Shortly after, the City Lord’s phantom emerged, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Master."
Qin Feiyang asked, "I had you investigate Mu Qing. How did it go?"
"I apologize, I was incapable." The City Lord grew flustered and hastily knelt on the ground, saying.
Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow.
"I ordered investigations of every tribe within a radius of ten thousand miles, and there’s no sign of a person named Mu Qing," the City Lord said in panic.
Qin Feiyang was silent for a moment before asking, "What about the tribes deeper into the territory?"
The Land of Oblivion was vast, and Sky Thunder City was not the end of it. There were even more powerful tribes deep within.
The City Lord shook his head and said, "I have not sought information on the tribes deeper within."
"Why not?" Qin Feiyang furrowed his brows.
"Master may not know this, but there is a glacier a thousand miles away from Sky Thunder City..."
According to the City Lord, ferocious beasts ran rampant within the glacier, and considering his power, entering would mean certain death. In other words, this glacier acted as a dividing line.
Qin Feiyang asked, "Surely you must know about the tribes on the other side of the glacier?"
"I’ve heard about them."
"Near the other side of the glacier, there are two major tribes."
"The Wang Clan and the Li Clan."
"It’s said that these two tribes have populations numbering in the hundreds of thousands, with a Five-Star War Ancestor each," the City Lord reported truthfully.
"Five-Star War Ancestor..." Qin Feiyang pondered for a bit, a hint of contempt in his eyes, then asked, "How much longer until the next Elixir Tower assessment?"
"Four months," the City Lord thought for a moment, then said.
Qin Feiyang instantly furrowed his brows. He still had to wait four months?
The City Lord hesitated for a moment, then carefully asked, "Master, there’s something I’m not sure whether or not I should say."
"Say it," Qin Feiyang said.
The City Lord said, "Once, when I was chatting with the Tower Master, she casually mentioned something."
"What did she say?" Qin Feiyang asked curiously.
The City Lord said, "She said that the power of the Elixir Tower is vast enough to influence the situation on the Forgotten Continent."
Qin Feiyang was stunned. Could the Elixir Tower really have such power to influence the state of the Forgotten Continent?
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he asked, "Aside from Sky Thunder City, are there any other Elixir Towers elsewhere?"
"Other places?" The City Lord was startled. He thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don’t know. All I know is that the only Elixir Tower in this region is in Sky Thunder City."
After he finished speaking, the City Lord also seemed to realize something and asked uncertainly, "Master, do you mean that the Elixir Tower in Sky Thunder City is just a branch of the larger Elixir Tower?"
"That’s the only explanation. Otherwise, the Tower Master wouldn’t dare to make such a statement," Qin Feiyang said.
"That seems... quite plausible." The City Lord nodded thoughtfully. If that were true, it would be truly incredible.
"That’s not right!" "As the City Lord of Sky Thunder City, why don’t you know the details of the Elixir Tower?" Qin Feiyang scowled.
As everyone knows, each place has a supreme authority. Like in Spirit State. Whether it is Black Bear City, Yan City, or the State City, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Prefect. The City Lords of the major cities are naturally subordinates of the Prefect. Similarly, above the City Lord of Sky Thunder City, there should be an even more powerful ruler. Even if the City Lord of Sky Thunder City didn’t know, these higher-level authorities should at least know the details of the Elixir Tower, right? The Elixir Tower is situated within the city, occupying its own space. Shouldn’t the higher authorities have revealed at least some of its secrets to the City Lord of Sky Thunder City? If not much, they should at least have let the City Lord of Sky Thunder City know the Elixir Tower’s origins, shouldn’t they? But why does the City Lord of Sky Thunder City know nothing about it?
The City Lord, upon hearing this, respectfully said, "Master might not know this, but the Elixir Tower is very mysterious, even older than Sky Thunder City itself." After a moment’s pause, the City Lord added, "According to legends, the first City Lord established Sky Thunder City only after obtaining the consent of the Tower Master of the Elixir Tower."
"This..." Qin Feiyang was somewhat taken aback.
"Moreover, cities in the Land of Oblivion are generally built by Loose Cultivators like us, and they have no connection to any tribe or power," the City Lord added.
"I see!" A look of realization dawned on Qin Feiyang’s face. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be surprising for the City Lord of Sky Thunder City to be ignorant of the Elixir Tower’s details.
But suddenly, Qin Feiyang realized he had overlooked something and asked, "Did you just say that this place is called the Forgotten Continent?"
"Yes!" "Didn’t you know, Master?" The City Lord nodded, looking at Qin Feiyang with uncertainty.
Qin Feiyang said, "I’m not from here, so of course I wouldn’t know. Back where we are from, this place is called the Land of Oblivion."
"The Land of Oblivion?" The City Lord paused for a moment before laughing awkwardly. "It’s only missing two words—there’s not much difference."
"The difference is huge." Qin Feiyang gave him a cool look. Though they were only different by two words, their meanings were worlds apart. The Land of Oblivion could be understood as a small training ground, not very large. But a continent is different. A continent includes many regions and is a general term for a world. This meant that the Forgotten Continent was a complete world. It might even be an independent, vast world!
"It seems the waters here run deep," Qin Feiyang murmured to himself. After regaining his composure, he turned to the City Lord and asked, "Do you know the coordinates of the Li Clan’s and the Wang Clan’s territories?"
"I have never been there, so I don’t know," the City Lord answered, shaking his head.
