Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

When Old Man Li saw his expression, he knew something had happened: “What’s happened?”

“Hai!” Old Du sighed before he could speak. When Old Man Li saw him like this, he knew that whatever had happened was serious.

“Don’t just sigh, tell us what you have heard!”

“Something has happened at Great Bridge Mountain.” Old Du said.

Old Man Li thought it was something else that had happened. When he heard this, he said: “Why are you so worried that something has happened at Great Bridge Mountain? You can’t go into the mountains now, but you will be able to after some time. Besides, you don’t have to go there, you can get useful things from other places.”

As a loose cultivator, one had to constantly look for cultivation resources. When one couldn’t find something, one had to buy them. In order to be able to cultivate, they had to spend a lot of money. The best and most direct way was for them to enter the mountains. If they were lucky, they would be able to get a lot of resources for cultivation in the mountains. If they were unlucky, then they would only be able to find a few things. They could get money if they brought them into the city and sold the things they found.

That was why Old Man Li advised him when he heard that something had happened in the mountains.

“If that was the only reason, it would have been fine.” Old Du sighed heavily, “Because there has been an incident at Great Bridge Mountain, so Great Bridge City is closed. You are only allowed to enter but not allowed to go out! I won’t be able to go anywhere!”

“What?” Old Man Li was astonished, “Why has Great Bridge City been sealed off just because there has been an incident at Great Bridge Mountain?”

“Hai…” Old Du was very worried. He was on the verge of advancing recently and had originally planned to go to Great Bridge Mountain to search for some treasures over the next two days. Because of this, he would miss his opportunity to advance this time. He may also not have the chance to advance next time.

Sima You Yue saw that he was extremely distressed, and said: “The city closure won’t be long-term. You don’t have to pay for daily expenses, why are you so worried?”

Old Du explained his current situation and everyone understood why he had such a big reaction when he heard the news.

Sima You Yue was silent for a while, then she said to Old Du: “Old Du, I can provide you with the resources you need to advance.”

“What do you want me to do?” Old Du asked.

Sima You Yue smiled, they were on the same page.

“You don’t have to be so anxious, I won’t ask you to do anything dangerous.” She saw that Old Du had jumped up and she comforted him, “I just want you to go out and inquire about news when you are free. See what’s going on here, and pay attention to Hua Wu Xiang’s movements. These things are only trivial things for you. Even without us, you would still inquire about the news.”

“Alright.” Old Du hesitated for a while before he agreed. The provision of resources for him to advance was too tempting, he simply couldn’t refuse. Even if it wasn’t to inquire about news but to do dangerous things, he still wouldn’t refuse.

Sima You Yue picked a spirit stone and gave it to him. It would be better to advance using this. After she gave it to him, she and Wu Lingyu went to look for a room to rest.

After they had left, Old Du looked at the spirit stone in his hand and gulped. Even Old Man Li was beyond envious when he looked at the spirit stone.

Old Du noticed his gaze and quickly put the spirit stone away, then asked: “Old Li, what are the identities of those two people? She just picked one spirit stone out of so many and gave it to me, it seems they have powerful backing.”

“I don’t know their background and identities.” Old Man Li looked a little embarrassed.

“You’ve been following them for so long and yet you don’t know?”

“They didn’t reveal it to me so I didn’t ask.” Old Man Li said, “Although I don’t know their identities, I do know that they shouldn’t be offended. That is my advice to you.”

“Don’t be so vague. Tell me in more detail how powerful they are?”

“Do you know about Happiness City’s City Lord being captured?”

“This is a big matter, of course I know about it!” Old Du answered, then he realised that he wouldn’t have brought this matter up for no reason, “Did they have something to do with this matter?”

“That’s right!”

“They…” Old Du was shocked by the news. When he was chatting with the others in the teahouse, they were saying that they wondered who would be so bold and dared to do such a thing. Unexpectedly, those people had come to his house.

“Not only have they captured the City Lord of Happiness City, when Wu Xiang City was surrounded, they also escaped unscathed. I have never seen them make a move, but I know that they must be very powerful. When they do make a move, I’m afraid that the ending will be something that you and I have never seen before.”

Upon hearing Old Man Li’s words, Old Du was understood. No wonder they had wanted him to inquire about the news, they didn’t dare to go out and inquire themselves. He suddenly regretted making a deal with such a person.

“Since the deal has been agreed upon, don’t dwell on it so much. Although they are a little troublesome, they are nice people. As long as you don’t betray them, they won’t do anything to you. But once they find out that you plan to betray them, the consequences will not be something you can bear.” Old Man Li reminded him.

“But these people are too dangerous!”

“Aren’t our lives filled with danger? If you don’t like it, give me the spirit stone and I will inquire about the news.” Old Man Li looked at him like he was a man who didn’t appreciate what he had.

This was such a good thing, it was something that one couldn’t even beg for and obtain, yet, he was having doubts.

Old Man Li’s words brought Old Du to his senses. He was right, as loose cultivars, their lives were filled with danger daily. So why did he overthink things? His increase in strength was his own.

He bowed to Old Man Li and said: “Thank you for reminding me.”

“It’s good that you have come to your senses.”

“Looking at it now, I think the Talent Trial was just an excuse of theirs. I wonder what they are going to do.”

“That’s out of our control. Anway, remember this, the more you know, the faster you will die.”

“Yes.” Old Du understood this principle. “Look after them these few days, I will be advancing.”

“Alright.”

A few days later, in Great Bridge City City Lord’s Manor.

Great Master Liu came back here again, the atmosphere was very different compared to the last time he was here. He didn’t know if he would be able to leave this place alive. When he heard the Commander’s voice outside, he trembled with fright.

Hua Wu Xiang walked in and walked past him. With just one look, it was as if the God of Death was beckoning to him.

“Great Master Liu, I didn’t expect us to meet again.”

Great Master Liu knelt down without making a sound and cried to Hua Wu Xiang: “Commander Hua, I didn’t do it, it has nothing to do with me!”

Hua Wu Xiang glanced at him coldly: “Speak, where is the ore?”
