Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Most of the disciples in the valley were extremely busy, so Jiang Han didn't bother them anymore. He found an empty house in the corner and stayed there for the time being.

As shown on the map, the valley is located near the foot of Xuandao Mountain, a full three thousand miles away from the bottom of the mountain. The area within a radius of thirty thousand miles around the valley has all been explored.

After putting away the map, Jiang Han stood up and walked out of the valley. Time was running out, so he had to find the red crystal mine as soon as possible.

In the Central Sword Pavilion, Mu Zixi frowned as she watched Jiang Han leaving.

"What on earth is he going to do that makes him so anxious to go out?"

"Shen Er, go follow him."

A dark figure appeared behind him, and seemed a little reluctant: "Miss, the tide is coming, and the defense on the east side has not been properly arranged yet..."

"As long as Junior Brother Jiang doesn't step out of the 3,000-li radius, he'll be fine. Any further out, Junior Brother Jiang won't be able to enter without the Dao pattern on his body. Miss, there's no need to worry too much."

Mu Zixi's face froze. She was so concerned about her senior sister that she forgot to tell Jiang Han about the tattoo.

But it’s better this way. Without the Dao pattern, he can’t enter those dangerous places.

"I'll assign someone else to take care of the defense. You go and protect him for a while."

"If anything happens to him, Senior Sister will be sad."

Shen Er had no choice but to nod in agreement, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

------

A flash of lightning flashed rapidly from below among the rugged hills.

High up on Xuandao Mountain, there were many birds and beasts in the Nascent Soul stage, and occasionally there were also beasts in the Spirit Transformation stage flying through the air, with such majestic momentum that Jiang Han could only carefully avoid them from below along the way.

There are also many dangers on the ground. Along the way, Jiang Han has killed no less than twenty Jindan stage monsters.

Jiang Han headed eastward until night fell, and then he finally stopped.

Although he deliberately slowed down, he still reached the edge of the map in one day.

He walked along the way, avoiding various dangerous places and scanning the area carefully with his spiritual sense, but apart from picking up more than a thousand spiritual herbs and killing more than three hundred Jindan-level perfect demon beasts, he did not even see the shadow of the red crystal stone.

"The area shown on the map has probably been raided countless times by the sect. If there is a red crystal mine, it should have been discovered long ago."

Jiang Han put away the monster's corpse and looked up into the distance in the night. There was a place that had not been marked on the map and had never been explored.

"Perhaps, only in those places that have never been explored can there be a chance of finding red crystal mines."

Unexplored areas are extremely dangerous, but conversely, they also contain the most resources and treasures.

With his current spiritual awareness comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage, as long as he is careful and avoids danger in advance, there shouldn't be any serious problems.

With this in mind, he gathered most of his spiritual awareness into his body, covering only an area of ​​a thousand miles, and slowly swept towards the darkness in the distance.

------

The top of Xuandao Mountain.

There is a clear water lake with a radius of about 100 miles here. In the lake, an island formed by colorful rocks is shining with dazzling light.

In the center of the island, a magnificent gem with a hazy glow is suspended.

As Jiang Han stepped into the unexplored area, the orb suddenly trembled, and a middle-aged figure quickly emerged from it.

Hun Dun's eyes seemed to penetrate the void and looked towards where Jiang Han was.

"Hahahaha! After so many years, so many years! I've finally waited for someone with the luck of a dragon!"

The spirit of the weapon was extremely excited, and let out a long roar towards the sky. A powerful force swept out, shaking the entire lake violently. Several dragon fish jumped out of the lake and turned into golden dragons that circled and roared.

"The Great Dao has suppressed me in this world for who knows how many years. This child is my chance to escape!"

After he finished speaking, he summoned a water mirror, stroked his beard, and kept changing his expression in front of the water mirror until he showed a gentle smile, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm~ Not bad, this expression is still very friendly."

He straightened his clothes, waved his sleeves, and disappeared in an instant. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Jiang Han.

"This little friend..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Han retreat dozens of feet in an instant.

"I wonder if senior has any advice?"

There was a faint flash of lightning on Jiang Han's body, and the golden light of the Heaven-Sealing Armor surged. He stared at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared with a vigilant look on his face.

When this person appeared, he was completely unaware of it. His cultivation was at least one major realm higher than his, and judging from his attire, he didn't look like someone from the five major sects.

If he said he had no ulterior motives by concealing his identity so suddenly and approaching him, no one would believe him.

When the weapon spirit saw Jiang Han's reaction, his face froze, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and it was the spirit of the weapon that spoke first:

"Don't be nervous, my friend. I have a great opportunity to give you. Are you interested?"

His voice was as gentle as jade, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth when he spoke.

The look he gave Jiang Han was extremely gentle, but deep in his eyes there was a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

Jiang Han felt uneasy when he looked at him, and became more alert. He thought that this person was being too attentive for no reason, so there must be something wrong with him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I appreciate it."

Jiang Han slowly retreated. The opponent was at least a strong man in the late Nascent Soul stage.

If there really was such a great fortune, why didn't he take it himself? Even if the other party didn't need it himself, there were fellow disciples or younger generations who could give it to him. Why would he give it to a stranger like him?

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even if there is, all that will fall from your body is trouble.

"I have important matters to attend to in the sect. If I return late, I'm afraid I'll make you worry. If you have nothing else to do..."

After he finished speaking, he stared at the other person closely. Seeing that the other person frowned, his heart tightened. His body turned into thunder and he retreated in an instant. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the words "Junior, goodbye" that dissipated in the wind.

The spirit's expression was slightly distorted, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the excitement and joy he had when he came here disappeared, replaced by deep doubt and confusion.

He really couldn't figure out what went wrong and why did the boy just run away?

"No, do I look scary now?"

The spirit of the weapon took out a mirror and looked around, then gave the mirror a gentler smile.

"No problem, what's so scary about this kind and loving old man?"

He looked in the direction Jiang Han was escaping, his figure disappeared, and he stood in front of Jiang Han again.

"Don't run, listen to me first."

Jiang Han's pupils shrank. He had used all his strength and had escaped at least a hundred miles away, but the other party had actually caught up with him by teleporting.

What frightened him even more was that he had covered his entire body with all his spiritual thoughts and concealed his breath. Normally, even a Yuanying stage cultivator would have found it difficult to detect his whereabouts, but he was invisible to the other party.

In this case, if he is really a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage or the God Transformation stage, it seems that he really can't escape.
