Junior Brother says that he likes the original me better? That's great! I also think that dressing up like this is not comfortable at all!
Zhang Yunxi nodded."Junior Brother, please wait for a moment as I go and change."
After finishing, Zhang Yunxi dashed toward the Saintess Mountain and disappeared from everyone's vision.
Shen Tian could not help but sigh.
Let's wait!
However, Zhang Yunxi changed clothes much faster this time.
After a short while, she had changed back to her original White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit and appeared. Her long flowing hair was tied into a simple ponytail, and her white armor and cloak were shining under the sun.
Zhang Yunxi's face was filled with a bright smile."Junior Brother, where are we going to play this time?"
Shen Tian replied helplessly, "Senior Sister, we're going out on an experiential journey to train, not play."
He recalled the scene of the fortuitous opportunity, which he had seen above Fang Chang's head.
The place that appeared, in the beginning, was a city in Eastern Wilderness. That city was known as Fog City, and it was the capital where the Hidden Fog Country's royalty resided. It was a great bustling city.
As the previous owner of Shen Tian's body, the 13th Prince would read widely, so he had been knowledgeable about the different countries' situations in Eastern Wilderness.
The Hidden Fog Country was even older than the Country of Fire, and it was quite a powerful force in the Eastern Wilderness too.
Given Hidden Fog Country's thousands of years of history, its royalty had more than 10 Nascent Soul Supremacies in their midst, so it could be said that its strength was formidable.
Amongst all the countries under the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, the Hidden Fog Country could be counted as one of the stronger ones.
Meanwhile, Fog City was definitely the Hidden Fog Country's core capital as numerous fortuitous opportunities laid near the city.
According to ancient book records, a Fog Plain was located five kilometers east of Fog City. The plain was boundless and completely covered by thick Qi fog all year round. If cultivators were to enter the mist, their Spiritual Power and Spiritual Sense would be sealed away.
However, if one relied only on using their sense of sight to discern the directions, then most likely before even walking 100 meters, they would be completely lost.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Fog Plain was an absolute forbidden area in the Hidden Fog Country, and even Nascent Soul Supremacies didn't dare to barge in.
Nevertheless, a rare "Fog Tide Period" would happen every 20 years, and the fog would undergo a change—the area of fog would increase and decrease in radius like the tide.
At high tide, the area covered by the fog would even reach Fog City's gates, while when at low tide, many originally sealed areas would also be revealed. The revealed areas had many extremely rare and exotic herbs that cultivators could use to create superior-grade pills.
If one's luck was good enough, they could even find the precious spirit herb—Divine Binding Vine.
The so-called Divine Binding Vine was an extremely precious aiding spirit herb that was not used for creating pills. It was extremely tough and was one of the main materials to create the supreme-grade Dharma artifact—Divine Binding Rope.
If one could obtain a 3rd Stage Divine Binding Vine and refine it into a Divine Binding Rope, then it could even trap Perfected Ones.
If one could find a 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine and refine it into a Divine Binding Rope, then even a Supremacy could be bound.
When battling with enemies, if one could have a Divine Binding Rope as support, it would be a huge help.
When powerful beings of the same stage fought to the death, a single instant could decide one's life or death. Thus, being bound would be equal to directly losing.
From what Shen Tian knew, the Fog Tide Period was near. That was because, in the scene of the fortuitous opportunity that he had seen, Fang Chang had been at a vast plain. Meanwhile, there had been no Spirit Fog near him at all, and the scenery was extremely clear.
Thinking till here, Shen Tian said, "I heard that the Fog Tide Period is near. By then, many cultivators would go to the Fog City to join in the fun, so how about we go there to take a look too?"
Fog City?
Zhang Yunxi seemed to be deep in thought. She did know of that place, as her brother, Zhang Yunting, had also been to that place when he had been in the Foundation Establishment stage and had reaped quite the amount of benefits.
At that time, Zhang Yunting, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, had found a peak 3rd Stage Divine Binding Vine in the Fog Plain.
After using the special secluded treasure that his father, the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, had given him to cut off the Divine Binding Vine, Zhang Yunting had created a supreme-grade Divine Binding Rope.
When the Divine Binding Rope's power was activated to the maximum, it could even bind Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage cultivators tightly. It was relatively difficult to deal with.
