Chapter 50: After modification: Chapter 49 He actually scolded me

Traveling through the wilderness, I came across an array with something inside that I couldn’t quite make out.

Judging by the appearance, could it be a female ghost?

That’s possible too.

Yuchi, with a friendly demeanor, began digging a hole with his flying sword.

After a while.

Yuchi unearthed a large chest, wondering if it might contain some rings or a wise elder?

At the very least, some cultivation technique for mortals without Spirit Root would do.

Yuchi still wished to rely on his own efforts for cultivation; otherwise, he would have to depend on his disciples to assist him.

"I don’t even know what I’m hoping for," Yuchi laughed casually.

The large chest was made of wood, with a keyhole on its surface, but it wasn’t locked.

Could this be the legendary cliff-jumping treasure?

Yuchi never imagined he would have such good fortune, so was this female ghost here to guard the treasure?

Could be.

Eagerly, he opened the chest.

As his expression gradually turned blank.

Yuchi found the chest completely empty, except for a single note.

Had someone beaten him to it?

Impossible.

Curiously, he picked up the note, reading it over.

"Left by Huo Shanlan of the Ascension Gate, year 987 of the Nine Provinces."

"Created this array on a whim, it’s only useful to a cultivator."

"You fool!"

"Looking at this empty chest, surprised or not?"

Yuchi could imagine an old woman smiling brightly, his mouth twitching in disbelief.

Outsmarted by my own cleverness.

But Huo Shanlan of the Ascension Gate?

First of all, Yuchi had no recollection of what kind of sect the Ascension Gate was; he only knew of the Cloud Mountain Sect.

And knew someone named Yun Chun in the Cloud Mountain Sect, that cheeky young man.

Moreover, what is Huo Shanlan?

From the name, it seems like a woman’s name, but what would bring a woman here so unexpectedly?

Coincidence?

That couldn’t be purely coincidence.

Lastly, the year 987 of the Nine Provinces, isn’t that this year?

The Nine Provinces system cycles every thousand years, and years don’t exceed a thousand. For instance, after year 999, it resets to year 1.

Few people care about history here; they’re just part of the long river of history.

According to the view of local Historians on history.

The world always moves forward; leaving behind stories suffices; the era doesn’t matter.

Like Kong Rong giving away pears, you only need to know a mischievous child gave the big pear to family and friends.

Or the three visits to the thatched hut; it’s enough to know it was a passionate era bursting with potential.

Or perhaps the battle with one’s back to the water; just know that fighting with one’s back against water provides a combat power boost.

Time nodes are meaningless; what happens within them is what matters.

Returning to that note.

The other party either left it this year or a thousand years ago.

The soil appears fresh, and the chest hasn’t been corroded by the soil, so it seems to have been left this year.

"Is she really just bored?"

Yuchi muttered helplessly.

He now felt indifferent towards sects; they were quite unlike the carefree sects he had imagined.

They were more like traders than merchants.

"Can a bored woman really emerge from such a sect and wander the mountains and waters?"

He couldn’t comprehend it.

He looked over at the porcelain bowl again.

It was merely filled with clear water, but under the array’s change, it could turn blood-red.

It could even manifest such demonic phantoms.

Turning his head again, he could still faintly see the female ghost secretly observing from the shadows.

She hadn’t disappeared yet.

Judging by this, the woman who cast the array seemed quite formidable.

The opponent’s strength was likely terrifying, but fortunately, there was no ill intent, otherwise, he might’ve been slain from a distance.

This made Yuchi much more cautious; at least in this world, countless hidden cultivators might exist.

He didn’t discard the note casually, deciding to keep it as a reminder for himself.

As for the porcelain bowl.

Yuchi tried to see if the Immortal Stone would accept it, and surprisingly, it would.

Its value astonishingly amounted to a small amount of Dao points.

Following the principle that even a mosquito is meat, Yuchi exchanged the porcelain bowl for Dao points.

After checking his surroundings.

Confirming no one had witnessed him, he headed into the distance.

This was merely a small interlude; everything still depended on his apprentice.

My apprentice, oh my apprentice, where are you?

...

Far away, in a misty and cloud-covered Immortal Island.

