After the middle-aged man in gray robe told the way to reach the Desolate Moon Continent in one breath, Li Yan and Zhao Min were stunned and dumbfounded.
In the end, they had to pass through eleven small realms on this journey back home before they could reach the Wind God Continent.
However, not all realms have cross-realm teleportation formations, and it takes four attempts to tear through the void and enter space.
If we add the time when Fengshen Continent finally reached the "North Sea", it would have entered the turbulent space five times in total.
That is to say, the distance of the turbulent space that Fengshen Continent entered for the last time was shorter.
The other four times in turbulent space lasted a total of about fifteen years, and that was when everything went well.
Finally, the middle-aged man in gray robe added another sentence.
“Of course, you two Daoists must also find a Nascent Soul expert to protect your safety. As for other ways, they are even more complicated and dangerous.
If you are interested in asking, pay another 8,000 low-level spirit stones and I will draw another route."
Li Yan, who was always calm, felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
If he had not seen that the other party's tone was always steady, he spoke slowly and his eyes were calm, he would have thought that the middle-aged man in gray robe was playing a trick on him.
“Since you clearly knew that we were Jindan cultivators, you should have charged us less spirit stones and directly given us a reply that there was no cross-border teleportation array.
And... you're still looking for a Nascent Soul cultivator to protect you. Damn it!
Pay another 8,000 yuan? Pay another route, and I’ll pay you to slap you to death…”
Li Yan had the urge to slap the other person in the face. He really thought he was a local rich man. Why did he ask for so many useless routes
Li Yan threw a storage bag on the table with an expressionless face. The middle-aged man in gray robe picked it up and scanned it with his spiritual sense, then put it away with a smile.
"I can give you two Taoist friends a guarantee here!
If you get any information in the future that is more reasonable than mine, you can directly find any "Guiqulaixie" store in the market, and we will compensate you five times the price!
Fellow Daoists, do you have any other questions? We can continue the transaction and the price can be discussed!"
Li Yan suddenly had an expression that seemed like a smile but not a smile on his face.
"The next question, fellow Daoist, how much is it worth in spirit stones?"
Looking at Li Yan's expression, the middle-aged man in gray robe was a little confused, but he still responded out of habit.
"Fellow Daoist, please speak!"
"Where is Su Hong now?"
"Xiao... Su... Su Hong?"
When the middle-aged man in gray robe heard the name Li Yan said, his smiling expression froze, and he couldn't help but blurt out the word "Miss".
"Yes, you can't say you don't know her, right?"
Li Yan looked at the other person with a smile. The other person's expression made Li Yan feel that his guess was correct. Su Hong's identity in "Guiqulaixie" was not simple.
If you ask how he figured it out, of course it was from the conversation he had with Su Hong after he rescued her.
Su Hong actually revealed some insider transactions between their shop and the Wangliang Sect, which was not something an ordinary deacon could know.
Seeing the surprised look on the gray-robed middle-aged man's face, Li Yan finally felt relieved.
The middle-aged man in gray robe returned to normal immediately after realizing that he had lost his composure, but he was also thinking about some issues in his mind very quickly.
“These two came here to ask how to get to the Desolate Moon Continent, and the young lady had trained in the Desolate Moon Continent decades ago.
If the man and woman in front of them had not practiced any anti-aging techniques, then it was very likely that they had some intersection with the young lady in terms of time or cultivation.
However, the biggest problem here is that the young lady was protected by strong people in the clan when she left the Wild Moon Continent, so how did these two people get here
Since they can come here, they must know the route back. Why would they come here to ask? This is simply inexplicable.
If they had been protected by Yuanying masters after they left the Desolate Moon Continent, why would they have come to inquire about the news of their return... "
A few simple questions that came and went confused the middle-aged man in gray robe in an instant.
Knowing that he was usually very smart, he was unable to analyze the origins of the two monks opposite him for a moment.
He didn't even understand why the other party would spend so many spirit stones to inquire about the news. However, as a qualified deacon of a shop, he reacted very quickly.
"It's difficult to make an offer for this fellow Taoist's question, as it involves some of our store's confidential information. Do you know Deacon Su, or have you heard of her name
If we are familiar with each other, as long as you show me something to prove it, I can tell you about her for free, how about that? "
After saying that, the middle-aged man in gray robe stared at Li Yan with burning eyes.
Li Yan didn't notice that when he said Su Hong's name, Zhao Min glanced at him slightly sideways.
"Haha, I don't have a keepsake, but when you see her, can you tell her if she still remembers the 'old friend in the snow and wind'
If I happen to see a branch of your store next time, I might ask about her news. I hope you can pass my words to her! "
At the same time, Li Yan was secretly criticizing the gray-robed middle-aged man's words in his heart.
"Let me take out the token? Are you asking me to take out the crystal bone water that I snatched from her
If Su Hong sees this thing again, she will probably hate me even more, not to mention that the crystal bone water has already been consumed!! "
After saying this, Li Yan stood up, turned around and walked out. Zhao Min also stood up silently and left, leaving behind only the middle-aged man in gray robe with a pensive look on his face.
After the two came out of the store, Li Yan's face showed depression. The information he obtained during this trip was not only beyond his expectations, but also made him feel homeless.
"What does 'old friend in the wind and snow' mean? Are you familiar with Su Hong?" Suddenly, Zhao Min's cold voice came from the side. Li Yan was stunned when he heard it, and then he said in his heart.
