The closer they got to Qinglong Valley, the slower Chen Fei and his companions’ speed became. By this point, it was not just them heading towards Qinglong Valley.

Along the way, various figures with flashing spiritual light rushed by. Some, like them, were riding mounts that were either imposing, ethereal, or beautiful; others simply stepped on various powerful mid-grade magical artifacts.

When some of them passed by Chen Fei and his companions, almost all couldn’t help but glance at the fierce wolves beneath them! Afterwards, their gaze towards Chen Fei and his companions would carry a hint of awe.

Clearly, they had some insight, realizing that taming such fierce beasts as Black Feather Fierce Wolves wasn’t something ordinary people could do, let alone riding them.

Fierce beasts like Black Feather Fierce Wolves were naturally ferocious, even vicious. If one forcibly pretended to ride them, the most likely outcome would be an embarrassing disaster, resulting in serious injuries! But now...

The three Black Feather Fierce Wolves now seemed oddly docile, like obedient puppies. Isn’t this enough to explain everything?

However, Chen Fei and his companions didn’t bother with those reverent gazes from the passersby.

Especially Ma Kun and Blue Whale Elder, who probably had been used to it for a long time?

”This Qinglong Valley is indeed much better than Canglan Island,” Chen Fei said with a smile as they made their final approach to Qinglong Valley.

Not to mention the number of strong ones, even the architectural scale seemed to make Canglan Island pale in comparison to Qinglong Valley.

”Naturally. The founder of Qinglong Valley is Lord Ruan Qinglong. With his strength and reputation, he attracted many strong sects and loose cultivators dissatisfied with the Purple Flame Palace here! It’s a place where different flowers bloom. Over time, even Purple Flame Palace, Giant Void Sect, and Pei Family must have found this place quite a headache, haha,” laughed Taoist Cang Kun.

”Hehe, if we succeed in breaking through to the realm of third-level demonic beasts, we might not be inferior to Ruan Qinglong. Master, should we directly visit Elder Duanmu now, or...” chuckled Blue Whale Elder.

”Let’s find a place to rest first. We’ve been traveling for days; there’s no need to rush. Also, I don’t really have to visit them immediately...” Chen Fei shook his head and murmured with narrowed eyes.

Just then, a soldier wearing the Qinglong Valley Protectorate’s iron armor approached.

His gaze fell on the Black Feather Fierce Wolves beneath Chen Fei and his companions, clearly taken aback.

Then he respectfully bent forward and said to Chen Fei and his companions, ”Three masters, Qinglong Valley has a rule against allowing fierce beast mounts into the city, so...”

”Understood.” Chen Fei jumped off the Black Feather Fierce Wolf and said with a smile to the Protectorate soldier, ”Please arrange something for these three fellows for us. You three behave, don’t cause trouble.”

After saying something in a low voice to the three Black Feather Fierce Wolves, Chen Fei stepped directly into Qinglong Valley.

Awooo~ Awooo~ Awooo~

Three resounding wolf howls came from behind him. Then, the three Black Feather Fierce Wolves were taken away.

”It’s indeed lively in here.” Upon entering Qinglong Valley, the scene was overwhelmingly crowded. Qinglong Valley truly lived up to being the largest gathering place for loose cultivators in the Eagle Gorge Area. The broad streets were nearly packed with people.

Moreover, each person’s aura was restrained, yet extraordinary.

”Hey! Have you heard? It’s said that someone discovered an ancient tomb in the Giant Void Sect’s territory. It seems pretty significant.”

”You only just found out? I’ve known for a while. I heard it’s the tomb of an incredibly remarkable alchemist from hundreds of years ago. Not even mentioning pills and alchemy materials, there are probably plenty of other precious burial items in that tomb.”

”The ancient tomb was initially discovered by Lord Sima, but then it was swiftly taken over by the Giant Void Sect. However, Lord Sima isn’t someone to mess with... so I guess they might split the contents of the tomb fifty-fifty?”

”I’m not sure. But I heard Lord Sima will host an auction at Azure Dragon Pavilion in a few days. If you go there, you’ll know what’s in there, right?”

”Really? Then I definitely have to go and check it out! What if there are some real treasures?”

...

While walking, fragmented whispers reached their ears.

”An incredibly remarkable alchemist’s tomb?” Chen Fei squinted his eyes, then smiled with interest, saying, ”Looks like we’re really lucky. If there’s something in there I can use... I’ll definitely have to check it out; such an opportunity can’t be missed.”

”An auction personally hosted by Lord Sima? Then it indeed should have some value.” Taoist Cang Kun nodded slightly in surprise and added, ”Master, Lord Sima is one of Qinglong Valley’s three strongest in the first heavenly layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm. His real name is Sima Kun.”

”Is that so? Then we certainly should go,” Chen Fei’s eyebrows raised, showing even more interest.

”Boom! Boom! Boom...”

Suddenly, sounds of thunderous breaking echoed from the entrance behind them. Numerous glaring rainbows recklessly entered Qinglong Valley’s entrance, dozens in number.

”Hiss hiss hiss!”

Then, lingering in everyone’s ears, sounded like the roars of fierce beasts. Looking over.

