"Oh, no, no, no... Fellow Daoist Zhang, you have misunderstood. If I read correctly, Fellow Daoist should be a monk from the Desolate Moon Continent, and he most likely went to the Fengshen Continent, right?"
When Shi Pozhu said what he said next, although Li Yan had a calm expression on his face, he was shocked in his heart.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Shi say this and why do you make such a guess? This makes me a little strange."
Li Yan's words were ambiguous, and he already had murderous intentions in his heart. The man in front of him seemed to be following him, but why didn't he sense it at all?
Li Yan suddenly thought that Gergan was also proficient in concealment.
"Hahaha, do you Daoyou Zhang want to kill me now? In fact, anyone who meets a stranger in the turbulent space and is told his origins by the other person will have murderous intentions.
However, I'm afraid you won't find it strange after I tell you the reason.
The first is the reason mentioned when we met just now. Fellow Daoist Zhang saw that he had entered the turbulent space not long ago, so he could basically rule out that he was a monk who came from the Far Continent.
Unless you are a monk who was accidentally dragged here, you must have come from the Desolate Moon Continent. This turbulent space is very familiar to me, it is the closest place to the Desolate Moon Continent.
If this reason is correct, it will be much easier to guess the direction. People who tear apart the void from here and enter will most likely go to the Fengshen Continent.
Because this is the most common route to the barrier between the two realms. To put it in perspective, even if Daoyou Zhang did not go to the Fengshen Continent, he would still have to pass through the Fengshen Continent if he arrived here.
Otherwise, you don’t have to tear apart the void nearby to enter here?”
Li Yan didn't expect that although he kept his face, Shi Pozhu could see the murderous intention in his heart.
As the other party explained, Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"It turns out that when a novice enters the turbulent space, he will reveal so many flaws, but this is true what he said. Where a new Nascent Soul tears the void, it is not tearing. He has to run here alone to enter."
But at this time, Li Yan's expression made Shi Pozhu feel that Zhang Ming was a bit confusing.
No matter what he said, he always had a calm expression, as if he listened, but he didn't seem to listen to his own words.
"I don't see that Fellow Taoist Shi is really familiar with this place. He must have had a lot of experience here.
But what does where I come from and where I am going have to do with the deal you proposed? I’m sorry that I can’t accompany you, but please fulfill your previous commitments.”
Shi Pozhu also had a headache. If he could find a suitable candidate, he certainly wouldn't want to work there. It's a waste of time here.
But even if he returned to the continent where he came from, there were no Nascent Soul monks who majored in water attributes among his friends.
And after he had a brief conversation with the person in front of him, he could tell that Li Yan was not the kind of person who would fall out easily, and he could still try to make a deal.
As for whether Zhang Ming would kill someone to seize the treasure in the end, he really wasn't worried.
He carefully inspected the other party and found out that he was a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Shi Pozhu was quite confident in the power of his spiritual consciousness and did not think that he would make a mistake in judgment.
"To be honest with fellow Daoist Zhang, I am from the Fengshen Continent, so if your direction is to go to the Fengshen Continent, what I said will not delay your trip.
Because that ruins are on the way to Fengshen Continent, and I can increase the reward to 600 high-level spiritual stones.
Also...if other treasures appear in that ruins, fellow Taoist can take 30% of it for himself. However, fellow Taoist cannot take away anything from the 'Li Ao Beast'. Fellow Taoist, do you think this is okay?"
When he said this, a hint of heartache flashed in Shi Pozhu's eyes. He was not sure whether there were treasures in the ruins, but the high-level spiritual stones he gave were real and precious things.
Mo Kan only paid a hundred higher than the previous price, but his sect may not be able to earn a thousand high-level spiritual stones in a year.
However, as he explained, Li Yan's tone became more relaxed this time.
"Fellow Daoist Shi is a monk from Fengshen Continent?"
"Of course, I am the great elder of Feng'e Sect. This is true!"
Li Yan touched his chin with his hand and lowered his head slightly as if thinking. Seeing this, Shi Pozhu felt happy, seeing that the other party now had room for relaxation.
At that moment, he no longer urged him, but stood quietly waiting for Li Yan's reply.
After a few breaths passed, Li Yan slowly raised his head.
"I can agree to your deal. There is no need to add more spiritual stones. The distribution of treasures in the ruins will be as you say.
However, I have some news about Fengshen Continent, and I will need to ask Fellow Daoist Shi at that time. If you can tell the truth, I will agree to this deal!"
"The... news from Fengshen Continent, this...
Well, if what Fellow Daoist Zhang is asking about is not something too secret, I can tell you the truth, otherwise, I’d better ask Fellow Daoist to find other conditions!"