"Oops!!"
He just thought that if he could find Su Hong, he might be able to find out more information. At the same time, Li Yan couldn't let others know that he was from the Wild Moon Continent.
Although the questions he asked might have made the gray-robed middle-aged man doubt his origins, given his and Zhao Min's cultivation levels, the other party would definitely not be able to confirm his inference.
So how can I make Su Hong remember me without revealing my identity?
He and Su Hong had only met twice, and the one Su Hong could remember was the time when she was being chased and he "rescued" her.
I think the incident of Su Hong being in danger in the snow and wind must have been only once.
She called herself "the old friend in the wind and snow". If she added the description of her appearance given by the middle-aged man in gray robe, the two would confirm each other, then Su Hong should be able to guess her identity.
In addition, Li Yan was not sure where Su Hong was before.
Ever since that farewell with Su Hong, Li Yan never heard of any transaction between "Guiqulaixie" and the Four Sects. Of course, with Li Yan's original identity, he would not know the higher-level secrets.
He just wanted to test the other party, mainly to see if his and Zhao Min's guesses were correct.
But seeing the expression of the middle-aged man in gray robe, it seemed as if he could connect with Su Hong, which made Li Yan feel incredible.
Could it be that Su Hong also left the Desolate Moon Continent and happened to arrive at the Qingqing Continent
So, after leaving the room, Li Yan kept pondering this matter over and over in his mind, as well as digesting what he had learned about the Desolate Moon Continent.
Zhao Min's question made Li Yan suddenly sober up.
My attitude and behavior towards Su Hong at that time were not very good, and Su Hong certainly did not want others to know the details of this matter.
"Oh... oh, of course I've seen her in Peiyang Market before. She is very familiar with Fifth Brother and the others.
Since we think this shop might be the same as the one in Desolate Moon Continent, I just cheated on purpose.
Unexpectedly, the gray-robed man really knew Su Hong. So, our guess was definitely correct!
The reason why he mentioned the so-called 'old friend in the wind and snow' was just a gimmick, he wanted the gray-robed man to pay attention to this matter, otherwise, he might not pass it on.
Then, as long as he describes our appearance to Su Hong, he might be able to remember who we are."
"Brother, what you said makes sense!"
Zhao Min stared at Li Yan with a smile on her face.
"Sister... Senior Sister, don't you think that if Su Hong is really here, and we ask her about the situation, since we both know each other well, maybe she can help us find out some information
"Guiqulaixi" can do business across the continent, so maybe there is a way to pass the news back to the Wuliang Sect. If Master and the others know about it, maybe there will be a better way to guide us back!"
Li Yan felt uneasy at first because of Zhao Min's look and wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but suddenly he had a new idea and he spoke more and more fluently.
Zhao Min on the side looked half-smiling at first, but soon a strange light flashed in her beautiful black and white eyes, and she seemed to have really forgotten what happened to Su Hong just now.
"Junior brother is right. If we can pass the news here back to the sect, Dad will definitely find a way to take us back. Even if it takes time, it will at least give him and mother peace of mind.
We have had no information for so many years, and they are no longer sure whether my junior brother and I are still alive! ! "
At this moment, Zhao Min actually had the urge to see Su Hong immediately. After thinking about it, she said softly.
"Should we go back and ask them now to see if there is a way to pass the message to the Desolate Moon Continent?"
Li Yan looked at Zhao Min's rare emotional fluctuations and shook his head.
“Senior Sister, we are just guessing about this matter, so we shouldn’t rush. Even if the news can be passed back to the Desolate Moon Continent, the price is probably not something you and I can afford.
If we go back and ask the gray-robed monk now, he will just ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
The key point is that after they received the spiritual stones, they told us that the message had been delivered. How can we know whether it is true or false
I think if we can really find Su Hong, it will finally be confirmed that "Returning Home" has cross-border strength. She knows our identities and she shouldn't talk nonsense. "
As Zhao Min listened to Li Yan's narration, the strange light in her eyes gradually faded, and then she agreed with Li Yan's suggestion.
"Sister, we have now arrived at Qingqing Continent, and the first thing we need to do is to resolve the hidden dangers of the Holy Demon Palace.
We can’t rush into the next thing. What we need to do now is to gather information while increasing our own strength.”
When Li Yan said this, the words that Master Qianzhong had secretly conveyed to him reappeared in his mind.
“I should have given you a few more top-grade spirit stones, which would have been enough for you to teleport across the boundary.
But unfortunately, just as you felt before, your strength is too weak. Even if you are given the top-grade spirit stone, you cannot take it. If you touch it, you will die. After arriving at Qingqing Continent, you can only rely on yourself. "
Crossing boundaries is not something that cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can do on their own. Li Yan knows that what he is doing now is far beyond their capabilities.
"Now we have to take advantage of every opportunity to make ourselves stronger. The next step is the 'Wood Spirit Pool' of the Giant Tree Tribe!"
This was also the plan that Li Yan and Zhao Min had made on the Tianlan Grassland. Otherwise, based on the pleas of Aguxi and the others, Li Yan would most likely have denied Zhao Min's thoughts.
Being a good person for no reason and going against an entire ethnic group will do him no good at all. Li Yan's personality makes him unwilling to take risks when there is no benefit.
