Chapter 91: Became a Tourist Attraction?
"Senior Brother, they are all... dead?"
Li Xiangwan looked at the blood all over the ground, a bit terrified.
Although she had Spirit Sea Realm cultivation, she hadn't encountered any danger since she was a child and hadn't killed anyone with her own hands.
Seeing this scene, it was inevitable that she felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Hmm, dead." Yang Yu nodded, then asked, "Junior Sister, do you think it's a bit cruel to kill them just like that? After all, they just came to ask for the beast core, just threatened us by bringing out the Tianxiang Sect, and haven't really hurt us yet."
Li Xiangwan nodded slightly: "It is a bit."
Yang Yu said sternly:
"Your temperament is soft, and your heart is good, but when dealing with enemies, you must never be soft-hearted. Take Han Xing and Han Wang, for example; since they have greed and evil thoughts, they must not be left alive."
"They didn't make a move directly, that's because they were waiting for the Tianxiang Sect's reinforcements. If we wait until they really hurt us, and then we go to pay them back, it might be too late. What's more, I already have a grudge with the Tianxiang Sect."
"Striking first is the true path. Especially in such a desolate place, kill quickly if you can, to avoid extra trouble."
Li Xiangwan said: "Senior Brother, I know, I will learn from you."
"These two brothers should have fallen behind; let's leave quickly, to avoid encountering the main force of the Tianxiang Sect."
Yang Yu quickly dug out the giant ape's beast core and left the place with his junior sister.
Sure enough, not long after.
More than ten Tianxiang Sect disciples arrived at the scene.
"Junior Brother?!"
"Han Xing, Han Wang?"
"Dead... dead..."
"There's a ferocious beast next to it."
"This is a sword wound, it was done by a human!"
"Damn it, someone actually dared to kill my Tianxiang Sect disciples!"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely find the real culprit and avenge you!"
Yang Yu and Li Xiangwan traveled for another distance and gradually felt the air start to become scorching.
Finally, a valley appeared in front.
At the bottom of the valley, there was a circular small pool.
The lake water was clear, and the lake surface was steaming, appearing quite mysterious.
At first glance, it looked like it was formed by a hot spring.
But this was not an ordinary hot spring, but the Earth Core Yan Quan...
"It is said that the Earth Core Yan Quan has existed for ten thousand years; initially, it was just a small spring eye that would gush out warm water. As the accumulated water increased, this pool was gradually formed."
"In the pool water, it is filled with fire-type energy originating from the earth's core, which has huge benefits for an alchemist's physique. Therefore, every alchemist will come here once."
"For thousands of years, there have been some people or forces who dreamed of monopolizing the Earth Core Yan Quan, but they were opposed by the entire alchemy world. Therefore, the Earth Core Yan Quan became a public treasure land, and anyone can come."
Li Xiangwan read a lot of books and knew a little bit about everything, taking the initiative to introduce it to Yang Yu.
"Indeed, it's almost become a tourist attraction."
Yang Yu sighed casually.
Such a good place, and it doesn't charge fees, so people must come often.
It's just that there seem to be too many people nearby.
The spring water is at the bottom of the valley, and on the surrounding hillsides and peaks, there are tents and temporary residences everywhere.
Yang Yu scanned roughly, and there must be thousands of people nearby.
If it were really a tourist attraction in the previous life, thousands of tourists wouldn't be anything.
But this is deep in the Luolong Mountain Range, very dangerous.
If not necessary, no one would come in.
And the Earth Core Yan Quan is only beneficial to alchemists.
It's reasonable for alchemists to take the risk of entering the mountains to soak in a bath for improvement.
But martial artists without a fire-type physique coming here is useless.
"A bit abnormal." Li Xiangwan also wondered, "Usually only alchemists come here, and at most you can meet three or four alchemists. Now that thousands of people have come at once, most of them are not alchemists; they must have other purposes."
When the two were observing, a handsome young man leaned over and said familiarly:
"Yo, are you two just arrived? Also here for the Heart of Flame, right? By the way, I'm Shao An, from Haicheng."
"Yang Yu."
