C99

After everyone had left, Jun Qianyan and Di Mo Jiu continued their way up the mountain.

Jun Qiyan had been paying special attention to the surroundings when she heard the words of the young man earlier.

Originally, there were many forests on top of Qi Qingshan's mountain. However, due to the rain these past few years, the trees on the mountain had all withered, making it look desolate.

Jun Qiyan's mood also unconsciously turned heavy.

Di Mo Jiu saw all of Jun Qianyan's expression. After a moment of silence, he said, "These are not natural phenomena."

The petite youth's hands paused for a moment. Wasn't this a natural phenomenon?!

Jun Qiyan turned around in excitement. "Are these all man-made?"

Di Mo Jiu glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's man-made, but there's something weird going on on on this mountain."

Upon hearing this, Jun Qiyan lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

"Alright, don't think too much into it. Our most important goal right now is to find Saint Silkworm." Di Mo Jiu stretched out his hand and rubbed Jun Qiyan's head as if he was comforting her.

The teenager bit his lips and nodded.

On the vast and desolate mountain, Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu walked for a long time, yet they could not find even a single person.

Just as the sun was about to set, Jun Qiyan sat on the ground with a slight headache.

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked them about the whereabouts of those little brats, Empyrean Holy Silkworm." Jun Qianyan said with a bit of vexation. He felt an incomparable amount of regret …

Di Mo Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "We're up, there's a family ahead. Let's go take a look first."

When Jun Qiyan heard this, she hurriedly got up and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there was a lamp a hundred meters away that was especially dazzling in the dark night.

Jun Qiyan's eyes lit up. She quickly got up and walked towards the light.

It was a small hut, not very big, but it looked especially warm in the dark night.

Jun Qiyan knocked on the door and tentatively asked, "Is there anyone here?"

Following the sound of footsteps, the old and broken door was opened by an old man in his sixties.

Jun Qiyan said with a polite smile, "Old man, may I ask if we can spend the night here? We're students from Tanas Academy. We've been through some things here. "

The old man looked at the two in front of him and narrowed his chaotic eyes. He then said benevolently, "Oh, students of Tanas Academy. If you don't mind how small this place is, come in!"

The old man's voice was incomparably hoarse, but his smile was very friendly.

Jun Qiyan didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily. He thanked her with a smile, "Thank you!"

The room was simple, with only a stool, a table, and a small wooden bed.

"If you don't mind, then sleep here tonight. We'll be going to the storage room for the entire night."

The old man scratched his head and said in embarrassment.

Jun Qiyan hurriedly said, "It's already our fault that we're disturbing you here. Wouldn't it be our fault if we let you go to the storage room?"

The old man laughed heartily as he heard this. There was a trace of admiration in the depths of his eyes.

"Oh right, I have something I want to ask you." Jun Qiyan folded her hands together and looked like a well-behaved child.

Hearing that, the old man paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure: "Oh? You might as well tell me. "

"Do you know about Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun?" Jun Qiyan asked, pretending to be innocent.

"Saint Silkworm?" He knew that Sky Sovereign Holy Silkworm's reputation back then was truly resounding! Very few people in our generation do not know his name. "

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

When Jun Qianyan heard this, she pretended to be curious and asked, "Then do you know of the other stories about Saint Silkworm? I've heard my teacher mention him in the academy, and I've always admired him! "

Jun Qiyan calmly replied.

The Green Edge Grandmaster and the Saint Silkworm Master would be companions at such a young age. The two of them could be said to be well-known figures on the Eastern Xuan Continent.

Of the two, one was an alchemist while the other was a cultivator.

According to legend, a hundred years ago, both of them had received an invitation from the Tynes Academy.

This was also why one was still extremely famous in the Eastern Xuan Continent, while the other was forgotten.

"Oh? I heard the coaches mention it? " The old man replied with interest, "It's really not easy for people to remember Sky Sovereign Holy Silkworm."

Jun Qiyan smiled without saying a word.

"Is there something you need from him?" The old man made a pot of tea for himself and Jun Qiyan, and then took a sip.

Jun Qiyan took the cup of tea. After a moment of silence, she chose to pour out the entire plate.

"I am the descendant of the master. It was the master who asked me to find Empyrean Skysilk."

Upon hearing this, the old man laughed heartily and then said, "That old geezer Qing You still remembers me, an old geezer."

The old man's sudden words caused Jun Qiyan to gape in surprise.

"You are... Empyrean Holy Silkworm? " Jun Qiyan asked with uncertainty.

The old man in front of him was dressed in coarse clothes and sackcloth. He didn't have the extraordinary and refined temperament that he had imagined.

"Mm. Why did that old fellow Blueblood ask you to come here?" Hierarch Holy Silkworm said with a smile.

Perhaps it was because Jun Qiyan was a disciple of Qing Yun, but Empyrean Holy Silkworm treated him extremely kindly.

Jun Qiyan hurriedly handed over the scroll within his storage ring.

"Master only asked me to give you this."

Empyrean Holy Silkworm took the scroll and glanced through it. Then, his eyes lit up as he looked at Jun Qiyan in surprise.

"You have purple spiritual roots?"

Jun Qiyan could not help but nod his head.

The Holy Silkworm Sky Sovereign's eyes lit up. He grabbed onto Jun Qiyan's hand as if he had found some treasure, and said excitedly, "The heavens have truly not wasted my life!" "I never thought that I would be able to encounter a Purple Spirit Root in my lifetime!"

"Kid, stay with me for a few more days. I will hand over everything I learned in my lifetime to you!"

Facing the Holy Silkworm Empyrean's agitation, Jun Qiyan appeared much calmer.

Di Mo Jiu could see the awkwardness on Jun Qianyan's face, so he pulled him away from the Saint Silkworm and politely said, "Senior, it's getting late, why don't we talk tomorrow? She and I will rest first."

Since Di Mo Jiu had already said this much, the Holy Silkworm Sky Sovereign could only let go of his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that you've thought it through. Since it's like this, I won't disturb you anymore."

Jun Qiyan nodded and went to the storage room next door with Di Mo Jiu.

In the chore room, Jun Qiyan looked at the small bed that could barely contain three black lines rising from the top of it. How could she sleep like this?!

"You sleep on the floor while I sleep on the bed!" Jun Qiyan rushed to the side of the bed, looking as if he would rather die than submit.

Di Mo Jiu looked at Jun Qiyan with a smile that was not really a smile. His face was almost covered with the words "You can snatch me away".