Qin Feiyang frowned. "All right. Remember to inform me on the day of the Elixir Tower assessment. Also, help me gather medicinal materials for Battle Intent Elixirs—as many as possible." He then deactivated the Image Crystal Stone.
"Farewell, Master." The City Lord bowed respectfully. After Qin Feiyang’s phantom image disappeared, he let out a sigh of relief. However, his expression quickly turned to one of confusion. If he’s not from the Forgotten Continent, then where could this mysterious master have come from?
After putting away the Image Crystal Stone, Qin Feiyang didn’t immediately proceed to replicate the fourth stroke of the Killing Art. Instead, he walked over to the Flood Dragon Furnace and began his alchemy. The elixir he aimed to concoct was naturally the Battle Intent Elixir.
Currently, everyone inside the ancient castle, except for the Black Dragon Snake, required a large amount of Battle Intent Elixirs for their cultivation. Especially when practicing the Six-Character Mantra, the consumption of Battle Intent Elixirs was several times that of Fatty and the Wolf King combined. All the previously concocted Battle Intent Elixirs had been used up.
Therefore, Qin Feiyang planned to spend the following four months solely on the production of Battle Intent Elixirs, storing them for later use.
Time slipped away like grains of sand between fingers.
「Three months later」
One morning, a female voice echoed through the sky above Sky Thunder City. "City Lord, announce that the Elixir Tower assessment will officially commence one month from now." The voice was crisp and pleasing, yet carried immense authority. This was the voice from the Elixir Tower!
At the same time as the voice sounded, a graceful woman appeared in the sky above Sky Thunder City. Her sky-blue hair resembled a clear sky, delighting everyone who saw it. However, her face was concealed by a stunningly beautiful mask. Her bearing was extraordinarily striking. Though her face was hidden, she radiated a breathtaking aura. This was the Tower Master Qin Feiyang had long been waiting for!
However, before the people of Sky Thunder City below could react, the Tower Master disappeared into the Elixir Tower without a trace.
But as soon as they heard the Tower Master’s voice, the people were stirred into excitement. The news spread like wildfire, reaching all the major tribes in no time.
Immediately, the people from all major tribes were overjoyed. The Elixir Tower assessment had finally begun once again.
Qin Feiyang received the City Lord’s message almost instantly. Instead of heading straight to Sky Thunder City, he focused on continuing his alchemy. After all, there was still a month left.
During this period, the City Lord also brought him a batch of medicinal materials for Battle Intent Elixirs, totaling over a million sets.
In this period, Qin Feiyang worked with all his might. Each time his spiritual power was exhausted, he would rest, then immediately resume his work after recovering. So far, he had produced over 400,000 elixirs.
The day before the official Elixir Tower assessment began, Qin Feiyang finally stopped, looking rather haggard. However, as he looked at the several Qiankun Bags by his side, his face was full of joy.
In the past four months, he had concocted over half a million Battle Intent Elixirs, all of which had four Elixir Patterns. This would be enough to last everyone a very long time.
Ever since arriving in the Forgotten Continent, seven months had passed. In these seven months, everyone had made remarkable progress in their cultivation.
The Wolf King and Fatty had both successively stepped into the Five-Star War Ancestor realm. The Mountain-piercing Beast had broken through to become a Three-Star War Ancestor. With relentless effort, Lu Hong had finally stepped into the War Ancestor realm.
The Black Dragon Snake, having crippled its old cultivation, had made astonishing progress after unlocking the Door of Potential. It had now restored its cultivation to that of a Five-Star Martial Ancestor. It was only a matter of time before it stepped into the War King realm.
Seeing Qin Feiyang stop his alchemy, Fatty opened his eyes and asked, "Boss, what if there’s no news of Mu Qing?"
"Then we’ll head deeper into the Forgotten Continent," answered Qin Feiyang without hesitation.
"Alright, Master Fatty will continue his cultivation. I’m definitely going to surpass you." Fatty chuckled, then closed his eyes and went back to cultivating.
Surpass me? Qin Feiyang shook his head and chuckled. Honestly, he was quite envious of Fatty and the others. All they had to focus on was their cultivation, nothing else. But what about him? It felt like there was never an end to the tasks he had to handle. Take this time, for example. If it weren’t for concocting Battle Intent Elixirs these past four months, the fourth stroke of the Killing Art would surely have been completed by now. His cultivation would have also reached the Six-Star War Ancestor realm. But there was no other choice. Who made him the leader of this small team? A leader, after all, had to shoulder such responsibilities.
SWOOSH!
Gathering his thoughts, Qin Feiyang left the ancient castle and took out the Image Crystal Stone.
Not long after, the phantom image of the City Lord appeared.
Qin Feiyang said, "I have a task for you."
"Please speak, Master," said the City Lord respectfully.
"Mu Qing is a very smart person. He should guess that I’ll be in Sky Thunder City lying in wait for him," Qin Feiyang said. "Therefore, if he comes to participate in the Elixir Tower assessment this time, he will likely be in disguise."
The City Lord thought for a moment and said, "Master, you mean I should thoroughly investigate every individual who comes to participate in this assessment?"
"Not bad, you’re getting smarter." "Yes, no one can be overlooked. You must take note of anyone suspicious and report them to me then," Qin Feiyang said.
"Understood, I’ll get on it at once," said the City Lord, respectfully nodding his head before his phantom image faded away.
Qin Feiyang put away the Image Crystal Stone and gazed at the sky, his eyes flickering. He had a premonition. Mu Qing would definitely show up this time.
