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

“Hiss…Brother, now that you said that, I’m really a little scared. Fortunately, you stopped me from doing it at that time, otherwise it might have been terrible!”

"Not only that, do you know the rumors about this sea area? Do you know about the White Mist Forest?"

"Yes, I heard that place is a taboo among the fishermen here. They are not even allowed to mention it after going out to sea."

"Not only that, you should know that the White Mist Forest is about to appear. I have inquired about it. Once the White Mist Forest is about to appear, as long as human blood appears on the sea, the White Mist Forest will appear immediately and will surround you directly. You will not disappear unless you go in. You all know how terrible the White Mist Forest is said to be. There are rumors that even the big guys in the robbery realm have been trapped in it..."

"Phew... Boss, you are so awesome! Thank you for saving all of us! I will never argue with you again!"

"Don't be so quick to flatter me, you guys! I actually have another idea," the boss suddenly laughed sinisterly, "Have you ever thought about how many good things there are in the White Mist Forest, since it has deceived so many cultivators over the years? Pills? Magical weapons? Martial arts? Spiritual stones?"

"Boss, what do you mean..."

"Hey, your boss has prepared something. Take a look at this," he took out a compass from his storage ring. "This magic weapon is called an orienteering device. No matter which direction you turn, it will always point to the north. With this thing, we won't get lost in the White Mist Forest. As long as we go in, won't all the elixirs, magic weapons, skills, and spirit stones be ours?!"

"Great!" After hearing what the boss said, his group of younger brothers cheered, "Follow the boss and you'll have meat to eat! The boss is so smart!"

"Alright, alright, stop shouting here, keep your voices down, so that others won't hear us. We need to keep quiet and make a fortune, okay?" The boss continued after seeing his brothers quiet down, "Now, everyone set up camp. We'll rest tonight. When the White Mist Forest appears in two days, follow me in!"

After stirring up the emotions of his younger brothers, the boss nodded with satisfaction. He had no habit of setting up a tent, so he turned around and walked into the small mud house behind him.

Of course, the boss didn't know that Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi were in the adobe house. The moment he entered and closed the door, Zeng Wenyu covered his mouth with his hand, and then Mu Zhi's spiritual energy bound his body, making him unable to move.

With his hand covering the boss's mouth, Zeng Wenyu only felt a spiritual power slowly invading his hand. This feeling gave Zeng Wenyu a sense of déjà vu. He vaguely remembered... it seemed that he had seen such a method somewhere?

Pinching the boss' mouth to prevent him from shouting, Zeng Wenyu moved from behind him to the front of him for a closer look. Sure enough, he knew the boss of this group of people. No wonder he felt that he was very familiar with the boss's method of inciting the emotions of those younger brothers. It turned out that he was an "old acquaintance".

"Hey, Longtan? It's you!" Zeng Wenyu looked at the man in front of him with a smile.

Long Tan, who was recognized by Zeng Wenyu, began to struggle, but unfortunately facing Mu Zhi's restraints, he could not break free no matter how hard he struggled.

"Want to talk? That's fine. I'll let you go but you are not allowed to scream. You must have seen the one behind me. You know how powerful she is. Believe it or not, she can kill you on the spot before you even scream."

Long Tan looked at Mu Zhi who was standing behind Zeng Wenyu. He nodded gently, and Zeng Wenyu then let go of the hand that was covering his mouth.

After taking a few deep breaths, Long Tan looked at Zeng Wenyu in front of him with a complicated expression: "No...why are you here too? It's definitely no good meeting you!"

"What do you mean? We were teammates who escaped together. How can you say something so chilling?"

"Bah! What do you mean by escaping together? It was clearly you and the people from Hua Zong who conspired against me, and I actually thought you and I were in this together!"

"Don't worry about those details. Besides, didn't you get a lot of benefits in the end?" Zeng Wenyu shrugged and changed the subject. "Are you going to the White Mist Forest this time? So those little brothers of yours outside are actually cannon fodder you recruited?"

"Hush..." Longtan hurriedly asked Zeng Wenyu to lower his voice, "What do you mean by cannon fodder? They are all brothers I have known for some time, how can they be called cannon fodder! As for going to the White Mist Forest together? We must go to the White Mist Forest, but they will go in, and I will just be outside preparing to take the resources they have collected."

Zeng Wenyu frowned at Longtan's words: "If they can't get out after they go in, how are you going to get the resources they have collected?"

“Hehe, this is my own secret…” Long Tan hadn’t finished speaking when he felt his body tighten. The spiritual energy that bound him began to slowly tighten. “No, no, no, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!”

Feeling the tightened spiritual energy on his body relax again, Long Tan lowered his voice and said, "I have tampered with their storage rings. Once they put the collected things into the storage bags, I can selectively transfer the things in their storage bags to my own storage bag."

"Then why don't you go in? Why would they go in on their own if you don't go in?"

"Hehe, this is what I can do. I can use mud to create my own clone, and then let the clone take the orientation device and go in with them." When he said this, Long Tan saw the suspicious eyes of Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi, "Don't worry, this is my real body! And I can only create one clone at a time, and it can only last for one day, and it will consume two-thirds of my spiritual energy. I can't use my clone to go this way with those little brothers outside the door."

"Okay, then I'll assume that you didn't lie to us, but is the compass you mentioned useful?"

"That's definitely useless. Um... Senior, can you relax a little? I'll take out the compass and show it to you two?" When Long Tan said this, he felt the spiritual energy tied to him loosen up again. He stretched out his hand and took out the compass from the middle of the storage ring. "Look, this thing is guided by magnetism. What's the situation with the White Mist Forest? It can trap so many cultivators. There must be something wrong with the magnetic field inside. Otherwise, wouldn't so many big guys who took the initiative to enter the White Mist Forest have thought about this compass? So I concluded that once we enter the White Mist Forest, this needle will be attracted by the magnetic field inside the White Mist Forest, guiding us to go deeper and deeper, and finally fall into death!"

Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi looked at each other and nodded. If this orientation device was really useful, then General Wang Ke’s wife would definitely recommend it and would not let them borrow the new emperor’s Dinglong Needle.

"Okay then, when are you going to go? I heard that the White Mist Forest will only appear in front of the person it chooses. Do you have any other methods, Longtan?"

"No, what I just said was to deceive those brothers outside, just to prevent them from causing trouble here. As for those things in Anbei City, I did read them in ancient books. I would rather believe them than not. Besides, we are just a bunch of small people, we can't really provoke a fortress city...

And I actually want to bring people to stay here recently. As long as the White Mist Forest appears, this area of ​​the sea will be able to see where it is, so I am not afraid of missing it."

It must be said that compared to Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi who temporarily asked the fishermen for information, Longtan, who had been planning for Baiwulin for a long time and had gathered a large group of younger brothers, had done more homework. Moreover, from the moment Longtan was captured by Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi as soon as he entered the earth house, he had already been tricked by Mu Zhi. The reason why he told all these things was because Mu Zhi's spiritual energy tied to him brought some transparent gas, which would make Longtan subconsciously believe the two. As for whether Longtan would use Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi's inertial thinking to deceive them? Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi would never think of this option, because Mu Zhi's cultivation was much higher than Longtan's, and he had no way to resist Mu Zhi, not to mention that it was just to make him subconsciously believe the two, instead of being controlled by Mu Zhi.

Just when Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi were about to ask some other small questions, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. It was Longtan's younger brother who came to call him out for dinner. They had collected a lot of fish caught by the fishermen today. After setting up camp and pitching the tents, they grilled the fish. Now that they were done, they were sent to Longtan, the boss.
