Chapter 1696: Everyone Is a Heavenly Pride

From the conversation, Ye Zhangqing also learned the youth's name, which was Aniu.

This name was given to him by the elder brother he spoke of, and that so-called elder brother was merely someone who had been sent to Liufang Dizhi earlier.

He was somewhat older, his cultivation was the highest, and thus a group of people gathered around him.

Upon hearing Aniu's words, Ye Zhangqing and the other fellow Shī xiōng all felt mixed emotions; to have Shèngjìng cultivation at such a young age.

Aniu's talent can be said to be not inferior to Xu Jie and the others; placed in Zhu Tian Wan Jie, no matter which faction he joins, he is undoubtedly a Heavenly Pride.

He would certainly receive strong nurturing from the Sect, but in the Immortal Realm, someone like Aniu became what is called a defective product.

Abandoned by his parents at birth, he was thrown into this bird-shitless Liufang Dizhi, where he could only await death.

Aniu also did not know how to leave Liufang Dizhi, but after his words fell, he paused for a moment, then Aniu continued speaking.

"But perhaps the elder brother knows, after all he has spent the most time in Liufang Dizhi."

In Aniu's heart, that so-called elder brother is the most reliable person in the world.

From childhood, he protected him, taught him Xiūliàn and life; in Aniu's mind, the elder brother was like a father.

Therefore, whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, asking the elder brother was always right.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded; it seemed that for now that was all they could do, and he then suggested letting Aniu lead the way to meet his elder brother together.

"But the fallen beast..............."

As for that, Aniu didn't think much of it, merely looking with some helplessness at that dying fallen beast.

This fallen beast counts as a treasure in Liufang Dizhi, and everyone is fighting over it.

After all, in Liufang Dizhi, besides the fallen beast, there is nothing else that counts as a treasure.

Things like heavenly materials and earthly treasures, elixirs and magical treasures—those simply do not exist.

Seeing Aniu's embarrassed look, Ye Zhangqing nodded at Liu Shuang beside him and said.

"Second Senior Sister."

Liu Shuang instantly understood Ye Zhangqing's meaning, nodded in response, and turned to go to the fallen beast's side.

Looking at Xu Jie and Lu Youyou still arguing, Liu Shuang helplessly gave them a glance, not even bothering to see what the situation was, still discussing here whether to eat it.

However, just as Liu Shuang approached, she likewise smelled that fragrance, which was wafting from the fallen beast's wound.

Furrowing her brow, she wondered, "Is this fallen beast really that fragrant?"

However, the matter at hand was urgent; Liu Shuang took out a healing elixir from her Space Ring and fed it to the fallen beast.

Seeing the elixir Liu Shuang took out, Aniu nearby wore a look of curiosity.

Having lived in Liufang Dizhi since he could remember, he had naturally never seen an elixir, for there simply aren't any in Liufang Dizhi.

His eyes full of curiosity, he didn't think twice and directly asked.

"What did you feed the fallen beast?"

"This is called an elixir; it has the effect of healing wounds."

"Elixir?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Aniu didn't even know what an elixir was, Ye Zhangqing could only give a brief explanation.

After hearing about the elixir's efficacy, Aniu's curiosity grew stronger, as if expressing disbelief that such a treasure still existed in the world.

If they had had such an elixir earlier, when they previously fought against other factions, they wouldn't have lost so many comrades.

According to Ye Zhangqing, those top-grade elixirs, even if the injury is severe, can preserve life and aid recovery.

Under Aniu's gaze, the fallen beast that had taken the elixir recovered from its wounds at a visible speed, and the blood from the wound also stopped.

As the wound healed, that fragrance also faded away.

Afterwards, the fallen beast slowly opened its eyes, its condition visibly much better than before.

Seeing the fallen beast's injuries heal in such a short time, Aniu's eyes widened.

This elixir really is that miraculous; Aniu's yearning for elixirs grew even stronger.

"Is this elixir really that powerful?"

"If you like it, I'll give you some later."

Seeing Aniu's great interest in elixirs, Ye Zhangqing also said with a smile.

Upon hearing that, Aniu looked at Ye Zhangqing with eyes full of surprise, light flashing in them.

"Really?"

"Really, but can you now take me to find your elder brother?"

"No problem, we'll set off now."

Upon learning that Ye Zhangqing was still willing to give him some elixirs, Aniu had no reason to refuse and immediately nodded repeatedly.

Immediately, under Aniu's direction, this fallen beast that had previously attacked everyone also became docile.

Ye Zhangqing and his fellow Shī xiōng successively mounted the fallen beast's back; then, under Aniu's direction, the fallen beast let out a long cry and immediately charged into the gray mist.

Inside this gray mist, one can hardly see one's hand in front of one's face; the surroundings are completely enveloped in thick fog.

If Ye Zhangqing's group entered this gray mist, they would likely be unable to discern direction for a while, as this thick fog seems to have a strong suppressive effect on the soul.

The soul cannot be fully exerted, let alone vision.

However, Aniu has his own unique method; he can discern direction even in the gray mist, and with the fallen beast present, the group's progress through the mist is relatively easy.

After traveling for about a Shíchén, the group finally broke out of the gray mist, and before them appeared an island seemingly floating in the air.

The island is not large in area, covered with green plants resembling moss; this is the mayfly that Aniu mentioned earlier.

And this mayfly is the dwelling of Aniu and his companions; all his fellows reside here.

As the fallen beast slowly descended, Aniu led Ye Zhangqing's group to jump off its back; at the same time, several other exiles like Aniu gathered around.

"Aniu, you're back."

"Who are they?"

"Where did you find so many people?"

While everyone greeted Āniú, they also curiously sized up Ye Zhangqing and the others.

Liufang Dizhi indeed occasionally sees newcomers, but without exception, every person who enters Liufang Dizhi is an infant.

Never before have I seen someone like Ye Zhangqing and the others, already adults, entering Liufang Dizhi.

Moreover, there are so many of them, so everyone is full of curiosity about Ye Zhangqing and the others.

Facing his companions' questions, Āniú grinned and said.

"They're all from outside; I brought them to see big brother."

"Outside? What place is that?"

"I don't know either; maybe after seeing big brother I'll understand."

Āniú and his companions were talking, while Ye Zhangqing and his fellow disciples were also sizing up these people.

At a glance, aside from Āniú, the others were all young, about the same age as Xu Jie and his group.

However, their cultivation levels are all at the Shèngjìng level, the worst among them being at the Heavenly Human Realm level.

Liufang Dizhi can be said to be where everyone is a Heavenly Pride, yet in the Immortal Realm, these people are actually all discarded individuals.

In other words, these are people the Immortal Realm looks down on, but these guys' talents are not inferior to Xu Jie and his group at all.
