Volume 2: Wind Rises, Chapter 110 of Cultivating the Truth Realm: Good Human Nature, No Way Out

  "Little friend, it's normal that you don't know me, but you should know my third brother, Yu Huo Zhen Ren, shouldn't you?" Xuan Xin Lao Dao said calmly.

  Yang Tian suddenly remembered that Gu Yan had mentioned before that she had a second grandfather, and Yu Huo Xian also said that he had a second brother. But this Xuanshen Lao Dao and Yu Huo Xian didn't look much alike? "Senior is Yu Huo Xian's..."

  "The poor way is his elder brother." Xuan Xin Lao Dao nodded in confirmation.

  "It's a pleasure to meet you. Senior, you've stopped me, do you have any instructions?" Yang Tian asked very politely, with impeccable manners, the epitome of a young man who respects his elders. People say that one doesn't enter the Temple of Three Treasures for no reason, and this senior had been famous for a long time, so stopping him definitely wasn't just to catch up or make acquaintances, there must be something going on.

  Right after that, Xuan Xin Lao Dao did something that made Yang Tian extremely surprised. What was it?

  Only to see Xuan Xin Lao Dao take out a few spiritual herbs from the storage ring and gently shake them.

  Yang Tianwen's eyes widened on the spot, although a bit exaggerated, but Yang Tianwen really felt a great surprise, what was it? What could make Yang Tianwen feel surprised too?

  That is the spiritual medicine that Yang Tianwen has been dreaming of, the Golden Wheel Flower. It is related to the most important and scarce last spiritual medicine for Yang Tianwen to pass through the fetal breathing period.

  But there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, so there must be some "conspiracy". Yang Tian had to use a lot of effort to keep his expression from changing. He still maintained an unperturbed expression, at most only widening his eyes slightly.

  Xuan Xin Lao Dao saw this and his evaluation of Yang Tianwen was greatly improved, but he didn't know that Yang Tianwen had already used the innate purple energy in his body to control his emotions.

  Yang Tian calmed down and thought to himself: I was a bit too impulsive just now, this won't do. It seems my mental state is still not good enough. I need to work even harder.

  "Elder, what do you mean by this?" Yang Tian asked, as Xuan Xin Zhen Ren was the senior brother of Yu Huo Zhen Ren, he naturally knew from Yu Huo Zhen Ren that he urgently needed the main medicine, Zhuang Jin Lun Hua. However, now that Xuan Xin Zhen Ren had taken out this main medicine in front of him, Yang Tian couldn't help but feel puzzled - it was impossible that he would give it away for free, right? Yang Tian wondered to himself.

  "These spiritual medicines were collected by me many years ago and have been preserved until now, to be honest. I learned from my fellow disciple that you are looking for this kind of spiritual medicine, so I thought of you wanting to refine the Nourishing Spirit Pill. Therefore, I want to exchange these spiritual medicines with you, after you've refined the pill, give me five pills and it will be enough, what do you think?"

  Yang Tianwen heard the first part and thought that this old Daoist was going to secretly take something, which is very normal in the cultivation world. In the dark, there are strong seizures and plundering, without any distinction between sects or right and wrong. Although he hasn't encountered it himself until now, it's because he has been hiding well. If he were exposed, he would definitely encounter such trivial matters.

  But when I heard the second half, I couldn't help but be stunned. Is it just for five pills? Nurturing a furnace of elixir would require at least twenty or so pills. Even with the amount taken out by Xuan Xin Zhen Ren, it's enough to refine five or six furnaces. Counting in the failure rate, there should be around three furnaces worth. Giving you five pills, what's that supposed to mean?

  "Alright, deal!" Yang Tianwen didn't bother to ask for the reason either. What's most important is that the materials for the Nurturing Spirit Pill are all ready, and he won't have to risk his life by going to the Cloud Dream Marsh, one of the three forbidden areas in the Cultivation Realm.

  Honestly, Yang Tianwen is very contradictory. In order to get the Spirit Nourishing Pill, he insisted on venturing into the "Dragon's Lair" alone, saying that he wasn't afraid, but that was a lie. He knew his own situation, and his cultivation level was still at the ordinary Qi Refining stage. Rushing into the Cloud Dream Marsh without careful consideration, what were the chances of survival? Only heaven knows. If he didn't go because of fear, then his mental state would probably never improve. But now it's different, he wasn't not going to venture into the Cloud Dream Marsh because of fear, but because there was no need to go. What for? To enjoy the scenery? Because he ate too much and was bored? The same decision not to enter the Cloud Dream Marsh could lead to two completely different outcomes, perhaps this is the subtlety of cultivating the truth?

