Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. The Jiangnan Province has been one of the most beautiful places on the Tianhun Continent. It was a small country called the 'Southern Kingdom' more than two thousand years ago. Later, after the empire was unified, it became the current 'Southern Kingdom'. Jiangnan Province'.
The climate here is pleasant like spring all year round, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are outstanding. It is a place as beautiful as a fairyland on earth and full of countless mysterious legends.
In the Jiangnan Province, on an unknown towering mountain, a group of people were walking slowly on the winding and dangerous cliff path. Surrounded by mist, they felt like they were in the clouds. Moreover, the mountain road at their feet was rugged and steep. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss and be shattered to pieces. However, the group of people walking seemed extremely leisurely. They walked on the rugged mountain road as if they were walking on flat ground without any fear. They also looked around and talked. Very happy.
A group of six people, three men and three women, were Bai Yunfei and others who were visiting here.
The man in gray cloth walking at the front is Bai Yunfei, and the handsome young man next to him is Zheng Kai. Behind him are Tang Xinyun, Kou Tingting and Huangfu Rui. Behind them, there is a big man with a figure like an iron tower, but It is the blue-eyed dragon that has transformed into a human form, Longlan.
The group of them set out from the capital together after the college vacation. They first took an airship and flew through several provinces. Then they traveled on foot and spent some time walking into the Jiangnan Province.
Zheng Kai shamelessly followed him in the end. He worked hard along the way. He was responsible for all the hotel, food, and other expenses during the trip. He also took good care of Kou Tingting. After his unremitting efforts, , at least now Kou Tingting seems to have changed some of her views on him, and treats him as an ordinary friend.
As for Long Lan, after he advanced to the seventh level, he became impatient with the people who came to 'visit' him all day long. When he heard that Bai Yunfei was leaving, he, who was used to following around, naturally asked to come along. Ever since the news of the birth of a new seventh-level soul beast in the Trial Forest came out, it also caused quite a shock in the capital. After many forces found out the situation through some channels, they came to the Trial Forest to 'visit' .
The 'circle' of powerful people in the Emperor Realm is actually not very big. Every time a new powerful person in the Emperor Realm appears, many powerful people in the Emperor Realm will go there to congratulate them, and at the same time, they also want to get to know each other and get closer to each other. As for Long Lan's situation, there is something special. Many powerful soul emperors came to visit this time, and most of them had another purpose, that is, they hoped to sign a soul contract with Long Lan.
In fact, most of the powerful Soul Emperors do not have contracted soul beasts. For example, most of the many powerful Soul Emperors that Bai Yunfei has encountered so far do not have contracted soul beasts to accompany them.
There is a big difference between soul masters and soul beasts in terms of strength improvement. This difference is mainly reflected in the 'strength improvement time'. Although the soul master's lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary people, it is not the same as that of soul beasts. The comparison is still far behind. In terms of cultivation, the soul master's strength will definitely increase faster than that of the soul beast. For example, it may take forty or fifty years for a talented soul master to reach the soul master realm. Under normal circumstances, it may take hundreds of years for a soul beast to reach the sixth level.
Since then, a problem has arisen: if a soul master and a soul beast are of equal strength when they sign a soul contract, then the soul beast's improvement speed will often not keep up with its contractor.
For example, when the contract was signed, the soul master's realm was Soul Sect, and the soul beast's realm was level five. It is very likely that after a period of time, the soul master advanced to soul master, but the soul beast was still only at the late fifth level.
The world of soul masters has never been peaceful. It is full of dangers. Desperate battles between soul masters are inevitable. In each battle, the soul beast whose strength is far different from that of the contractor is It is very dangerous, and he may die in a certain battle.
Especially for the powerful Soul Emperor, this is even more obvious. Except for some very special people, who can reach the Soul Emperor realm without going through countless life and death tests before reaching this point? ? And if there is a contracted soul beast long ago, it is almost "impossible" for the soul beast to advance to the emperor realm with the contractor. But when it comes to the battle between the powerful soul emperors, a sixth-level The role of the contracted soul beast is even smaller, and at the same time, the mortality rate is even greater.
Therefore, most of the soul masters who had contracted soul beasts before the Emperor Realm will lose their contracted soul beasts in the long years after advancing to the Emperor Realm.
