127: To Beihan

“What are you saying?!” Pan Shan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wei Xun’s request. “Don’t worry, the plan won’t go wrong!”

“If you agree to my terms, I’ll go!” Wei Xun said with a serious expression.

If he followed this guy to Northern Cold Continent and the operation failed, wouldn’t he have wasted his time for nothing?

“Alright!” Seeing that Wei Xun wouldn’t budge, Pan Shan had no choice but to agree. “I promise you!”

After Pan Shan agreed, he added, “But we have to leave now to prepare at that location in advance!”

“No problem!” Wei Xun nodded in agreement.

Seeing Wei Xun agree, Pan Shan immediately whistled towards the Forest nearby.

A moment later, Jiji flew over with his arms transformed into wings. “General, what are your orders?”

“Go inform the other Instructors and tell them to gather here!” Pan Shan said. “Tell them we’re ready to depart.”

“Yes!” Jiji nodded immediately after hearing this, then turned and flew out of the Forest.

After a short wait, six Demonic Qi-heavy Instructors at Body Tempering Realm Third Layer walked out of the Forest.

From their mutual glances, Wei Xun could tell that these monsters were half-Cultivated and all had strong Demonic Qi.

Furthermore, Wei Xun noticed that among these monster Instructors, one of them seemed somewhat familiar.

Wei Xun thought carefully and suddenly remembered that the Red Eyes rabbit-like monster among these Instructors seemed to have been seen before in the Forest near Crescent Stream.

At that time, these Instructors and the purple-robed monster were gathered together, seemingly discussing some conspiracy.

He just didn't know why this guy would appear in Pan Shan’s team.

“General, we’re here!”

A tall monster among the Instructors, who looked like a yellow ox spirit, stepped forward.

“Very good!” Pan Shan nodded. “Get ready, we’re leaving immediately.”

Pan Shan drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, then stood up and made a 'please' gesture to Wei Xun.

Wei Xun nodded politely, then followed behind Pan Shan.

Following Pan Shan’s lead, Wei Xun and the eight monsters traveled north from Lingtao Mountain.

Since the lowest Realm among these monsters was Body Tempering Realm Third Layer, and Pan Shan, who was leading the way, was very familiar with the route, their travel speed was very fast.

Although most of it was rugged mountain roads, two hundred li of distance only took about three or four hours.

The further north they went, Wei Xun noticed that the temperature in the air slowly began to drop.

When they reached the northernmost part of Black Abyss Mountain Range after a rapid journey, Wei Xun saw a vast plain.

The plain was boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Wei Xun could see far-off places covered in white snow, and towering snow-capped mountains piercing into the sky like pillars supporting the heavens.

“This is Northern Cold Continent!” Pan Shan said, pointing to the distance across the plain.

Wei Xun nodded and took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling it was much colder than before.

As soon as they stepped out of the Forest in Black Abyss Mountain Range, a cool breeze swept over, making Wei Xun shiver unconsciously.

“We’ll go a few dozen more li north, and we’ll reach our destination!” Pan Shan said, pointing in the direction they needed to go. “Everyone put on your cloaks.”

Upon receiving Pan Shan’s command, the Instructors who came along all took out black cloaks and put them on, hiding their monster-like heads beneath the cloaks.

Seeing that Wei Xun didn't have one, Pan Shan flipped his hand and took out a black cloak, handing it to Wei Xun.

“Wear this to conceal your tracks!” Pan Shan said. “When we arrive in human territory, we should be a bit more discreet.”

Wei Xun took the cloak and put it on.

After all the monsters were dressed, Pan Shan continued to lead Wei Xun and the others towards their final destination.

By the time they arrived, the sky had already darkened, and the sun in the West was about to set.

Wei Xun looked at the place; it was a spot that resembled an altar.

On the open ground stood a tall, dilapidated stone tablet, which seemed to be quite old.

There were still some characters on the stone tablet, but they were too faded to be clearly seen due to the passage of time.

“This is the place!” Pan Shan led Wei Xun and the others to hide in a small Forest not far from the stone tablet. “Tomorrow, a group of people will come here to worship, all wealthy humans.”

“Once they appear, we’ll suddenly attack and snatch all the good stuff.”

The Instructors all nodded seriously after hearing Pan Shan’s plan, without any doubt.

Wei Xun, however, was a bit worried after arriving at the scene.

If the plan went smoothly tomorrow, it would be fine, but if the plan failed and there were powerful Human Cultivators among these humans that they couldn't deal with, there would be nowhere to run.

The way back to Black Abyss Mountain Range was a vast plain, with no place to hide at all.

However, since he was already here, and seeing Pan Shan’s confident demeanor, Wei Xun’s worries lessened.

Moreover, Pan Shan seemed very experienced in this kind of business, so it probably wasn't his first time doing it.

Since they had to wait until tomorrow to act, Pan Shan told his subordinate Instructors to hide near the Forest, while he himself hid in the grass and slept.

Wei Xun, as before, found a dense big tree, jumped up, and hid behind its branches.

After night fell, Wei Xun closed his eyes and began to Cultivate Qi among the treetops.

Without the assistance of the immortal ginseng in Cultivation, relying solely on Five Elements Spirit Stones and Cultivation Technique, Wei Xun’s Realm only increased by a little over thirty thousand points after one round of Cultivation.

If he didn't have the Five Elements Spirit Stones to assist in Cultivation, relying solely on Cultivation Technique, he could only gain about ten thousand points of Realm per day at most.

Relying only on Cultivation Technique, it would take about a thousand days to Breakthrough to Pure Yang Realm Second Layer.

By the time the Cultivation ended, it was already deep into the night.

Wei Xun did not use the Dream Soul Travel Technique to enter the Myriad Treasure Pagoda; instead, he prepared to get a good night's sleep to cope with tomorrow's action.

He had already explored all seven layers of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

The first layer was the old man who played chess; his chess skills were superb, but he was dirt poor and had no more treasures to give him.

The second layer was the rough man who forged iron; he called himself a Forging Great Master and was very susceptible to flattery, and he was currently forging weapons for himself.

The third layer had an uncle who farmed, but according to him, that pearl of some kind needed to recover for a hundred years before it could grow things, so it was useless for now.

The fourth layer had a tree with Divine Beast eggs; the fastest one to hatch would still take twenty years, so it was also useless for now.

The fifth layer was Ming Mountain Daoist, his Great Master; although he looked like a ten-year-old child, he was an old monster several thousand years old, currently doing Alchemy, and not to be disturbed.

The sixth layer was the scholar who loved poetry, calligraphy, and painting; he gave him a Cultivation Technique book called 'Painting Talisman', which was magical but too difficult to Cultivate.

He hadn't been able to skillfully use even one of the first ten talismans in these past few days; he would remember one and forget the next.

Only the arrogant man playing the zither on the seventh layer had not been greeted yet, and he didn't know his identity, what the competition content was, or anything at all.

Every time he went up, this man just played the zither, as if he were Sealed, playing continuously without stopping.