They saw sinister waves of fierce energy and flashing spiritual light; they were terrifyingly aura-filled, hideous twin-headed demon beasts.

Atop each beast rode a cultivator, clad in the same type of clothing, with two large ”Giant Void” characters printed on their backs.

”Gasp, are they from the Giant Void Sect?” Such an astonishing spectacle, such grandiose display, and most importantly, the ’Giant Void’ printed on the backs of their clothes, made many people’s pupils shrink in surprise, taking a sharp intake of breath.

The Giant Void Sect, one of the three top-tier powerful forces in the Eagle Gorge! In terms of foundation, in terms of comprehensive combat power, they might even surpass the Purple Flame Palace by a bit.

So, perhaps only they would dare to ignore the rules of Azure Dragon Ravine and ride their fierce beasts into town?

Not only that, those fierce beasts directly tread over people’s heads from above! Such behavior, if one were to nitpick or speak harshly, could only be described as downright insulting! Arrogant beyond belief.

”Hmph! Aren’t they just relying on the Giant Void Sect’s might? Do they really think they’re something special, huh!” someone mumbled, clearly very dissatisfied.

But more people, after a moment of surprise, merely shook their heads, pretending nothing happened. What else could they do?

In this Cultivation World, ultimately, power is what matters.

”Let’s go. Let’s first find a place to rest and cultivate. I seem to feel a slight loosening in my realm.”

Watching those from the Giant Void Sect arrogantly riding their fierce beasts into the sky, Chen Fei slightly curled his lips and said slowly to Cang Kun and Blue Whale behind him.

But as soon as he said this, Cang Kun and Blue Whale couldn’t help but be surprised.

”Master, you’re about to break through again!?” Blue Whale couldn’t hold back and exclaimed in shock.

After all, since they became Chen Fei’s servants, they often served as his sparring partners. Naturally, they knew very well that their master Chen Fei had just broken through to the Peak of Qi Refining Seventh Layer. How come now he is...

”It’s just a little sign. To completely break through, it’s still lacking, it needs time,” Chen Fei shook his head and said.

He said this casually earlier. After all, he had just broken through to the Peak of Qi Refining Seventh Layer. Even with taking pills, it wouldn’t make sense to break through so quickly!

”I see...” Taoist Cang Kun nodded ’understandingly’ and then said, ”This Azure Dragon Ravine has specially designated cultivation courtyards and caves for rent. The former has a higher quality and a more abundant concentration of Spiritual Energy than the latter. I will take you there.”

”Hmm.” Chen Fei nodded. Then they proceeded to head deeper into Azure Dragon Ravine.

Deep in the Azure Dragon Ravine is a low cliff that is clearly pierced through by a Spirit Vein. It’s quite striking from a distance.

However, that low cliff has been directly leveled, forming a very smooth area, where various courtyards that gleam with Spiritual Light stand in great numbers. The Spiritual Energy is indeed very rich, giving off a sense of high quality.

Upon approaching the cultivation courtyard area, Cang Kun directly led Chen Fei into a rather magnificent pavilion.

Upon entering the pavilion, Cang Kun spoke faintly to a cultivator sitting behind a wooden table, ”Rent me an Earth Level Cultivation Courtyard for six months.”

After saying this, he waved and threw out a bag full of Spirit Stones, dazzling everyone’s eyes.

”An Earth Level Cultivation Courtyard? Who are these people with so much Spirit Stone? Renting an Earth Level Courtyard for six months costs as much as Three Hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones, almost enough to buy a standard Mid-Grade Magic Artifact. Spending it on renting this—isn’t that wasteful?” someone commented enviously.

”Shh, be quiet! Don’t let them hear you...” His companion immediately tried to hush him, fearing that Cang Kun, Chen Fei, and others might hear.

Joking aside, he wasn’t stupid. He clearly knew that someone who could afford to rent an Earth Level Courtyard wasn’t someone they could afford to offend. Totally different league, understood?

Envy truly is a disease—it must be treated!

”Yes, yes... You gentlemen came at the right time. There’s exactly one Earth Level Cultivation Courtyard left, and it’s just in time for you,” the cultivator behind the wooden desk said with a broad smile, looking at Cang Kun and the others enthusiastically.

He was responsible for renting out cultivation courtyards within Azure Dragon Ravine.

But of course, this wasn’t the main point. The main point is that if he can rent out an ’Earth Level Cultivation Courtyard,’ such a high-end cultivation place, he could earn a commission!

And the amount of that commission, just thinking about it makes him feel like laughing even in his sleep!

So, how could he not be enthusiastic and excited now!? This was almost like a god of wealth knocking on his door.

”Gentlemen, this is the Spirit Talisman key for your rented cultivation courtyard. It’s Earth No. 5, just take this key and head over.”

Afterwards, he swiftly processed the rental with ’lightning speed,’ taking out a black talisman from under the wooden table.

”Hmm.” Taoist Cang Kun nodded and reached out to take the black talisman.

Just at that moment, however, a hand suddenly reached out from behind. Almost brutishly and recklessly, it directly grabbed for the black talisman.

Simultaneously, an incomparably arrogant young voice rang out non-negotiably at the same time.

”I want this Earth Level Cultivation Courtyard.”
