When Yupei heard this, she burst into tears.

"Woo, woo, woo, sister, you have to believe in me. I have been trapped for hundreds of years and finally see the dawn of revenge. I hope that after you take my spiritual object, you can avenge me."

No matter how desperately the voice in the jade pendant begged, the coldness on He Ling's face never disappeared.

There are too many intrigues in the world of cultivating immortals, and she is not familiar with the Southern Region. Now if she rashly believes the words of a jade pendant, she is simply seeking death.

After a while, when the crying sound in the jade pendant faded a lot, He Ling's voice was heard again.

"What is Shangqing Mountain?"

Yupei was a little surprised. "Sister, you don't even know about Shangqing Mountain? Could it be that you are not from the Eastern Region?"

He Ling didn't say anything, just remained silent.

The jade pendant started talking.

"Shangqing Mountain is one of the three major forces in the Eastern Region and is the main gate of Shangqing Monastery. Sister, if you help me get revenge, I will help you join Shangqing Monastery. How about that?"

"Shangqing Temple? What are the other two major forces?"

"Sister, it's Kongoji Temple and Tianhong Academy."

He Ling wrote down these three names but didn't say anything.

"Do you know where around here are monks gathering to trade?"

The voice in the jade pendant was a little embarrassed. "Sister, I have been trapped in this jade pendant for hundreds of years. I am not familiar with this area. If you want to trade something, you can go directly to the big city to trade."

Seeing He Ling fall silent again, Yupei suddenly understood something, "Sister, if you don't want to go to the big city, I have quite a few spiritual objects in my collection that might be able to meet your needs."

He Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, "How far is your collection from here?"

Yupei was delighted. "My sister is not far away. She is just a hundred miles away, in a mountain called Ancient Peach Mountain."

"Are there any lightning spirit trees or seeds in there?"

"This..." The voice hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister, although I don't have it in my collection, I know of a place near Ancient Peach Mountain where there is such a spiritual object."

"Really?"

"Really, sister, I'm not lying to you."

"I do not believe."

"........."

"Then, then, sister, how can you trust me?"

He Ling took out a black scroll.

"I have a soul contract here. If you sign the contract with me, I will trust you."

The voice in the jade pendant was somewhat silent.

He Ling's eyes turned cold, "Why, you don't dare?"

"Hehe, how could that be, sister? I'm just so happy at the thought of my great revenge."

"Well, come out. I promise not to do anything to you."

"Okay, sister."

A puff of white smoke came out of the jade pendant, and then a ball of white light floated out. Although it had no eyes, He Ling could feel it glanced at him.

After it swore the oath, it shot out a white mist towards the soul contract, and three red dots appeared on the contract. The pattern on the scroll was half completed, and it was obvious that it had signed the contract.

He Ling also immediately dripped a drop of blood, and the scroll turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared, indicating that the soul contract had been completed.

Looking at the ball of light that was safe and sound, He Ling felt relieved. It seemed that this thunder-type spiritual wood should be real.

But at this time, the white light ball flickered a little, "Sister's blood is really magical."

He Ling ignored it, and the ball of light returned to the jade pendant.

"Give me the location of Ancient Peach Mountain. As for your great vengeance, I will not avenge you until I am strong enough."

"You don't need to tell me, sister. I know the place is here..."

He Ling did not set off in a hurry, but instead looked for a few maps in the city. It was strange that these maps were drawn in other directions in great detail, but there was no map in the direction of Gutao Mountain.

However, the information that mortals can obtain is very limited, so He Ling doesn't care much about it.

It was evening when He Ling finally set out. Before leaving, the soft and weak female voice sounded again.

"Sister, there were quite a few spirit stones scattered around here when I first came here. Would you like to take these with you?"

"No need."

"But, there is a top-grade spirit stone among them."

"........"

"Where is the place?"

Soon she arrived at a mountain range ten miles away and entered a cave. She scanned the area with her spiritual sense and made sure there was no danger before she walked in.

The surrounding area is full of jade-white stalactites, emitting a glowing white light in the darkness.

He Ling soon discovered a pool of water emitting spiritual energy. The Blood Soul Vine stretched out its branches and dug out an egg-sized jade-white spiritual stone from the bottom of the pool.

He Ling held it in his hand and looked at it.

"What a pure spiritual energy."

Although it is not large in size, the spiritual energy content in it is quite astonishing. It’s a pity that this is a high-grade spiritual stone with water attribute.

