C56 (1/2)

After the Nine-clawed dragon cat heard Han Yan's words, it stared at him for a long time until Han Yan felt uncomfortable, then it shook its head. Following that, it raised its fluffy little claws and brushed away the fallen leaves on the ground, clearing up a clean patch of land as it used its claws to quickly draw on the surface.

In a moment, a map appeared in Han Yan's line of sight. The map was relatively rough, and many of the mountains were not very clear. Han Yan looked at it for a while and asked with uncertainty, ”You drew a map of a mountain range?” ”With that, the Nine-clawed dragon cat nodded its head and asked,” ”Is this the Seven Heavens Mountain Range?

The Nine Clawed Spirit Cat nodded again, and then it added a curved line to the map as it ran through.

Han Yan could understand the Mountain Diagram, but she didn't understand what this line meant. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind and she hurriedly asked, ”Are you saying that if you follow this route, you will be able to escape the attacks of the demon beasts?” At first, he truly did not understand. However, when he saw that the starting point of the line was somewhat similar to the place she was at, he realized what had happened.

”Meow …” The Nine-clawed dragon cat grinned, unspeakably excited.

Han Yan's face was full of joy, she said to the Nine-clawed dragon cat, ”Since you won't come with me, then I'll leave first.” With that, she looked at the Nine-clawed dragon cat, took out her flying sword, and followed its route to the west. After flying for two hours and listening to the roars of demon beasts several times, many times several demon beasts roared at the same time, but none of them came up to attack. Only then did Han Yan understand that the route map had led to the border of the demon beast territory. As long as they didn't enter their territory, the demon beasts wouldn't attack them.

This way, Han Yan's biggest headache also came into contact with him, and the speed of her flight greatly increased.

In the middle of the Seven Heavens Mountain Range, a group of cultivators were resting in the forest. Most of them wore gray robes, and only two of them wore blue. After the grey robed cultivators sat down, they began to guard the surroundings, protecting the two blue robed cultivators in the middle.

Two cultivators in blue sat together and began to talk in a low voice. One of them said, ”Big brother, how many spirit stones do you think our family can get from Zhao's rogue cultivators transaction?”

Another person said, ”We can at least get a few hundred mid-grade spirit stones!”

In the mortal world, money was usually gold and silver jade, but the cultivation world was different. There were four grades of spirit stones, and each grade had a different price. A single top grade spirit stone was equal to a hundred high grade spirit stones, equal to ten thousand middle grade spirit stones. If it was exchanged for low grade spirit stones, it would be worth over a million spirit stones.

However, low-grade spirit stones were easy to find among cultivators. There were a few large spirit mountains, but mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones were much rarer, especially high-grade spirit stones. It was extremely difficult to obtain high-grade spirit stones, and besides the resources of large sects and high-level cultivators, they rarely circulated in the outside world. Top grade spirit stones could only be found by chance and not sought for, and it was said that there weren't many in the entire continent.

If Han Yan was here, she would have definitely noticed that the two people they were talking to this time had somewhat of Zhang Yuan and Zhang He's appearances.

The clans that these two belonged to were very famous in the mortal world, but they were only average in the cultivation world. The Zhang Family of Jiangnan was famous for their paper making. Almost every scholar knew of them. At the same time, the Zhang Clan was also a cultivation clan. Most of the disciples in the clan had cultivated in Dao arts, but their cultivation was very low, and most of them were in the 1st or 2nd level of Qi Cultivating Stage.

Of the two people in front of him, one was Zhang Xiu and the other was Zhang Jian. They were of the same father and mother. However, these two were not directly born, and their aptitudes were average. They had cultivated for more than ten years, and were still at the third level of the Qi Cultivation Stage. As a result, they did not have the right to enter the Orthodoxy. The reason they left the family this time was to participate in the rogue cultivators' transaction conference in the State of Zhao in one month.

Hearing his brother's words, Zhang Jian was stunned, ”Big brother, what rank of yellow paper did the clan want you to bring? How could you sell it for so many spirit stones?”

Seeing the different expression on her younger brother's face, Zhang Xiu smiled lightly and lowered his voice. ”This time, not only did I bring yellow paper, I also brought fine cinnabar and a brush.”

In the short span of two hundred years, the Zhang Clan of Jiangnan had started its business with paper and paper. They had become involved in many fields, such as calligraphy, calligraphy, ink, paper, and paper. Especially the white paper they produced, it was considered one of the best. One hundred years ago, the Zhang Clan Head met a rogue cultivator. That rogue cultivator taught him some immortal arts and told him to make some yellow paper, red sand, and other things. As a result, the Zhang family's business went from being a mortal to being a cultivator.

Zhang Jian's face was filled with pleasant surprise, ”Really? We're going to be rich!”

”That's right!” Zhang Xiu agreed. ”Let's try our best to get some Spirit Gathering Pills this time and increase our cultivation as soon as possible.”

Zhang Jian nodded and suddenly thought of something, ”Big brother, did you hear what Zhang Yuan said when he came back?”

”Yes.” Zhang Xiu said, ”I heard that Zhang He was defeated by a 5th level Refinement Stage disciple, and was locked up. I don't know when he will come out!”

Zhang Jian revealed a puzzled look and said, ”I just don't understand how he was defeated by a 5th level Refinement Stage disciple.”

”It's hard to say about the cultivation world!” Zhang Xiu sighed and slowly said, ”You should know about the recent events as well! That disciple is called Han Yan, and there's been a huge uproar within the empire, I wonder if we've caught him. ” At this point, there was a hint of worry in his voice.
