Ch 643: Mist Sea Forbidden Zone
“Already have a Sect?”
These Sect cultivators who wanted to recruit Li Hanzhou were slightly stunned.
How is this possible?
The outside world is all saying that Li Hanzhou was a stowaway not long ago. How come, in just a few days, he has suddenly joined a Sect?
Could it be that Li Hanzhou finds their Sects insignificant and wants to refuse them with this excuse?
Li Hanzhou ignored them and walked through the crowd.
At this time, a voice suddenly rang out in his ear.
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on reaching the Nascent Soul Stage. I presume your gains at the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda were quite substantial.”
Yu Cangming stepped forward, smiling and saying.
“Not bad.”
Li Hanzhou nodded slightly, then looked at Yu Cangming, scanning his body, and curiously asked: “Where is Young Lady Qu?”
“My master has something to say to the young lady, so the young lady has gone back.”
Yu Cangming explained: “The young lady asked me to convey her congratulations when Fellow Daoist came out.”
“I see.”
A look of understanding appeared on Li Hanzhou’s face, and he then said with a smile: “Then please convey my thanks to Young Lady Qu when you return, thank you for her help.”
If it weren’t for Qu Shuiyun, he would probably still be trying to solve his stowaway identity, and he wouldn’t even be able to enter the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda.
“I will convey this to the young lady truthfully.” Yu Cangming replied.
Li Hanzhou nodded, then turned and left directly under the gaze of everyone, without the slightest pause.
He really didn’t like this feeling of being surrounded by strangers.
“I wonder how Chu Ran is doing.”
After arriving at the inn, Li Hanzhou went straight upstairs.
However, Chu Ran was not in his room.
Li Hanzhou went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper, who shook his head and said: “This guest stayed in the inn from morning till noon, but he went out a short while ago. As for where he went, I’m not quite sure.”
“Alright, get me a pot of your inn’s best wine.”
Li Hanzhou nodded and said.
He didn’t worry too much, after all, the child is so grown up, even if he went out, he would surely know to come back by night.
Rather than searching aimlessly, it’s better to wait for Chu Ran to return while drinking wine in this inn.
At the same time.
Outside Qinglan City.
Although it was noon, an extremely thick fog filled a mountain forest to the east.
The fog surged and rolled, enveloping a radius of tens of thousands of li.
“Everyone, try not to stray too far. This fog is very strange. If you accidentally fall into it, you will be completely lost and never get out again.”
Six figures were moving through the thick fog. The leading Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator stopped and said.
He turned around, and seeing that no one had fallen behind, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Senior Brother Wan, don’t worry, we know how dangerous this place is.”
“Yes, Fellow Daoist Wan, let’s hurry and find the Wuyuan Flower!”
Everyone nodded solemnly, assuring him.
Chu Ran also nodded like a chick pecking at rice, muttering in his heart.
“So many days have passed, the Senior must have returned. After finding the Wuyuan Flower, I will go back as soon as possible.”
The Wuyuan Flower is a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that can help cultivators break through their realms. It was also his purpose for following Li Hanzhou here—to find the Wuyuan Flower, successfully break through his realm, and thus have more confidence in the upcoming Outer Disciple Assessment.
However, the Wuyuan Flower is not something common; rather, it is extremely rare and invaluable.
With his current assets, he couldn’t even afford a sliver of a Wuyuan Flower.
The reason why the Wuyuan Flower is so rare is that it only grows in the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone outside Qinglan City, where he is now.
This area, being called a forbidden zone, is naturally extremely dangerous, not only because of the perennial fog, but also because it is filled with many fiercely powerful beasts.
Legend has it that many strong people have entered but never come out again.
Therefore, Chu Ran was extremely cautious and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
“Brother Chu, keep up!”
At this time, a voice echoed in his ears.
Chu Ran immediately snapped back to his senses, responded, and immediately followed behind.
As for these five companions, he happened to meet them while inquiring about the Wuyuan Flower in a marketplace.
These five people came from three different Sects.
And their purpose was the same as Chu Ran’s—to try their luck in the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone. After getting to know each other, they decided to travel together and came here.
Among these six people, the leader, Wan Yushan, was the strongest, possessing the Foundation Establishment Stage realm.
Their six people combined would be considered a formidable team in the Outside World, but here in the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone, they are somewhat lacking.
Therefore, they only wanted to search the outer periphery of the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone, hoping to find the Wuyuan Flower by chance.
There are almost no fierce beasts in the outer periphery of the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone, making it much safer for them.
“Hey!”
While running, one of them suddenly stopped, then looked suspiciously at a flower that appeared to his left, and said.
“Everyone, I think I found the Wuyuan Flower!”
“What?!”
Hearing this, the others’ faces lit up, and they immediately curiously went over to take a look.
Although they came here to look for the Wuyuan Flower, they had never actually seen this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure before.
“Ancient Texts record that the Wuyuan Flower has seven petals, a translucent, glazed color, and emits a radiance like moonlight…This flower is exactly the same, it must be the Wuyuan Flower!”
Someone carefully examined it and exclaimed, then looked at the person and congratulated him: “Brother Ma, you are so lucky!”
Hearing this, the cultivator named Ji Xingjian modestly replied: “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
Although he said so, anyone could hear the strong joy in his tone.
However, just as Ji Xingjian was about to pick the Wuyuan Flower, a figure suddenly blocked him.
Ji Xingjian said in surprise: “Senior Brother Wan, what do you mean?”
Both he and Wan Yushan were disciples of the Sun Concealing Sect, and Wan Yushan had taken good care of him in the Sect, and even more so after coming to the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone.
So he didn’t think Wan Yushan wanted to steal it, but he still didn’t understand why.
The other four were also looking at Wan Yushan with puzzled expressions.
Facing the gazes of the few people, Wan Yushan explained regretfully.
“This is not the Wuyuan Flower, but the Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower, which is very similar to the Wuyuan Flower. The two look very similar, but the Wuyuan Flower’s bud is a translucent white, while the Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower’s bud is purple.”
“Don’t you think so?”
