Chapter 118 – Mysterious Void Ancient Tree


“Did this so-called fortune cat really attract wealth? Otherwise, how could a merchant from the Great Yuan Dynasty suddenly appear at the Changqing Trading Company to buy so many pre-made dishes?

However, I should also thank that Wu Xiao Liu, the commission I promised to give him should be given. By noon the next day, Li Changqing had already entered the territory of the North Cold Country.

Originally, Li Changqing thought that the North Cold Country would be very cold, just like the Great Yuan Dynasty, but what Li Changqing didn’t expect was that the North Cold Country was not what he thought. It was the name that misled him. Along the way, it felt like spring all year round.

Everywhere you could see abundant crops, very beautiful small towns, and you could also see magnificent cities. There were many soldiers guarding in the cities.

Li Changqing did not stop, but flew all the way to the capital of the North Cold Country, North Cold City. By the time he really arrived at North Cold City, it was already evening, and the sky was getting dark.

The sunlight sprinkled down, slanting on the city of North Cold City, giving this majestic city a different kind of beauty.

This was the first time Li Changqing had left Changting Town so far. In a strange world, leaving the warm nest so far away, even though Li Changqing had been a human for two lives, he was still a little nervous, just like the first time he took a train from the north to the south in his previous life.

Moreover, this is a fantasy world, how dangerous it is outside, Li Changqing can’t imagine, it is also very likely to encounter robbers who rob and unknowingly be shot down from the sky by someone.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way, and Li Changqing also admitted that he was a bit paranoid. Now that he is here, Li Changqing is not so worried.

At least with Fei by his side, it’s a companion, which makes Li Changqing feel a lot more relaxed. Outside North Cold City.

Li Changqing let Fei turn into a little earth dog lying on his shoulder, and then headed for the city gate.

North Cold City is indeed the largest city in the North Cold Country. The city gate is huge and majestic, and Li Changqing standing in front of this gate has a strong sense of oppression.

The city gate is a hundred meters high, and the huge stone word writes the three words North Cold City. What came to face was a kind of solemn killing and coldness.

Li Changqing could imagine that under this city gate, I’m afraid there are countless heroic souls buried in battle.

Since ancient times, how could such a dynasty be peaceful? Looking around, there are city guards at the city gate. They are wearing armor, their eyes are like hawks, looking at the people coming and going. Among them, several leading soldiers are wearing silver armor, all of them have the cultivation of the Postnatal Realm.

Their physical bodies are strong, and the war intent on their bodies that is hard to erase, deters the people coming and going, making people not want to make trouble in the city.

Following the long official road, Li Changqing finally entered the city. The width of the street is far from comparable to Changting Town. The streets here can pass ten carriages horizontally without feeling crowded.

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of trees and shops. The street is very lively with people coming and going, but after walking a long distance, Li Changqing could see the behavior of ordinary people setting up stalls on the street.

In addition, the mansions along the road are also exceptionally magnificent, and it can be seen that those who live here are all official families.

Those who come in and out are all very temperamental people, even the servants are neatly dressed, the vehicles parked at the door are very luxurious, even the horses pulling the vehicles are not ordinary horses, they are all horses containing some spirit beast bloodlines, which makes Li Changqing dazzled.

“The outside world is really big, compared to here, Changting Town is just a countryside.” Li Changqing also sighed, the Yan family is already very good to him, but now looking at it, compared to here, the Yan family is really too ordinary.

Walking around the street, seeing a lot of interesting things, also increased Li Changqing’s knowledge.

Li Changqing felt that there was a saying in the book that was right, that is, reading ten thousand books is really not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. He has read so many books in the Wan Shu Tower, but it is not as good as what he has seen and heard here.

However, Li Changqing did not forget the purpose of his coming here, to find a fifth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill. Li Changqing first found two larger trading companies on the street, and then asked about the Realm-Breaking Pill, but when he heard that Li Changqing wanted a fifth-grade Realm-Breaking Pill, these trading companies all shook their heads and said they didn’t have it, unless they waited for a large auction, maybe someone would bring this kind of thing to auction.

But the next auction will be held at least two months later. Li Changqing can’t wait.

His son is still waiting for this pill to break through. So Li Changqing felt that he could only choose to go to the black market. But at this time, he was in trouble, he didn’t know where the black market was.

