Ye Mo immediately replied,
Brother Bian, I didn’t come from the three seas, I came from the South Peace State. If you’re using a middle grade flying cultivation artifact, then it will take less than a year to reach South Peace State. Good luck.
Brother Ye, you actually came from South Peace State? Is the South Peace State spirit chi really dense and suitable for cultivation to immortal ascension?
Bian Fengta asked in surprise and joy.
Ye Mo nodded.
That’s right, it indeed has dense spirit chi. Although I haven’t seen people go through immortal ascension, it’s indeed the best place for cultivation.
Then you’re going back to South Peace State? Let’s go together,
Bian Fengta immediately said. Ye Mo was only body condensation state but he was very powerful and a lightning cultivator, it would be much safer for him to go with Ye Mo.
Ye Mo said apologetically,
I need to go Heartless Sea to find a herb so I can’t go back with you.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo thougth of the map Meng Hanan gave him, that position was near the east side. He wondered if Bian Fengta had been there. Thinking about this, he took it out and asked,
Brother Bian, have you been past here?
Bian Fengta took the jade slip and looked, then his face changed drastically and he looked at Ye Mo in shock.
You’re going to Lost Soul Ruins?
You must not go there, you won’t be able to get back out if you go there.
Ye Mo looked at Bian Fengta in confusion.
Brother Bian, you’ve really been there? It’s called Lost Soul Ruins? It can’t be that dangerous right?
Bian Fengta said seriously,
That place is very eerie, I haven’t been there but I went past that place. I heard people say there were level nine spirit herbs there, so I went around to go there…
Heard?
How come he’d never heard anyone say that?
Bian Fengta explained,
I survived till now not just because my power is barely below disaster transformation state level one but also because I’m careful. I never look for trouble in the Heartless Sea, I won’t even touch low level spirit beasts. In fact, not all the beast cultivators in Heartless Sea are murderous. Some pursue cultivation just like human cultivators. I know about Lost Soul Ruins because I met a cauldron filling state peak stage beast cultivator, he told me a lot of things I didn’t know about the Heartless Sea. He even told me about the Lost Soul Ruins. He told me there’re large amounts of level nine spirit herbs and even level 10 spirit herbs.
Ye Mo was shook, a level 10 spirit herb was an immortal herb, how could it appear in the cultivation realm?
Bian Fengta continued,
That beast cultivator is called Teng Yi, we got along well and became good friends. Because I was a level three pill king and helped him concoct many pills, he took me to Lost Soul Ruins but we didn’t go in. From afar, I felt this ominous feeling. The entire Lost Soul Ruins is covered in a grey mist. Spirit sense can’t scan in at all. Teng Yi told me that regardless of whether they were human or beast cultivator, those who went in never came back. Those rare few who came back lost their soul and were just walking bodies.
Ye Mo heard this and his heart sunk – either Meng Hanan tricked him or she was only at the outskirts of the place.
Immortal Curl Flower was the only thing that could save Ji ling, if Ye Mo didn’t try he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself.
Brother Ye are you still going to go?
Bian Fengta looked expectantly at Ye Mo. If Ye Mo wasn’t going they could go back to South Peace State together.
Ye Mo nodded slowly.
Since I came I must go see, if there’s really no way, I won’t have any regrets.
If it was certain death Ye Mo wouldn’t go in, but he had to try first.
Hearing this, Bian Fengta fell silent for a while before saying,
In that case, I will go with brother Ye.
Ye Mo looked at Bian Fengta in confusion, they had only met for the first time. He didn’t have that much charisma right?
Bian Fengta saw this and smiled.
Brother Ye is only body condensation state level seven and you didn’t get injured fighting with a disaster transformation state cultivator, plus brother Ye’s Lightning Sword is some powerful magic I’ve never seen before. I believe brother Ye isn’t an ordinary person in South Peace State. My cultivation level is higher than brother Ye but it’s only a matter of time for brother Ye to surpass me. I don’t know anyone in South Peace State so I might as well go with brother Ye.
Plus I’ve been walking in the Heartless Sea for decades. I won’t mind staying here an extra year or two. To be honest, I really admire brother Ye and want to be friends, would you think I’m being too sudden?
Ye Mo finally realized why Bian Fengta was able to come here despite being cauldron filling state and became friends with a beast cultivator. He had keen eyes and spoke comfortable words. He was quite a clean and honest person.
Ye Mo didn’t need to hide things anymore, he also felt Bian Fengta was a worthy person to connect with. His Three Birth Chant’s instincts were very good and he usually wouldn’t see wrong.
He said to Bian Fengta,
Of course I would love being friends with brother Bian, but other than finding the Immortal Curl Flower at Lost Soul Ruins, I still need to go North Far State. So regardless of whether I can get it, I won’t be able to go to South Peace State with brother Bian. But don’t worry about not having a place to go in South Peace State – just like you said, I have a little fame in South Peace State. I have my own city, if you don’t mind you can go to Mo Yue City.
What? You want to travel the Heartless Sea and go to North Far State?
Bian Fengta looked at Ye Mo in shock.
Ye Mo nodded seriously.
That’s right.
Bian Fengta heard this and fell silent for a long while before exclaiming,
Brother Ye, you’re the most brave cultivator I’ve seen to dare cross the Heartless Sea at body condensation state power, and leave the dense spirit chi of South Peace State to go to North Far State! I know you have a reason that you must go, but no matter what I greatly admire you, so I will still take you to Lost Soul Ruins and wait a month for you.
Bian Fengta trusted his eyes, Ye Mo was no ordinary cultivator and it was worth it to spend a few years to connect with him.
Ye Mo knew what he meant, if he didn’t come out, Bian Fengta would take this news to South Peace State, but Ye Mo saluted with his fists.
Thank you brother Bian but you only need to point me the way. There’s no need to send me over and wait a month.
Bian Fengta said genuinely,
Brother Ye, if you approve of me then let me go with you. Although I can’t go with North Far State with you, it’s my honour to meet someone like you.
Ye Mo smiled.
In that case alright. I’m smaller than you, just call me Ye Mo.
Bian Fengta was willing to spend a few years to take him there, this friend was worth making.
Bian Fengta said with joy,
Okay then, Ye Mo, just call me Er Taa, that’s what my martial siblings called me in my sect.
Ye Mo said,
Okay, Er Taa, seeing that you’re cauldron filling state level eight, you must be from a big sect in East Black State right?
Bian Fengta’s eyes flashed with some sadness and nodded,
Yes, I was from the Hidden Sword Sect…
8-star sect Hidden Sword Sect?
Ye Mo asked in shock.
You know East Black State’s Hidden Sword Sect?
Bian Fengta looked at Ye Mo in confusion.
Ye Mo nodded.
Yes, I heard my wife say that it’s one of only three 8-star sects in East Black State.
Luo Ying told him this when they were in Magical Herb Sect.
Ye Mo asked again,
Er Taa, do you know a small 4-star sect called Magical Herb Sect in East Black State?
Bian Fengta nodded.
It seems you know a lot, even such little sects. I only learned of it after I left. It’s said that sect is very low key and their low grade pills are good. I don’t know anything else.
Ye Mo felt sad, he believed that when Bian Fengta left, Magical Herb Sect hadn’t been attacked yet.
