, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
In truth, he was unable to tell any of it as well. If not for the Library of Heaven's Path, not to mention him, even a 5-star apothecary would be unable to analyze the moment of pill formation and cauldron explosion just through those minor details.
At the very least, one has to be 6-star to be able to do so.
"Beast Tamer Zhang, wait a moment..."
Seeing that the other party was about to enter the residence, Mo Yu hurriedly shouted.
"I heard that you're heading to Tianwu Kingdom?"
"How did you know?"
The moment he asked the question, he realized that it must have been Yun Tao.
However, he didn’t have the intention to hide this fact. Thus, he nodded, "I'm heading to the Red Lotus Ridge."
"The Red Lotus Ridge is quite a remote location, and rarely do anyone travel there. Can it be that you're looking for the... Poison Hall?" Mo Yu asked.
The Xuanluo Mountain Range was lush and filled with countless savage beasts. In comparison, the Red Lotus Ridge seemed as though it had been razed by savage flames, and there was nothing there. There were practically no cultivators who would want to go there.
As a result, Legend has it there was a Poison Hall hidden in the depths of the mountains, and the poison masters there had laid lethal poison in the surroundings. Those who enter the depths of the Red Lotus Ridge would be afflicted with the poison and die swiftly.
No one knew for sure whether it was true or not because those who headed for the Poison Hall never returned. As time went by, it became one of the forbidden zones where no one dared to venture.
As such, it became a remote land which everyone avoided.
The reason why Zhang Xuan was heading there... was probably because of that Poison Hall.
"You know of the Poison Hall?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Zhang Xuan has only heard of the Poison Hall in the Red Lotus Ridge from Liu shi and the rest, and they weren't sure of its existence as well. Thus, hearing the matter from Mo Yu, he became agitated immediately.
"It is said that there's a Poison Hall in Red Lotus Ridge. However... no one knows of its specific location!" Mo Yu shook her head.
"It's fine as long as there is one there. I will find it eventually!" Zhang Xuan chuckled.
As long as there was truly a Poison Hall in the ridge, finding it wasn't a problem.
In the worst case scenario, Zhang Xuan would just try verifying the location of the Poison Hall using a map through the Library of Heaven's Path. Given its ability of discerning truth and false, even if Zhang Xuan wasn't able to pinpoint the exact location, he could at least avoid the wrong ones.
And the location which has no flaws would be the correct one.
"Speaking of which, the Red Lotus Ridge spans for several thousand kilometers. If you were to search every single acre of land, you would first die of exhaustion. Besides, there is lethal poison present in the surroundings of the Poison Hall. Even if you were to find the exact location, without someone to lead the way, it is impossible for you to enter."
At this point, Mo Yu paused for a moment and stared at Zhang Xuan with her beautiful eyes.
"If you wish to head for the Poison Hall, I can help you with the matter."
"You?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "You know of a way to enter the Poison Hall?"
"I don't know of a way, but I know of someone who does." Mo Yu chuckled mysteriously.
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
He didn't expect Mo Yu to possess such connections. If she could bring him in, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"If you teach me how to forge pills, I'll bring you to that person. How is it?" Mo Yu stared at Zhang Xuan intently.
"Deal!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
"Then when do we head out?"
"Tomorrow morning. Right, do you have an aerial savage beast?" Zhang Xuan glanced at her.
The Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast had achieved Half-Zhizun and possessed astonishing speed. If her aerial savage beast were unable to keep up, she would just slow him down.
"You!"
Hearing the other party's question, Mo Yu's eyes trembled. Gegege, the sound of her teeth crunched against one another could be heard, and her breathing hastened.
Are you intentionally rubbing salt on my wounds?
"Ah..."
Only upon seeing her expression did Zhang Xuan recall that she once had an aerial savage beast, just that... it had betrayed her for him!
"Alright, how about you ride on the Howling Firmament Beast with me?"
The Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast had a huge physique which was more than sufficient to ferry seven to eight people at once.
"Hmph!"
Only after hearing those words did Mo Yu's complexion improve. However, it didn't last for long.
