496 Han Muye’s Second Trip to the Central Continent Begins (2)


    …


    Han Muye and Mu Wan did not really travel alone. Instead, arge group of people headed to the Central Continent together.


    After visiting Xiao Yueli and Gao Changgong, Han Muye and the other two followed the Xiao family’s caravan to the Central Continent.


    “Young Master Mu, just ahead of us is the Shao Yuan Ridge. It used to be the base of the Green Tiger n. Now it’s managed by some of the remaining tigers and some humans who moved south.”


    !!


    The leader of the caravan, Xiao Chu, was an elder of the Xiao family and Xiao Yueli’s uncle.


    Of course,pared to Xiao Yueli, Xiao Chu’s status was much lower. He had to lead the caravan to the Central Continent and the Southern Wastnd to umte wealth for the family.


    War had always been apanied by wealth.


    Be it the Xiao family, Qian Yiming’s family, or the caravan fleets, they had all made a fortune in the ongoing wars between the Southern Wastnd and the Central Continent.


    From the migration of humans to the convergence of all kinds of goods, everything else was ill-gotten gain, aside from the military funds that they did not dare to touch.


    Xiao Chu whispered to Han Muye and Mu Wan about the produce of Shao Yuan Ridge, where they were about to go. Many people in the caravans behind him looked at Han Muye with indignant expressions.


    Han Muye’s alias was Mu Ye. He was a beginner alchemist and Mu Wan was his junior sister.


    The reason why they traveled with the caravan was because Mu Ye was Gao Changgong’s distant rtive.


    Gao Changgong actually brought along his family’s Miss and they got together for no reason.


    It was said that the elders of the Xiao family in the Imperial City were very unhappy about this matter.


    However, Xiao Yueli was now in the army. Even if those Xiao family elders had some guts, they would not dare to cause trouble for the army.


    Anyway, the n had said that if Gao Changgong returned to the Central Continent with Xiao Xueli, they would teach him a lesson.


    Gao Changgong was a ruthless person. He was holed up in the army, making those unhappy Xiao family members exasperated.


    Now that they saw Gao Changgong’s distant rtive, they hated him to the core, which showed in their eyes.


    But naturally, Xiao Chu, Xiao Yueli’s uncle who got his power and status from Xiao Yueli, was not like those ordinary disciples. Instead, he was very attentive to Han Muye.


    The Mystic Sun Guards and the Red me Army had upied nearly half of the Southern Wastnd. Most of the various ns in the Southern Wastnd had retreated.


    This was because Qian Yiming had used the condition of not fighting for 10 years in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm. After he left the secret realm, he indeed did not lead an army to fight again.


    In the past three years, arge number of humans had migrated to the Central Continent. On the other hand, the various demon ns under their rule had been divided and undergone various Confucian teachings.


    On the other side, the demons were much more rxed.


    The Heavenly Fox returned, only appearing to appease the various ns before disappearing.


    Some of the demon races began to move to the Western Frontier, while others defended their own ns.


    The returning elites grew rapidly, greatly increasing the strength of their ns.


    This was the demon race. Their bloodlines and habits were all different. It was impossible for them to really be united.


    Even the demons of the Deste Wilderness could not do it, let alone a ce like the Southern Wastnd.


    Once the 10-year period was up, the war would start again. Perhaps the Southern Wastnd would really fall.


    As for whether Qian Yiming would wage war against the Western Frontier, that would depend on whether he had the guts.


    Han Muye was looking forward to it.


    After crossing the mountain ridge, the vige in front of them appeared.


    There were straw sheds surrounded by wooden houses and houses made of soil and stone.


    Most of the demons in the Southern Wastnd were not particr about their food, clothing, and transportation. This was a huge contrast to the opulent Central Continent.


    As the caravan fleet moved forward, a few figures rushed over from the vige.


    The leader was an old student in his fifties who was dressed in a schrly robe. There was also a tall and strong member of the Green Tiger n with stripes on his head and face.


    The Green Tiger n’s bloodline was considered powerful. Newborn nsmen already had the power to cultivate their essence.


    However, such a bloodline inheritance was difficult and the n was not big.


    It was also because of this that the Green Tiger n here chose to stay in Shao Yuan Ridge when the otherrge ns were defeated.


    Qian Yiming’s army did not exterminate the demons of the Southern Wastnd. Most of them were stationed there.


    However, the Central Continent would arrange for many humans to migrate and live with these ns.


    With the Confucian teachings, these ns would also be assimted after a few hundred years.


    The old student who came to wee the caravan fleet was called Zhou Pu. He had wasted half his life in the Central Continent and was only a student. He responded to the dynasty’s call and led some vigers to the Southern Wastnd to be the guardian of the n.


    He could be considered to have some authority and could condense the People’s Will.


