Chapter 556: Leaving Qianshan City

[Could it be...] Shen Xu started, swallowed, and continued.

[Moon scales cone?] He silently screamed and Zhen Yuan smiled.

Moon scales cones looked like moonsilver pinecones.

However, one was an antidote material, while the other was a condensation of moon essence.

[Moon essence is the ultimate treasure for cleansing the soul, body, qi, and even the dao. Refining it can straighten misconceptions in one’s understanding of the dao.] Zhen Yuan said but the double suddenly frowned.

[Ayuan, wouldn’t the Myriad Treasures Pavillion notice such a treasure?] He asked.

After all, the Myriad Treasures Pavillion was the foremost authority on Treasures in not only the cultivation world, but also the immortal and God realms.

[Don’t forget that we are in the lower Heaven. It’s possible that powerful cultivators from the upper heaven would notice the treasure, but this is just the main branch in a tier two city. Also, not everyone can access a space library that has countless books.] He said and Shen Xu nodded.

[You are right.] The double said.

In fact, the moonsilver pinecone, and the moon scales cone looked eerily similar.

Because of this, it was understandable that the pavillion managers had mistaken the moon scales cone for the moonsilver pinecone.

[Let’s check the purchase conditions.] Zhen Yuan said.

However, the two were familiar with this kind of situation so they didn’t immediately rush to buy the cone.

Instead, they slowly made their way there and even then, they didn’t buy it outright but bypassed it to look at other things.

An incense stick later, they returned to the cone and summoned an attendant.

"How do we buy this moonsilver pinecone?" Shen Xu asked.

"It can be exchanged for ten million immortal stones and a level twelve immortal plant." The attendant said and the double frowned before speaking.

"Will a level twelve fruit do?" He asked.

Hearing this, the attendant became more attentive and looked at Shen Xu with eager eyes.

"A fruit will do." He said

After that, Shen Xu remitted a level twelve fruit and ten million immortal stones, and received the moon scales cone in return.

[We got a big bargain.] The double excitedly transmitted.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan hummed.

The Zhou siblings planned to return to the ship after leaving the Myriad Treasures pavillion.

However, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had long noticed that someone was following them since leaving the colloseum.

[Let’s lead them out of the city.] Zhen Yuan suggested and Shen Xu agreed but suddenly remembered that they were on an escort mission.

[What should we do with them?] He asked, looking at the Zhou siblings.

[Let’s see what they mean.] Zhen Yuan said.

Hearing this, Shen Xu turned to Zhou Man and Zhou Xuan.

[Several people have been following us since leaving the colloseum.] The double said and quickly continued.

[Our idea is to lead them out of the city, and then deal with them.] He said and Zhou Man frowned.

[Why are they following us?] She asked

[Is it because of our winnings?] Zhou Xuan asked and Shen Xu nodded.

[Probably.] He said.

[What winnings?] Zhou Man asked and Zhou Xuan briefly explained the wagers.

’It’s unbelievable that the ninth brother earned several billion from betting kn Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.’ She thought.

Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were good looking.

However, Zhou Man had largely ignored them because they were just ’mere guards’ in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, the mere guards she looked down on were invincible in the colloseum and could tens of billions in less than a month.

From what the ninth brother said, Zhen Yuan was undefeated in one hundred and five solo matches, and Shen Xu was also undefeated in one hundred and two individual matches.

As for pair matches, the two had fought ninety seven matches, and achieved decisive victories in all.

In the same timeframe, Zhou Xuan had fought ninety three matches, won fifty seven, lost thirty one, and drew five.

’The gap is not small.’ Zhou Man thought and decided to watch a few fights when they arrived in the next city.

[Why do we have to deal with them? It’s not like they can attack us within the city.] Zhou Man asked with a nonchalant expression.

[They can’t attack us within the city and after we leave, they won’t dare to attack a ship filled with masters.] Zhou Xuan added and Shen Xu couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

He and Zhen Yuan were used to dealing with their own problems and temporarily forgot that they were escorting second generation young masters.

[Alright.] Shen Xu transmitted and without delay, the four ignored the followers and headed to the ship.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the appointed time arrived, the elders activated the formations, and the ship soared away from Qianshan city.

"Young master, young miss, will you be retreating?" Shen Xu asked, looking at Zhou Man and Zhou Xuan.

"The next stop is Wuhu City, but we won’t arrive until one year later. It would be a loss to waste this year." Zhou Xuan said and Zhou Man nodded.

"Brother is right. I will retreat to refine pills." She said.

After that, the Zhou siblings activated protective formation disks and went into seclusion separately.

Ad for Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan, they activated isolation formation disks and then entered the space.

"What’s wrong?" Zhen Yuan asked, looking at Shen Xu with a worried expression.

"Wuhu city was a major pĺot point in the original novel." Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

"Wuhu city is a tier one city, and its city lord is a great immortal realm cultivator. It’s the territory of the Eastern Immortal Palace, and also the place where Xiao Weimin ascended."

Zhen Yuan frowned when he heard this.

However, he didn’t say anything, and let Shen Xu continue talking.

"Wuhu city was holding a grand auction when Xiao Weimin ascended. Because of this, powerful cultivators including sect masters and the patriachs of big families were in Wuhu city."

"In the end, the sect master of the Eastern Immortal Palace took a liking to Xiao Weimin and accepted him as a disciple."

"After that, Xiao Weimin went to the Eastern Immortal Palace and eventually reunited with his harem. However, his cultivation was stuck at the peak-stage of the heaven immortal realm, and couldn’t break through to the great immortal realm."

"Around then, an unknown area appeared in the Wuhu region and its treasures were just right for Xiao Weimin’s cultivation."

"Ayuan, if I am not mistaken, the Wuhu unknown area should have just appeared, or is about to appear." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan narrowed his eyes.
