Unremarkable.
This southward journey to Tianzhu Peak, he decided, would take about twenty days if there were no delays along the way.
Upon reaching the peak, he might spend nearly ten days there, and then about another twenty days for the return journey.
Overall, not too bad.
Moreover, upon returning from the trip, Mist Island would produce a lot of "basic resources" again.
’Tianzhu Peak isn’t far from Maple City, should I visit Senior Sister Dong on the way?’
This thought flashed through his mind but was quickly dismissed by Ji Yuan.
If they hadn’t seen each other for several years, it would be appropriate, but since their last eting was not long ago, a visit was unnecessary.
Heading south all the way, traveling and cultivating along the journey.
This ti, unlike before, he didn’t carry any mission or urgent matters; it was simply a spontaneous travel.
So, during this southward journey, Ji Yuan was in high spirits, and whenever he saw a beautiful scene, he would descend the flying boat to take a look.
When encountering a major city, he would also go inside to explore, to see if he could find any treasures.
Along the way, he would purchase local specialty liquors, and once back ho, they would be enhanced in the Wine Cellar, perfect for gifts to guests or his master.
Nearly a month’s ti passed in the blink of an eye.
When Ji Yuan saw the towering mountain peak above the clouds, he knew that his destination—Tianzhu Peak, had arrived.
He imdiately sped up, and after only an hour.
Ji Yuan stood before Tianzhu Peak.
Already above the clouds, he still had to look up to see the peak top... which was nearly a thousand ters above.
Logically, with a mountain of this height, the peak should be snow-capped.
Yet as Ji Yuan saw, even the summit was a lush grassy adow, with no snow nor even rocky patches.
This was completely different from what Ji Yuan understood in his previous life, attributable only to the wonders of the Immortal World.
Occasionally he spotted lights moving to and fro, mostly Qi Cultivation or Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Ji Yuan maneuvered the flying boat upward, and in just monts, reached the peak.
’Hey, quite a crowd.’
Ji Yuan didn’t dare release his divine sense, but instead, scanned with his naked eyes, estimating there were dozens, the majority at Qi Cultivation Stage, with also almost ten Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Fortunately, the peak was spacious, so even with so many people, it wasn’t crowded.
The central point on the mountain, also the highest point, was graced by a pavilion built by so benevolent Immortal.
Inscribed with: "Immortal Residence Pavilion."
The na was quite well-chosen.
Ji Yuan landed, and his flying boat automatically retreated into the storage bag.
The nearby Qi Cultivation Cultivators, who were chatting, sensed his cultivation level and rose to greet him.
Clad in a blue robe, Ji Yuan smiled and nodded as acknowledgnt, and proceeded to walk towards the Immortal Residence Pavilion at the peak.
The path was paved with bluestone, and walking on this lush grassy peak with the Cloud Sea beneath, was truly a rare sight.
Ji Yuan walked leisurely.
He saw two Immortal couples here speaking of love... two late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators, pledging their vows on Tianzhu Peak.
The man vowed to advance to Foundation Establishnt together, while the female cultivator said she would establish her own Foundation Establishnt clan.
Afterwards, the man whispered sothing in her ear, causing her earlobe to blush as she snuggled into his embrace, lightly punching his chest.
She seed a bit upset.
Others without releasing their divine sense might not hear clearly.
But Ji Yuan, with Body Foundation Establishnt, had far superior hearing than ordinary people.
Though the man whispered, it was as good as speaking directly into Ji Yuan’s ear.
He said, "Then we’ll need children, why don’t we go back to make one? This way, we’ll be preparing our Foundation Establishnt clan in advance."
Looking at that Immortal couple departing, judging by their attire, and having chosen Tianzhu Peak for romance.
These two likely ca from a small family, probably from a Foundation Establishnt family.
Not considered at the bottom in the Cultivation Realm.
Ji Yuan continued upward, and upon reaching the Immortal Residence Pavilion, he saw three seated, all Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, seemingly familiar, sharing joyful laughs.
Seeing Ji Yuan arrive, sensing his cultivation level, one young man in a dark magic robe stood up and cupped his hands in greeting: "A chance eting is fate; Daoist friend, why not join us for a chat."
"I am Xue Nanshan from the Xue Family of Lin’an City, greeting you."
Ji Yuan feigned a surprised look and quickly returned the courtesy.
"I am Loose Cultivator Qiu Qianhai, greetings Daoist Xue, and these two Daoists."
Xue Nanshan was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishnt, while the other man and woman were at mid-stage Foundation Establishnt; their posture suggested they were a couple... Ji Yuan glanced, feeling reassured with no late-stage cultivators, thus dared to enter and sit in the pavilion.
Afterwards, Xue Nanshan introduced that couple to Ji Yuan.
The man’s na was He Tianming, the woman’s na was Mu Lulu
Both were cultivators from Jiangxin Island, considered Loose Cultivators; despite mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, they hadn’t developed their own forces, rely cultivating together on the island.
Also a renowned pair of Immortal lovers in the vicinity of Tianzhu Peak.
Ji Yuan exchanged courteous greetings, and with a peripheral glance, noticed the woman looking at the man with a hint of fear, and not daring to raise her head to look at him...
Between them lay so stories.
Having realized this, Ji Yuan rely chatted briefly before excusing himself.
He wished to avoid entanglent, so keeping away from trouble was indeed a wise approach.
Leaving the Immortal Residence Pavilion, Ji Yuan rode the flying boat downward, diving into the Cloud Sea but not going far, instead flying close to the mountain slopes.
There were no Cave Mansions atop Tianzhu Peak, but in this Cloud Sea beneath, there were nurous mansions left by predecessors.
So were inhabited, while so lay open and vacant.
Ji Yuan found an unoccupied Cave Mansion nearby, inspected it, and ensured no issues before activating the Cave Mansion effect, deploying the Star Spiral Cloud Barrier formation.
Thus officially began his journey into mountain-top cultivation life at Tianzhu Peak.
