"Hmm? What? Senior Sister, you’re coming with ?"
For a mont, Ji Yuan was caught off guard.
Phoenix Peach accompanying him... Indeed, this was a path he had never considered, never imagined relying on soone else for such matters.
When traveling outside, he was always accustod to going on his own.
Just like this trip, by himself he had the Transformation Talisman and the Concealing Breath Spell.
For escaping, there was the Talisman Treasure and a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact.
If he really couldn’t escape, he still had long-distance teleportation to survive no matter what.
But bringing Phoenix Peach was different; many thods he wouldn’t dare use freely, at least not with a clear conscience as a Demon Cultivator. If sothing happened, he might need to take care of Phoenix Peach instead.
In short, in Phoenix Peach’s eyes, as soone already at the peak of Foundation Establishnt, she could protect Ji Yuan’s safety.
But in Ji Yuan’s view, she might still be a burden...
"Yes, don’t underestimate ! I’m very strong."
Phoenix Peach stood tall, taking a step forward, frowning slightly, thinking Ji Yuan looked down on her.
"Of course, Senior Sister is strong, it’s just... I still want to go alone, I’ll be quick, no need to trouble Senior Sister." Ji Yuan smiled apologetically:
"I’m used to going on my own."
"Master, look at Junior Brother!"
Phoenix Peach saw Ji Yuan refusing even in such matters and had to seek verdict from Hua Yaoyue.
Lying on the soft chair, seemingly half-asleep, Hua Yaoyue didn’t bother to open her eyes, "Let him go alone; he’s grown up, and you can’t watch over him forever."
"Exactly."
Ji Yuan quickly added, "I appreciate Senior Sister’s kindness."
"Hmph, do as you please then!"
"If sothing happens, wait... wait for to rescue you then!"
Phoenix Peach changed her words at the last mont.
Since Ji Yuan was about to set out, she didn’t want to say anything unlucky.
After speaking, she left the mountain pavilion angrily, then summoned a Flying Boat and left Wan You Island.
Clearly, being rejected by Ji Yuan, she was a bit unhappy.
Ji Yuan sighed inside... He could only consider bringing back a small gift for Phoenix Peach to appease her when he returned.
No matter what, her intentions were good.
"At worst, just use the Teleportation Order to co back; these things are ant for use, don’t hide them away only to let soone else benefit later."
Hua Yaoyue advised with just that ssage.
"Alright."
Ji Yuan nodded; this logic, he had understood long ago from his first killing, back when he killed Old Boatman Wu in Cloud Rain Marsh.
At the ti, Old Boatman Wu, overestimating his strength, was unwilling to use his Talismans, and in the end, everything benefited Ji Yuan.
"Then disciple takes leave, Master take care."
Ji Yuan clasped his hands; as for Spirit Wine and such, he had given them a few days ago. Even if he had more now, it wouldn’t be appropriate to give them again; he’ll wait until he’s back.
Incidentally, see if he could buy so liquor from the direction of Corpse Transporting Mountain along the way, to add to the Wine Cellar later.
"Go on."
Hua Yaoyue opened her eyes to glance at Ji Yuan, saying no more.
"Mm."
Ji Yuan nodded slightly, then summoned his Sky Raider Flying Boat, leaving Wan You Island, heading north.
Within the Water Dragon Sect territory, he traveled at full speed, so it wasn’t long before he reached the skies above Starfall River, signifying he had left the Water Dragon Sect.
Without the Sect Protection Array, Ji Yuan extended his Divine Sense to ensure no one was around.
He piloted the Flying Boat through a white cloud.
Upon entering, he was still Ji Yuan; coming out of the cloud, he had transford into an old man with white hair and beard.
His appearance and aura had completely changed.
Having left the sect, he couldn’t travel at full speed, so he slightly slowed down.
This gave him the opportunity to examine Starfall River.
Although he had looked carefully from Cyan Leaf City and on his trip to Coastal City before, this trip was different.
This ti, he was crossing the entire Starfall River.
Thus, Ji Yuan gained a tangible sense of the river’s vastness.
Rather than a river, it seed more like an ocean.
For even reaching the clouds, he still saw only endless stretches beneath him.
Even after half an hour of flying the boat almost at full speed, he estimated he was finally at the river’s center... the thought subconsciously arose in Ji Yuan’s mind.
Just how big is this world.
The Cangluo Continent alone was boundless; not to ntion there were other continents beyond.
With this thought in mind,
Ji Yuan crossed Starfall River in roughly one hour, officially reaching the North of Water.
Here, he beca even more cautious, fully concealing his aura, attempting to choose bright paths for his northward journey.
Ensuring that there were visible roads below him, essentially official roads between towns and cities.
Under no circumstance would he pass over unexplored mountains and forests.
Half a day later, Ji Yuan arrived at the largest Market along both sides of Starfall River, known as East Corner Square.
Called a market, in essence, it was no different from a large city.
The Water Dragon Sect, Corpse Transporting Mountain, along with loose cultivators from both Shuinan and North of Water, all gathered here for trade.
Thus, it naturally appeared as a mixed bag of people, even fitting of the label ’black market’... as long as you had money, you could buy whatever you needed here.
Paying with Spirit Stones, you could even hire a Golden Core Cultivator to kill soone.
Though the place was excellent, unfortunately, it wasn’t Ji Yuan’s target.
Even if he wanted to buy a corpse, he planned to continue north, wait until he entered Corpse Transporting Mountain’s territory, then find another city to make such a purchase.
