Chapter 67 - Skyfall Nation
Chapter 67 – Skyfall Nation
An hour later, Yun Lintian's injuries were all recovered. He clenched his fists, adapting to his newly gained power with excitement.
"Congratulations." Yun Qianxue's voice rang out from behind. Currently, her strength had already reached the sixth level of Essence Profound Realm thanks to almost unlimited High-grade Profound Stones at the bottom of the Profound Spirit Lake.
Yun Lintian smiled back at her. "Thank you. I think I can go out now. We have delayed it for a month."
Yun Qianxue nodded her head. The seven pagodas' construction had halted the process for two months now because of a material shortage. The food supply had also run out. There were only ordinary vegetables left.
To body refining practitioners, they needed more nutrition from both spirit plant and Profound Beast's meat as their appetite grew bigger along with their strength. Since an ordinary vegetable they had grown within the Land of Beyond Heaven was useless for Yun Lintian and the rest, he decided to go out today.
It had been almost three months since everyone secluded themselves within this place. They had no idea what was going on around the outside world. It was inevitable they needed more preparation before going out.
In the villa's living room, Yun Lintian sat on the sofa with Yun Qianxue, Yun Ruanyu, and Yun Huanxin on his side. While Yun Qingrou, Yun Meilan, and Yun Lingwei sat separately on a smaller sofa. Except for Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin, who hadn't transformed her Profound Vein, everyone had already reached the Essence Profound Realm.
"Right now, we are in the perimeter of the Skyfall Nation." Yun Ruanyu pointed at a simple map on a small table before everyone. She dragged her finger to the north direction and stopped at a town symbol as she said, "We need to travel around two thousand kilometers north to reach this Green Leaf Town. This town is one of the biggest food suppliers in the Skyfall Nation. We should be able to find a supply here."
"Skyfall Nation…" Yun Lintian heard about this nation before. It was said the ruler was a woman with extremely high talent in both music sorcery, and sword art.
"The Skyfall Royal Clan used to have a good relationship with our sect. However, as time passing by, our relationship gradually falling apart. In the past hundred years, they never interacted with us again." Yun Qianxue explained.
As a former sect master, she knew more than a newly appointed sect master like Yun Lintian. She did not surprise at the Skyfall Royal Clan's action of distancing themselves since the Misty Cloud Sect had significantly inclined. They simply viewed the sect as unworthy of befriending.
Although Yun Qianxue understood this was common in the relationship between two forces, she still got angry whenever she thought about it. To her, this was a simply humiliation, and she could not accept it. It was just that even her strength at that time was useless to do anything.
Yun Lintian perceived the boiling anger in Yun Qianxue. He reached out to hold her hand and said with a confident smile, "You don't have to be angry. We are different now. Given us another five years, they would become nothing in our eyes."
Seeing his confident smile, Yun Qianxue's anger gradually subsided. She returned him with a faint smile and said. "You're right. We're now different from the past."
Watching these two spreading their sweet moment, Yun Lingwei smirked and was about to tease them. Suddenly, she felt a chill running down her spine as she saw Yun Qianxue's sharp gaze swept at her, rendering her to shut her mouth tightly.
Yun Ruanyu didn't bother about their small interaction. She said further, "It is currently a winter outside. People in Green Leaf Town naturally cannot grow a plant at the moment. If we want to buy a sizeable amount of food in one go, it will undoubtedly attract unnecessary problems. But buying a seed should be fine."
Yun Lintian nodded in agreement, and buying a spirit plant's seed was his original intention. He said, "There are two major problems. First, we have to find a way to get a steady stream of Profound Beast's meat. Of course, we can hunt them by ourselves, but it will increase the risk of exposing our secrets. Unless we can find a no-man land full with Profound Beast."
"Second problem. We need a tremendous amount of necessary items such as beds and clothes. I know everyone can sleep on a plain Heavenly Sandalwood bed or even a hard floor, but I want everyone to have the best living environment. Whether it is food or cloth, everyone should use the best of the best."
Listening to Yun Lintian's words, everyone was moved. The Misty Cloud Sect might be harmonious, but they could not deny that the higher talented one would get more resources than others. They could not simply divide everything equally to everyone as Yun Lintian did.
Even though Yun Lintian could achieve this ideal approach because of the Land of Beyond Heaven. Yun Qianxue and the rest could not guarantee they could be as generous as Yun Lintian.
"We should cultivate a silkworm by ourselves too. However, finding a top silkworm like the Snow Wind Silkworm around this place is rather difficult. Unless we are entering the Frozen Moon Palace's territory." Yun Qingrou expressed her opinion. Aside from alchemy, she was interested in cloth designing. The current Misty Cloud Sect's uniform was the result of her design.
"We should get the Fragrant Cow too. I want to make butter and cheese." Yun Lingwei chimed in and subconsciously licked her lips slightly as she thought of the delicious cheese she had experienced during these past months. Sadly, they had been long emptied by her.
Yun Lintian chuckled amusingly. The Azure World was relatively backward in terms of culinary methods. Despite there were plenty of heavenly ingredients, the variety of dishes were too low. It was natural that the gluttonous Yun Lingwei would attract by the Earth's cuisine.
"Alright, we will get all of them." Yun Lintian accepted everyone's proposal. "So who wants to go out with Huanxin and me?"
Everyone turned their head to Yun Qianxue. The answer was clear as day. Even they wanted to go, Yun Qianxue might disagree with them.
