Ye Mo immediately replied, âBrother Bian, I didnât come from the three seas, I came from the South Peace State. If youâre using a middle grade flying cultivation artifact, then it will take less than a year to reach South Peace State. Good luck.â
âBrother Ye, you actually came from South Peace State? Is the South Peace State spirit chi really dense and suitable for cultivation to immortal ascension?â Bian Fengta asked in surprise and joy.
Ye Mo nodded. âThatâs right, it indeed has dense spirit chi. Although I havenât seen people go through immortal ascension, itâs indeed the best place for cultivation.â
âThen youâre going back to South Peace State? Letâs go together,â 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, âI need to go Heartless Sea to find a herb so I canât go back with you.â
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, âBrother Bian, have you been past here?â
Bian Fengta took the jade slip and looked, then his face changed drastically and he looked at Ye Mo in shock. âYouâre going to Lost Soul Ruins?â
âYou must not go there, you wonât be able to get back out if you go there.â
Ye Mo looked at Bian Fengta in confusion. âBrother Bian, youâve really been there? Itâs called Lost Soul Ruins? It canât be that dangerous right?â
Bian Fengta said seriously, âThat place is very eerie, I havenât 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...â
âHeard?â How come heâd never heard anyone say that?
Bian Fengta explained, âI survived till now not just because my power is barely below disaster transformation state level one but also because Iâm careful. I never look for trouble in the Heartless Sea, I wonât 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 didnât know about the Heartless Sea. He even told me about the Lost Soul Ruins. He told me thereâre large amounts of level nine spirit herbs and even level 10 spirit herbs.â
Ye Mo was shook, a level 10 spirit herb was an immortal herb, how could it appear in the cultivation realm?
Bian Fengta continued, âThat 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 didnât go in. From afar, I felt this ominous feeling. The entire Lost Soul Ruins is covered in a grey mist. Spirit sense canât 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.â
Ye Mo heard this and his heart sunk â 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 didnât try he wouldnât be able to forgive himself.
âBrother Ye are you still going to go?â Bian Fengta looked expectantly at Ye Mo. If Ye Mo wasnât going they could go back to South Peace State together.
Ye Mo nodded slowly. âSince I came I must go see, if thereâs really no way, I wonât have any regrets.â
If it was certain death Ye Mo wouldnât go in, but he had to try first.
Hearing this, Bian Fengta fell silent for a while before saying, âIn that case, I will go with brother Ye.â
Ye Mo looked at Bian Fengta in confusion, they had only met for the first time. He didnât have that much charisma right?
Bian Fengta saw this and smiled. âBrother Ye is only body condensation state level seven and you didnât get injured fighting with a disaster transformation state cultivator, plus brother Yeâs Lightning Sword is some powerful magic Iâve never seen before. I believe brother Ye isnât an ordinary person in South Peace State. My cultivation level is higher than brother Ye but itâs only a matter of time for brother Ye to surpass me. I donât know anyone in South Peace State so I might as well go with brother Ye.â
âPlus Iâve been walking in the Heartless Sea for decades. I wonât mind staying here an extra year or two. To be honest, I really admire brother Ye and want to be friends, would you think Iâm 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 didnât need to hide things anymore, he also felt Bian Fengta was a worthy person to connect with. His Three Birth Chantâs instincts were very good and he usually wouldnât see wrong.
He said to Bian Fengta, âOf 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 wonât be able to go to South Peace State with brother Bian. But donât worry about not having a place to go in South Peace State â just like you said, I have a little fame in South Peace State. I have my own city, if you donât mind you can go to Mo Yue City.â
âWhat? You want to travel the Heartless Sea and go to North Far State?â Bian Fengta looked at Ye Mo in shock.
Ye Mo nodded seriously. âThatâs right.â
Bian Fengta heard this and fell silent for a long while before exclaiming, âBrother Ye, youâre the most brave cultivator Iâve 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.â
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 didnât come out, Bian Fengta would take this news to South Peace State, but Ye Mo saluted with his fists. âThank you brother Bian but you only need to point me the way. Thereâs no need to send me over and wait a month.â
Bian Fengta said genuinely, âBrother Ye, if you approve of me then let me go with you. Although I canât go with North Far State with you, itâs my honour to meet someone like you.â
Ye Mo smiled. âIn that case alright. Iâm smaller than you, just call me Ye Mo.â
Bian Fengta was willing to spend a few years to take him there, this friend was worth making.
Bian Fengta said with joy, âOkay then, Ye Mo, just call me Er Taa, thatâs what my martial siblings called me in my sect.â
Ye Mo said, âOkay, Er Taa, seeing that youâre cauldron filling state level eight, you must be from a big sect in East Black State right?â
Bian Fengtaâs eyes flashed with some sadness and nodded, âYes, I was from the Hidden Sword Sect...â
â8-star sect Hidden Sword Sect?â Ye Mo asked in shock.
âYou know East Black Stateâs Hidden Sword Sect?â Bian Fengta looked at Ye Mo in confusion.
Ye Mo nodded. âYes, I heard my wife say that itâs one of only three 8-star sects in East Black State.â
Luo Ying told him this when they were in Magical Herb Sect.
Ye Mo asked again, âEr Taa, do you know a small 4-star sect called Magical Herb Sect in East Black State?â
Bian Fengta nodded. âIt seems you know a lot, even such little sects. I only learned of it after I left. Itâs said that sect is very low key and their low grade pills are good. I donât know anything else.â
Ye Mo felt sad, he believed that when Bian Fengta left, Magical Herb Sect hadnât been attacked yet.
