“So it’s Elder Shen.”
Hearing this, Zhou Sui nodded: “My name is Zhou Sui. This time, I came here with a Foundation Establishment elder to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. If we have disturbed anyone, please forgive us.”
He also pointed out that there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator backing him, which put him on equal footing with these people.
Otherwise, they may harbour malicious thoughts upon seeing him alone and helpless.
It’s like a three-year-old child holding a gold bar; it’s hard not to arouse malice.
But if the gold bar is in the hands of an armed policeman, no one would dare to provoke it.
The same principle applies here.
“I see, could we possibly meet this Foundation Establishment elder?”
Shen Wan didn’t show any unusual expression, instead, his demeanour was pleasant as a spring breeze.
“That might not be very convenient. Elder Zhou is currently in closed-door cultivation, it might take some time before he comes out.”
“If there’s anything important you need to discuss, you can tell me, and I can relay it to Elder Zhou later.”
Zhou Sui solemnly said.
During this time, Leng Yuexi was basically in closed-door cultivation.
Even though she had already cleared the deadly poison from her body, years of deficit were not something that could be replenished in a short time.
Therefore, she spent most of this time in seclusion, recovering her Foundation Establishment completion strength.
He also directly changed the surname of Leng Yuexi to Zhou.
After all, the name of Leng Yuexi was too big.
Within tens of thousands of miles, any cultivators who were a little bit famous would know her.
If her whereabouts were revealed, it might lead to the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect.
So, he planned to give Leng Yuexi a new identity, treating her as an elder of his Zhou family.
“I see, that’s a shame.”
“Actually, we don’t have anything significant. We are just cultivators who came deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range seeking opportunities.”
“Getting to know each other now, greeting each other, will make it easier for us to assist each other and share information in the future.”
Shen Wan was slightly disappointed, but he also showed understanding.
After all, it was common for Foundation Establishment cultivators to go into closed-door cultivation; he didn’t think it was a big issue.
“Are there many cultivators around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?”
Zhou Sui asked curiously.
After all, he had always lived in Misty Cloud City and rarely left.
He had occasionally heard of many cultivators venturing deep into the mountain range only to be killed by the beasts within.
In his eyes, the depths of Cloud Mist Mountain Range were extremely dangerous.
If not for seeking refuge and obtaining a second-stage Demon Core, he wouldn’t have come to this place.
“Of course, quite a few.”
Shen Wan smiled lightly: “For instance, nearby here, there are at least three Foundation Establishment families. Like my Shen family, and the Mu family, Xiao family, etc. Each of these families have built a foothold around here for us cultivators to reside while in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.”
After all, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is teeming with spiritual medicines and various beasts. Although it’s dangerous, if one is lucky enough, they can make a fortune, even enough to afford a Foundation Pill.”
He stated that the number of cultivators venturing deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was not small.
They each settled in different places in the mountain range, governing themselves, collecting spiritual medicines, and hunting beasts.
The Cloud Mist Mountain Range is large enough to accommodate a large number of cultivators, so there is no need for disputes over territory.
The greatest danger here is not the cultivators but the beasts and various poisonous insects lurking in the depths of the mist.
“I suppose Brother Zhou is also here for the various resources of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?”
Shen Wan seemed to hint at Zhou Sui.
“Yes, in fact, this time, I’m following our family elder to hunt second-stage beasts and obtain second-stage Demon Cores. With them, perhaps our family could refine a Foundation Pill. All this is for the future of our family.”
Zhou Sui honestly said, indicating that he came to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range this time for the second-stage Demon Cores.
In fact, there is nothing to hide about it.
Most of the cultivators that delve deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range are hoping to obtain second-stage Demon Cores.
However, sadly, most cultivators end up perishing in the bellies of beasts, leaving no trace behind.
“Second-stage Demon Core? Without the Golden Jade Lingzhi, if you can get a second-stage Demon Core, indeed, you could try to refine the Foundation Pill, but obtaining a second-stage Demon Core is very difficult.”
“After all, not every second-stage beast carries a second-stage Demon Core. Sometimes, you may get nothing even after killing a dozen or more beasts.”
“Moreover, if too many second-stage beasts are killed, it could lead to a beast tide.”
Shen Wan expressed his sentiments.
“Beast tide? What do you mean?”
Zhou Sui asked curiously, because he was not particularly familiar with the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
“It seems Brother Zhou doesn’t know much about the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. You should know that there are third-stage beasts deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, which are terrifying beasts comparable to the Golden Core Master.”
“Most of the second-stage beasts living in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range are under those third-stage beasts.”
“If a large number of second-stage beasts are killed, it will provoke them.”
“Many beast tides in the history of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range have been caused by third-stage beasts.”
“If a real beast tide occurs, it would probably sweep through the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range, causing an innumerable number of cultivators to die.”
“Of course, the chance of killing enough second-stage beasts are quite low.”
“After all, even for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, killing a second-stage beast is an incredibly difficult task.”
“Brother Zhou probably doesn’t need to worry about this.”
Shen Wan laughed.
He didn’t care much about the so-called beast tide, because it’s been a long time since a beast tide occurred in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Furthermore, the idea of hunting down second-stage beasts on a large scale is simply a pipe dream.
After all, finding a second-stage beast in the boundless misty forest is very difficult in itself.
Plus, one needs to be vigilant against beast attacks at all times.
If you aren’t careful, it won’t be you hunting the second-stage beast, but the second-stage beast hunting you.
Most cultivators who enter the Cloud Mist Mountain Range just want to pick its various spiritual medicines, hunt some first-stage beasts, and earn a large amount of spirit stones.
“I see, I will keep that in mind.”
Zhou Sui felt a sudden chill.
No wonder he sensed an intermittent threatening aura coming from the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. He hadn’t expected a third-stage beast to dwell there, an entity comparable to a Golden Core Master.
If they were to provoke it, they wouldn’t know how they died; it’s impossible to win against it.
However, his opponent was a second-stage beast, so the situation wasn’t all that bad.
“Well, our foothold is located in a valley in the distant. If Brother Zhou obtains any spiritual medicines or treasures, you can also come and barter with us, so we can exchange resources.”
“In fact, cultivators living deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range also often trade treasures, and they all reap considerable benefits.”
Shen Wan solemnly said.
“Rest assured, if I have anything required, I will definitely trade it with you all.”
Zhou Sui nodded.
Whoosh!
Having said what they wanted to say, this group of people seemed to have only come over to extend a greeting, then promptly left..
