The sunset shone, the fish sang and the people who went out to fish came back with fishing boats and nets. Not all of the Swallow River Valley within the eight hundred kilometers of Yunmeng Mountain were deserted and uninhabited.

On both sides of the Yan river, where the water flow was steady and slow, there was a dock every one or two hundred miles for the ships to stop and rest on the north and south.

Although it was within a primitive mountain forest like Yunmeng Mountain, there were still many people living on the two sides of the river at the docks. The Swallow Country had ensured that this section of the 800-kilometer stretch of waterway was unobstructed, and they had even set up relay stations on the various docks.

Even so, in those remote areas, there were still many robbers robbing merchant ships. A few desperate criminals were constantly watching the waterway that connected the north and the south.

Haotian Merchant Group's three large ships docked at the pier, and the flag on the boat fluttered. In the evening, many people on the boat walked out of their cabins, stepped onto the pier, and entered the small village at the pier to purchase some food or daily necessities.

At this time, Gu Fei followed behind the servant Xiao Yue and arrived on the deck.

There were even more ships of varying sizes docked at the dock, but there was no doubt that Haotian Merchant Group's large ship was the most eye-catching amongst all the ships.

"Hehe!" Elder Brother Gu, how are your injuries? I was busy with chores these few days and did not go to visit my brother. I hope that Elder Brother Gu would not take offense to it. " Seeing Gu Fei coming out from the cabin, Ling Luoyan immediately stood up from his seat.

"Thanks to Brother Ling, I'm fine now. I will fully recover in a few days." Under Xiao Yue's guidance, Gu Fei arrived at a carved purple sandalwood table on the deck and sat down.

Hearing this, Ling Luoyan's eyes flashed with a strange light that was hard to detect. At the same time, she also noticed that the wooden board used to fix the broken bones on Gu Fei's arms had disappeared. Evidently, in these few days, the broken bones on Gu Fei's arm had not only been reattached, but they could also be moved.

In just a few short days, how could his injuries recover so quickly? Although Ling Luoyan was shocked, she maintained a calm expression and smiled lightly as she sat down.

"Elder Brother Gu's injuries have actually healed so quickly. This is truly surprising!" Ling Luoyan said with a smile. She was curious, could it be that Gu Fei consumed immortal pills and elixirs? Normal people would need at least several months to regrow their broken bones!

At this time, Zero Ling Luoyan no longer doubted Gu Fei's identity. In truth, in the past three days, Ling Luoyan had not been busy with shipping, but had used the Ling Family's information network that covered the entire world to investigate Gu Fei's identity.

Although she was on board a boat, and the boat was sailing within the Yunmeng Mountain, Ling Luoyan had plenty of ways to communicate with the outside world. Relying on her Haotian Merchant Group, lines after lines of information regarding Taixuan Sect and Gu Fei soon arrived in Ling Luoyan's hands.

"My cultivation technique is quite unique, so after being injured, I can quickly recover." Gu Fei told the truth, and didn't plan to hide it.

The reason Gu Fei was so calm and collected was actually because he already knew that there weren't any particularly powerful experts on the three ships carrying Haotian Merchant Group.

As for the young man in front of him called Ling Yan, although she had an extraordinary cultivation base and was no ordinary young master, she was still far, far worse than Gu Fei.

Even if this Ling Yan was plotting something behind his back, he wasn't the slightest bit worried. Gu Fei possessed overwhelming strength. It didn't matter if he was scheming or scheming, they were all unable to win against his pair of fists.

"Oh?" Ling Luoyan was startled, then said: "Elder Brother Gu comes from the Taixuan Sect, but if little brother is not mistaken, Elder Brother Gu you don't seem to be a cultivator!"

Gu Fei could not help but laugh, this Ling Yan is interesting, with his cultivation, how could she see through me? Presumably, the old man called Uncle Zhong had told him!

Previously, he had heard from the Master that in the mortal world, those so-called martial arts techniques were merely useless in comparison. Those who truly understood the true meaning of martial arts were already as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, but from the aura emitted from the Uncle Zhong's body, this person was clearly a martial cultivator as well, and had already refined his vital energy and blood. However, it seemed like this person's cultivation had also stopped here, could it be that he only understood the true meaning of martial arts? No true heirs to the martial way?

After Gu Fei left the mountain, he immediately met a Warrior with a high cultivation level. This made him somewhat curious, as he faintly felt that in the mortal world, there seemed to be crouching tigers and hidden dragons;

"I am not a cultivator, and not everyone within the sect is a cultivator." Gu Fei replied. Although he was straightforward, he knew clearly what could and couldn't be said.

"Oh?" Ling Luoyan smiled noncommittally. She also didn't seem to want to continue discussing with Gu Fei in this regard, so she changed the topic: "Elder Brother Gu, can you come ashore with this little brother?"

"ashore?" Gu Fei was a little stunned, looking at his demeanor, he seemed to be from a wealthy or noble family, and there was nothing on the boat. What was he doing ashore? Could it be going ashore to play?

"I have never been to such a place before. I want to go up and have a look, and just want to invite Elder Brother Gu to go ashore and have a look." Actually, this young miss of the Ling Family, who had been disguised as a man, had long since become depressed and panicked.

Hearing Ling Luoyan's words, Gu Fei knew that if he did not agree, then it would be a bit unreasonable. Furthermore, it was this youth called Ling Yan who saved him from the river.