"Li Xiangwan."
The two also reported their names.
Yang Yu then asked: "Brother Shao, what is this Heart of Flame you speak of?"
"You don't know?" Shao An was surprised, "These thousands of people here are all here for this."
Yang Yu said: "Actually, my junior sister and I are both alchemists; coming here is just to soak in the spring water to cultivate."
"Haha, then you came at the right time." Shao An said sternly, "In this Earth Core Yan Quan, after ten thousand years of accumulation, a super supreme treasure has recently formed, named—Heart of Flame."
Li Xiangwan exclaimed: "I've heard of it; the Heart of Flame is a legendary spiritual object. Martial artists who absorb this object can have their cultivation skyrocket and reverse their physique! And people with a fire-type physique can be even stronger and more beneficial to alchemy..."
"So awesome?"
Yang Yu was enlightened.
Usually, only individual alchemists would come here to soak in the hot spring.
But the Heart of Flame has heaven-defying effects for everyone, not just useful for alchemists, so it can naturally attract many people.
The news hadn't spread too much yet, and thousands of people had already come.
It is estimated that in a few days, there will be more people.
"However, where exactly the Heart of Flame is, is not yet known. With so many people here, everyone is waiting for an opportunity." Shao An said sternly, "The competition is very fierce."
"Indeed, thousands of people fighting for one treasure, experts are like clouds, very difficult." Yang Yu nodded.
Shao An sighed and said: "Especially for lone wolves like us, there is almost no chance. I see you two don't have other companions either, so I want to form a team and cooperate to find the treasure."
Yang Yu readily agreed and said: "No problem."
This Shao An had a good personality and knew a lot of information in advance, so Yang Yu didn't mind having an extra teammate.
As for whether this teammate is sincere or fake, it doesn't matter for now.
Anyway, the Heart of Flame hasn't appeared yet.
"Hee hee, forming a team to find treasure, how about adding me?"
At this moment, Yang Yu heard a familiar voice.
Just hearing this voice, his bones were almost crisp.
Yang Yu looked back, and it was indeed Su Yuechan!
"Young Master Yang, haven't seen you for many days, I've missed you so much." Su Yuechan walked over coquettishly and held Yang Yu's arm.
"Many days? It hasn't been many days." Yang Yu remained unmoved and said, "After parting in Ning City last time, I thought I wouldn't see you for a long time."
Su Yuechan said: "Why, you don't want to see me?"
"Want to, missed you extremely." Yang Yu said.
Su Yuechan looked at Li Xiangwan with her peripheral vision and said again: "Yang Yu, you're quite something, hiding from Bai Zhi and finding another one?"
"What are you thinking, she is my junior sister, Li Xiangwan." Yang Yu said unhappily.
Su Yuechan smiled and said: "So it's just a junior sister, Junior Sister Xiangwan, you can call me Sister Su, or Yuechan is also fine, hee hee."
"Hmm... Sister Su is good. Senior Brother, you and Sister Su are?"
"I'm your sister-in-law." Su Yuechan quietly pinched Yang Yu's palm and said.
"Ah?" Li Xiangwan was stunned for a moment.
Yang Yu said unhappily: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is my friend. Your sister-in-law is currently only Bai Zhi, oh and there is also a Ye Chuxian, temporarily unable to see."
"Okay, Senior Brother." Li Xiangwan nodded.
But she realized something in her heart:
Senior Brother said "currently only."
It seems Sister Su still has a chance...
That's right, Sister Su is so good-looking, even I am a bit blushing and heart-beating, how could Senior Brother not be moved?
"Yang Yu, there is another acquaintance here."
Su Yuechan suddenly said earnestly.
Yang Yu: "Who?"
"Look over there." Su Yuechan signaled with her eyes.
Yang Yu looked up at the opposite peak and couldn't help but change his expression.
A slender figure stood on the peak, her dress moving with the wind. She had both a bit of fairy-like aura and a bit of arrogance and dominance.
The woman opposite also saw Yang Yu.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to suddenly freeze.
"Fu Qinghuan." Yang Yu slowly spat out three words.
