Xiao Yu felt that they were like ascetic monks, but each of them was full of vitality.
They are just like ordinary people on earth, working to support their families. Because they can earn money, their hearts are burning and their eyes are full of hope.
They had brought little food with them when they left the house. Their food consisted mainly of wild fruits they had picked and small wild animals they had hunted in the mountains, such as pheasants and rabbits.
Unlike the cultivators in sects and big cities who eat fasting pills and refined ingredients, they are just like ordinary mortals. No matter what they eat, they don't refine it at all. At most, they just roast it and add very little salt.
Xiao Yu used the newly learned method of bone observation to look at these people. Among them, those who looked to be in their forties or fifties were actually in their sixties, seventies, eighties, or even around a hundred years old.
Of course, it is not possible that only men come out to work; many of them have families with them.
In order not to appear too special, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi either ate dry food like those who had cars, or caught "tits" to eat like those who did not, but they would temper themselves secretly.

"Fruit, the best Five Spirit Fruit."
"Phoenix Fruit, Phoenix Fruit, Phoenix Fruit worth three spirit stones for one..."
"Fire Scale Fruit..."
"Fire lotus seeds, fire lotus seeds..."
“So many people!”
"Oh my, why are there so many people this year?" A group of people rushed to the city gate, only to find that there were so many people working in Baijiu City that the city gate was simply packed. Only those who were selected could enter the city for free.
Xiao Yu was originally worried that their identities would implicate this group of people, but as a result of a surge of people, they were separated from the previous group.
"Anyone under 30, come here. Anyone under 30, come here... It doesn't matter if you're male or female."
"Anyone under 20 is here. Anyone under 20 is here. No limit on cultivation level. Only female workers are needed."
"Those over fifty years old are here, those who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining, come and take a look..."
"..." Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi were 'swaying' in the crowd. When they came to a fruit stand, they bought some local specialties, although they didn't taste very good.
"It's so sour! This sweetness is probably only suitable for making wine. It doesn't taste as good as hawthorn." Xiao Yu whispered to Zhou Yanzhi.
Zhou Yanzhi nodded in agreement. After eating too many mutated varieties of fruits from Earth, eating these spiritual fruits from some unknown orchard would either taste astringent, slightly bitter, or sour, or dry and not very sweet.
From a businessman's perspective, Zhou Yanzhi believes that these spiritual fruits can only be sold to these "migrant workers".
When I arrived at the city gate, I found that there were many tables placed under the city wall at the city gate, just like a recruitment office. One person was responsible for recording, one was responsible for shouting, and several people were responsible for checking, etc. Those who passed the test were arranged to rest in the open space behind and were given bread and water.
Xiao Yu saw many Qi Refiners who had been hired, holding food and water, their eyes full of pride. Those who had not been hired were full of envy.
☆
"Everyone entering the city will be charged one thousand spirit stones." Before I even got close to the city gate, I heard the gate guards shouting, "Get your spirit stones ready and line up. Those who are slow will line up again."
"Brother, how do we get in?" Xiao Yu communicated with Zhou Yanzhi who was half hugging him.
Zhou Yanzhi used his spiritual consciousness to observe the team under the city wall. After a moment, he pulled him to a stall recruiting escort missions.
"This escort mission goes to Fentian City." Zhou Yanzhi transmitted the message.
Xiao Yu was surprised. He just went there so blatantly?
Although surprised, the other party was very satisfied when he found out that the two men were around forty years old and had reached the late stage of Qi Refining.
What surprised Xiao Yu even more was that right after they were selected, they didn't even spend the night in Baijiu City. Instead, they changed into clothes with a group of late-stage Qi Refining teams similar to them, and were sent to a teleportation array to leave.
Xiao Yu had no idea what they were escorting, let alone who was responsible for escorting them. However, Zhou Yanzhi was chosen as the team leader because of his height.
In fact, there were forty or fifty people in a team, and no one knew each other except the two of them.
☆
After a moment of dizziness, Xiao Yu and his group arrived at a teleportation hall in an unfamiliar city. As they walked out of the hall, they received a message in the crowded square outside, asking them to go to True Fire City.
"Aren't we going to Fentian City? Why are we going to Zhenhuo City again?" Xiao Yu was puzzled.
Zhou Yanzhi transmitted a message: "We will stay in Fentian City for one night and leave for Zhenhuo City early tomorrow morning."
Xiao Yu: ...coming.
☆
That night, Zhou Yanzhi used two found corpses and hallucinogenic talismans to replace the two people. He then took Xiao Yu out of the inn where they were staying and fled to Burning Sky Valley.
This time, Xiao Yu was in charge of escaping underground. With the seal of the land god, the two of them followed the map they got in the teleportation array and entered the Burning Sky Valley "silently" and approached the location of the sacred fire in the Burning Sky Valley.
The sacred fire of Burning Heaven Valley was also kept within a volcanic crater. Like the Suzaku Divine Sect, without a sect token, this place was a massive killing array, and anyone approaching would be dead.
In order to protect the sacred fire, the entire mountain is not only equipped with formations, talismans, and various traps, but also has hundreds of guards inside and outside.
"Five in the Great Perfection of Dan Yuan Realm, and two in the Early Stage of Samsara Realm." Zhou Yanzhi sensed it with his spiritual consciousness.
Xiao Yu: "Two, such a big scene?" How can they steal it?
"Perhaps the incident with the Suzaku Divine Sect has alerted them. Or perhaps it's just a normal operation of Burning Sky Valley."
"The flames here really seem to be sun fire?" Xiao Yu felt that the aura inside was somewhat similar to the aura when Zhou Yanzhi released the flames.
