Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 292: Veposs Flowers and Red Flower Ridge

”We are here… So, this is the Red Flower Ridge…”

After traveling through the peaceful territory of the River Sect under the guidance of Huang Yongyu, Qing Yi and Chu Yang managed to reach the base of the Red Flower Ridge at the dawn of the third day after they entered the River Sectʼs territory.

”Indeed, and I can now see why itʼs called the Red Flower Ridge…”

Nodding her head with a smile on her face, Qing Yi looked up at the Red Flower Ridge. Mainly focused on the sea of red flowers that spread as far as the eye could see, covering almost the entire base of the few dozen mountains that were called the Red Flower Ridge.

”What are these flowers? I donʼt think I have seen then anywhere before…”

Compared to Qing Yi who had absorbed a huge amount of knowledge regarding alchemy and spiritual herbs over the past few days, Chu Yang was still not knowledgeable in that regard. Even with the guidance book handed over to him back in the Mission Hall, Chu Yang had not spent much time reading through it. Only having gone through the parts about the Pure Heart Spirit Grass that they would have to gather after dealing with the bandit group hidden somewhere at the Red Flower Ridge.

”Veposs, they are relatively common flower growing around mountains where blood of some ancient species of demon beasts had hit in the past. Not much is known about them other than that… The reason why they are common, is that the ancient species of demon beasts had once been involved in some kind of long forgotten war that engulfed the entire Ewaria Continent. In turn, their blood has been spilt in a lot of different places. Most commonly around the Burning Mountain Range…”

”Then arenʼt they really precious!? After all, they grew due to some ancient demon beastʼs blood!”

Answering before their guide Huang Yongyu, Qing Yi explained the full history of the small red flower called Veposs. Much to the Huang Yongyuʼs surprise, as he had not expected for Qing Yi to know so much about them.

”While the Veposs flower did indeed grow due to the blood of the ancient demon beast, it is not worth much and is not even comparable to a Mortal Rank Spirit Herb… Other than that, there is no use for it in alchemy…

So, while it is indeed a pretty flower, itʼs not worth much more than a random wildflower picked up beside the road…” Shaking her head a bit when she said this, Qing Yi instantly put a stop to Chu Yangʼs excitement.

”Ah… I guess they wouldnʼt just be growing freely around here if they really were worth something… What a pity…”

Letting go of a few of the Veposs flowers that he had just picked up, Chu Yang could not help but feel a bit disappointed when looking over the pretty sea of red flowers that stretched as far as the eye could see.

”The Veposs flower grow where the blood of the ancient demon beast spilled… Now that is a lot of blood…” Chu Yang could not help but sigh in amazement when he truly realized just how large the ancient demon beast must have been to create such a large sea of flowers.

”Indeed…”

Qing Yi and Huang Yongyu also looked over the sea of red flowers. Imagining just how powerful such a large ancient demon beast might have been.

With a calm wind passing by them, Chu Yang turned to the two others.

”Enough relaxing, we should get going. Donʼt forget that we still have to find the bandits and deal with them! By the way, Huang Yongyu, will you be going with us or are you going to return to your sect?” If it was before he knew that the guide sent by the River Sect was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chu Yang would not have asked this and just left them behind as they would make their way up the Red Flower Ridge in search of the bandits.

”I will go! The reason why I came here as a guide in the first place was to explore more of the world! Even as a Core Disciple, I have never gotten the time to explore the Red Flower Ridge before, as it is located at the edge of our territory… Other than that, the bandits should also be our River Sectʼs responsibility in the first place!”

Saying this with a determined look on his face, Chu Yang nodded his head in agreement. Even if he did worry a bit about it, as he didnʼt really know if Huang Yongyu had any experience when it came to killing.

Anyway, having one more person in the Foundation Establishment Realm would be a great help when it came to dealing with the bandits below the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Worst case scenario, Huang Yongyu could just knock out the Qi Condensation Realm cultivators and allow him to deal with them when everything was over…

”Then letʼs get going!”

With those words from Chu Yang, the group of three headed up the Red Flower Ridge. The tiger demon beast following closely behind them as they made their way up on foot. Prepared to fight in case they were ambushed along the way.

…

”Hm… Looks like the River Sect really did request for the Flying Sword Sect to deal with the bandits…”

”Good that we prepared beforehand! Haha, I would really love to see their faces when they find out!”

Located in a small secret room, a small group of people were happily talking together as they went over the newest information brought over by their spy network.

The group of people were all from the sects that had worked tirelessly over the past years to isolate the River Sect from the outside world and slowly weaken them without having to do any fighting.

After all, even if the River Sect did not have any Nascent Soul Realm Expert, they still had a terrifying amount of Core Formation Experts compared to any normal sect at their level.

Even with all the surrounding sects gathering together in an attempt to deal with them once and for all, they had only barely managed to gather together more Core Formation Experts than the River Sect!

This was also one of the reasons why they chose to slowly weaken the River Sect instead of attacking them head on…

Another reason was that the Flying Sword Sect might step in when they began fighting and that was not something any of the sects wanted to happen!

Given the current chaos in the Northern Region of the Heavenly Sky Empire, the Flying Sword Sect stepping in would mean that they would use their power to forcefully calm the situation down as quickly as possible to prevent any further chaos spreading…

And that in turn would most likely help the River Sect out of their forced isolation that the surrounding sects had worked so hard to cause in the first place… And they did not want to see their years of hard work suddenly go down the drain like that…
