Chapter 6: Entering Rogue Mountain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the road to the Profound Heaven Country, two people were riding their horses. One was in the back and the other one was in the front.

Although the person in front was not a master of horsemanship, it could be seen that he had undergone special horse training and was someone who knew how to ride a horse.

The person behind him looked somewhat clumsy. He seemed to be extremely unaccustomed to riding a horse and did not know how to control it through the horse rope. He also did not dare to let the horse run and only dared to travel slowly. It was obvious that he was a newbie who had just ridden a horse.

“Brother Tang.”

Bai Qiuran, who was behind, shouted,

“Please wait for me.”

Tang Wei, who was riding in front, had a helpless expression. He made the horse he was riding slow down so that he was traveling side by side with Bai Qiuran.

“I saw you leading a horse out. I thought you knew how to ride.”

Tang Wei said helplessly,

“I didn’t expect someone who’s so powerful like you doesn’t even know how to ride a horse.”

“This… I used to travel on foot.”

Bai Qiuran smiled shyly.

“Then why did you buy the horse?”

Tang Wei asked,

“You have too much money and can’t find a place to spend it?”

“I was just in a good mood, so I bought a horse.”

“Is there a problem?”

“I somewhat regret agreeing to travel with you.”

Tang Wei sighed.

“The journey that should have taken three days was forcefully delayed by an additional two days.”

“Hehe.”

Bai Qiuran also said somewhat embarrassedly, “Sorry, sorry. As I get older, I have become very slow.”

“We should be able to reach the town in front of the Rogue Mountain tonight. When we get there, bring the horse to the market to sell.”

Tang Wei said.

“In any case, you don’t know how to ride it. With your cultivation, it’s better for you to walk.”

Previously, at a roadside restaurant, Bai Qiuran had suggested to Tang Wei that they go together. Perhaps because of Bai Qiuran’s “superb” cultivation compared to martial artists, Tang Wei agreed to his suggestion.

For the past five days, the two of them had been traveling together. Tang Wei was in charge of guiding the way, and Bai Qiuran was completely in a sightseeing mood as he traveled with the other party.

The two of them traveled deeper into the Profound Heaven Country border near the Green Destiny Mountain. After traveling for five days, they finally arrived near the Rogue Mountain.

Before the sky turned dark, the two of them entered the small town in front of Rogue Mountain. Tang Wei found an inn with empty rooms in the town and the two of them temporarily settled down.

Although he did not feel very tired, Bai Qiuran still immediately ordered a table full of good wine and dishes to reward his stomach. As for Tang Wei, he ran to the inn owner and asked about the demons of Rogue Mountain.

“A demon from the Rogue Mountain?”

At the mention of this, the shopkeeper of this inn immediately frowned.

“Ah, that demon has indeed been very aggressive recently. Many people have died in the nearby villages. I heard that the demon moves extremely quickly. When it attacks people, others can only see a black shadow. Those who are attacked by it die without an intact corpse and are incomparably miserable. It’s also not afraid of people at all. It appears both day and night and is very arrogant. Many martial artists formed teams to suppress it, but they never returned. I don’t know when it will come to our town to capture people. I hope those immortals and old men living on the mountain can interfere.”

“They don’t need to do anything.”

“We mortals will take care of it ourselves.” Tang Wei raised his eyebrows and said.

“Young Master, do you want to eliminate that demon?”

The shopkeeper pointed at a few tables in the inn. Some people who looked like martial artists were sitting at those tables.

“Then I suggest you discuss with those martial artists. One is looking for fame and the other is looking for profit. If you can fork out the money, coupled with the reputation of being a demon exterminator, I think they will agree to go with you. That demon is very dangerous. Don’t go and die on your own.”

“Didn’t the officials here issue a bounty to eliminate demons?”

Tang Wei raised his eyebrows and asked.

“What bounty? Now that the emperor of Profound Heaven Country is obsessed with immortal techniques, he doesn’t have the mood to care about the lives of us commoners.”

The shopkeeper flipped through the account book and lowered his head.

“The officials now have to offer their money to the Imperial preceptor to refine pills. They can’t wait to oppress the people. How can they be willing to spend money to hire people to eliminate demons? We’ve long lost hope in going against the government of Profound Heaven Country.”

Tang Wei returned to the table in silence.

Bai Qiuran, who was pouring wine, saw his expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Brother Tang, you don’t look very good. Is that demon very powerful?”

“It’s very powerful.”

Tang Wei returned to his senses and did not tell him about the government.

“Bai Qiuran, I’ll bring you to the horse market tomorrow. After selling the horse, we’ll part ways.”

“Oh?”

Bai Qiuran put down the wine pot and asked, “Why? I also want to enter the Rogue Mountain.”

“Because I’m going to deal with serious matters.”

“Bai Qiuran, listen to my advice. In the end, you’re only going in to pick herbs. After picking the herbs, leave quickly. The demon in the mountain is very dangerous, even for martial arts grandmasters like us. Don’t provoke it for no reason.” Tang Wei replied.

“Since Brother Tang insists, so be it.”

Bai Qiuran was not a clingy person. He had only requested to go with the other party to have a companion along the way. Since the other party had already made it clear that he should leave, he naturally would not refuse.

“Brother Tang.”

He raised his glass and toasted Tang Wei.

“I’m very happy to meet a friend like you. If we’re fated, let’s meet again.”

…

The next morning, after Tang Wei brought Bai Qiuran to the horse market to sell the horse, the two of them officially parted ways.

Tang Wei stayed in the town, not knowing what to do. As for Bai Qiuran, he stepped into the now dangerous Rogue Mountain with a leisurely mood.

In the Rogue Mountain, the danger was not only the demons that were wreaking havoc now, but also the many ferocious beasts.

The Rouge Mountain was a place where spiritual energy gathered. Most of the time, there were materials needed by cultivators to refine pills. Therefore, the beasts here were also stronger than those in other places. There were even spirit beasts that had already awakened intelligence and could control simple divine powers.

Of course, these things were not a problem for Bai Qiuran to worry about. Although it was very awkward for him in terms of his realm, he had long surpassed the level of such a low level novice area after 3,000 years. He had even gone to the dangerous places of the Nine Continents and Ten Lands, and the even more dangerous wilderness and sea.

He had only come here to find a few supplementary herbs that were not commonly used in the Foundation Establishment Pill. Bai Qiuran’s Foundation Establishment Pill had long surpassed the embryonic form of the standard Foundation Establishment Pill in the cultivation world. In order to deal with his special situation, the Foundation Establishment Pill he refined needed to be combined with many private items and had already changed beyond recognition. If ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators used his Foundation Establishment Pill to break through, they would probably be unable to withstand the medicinal effect and directly die.

Now that he was close to breaking through again, he happened to be missing a few medicinal materials in his pill formula. Although these medicinal materials were rare, their levels were not very high and they were not very useful. Sometimes, even if cultivators saw them, they would not care about them. This was also why there was no stock in the storeroom of the Green Destiny Sword Sect. Bai Qiuran could only go down the mountain to get them himself.

After half a day of traveling and entering the area of the Rogue Mountain, Bai Qiuran immediately released his divine sense and searched for the medicinal herbs he needed.
