace?"

The woman in the white robe answered, "My name is Liu Yuqi, and this is my handmaid, Cui Hong. We are traveling to the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace to visit family. I have an elder there, who, I have heard, is one of the managers at the Palace."

A manager?

Lin Chen hesitated slightly, unsure whether the women were telling the truth or not. If it were the truth, and he refused their request for help, wouldn’t that upset their relatives at the Palace when they found out? He wondered if those relatives, being managers, would resent him and, by extension, hold it against Chu Jiaxue.

Lin Chen decided to accept the offer. After all, whether their intentions were genuine or not would become apparent as they journeyed together.

"Alright, if you don’t mind, we can travel together."
