Chapter 880: Floating Hill Trace

Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Floating Hill Trace

Feng Jiuge has been wandering outside for so long, and has always been tight on finances. Had she not met Yang Cheng, she would still be worrying about her livelihood now.

But Yang Cheng did not hesitate, directly pushed the bank card over, "Deal."

A trace of surprise flashed in the old man’s eyes. He intentionally raised the price, hoping this young man would think twice, but didn’t expect him to be so straightforward.

He sighed, turned around, took a roll of yellowed parchment from the shelf, and handed it to Yang Cheng.

"Young friend, I remind you, the Blood Refining Sect is not something everyone can meddle with. Think it over, some things are better left unknown."

"No need to persuade, old sir."

Yang Cheng’s eyes were firm, grasping the yellowed parchment.

The old man sighed, released his hand, gesturing for Yang Cheng to open and see, it contained all the information about the Blood Refining Sect.

"I’ve sold you this information, you can take it away, but don’t say you bought it from me, I don’t want to bring trouble to myself."

Yang Cheng nodded, casually putting the parchment into his bag, actually storing it directly into the Storage Jade Pendant.

He realized now that the Storage Jade Pendant is truly a good thing—important items can be carried directly without fear of losing them.

"Old sir, I’ve spent ten million, and I don’t just want to know this point, I also want to know the recent whereabouts of the Blood Refining Sect."

Yang Cheng looked directly at the old man.

He leaned closer, speaking quietly, "The remnants of the Blood Refining Sect have recently been active around Floating Hill, perhaps intending to rebuild a Blood Refining Sect there."

"Floating Hill? What kind of place is that?"

Yang Cheng frowned.

"An island in the Eastern Sea, perpetually shrouded in mist. Ordinary ships cannot approach, it’s said there’s an ancient sect ruins hidden there, the remnants of the Blood Refining Sect are likely all hiding there."

The old man stroked his beard and continued, "However, there’s a powerful barrier around Floating Hill, without Golden Core Realm cultivation, one can’t enter. Many, in search of ancient sects’ cultivation techniques and magic artifacts, take medicine pills to enhance cultivation and venture in."

"I advise you, unless you have sufficient strength, it’s best not to go courting death."

"Thank you."

Yang Cheng said, then turned with Feng Jiuge, walking out of the shop.

Feng Jiuge couldn’t help but ask, "Do you believe what that old man said?"

"Whether I believe or not is not important, at least we have a clue. Once we’re done with matters here, I want to go and have a look."

Yang Cheng said solemnly.

"But that old man said there’s a powerful barrier around Floating Hill, requiring Golden Core Realm cultivation to enter, we’re both still at Foundation Establishment Realm..."

Feng Jiuge was somewhat worried.

"I didn’t say to go immediately, we still have time to enhance our cultivation."

Yang Cheng’s tone was firm, gritting his teeth, "I suspect my father might be in the hands of the Blood Refining Sect, no matter how dangerous, I must go."

Feng Jiuge looked at his determined eyes, mixed emotions rose within her, she said no more.

The two took another stroll around the secretive marketplace, bought some rare medicinal ingredients, then left.

As the car drove out of the marketplace area, the sunshine outside made them both slightly uncomfortable.

Yang Cheng removed the mask from his face, exhaled a long breath.

"That underground marketplace is much bigger than I imagined."

Feng Jiuge also took off her mask, leaned back in her seat, "And the people inside, most are cultivators, with no low cultivation."

"Linzhou looks cold and desolate on the surface, but underground, it’s quite bustling. This suggests Linzhou’s waters run deep, far more complex than we imagined."

Yang Cheng spoke thoughtfully.

"My father has been imprisoned for so many years, I can’t wait any longer, must speed up cultivation soon."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiuge clung to him, her breath like orchids, "Cultivating isn’t difficult for you and me, just a matter of more dual cultivation."

"Little seductress, always enticing me."

Yang Cheng reached out, rubbed her round butt, and kissed her lips.

"I also want to quickly reach the Golden Core Realm, then accompany you!"

At this remark, Yang Cheng froze, turned to look at her, warmth surged in his heart, "Thank you, senior sister."

"Thank you for what? You’re my junior brother, if I don’t help you, who will?"

Feng Jiuge cast him a sidelong glance, yet a slight smile tugged at her lips.

When the two drove back to the Jiang Family, it was already afternoon.

Jiang Yu was sitting on the swing in the yard, holding a book, but her mind was evidently elsewhere, her eyes kept glancing at the entrance.

Seeing Yang Cheng’s car coming in, she quickly put down the book and stood up to greet him.

"Brother Cen, you’re back!"

Her voice was full of excitement, like a puppy waiting for its owner to return home.

"Hmm, back."

Yang Cheng got out of the car, reached out to rub her head, "Were you good at home today?"

Jiang Yu nodded heavily, smiled and said, "Of course, I was reading the whole time, didn’t go anywhere."

Yang Cheng smiled, took out a delicate wooden box from his storage space and handed it to her, "A gift for you."

Jiang Yu’s eyes lit up, quickly opened the box, inside was a light green jade pendant, entirely translucent, with a gentle halo shimmering on the surface.

"So pretty!"

She picked up the Jade Pendant, playing with it fondly.

"This jade isn’t very expensive, but it has calming and soothing effects, wearing it is good for your health."

Yang Cheng said, helping her tie the Jade Pendant around her waist. He felt the spiritual energy from it when he saw it in the marketplace, immediately thought of giving it to Jiang Yu.

"Thank you, Brother Cen."

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of shyness.

Beside them, Feng Jiuge witnessed this scene, shook her head helplessly.

This girl is afraid she’s completely fallen.

After dinner, Yang Cheng routinely brewed a bowl of medicine for Jiang Yu, delivering it to her room.

Jiang Yu took the medicine bowl, drank it down without even a frown this time.

"Good girl, Yu."

Yang Cheng praised with a smile, took the empty bowl and placed it on the table.

"Brother Cen, could you stay with me tonight? I can’t fall asleep, would you chat with me for a while?"

Jiang Yu held his hand, her bright eyes full of expectation.

Looking at her pitiful expression, Yang Cheng’s heart softened, he nodded slightly, "Okay."

He went for a shower first, then the two lay on the bed, Jiang Yu nestled in his arms, well-behaved like a kitten.

"Brother Cen, can you tell me about your hometown?"

She asked softly.

"My hometown is in Peach Blossom County, a very small place, surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery."

Yang Cheng spoke of his hometown, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, it seemed he had not returned for some time.

"Peach Blossom County? Such a beautiful name, are there many peach blossoms there?"

"Yes, every spring, the hills are filled with blooming peach blossoms, especially beautiful."

"Then when I recover, can you take me there?"

Jiang Yu lifted her head, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Of course."

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded.
