350: Return to the Longfeng Mountains

Ever since advancing to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Bai had been kept by Zhou Luo's side.

However, decades had passed, and this little fellow's strength hadn't changed much; it was still similar to before.

The main reason was that spiritual beasts typically have long lifespans and slow growth cycles; without special encounters, they usually need several hundred Nian to enter the next stage.

In these Nian, Zhou Luo had also been searching for spiritual beast eggs and other living creatures suitable for Bai to devour, but he hadn't found anything good.

Although there hadn't been much change in these decades, Bai's ability was still extremely formidable.

Taking it along was equivalent to bringing a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

If used properly, it might be able to play a huge role.

A moment later, he arrived at the agreed-upon location outside the Immortal City.

He saw Long Yunshuang wearing a long cyan-white dress, the skirt fluttering. It was embroidered with golden cloud patterns, and the neckline was inlaid with tiny, dazzling gems. Below, a long, snow-white jade leg was revealed, its fair and firm skin glowing with an alluring luster under the sunlight.

Her perfect figure was highlighted by the outline of the long dress, appearing very prominent, especially her towering chest, which made it impossible to look away.

Cultivators passing by around them kept glancing over, all drawn to her, but no one dared to step forward.

Her expression was cold; although she didn't release any aura, she gave off a feeling of 'do not approach strangers,' like a snow lotus on a heavenly mountain, standing tall on a cold, snowy peak, independent and proud.

Zhou Luo, dressed in a purple-gold Dharma robe, stepped forward, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes as well.

At their level, appearance and figure were secondary, as they could be changed at will, but the temperament they exuded could not be altered.

Compared to others, Long Yunshuang possessed a more noble temperament, like the blazing sun high in the sky, radiating intense light that made people dare not look directly at it.

Perhaps only Zhou Luo, who was experienced and had a comparable level of strength and status, could look at the other party so calmly.

He walked up to Long Yunshuang and cupped his hands, saying, "Manager Long."

Seeing the arrival, Long Yunshuang nodded faintly: "Let's go."

With that said, she lightly tapped her index finger, and a spiritual light landed in front of the two of them. Immediately after, a gilded flying shuttle came into view.

That flying shuttle was more opulent than ordinary flying shuttles. Its body was covered in purple patterns, and complex Talismans designs glowed brightly, with spiritual energy flowing within them. Layers of formation patterns were interwoven, emitting a majestic aura.

Long Yunshuang stepped forward, lightly leaped, and landed on the flying shuttle.

Zhou Luo followed closely behind and also came aboard.

Since the flying shuttle wasn't large, when the two of them stood on it, the distance between them was no longer as far as before; there was only about three feet separating them.

At close range, Zhou Luo smelled a faint fragrance, like mountain wildflowers, which entered his nostrils and made him feel refreshed and cheerful.

"Manager Long, how much do you know about that Ruins?" Zhou Luo looked at the graceful back and asked in a gentle voice.

During the ten days of preparation, he had sent Wang Lang to gather information, but the news was complicated and chaotic, and after consolidating it, there wasn't much useful information.

He only knew that the Ruins were vast, divided into inner and outer parts. The outer area was suitable for Qi Training cultivators to enter, while the inner area was probably only accessible to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, it was said that there were incredibly precious items and Cultivation Methods inside, which was why so many people were drawn to it.

He conservatively estimated that among these people, there would be at least ten or so Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators, possibly even more.

"Outside, just call me Daoist friend. All the information about that Ruins is in this Jade Slip; you can read it yourself."

Long Yunshuang's clear and cold voice drifted from the front.

Subsequently, a white Jade Slip floated from the front to the back, stopping in front of him.

Taking the Jade Slip, Zhou Luo didn't say anything more.

According to the other party's meaning, it seemed they were going to conceal their identities during this operation.

After all, one was the person in charge of the Tianxia Tavern in the Immortal City, and the other was a Second-Order Alchemist; both were renowned figures in the Qingyuan Domain.

If their identities were exposed early, they would inevitably face hostility and vigilance from others, or be "isolated," making it difficult to obtain information and handle many matters.

Opening the Jade Slip, it contained information about the Ruins.

It was said that this Ruins was the place where a Golden Core True Person had fallen.

If this were true, then there would undoubtedly be many good things inside, such as Golden Core Cultivation Methods, Spiritual Artifacts, Third-Order Spirit Pills, Talismans, and so on. Even the bones of that Golden Core True Person could be used as Materials.

After all, a Cultivator of this level is a treasure from head to toe.

Precisely because a Golden Core True Person might be buried inside, the interior would inevitably be fraught with danger.

No one would like to be disturbed after their death.

According to the Azure Origin Sect, in addition to the large formation in the outer area, the interior might also contain various large and small offensive and defensive formations, and possibly even restrictive formations.

Not only that, there were also things that restricted Space inside. Anyone who entered the Ruins would have their information isolated by this place, unable to communicate or connect with the outside world.

Therefore, trying to rely on communication or Space-related treasures to leave the Ruins was basically impossible.

Looking at the description on the Jade Slip, Zhou Luo gradually gained an understanding of this trip to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

Although it described numerous dangers, he wasn't overly worried.

Because since the Azure Origin Sect was willing to announce this Ruins for its Disciples to train, it meant that the danger within the Ruins was definitely limited.

Not to mention that he had a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a deep background like Long Yunshuang accompanying him, plus Bai in his backpack, and the various means he had prepared on himself, dealing with a small Ruins was completely fine.

What actually concerned Zhou Luo the most was that the interior of this Ruins was equivalent to a closed Space; unless one returned the way they came, it was impossible to leave.

This meant that once inside, the greatest danger you would face would no longer be the mechanisms and formations within the Ruins, but the sneak attacks from others.

No one could guarantee that in the face of huge benefits, the person beside you wouldn't suddenly erupt and stab you.

After all, not everyone could be like Long Yunshuang, able to produce a contract that involved Karma.

People traveling together was more of a mutual need; they gathered together because of benefits and would inevitably disperse because of benefits in the end.

The Immortal City was far from the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, but both were in the Foundation Establishment Realm with abundant Dharma power.

Under their alternating urging, coupled with the inherent functions of the flying shuttle itself, their speed was extremely fast, like a long rainbow cutting through the sky, flashing by in an instant.

After about ten Nian, the two of them saw the majestic and continuous mountain range from high in the sky.

Besides them, there were also many Cultivators appearing in the surrounding high sky.

They were either riding flying shuttles, or spiritual beasts, or directly stepping on Spiritual Artifacts, their clothes fluttering, acting freely and Chic.

The appearance of the Ruins in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range had clearly become the biggest event in the Qingyuan Domain recently.
