C90 (1/2)
A road that was dozens of meters wide, winding like a giant dragon, intersecting high mountains. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents]
At dusk, the sound of rolling wheels slowly echoed out, and a convoy of 12 carriages slowly arrived. Each carriage was tied up with a large wooden chest, and at the front and back of the carriage, there were over twenty riders, all young men and women.
”Everyone, let's work harder. I think in at most half an hour, we'll be able to reach the 'Phoenix City' in front. When we get there, all of your rewards will increase by 50%.” A middle-aged man with a friendly face laughed loudly on the carriage at the front.
”Alright!”
A chorus of agreement broke out among the surrounding people, and they all revealed smiles on their faces.
The Phoenix City was at the foot of the mountain of Feng Ming, which was also the destination of the convoy.
However, whether it was the middle-aged man or the surrounding youths, when they were joking, their eyes inadvertently glanced at a silent black-clothed youth in the convoy.
He wore a yellow mask on his face, revealing only his mouth, nose and eyes. Strangely, however, for twelve hours a day, his eyes had been closed for at least twenty hours.
The black-robed youth was none other than Tang Huan.
After staying in Crescent City for the night, Tang Huan bought his horses, tents, and rations early the next morning, and left Crescent City.
He did not plan to travel alone. It would take him ten days to travel from the Crescent City to the Phoenix City below the mountain of Feng Ming. On the way, he would need to pass through countless forests and not have any towns to rest.
Relatively speaking, it would be much safer to find someone to travel with.
Once they reached the north side of the city, they would bump into this convoy that was recruiting guards, and the Martial Warriors that they recruited would at least have the strength of a Stage Four Martial Master. If it was the Stage Four Martial Master, one could get 100 gold coins when entering the Phoenix City, and if it was the Stage Five Martial Master, they could get 400 gold coins.
Tang Huan happened to be a Stage Four Martial Master, so without much hesitation, he immediately joined.
Although a hundred gold coins was not a lot, but in the journey ahead, with many Martial Warriors s accompanying him and also receiving a reward, why not?
Around noon, the team gathered their men and began to set off.
In the group, there were thirteen people, all from Stage Four Martial Master, and the middle-aged man who was the owner of the group was from Stage Five Martial Master. Amongst them, Tang Huan and the rest of the twenty-three were Stage Four Martial Master, while the remaining young man called Yin Fei was Stage Five Martial Master.
On the first day, everyone got along quite well.
On the second day, Tang Huan discovered that there were some changes to his face, and so he put on the mask that he had prepared in advance.
However, his actions caused everyone to be suspicious of him. Even the eyes of the middle-aged man and the others had an additional trace of wariness when they looked at him.
Tang Huan did not mind.
If he didn't wear the mask, he would change his appearance every day, which would most likely cause everyone to be even more suspicious. Moreover, he would leave alone for a while every evening to refine the gem for Xiao Budian to consume. This would also cause people to be suspicious of him.
In any case, he was destined to be suspected anyway. Thus, he might as well wear a mask.
After that, no one spoke with Tang Huan anymore. He was happy to hear them, and continuously refined the ”Pure Yang Pill Bead” every day, not stopping even when he was on horseback.
The heat emitted by the ”Pure Yang Pearl” was extremely wonderful. Not only could it increase the ”True Fire”, it could also increase the strength of the Genuine Qi at an extremely obvious rate.
In ten days, within Tang Huan's Dantian, the second stage of Spiritual Wheel was already in its initial form.
Tang Huan reckoned that if he continued this kind of cultivation, in at most another ten days, he would reach great success in the second stage of Spiritual Wheel and be promoted to Stage Five Martial Master.
And at that time, the ”Pure Yang Pill Bead” would not even have half the heat of it being refined, and the remaining heat would be enough for him to condense the third stage of Spiritual Wheel and become a Stage Six Martial Master!
