"It is said that the ancient divine beast Vermilion Bird once stopped at the Fire Sparrow Mountains, dropping a feather that merged into this land. The earth absorbed the power contained in the Vermilion Bird Feather, transforming into immense geothermal power, which has allowed many spirit medicines to grow here and naturally attracted many beasts."
Bi Luoyue said.
"Divine beast Vermilion Bird?"
Qin Yang's gaze slightly narrowed.
The legend recounted by Bi Luoyue, though somewhat astonishing, was something he knew might be true. Real divine beasts indeed possess heaven-defying powers; an ancient dragon's breath could incinerate a city to ashes.
A piece of Vermilion Bird Feather, with its contained energy, is not something ordinary people can comprehend. It is not hard to understand that it might enable a piece of land to possess geothermal power for thousands of years, suitable for the growth of spirit medicines and beasts.
"I want to quickly go to the Fire Sparrow Mountains to have a look."
Qin Yang said with a smile.
"You wouldn't be thinking about finding those spirit medicines, would you?"
Bi Luoyue looked at Qin Yang, whose eyes sparkled with keen interest, and asked.
"I have that thought."
Qin Yang nodded and said.
"Although there are spirit medicines in the mountains, the area is vast, and some beasts are very strong and quite dangerous. Those ancient martial artists sell the collected spirit medicines in Danfeng City. If we encounter something we want, we can just purchase it directly at the market."
Bi Luoyue said.
"Hmm, let's go then. We'll have a meal first and then go to the mountains."
Qin Yang nodded and stopped the car.
In front of them was a manor-style restaurant, with pavilions and waterside gazebos, green trees surrounding it, and a pleasant view.
Just as Qin Yang and Bi Luoyue were about to enter, a large wolf, robust and covered with pure white fur, walked out from the manor's entrance.
The wolf was three times larger than a regular adult wolf, and its snow-white fur was immaculate. Its wolf eyes were fixed on Qin Yang and Bi Luoyue.
Upon suddenly encountering such a snow wolf, Bi Luoyue was slightly surprised.
"Early Stage Yellow Tier Demon Wolf?!"
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Beside the snow wolf stood four figures, with a prominent one being a man with a handsome yet somewhat feminine face. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and held an ancient bronze fan in his hand.
Next to the man with the ancient bronze fan was a slim elder dressed in a brown Tang suit. The keen light in his aged eyes was restrained, but the unintentional aura he emitted made Qin Yang feel a hint of danger.
"This is an Earth Tier expert!"
Qin Yang and Bi Luoyue exchanged a glance, their hearts slightly tense. This was the first Earth Tier expert Qin Yang had seen on Earth.
Behind the man with the ancient fan and the slim elder were two iron tower-like robust men, whose appearance and cultivation clearly indicated their practice of ancient martial arts body refining skills.
The slim elder and the two iron tower-like men were evidently here to protect the man with the ancient fan.
"Miss, I hope you weren't frightened."
Upon seeing Bi Luoyue, the eyes of the man with the ancient fan lit up, a hint of desire flickered in his eyes—such a beautiful and elegant lady. He immediately walked forward to politely greet her.
"No problem."
Bi Luoyue replied indifferently.
"Haha, no problem is good. My snow wolf mount is very tame, so you don't need to be afraid."
The man with the ancient fan said with a smile he thought was gentle, while stroking the fur of the snow-white snow wolf.
In the Ancient Martial Realm, having a demon beast mount equates to possessing a luxury car in the Mortal Realm. In a society that values wealth, luxury cars are a good way to attract women, just as demon beast mounts serve as symbols of status and ancient martial tycoons in the Ancient Martial Realm.
Women in the Mortal Realm might look up to someone because of their luxury car, and similarly, female ancient martial artists in the Ancient Martial Realm might look up to someone because they have a demon beast mount.
The man with the ancient fan fondling the snow wolf's fur was showing off, hoping to catch Bi Luoyue's attention.
But such a small-minded plot naturally couldn't escape Qin Yang and Bi Luoyue's gaze.
Clearly, Bi Luoyue showed no interest in the man with the ancient fan, her cool gaze just casually swept over him.
"Miss, fate allows us to meet, why not get to know each other? I'm Ximen Feihua, the 'Feihua' from 'Spring all over the city blossoms like flying flowers'. Haha, I'm actually quite poetic and uninhibited."
Ximen Feihua said with a pretentious elegant fan gesture, laughing.
"Someone from the Ximen Clan?"
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect to encounter someone from the Ximen family here.
Back in Qingxia River Valley, the Ximen Huan he had killed was from the Ximen family. He didn't know if the Ximen family had discovered Ximen Huan's death.
Judging by the guards accompanying him, Ximen Feihua's status in the Ximen family far surpassed that of Ximen Huan, after all an Earth Tier Early Stage expert is already quite a formidable presence in second-tier families.
"By the way, I really love making friends; why don't we meet, pretty lady?"
Ximen Feihua said with a self-assumed humorous tone, extending his hand towards Bi Luoyue, his gaze falling on her slender, fair hands, waiting for her to extend her jade-like hand.
He believed few would reject his high-status, rich, and handsome persona with a demon beast mount in the ancient martial world. However, Bi Luoyue was clearly not that kind of person.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in making friends."
Bi Luoyue lightly furrowed her eyebrows, her voice cold.
Upon hearing this, Ximen Feihua's face slightly stiffened, and behind him, the two iron tower-like men looked unfavorably at Bi Luoyue and Qin Yang.
"Ahem, Mr. Nonsense, please step aside; we need to go in for dinner."
Qin Yang lightly coughed and said with a faint smile.
Qin Yang had no goodwill towards the Ximen family members. Also, once the Ximen family learned he was the killer of Ximen Huan, they probably wouldn't let it go.
"It's Feihua, not Nonsense."
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Ximen Feihua's face darkened. He scrutinized Qin Yang before coldly stating, huffing at the audacity of someone driving a shabby Mortal Realm car to mock him.
"Feihua, please give way."
Qin Yang said indifferently.
Ximen Feihua furrowed his brows, but he still had the necessary manners. He stepped aside, remembering the saying about not blocking the path. He, as a direct lineage young master of the Ximen family, also didn't have the habit of blocking entrances. Besides, he had the patience for wooing.
Immediately, Qin Yang and Bi Luoyue walked into the restaurant.
Ximen Feihua watched Bi Luoyue's slender figure, his eyes flashing with intensity, as he turned to head back into the manor.
"Young Master Feihua, we've already eaten. Why are you going back?"
The slim elder frowned slightly and asked.
"Old Han, you sensed the strength of that lady in green too, right? Profound Tier Late Stage. The family always hopes I find a girl with high talent to practice that set of dual cultivation techniques. Don't you think this lady in green is suitable?"
Ximen Feihua shook his ancient bronze fan and licked his thin lips, saying.
