Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Li Chengfeng proactively stated that he didn't have any spirit stones and promised to earn them by undertaking tasks after returning to the sect to repay his senior brothers' expenses.

Ye Jiang expressed satisfaction with Li Chengfeng's attitude, considering him someone who knew how to assess situations.

He emphasized that time was of the essence and couldn't be wasted, proposing that they take turns piloting the 'Flying Boat' at full speed.

At this speed, a journey that would originally take a month could be completed in half a month if they traveled day and night.

Everyone agreed with Ye Jiang's arrangement without any objections.

They prepared everything and immediately set off, heading towards the royal capital of the ancient city at full speed.

Along the way, Li Chengfeng practically became a full-time driver, piloting the 'Flying Boat' magical artifact so that the others could rest.

Since Li Chengfeng pretended to have no spiritual power, they gave him some pills to restore his physical strength, treating him like a tool.

Although Li Chengfeng was treated as labor, he always maintained a smiling appearance and didn't show any resistance.

They flew over towering mountains and cities, looking down at the mortal world people below, who seemed as small as ants.

Those ordinary people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, unable to change their fate, which made Li Chengfeng secretly smile bitterly.

He realized that the gap between cultivators and ordinary people was so vast that even a Qi Refining stage cultivator had the ability to easily destroy a city.

On the journey, they also heard about the evil deeds of some Demonic Path cultivators.

In order to practice Demonic Arts, some Demonic Path cultivators didn't hesitate to slaughter ordinary people. This heinous behavior was a manifestation of the Demonic Path's recklessness.

They understood that the conflict between Demonic Path cultivators and Righteous Path cultivators was deeply rooted, and neither side could tolerate the other's existence.

Half a month later, they finally arrived at the ancient capital city.

This city was vast and bustling, a melting pot of people, with both Righteous Path cultivators and Demonic Path cultivators.

They noticed that the Precious Treasure Pavilion's shops were built most luxuriously here, demonstrating its immense strength.

The prince of the ancient capital was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, which made Li Chengfeng and the others feel some pressure.

They knew that the main task this time was to investigate why the force supported by Loulan had lost contact, whether it had been destroyed or for some other reason.

This was an important task for them because Loulan needed to rely on these forces to obtain resources.

In the city, they found a restaurant called Elegant Abode to stay.

The waiter greeted them warmly, but in the eyes of the cultivators, these ordinary people were not worth mentioning.

Li Chengfeng also enjoyed the treatment of being a cultivator, but he always remained low-key and didn't reveal any arrogance.

After entering the restaurant, they chose a quiet private room to sit down.

Ye Jiang told them that someone from the inside would contact them shortly.

He emphasized, "You must be vigilant and not show any timidity.

This mission may encounter some dangers, so we must remain vigilant."

Sure enough, after the tea was served, everyone ate pastries and chatted happily.

Li Chengfeng just listened quietly, while the three junior brothers kept flattering Ye Jiang, who seemed to enjoy it very much, acting high and mighty.

Before long, a woman in a green dress walked in. Her hair was styled in double buns, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she looked pure and lovely, but her strength had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

However, she had a flustered expression on her face and asked, "Are you the seniors sent by Senior Lou? I am Hai Yunqian from the Hai family!"

"That's right!" Ye Jiang said with a smile, "We were sent by our master to investigate what happened to your Hai family? Why did you suddenly lose contact?"

Hai Yunqian's tears suddenly fell, and she said, "Half a month ago, my father suddenly disappeared.

He was at the Great Perfection of the tenth level of Qi Refining and was about to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, which is crucial to our family.

Now that he is missing, other families are eyeing us covetously, and we can no longer survive in the ancient capital city."

Ye Jiang nodded and said, "I see, but how did your father disappear? Is there any news?"

Hai Yunqian sighed and said, "I don't know much about it, but before he left, he said he was going to Daxing Ridge.

Daxing Ridge is sparsely populated and three thousand miles away from the ancient capital city. He must have received some voice transmission or summons to go there, and I am also very helpless."

Ye Jiang frowned and said, "Daxing Ridge is frequently haunted by demonic beasts, and further north is the territory of the Qi Kingdom.

The Qi Kingdom has a hundred thousand demon mountains, and some demonic beasts often cross the border to wreak havoc in the Nanli Kingdom. Did your father encounter a demonic beast?"

Hai Yunqian shook her head and said, "I don't know, because besides my father, there is only me left in our family.

The others don't have much talent for cultivation, and now the family is on the verge of collapse. Please, immortal masters, take me to find my father. If you find him, there will be a generous reward."

Ye Jiang nodded and said, "That's right, your father has something in his hand that my master needs.

We must find him!"

"The matter is urgent. Waiting another minute will put my father in more danger," Hai Yunqian said impatiently. "I have prepared pills for the immortal masters. Let's go first."

With that, she took out five jade bottles, which had been prepared in advance, all containing pure Blood Coagulation Pills.

Ye Jiang took the pills and distributed them to everyone, but he didn't give any to Li Chengfeng.

He said, "Junior brother, you don't need to charge into battle for now. I'll keep this bottle of pills for you first, and you can come to me when you need it."

This was clearly blatant embezzlement.

Li Chengfeng's killing intent surged in his heart, but on the surface, he said helplessly, "Then thank you, Senior Brother."

Hai Yunqian glanced at Li Chengfeng with a look of disdain.

She considered herself an expert at the eighth level of Qi Refining, while Li Chengfeng was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Although they were both from the Bloodshadow lineage of the sect, their strength was only evenly matched with her.

What she really feared was Ye Jiang, who was at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Ye Jiang's every move revealed a grand manner, making people dare not underestimate him.

Although the other three were slightly weaker, the faint killing intent emanating from their bodies also indicated that they were by no means kind people. People of the Demonic Path grew up in killing, so she naturally dared not despise them.

She said softly to Ye Jiang, "Senior Brother, now that the seniors have decided to leave, we might as well set off earlier. After all, the sooner we arrive, the sooner we return."

Ye Jiang didn't take it seriously and said carelessly, "A month has passed. If your father is dead, it's useless for us to go;

If your father is not dead, it's not too late for us to go. Why don't we go to your family first to see if there are any clues before making plans?"

Although Hai Yunqian looked worried, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Ye Jiang then suggested, "Let's go eat first. I haven't tasted the wine and meat of this mortal world for a long time. I must taste it well today."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Li Chengfeng also echoed.

For Li Chengfeng, this was his first time leaving his hometown and coming to a big city.

He felt new and excited about everything here.

He marveled at the prosperity of the mortal world and the skills of the chefs in the restaurant. This experience was crucial to his mental tempering. It was said that this was also a rare experience.

Although Hai Yunqian was anxious, she could only accompany everyone to chat.