    This was the reason why many Confucianist cultivators of the Central Continent were willing toe to the Southern Wastnd.


    “Shopkeeper Xiao, the spiritual herbs you want have been prepared. Please take a rest in the vige.”


    Zhou Pu cupped his hands and smiled.


    The tiger man beside him also cupped his hands and remained silent.


    There were a total of more than 100 people in the caravan fleet. Other than Han Muye and Mu Wan, there were also seven or eight juniors of the Xiao family who were in training. The rest were staff and guards.


    Half of therge caravans dragged by more than 40 spiritual steeds were already full.


    It wasn’t just the Xiao family’s caravans. Most of the other caravans were the same.


    Unless it was a real treasure that required a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to carry it with him, the rest of the ordinary goods would be transported by caravans.


    This way, he could train his juniors and slowly gather connections.


    There seemed to be a lot of goods in the caravans, but they were not really valuable treasures. They were not enough topensate for engaging a Heaven Realm cultivator.


    Unless the Han Family Trading Company was transporting precious medicinal pills, they typically usedrge caravan fleets.


    Xiao Chu did not reject Zhou Pu’s invitation and led the caravans to set up camp outside the vige.


    Zhou Pu and the others invited Xiao Chu and a group of Xiao family disciples to a banquet. Xiao Chu invited Han Muye and Mu Wan to go together, but they did not go.


    The two of them carried bamboo baskets and herb hoes on their backs. Under the guidance of a few Green Fox nsmen, they went up the mountain to look for herbs.


    The Tiger Source Grass was abundant in the Green Tiger n’s base. It was very old and had rich medicinal power. It could be used as a supplement to several grade seven pills.


    The main reason why the caravan group came to Shao Yuan Ridge was to buy Tiger Source Grass.


    In the Southern Wastnd, 10 stalks of these spiritual herbs could only be exchanged for one spiritual rock. In the Central Continent, each stalk could be exchanged for more than one spiritual rock.


    Every time the Xiao family’s caravan fleet came, they would collect tens of thousands of Tiger Source Grass.


    This was also the main source of ie for the Green Tiger n on Shao Yuan Ridge.


    Otherwise, the ns here would not be so polite to the caravan fleet.


    Han Muye and Mu Wan carried the bamboo baskets and walked 10 miles away. There was a lot of Tiger Source Grass in the forest.


    However, most of them were rtively young and did not have enough medicinal power.


    “Eh, this one is not bad. It has 20 years of medicinal power.” Han Muye looked at a spiritual herb with four leaves and eight petals on a stone cliff in front of him and smiled.


    He picked up the herb hoe and tapped gently.


    “Boom!”


    The half-foot-tall stone cliff shattered.


    The herb naturally shattered as well.


    Han Muye opened his mouth and smiled wryly.


    Mu Wanughed out loud.


    “Senior Brother Han, I’m here to pick herbs. Help me carry the herb basket.”


    Handing the medicine basket on her back to Han Muye, Mu Wan took a few steps forward and dug up another lush Tiger Source Grass.


    As the two of them walked, Mu Wan bent down to pick herbs from time to time.


    “This one is 60 years old. It can be exchanged for 300 spiritual rocks in the Central Continent.”


    “Wow, a hundred-year-old Tiger Source Grass. We’re rich. Be careful, be careful. Don’t break the leaves. This is worth 2,000 spiritual rocks.”


    Looking at the happy Mu Wan, Han Muye smiled.


    Mu Wan could now casually refine a cauldron of medicinal pills to exchange for hundreds of thousands of spiritual rocks. These Tiger Source Grass were really nothing to her.


    However, at this moment, in Han Muye’s eyes, Mu Wan still looked like she had been refining pills in the medical hall on the Nine Mystic Mountain to exchange for spiritual rocks.


    Little money-grubber.


    After crossing a hill, the two of them stopped.


    There were two figures on the hill ahead.


    The two of them were talking in low voices and did not notice Han Muye and Mu Wan’s arrival.


    “Cui Cui, if your grandfather and the rest really don’t agree to us being together, then forget it. I, I, will leave Shao Yuan Ridge in the future.”


    The person who spoke was a young man from the Green Tiger n. He was tall and strong, and his face was simple and honest. There was a hint of disappointment on his face.


    Beside him, a young girl in a light pink dress shook her head and red at him. “Shao Datian, how dare you abandon me after having an affair? Why didn’t you say forget it when you rolled on the grass with me back then?”


    Hearing the young girl’s words, the Tiger n youth called Shao Datian panicked and hurriedly said, “Cui Cui, I, how could I do that? I, I’m just afraid. They said that I’m a Tiger n member and you’re a human. We, we can’t…”


    Before he could finish, Cui Cui reached out and grabbed Shao Datian’s cor. “Datian, let’s elope.”
