Tao Yaojun listened with great curiosity, so he took the dagger from Yi Yangshanren and examined it carefully.
"Is it really that amazing? I've looked at it for a long time and I can't see anything special about it. But this dagger is indeed quite good. You can tell at a glance that it's not an ordinary object."
After examining it for a long time, Tao Yaojun still couldn't figure it out, so he returned the dagger and gave his unprofessional evaluation, then said, "After talking for so long, you still haven't explained what's so mysterious about this dagger. I came here with you specifically for this matter, so stop playing dumb!"
However, Yi Yangshanren did not answer. Instead, he turned to Li Chang'an and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of the ancient Qiang Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's pupils constricted sharply. She then looked up at Yi Yangshanren, who had an unfathomable, almost demigod-like appearance, and asked incredulously, "How could you know..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Chang'an fell into astonishment and deep thought.
How is that possible?
Li Chang'an asked herself the same question over and over again in her mind. She didn't even realize that her clenched fist was trembling slightly.
Meanwhile, Yi Yangshanren and Tao Yaojun, who were standing to the side, naturally saw all of Li Chang'an's unusual expressions.
What's wrong with you?
Tao Yaojun looked at Li Chang'an with a puzzled expression, who seemed to be in a daze. She reached out and poked his shoulder with some concern and asked.
However, as expected, Li Chang'an had no time to pay attention to him at this moment.
What's wrong with him?
Tao Yaojun looked at Li Chang'an, who was now like a wooden statue, and then turned to ask Yi Yangshanren beside her.
But after hearing his question, the other person just shook his head with a half-smile, then put his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, indicating that he should not speak.
Seeing Yi Yangshanren's deliberately mysterious appearance, Tao Yaojun couldn't help but purse his lips. Although he didn't quite understand, he still obediently shut his mouth.
Li Chang'an's emotions were like the rising tide, one wave after another.
Ancient Qiang country.
How could she not have heard of it?
I've not only heard of it, but it's also deeply etched in my memory.
Because that was the world setting of her previous quick transmigration mission!
Li Chang'an just couldn't understand how the Hermit of Yiyang Mountain knew about the existence of such a country.
Just as Li Chang'an was preparing to extract some information from Yi Yangshanren, he heard Tao Yaojun mutter thoughtfully to herself, "I once read in an ancient book that there was a sacred mountain in the Beize River, which is the location of the ancient Qiang Kingdom. It is said that the people of the ancient Qiang Kingdom were skilled in divination and astrology, so to find their country, one must first pass through a secret realm. At the time, I thought it was all made up, but later I actually found the sacred land hidden in the Beize River mentioned in the book..."
Originally, Tao Yaojun only mentioned it casually, but it successfully attracted Li Chang'an's attention.
Seeing the woman's eager gaze, Tao Yaojun waved her hand helplessly and said, "However, I didn't see any ancient Qiang Kingdom. Oh right, the place where my hot spring is located is in that secret realm."
This made Li Chang'an even more incredulous.
Could it be that the unchanging rules of the quick transmigration system have been broken?
But if the worlds of two different transmigration backgrounds can really be connected, then why didn't Tao Yaojun find any clues about the ancient Qiang Kingdom?
Yi Yangshanren observed all the emotional changes on Li Chang'an's face. He stroked his goatee without making a sound, and then said to Tao Yaojun, "That ancient Qiang Kingdom was destroyed a hundred years ago. It would be strange if you could find it!"
"I see... But how do you know so much?"
This time, even Tao Yaojun couldn't help but look at Yi Yangshanren with new respect.
Although he seems carefree and irresponsible on the surface, he has a very serious hobby: reading.
Moreover, because of her extraordinary memory, Tao Yaojun can remember everything she has seen.
So over the years, he accumulated knowledge and skills, and became a walking encyclopedia.
However, for a country like the ancient Qiang Kingdom, which had been destroyed a hundred years ago and had no records of it in later generations, all he knew was a few bits and pieces of information that he had occasionally gleaned from ancient books.
As for Yiyang Shanren, in Taoyao Jun's eyes, he was a person who, apart from refining pills, wandered the world and lived like an immortal.
But immortals are oblivious to everything else.
After hearing Tao Yaojun's question, Yi Yangshanren simply smiled mysteriously, then raised his eyebrows at her and said with a hint of pride, "I already said it's because I'm old and knowledgeable, and besides, Your Highness knows about the Ancient Qiang Kingdom!"
After saying that, Yiyang Shanren turned his gaze to Li Chang'an.
It was only at this moment that Li Chang'an suddenly came to his senses. Looking at Yi Yangshanren's black hair and his face, which looked mature and profound but showed no signs of aging except for a tuft of beard, he couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.
To the naked eye, it's impossible to tell how old this person is.
Li Chang'an prided herself on her keen eye for people, but at this moment, facing this person, she was shocked to find that her judgment was completely useless.
Tao Yaojun, however, was quite disdainful of what Yi Yangshanren had just said, feeling that the man was just putting on airs. So she changed the subject and said, "Now that you've seen this dagger, what conclusions have you drawn?"
"That's natural."
Yi Yangshanren smiled and said, "Xuanmang is the treasure of an extremely cold pool in the ancient Qiang Kingdom. It is said that there is an evil dragon in that pool. If you can get rid of the evil dragon, you can obtain this divine weapon."
When he said this, Yi Yangshanren's tone was extremely leisurely, and coupled with his unique speaking style, it made people feel as comfortable as if they were listening to a storyteller.
But the more Li Chang'an listened, the more her heart pounded, because she had obtained the Mysterious Light after fighting the evil dragon for three days and three nights in her previous quick transmigration mission.
Who exactly is this Yiyang Hermit?
A big question arose in Li Chang'an's mind.
Just as she was hesitating whether to ask, Tao Yaojun asked in surprise, "Really?! Since this dagger is so rare, the person who got it must be extraordinary. But why is this dagger in your hands now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an paused, unsure how to explain.
