The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

"Well..." Bai Jie moved closer to Zeng Wenyu and lowered her voice, "Actually, this is the real purpose, but we can't say this to others."

Zeng Wenyu understood. Everyone wanted something in the tomb, but all the sects were nominally under the banner of exploration. As for what to explore, Zeng Wenyu believed that they would find a suitable excuse.

"This time, many sects came from the Cangling Mountains, including sects from Dakang, Daliang, and Daxin. In addition, the Central Imperial City of the Three Kingdoms also sent people here. I heard that there is a sect in Daliang that has joined the resistance organization. Adding together, there are no less than 30 sects and forces. Gao Yi, why don't you follow our Hua Sect? This way, we can look after each other."

"Forget it. I didn't go to the Cangling Mountains for the tomb of the Demon Emperor. I wanted to train myself and fight against the monsters. As for the good things in the tomb of the Demon Emperor, I am just a cultivator from a small sect. Even if I get them, I will be coveted by others."

"All right……"

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Zeng Wenyu stood up, said goodbye, and walked towards his tent, while Bai Jie also walked towards the carriage.

Bai Jie had just boarded the carriage when a girl who looked about her age leaned over to Bai Jie and asked in a low voice, "Miss, who is that man? Apart from his vigorous blood and energy, he has no cultivation at all. Miss, you invited him to the Great Emperor's ruins, but he refused? Wait a minute... Miss, you are not attracted to him, are you?"

"Xiaodie, what nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Jie blushed, "That was the person who saved me before!"

"Oh, I see. Miss, are you attracted to him after he saved you? But you can't like him, because he has no cultivation. The sect master won't agree. Moreover, people without cultivation age very quickly. At most, they can only live for a hundred years. If you stay with him, you might end up living alone."

"Bah! Damn girl! You're the one who will end up alone!" Bai Jie said this, stretched out her hand and pinched the face of the woman named Xiaodie a few times, until Xiaodie begged for mercy in an unclear voice, then she let go, then lowered her head, the whole person was a little lonely, "Besides, even if I like it, what can I do? My mother has already arranged a marriage for me, what can I do to resist?"

Seeing Bai Jie so lonely, Xiaodie held her hand tightly: "Miss, does the Sect Master really want you to marry Zhang Wei from the Haimen Sect? I heard that Zhang Wei is not a good person. Many female disciples in the Haimen Sect have relationships with him. If you really marry him..."

"Okay Xiaodie, this is my mother's decision. I can't resist it."

The carriage fell silent. Bai Jie lifted the curtain a little and looked outside. She wanted to run away, but how could her mother let her run away when she arranged for someone to protect her? Wasn't protection meant to prevent her from escaping? Thinking of this, she looked towards Zeng Wenyu's tent again.

Although she didn't think anything would happen between her and Zeng Wenyu, she actually still hoped in her heart that he could help her. But when she thought about not being able to sense any spiritual fluctuations from Zeng Wenyu, she shook her head helplessly. The people who "protected" her did not stop her from chatting with Zeng Wenyu today, and it was precisely because they could not sense any cultivation in Zeng Wenyu that they allowed the two to come into contact.

Along the way, Zeng Wenyu never saw Bai Jie get off the carriage again. It was not until they arrived at Cangling Town at the foot of the Cangling Mountains that a girl named Xiaodie found Zeng Wenyu and said that Bai Jie asked her to give him a map of the Cangling Mountains.

Zeng Wenyu accepted the map, asked Xiaodie to convey his gratitude, and then left the caravan.

Probably because of the recent monster riots, Cangling Town is very desolate. Apart from the local indigenous people of Cangling Town, the only people left are the merchants who come to Cangling Town to do business and their guards.

Zeng Wenyu found an inn, took out some silver and booked a room. He then asked the innkeeper about Cangling Town and Cangling Mountains. The innkeeper didn't know much. He only knew that there had been frequent attacks of monsters on cultivators recently. However, those monsters were also very strange. The local residents and cultivators of Cangling Town were not harmed at all. Only the monks from outside were attacked.

Nodding, Zeng Wenyu took the key handed to him by the shopkeeper and prepared to go to the room. Before leaving, the shopkeeper reminded Zeng Wenyu that he must be careful recently, especially at night. If he wants to go out, he must tell him. He will arrange for the waiter in the store to go with him. With local people around, monsters will generally not come out to attack.

Back in the room, Zeng Wenyu had not planned to go out tonight. After returning to the room, he unfolded the map that Bai Jie gave him. This map was already very detailed. The Cangling Mountains stretched endlessly, and this map had the details of one-third of the Cangling Mountains. It also recorded in detail the information of the spiritual herbs and monsters in this one-third area. With this map in hand, at least in this one-third area, there was no need to worry about encountering particularly powerful monsters.

There are more things marked on this map. In the unexplored fog, there is a place circled in red with the words "The Demon Emperor's Ruins" written next to it.

The ruins are deep in the fog. According to the scale on the map, it will take at least a week to get there from Cangling Town, even by flying. However, in the Cangling Mountains, flying is much more dangerous than walking. The sky is full of dangers and the flying monsters are very powerful. Unless you are a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the consciousness realm, everyone will choose to travel by land.

Looking at the map in his hand, Zeng Wenyu chose a path. There were many ferocious monsters on this path. It was the most suitable path for him to hone his skills among all the explored Cangling Mountains. This path had no end and extended into the unexplored fog, but it did not extend to the ruins of the demon emperor.

After a night's rest, Zeng Wenyu set out at dawn the next day. When he set out, he saw Bai Jie had also set out. They went in the opposite direction of him and took a road that led directly to the ruins.

Bai Jie saw Zeng Wenyu from afar. She did not call him, but just silently blessed Zeng Wenyu in her heart. Then, at the urging of the female monks who were protecting her, she started on her way. Before leaving, Xiaodie looked at Bai Jie and then at Zeng Wenyu's back and sighed secretly.

"I hope you will get what you want after entering the Cangling Mountains."

Zeng Wenyu and Bai Jie both thought so in their hearts, and finally they each walked out of Cangling Town along the path they chose and headed towards their respective goals.