There was nothing in this world that could stop him from being a benefactor. Agreeing to something and owing him money was a principle. Too many obstacles would affect one's mental state, and thus, one's cultivation.

To the Taoists, this was karma. If there was a cause, there must be a consequence. The Daoists focused on becoming one with the Heavens. They were merciless and merciless, cutting off all Karma in the world in order to gain enlightenment of the Dao.

"Alright, since Brother Ling has invited me, I can refuse." Gu Fei said. After three days of training and healing, the cracks on his sternum had long since healed and her pair of small arm arm bone had also grown back together. As long as there were no violent collisions, there shouldn't be any problems.

However, Gu Fei's injuries had, after all, just started to heal, and his arms couldn't erupt with great power for the time being.

"Then let's go!" Seeing that Gu Fei had agreed, Ling Luoyan's face immediately revealed a brilliant smile, as if a hundred flowers had bloomed at the same time, extremely dazzling.

"This …" Gu Fei suddenly felt something shining in front of her eyes. It seemed like … Junior Sister Zhao smiled when she was happy, but this Brother Ling is obviously a man!

Since he was young, Gu Fei had been cultivating the Ancient Body Refining Arts on the Spirit Jade Mountain of the Taixuan Mountain. There were not many female disciples in the sect, and the women he had met before were either Zhao Zirou or some of the seniors in the sect. How could he tell that the Ling Yan in front of him was a woman disguised as a man?

In fact, if it was someone with experience walking the world, they would have long seen that Ling Luoyan was actually a young girl.

"Young master, do you want this old servant to wait on you?" Just as Ling Luoyan and Gu Fei were about to go ashore, the stooped Uncle Zhong, who was dressed in black clothes, suddenly appeared behind the two of them like a ghost.

"Aiya, that scared me to death!" Ling Luoyan suddenly trembled, and almost fell off the boat due to the sound that suddenly came from behind him.

"Uncle Zhong, you are so elusive, you will scare me to death!" Ling Luoyan said in a displeased tone as she held onto her chest with lingering fear. She looked just like a girl.

But in truth, she was also a girl. Only someone as ignorant as Gu Fei would not be able to tell.

"You scared the young master, this old servant truly deserves to die, but, this old servant did not do it on purpose." Although he called himself an old servant, he was clearly different from ordinary servants.

In fact, Gu Fei already knew that this Uncle Zhong had been secretly observing him and Ling Yan the entire time, how preposterous. Could it be that I am a man-eating ferocious Beast, and that I will eat Ling Yan? This feeling of being watched made Gu Fei feel very unhappy, thus, when the Uncle Zhong came out from the shadows, his expression became displeased.

"Alright, you can stay on the ship. I can't feel at ease without you watching me on the ship!" Ling Luoyan said, she did not want anyone to be between her and Gu Fei.

"Yes sir!" The Uncle Zhong glanced at Gu Fei and retreated.

The two of them jumped onto the pier and, ignoring the shocked gazes of the people on the pier, headed ashore. Jumping onto the dock from a ship that was dozens of feet high. If it were an ordinary person, it would be no different than suicide.

At dusk, the sun was bright red on the mountains to the west, emitting the last rays of the day's light. It dyed the few clouds drifting in the sky a fiery red, as if there was a great fire burning within the clouds.

They were using limestone tiles under their feet, and it was the type that used a single bluestone to pave the way for them. Gu Fei realized that these bluestones did not only contain the marks left behind by the carriages after many years of travel.

Beside the pier was a relay station. At the entrance of the relay station, several armored soldiers were surrounding a table. They shouted until their ears and ears were red. On the table, there seemed to be an inverted white porcelain bowl.

"What are they doing?" Gu Fei stopped and asked curiously, looking at the soldiers, they did not seem to be arguing.

"No way!" Ling Luoyan looked at Gu Fei with a strange gaze: "You don't even know this?"

"I don't know. Should I know?" Gu Fei laughed awkwardly and said. His tone was very serious, not faking it.

"Open!" Four, five, six, fifteen, haha... "I've won! Hurry up and give me the money! Hurry up and give me the money!" A bearded man who looked like an officer lifted the upturned porcelain bowl on the table with one hand and started shouting.

They are playing a game, there are three square objects in the bowl, there are six sides on it, each side has one to six points, this thing is called dice, they are gambling on the size, even if they win the big points, if they don't, they lose. Ling Luoyan smiled as she explained.

Upon hearing this, the surprised look on Gu Fei's face immediately disappeared, and he did not stay any longer. He started walking forward, and it was no wonder that all living things that could transcend the cycle of reincarnation did not have a single one, and to a large extent, it was the loss of hope for their future.

The small village on the dock actually didn't have much to show for it. The two of them walked around the village for a while before arriving at a quiet forest outside the village.

"Brother Ling, is your boat heading south? "Where is your destination?" As the two walked along the small path in the forest, Gu Fei suddenly asked. Gu Fei had long known that Haotian Merchant Group was moving south.

Ling Luoyan thought for a moment, then said: "The destination of the ship is the Greenstone Town after leaving the Yunmeng Mountain, but our caravan, needs to head to the Southern Wasteland's direction."

"Southern Wasteland?" Gu Fei could not help but be moved, this was such a coincidence? His destination, was also Southern Wasteland!