He asked some people on the road, these people looked at Li Changqing in surprise, then shook their heads, indicating that they didn’t know either.

Li Changqing saw some soldiers patrolling the street, he originally wanted to ask these soldiers if they knew, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, the black market must be a place that can’t be seen, and he doesn’t want these soldiers to regard him as a suspicious person and arrest him.

Slowly, the sky also darkened, and Li Changqing asked for a long time without finding out where the black market was.

However, after dark, North Cold City is still brightly lit and very lively. From a distance, he heard the sound of playing musical instruments. Li Changqing followed the sound and saw that there were many women singing and dancing in this square.

Li Changqing didn’t expect that there would be people dancing square dances in the Cangyuan Realm. However, at this time, Li Changqing was suddenly attracted by something in front of him.

This is an ancient tree in the square. Li Changqing found that this tree was actually wandering with powerful energy, transmitted from the ground, and finally gathered on a branch. After Li Changqing used his Divine Soul to detect it, he could see it clearly.

He can say with certainty that this tree is not simple, but his shallow knowledge makes Li Changqing not recognize what tree it is.

“Brother, what kind of tree is this?” Li Changqing curiously asked a man who was also watching the excitement next to him.

“This tree?” The man glanced at Li Changqing, he didn’t expect that Li Changqing didn’t watch so many beautiful women dancing, but watched a tree?

Is this guy sick?”Mysterious Void Ancient Tree.” The man replied, “I don’t know when it started to exist in the North Cold Country, and no one knows when it was planted. It is rumored that it appeared here many years ago.”

“Suddenly appeared?” Li Changqing was immediately interested.

“By the way, do you know where the black market is?” Li Changqing asked in a low voice.

“Black market?” The man was surprised, “Such a place is unlikely to be in the outer city, it might be in the inner city. I’ve only heard of it, but I don’t know where it is. If you want to find it, you can ask around in the inner city tomorrow.”

“Inner city?” Li Changqing was stunned, “Are we in the outer city now?”

“Of course, the inner city is the real location of the North Cold City. The royal family is also in the inner city. So if you’re talking about the black market, it’s probably in the inner city. But the gates of the inner city are closed now. If you want to go, you should go early tomorrow.” The man finished speaking and walked away, seemingly finding Li Changqing a bit bothersome.

He just wanted to enjoy the dance comfortably and didn’t want to answer Li Changqing’s inexplicable questions. Li Changqing pondered, it might be possible, so he decided to go to the inner city tomorrow.

However, before that, Li Changqing’s gaze fell on the Mysterious Void Ancient Tree. The wood of the Mysterious Void Ancient Tree was obviously good material, and it also contained mysterious power. If he could get that piece of wood, he might be able to create a good Painting Treasure.

Li Changqing planned to wait until the middle of the night when no one was around, and then take the wood himself. Li Changqing turned around and found a weapon shop, where he bought a knife with ten taels of silver.

He planned to act in the middle of the night. He found an inn nearby and rented a room. Li Changqing decided to sleep for a while and wake up in the middle of the night to get the wood.

Anyway, he was only taking a small piece from an inconspicuous place, so the people of North Cold City probably wouldn’t notice.

Gradually, it was approaching midnight. Li Changqing woke up. He listened carefully and found that the streets outside were quiet.

Li Changqing opened the window and didn’t call Fei. He could handle this matter by himself. He jumped out of the window and headed straight for the square in the city.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!” At this moment, Li Changqing suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air. The sound was chaotic, as if there were many people.

Li Changqing looked sideways and saw six or seven figures in black clothes leaping on the roofs. They were chasing a man in white.

The man in white had a sword at his waist, and there was blood on his waist. He was obviously injured.

However, the figure of the man in white was still very fast, as if he was strolling leisurely, but the people behind him were in hot pursuit.

“So many experts!” Li Changqing was also surprised when he saw this. The figures of the seven men in black were all above the innate level.

Among them, one of the men in black had an even stronger aura. In Li Changqing’s perception, he was even stronger than Xu Muhai.

“A Grandmaster?” Li Changqing was somewhat shocked. Those who reached the peak of the innate level could be called Grandmasters.

Such a strong person was rare. No matter where they were, they were top experts.

