I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 381: Chapter 343: (Revised) Invitation

Jiang Yuebai discovered that the Wind Hoof Country’s extraordinary people naturally had great endurance and strong legs.

Even ordinary extraordinary people without cultivation could run all day with their families without feeling tired, and their running speed was faster than Human Clan cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage.

On the journey to the Three Kingdoms’ border, several times they encountered attacks from mountain beasts, and the Wind Hoof Country’s extraordinary people exhibited exceptionally fast movement techniques.

This is the bloodline ability of Wind Hoof Country’s extraordinary people, also related to their hooves.

Though the Wind Hoof Country is not very large, Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan stepped in to resolve crises several times, protecting the group diligently, making Feng Lie and Feng Su deeply grateful.

Facing obstacles on the road, the two also worked hard to vouch for Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan, allowing them to pass smoothly.

With this, after seven or eight days of travel, as the group descended the mountain, Jiang Yuebai saw a magnificent city standing on the plain where three grand roads converged. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

One road was the mountain path they were on, another led to a swamp wetland sparkling like stars, and the third headed to a mist-laden dark rainforest.

The swamp was home to Crocodile Clan extraordinary people in Crocodile Swamp Country, while the rainforest was inhabited by Snake Clan extraordinary people in Coiled Flood Dragon Country.

Alongside the Crocodile and Snake Clans, there were other extraordinary people living in the swamp and rainforest, such as Frog Clan and Monkey Clan.

After Feng Lie and Feng Su led the Wind Hoof Country extraordinary people down the mountain, they did not enter the city but instead searched for a secluded spot in the forest thirty miles outside of Lishan City to set up camp and rest temporarily.

Once the team stopped, Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan saw the Fox Woman taking her child, escorted by two sixth-layer Qi Cultivation Wind Hoof extraordinary people, heading towards Lishan City.

Feng Lie stayed to watch the camp, while Feng Su needed to enter the city for shopping, so Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan accompanied her into the city.

”Lady Su, I just saw your people escorting a foreign Fox Woman into the city, and all along the way, I was curious, who is she?”

Walking on the road, Jiang Yuebai inquired from Feng Su while Xie Jingshan followed honestly behind.

Feng Su laughed, ”An orphaned pair, also fleeing ten thousand miles back from the Central Plains, saying she has relatives doing business in Lishan City to seek refuge with. Feeling sorry for her, we brought her along, and she promised to reward us once she found her kin.”

Jiang Yuebai probed with more questions, but Feng Su didn’t know much about the Fox Woman, only mentioning that she seemed afraid of people and didn’t talk much, always protecting her child.

The three quickly reached the entrance of Lishan City, guarded by Human Clan cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage, who charged each entrant, whether extraordinary people or Human Clan, a low-grade spirit stone as a city entrance fee, without checking identity tokens.

When it was their turn, Xie Jingshan proactively paid the entrance fee, and Jiang Yuebai was surprised to see him handling such ’small change’ as low-grade spirit stones.

Xie Jingshan noticed Jiang Yuebai’s look and explained via sound transmission, ”I inquired before coming, the Extraordinary People Country is generally poor, mid-grade spirit stones are rarely seen here, the most commonly used are spiritual pearls and low-grade spirit stones.”

”There’s nothing here worth collecting for Golden Core cultivators, so mostly it’s a place for loose cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Human Clan cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage wouldn’t even be able to cross the Ten Thousand Mountains unless born here.”

Simply put, it’s a low-level area for Foundation Establishment cultivators to operate, mostly composed of Qi Cultivation extraordinary people. Those who reach the Foundation Establishment Stage can protect a village and become a small village chief, while those at the Peak Foundation Establishment are basically leaders of various clans.

Before Iron Feather Country produced Golden Core Stage extraordinary people, due to bloodline issues, almost none of the countries’ extraordinary people could break through to the Golden Core Stage, which is why Iron Feather Country is so sought after.

Upon entering Lishan City, Feng Su knew Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan wouldn’t travel with them anymore, so she tactfully said goodbye ahead of time.

”Lead the way, Brother Dog.”

