"You're right—it was luck. Your luck, and the luck of my Giant Stone Clan. A few years ago, I went to Netherwind Valley and found some interesting things. There are things in Netherwind Valley that my clan needs, as well as Nascent Soul Fruits that interest you. I'll set out again in half a year. If you're interested, you can come with me then. But this journey will be quite dangerous, so think it over carefully."
"Also, what the Dragon Lion bestowed upon you can only be drawn out bit by bit through battle. Since you have nothing else to do, why not join the warriors of my Giant Stone Clan in fighting the Ghost Clan army outside the city? That way, you can further improve your strength. And if you earn enough merit, I might be able to give you a little more help when we reach Netherwind Gorge."
Tuoba Chongxiao put away his worried expression and suddenly smiled.
"Nascent Soul Fruit?" Lu Xiaotian's eyes narrowed at that.
"Exactly. Isn't that what you outsiders came here for? The way my Giant Stone Clan cultivates is different from yours, and the spirit items we need aren't quite the same, either..."
"Nascent Soul Fruits are precious, but they aren't of much use to us. There's a secret realm inside Netherwind Gorge. Long ago, several ancient cultivators fought the Ghost Clan there. The place remained sealed for ages, but in recent years, the spatial node there has loosened, and the realm has gradually begun to emerge. If you're lucky enough, you might find more than just Nascent Soul Fruits—you might even find a Nascent Soul Formation Pill."
Tuoba Chongxiao nodded.
"Since even a master like you frequents that place, wouldn't it be too dangerous for someone with my low cultivation?" Lu Xiaotian