A woman opened her eyes in the dark room of a tranquil chamber.

"Huh?"

"My array has been broken?"

"Knowing of my fame, he must be coming to find me at the Ascension Gate, right?"

Someone replied, "You’re overthinking it."

Then she saw her jade hand gently tapping the void, and a Twin Fish Plate adorned with Spirit Stones appeared.

With the infusion of Spiritual Qi, a scene of memories emerged on the Twin Fish Plate.

These memories actually came from that female ghost, indicating that she was the one who set up this array.

Her name was Huo Shanlan.

Initially, she seemed quite satisfied.

"His courage is relatively great."

But when she saw Yuchi biting the female ghost’s tongue directly, a strong shock appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.

Is he even human!

There would be a trace of her remaining thought within the array.

If a cultivator with profound understanding of arrays passed by, they could absorb the Spiritual Charm from the array.

Their cultivation, regardless of level, could increase somewhat.

Yet the other party dared to bully the Spiritual Charm within her array like this, and treated her so lightly!

This is my Divine Thought, it’s millions of me!

Even stealing from me!

"Wow! This young man!"

Huo Shanlan stared angrily at the dead fish eyes of Yuchi on the Twin Fish Plate.

She could still hear Yuchi muttering.

Then.

Astonishment.

"He even mocked me as having idle back pain!?"

"It’s you who has idle back pain!"

"Oh no!"

"This young man!"

The thousand-year-old monster is about to lose her composure!

Actually, Huo Shanlan wanted to take on a female disciple.

Earlier, she sent an Immortal Crane to scout the area; the Immortal Crane could find if there were any children with remarkable Spirit Roots nearby.

Furthermore, she required that the child have no sect affiliation.

However, an Immortal Crane is just an Immortal Crane, and the scouting speed was extremely slow.

Over the course of several decades, effort and the Immortal Crane’s diligence paid off.

The Immortal Crane found a girl in this small village, and her Thunder Spirit Root was quite excellent, even a rank seven.

That’s right.

The girl seen by the Immortal Crane was Xu Feiling.

Just as the Immortal Crane returned to report, the Sect Leader of the Ascension Gate, also known as Yuchi, arrived.

After a brief exchange of words, he took Xu Feiling away directly...

By the time Huo Shanlan traveled a thousand miles to get there, the situation was already clear.

Xu Feiling had already been sent to the Ascension Gate by Yuchi.

Although the Ascension Gate had no Defense Array and no large formations, it was still the Ascension Gate.

It could at least conceal some of the disciples’ presence.

In the vast expanse of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, if not informed of the location of the Ascension Gate, even Huo Shanlan would find it difficult to locate.

The Nine Provinces are too vast.

Feeling somewhat helpless, she suppressed her thoughts of taking on a disciple and took a last look around the mountaintop before leaving.

Cursing to herself about which old thief was so despicable in stealing her potential disciple, after she finally decided to take on one.

Cursing aside.

This kind of thing really cannot be helped.

The rivers are wide, with a vast mountain before her.

Feeling a bit of an urge to act, Huo Shanlan set up the array, waiting for a destined person to arrive.

The thought was simple, since she couldn’t take on a disciple, she would leave an array to see if it could help others in the future.

The array was quite exquisite; if one could learn it, it would be beneficial for a cultivator.

It’s like remote teaching, giving an online class.

But the result was waiting in vain.

Yuchi took the bait again.

So even though Huo Shanlan didn’t know both incidents were Yuchi’s doing, Yuchi’s mockery of her having idle back pain was intolerable.

For the first time in a thousand years of cultivation, she was mocked like this!

"Little thief, you just wait!"

"And where is this place again?"

Some thoughts came back to her.

The third continent, the one she was on, a rather remote corner.

Getting up.

Her Immortal Robe flowing, the dark room opened, and a woman standing at least four feet six inches tall rose on the clouds, her pale gold eyes filled with resentment.

The Immortal Robe drifted gracefully, ribbons fluttered lightly, a perfect loli noblewoman image.

Young man.

Just wait for me to come and punish you!

The road is long, but with full speed, I should arrive in a few days!
