New to the place, Xu Yi dared not let his guard down. He found a secluded spot, carved out a stone chamber, and hid inside to listen as Huang Mei gave him a basic rundown.
Unfortunately, the memories Huang Mei had absorbed were incomplete, and many of the details were missing.
He only told Xu Yi that this place had gathered nearly all the top experts from the Eastern Continent and Western Continent, along with many factions and powers. They were all busy over something called Immortal Spirit Grass.
As for anything else, he couldn't remember.
While chatting with Huang Mei, Xu Yi ate and drank. Before he'd gotten used to the immortal spirit energy, he simply relaxed his mind, bathed in its thick currents, and fell into a deep sleep.
He had no idea how long he'd been asleep when Huang Mei kicked him awake. Zhang Fang had arrived.
Zhang Fang looked thoroughly displeased, as though Xu Yi had dug up his family's ancestral grave.
Xu Yi wasn't about to humor him. He took out a corpse pill and toyed with it in his palm. Zhang Fang's expression immediately softened.

Xu Yi said, "I told you earlier that I'd come sooner or later. Well, here I am. This is your territory, and I don't know my way around, so I'll have to trouble you to show me the ropes. Once I've gotten familiar with the place, I'll naturally give you the corpse pill. What use would I have for it? I can promise you that. You can rest easy."
