213 Three Worlds (1/2)
Standing tall on the land of green was Desert City. Under the brilliance of the sunlight, the city was coated in gold.
It was like a compassionate mother; with open arms, it was as though it was welcoming the tired traveller.
The buildings in Desert City were mostly one storey high. They were built of wood and the windows were small. Most of the people on the streets were escorts wearing their martial artist suit.
Of course, there were also caravans from all around, and dancing ladies who were dressed beautifully.
”Sir! This is the headquarters of the White Camel Caravan.”
As the caravan trotted ahead, they arrived at an octagonal-shaped building which appeared luxurious.
A Xiuda ran into the building. Not long after, an old man with treasures in his hands slowly walked out under the escort of 8 servants.
In front of him, several child servants in white were laying out a golden-coloured wool carpet.
”Welcome, our guest from afar!”
The old man with a white beard welcomed Fang Yuan with open hands, as though he had heard of him before. ”I am the leader of White Camel Business Council, Bai Santong. Greetings, Fang Yuan Sir!”
”Oh?”
Fang Yuan felt weird. ”You are... a migrant from Da Qian?”
”My ancestors are indeed from Da Qian Empire!”
Bai Santong laughed. ”In fact, most of the dwellers in Desert City have made it through the Three World. However, most of them have started a family with people of different backgrounds, resulting in our unique culture...”
”I see!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head without saying more.
Bai Santong, on the other hand, did not dare to let his guard down.
Since he was able to traverse through the White Desert, he must be a highly skilled Wu Zong!
Furthermore, he was here to continue his journey through the hellish environments after the White Desert. He must be someone powerful!
”May I know if you need any help? If we can help, we will surely do so!”
Bai Santong placed his fists together and enquired respectfully.
”Very simple... I want information regarding the Three World Mountain! Of course, I will reward you!”
Fang Yuan waved his hands. A jade bottle flew across and landed on Bai Santong's hands.
”This is... spiritual pill?”
Bai Santong took out a pill and was left stunned.
Fang Yuan was secretly laughing inside.
Alchemy masters and spiritual array masters were not common, and even more so for rural areas like these. With their limited resources, the price of spiritual pills would soar.
This would worth more than even gold outside.
”Don't worry, Sir!”
Bai Santong kept the spiritual pills properly. With added respect, he continued. ”I will gather all information regarding Three World Mountain and present it to you!”
I was already worth it for him to risk his life for the spiritual pills! Gathering information was an easy task, and one would be stupid to not do it for the pills.
If not for the fact that he was a respectable person here, Fang Yuan wouldn't have let him have such a good deal.
'I only have to... gather information regarding the Three World Mountain...'
Bai Santong dismissed himself and invited Fang Yuan to join his business council, and his mind was filled with curiosity. ”To gather information regarding Three World Mountain. Could this person have the intention to entire Da Qian Empire? Seriously...”
He did not know what to say.
They escaped out of Da Qian and were fugitives. As long as their enemies were inside Da Qian Empire, they would not dare to return.
Needless to say, to enter Three World Mountain from the other way would be much harder than any normal human could do.
Because of these two reasons, even though they were the closest city, no one in Desert City would have such a crazy thought.
But now, there was such a person!
'Regardless, as long as I keep him happy and keep the spiritual pills coming, that is enough...'
As Bai Santong thought to himself, there was a look of determination in his eyes.
...
Three days later.
In the headquarters of White Camel Business Council, within a luxurious room.
The floor was covered in golden wool carpet. A concubine was dancing on the carpet barefooted.
Fang Yuan leaned against the silk cloth lazily.
In front of him were a few concubines revealing their white arms. They were fighting for the chance to serve him wine and other delicacies.
”Wine made from grapes served in a wine glass! This life... it's not too bad!”
Fang Yuan gulp down a cup of red wine as his face began to flush.
Within the grapes, there was a mixture of spiritual fruits. The taste was refreshing and most importantly, he could enjoy being a little tipsy.
”Sir!”
As the door opened, A Xiuda walked in humbly. He presented a few documents to him. ”This is the relevant information regarding Three World Mountain...”
”Mm. All of you, take your leave!”
Fang Yuan waved his hands. The concubines and musician bowed in respect as they took their leave.
”Three World Mountain!”
Fang Yuan knew what his priorities were.
As his eyes glittered, he looked through the information.
”Three World Mountain! This is the area connecting this place to Da Qian Empire. It is divided into three portions, and two of it are the Da Qian World and Man Huang World. The other portion is the Illusionary World!”