"The Howling Firmament Beast is my tamed beast. If you wish to ride on it, you will have to pay a fee. When it was still at Zongshi realm, a trip to Tianwu Kingdom would cost around 20 Beast Bloodstone. Now that it has reached Half-Zhizun, its speed has increased significantly... I'll charge you double then. 40 Beast Bloodstone."
After calculating for a bit, Zhang Xuan said.
"Prepare the sum by tomorrow and pay in advance. Do not renege on the deal!"
There was information on the Beast Bloodstone within books in the Beast Hall.
Similar to gold coins, it was a common currency used by Beast Halls. The Beast Bloodstone was extremely useful in triggering a Bloodline Evolution in savage beasts.
While a cultivator absorbed spiritual energy from the air, a savage beast ate the Beast Bloodstone.
Mo Yu staggered.
Given how you are adept at so many occupations, do you have to be such a money-grubber?
"Hmph!"
Knowing that her blood would boil just talking to this fellow, she decided to leave before she could be angered to death.
However, after barely taking a few steps, the mutterings of the other party echoed behind her.
"Sigh, people nowadays sure are miserly. Despite saying that she is grateful to me, the moment I talk about money... she turns silent. Now, she even expects to sit on my aerial savage beast for free... If you don't have any money, you should say so earlier. You raised my expectations for nothing. To think that you are a princess, can a princess default on her payment?"
"You... Zhang Xuan, you better explain yourself! Who doesn't have money..."
Mo Yu could no longer hold herself back and turned around abruptly. Just as she was about to confront the fellow, he shook his head and entered the residence sighing.
"Damn it! Damn it! You stinky Zhang Xuan, darned Zhang Xuan, just you wait!"
Seeing him disappear into the residence, Mo Yu glared furiously at the mansion for a moment before stomping away with a puff.
Given how infuriated she was, it was unlikely she would be able to fall asleep tonight.
Feeling fatigued, Zhang Xuan went straight to bed after entering the residence.
The night passed silently.
Then the next morning, a 2-star beast tamer emblem was sent to the residence.
Keeping the residence in his storage ring, Zhang Xuan made some arrangements.
Shen Bi Ru’s purpose was to guide Zhang Xuan to the Beast Hall and would be returning to Tianxuan Royal City. Initially, he intended to give her a lift on the Viridescent Eagle, but she refused him adamantly. Thus, Zhang Xuan decided to give her the Gold Alloyed Panther instead.
Possessing the two great aerial savage beasts, the Viridescent Eagle and the Howling Firmament Beast, the Gold Alloyed Panther was of no help to him. Rather, it would be of a greater help to Shen Bi Ru.
At the very least, no one would dare to cause her trouble in Tianxuan Royal City.
In a sense, this was Zhang Xuan's way of repaying the other party for the care and concern she had shown him on the journey.
After making arrangements with Shen Bi Ru, Zhang Xuan headed to the courtyard of the Howling Firmament Beast. At this point, he realized that there was a room-like infrastructure built on its back. It was forged using metal, and it was streamlined to the body of the Howling Firmament Beast. This way, no matter how strong the wind was during the flight, it would not shake.
Most of those riding on Beast Mounts didn't possess powerful cultivation, and there was a risk of them falling when traveling at high speeds. As such, the Beast Hall prepared these rooms on aerial savage beasts to prevent such cases.
The Howling Firmament Beast had a large physique, and as though reflecting that, the infrastructure on its back was around six to seven meter wide. There were table, chairs, and beds in it, and it didn't feel as if one was soaring in the air.
Not to mention two people, even with the Viridescent Eagle inside, it wouldn’t feel cramped in the least.
"Farewell!"
Zhang Xuan bided Hall Master Feng and the others farewell before walking into the room.
Huhu!
The Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast's powerful wings flapped, and the two humans and two beasts soared into the air.
Gazing at the Beast Hall and Xuanluo Mountain Range which was growing smaller by the second, Zhang Xuan smiled.
Poison Hall, here I come.