This time, it was Shi Pozhu's turn to have a look of embarrassment on his face. The monk was most afraid of prying into other people's secrets, and he didn't know what Li Yan wanted to ask.
If it concerns the secrets of other major sects or monks of the same level, he really doesn't want to cause trouble. Who knows if the person in front of him is seeking revenge in the past.
"What I'm asking about isn't some secret, it's just some introduction to Fengshen Continent, such as those super sects, aristocratic families, etc., and their general strength and situation.
Didn’t Fellow Daoist Shi just realize that this is my first cross-region trip? I don’t know too much about many things, so I want to know more about it so as not to inadvertently violate taboos.”
Li Yan slowly stated his request.
Although he has heard about and read the classics about the Fengshen Continent, of course, it is better to know more and more details about strange and foreign lands.
Li Yan didn't want to miss this opportunity to have close contact with the monks from Fengshen Continent.
A monk at this level must know a lot, both in terms of status and experience.
As for how much of what the other party said was true or false, Li Yan considered that as long as it didn't involve real secrets, the other party would definitely not bother to hide it.
Besides, it's not like Li Yan knows nothing about Fengshen Continent. He also needs to analyze and confirm it carefully. What he wants is a reference.
In addition, he was indeed a little interested in the ruins where the "Li Ao Beast" was hidden. Although he might not be able to get anything, it also gave him some hope.
"That's it... That's no problem. There are two hundred high-level spiritual stones here. Fellow Taoist, you can take them first.
The remaining spirit stones and some questions about Fengshen Continent, after the matter is completed, whether it is successful or not? As long as Zhang Daoyou sincerely helps, I will complete the remaining transactions."
After Shi Pozhu heard the conditions confirmed by Li Yan, he couldn't help but smile. Then he waved his hand and a storage ring flew towards Li Yan.
Li Yan's consciousness first scanned the storage ring, and after confirming that no problem was found, he reached out to catch it.
The next moment, in front of Shi Pozhu, his spiritual consciousness penetrated and found that the ring was not very large, but the material grade was very good.
As expected, there are two hundred high-level spiritual stones that exude astonishing spiritual energy.
Shi Pozhu saw Li Yan inspecting the spirit stone in front of him, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face. Since it was a transaction, it was best to explain it clearly in person.
After seeing Li Yan put away the storage ring, Shi Pozhu's body immediately flew into the air.< br>
"In that case, let's go. How about we talk about the news about Gergan while we're walking?"
So, the two of them stopped talking nonsense and flew in the same direction one after the other... Now with Shi Po Zhu leading the way, Li Yan felt a lot less worried.
As he said, Shi Pozhu seemed to be very familiar with this space, although his flying speed was not as exaggerated as that of Yuanying monks in the outside world.
But compared to Li Yan's previous traveling speed, it increased by more than three times.
However, the two of them kept a certain distance from each other, and they both understood this tacitly.
During the march, Li Yan also began to ask for more news about Gergan.
Among these news, Li Yan was most concerned about what skills the other party had practiced. The sneak attack by the other party was always fresh in Li Yan's memory.
"...The reason why that guy Gergan is able to conceal his aura like that is that although the techniques he cultivates also have a surprise attack effect, the main reason is because of the armor he wears!"
When Li Yan asked about Gergan's cultivation techniques, Shi Pozhu guessed what Li Yan was thinking. Instead, he didn't say much about the other party's techniques, but directly told what Li Yan wanted to know.
"His armor was obtained from a ruins in the turbulent space. It is unknown who made it. Even the Yuanying monks have difficulty discovering it through their spiritual consciousness.
We all call it ‘Dumen Huiyi’, and he used this suit of armor to attack and kill countless monks whose cultivation was higher than his own.”
When Shi Pozhu said this, he paused for a moment, and Li Yan felt the other party's somewhat obscure gaze glance at him.
But he didn't respond, he just waited quietly for Shi Pozhu to continue talking.
"So in these years, Gergan has really benefited a lot because of the help of 'Dumen Huiyi', and he has also offended many people.
He misses a hit and runs away immediately! Not only is he looking for another opportunity to kill you, but he is also afraid of being entangled by fellow Taoists, which would put him in a dangerous situation.
Like before, if fellow Taoist pester him for a moment longer, I will kill him without hesitation when I come over."
Li Yan nodded silently, don't say anything else, just because Gergan was good at hiding this, no one expected that such a person who was good at assassinating would often appear around him.
In fact, he himself also belongs to this category, especially Li Yan today.
Not only is he "sneaking and hiding at night" to be more elusive, but he is also supplemented by "tide". If he wants to assassinate others, even Gergan cannot compare with him.
