"The Bibo Sea does exist, but why isn’t Sealing God Mountain on the map?"
Wang Mu frowned slightly. Without this location, how am I supposed to find it?
The Bibo Sea was imnse, an inner sea of Ling Province, situated right in its heart. One could say that Ling Province was essentially a continent encircling the Bibo Sea.
"Fellow Daoist, on this map of yours, why is there no location for Sealing God Mountain within the Bibo Sea?" Wang Mu asked the street vendor who was selling the map.
This fellow’s Cultivation was not high, rely at the early Foundation Establishnt Stage. He appeared quite old and had a bald head. His baldness was due to his heritage; he was from an Ancient Clan of Ling Province, the Vulture Clan, who were naturally bald.
"Now look at what you’re saying..." the Vulture Clan Cultivator chuckled. "The Bibo Sea is our sacred sea in Ling Province. None of the clans of Ling Province dare to enter it casually, let alone map it."
"Moreover, the Sealing God Mountain you ntioned is the foremost among the three Grotto Heavens of Ling Province. Never mind a minor Foundation Establishnt Cultivator like myself; even a Nascent Soul powerhouse wouldn’t dare to explore it casually."
"Even if I knew the place, how could I dare depict it on a map?"
Wang Mu wasn’t surprised by this. Soone of Nanrong Biyou’s Cultivation level wouldn’t reside in an ordinary place. It’s normal that outsiders can’t go there.
Wang Mu offered a few Spirit Stones and inquired, "Fellow Daoist, do you know of any recent rumors or unusual events in Ling Province?"
The Cultivator waved his hand. "In Ling Province, we have a rule: if you want to inquire about rumors, we don’t accept Spirit Stones, only Treasure Pills."
The origin of this rule was unknown. Wang Mu, however, knew a little about it. It was said that most Cultivators in Ling Province were not skilled in Alchemy. There weren’t many Alchemy masters here. Thus, Elixirs were relatively scarce in this region.
Typically, Cultivators engaged in comrce would purchase large quantities of Elixirs from other continents. They would then travel great distances to the borders of Ling Province to trade these Elixirs with the major Ancient Clans for rare local materials. Of course, the journey was fraught with risks. Ling Province lacked intercontinental Teleportation Arrays; only a few cities within the province had them. This ant traders with lower Cultivation levels risked encountering powerful Fierce Beasts on their journey, which could prove fatal.
Wang Mu took out a few mid-grade Condensing Liquid Pills and handed them to the vendor. These Elixirs had been purchased in several major cities of Qianzhou while he was en route to Heavenly Fragrance Valley. Condensing Liquid Pills, as the na suggested, helped Foundation Establishnt Cultivators solidify and condense the Spirit liquid within their bodies, enhancing the purity of their Spiritual Power.
"Excellent pills!" The Vulture Clan Cultivator’s eyes lit up. He quickly accepted the Elixirs and said swiftly, "You’re an honest man, Fellow Daoist. I’ll tell you the recent rumors in our Ling Province."
Wang Mu listened attentively.
"In recent months, at Fetal Heart Spring, about ten thousand miles from here, divine light has reportedly been flickering intermittently..."
The Vulture Clan Cultivator said with a smile, "A large number of Cultivators have gathered there recently, all eager to get a glimpse, including many Golden Core Cultivators. However, Fetal Heart Spring is the territory of the Giant Statue Ancient Clan, so ordinary Cultivators dare not trespass. So say a Divine Fish has been appearing in the spring. Unfortunately, neither the Giant Statue Ancient Clan nor other Cultivators seem to have unraveled the mystery..."
Wang Mu’s interest was piqued by the ntion of a Divine Fish. How intriguing. A Divine Fish again. I definitely have to check this out!
"The second rumor..."
The Vulture Clan Cultivator pondered for a few seconds. "In Two Realms Mountain, located southeast but leaning north of here, a Five-clawed Azure Dragon is rumored to have taken up residence. The arrival of such a Heaven and Earth Divine Beast is said to release vast Spiritual Energy. Many Cultivators wish to enter Two Realms Mountain to cultivate; cultivating there for a day is akin to a year, an invaluable opportunity for any Cultivator."
"Alternatively, one might search for treasures left behind by the Azure Dragon’s descent or obtain a couple of Dragon’s Scales. These would be Top-Top Grade materials for Artifact Refining."
"But unfortunately, Two Realms Mountain is teeming with Fierce Beasts, as plentiful as the sea. Cultivators below the Golden Core Realm simply dare not trespass."
Wang Mu nodded; this rumor also sounded interesting. There are quite a few Divine Beasts in the Cultivation World... After the great changes in Heaven and Earth, many ancient Living Beings awakened. Whether through mutation or evolution, they all transford into Divine Beasts capable of traversing clouds, crossing seas, and guarding mountains. Many Cultivators specializing in Beast Taming eagerly seek a Divine Beast cub. The combat strength of these Divine Beasts is extraordinarily high, offering unimaginable enhancents to Cultivators. Indeed, many Cultivators are passionate about Beast Taming.
Cultivation: Catch Them All...
Wang Mu nodded. He figured this rumor would attract many people.
"The third rumor... Hmm... Fellow Daoist, have you heard this saying: ’In Ling Province resides the Huang Family; Dual Cultivation with them can increase Life Span, replenish vitality, cleanse the spirit, refine the essence, and the Nascent Soul Stage becos an achievable goal.’"
The Vulture Clan Cultivator’s eyes grew sowhat fervent, and he seed to yearn for it greatly.
"I’ve just arrived in Ling Province, so I’m not very familiar with this..." Wang Mu said.
"Simply put, our Ling Province is ho to the Huang Family Ancient Clan. They inherit the ancient bloodline of the Riding Phoenix. Dual Cultivation with them can augnt one’s Life Span and improve the quality of one’s Spirit Root. Even Cultivators with the poorest aptitude can steadily advance to the Nascent Soul Stage."
"..." Wang Mu was speechless.
"This Huang Family Ancient Clan is currently seeking a son-in-law for one of their clan’s young ladies..." the Vulture Clan Cultivator said in a low voice. "Many Cultivators are rushing to the Ten Thousand Phoenix Ancient Land, hoping to beco the son-in-law of the Huang Family Valley Master. This Ancient Clan is one of the foremost great clans in our Ling Province. If an ordinary Cultivator could marry into the Huang Family Ancient Clan, it would be like soaring to the heavens."
"Fellow Daoist, I see you’re quite handso, not much worse than myself. You should give it a try; you might have a chance."
Wang Mu waved his hand dismissively.
