Chapter 72 - Why Is This Thing Here

Seeing that Alchemy King Gu Xi was angry, the people of the Qingcheng Sect didn’t dare to fall out with him even if they wanted to.

Not to mention that Alchemy King Gu Xi’s strength was high and was the target everyone wanted to curry favor with, but he was also highly respected and was the object of respect for all alchemists.

If they offended him, most of the alchemists would probably stop selling them pills.

The people of the Qingcheng Sect looked embarrassed and said with a smile, “That’s not what we meant.”

Alchemy King Gu Xi didn’t buy it, “Then what do you mean? Anyway, I’ve already said that. It’s up to you to believe me or not.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Of course, we believe you.”

The people of the Qingcheng Sect had no choice but to leave, but they secretly ordered, “You all keep a close eye on Tai Qing Sect. If there is any movement, report it immediately.”

Other than them, other sects came one after another, but Alchemy King Gu Xi sent them away.

All the forces knew that Tai Qing Sect had Alchemy King Gu Xi in charge, so they didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.

The news of Ye Xuan and the others leaving the city couldn’t be hidden, but it was already too late when the others received the news. Ye Xuan and the others had gone too far, so it was unrealistic to catch them up now.

The sun had set in the west, and it was almost evening. Seeing that everyone had been on the road for a whole day, Han Yue ordered a short rest. Now that they had all left the city, it was likely that the group of people would catch them up.

“Let’s rest for a while.”

Ye Xuan didn’t expect the sect returning ceremony to be so troublesome. They even had to rush. “Sect master, where are we going to attend the ceremony?”

“The sect returning ceremony will be held in the capital of the central region, which is very far away from us. Even if we use a flying-type magic tool, it will probably take nearly a month.”

Ye Xuan was shocked. He didn’t expect the place to be so remote, “Then we won’t be able to make it in time.”

Lin Yuanheng smiled and said, “Elder Ye, you don’t have to worry. There are teleportation arrays in some towns. We can use them to greatly shorten the distance. I think it will only take ten days to half a month.”

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s so advanced. There’s even a teleportation array. In that case, why don’t they set one up in every place? It’ll be more convenient for everyone.”

Lin Yuanheng’s expression was a little strange. This was common sense but Ye Xuan seemed to know nothing about it.

After all, he had just reached this continent not long ago, so he was not as good as the locals. Moreover, Ye Xuan did not use a teleportation array when he left his home, so he was not clear about the situation here.

“Building a teleportation formation consumes a great amount of manpower and money, and it requires a formation master of level 7 and above to set it up. Formation masters are extremely rare nowadays, and those of the level 7 and above are even rarer.”

Lin Yuanheng patiently explained. It involved the problem of spatial distance. If an array master was not qualified enough, it was easy to cause major casualties.

Therefore, not every place had a teleportation array. Only those prosperous big towns, which were important hubs, would have a teleportation array.

The nearest teleportation array was in Shazhou City. They would probably need to travel for another night to reach there.

“In addition, you have to pay a large number of spirit stones to use the teleportation formation. Common people can’t afford to use it.”

Fortunately, the current Tai Qing Sect was able to afford the cost of so many people. Even so, it was not a small expense.

“I see that everyone is tired today. Why don’t we continue our journey tomorrow morning? It’s quite dangerous to walk at night.”

Han Yue thought for a moment and felt that there should still be time, “Alright, as Elder Ye said.”

Everyone set up camp and rested.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Xuan took out the paper he had obtained from the Lin family and began to study it, “What the hell is this?”

Although there was no spiritual power fluctuation on the paper, Ye Xuan believed in his intuition that it must have a powerful origin. He didn’t recognize the words and pictures on it at all, so he had no place to start.

He had read many ancient books these days, but he had not found any records of similar words. It was as if these words did not exist on this continent at all. It was confusing.

“So you’re here.”

An ethereal female voice sounded in his ear. It turned out to be Han Yue, “What are you looking at? You’re so serious.”

Ye Xuan quickly put the paper away, but she had already seen it. Her sharp eyes noticed the patterns and words on it, and her pupils shrank. A touch of shock flashed through her beautiful eyes.

“How did you get this?”

From Han Yue’s tone, she seemed to know the origin of the paper, so Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Do you recognize the words and pictures on this paper?”

Han Yue didn’t answer but asked, “How did you get it?”

“I obtained it from the Lin family’s treasury.”

Han Yue’s face was filled with rare shock and loss of self-control, “No, it’s impossible. Why is this thing here?”

Her heart was in turmoil.

Ye Xuan had never seen Han Yue lose her composure like this. Seeing her reaction, he was even more curious, “What is this? Do you know its true origin?”

Han Yue didn’t say anything. She just looked at him deeply and returned to her previous ice-cold beauty appearance. However, if one looked closely, one would find that she had not completely calmed down.

“This isn’t something you should be asking. You’d better give it to me.”

Ye Xuan was a little unhappy to hear this. Han Yue’s attitude made it clear that this thing was not ordinary. How could he give up a treasure in his hands?

Seeing that Ye Xuan was unwilling, Han Yue didn’t want to force him either. After all, this thing was only an incomplete part, and it was useless in his hands. There were extremely few people in the lower realm who knew its origin.

“Since that’s the case, then keep it safe and don’t show it in front of anyone.”
