[Seeking Rewards!]The events occurring within the Southern State city-states are related to the descendants of the Ancient Alien Race!
The Sky Tomb might not be a person but rather a tomb suspended in the sky!
This is the information Ye Tianchen obtained from the Baixiao Madman, but to Zi Xuan Princess, these two pieces of information are completely useless and don’t count as any information!
Actually, Ye Tianchen also understands that the two clues the Baixiao Madman told him about really aren’t very useful, lacking a clear sense of direction, but it’s better than having no clue at all!
"We’ve really been tricked badly by that madman, sigh, wasted too much time!" Zi Xuan Princess shook her head and said.
"It hasn’t been a waste of too much time; it’s better than wandering aimlessly. Now we just need to find a tomb suspended in the sky!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.
Zi Xuan Princess gave Ye Tianchen a somewhat exasperated look and, frowning, said, "Do you think you’re being too naive? How did that madman tell you? The Sky Tomb he knows is a tomb suspended mid-air, a legend from the whole Barbaric Forbidden Land, which means it’s not necessarily in Southern State, maybe in East State, in North State, in West State. So how are we supposed to find it?"
"Haha, have you forgotten Tuqiuyu Grandfather’s divination? Since Qiuqiu’s grandfather predicted everything before, he must have predicted what happens next, and he had Qiuqiu bring us to find the ’Sky Tomb,’ suggesting it’s definitely within Southern State, otherwise why have us look for it?" Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.
Zi Xuan Princess was just about to retort when Tu Qiuyu tugged on her sleeve and said seriously, "Big Sister, Big Brother, my grandfather wouldn’t miscalculate, I believe the Sky Tomb is definitely within Southern State, trust me, trust my grandfather’s word!"
"Alright, let’s go look for it then!" Zi Xuan Princess was momentarily stunned, then stroked Tu Qiuyu’s head and said.
Ye Tianchen, Zi Xuan Princess, and Tu Qiuyu left the small market within the Southern State area together. Although they had a tiny bit of a clue, they still didn’t have a clear direction, so they could only keep flying forward. Luckily, they came across a group of Martial Artists gathering in a mountain gorge before flying too far!
"Let’s go over and take a look. These Martial Artists don’t seem to come from the same lineage, maybe we can get some clues!" Zi Xuan Princess thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, but we must be cautious!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Ye Tianchen flew at the front, with Zi Xuan Princess bringing Tu Qiuyu behind, all of them landing in the mountain gorge. As they flew over, they were immediately noticed by the Martial Artists already there. Everyone looked at them with various expressions, including suspicious, stunned, and even some hostile looks, but no one spoke or made any moves!
Ye Tianchen and Zi Xuan Princess exchanged a glance; among these Martial Artists, they knew no one, but since they arrived here, they intended to gather information, so they wouldn’t leave just like that, even if some Martial Artists were hostile or the situation was awkward.
"You two stay here and look after Qiuqiu, I’ll go have a look!" Ye Tianchen whispered to Zi Xuan Princess.
"Alright!" Zi Xuan Princess nodded.
Ye Tianchen glanced at the nearby Martial Artists, pondered for a moment, then walked over with a smile, looking at one of the Martial Artists and saying, "Brothers, why are you all gathering here?"
Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, most of the Martial Artists walked away, not uttering a word to him, except for one Martial Artist who squatted on the ground and said, "You don’t even know why you’re here yet dare to come, are you not afraid to die?"
Ye Tianchen looked at the squatting Martial Artist, noticing he was about the same age as him, around thirty, and relatively small in stature. However, on his back was a large saber that seemed out of proportion with his small frame, wrapped in an old cloth, hiding its true appearance, but from its shape, it was clearly an exceedingly broad saber!
"Haha, just passing through, wanted to see what’s going on!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"People as bold as you are appreciated by me, Big Saber Wang Yan, but there are only three slots this time, and I, Wang Yan, will definitely be one of them!" the squatting Martial Artist said confidently.
"Wang Yan? I’m Ye Tianchen!" Ye Tianchen said straightforwardly.
"Ye Tianchen, this name can rival mine, Wang Yan! I love making friends, but unfortunately, this time the spot belongs to me!" Wang Yan said with a smile.
Ye Tianchen walked over, squatted next to Wang Yan, glanced at him and said, "Such a straightforward person, I, Ye Tianchen, would also like to befriend. Why don’t we chat over some drinks?"
