"Within five li of the Netherworld River, the chances of finding three-hundred-year-old Flowers of the Other Shore are high? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Li Yan stared at Monk Fa Ke.
After losing his Divine Sense, he could no longer investigate any area beyond his line of sight, so he had let Monk Fa Ke lead the way in everything.
He also knew the other party would not dare play too many tricks. Otherwise, upon returning, it would not be only Li Yan who suffered misfortune—these three would not have a good ending either.
Still, this was his first mission. Earlier, he had already brushed against some of Fa Nan's rules. If he failed, the punishment he received would definitely carve itself deeply into his memory.
To complete the mission as quickly and properly as possible, he naturally had to treat Monk Fa Ke as an old horse that knew the way. They could talk after first getting through the present hurdle.

"That is because within five li of the riverbank, there is a high chance of drawing the terrifying monsters within the river. After losing our cultivation, encountering them basically means a dead end.
"The most terrifying part is that once they devour us, we will never be able to enter reincarnation. We can only sink forever in the Netherworld River, suffering boundless pain for all eternity!
"Because the Flowers of the Other Shore there were picked less often in the past, they have generally retained their age very well. That is also the only place where we can be certain..."
