Chapter 811 Entering the Ancient Desert of Kamakura
Chapter 811 Entering the Ancient Desert of Kamakura
"um, yes."
Zhao Mu nodded with a slight smile.
"So you really are from Canglanze. Fellow Daoist, could you tell us about the deeds of that bloodthirsty Asura?"
The people on the Flying Grassland mostly relied on hearsay, so when they met someone from Canglanze, their interest naturally soared. After all, they were just relaxing and had plenty of free time here.
"How could I possibly get involved in the affairs of such important figures? However, I did hear that this whole thing started because of a treasure hunt. The Cang family, the Yin family, and some other sects were bullying the weak and outnumbered people, but they never expected to run into a real obstacle."
Zhao Mu smiled and said that although he didn't care much about his reputation, it would be too much to not say anything since people had come to him with such questions.
"That's it!"
"The Cang family and the Yin family are sacred places after all, so it's perfectly normal."
"That's right. The Cang family even dared to surround and kill Fairy Yu, let alone some insignificant people."
“We small forces and even those who started as independent cultivators need to stick together for warmth. Those big forces are all more inhuman than the last.”
"..."
Hearing the sudden change in tone in his voice, Zhao Mu chuckled to himself.
It seems that this Cangwu Realm, just like the Kunwu Continent outside, is indeed a miniature version of the Kunwu Continent, just as my mother said.
After resting for a night and exchanging his medicines and herbs for the ones he wanted, Zhao Mu set off again.
This time, there was no rest along the way. Instead, it took three days to reach the Kamakura Desert directly. Just as he had guessed, far fewer people chose the Kamakura Desert than the Flying Grassland.
Here, yellow sand fills the sky, and the Gobi Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, a landscape of crimson and orange-yellow, with all life hidden beneath the yellow sand.
Besides, the energy of heaven and earth here is obviously weaker than that of the Flying Grassland, and the heat is so intense that even the spiritual energy barrier can hardly withstand it. Fortunately, Zhao Mu is a body cultivator, otherwise he would probably be hissing from the heat right now.
"This place is somewhat similar to the forbidden area of the Divine Phoenix Ridge Secret Realm."
Zhao Mu recalled his experience with the "green tea" girl, how they unexpectedly ended up together, and how she started seducing him until she finally succeeded.
"That's... an inn?"
A flag bearing the word "wine" hung on a tall wooden pole, standing firm in the fierce wind, clearly reinforced by an array.
But looking into the distance, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of yellow sand, with only a single, enormous, withered tree standing alone on it.
Where is the inn?
"Wait, what is this....."
As soon as Zhao Mu used his pupil technique, he immediately noticed the anomaly. It turned out that the inn was underground, and that withered tree was the entrance.
"Ha~"
Upon arriving in front of the withered tree, they indeed discovered a hidden world within: a space about ten feet in diameter with an array on it, clearly marked with three grooves. "Such a short-distance teleportation array costs three high-grade spirit stones? They really have a business mind!"
It was unusually expensive, but Zhao Mu didn't care about the amount of spirit stones and immediately threw in three high-grade spirit stones.
hum~
In a flash of light, he arrived at another place.
This is a huge underground space, brightly lit, with about a hundred tables, but there aren't many guests, only thirty or forty people, gathered in twos and threes.
Zhao Mu's solo appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"one person?"
"Who is this person? How dare he venture into the ancient Kamakura desert alone?"
"What a reckless fool who's not afraid of death."
"..."
Zhao Mu wasn't deaf, and these people spoke with almost no attempt to conceal their thoughts, so he naturally heard them.
It seems that the ancient desert of Kamakura is quite dangerous.
But he didn't care much, after all, he was an excellent survivor.
"What would you like, sir?"
Zhao Mu was quite surprised that a prodigy who had reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm had become a waiter.
You know, geniuses are all arrogant, so how could they be so humble? Just who is the owner of this inn?
"Bring a pot of wine and some local specialties."
"Sir, our restaurant's specialties include Yellow Springs Wine, Stir-fried Lizard Tail with Soy Sauce, Grilled Fire Dragon Scorpion, Mushroom Congee, and Flying Dragon Soup. How about this?"
"How many spirit stones?"
"A total of 17,000 high-grade spirit stones."
"How many?"
Zhao Mu thought he had misheard. Such a small amount of stuff, and they wanted 17,000 high-grade spirit stones? Was this robbery?
"Seventeen thousand, rest assured, sir. Our shop doesn't overcharge customers. You'll see it's worth the price once you've eaten here."
"let's go!"
Zhao Mu first looked at the waiter suspiciously, then nodded.
"Payment is required before ordering."
"Give!"
There are quite a few broken rules. He wanted to see what tricks an inn could pull to justify such high prices.
Seeing this, the others were also surprised, and their contempt for Zhao Mu lessened somewhat.
It's really absurd to consume a mediocre eighth-grade spiritual artifact in a single meal.
Of course, they wouldn't target Zhao Mu just because he was rich and powerful. After all, no one here was a fool. Who would flaunt their wealth without real strength? That would be tantamount to courting death.
In other words, Zhao Mu's actions were seen as a display of strength by them.
Before long, the food and drinks were served.
Just then, a woman in a green dress sat down next to Zhao Mu.
She was quite good-looking, but of course, she was a step below a stunning beauty like Yu Ying.
"Is there something you need, fellow Daoist?"
Zhao Mu didn't think this woman was deliberately approaching him because of his generosity, because the heroic spirit in her eyes told him that she was neither a sycophant nor someone who would sell her body.
"I see that you dare to venture into the ancient Kamakura Desert alone, and you are so generous with your resources. You must be of extraordinary strength. Therefore, I would like to invite you to join me in exploring opportunities. What do you think?"
"Tell me, what was the opportunity?"
As Zhao Mu poured himself some Yellow Springs Wine, he said...
After taking a sip, I was surprised to find that this Yellow Spring Wine was indeed extraordinary, as it could actually aid in cultivation. It was clearly made from top-grade spiritual herbs. I tasted the dishes as well, and they were the same.
Clearly, these extremely expensive dishes were obtained from seventh-tier demons.
The person behind this inn is no ordinary person. To be able to hunt seventh-tier demonic beasts on such a large scale and turn them into dishes for sale, they are definitely not ordinary people.
"Thirty thousand miles east of here lies a place called the Black Sand Sea. According to my information, there is an ancient city beneath it, and the entrance will open in half a month. This is a place that has never been discovered in the Kamakura Desert before. Generally speaking, those who enter for the first time will surely reap great rewards."
"Since it's so good, why not go alone?"
Zhao Mu never believed in free lunches.
"This news is not known only to us; many others know it as well. We need to form a team of at least thirty people to go there in order to have a chance to get a share of the pie."
"I will think about it!"
