Chapter 652: Chapter 627 Flying King Device
Barbarian Valley is known for its martial artists with formidable physical bodies.
However, in the True Spirit Continent, most martial artists mainly absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, thus they look down upon those who primarily cultivate their physical bodies.
Because cultivating the physical body not only wastes a lot of time and energy, but its future achievements are also very limited; it’s impossible to break the constraints of martial arts, which is a consensus in the True Spirit Continent.
Thus, even if there are martial artists with terrifying physical bodies, they are quickly drowned out, with very few standing out.
Naturally, this also caused the martial artists of Barbarian Valley to be very hostile towards outsiders. Xiao Ye learned all this information from Elder Canglong.
Once everything was prepared, Xiao Ye and Little White set off, looking forward to visiting Barbarian Valley.
Barbarian Valley is located in the Extreme North of Central Province in the True Spirit Continent, known as the Bitter Cold Domain, where snowflakes flutter all year round, and the climate is extremely harsh. Even sect forces are scarce there, making it the most sparsely populated place among the Ten Regions of the Central Province.
This, Xiao Ye did not mind.
He was no longer the young novice he once was and knew that harsh weather and environment were most suitable for tempering the body, which was his main purpose for this trip.
“What? Sir, you want to go to the Bitter Cold Domain?”
In a tavern of the city closest to Chaoyang Valley, the waiter looked at the simply dressed Xiao Ye with a surprised and speechless face.
“Sir, judging by your appearance, you seem to be a loose cultivator. You might not know, the Bitter Cold Domain is sparsely populated, covered with heavy snow all year, and even martial artists of the Xuanwu Realm might freeze to death.”
“Moreover, from here, reaching the Bitter Cold Domain requires a long journey. Strong martial artists of the King Martial Realm need at least half a year of continuous flying.”
The waiter chattered on.
Xiao Ye frowned slightly upon hearing this.
He was, of course, aware of these details. His purpose in seeking the waiter was to inquire if there was any way to reach the Bitter Cold Domain more quickly.
“Alright, just tell me directly, is there any way to shorten the time?” Xiao Ye took out a Mid-grade Primordial Stone from his Space Ring and smacked it on the table, not wanting to waste too much time.
Seeing the Mid-grade Primordial Stone, the waiter’s eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly stopped his chatter, saying with a smile full of appeasement, “Yes, yes.”
“Here in Central State, there are generally various top-notch Flying King Devices. As long as they are supplied with energy, they can fly continuously, and the flying speed is comparable to Peak King Martial. With the speed of the Flying King Device, it would only take about a month to reach the Bitter Cold Domain.” The waiter revealed an extremely important piece of information.
A gleam flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes.
He remembered the last time he rushed back to Taiyi Palace for training; he had witnessed scenes of various forces from Central State using Flying King Devices to attend the Holy Banquet at Taiyi Palace on the way.
No need to say more, Taiyi Palace definitely also has Flying King Devices; it’s just that he hadn’t seen them before.
“Do I really have to go back first?” Xiao Ye slightly frowned, thinking that a round trip would indeed waste a lot of time.
Just then, the waiter, apparently seeing Xiao Ye’s dilemma, smiled and continued to speak, “Sir, Flying King Devices are quite common among Central State sect forces, and here in our Frostwind City as well.”
“Here too?” Excitement flashed through Xiao Ye’s eyes, and he motioned for the waiter to continue.
“Our Central State is the center of the True Spirit Continent, and aside from martial artists, there are various commerce guilds, such as our Frostwind Commerce here in Frostwind City.”
“Frostwind Commerce often transports various materials, so they have spent a great deal of money on Flying King Devices, traveling to various domains of Central State. To ensure the safety of the goods, they also hire strong martial artists to escort them and offer rewards.”
“Sir, if you want to reach the Bitter Cold Domain sooner, you could try your luck at Frostwind Commerce; maybe there are tasks heading to the Bitter Cold Domain there,” the waiter elaborated.
“What a godsend!” Xiao Ye became excited, took out another Mid-grade Primordial Stone from his Space Ring and rewarded the waiter while inquiring in detail about the address of Heavenly Frost Commerce, then stood up and left the tavern.
Heavenly Frost City, although merely a common city within Central State, had a scale that couldn’t be matched by the provinces of the southeast, southwest, and north, comparable to the Imperial City of a dynasty. The roads were broad and connected in all directions, and the buildings along the way looked grand and imposing.
There were many martial artists walking on the street, most of them holding weapons with fierce looks, clearly seasoned loose cultivators used to slaughter.
Xiao Ye looked around and even spotted a few powerful martial artists in the King Martial Realm.
“As expected, there are indeed too many powerful figures in Central State,” Xiao Ye thought to himself, following the main road towards the center of the city.
Although Xiao Ye was now a well-known figure among the younger generation in Central State, not many had seen him, and most here were loose cultivators, so he didn’t have to worry about being recognized and drawing unnecessary trouble.
Just as he approached the center of Frostwind City, Xiao Ye felt the crowd around him suddenly becoming much denser.
In the most conspicuous place, there appeared a mansion that stretched further than the eye could see, clearly holding a significant position within the city. At that moment, the gates were open, with plenty of martial artists coming and going, making it very lively.
Xiao Ye glanced at the plaque of the mansion and then stepped over.
No need to say more, this was undoubtedly the Frostwind Commerce.
Following the crowded flow of people, Xiao Ye walked into the commerce guild and after some inquiry, he directly headed for the task counter.
At the counter, there sat an old man who seemed about to doze off, facing a quiet scene with no martial artists in sight, which even made Xiao Ye question if he had come to the wrong place.
According to his expectations, like the task counter of Frostwind Commerce, it should definitely be bustling with popularity, but reality and expectations are always opposite.
“I want to accept an escort task!” Xiao Ye walked over and knocked on the counter.
“Oh? Accepting a task.” The old man opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes swept over Xiao Ye, and immediately a gleam flashed through them, his originally expressionless face now carried a hint of a smile.
“May I ask, young hero, what kind of task would you like to take? For example, concerning the reward, you can tell me so I could help you find an escort task,” the old man said cheerfully.
Xiao Ye slightly narrowed his eyes.
This old man seemed very ordinary, but in that moment, Xiao Ye felt a very unusual aura from him.
“The reward doesn’t matter, the escort task I want to take just needs to have the Bitter Cold Domain as its destination,” Xiao Ye spoke.
He had over ten thousand High Grade Essence Stones and King Crystals in his hand, so he naturally didn’t care about the reward. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel✶fire.net