Xie Jingshan bared his teeth at Jiang Yuebai and led her to the Mountain and Sea Building at the center of Lishan City.

Jiang Yuebai walked behind Xie Jingshan, curiously observing the surroundings, seeing dilapidated buildings and a dirt road, most passersby were extraordinary people, dressed plainly and weather-beaten.

Some were crocodile-headed with crocodile tails walking upright, others were human-bodied with snake tails gliding along the ground, and others were short, neckless frog people hopping by.

Above, several shadows flew past, Jiang Yuebai saw Monkey Clan extraordinary people with monkey hair and surprisingly long arms opting to traverse rooftops instead of the road.

As someone passed by, Jiang Yuebai sidestepped, letting two long-tailed rat people just at her calf height, hurriedly run past carrying small bamboo baskets.

The roadside was filled with calls of vendors, all of them were extraordinary people setting up stalls for business.

Jiang Yuebai stopped to check out a peculiar shop.

At the shop’s entrance hung a ’Clothes’ banner, inside, three spinning wheels were lined up facing the entrance.

Three Spider Women with spider-like faces, eight spider limbs, yet possessing forms more delicate than Human Clan women stood by the spinning wheels.

They twisted their slender waists, and spun pure white spider silk from their navel, weaving in moments a fabric with a shimmering glow and a slight coolness.

”Cold Light Silk... Brother Dog, I’ll go in and take a look, please wait.”

Jiang Yuebai called out, once again unsure of Xie Jingshan’s alias, resorting to calling him Brother Dog in crowded spots.

Xie Jingshan bared his teeth and circled back, annoyedly flicking his tail.

Luckily, Jiang Yuebai didn’t take long; she bought some thread spun from spider silk and came out, they continued onward.

”What are you buying this spider silk for?” Xie Jingshan asked.

Jiang Yuebai laughed, ”The spider silk’s very tough, it’d be great for making a white wig. Just a shame those Spider Ladies have low cultivation, if only they were like Golden Core Stage Spider Ladies, their silk would be even better.”

”This I’m afraid I can’t help you with, there are no Golden Core Stage Spider Ladies in all of the Extraordinary People Country, the highest is the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Spider King, once we return to the Central Plains, I’ll try to find you similar spider silk or silkworm silk.”

Jiang Yuebai nodded eagerly, ”Oh yes, please! Then I’ll practice with this first. By the way, do you have an alias? Did you get a daoist name after your Core Formation?”

Xie Jingshan scratched his face, transmitting, ”At birth, my father named me Chong’ar, meaning high mountain, my mother named me Cangyuan, meaning my sea, they argued back and forth, so I’ve always been called by my full name.”

Jiang Yuebai similarly transmitted, ”One mountain and one sea, it fits with Mountain and Sea Building, which do you like?”

”I don’t like either.”

”Then just think of one you like. But for now, you need an alias, otherwise I’ll have to keep calling you Brother Dog. You can call me Chenzhou...”

”Chenzhou? What a gloomy name?”

Jiang Yuebai kicked over, ”Chenzhou from ’breaking the kettles and sinking the boats’!!”

Xie Jingshan nimbly dodged, ”From now on, call me Azure Wolf, the Grassland Wolf King.”

”Why don’t you just go and rule Night Wolf Country then.”

”It’s simple to become a Wolf King, but I don’t want to.”

The two quickly arrived at Mountain and Sea Building, once inside, Xie Jingshan found the short, plump Store Manager, said the secret phrase, and the Store Manager discreetly led them to the back secret chamber.

”Oh my Young Master, you really came personally?”

”Really?”

Jiang Yuebai keenly noticed the issue in the Store Manager’s words and looked at Xie Jingshan.

Xie Jingshan asked, ”Did my grandfather tell you first?”

The Store Manager checked the chamber’s protection array and sound insulation array again, pulling a letter from his chest.

”It was the Fufeng Mountain Master who secretly sent this letter, stating that if you arrived, give it to you.”

As the words fell, Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan were both surprised.

Xie Jingshan grabbed the letter, opened it, quickly read through it, then handed it to Jiang Yuebai.

”It’s his handwriting, he asks me to visit Iron Feather Country.”
