What are you doing?
The scarred youth, clutching his body, kept backing away, staring at Yang Zhen with a look of horror and vigilance.
The Shameless Cat stared wide-eyed at Yang Zhen, completely bewildered, and asked in surprise, "Kid, you're not going to do that kind of thing here, are you?"
Upon hearing the Shameless Cat's words, the scarred youth's face darkened instantly. He let out a strange cry and turned to run, but after only a few steps, he fell face-first to the ground. He tried to get up, but Yang Zhen kicked him over.
"Damn it, why are you running away? Would it kill you to let me have some fun?"
The scarred youth shuddered, turned around to reveal a face that looked like it was about to cry, and said, "You... you can't do this!"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, squatted down in front of the scarred youth with great interest, and said step by step, "Then you'd better answer my question properly, what exactly is the Golden Life Orb for?"
"You... you don't know?" The scarred youth's expression was strange, clearly thinking that Yang Zhen was lying to him.
Yang Zhen slapped the scarred youth on the forehead and said fiercely, "Answer the question. What business is it of mine whether I know or not?"
It must be the devil!
The scarred youth was on the verge of tears, and hurriedly replied, " The Golden Life Orb is a key that can unlock the Heavenly Mandate Spring on the Spirit Road. The more Golden Life Orb you have, the longer you can cultivate in the Heavenly Mandate Spring."
What is the Heavenly Mandate Spring?
The scarred youth stared at Yang Zhen with a face full of shame and indignation. This was something everyone on the Spirit Road knew, and the scarred youth clearly thought that Yang Zhen was playing a trick on him!
" The Heavenly Mandate Spring is a blessed place. Cultivating there can enhance one's spiritual power and stabilize Divine Sense space," the scarred youth replied through gritted teeth.
Yang Zhen suddenly realized and asked in surprise, "Is the Golden Life Orb really that rare?"
The scarred youth gave a wry smile. This was another well-known fact, but it seemed that he only slightly understood it now, considering that Yang Zhen was visiting the Spirit Road for the first time. He nodded and said, " Golden Life Orb can only be obtained by killing Golden Life Ferocious Beast. Now, there are very few Golden Life Ferocious Beast left, so Golden Life Orb are extremely rare. In the Spirit Road, having a Golden Life Orb can be exchanged for almost anything!"
What the heck?
Yang Zhen astonished, and at the same time, he felt as if he were holding the whole world in his arms.
This feels fucking awesome.
Is this what it feels like to become rich overnight?
"Can you even swap women's bodies?" Yang Zhen asked with great interest.
The scarred youth, with a mournful face, replied helplessly, "Don't even mention a woman's body, you can even get a spirit maiden's body, as long as you have enough Golden Life Orb."
"Damn, I've struck it rich!" The Shameless Cat jumped three feet high in excitement, almost falling down.
Yang Zhen kicked him and said disdainfully, "Look at your pathetic self!"
The Shameless Cat flew into a rage, glaring at Yang Zhen and saying, "You said that first!"
"I was just saying, and you took it seriously?" Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat and said, "What kind of spirit maiden's body is worth that much? A saintess is more like it. Besides, do you need to spend such an expensive thing to get a woman?"
The Shameless Cat froze, then muttered to itself, "Damn it, you're just bragging!"
Yang Zhen, with a smug look on his face, said to the Shameless Cat, "Do you have any more questions?"
"That's all!" the Shameless Cat answered crisply.
"Oh!"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's question, the scarred youth shuddered, tightened the remaining strips of cloth around his body, and looked at Yang Zhen warily, asking, "I... can I leave now?"
"Let's go?" Yang Zhen was taken aback. "Oh, wait for me!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen ignored the scarred youth, punched a hole in the ground, and casually waved his hand, Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions runes around him, instantly enveloping him in True Essence, which remained hidden.
"What... what do you want to do?" A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed across the scarred youth's face.
"Plant radishes!" Yang Zhen laughed loudly, grabbed the scarred youth, ripped off his storage ring and the rest of his clothes, leaving him only with a loincloth around his waist, and then, headfirst, shoved the scarred youth's head into the pit.
"Damn it, you said you'd let me go!" The scarred youth struggled violently, only to find his body limp and powerless.
Hearing the scarred youth's words, Yang Zhen was stunned, then turned to ask the Shameless Cat, "Did I say that?"
"No!" The Shameless Cat also looked confused.
"It seems there really isn't!" the person and the cat said in unison.
"You're rambling..."
After Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat buried the surrounding soil and rocks, they stood up. Just as they were about to call the Shameless Cat to continue walking, they suddenly saw the Shameless Cat urinating on the soil and rocks. They stared wide-eyed in astonishment. "What the hell are you doing?"
The Shameless Cat shuddered, then smeared some more dirt on it, looking smug. "Watering it with my spiritual liquid will make it more durable."
"Damn it, I forgot to ask him where the Heavenly Mandate Spring is!"
The Shameless Cat was startled. "Quick, quick, dig him out!"
The Spirit Road is indeed a rather magical place. Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat came from the Golden Road, but they actually encountered other people at the exit. Now it seems that there really isn't just one path leading to that so-called Spirit Peak.
With this in mind, Yang Zhen wouldn't worry about being bored, since not seeing a single person along the way could indeed be quite dull.
However, ever since Yang Zhen found out the location of the Heavenly Mandate Spring from the scarred youth, he did encounter people along the way, but they were all dead, and their deaths were extremely tragic.
"Tsk tsk, what deep-seated hatred could drive someone to such a ruthless act?"
Yang Zhen stared in amazement at the headless corpse.
The Shameless Cat glanced at it and said, "This is nothing. The path of cultivation is long and arduous, filled with fighting and plunder. You haven't even seen a mountain path made of piled-up bones yet."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then turned to look at the Shameless Cat with suspicion and asked, "You've seen him before?"
"What?" The Shameless Cat looked completely bewildered.
Yang Zhen slapped the Shameless Cat, but it dodged it. "A mountain path made of piled-up bones? Wouldn't that be a mountain of corpses?"
The Shameless Cat was taken aback. "Did I mention it? A mountain path paved with withered bones, a mountain of corpses... Damn, I do have a vague recollection of that."
Where have I seen you before?
"Forgot!"
Yang Zhen's eye twitched. This bastard's memory was getting worse and worse, and lately he'd been acting strangely. She wondered if he'd lived too long and gone mad.
Perhaps because they had wasted too much time, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat walked on and, apart from seeing some corpses every now and then, they did not encounter a single living person.
It wasn't until the evening of the third day that Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat exchanged a glance, their expressions shifting.
Not far ahead, waves of True Essence emanated, indicating that there were quite a few people there.
Just as their eyes lit up, a beam of light shot into the sky from not far ahead, Heavenbreaker and illuminating the horizon in the blink of an eye.
A strong, strange aura wafted over them, and even though Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat had seen everything along the way, they were still taken aback.
This power seemed to reach directly to the very source of life. After enveloping Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, he could even feel a tremor from his soul, but it wasn't terrifying; rather, it was comforting.
Yang Zhen looked at the Shameless Cat in surprise, his expression immediately freezing. The bastard had narrowed his eyes, looking quite pleased, and was even purring like a feline.
"Don't just stand there, go check it out!"
Yang Zhen kicked the Shameless Cat, crouched down and walked forward, the Shameless Cat hurriedly following.
There were many powerful cultivators ahead. If Yang Zhen's judgment was correct, that should be the so-called Heavenly Mandate Spring.
