The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 807 - 446: Strange Expulsion Order (2)

Seeing the old man speak so seriously, she put away her playful thoughts and waved her hand, saying: "Shopkeeper, I have important matters to attend to in the Snow Mountain and cannot leave for a while. It would be better if you clearly explained what this is all about to me." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Well..." Shopkeeper Hulian looked troubled, pondering for a few moments before gritting his teeth to say, "Fine, do you know what the special product of the Hulian Tribe is?"

How would she know this? "This place backs onto the Snow Mountain, could it be furs and some rare herbs?"

Shopkeeper Hulian gave a wry smile: "Haha, if it were that simple, it would be good. There’s something else here that’s special, humans!"

Humans? Can humans be considered a special product? Isn’t the South Continent filled with humans?

"More than three hundred years ago..." The shopkeeper had just begun to mumble out a few words when footsteps sounded behind him, followed by a heavy slap on his shoulder:

"Store Manager, is this how you do business, just chatting without attending to customers!"

With that slap, naturally, his words were interrupted. The voice behind, though with a hint of laughter, made Shopkeeper Hulian shudder suddenly. He hurriedly stood up and turned around with a look of flattery, saying: "Young Master Zhe, I didn’t see you come in, please, take a seat!" He tried to lead the owner of the voice upstairs to a private seat, but the person shook his head and said: "The spot down here is good."

Ning Xiaoxian had already seen the newcomer, surprisingly a dashing young man around twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, although tall, his face appeared delicate, also a mortal. At this moment, he declined the shopkeeper’s goodwill and found a table nearby to sit, coincidentally on her left side.

Ning Xiaoxian focused on eating her first meal in three days, not paying attention to him, but heard Changtian’s voice transmission in her ears: "The one who came looking for you twice, it’s this person, I recognize his voice."

With this person arriving, the shopkeeper went silent, what’s the reason? She ate a fruit, clapped her hands, and called: "Shopkeeper, come over."

Shopkeeper Hulian had already shrunk behind the counter, and hearing her call, unwillingly jogged over, looking distressed as if fearing she’d ask about trouble. She smiled slightly, not bringing it up, just said: "I need to head into the mountain, can you introduce me to a reliable and experienced guide?" Atalia Mountain was too vast, finding the whereabouts of the three-foot green blade in such a massive territory was like finding a needle in a haystack.

She needed more clues, seeking out experienced local people was a good approach.

"Heading into the mountain, at this time?" Shopkeeper Hulian was startled, "Miss, in at most five more days, the mountain will be closed, it’s too dangerous to go inside now!"

"But I’ve traveled thousands of miles here for something in the mountain, I can’t not go." She appeared troubled.

Before the shopkeeper could speak, the Young Master Zhe sitting beside suddenly said: "If Miss wants to enter the mountain at this time, my family can help."

This person didn’t even ask her reason for entering the mountain and said he could help, truly odd. She sized up Young Master Zhe twice, smiling: "The snow melt is the most dangerous time of the year, and you can help me?"

"Indeed." Young Master Zhe also smiled, slightly showing off, "In the past day, I saw your guards asking around the village about the Great Snow Mountain, you must be eager to head into the mountain. My family has been dealing in furs and herbs here for generations, often interacting with mountain hunters and medicinal gatherers. If Miss wants to enter the mountain, I can connect you with an experienced hunter as a guide."

"How experienced?" She was interested, "I need to advance to the central area of the Great Snow Mountain, mortals cannot reach it."

Unexpectedly, Young Master Zhe immediately beamed with enthusiasm, his voice slightly trembling: "You, surely you are a cultivator, my lord!" As he said this, the Hidden Stream Guards all turned their eyes, giving him a cold glance. How ignorant, isn’t it just cultivators or mortals? What do their great monsters count as?

Young Master Zhe’s face turned pale instantly, apparently unable to withstand the gaze filled with killing aura from so many demons. Ning Xiaoxian, however, admired him a bit. Among mortals, his courage was quite significant, not long ago she saw a Hidden Stream Guard glaring a human male unconscious with just a look.

It’s not that she always thought the worst of people, but when someone shows undue enthusiasm, they either have an ulterior motive or ill intent. This person immediately changed his address to "you," clearly needing her help. She took a sip of yak milk tea: "What’s the condition?" The tea here was made from yak milk, with a heavy gamey taste, which she wasn’t used to. Later, she would have to return to the God Demon Prison to brew a pot of plain tea to cleanse her palate.

Young Master Zhe’s response immediately piqued everyone’s interest. He whispered: "Do you want a map of Atalia Great Snow Mountain? It’s marked with many places unreachable by mortals. I have a way to get it, but, but I need you to do me a favor!"

Her eyes lit up, straightforwardly saying: "Speak!"

Young Master Zhe looked around and said: "It’s inconvenient here, please follow me back to my manor to discuss in detail, may I?"

She had no objections, stood up, and the Hidden Stream Guards behind her also stood. These demons were accustomed to swaggering in the mountains, exuding a faint killing aura, immediately showing they weren’t to be trifled with, almost as if ready to paste a sign saying "Strangers Unwelcome" on their faces. It’s no wonder in this inn, essentially no one sat near them.

Young Master Zhe saw this scene and was all smiles, the stronger they appeared, the happier he seemed. She exchanged a glance with Tu Jin, both a bit baffled. (To be continued.