“The outside world is indeed dangerous, casually encountering a Grandmaster who kills.” Li Changqing commented.

It’s better not to provoke them. Li Changqing decided to hide far away to avoid getting splashed with blood in the fight.

But at this moment, Li Changqing suddenly felt something was wrong. The sounds had stopped.

At the same time, a clear voice came, “Midnight has passed.” The voice was very cold. Li Changqing turned his head and saw that the people had stopped on a roof not far away. The man in white was no longer running, but was surrounded by the seven men in black. The seven men were staring at the man in white with murderous intent.

Li Changqing could see clearly that there was no fear on the man in white’s face, only a calmness like a still well.

“You can’t run away anymore.” A man in black stepped forward and pulled down the mask on his face, revealing an old man with white hair and beard.

The old man raised his hand, and his robe moved without wind. It seemed that with his gesture, the airflow of the whole world changed, and the aura of a peerless expert filled the air.

Even though Li Changqing was so far away, he could feel the terror of this old man. This man’s cultivation was really too strong, worthy of being a Grandmaster.

“Cloud Hand of the Outsider.” The man in white looked down at the old man’s palm and calmly said, “Knowing this martial art and having the cultivation of a Grandmaster, you should be Old Devil Xiang, ranked 19th on the Black List of the Sea of Heaven.”

“Hehe.” The old man grinned, “I’m honored. I didn’t expect that the famous Qianxue Sword Sovereign, Xue Qianbai, would recognize me.”

“But what makes me feel even more honored today is that Qianxue Sword Sovereign is going to die in my hands.” Old Devil Xiang was somewhat proud.

“To kill me, you’re not qualified.” Xue Qianbai shook his head.

“Enough talk, you’re already seriously injured.” A man in black behind Old Devil Xiang shouted angrily, “You’re just at the end of your rope, don’t bluff here.”

“Oh.” Xue Qianbai lowered his head and touched his waist with his hand. His hand was stained with blood, “You mean this? I was careless and fell into your trap.”

“You chased me for tens of thousands of miles. If you had left earlier, you might have been able to save your lives, but not now.” Xue Qianbai looked up at the moon in the sky, “Because midnight has passed.”

“Midnight has passed?” The people looked at each other, seemingly not understanding what it meant for midnight to pass.

“Three days have passed, and midnight has passed.” Xue Qianbai’s left hand slowly moved to the hilt of the sword at his waist, “I can draw my sword now.” As he finished speaking, the sound of the sword scraping against the scabbard echoed in the quiet night.

The next moment, the long sword reflecting the moonlight was unsheathed. The hilt was as white as snow, and the blade seemed to be filled with a cold arrogance. As the sword was drawn, the whole world seemed to be frozen.

Accompanied by Xue Qianbai’s cold aura, at this moment, this world had become the domain of Xue Qianbai’s sword.

“It’s the Qianxue Sword!” A man in black exclaimed, “The Divine Weapon ranked eleventh on the Divine Weapon List!””The eleventh?” Upon hearing this ranking, the eyes of the other men in black brightened, even revealing a hint of greed.

At this moment, Old Devil Xiang also became alert. After ambushing Xue Qianbai earlier, he had chased him for tens of thousands of miles, but Xue Qianbai had never drawn his sword.

He had thought that Xue Qianbai was so severely injured that he couldn’t draw his sword, but now it seemed that there was a reason why Xue Qianbai hadn’t drawn his sword before.

Now that the hour of Zi had passed, could he draw his sword? When Xue Qianbai drew his sword, Old Devil Xiang felt an immense sense of danger!

This was a rare feeling of life-and-death crisis that he hadn’t felt in many years! Li Changqing, who was watching secretly, was also quite surprised. He hadn’t expected that this cold man in white was actually Xue Qianbai.

Wasn’t he the deputy head of Dao Mountain Ancient Land? Who were those people trying to kill Xue Qianbai?

“Kill him!” Old Devil Xiang knew he couldn’t wait any longer. With a command, his palm moved like overturning seas and rivers. Under the sway of his thin palm, the entire void seemed to turn into flowing clouds, with thousands of palm prints covering the sky and earth.

“Die!” The murderous intent filled the sky, completely enveloping Xue Qianbai.
