"Just sit here!" The old man took him to an empty table in the corner and asked, "Would you like some wine? The price is extra."
"No need." Feng Xiao said, sitting down at the table and taking out some dry food from the space to eat.
Seeing this, the old man smiled and then walked down.
"Hey, why are you taking this path too? And alone? You're quite brave! Are you here for the Yuanling Fruit too?" A casual cultivator looked at Feng Xiao and asked.
"What Yuanling Fruit? I just asked for directions and knew this side was closer, so I took this road. I don't know what Yuanling Fruit it is." Feng Xiao said, not knowing anything about the Yuanling Fruit he was talking about.
"Haha, is that so? Then I really don't know how to describe your luck." The man laughed and said, "Most of the independent cultivators here are here for the Yuanling Fruit. The Yuanling Fruit is a good thing. One can instantly increase your strength by one grade and increase your power by one stage. It is a rare good thing."
"However, although this treasure is good, it is extremely difficult to pick it, because the Yuanling Fruit grows in an extremely cold place and is guarded by thousands of ghosts. Therefore, this mountain range is called the Ghost Mountain, and ordinary people dare not go there."
Feng Xiao was slightly startled. He was just passing by, but he didn't expect that he would end up in such a place as the man pointed out. No wonder the old man said that he couldn't get out of the mountain at night. This was the reason.
The land of thousands of ghosts? That is a place of extreme cold and yin. Moreover, tonight seems to be a full moon night, when the yin energy is strong. If I stay here, will it be...
He was somewhat worried, and at this moment, Huo Feng's low voice reached his ears.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
After hearing Huo Feng's voice, Feng Xiao relaxed his expression and exhaled lightly. Yes, he was not alone on the journey, and Huo Feng was with him. If there was something he couldn't handle, Huo Feng was still there.
Thinking of this, he calmed down. He didn't want any Yuanling fruit, so he should take this opportunity to rest and recuperate.
So, he started eating the dry food in his hand, and also prepared some for the Fire Phoenix. When the wandering cultivators who were drinking and chatting saw the Fire Phoenix jumping down from his shoulders, they all laughed.
"No way? This bird is your contracted beast? It's too shabby."
"What's the use of a bird that can be killed with a pinch? I never thought Xuan Xiu's contracted beast would be like this."
"That's right, Xuan Xiu's fighting ability is not good to begin with, and he even contracted such a small bird. It's really eye-opening, hahahahaha!"
Feng Xiao, who was eating dry food, looked up at them and said, "I think what kind of contracted beast I contract has nothing to do with you."
"It doesn't matter. We just watch it for fun." One person said, shaking his head and ignoring Feng Xiao. Instead, he said to the few casual cultivators at the same table, "Come on, have another drink."
Feng Xiao looked away, said something to Huo Feng, and then formed a small soundproof barrier around him. He then closed his eyes and leaned against the wall to rest. Without the sounds from outside, the whole world seemed to be quiet. Coupled with the fatigue from the journey, he fell into a deep sleep after a while.
