178: Chapter 178 Brother Tie, you are mistaken.

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Hearing Tie Yueshan take the initiative to suggest traveling together, Yun Chenfei was secretly delighted.

He was just thinking about how to bring him under his wing; he hadn't expected the other party to proactively jump out and try to get close. How could Yun Chenfei refuse?

"I see that Fellow Daoist has not a single trace of Spiritual Qi fluctuations in your body, yet your physical aura is unfathomable. Could it be that Fellow Daoist is a Body Cultivator?"

Looking at the Yun Chenfei before him, Tie Yueshan asked curiously.

"To be honest, I have indeed cultivated a decent Body Refining Cultivation Technique, but I am not entirely a Body Cultivator."

"The reason Fellow Daoist cannot sense Spiritual Qi within me is that I was previously heavily injured, resulting in the total loss of my cultivation."

Since he had the intention of bringing the man under his wing, Yun Chenfei did not hide anything and told him the truth.

"So that's how it is!"

"Just the aura emanating from your Physical Body makes a feeling of being unable to compete and unfathomability rise in my heart."

"Fellow Daoist truly deserves to be called extraordinary, a dragon among men."

Tie Yueshan originally disliked people with deep, scheming minds. Seeing Yun Chenfei speak so openly about his severe injuries during their first meeting, his favorable impression of him increased greatly.

The cultivation world was filled everywhere with deception, intrigue, and greedy people.

Those who could treat others with sincerity upon a first meeting were rare, if not non-existent.

Furthermore, the graves of most people without schemes were already overgrown with wild grass.

"Ding! Due to the Host's sincere disclosure, the Loose Cultivator Tie Yueshan's favorability toward the Host has surged. Favorability +15, changing from 'Chance Encounter' to 'Through Thick and Thin'."

Upon hearing the prompt in his mind, Yun Chenfei was instantly overjoyed.

"Is Fellow Daoist heading to the Black Cloud Mountain Range this time to find Spirit Medicine to restore your cultivation?"

Before Yun Chenfei could speak, Tie Yueshan asked again.

"Sigh!"

"The Meridians in my body are all snapped. I'm just going to try my Luck."

Sensing that the other party's favorability had increased, Yun Chenfei struck while the iron was hot.

"Uh!"

"Spirit Medicine to treat Meridians is indeed hard to find. However, Fellow Daoist can rest easy. If there is a rare treasure or Spirit Medicine for healing Meridians in the Sages Grotto-Heaven in the Black Cloud Mountain Range this time..."

"I, Tie Yueshan, will definitely help Fellow Daoist seize it!"

Seeing that Yun Chenfei was also a straightforward person, Tie Yueshan made up his mind to befriend him.

"Thank you!"

"Even if this trip to the Black Cloud Mountain Range yields nothing, I, Yun, have certainly decided to make Brother Tie my friend!"

Seeing how bold and generous Tie Yueshan's temperament was, Yun Chenfei became increasingly satisfied with his character.

Regarding the two opportunities on Tie Yueshan, while Yun Chenfei didn't exactly despise them, he truly felt no desire to snatch them.

Just a Spirit Beast and a Saint's Legacy.

In Yun Chenfei's eyes, these things were truly optional.

In terms of Cultivation Techniques, talent, or secret Divine Abilities, Yun Chenfei lacked none of them, and he had even awakened a very rare Bloodline Power.

Not to mention Spirit Beasts; Yun Chenfei was accompanied by the Divine Beast Bai Ze. Although it was also heavily injured, it would eventually recover.

Thus, the two of them chatted and laughed about everything under the sun along the way, feeling as if they had met too late.

Although Yun Chenfei and Tie Yueshan had only just met, they both greatly admired each other's character.

In no time at all, their relationship became very close. Those who didn't know better would have thought they were friends of many years.

Amidst their tireless conversation, they unknowingly arrived at the border of the Black Cloud Mountain Range.

They saw mountain peaks stretching endlessly, soaring into the clouds.

Looking into the distance, strange peaks rose abruptly, ridges overlapped, and cliffs were jagged.

The mountain tips were permanently shrouded in dark clouds, and the entire mountain bodies were pitch black and shiny. Thus, the locals called it the Black Cloud Mountain.

Because the mountain paths were steep and treacherous, and Yao Beasts frequently appeared, let alone Mortals, even Cultivators rarely came here.

If it weren't for the Sages Grotto-Heaven appearing here this time, the name of the Black Cloud Mountain Range would not be known to many.

The closer they got to the Black Stone Mountain Range, the more Cultivators gathered from all around.

Of course, most Cultivators were airborne; only Body Cultivators like Yun Chenfei, who had no cultivation or very low Realms, would act as the ground force.

"I remember Tie Yueshan has an Opportunity here to obtain a Blazing Flame Tiger Cub."

"However, due to my appearance, it seems he isn't following the original route."

Checking the System panel, Yun Chenfei discovered that their current location had deviated from where Tie Yueshan was supposed to find the Blazing Flame Tiger Cub.

"Hehe!"

"This is fine too. If I lead him to find that Blazing Flame Tiger Cub..."

Soon, Yun Chenfei suggested adjusting their route.

"Brother Tie, let's go this way."

Greeting Tie Yueshan, Yun Chenfei headed toward the northwest.

Although Tie Yueshan knew the Sages Grotto-Heaven was directly to their west, he didn't say much and followed without hesitation.

Under Yun Chenfei's lead, they soon arrived near the coordinates of the Blazing Flame Tiger Cub.

"Fortunately I have the System in hand, otherwise I really wouldn't have discovered this little fellow,"

Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

He saw a palm-sized, entirely red Blazing Flame Tiger Cub curled up and sleeping soundly inside a thick patch of grass.

Likely because it was newborn, this Blazing Flame Tiger Cub had no spiritual power fluctuations at all, looking no different from an ordinary small animal.

"Aow, aow, aow!"

The moment the Blazing Flame Tiger Cub was grabbed by Yun Chenfei, it let out a series of startled cries.

"A Blazing Flame Tiger Cub!"

"How could there be a Blazing Flame Tiger Cub here? I didn't detect any aura at all."

"Brother Yun truly is a person possessed of great Luck. This Blazing Flame Tiger Cub was hidden so well, yet you still found it."

Seeing the tiny Blazing Flame Tiger Cub in Yun Chenfei's hand, Tie Yueshan exclaimed in amazement.

"Brother Tie, you are mistaken!"

"It's not that my Luck is good, but that your Luck is good."

Yun Chenfei said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Clearly it was you, Brother Yun, who found the Blazing Flame Tiger Cub. I didn't notice anything unusual just now."

Hearing this, Tie Yueshan said in confusion.

"Because I have decided to gift this Blazing Flame Tiger Cub to you, Brother Tie."

Yun Chenfei spoke without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.

"Absolutely not!"

"This Blazing Flame Tiger Cub was discovered solely by Brother Yun. How could I have the face to accept such a precious gift?"

Looking at the Blazing Flame Tiger Cub in Yun Chenfei's hand, if Tie Yueshan said he wasn't moved, it would be a lie.

Ordinary Spirit Beast cubs could be sold in major trading firms for at least fifty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, let alone the Blazing Flame Tiger, which was among the top-tier of all Spirit Beasts.

Fifty thousand Spirit Stones was a significant sum even in the eyes of Disciples from large Sects.

Not to mention that the current Tie Yueshan was still just a Loose Cultivator.
