In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. After a week of rest, Xiao Yan's internal energy had rapidly recovered to its peak.
After leaving that mountain range, Xiao Yan headed south. According to Sun Huo, the so-called Ancient Ruins were located in Hanxi City, at the border between the Xilin Mountain Range and the human realm. The Soul-Congealing Fruit that Xiao Yan needed was located there.
After traveling for several days, on the sixth day, Xiao Yan finally arrived at a city.
Sun Huo did not discuss the so-called Ancient Ruins with Xiao Yan in detail, so Xiao Yan knew nothing about them. Therefore, Xiao Yan could only place his hopes on some nearby cities, where he might be able to find out some information about the Ancient Ruins.
" Jinshan City."
Muttering something under his breath, Xiao Yan, clad in a black robe, followed the flow of people around him and squeezed in.
Jinshan City Jinshan City is not a large city, so compared to other places, it appears somewhat deserted.
The city is so small that you can almost see its edge at a glance. Of course, if you wanted to walk across it, it would probably take several hours and be very difficult to cross the city.
The buildings in this city are indeed much simpler than those in other cities, and even the powerful figures within it are not as numerous as those in other cities.
Under Xiao Yan's soul perception, the strongest person in Jinshan City at this moment was only at the Late Nine-Star Half-Emperor, while the weakest was only at the Dou Zun level.
However, similarly, this place seemed more peaceful than other places. At least along the way, Xiao Yan didn't encounter many troublemakers.
Even so, this did not disturb Xiao Yan's mood. On the contrary, the fragrance in the air and the gentle breeze made Xiao Yan feel relaxed and comfortable.
Of course, though small, it has all the essential parts.
The city was small, but that didn't diminish its prosperity. Even though it wasn't as developed as other cities, Xiao Yan still managed to find the information he was looking for.
After some investigation, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated. He had searched everywhere for information, but here it seemed like everyone knew about it. Whenever he asked passersby about the Ancient Ruins, they would look at Xiao Yan with a strange gaze, making Xiao Yan feel very uncomfortable.
After several attempts to inquire, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan met with a cold shoulder. Although the passersby knew the truth, they seemed unwilling to reveal their so-called secrets to him without any benefit to themselves.
Furthermore, in order to gain an advantage, several Half-Emperor level experts surrounded Xiao Yan in the middle of the road. Each of them had a hungry wolf-like expression on their face, and the smiles on their lips were extremely sinister.
Finally, after Xiao Yan released his power, the passersby, whose strength was only One-Star Half-Emperor, hurriedly changed their attitude towards Xiao Yan with a look of fear. Their expressions quickly changed to a fawning manner, as if nothing had happened a moment ago.
At this point, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. These people were nothing but a bunch of bullies who relied on their strength to oppress the weak. They were arrogant at first but obsequious at second, and it was laughable to think about them.
At first glance, the several Half-Emperor were unimpressed by Xiao Yan's youthful appearance, naturally assuming he was just an ordinary young man. These self-proclaimed powerful figures wouldn't hesitate to suppress him. However, after witnessing Xiao Yan's true strength, they finally understood just how terrifying the seemingly young man in black robes truly was.
After several Half-Emperor level experts carefully explained the situation, Xiao Yan finally gained a general understanding of the so-called Ancient Ruins.
That Ancient Ruins seems to have been left behind by a former Dou Di powerhouse. As for the identity of that Dou Di powerhouse, it is still unknown. However, as everyone knows, that Dou Di powerhouse seemed to be a powerful figure with a very strong Spiritual Strength. As for whether he was an alchemist or an array master, that remains a mystery.
It is understood that his tomb contains all kinds of treasures, including a large number of high-level pills, countless rare and precious materials, Dou Qi techniques, alchemy cauldrons, and high-level Formation Plate. These things, which are extremely difficult to find in the outside world, can be found everywhere there.
Moreover, according to these semi -Half-Emperor level experts, there are even Spirit Class Dou Technique in the tomb of that Dou Di level expert. Even Dou Di experts would be tempted by such Dou Technique.
Of all these treasures, the Xiao Yan cared about most was naturally the Soul-Congealing Fruit.
According to the descriptions of the several Half-Emperor experts, the most valuable item in the tomb of that Dou Di expert is the Soul-Congealing Fruit that Xiao Yan needs. Moreover, due to the allure of the Soul-Congealing Fruit, it seems that the Four Great Clans under the Heavenly Sword Sect are all coveting it. When the tomb opens, the Four Great Clans will certainly not miss this opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately felt a sense of gravity.
Although he has secretly reached an agreement with the Bai Clan, this is still an uncertain factor. Before it is confirmed, even Xiao Yan cannot guarantee that the Bai Clan will not take action against him for the sake of their own interests.
This would put Xiao Yan in a difficult position. Right now, he could only hope that the Four Great Clans would be in chaos, allowing him to secretly take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
Of course, in that situation, the Four Great Clans would definitely send Dou Di expert to the scene, but whether they would have a chance to obtain the Soul-Congealing Fruit is still unknown.
Fortunately, there are still three months until the opening of the Ancient Ruins. This three months is enough time for Xiao Yan Xiao Yan to make preparations. Perhaps he can come up with a good plan during this time. As for the ruins themselves, he can only put them aside for now, because...
After several fierce battles, Xiao Yan can now feel that his strength can be further improved. His strength at the Early Six-Star Half-Emperor has reached its saturation point. He hopes to use the next three months to raise his strength from the Early Six-Star Half-Emperor level to the Middle Six-Star Half-Emperor.
Although the difference may seem small, it has a significant impact on the battlefield. While it may be difficult to discern the difference between Half-Emperor, it can be as significant as a difference of a thousand miles between Dou Di experts!