Relying on that Divine Binding Rope, Zhang Yunting had spread his name amongst the Eastern Wilderness' younger generation.
Many geniuses from grotto-heavens and sacred grounds expressed their disgust from fighting with him. He, a man, did not fight face to face during battle but only knew how to dodge and roam about. Once he found the opportunity, he would unleash the Divine Binding Rope to bind his opponent, and the fate that awaited them was one of being controlled until the end.
There was a dragon, a tiger, and a qilin in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. The Mighty Qilin was generally acknowledged as the strongest, the White Tiger the most reckless, and the Azure Dragon the most annoying.
Due to Zhang Yunxi's battle style, she did not like using the Divine Binding Rope, a support Dharma treasure that controlled the opponent. However, since Shen Tian wanted it, Zhang Yunxi thought that she might as well keep him company.
...
After they made their final preparations and ensured that nothing was amiss, they set off.
Luckily, the Hidden Fog Country was not far from the Divine Firmament Small World, only 1, 500 kilometers away.
As everyone used Sword Kinesis Flight, they arrived at the Hidden Fog Country capital city, Fog City, from the Divine Firmament Small World within a day.
This was the first time Shen Tian was slightly afraid of heights from using Sword Kinesis Flight. He did not dare to adjust the speed to the fastest, or else their speed would be much faster than now.
After seeing that the huge Fog City was right in front of them, everyone put away their swords. The cultivation world's cities had flying-restriction array formations to prevent flying monsters from attacking. Thus, if they flew into the city directly, they would most likely be mistakenly attacked by the flying-restriction array formation.
Of course, they might have built array formations to... prevent people from flying into the city secretly without paying the fees.
One had to know that Fog City's entrance fees would directly increase by more than 10+ times during every Fog Tide Period. Just relying solely on the income of the entrance fees during the Fog Tide Period, the Hidden Fog Country's whole GDP1 would increase greatly.
Shen Tian and the others had come here to train, so they did not expose their identities to keep a low profile.
After paying the entrance fees, everyone smoothly and peacefully entered Fog City.
What was worth mentioning was that a few girls at the city doors saw Shen Tian and wanted to approach him to strike a conversation. As a result, Zhang Yunxi only looked at them slightly, and her aura had surged toward them, instantly dominating their spirits.
At that moment, Shen Tian felt even more confident that bringing Senior Sister Yunxi along was a wise decision.
Being pestered by one Senior Sister was much better than being surrounded by a group of girls!
...
After using Sword Kinesis Flight for a whole day, everyone also felt tired. Thus, they followed Zhang Yunxi's suggestion and decided to stay in the Lunar Rainbow Inn to rest.
The Lunar Rainbow Inn was the largest inn in Fog City, and Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was its biggest shareholder.
Thus, no matter how close it was to the Fog Tide Period or how crowded Fog City was, as long as Zhang Yunxi contacted the person in charge of the Lunar Rainbow Inn, they would be able to directly check-in.
To that, Shen Tian could not help but inwardly exclaim. How amazing it is to have a background!
When everyone stood before the Lunar Rainbow Inn—other than Zhang Yunxi, of course—they secretly marveled at it.
The whole inn was built with an extremely expensive Cloud-Pattern Incense Wood, and the ornamentations were very much exquisite. Dragons, as well as a mysterious Qi Gathering Array, were carved on the top of the inn, and Spirit Qi gathered as though it was a whirlpool. Spirit Spring Waters gushed out of the back of the inn, and the water reflected a rainbow under the sun's shine—the scene was breathtaking.
Just as everyone was ready to enter the inn, they saw the Lunar Rainbow Inn's doors open and a drunk young man being thrown out. His face was haggard, his hair was in a mess, and his entire body was giving off a rich wine smell.
"Bastards, you bastards! Who knows how many tips I've given all of you before! Now, just because I'm unable to cultivate, you're not willing to let me buy one liter of Drunken Divine Wine on credit?
"Darn it! Fortune was in the east of the bank 30 years ago but turns to the west when 30 years have passed1. You'll regret it one day!"
Just as that man finished speaking, a disdainful chuckle echoed from the inn.
"Fortune was in the east of the bank 30 years ago, but turns to the west when 30 years have passed? You must be kidding me! I need to wait for 60 years before you can give me the money for one liter of wine?"
