Chapter 371: Jingyang City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This is the Eastern Continent. It doesn’t look any different.”

Qing Zhu crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked around the surroundings. There seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her words. “Moreover, the spiritual energy here isn’t very abundant. It’s not even half as abundant as that of Central Plains.”

“This place is not comparable to the Central Plains.”

Gu Xi shook his head helplessly. At the same time, he was secretly surprised.

According to Qing Zhu said, the spiritual energy in the Central Plains was much more than the spiritual energy in the Eastern Continent. Would cultivating there be twice the result with half the effort?!

Thinking of this, his expectations for the Central Plains rose again. If he were to head to the Central Plains one day, his cultivation level would definitely increase by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the Great Saint stage would be a piece of cake for him!

“The most important thing right now is to find a place to recover from my injuries.” Gu Xi spoke slowly. His expression was not very good, and there was a faint hint of paleness in his expression. The continuous acceleration of the spirit boat for many days made this Great Saint stage cultivator feel a little overwhelmed.

Gu Xi nodded, and they immediately jumped off the spirit boat. Qing Zhu waved her jade-like hand, and the large spirit boat quickly shrank and disappeared into her storage bag.

The feeling of stepping on solid ground once again made the group involuntarily feel as if they had survived a disaster. Until now, when they recalled the half-step Quasi-emperor Void Devouring Beast, they could not help but feel a chill down their spines.

They were so close to dying in the void.

“Little Nine, lead the way and find the nearest city.” Gu Xi looked at Little Nine with a calm expression.

Little Nine immediately understood. Immediately, a faint divine beast pressure surged out from her body and enveloped the area within a few miles in the blink of an eye.

“This is…” Qing Zhu could not help but feel a little uncertain when she saw this scene.

Little Nine did not reply. She seemed to have sensed something. Her long and narrow eyes turned to look at the dense forest in the distance, as though she was waiting for something to appear.

Soon after, a rustling sound was transmitted from the dense forest. A moment later, a demon beast that was just like a jackal wildly rushed out from within.

“Demon Beast?”

Qing Zhu was slightly startled when she saw this. Her eyes immediately became alert.

She was clearly aware that there would definitely be other companions in the surroundings after the appearance of a demon beast. If they were to be ambushed by a large group of demon beasts here, it was likely that their current condition would be extremely troublesome.

If their luck was really bad and they were to meet another demon beast that was as powerful as the Void Devouring Beast, they could only admit defeat.

They stared at the demon beast that was charging at them. Although this demon beast was very weak, they did not let their guard down.

On the other hand, Gu Xi took advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention to him. With a flip of his hand, he sent a spiritual imprint into a huge rock at the side.

[Ding! Great Teleportation Array detected!]

[There are a total of 874,169 flaws!]

[Would the host like to extract them?]

In his mind, the System’s cold voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Xi’s mouth lifted slightly, but he was not in a hurry to extract it.

Now that he had already left his imprint here, all he needed to do was wait for the convenient time in the future to follow the imprint back and extract the array.

At that time, he would be able to travel between the Four Continents and the Central Plains at will!

At the same time, the jackal-like demon beast had already arrived in front of the group. However, to everyone’s surprise, the demon beast did not attack them. Instead, it lay extremely docile in front of Little Nine, moreover, it was trembling non-stop.

“This is just a method to ask for directions. I’m not familiar with this place,” Little Nine explained to the somewhat surprised crowd. After which, the demon beast stood up and began to run in a certain direction.

“It is indeed worthy of being a divine beast body. Its aura is sufficient to command all the demon beasts in the world,” Elder Gu came to a sudden realization and could not help but praise.

Little Nine curled her lips. She turned her head and glanced at Gu Xi, who had landed at the back of the group. The latter smiled slightly, indicating that everything had been completed.

“Let’s follow.” Little Nine once again spoke when she saw this. She took the lead and quickly rushed in the direction that the demon beast had left. The few people behind her also followed.

Under the lead of the demon beast, the group quickly walked over a hundred miles. A large city also appeared in everyone’s sight.

Jingyang City. Two large characters were engraved on the signboard at the city gate.

“Let’s settle down here first.” Gu Xi spoke in a deep voice after looking at Jingyang City in the distance.

Little Nine nodded and immediately chased the demon beast away. The few of them tidied up their clothes slightly before walking towards the city gate.

Of course, just like last time, there was still a long line at the city gate. Moreover, every person who entered had to be checked by the officers and soldiers. In order not to waste any time, Elder Gu used some means to silently bring the group of people in.

On the wide street, the pedestrians were bustling, and the shouts of the vendors on both sides of the street soared to the sky. It was quite lively.

The few of them slowly walked on the street and immediately attracted the attention of the pedestrians around them.

Little Nine, Qing Zhu, and Song Qingluan’s appearances could be said to be at the level of femme fatale. It was very normal for them to be noticed by the crowd when they went out.

“I think it’s better for all of you to cover your faces properly…” Gu Xi spoke slowly, his tone somewhat helpless.

“With your current strength, it should be more than enough to protect me, right?” Little Nine smiled coquettishly, instantly causing the breathing of many men present to quicken.

Hearing this, Gu Xi shrugged his shoulders. Although he indeed had the strength now, with his character, he did not want to become the center of attention wherever he went.

Unknowingly, they passed through one street after another. Soon, an inn appeared in their sight.

Gu Xi waved his hand and booked six rooms. After which, he treated the group to a feast. It could be considered that he was doing his duty as a host.

“Miss Qing Zhu, do you have any of these spirit herbs?”

On the dining table, Gu Xi handed a scroll to Qing Zhu.

After taking it, Qingzhu gave it a quick glance before shaking her head, “I don’t have any of these herbs. I’ve never even heard of a few of them.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but feel a little helpless.

This pill formula was found in his storage bag on the spirit ship. It was called the Soul-casting Pill. It had the effect of repairing the soul and nourishing the Qi and blood.

This pill was of great benefit to Elder Yun and Elder Gu.

As long as the two of them took this pill, their injuries would not be healed immediately, but it could increase the speed of their recovery.