  Xuan Xin Zhen Ren smiled slightly, took out an empty storage bag, put in over a dozen stalks of at least hundred-year-old Qi Zhī Jīn Lún Huā, and then tossed the bag over. Yang Tian Wen received the bag, didn't look much, and excitedly put it away. Then he bowed his fist to Xuan Xin Zhen Ren: "This is still thanks to Senior's help." This gratitude was sincere, not pretended. If Xuan Xin Zhen Ren hadn't given him the medicine, he would have had to venture into the Yun Meng Zei swamp himself, and might never have come out again. The Jiǔ Qū Huáng Hé Great Array was very powerful, but it wasn't omnipotent. Moreover, his own Jiǔ Qū Huáng Hé array in hand wasn't a complete, large-scale array, and didn't have the kind of terrifying power described in legend.

  "Little friend, follow me out of the poor way." said Xuan Xin Zhen Ren.

  "Thank you, senior. I had the intention to do so anyway. However, there's no need for you to see me off, I can leave on my own." Yang Tianwen nodded and said with a hint of delay. Human relationships cannot be owed, sending medicine is a transaction that can be understood as everyone getting what they need, you don't owe me, I don't owe you. It's not necessary, it's better not to let others help, after all, everyone is meeting for the first time, and people still have to rely on themselves."

  Xuan Xin didn't say much either, nodded and bid farewell, then left.

  Yang Tianwen continued to find his way out slowly, and after two days, Yang Tianwen finally stepped out of this damned maze. He looked at the direction of Donggu Valley, which was also the entrance to Yunmeng Swamp, turned around and left Donggu Valley. In his heart, he said: When my primordial spirit is formed, I will definitely return with a vengeance. Yunmeng Swamp, one day, I will conquer you and make you my backyard!

  Yang Tian asked relied on his astonishing memory, and came out of Autumn Valley, skillfully passing through Summer Valley. Twenty days later, Yang Tian finally walked out of Yun Meng Gorge, Yang Tian suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sky again, his spirit was extremely relaxed, and he felt very comfortable.

  As for why it took twenty days, it was because of the ten days spent in Chun Gu.

  Yang Tianwen thought of the spiritual medicine space with a rich harvest, and couldn't help but feel excited. He also had all the materials for the Nourishing Spirit Pill, and sighed: "One's character determines everything! Who would have thought that he could meet Xuan Xin Zhenren on the road? He happened to be willing to give him the golden wheel flower of the apricot kernel, good character, can't help it." After returning, he informed Zhuo Yifan and the other five with a communication jade symbol.

  Upon receiving news of Yang Tianwen's return, Zhuo Yifan and the others were overjoyed. They all put down their work and gathered at the town entrance to wait for Yang Tianwen.

  When Yang Tian asked returned to the town entrance, he found that the five people had been waiting for a long time. After some casual conversation, they came to a elegant wine house. This was a very ordinary wine house, and the boss was an unsuccessful god who had given up his cultivation thoughts and had been running this wine house for over a decade.

  "Brother Yang found the Golden Wheel Flower so quickly?" asked Zhuo Yifan.

  "Not bad, luck is still okay, bumped into." Yang Tian nodded and replied, indeed it was good luck to bump into Xuanshen True Person. If Xuanshen True Person hadn't recognized himself, he would have probably rushed into the Yunmeng Swamp already.

  "As long as you can return safely, that's all that matters, it's worth celebrating!" Liu Jun added, with a genuinely cheerful smile on his face.

  "Not bad, not bad, come on, let's finish this cup." Liu Hong was also very excited.

  The tyrant and Suli also smiled and nodded in agreement, looking very happy.

  Everyone raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.

  As they drank and chatted, Yang Tian asked the main one to explain the situation inside Donggu in detail. Everyone listened with some headaches, and the natural maze was a terrifying concept. Even if they were not very skilled in array techniques, they understood this concept very well.

  "It's a good thing there isn't anything worth risking in Donggu, or else we might have really gotten stuck," Su Li said with some relief.

  "Hehe, it's a natural maze, impossible to break through, but that doesn't mean there's no way out." Yang Tian told the five people the method, without realizing that this method was a secret that many cultivators would give their lives for.

  "Thanks for the information, Brother Yang." Zhuo Yifan said with a serious expression, this news was very valuable and could be life-saving at critical moments. For example, if they encountered enemies in Autumn Valley, they could hide in the maze of Winter Valley, not only escaping with their lives but also trapping the pursuing soldiers, killing several birds with one stone.

  Yang Tianwen shook his head, not caring about these things. In Yang Tianwen's view, as long as he liked someone, even if it was something that was hard to come by, he would give it away freely. If he didn't like someone, even if it was something he picked up from the ground, he wouldn't give them a single cent. He did things based on his mood, and Yang Tianwen became more and more carefree, living a life that was increasingly self-centered.

  After everyone had a good laugh, Zhuo Yifan finally spoke up: "The five of us are about to leave this place and go into seclusion elsewhere. Who knows when we'll meet again? I truly hope that next time, I can explore the Cloud Dream Marsh with Brother Yang once more."

  "Alright. If that's what you guys mean, then Yang Mou will naturally accompany you, of course, on the premise that I have time, haha." Yang Tian asked with a half-serious and half-joking tone.