It is also for this reason that there will be some people with great perseverance who will cultivate to the Soul Emperor Realm by themselves. However, this will naturally be many times more difficult than those who have contracted soul beasts to complement each other. And if In the end, if you can't reach the Soul King Realm, then all this is just a waste of effort - it all depends on the individual's choice.
On the other hand, those soul masters who had not contracted soul beasts before the Soul Emperor Realm naturally want to find a seventh-level soul beast of the same realm after the Soul Emperor Realm. However, the seventh-level soul beast and the sixth-level or There is a world of difference between soul beasts below level six. Soul beasts that have reached this level will basically not choose contractors easily. It is very difficult to make them their contracted soul beasts.
And there is often a situation where the soul beast does not die in battle because it cannot keep up with the improvement of the contractor. Instead, the soul master dies due to fighting or the end of his lifespan, and the soul beast gains strength after many years of training. He is getting stronger and stronger, but because he has already signed a soul contract, he can no longer become a contracted soul beast for others.
Therefore, newly promoted seventh-level soul beasts like Long Lan, who have not signed a soul contract, can be said to be like "xiangmomo". Many powerful emperors will come to seek to sign a soul contract, or for their own Outstanding juniors strive for opportunities.
But Long Lan ignored this at all - he didn't want to sign a soul contract with these people.
Long Zhen did not intervene. Even when Long Lan said he wanted to leave the capital with Bai Yunfei, Long Zhen did not object. He just told him not to forget to practice.
…
"Wow!! Sister Yun, Sister Ting, look! That stone looks like a pear! Huh!? That bird is so beautiful! Look, look! There is a strange cave there!! Brother Straw Hat said, There may be treasures in the cave, let’s go over and have a look! Well... let me go and check it out! If I find the treasure, it’s mine!”
Among the chatter and laughter of these people, the loudest one was Huangfului's clear childish voice. They were almost shouting and screaming along the way, extremely excited.
"Tinker Bell, don't go. It's just a python's cave. There is no treasure." Seeing the little girl want to jump into the air as she spoke, Bai Yunfei quickly stopped her.
Tang Xinyun held Huangfului's little hand, looked at the sky, and said to Bai Yunfei: "Yunfei, it's getting dark. Should we find a suitable place to stay? We don't need to walk the rest of the mountain road. We Fly over this mountain and find a place where there are people.”
Since it is a game, it is interesting to walk like ordinary people, so people generally do not fly.
After hearing what he said, Zheng Kai immediately turned over his hand and took out a cyan scroll, scanned it for a few seconds, and then said: "According to the map, the nearest big city from here is 'Lishui City', but based on this it seems It’s a bit far, but I think there should be some small villages around the city. If we fly over this mountain, we should be able to find them if we look for them again.”
Bai Yunfei nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up into the air ahead, only to see two cyan lights flying over quickly.
Others also spotted these two figures, Tang Xinyun said: "Xiao Qi and Xiao Bai are back."
Xiao Qi and Xiao Bai, who had flown ahead to investigate the situation, quickly flew back to the crowd. Xiao Qi pointed forward with his right wing and said, "Yunfei, we found an inn ahead!"
"Um??"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned. Bai Yunfei said in surprise: "What? Is there an inn in front?"
Xiao Qi nodded: "Yes, there is an inn right on the top of the mountain. There seem to be a lot of people there! But almost all of them are soul masters."
Bai Yunfei was amazed - there was actually an inn in a place like this? !
He thought for a while and said to everyone: "Although it's a bit strange... but since there is an inn, we don't have to look for it anymore. Let's go up and have a look first, and rest there tonight."
…
Different from the rugged and dangerous mountainside, the mountain becomes flatter and flatter as you go up. At the top of the mountain, what appears in front of everyone is a flat grassland, like a huge square, and in the middle, there is a A building that according to common sense would never appear in a place like this—a two-story wooden building.
It covers an area of about more than a thousand square meters. At the gate is a wooden stake more than ten meters high, with a long white cloth hanging on it, with four big characters written on it:
'There is an inn'.

It’s on the shelves, but to be honest, subscriptions really disappoint Yunhai. How many readers are willing to pay to support the genuine version is also the most intuitive criterion for measuring the quality of a work. But looking at the subscriptions for the VIP chapter of the first chapter of this book, I I was really shocked... Well, maybe my expectations were too high or I overestimated myself... But in any case, thank you to all the book friends who subscribed and supported Yunhai! Many thanks!
