Before opening the dungeon in Chapter 12, you need to draw aggro.
Because the Spirit Mansion Forbidden Area is located in Fulin City, which is quite far from Peach Blossom Valley, they had to go there in advance.
The next day, Ye Luo packed her things early, taking all the talismans and array boxes with her.
I originally wanted to keep the little silver dragon, but he absolutely refused, so I could only put it in my arms and take it with me.
Over the past few days, when Ye Luo asked him about his past, he seemed to remember nothing, only vague memories, and had even completely forgotten his own name.
Left with no other choice, Ye Luo could only give him a temporary name: Yin Bao.
Ye Luo thought it was quite fitting; he was either eating or sleeping now, had silver scales, and was as sleepy as a child.
"Yinbao, once you're outside, you can't reveal your true form at will, understand?"
Ye Luo consulted some ancient texts and discovered that the dragon's entire body was full of treasures. If it were captured by a powerful cultivator, he would have no way to get it back.
Yinbao poked his head out from under his clothes and nodded wearily.
Seeing this, Ye Luo chuckled and poked his cheek with her fingertip. "Go to sleep, I won't bother you."
When Ye Luo arrived at the meeting point, apart from the three of them, there wasn't a single person who had come to see them off...
Suddenly, a gentle breeze rustled the dry leaves on the ground, making a creaking sound that carried an indescribable sense of desolation.
"Let's go." Yu Qianling summoned his flying sword and took the lead into the sky. Ye Luo took out his flying fan magic weapon and followed with a "whoosh".
"Hey, wait for me!" Cen Feng called out as he watched the figure recede into the distance.
On a mountain peak, Ming Cang and several elders stood with their hands behind their backs, watching the three figures depart. "That kid Ye Luo really exceeded my expectations."
"Yes, although his aptitude is somewhat lacking, he has a kind heart and is a good prospect." The elder's face showed a look of satisfaction. "Perhaps in the future, he can bring new opportunities to our Peach Blossom Valley."
"Well, I hope so."
Fulin City.
After traveling for more than two days, Ye Luo and his two companions finally arrived at their destination.
The cultivators coming and going on the street, the disciples of the major sects, were easily identifiable by their uniform attire, in addition to many people dressed as independent cultivators.
Ye Luo: "Can rogue cultivators go to forbidden areas?"
Yu Qianling, knowing his doubts, explained: "There are many powerful rogue cultivators in the cultivation world. They are all enshrined in certain sects or families. It is not difficult for them to get a spot for their juniors."
"Oh, I see."
"Moreover, for the sake of the future of the cultivation world, the Immortal Alliance naturally hopes that the younger generation will emerge in large numbers, and will not impose too many restrictions on these small secret realms."
Cen Feng complained, "Third Senior Sister, let's find an inn to rest quickly, I'm exhausted."
Yu Qianling glanced at him sideways, "You're a man, so delicate and frail. Even your junior brother, whose cultivation is lower than yours, doesn't complain."
Cen Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Fourth Senior Brother is biased! His top-grade flying fan only requires a little bit of spiritual energy, while I use a sword. How can that be the same?"
"Hehe, Fifth Senior Brother, jealousy can make a person unrecognizable!"
"Hmph, look at how smug you are. I'll definitely get one that's even faster than yours someday!"
Although Yu Qianling made sarcastic remarks, she still immediately went to find an inn. However, almost all the inns in Fulin City were fully booked or had exorbitantly high prices.
Cen Feng calculated that he had spent almost all of his spirit stone bag on materials for buying puppets. He looked at Ye Luo and chuckled, "Junior Brother... why don't you go ask for a room, and the three of us can squeeze in?"
"A room costs a hundred spirit stones, only a fool would stay there!"
Ye Luo only had a little over two hundred spirit stones left, which was pocket money secretly given to her by her senior brother. How could she squander it like this?
After studying array formations, he discovered that all arrays require energy to maintain their operation, and the things used for energy replenishment, besides one's own spiritual power, are nothing more than two other types: the first is talismans, and the second is spirit stones.
So no matter what, we still have to tighten our belts and make ends meet.
Having spent a long time training in the field, Yu Qianling was now quite poor. She sat down on the ground and laughed, "Hey... how about we spend the night squatting on the street?"
"Huh?" Ye Luo looked bitter, as if this was all she could do.
Who can blame them for being poor?
"Heh, look at their shabby appearance, like stray dogs on the roadside." A sarcastic and bitter voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo looked up and saw a man in blue leaning against the railing on the upper floor of the inn, looking at them with disdain.
Behind him sat several disciples from various sects, leisurely sipping tea and eating snacks, looking on with amusement.
"Judging from their appearance, they must be rogue cultivators who share food with us. A bunch of lowly people."
"Overestimating yourself, hahaha!"
"Try saying that again if you dare!" Yu Qianling said coldly, sitting on the ground. Half of her face was hidden in the darkness, her slightly narrowed eyes were icy cold, and she exuded a chilling killing intent.
The male cultivator, who had been so arrogant just moments before, turned pale with fright but still stubbornly insisted, "So what if I say it... Private duels are forbidden here, or you'll be disqualified from entering!"
Yu Qianling scoffed, "They said fighting magic is forbidden, but they didn't say fighting is forbidden. I can kill you with my fists!"
As expected of the Third Senior Sister, she has even mastered the rules of fighting.
For some reason, Ye Luo suddenly wanted to see her beat someone up, but reason told him that he couldn't add fuel to the fire.
On the rooftop of another inn across the street, several rogue cultivators also witnessed this scene and sneered, "As expected, you're all a bunch of filthy people who rely on your sect. Just because of what you said earlier, I'll cripple you the first thing I do when I enter the forbidden area!"
"Yes, kill him!"
"I've memorized every single one of your faces!"
"That pretty boy is pretty arrogant!"
...
Unexpectedly, his careless remark provoked a burst of anger from the rogue cultivators present. The male cultivators turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Those who were with them seemed to be losing face. They slammed their fists on the table, stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Come on then! Do you think the people of Qingyang Sect are afraid of you?!"
"Heh, Qingyang Sect?" A male cultivator in blue robes crossed his arms and chuckled disdainfully, "It's just a force that squeezed into the Immortal Alliance through shady nepotism, yet it dares to be so arrogant!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Don't you know whether it's true or not?"
"That's right. I heard that their sect leader gave his beautiful daughter to a council elder in the alliance, and that's how she got into the Immortal Dao Alliance."
"Nonsense! They are a couple practicing dual cultivation, so stop using such foul language!"
"Hahaha, since you are a dual cultivation couple, why didn't you hold a dual cultivation ceremony?"
"Yeah, hahaha!"
"He's nothing but someone else's plaything, hahaha!"
...
"Clang... Clang clang—!"
After a short while, the cultivators from the two inns started hurling insults at each other, then began smashing teacups and porcelain, creating a chaotic scene...
Ye Luo watched the objects being thrown through the air, his face full of black lines as he tried to suppress a laugh. The dungeon hadn't even started yet, and he was already starting to attract aggro.