It would be better if it had no attributes or fire and gold attributes.

Putting the spirit stone into her storage bag, she headed towards the direction of Ancient Peach Mountain.

She didn't dare to go too far, so she had to take a roundabout way. It took her more than ten days to travel half the distance.

Going further, she discovered Daqian's black-armored army.

They camped at the foot of a mountain but did not move.

"Sure enough, the Kingdom of Yue has a close relationship with the Qianwu Empire."

However, at this moment, a trace of doubt arose in her heart. This place was obviously not the border of the Southern Territory. Why would the Black Armored Army be stationed here?

The road ahead was blocked by a group of black-armored soldiers who were ready for battle. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the jade pendant was like a bright light, pointing out the direction for He Ling in time.

So, she twisted and turned in circles in the vast mountains and miraculously managed to avoid the defense line of the Black Armor Army.

Despite this, this detour slowed down their progress. It took them more than ten days to travel more than twenty miles.

But who could have imagined that just a short distance ahead, a massive mass of Black Armored Soldiers would appear again! He Ling keenly sensed that something was amiss. She pulled out the jade pendant and asked, "Why are there so many Black Armored Soldiers gathering in the direction of Ancient Peach Mountain? Is there some hidden secret?"

An equally bewildered voice emanated from the jade pendant. "Sister, to be honest, I know nothing about this either. I've been trapped in this jade pendant for a full century. Time has flown by, and the world is ever-changing. From what I can remember, this Ancient Peach Mountain was just an ordinary, unremarkable mountain."

After hearing the ambiguous answer from the jade pendant, He Ling pondered for a moment.

Finally, she decided to continue moving forward cautiously. On the way here, she also looked around. Not to mention the gathering place of cultivators, there was not even a town. If she did not want to risk being exposed and go to the jurisdiction of Qianwu Empire, she could only think of the spiritual wood.

However, this jade pendant was also made a hundred years ago, so it must know many little-known and rarely visited mountain trails.

Sure enough, it was precisely by relying on this strategy of specifically choosing small mountain paths to walk on that He Ling gradually shortened the distance between him and Gutao Mountain.

After walking another twenty or thirty miles, she saw a towering peak. The peak was straight, like a bamboo pole standing on the earth.

Looking up, I saw countless white clouds surrounding the giant peak, and it seemed as if there was no end in sight.

At this time, the soft and weak female voice sounded again, "Sister, after passing this peak, we will reach Ancient Peach Mountain."

"it is good."

When we arrived near Gutao Mountain, we found that the area was deserted. There were neither black-armored soldiers nor any human beings.

He Ling stepped on a flying sword, flew at low altitude, and moved forward.

Not long after He Ling flew past, two shield lights suddenly flew in the sky.

The light and shadow dissipated, revealing two old men with white hair and beards. They did not have any flying magic tools, yet they were able to stand in mid-air. They were actually two Jindan cultivators!

One of the old men frowned.

"Zhao Qifeng, is this where you sensed the aura of the cultivator? Why is there nothing here?"

Zhao Qifeng was also a little surprised. "I did sense it here, right?"

He snapped his fingers in front of him, and a formation rune suddenly lit up in the empty air where He Ling had been able to pass through without any hindrance!

"That's right. The formation I set up hasn't been broken. How could this person disappear?"

Another old man showed displeasure, "You must have been practicing the formation and become stupid. The formation is not broken, and there are no people around. How could she walk in so brazenly?

It must be some low-level beast, and you mistook it for a monk."

Now it seemed that this was the only explanation that could explain the current situation. Zhao Qifeng could only nod his head, "But it really is like that."

"Alright, let's go back. Even if there really is a cultivator, she wouldn't be stupid enough to break into this ancient forbidden area."

"Haha, yes."

Two beams of light flashed by, leaving only the sound of wind.

He Ling had no idea about this.

After flying for a while, we saw a round mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

The jade pendant said happily, "Sister, look, look, that's the Ancient Peach Mountain. Let's go there quickly."

He Ling was unmoved. "Let's not worry about the Ancient Peach Mountain for now. First, tell me where the Thunder Spirit Tree is."

"Ah, sister, this Ancient Peach Mountain is right here. When you see it, don't you want to get the spiritual objects in my collection first?"

He Ling shook his head. "I'm not in a hurry. How can this spiritual creature grow wings and fly in the mountains? First, tell me where the thunder spirit tree is."

"Is that so? Okay then, sister."
