Recalling his past experiences, Yun Jianyue couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't realize it until I heard you talk about it. Now that I've experienced it myself, I know how difficult it was for you to successfully escape from the unknown."
"And he's even unlocked several unknown realms." Yan Xuehen looked at him with a complicated expression. The first time she met this guy, she thought he was a lecherous scoundrel with a lot of flirtatious talk. But the longer she stayed by his side, the more she realized what an outstanding person he was. His only flaw was that he was her disciple's man...
"Haha, praise me more, I'm thick-skinned, I can take it." Seeing the admiring looks in the three girls' eyes, Zu An felt extremely comfortable.
"Pah!" Yan Xuehen spat, still as shameless as ever.
“Grandpa, but I still think this is too dangerous. The people that person described before seem to be beings who can ascend to immortality at any moment. Even if Zhao Hao or the Demon Emperor came, they might not be able to accomplish it.” Yu Yanluo was extremely worried.
“The Unknown Land is very special. Relying solely on strength to brute force may not work. Wisdom and luck also play a role.” Zuan smiled slightly at the three women. “The Demon Emperor is surrounded by fools like the Golden Crow Prince, while I am surrounded by intelligent and resourceful individuals. This is enough to bridge the gap in strength.”
The three women blushed slightly, marveling at how sweet his words were; no wonder he was so good at winning women's hearts.
Yun Jianyue was the first to recover, and snorted: "We're obviously smart, but are you really that confident about luck?"
“Of course, if I were unlucky, how would I have such beautiful and outstanding female confidantes by my side?” Zuan looked at the three women with gentle eyes.
Even Yun Jianyue couldn't take it anymore and reached out to pinch his ear: "You brat, you dare to flirt with your master? Have you got some nerve?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Master, have mercy!" Soon, the voice of Zu'an begging for mercy came to mind.
Seeing Zu An bent over and being dragged forward by the ear in such a "painful" state, Yu Yanluo couldn't help but smile.
Yan Xuehen's expression was strange. In the demoness's heart, she still regarded him as a junior. She thought that one day she would be bullied by him and then she would know what a domineering and tyrannical man he really was. Oh dear, what am I thinking...
And so the group of people entered the vast mountains. Along the way, they encountered some ferocious beasts, but with their strength, they easily dealt with them.
Soon we arrived at a barren mountain, which was devoid of trees and even a single blade of grass.
"It's strange. We saw this mountain from afar, and it was so lush and green, even more verdant than other mountains. Why is it that when we got closer, there were no plants at all?" Yun Jianyue asked curiously. "I'm afraid it's because of this." Yu Yanluo squatted down, lifting her skirt, and picked up a green stone.
"What is this?" Yan Xuehen took it and examined it. Although it contained a trace of spiritual energy, it was not a spirit stone and could not be used for cultivation.
"Judging from its color and shape, it should be the legendary azure stone, a precious material used for refining artifacts, and it is said to be able to help certain special cultivators break through their limits," Yu Yanluo explained.
Everyone knew that she was formerly the patriarch of the largest jade family in the human race, so her knowledge in this area was naturally extraordinary.
"Oh, so this is jasper! What a treasure! I'll collect more; it'll be useful when we get out of here." Yun Jianyue searched the vicinity with burning eyes, quickly discovering that this kind of jasper was quite abundant. She collected it while a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Look at your greedy appearance." Yan Xuehen frowned, clearly feeling that it was rather unseemly for a grandmaster like herself to behave like this.
"Hmph, Ice Stone Woman, do you think everyone is as detached from worldly affairs as you? I don't have your good fortune, with people like Bai Yujing taking care of everything for you. Our Holy Sect has always been poor, and for the sake of the Holy Sect's development, I naturally have to be meticulous about every penny." Yun Jianyue touched the turquoise stone in her hand, her usually sharp phoenix eyes now resembling crescent moons. "Besides, this isn't even a penny."
Zuan walked up to Yan Xuehen and said, "Let's collect them. There's a lot of jasper here, but it's quite rare in other places."
"No need," Yan Xuehen said calmly. If it were any other time, she might have actually started collecting them, but after being mocked by Yun Jianyue, she couldn't bring herself to do it. If she collected them now, wouldn't she be going along with her? Who knows what she would say about her in the future.
Zu An was amused. This woman usually seemed so calm and collected, but he never expected her to have such an arrogant side.
"Hmph, Ice Stone Woman, you'll regret this sooner or later. Don't come to me for this Azure Stone when you need it in the future, or don't blame me for not giving it to you then," Yun Jianyue snorted.
Yan Xuehen thought to herself, "Why would I ask you for it? Don't I have it in Zu'an?"
The moment the thought crossed her mind, her heart skipped a beat, and a faint blush appeared on her fair, jade-like cheeks, making her exceptionally alluring.
Yun Jianyue glanced at her strangely, wondering why this Ice Stone Woman suddenly seemed so flirtatious.
However, I have to admit that this woman is unbelievably beautiful; if I were a man, I wouldn't be able to resist her allure either.
Yun Jianyue quickly collected almost everything, even though she was a Grandmaster, her personal storage bag had limited space.
On the contrary, Yu Yanluo showed no sign of stopping. Yun Jianyue immediately realized that this was the effect of her "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Seas Map". She was able to collect the Yushan Spirit Spring before, so collecting some Qingbi Stones was naturally no problem now.
Although it's impossible for it to actually contain thousands of miles of mountains and seas, it's far larger than ordinary storage space.