"Chat over drinks? That’s perfect! But there’s neither drink nor food here, how can we chat over drinks?" Wang Yan asked with some confusion.
Ye Tianchen looked around and saw a pile of rocks nearby, not very tightly packed, but just enough for people to sit on. He said, "Let’s go over there and chat over drinks, I have both the drinks and the food!"
"Alright, that’s refreshing! Then I graciously accept!" Wang Yan stood up and said heartily.
In no time!
Near the empty place in the mountain stream, Ye Tianchen, Wang Yan, Princess Zi Xuan, and Tu Qiuyu, were all sitting around a bonfire, where a freshly roasted rabbit was on the fire. For a Martial Artist like Ye Tianchen, hunting down a rabbit is child’s play!
"We’ve got the meat, but unfortunately there’s no drink yet!" Wang Yan said with a smile, looking at the roasted rabbit.
"No need to rush, brother. The drink is coming right up!" With a wave of his right hand, a jug of wine appeared in Ye Tianchen’s hand. These were among the few remaining jugs of Monkey Wine, which he used to treat Wang Yan!
Three wine cups were conjured instantly. Ye Tianchen opened the lid and poured a cup of wine for Wang Yan, another for Princess Zi Xuan, and said with a smile, "Try this wine, see what’s different about it?"
Wang Yan and Princess Zi Xuan both took their cups, drank a mouthful, and their expressions froze—for perhaps neither expected the wine Ye Tianchen offered to be so astonishing!
"Brother Ye, this wine... contains an incredibly strong essence energy. Once drunk, the entire body feels utterly comfortable, like the pores open up, tempering the essence energy. It certainly isn’t a mortal product!" Wang Yan couldn’t help but exclaim.
"This wine seems to be refined from Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass. Not only can it heal, but it also breeds Martial Arts True Qi and tempers the body. Could this be the legendary Monkey Wine?" Princess Zi Xuan looked at Ye Tianchen in surprise and asked.
"You actually recognize this Monkey Wine, impressive!" Ye Tianchen, the Taoist, was quite surprised that Princess Zi Xuan recognized Monkey Wine and said with a hint of bewilderment.
Princess Zi Xuan glanced at Ye Tianchen, then spoke, "When I was very young, I remember my master once brought back a jug of wine from outside. I had taken a small sip and smelled the aroma—I’ve never forgotten it. After that tiny sip, I slept for seven days and nights, and when I awoke, my Martial Arts True Qi was incredibly vigorous, forcing me to break through to the next cultivation realm!"
"That should have been because you were too young at the time to completely refine the power of Monkey Wine, hence that situation arose. I got this jug of Monkey Wine through a fortunate encounter, and I’m happy today, so I brought it out to share with you all. No need to be reserved, drink till it’s finished!" Ye Tianchen spoke heartily with a smile, glancing at Wang Yan.
With several drinks down their gullets, Ye Tianchen, Wang Yan, Princess Zi Xuan, and even Tu Qiuyu all took a small sip of Monkey Wine. However, Tu Qiuyu, being an ordinary person, even a slight sip seemed overwhelming, causing him to fall asleep instantly!
"Brother, let’s have another drink!" Ye Tianchen said as he poured wine into Wang Yan’s cup.
Wang Yan’s face was already red from drinking, but it wasn’t from drunkenness—it was because Wang Yan couldn’t fully refine the essence energy of the Monkey Wine for the first time, resulting in such a state. Seeing Ye Tianchen pour him more wine, Wang Yan felt a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Ye, drinking this entire jug of Monkey Wine just by myself—you’re a generous person. This friendship I’ll keep, Wang Yan!"
"No need to be formal, it’s fate that we’ve met!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.
Wang Yan glanced at Ye Tianchen, then looked at Princess Zi Xuan, saying, "Brother Ye, do you truly not know why so many experts have gathered here?"
"Haha, really don’t know—I was just curious, so I thought I’d come to find out!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"Brother Ye, to be candid with you both, the reason so many are gathered here is for one purpose—to vie for one of three slots for an opportunity to embark on an adventure..." Wang Yan said with a cautious look.
"One of three slots? To go on an adventure? What exactly is this adventure?" Princess Zi Xuan asked curiously.
Wang Yan startled for a moment, then spoke with mystery, "Legend has it that in a certain realm, there’s a tomb suspended in mid-air..." (To be continued.
