Swamp Ruin
Swamp Ruin
Ge Yan frowned and said to the other bodyguard, "Prepare immortal crystals, we must get the two Corner Soul Weeds tomorrow at the auction."
…
Ye Mo breathed easy. He was at the Lao Xi Swamp now. The way to get there wasn't complicated indeed, but it wasn't close either.
Ye Mo offered to use his Blue Moon and the four spent just a day to get there.
Ye Mo thought this place would be like a swamp, but when he got here, he realized he was greatly mistaken. Usually, swamps would have plantations and some floating woods or water ditches, but this swamp was just full of rotting mud.
There was no water nor any herbs. The mud was dull grey and there were some bubbles.
There were cultivation resources at this sort of place? Ye Mo looked dazedly at this place and couldn't comprehend this. Were they going dive inside and look for cultivation resources?
Seeing this, Gao Yuan laughed. "Ye Mo, you wouldn't think we're going inside to find cultivation resources right?"
Ye Mo laughed awkwardly. He really thought so.
Seeing this Gao Yuan laughed. "You thought right, although not everyone would do this, some still would. However you need to choose the right place, if you dare to go down here you will never come back up."
Li Heng explained, "There are a huge amount of immortal items in here. They're all valuable. If you can find a Mud Lotus, then you would have cultivation resources for a few hundred years. But in all these years, there have only been three Mud Lotuses. Of course, most places are very dangerous. If you go down you would be devoured forever. Other than inside, there are also large amounts of Floating Jiao on the surface. These are valuable as well. Each one is worth two three hundred low grade immortal crystals."
Ye Mo was dazed, he realized he made a big mistake. At the Bi Yi Immortal City, he didn't buy that immortal herb jade slip. Thing had a lot of immortal herbs inside too, but it was mainly targeted at the cultivation realm.
"I haven't heard of this either." Ye Mo smiled awkwardly.
Gao Yuan took out a jade slip and gave it to Ye Mo. "This is a menu of frequently seen immortal herbs and materials, have a look."
Ye Mo took the jade slip gratefully and didn't mention immortal crystals. He could tell that Gao Yuan was much more generous than Li Heng.
Li Heng said to Ye Mo, "This is Lao Xi Swamp's outskirts, there's nothing much here. We just need to fly for another half a day."
Ye Mo just wanted to reply when his face changed. His spirit sense was much more powerful than the hollow immortal tertiary stage Li Heng. He saw two cultivators flying over here, one of them was golden immortal power already.
Li Heng said that more than 90% of cultivators here were hollow immortal, only occasionally would there be golden immortals.
Ye Mo's face changed not because the person was golden immortal but because he had seen this golden immortal. When the attendant at the merchant tower called out 'Corner Soul Weed', everyone heard it and everyone was watching him. This golden immortal was one of them.
Ye Mo didn't believe there could be such a coincidence that as soon as he came here, that golden immortal arrived.
Thinking about this Ye Mo set up tens of stealth formation flags.
"Hmm, Ye Mo you're an immortal formation master?" Li Heng asked in shock.
Ye Mo laughed and said, "I'm just a low level immortal formation master. I can set up some simple immortal formations. The formation flags I set down are to hide our tracks. I'm scared someone will chase us."
Gao Yuan raised her thumb at Ye Mo. "Ye Mo, you just ascended but you do things very carefully. No wonder you can ascend to the immortal realm at such a young age. You're probably some famous person in the cultivation realm right?"
Ye Mo laughed but didn't answer.
Gao Yuan didn't expect Ye Mo to say anything, but she looked at Li Heng.
Ye Mo's spirit sense was watching them both. They were all fighting at the bottom of immortal realm society and they weren't that close. Ye Mo had a good impression of them but it didn't mean he wasn't wary.
Li Heng nodded at Gao Yuan but didn't talk. They sped up. Ye Mo saw this and didn't show any expression. Even if three hollow immortals attacked him he wouldn't mind. Plus, they had no reason to attack him.
Seeing that golden immortal roam around for a while before changing direction, Ye Mo breathed easy.
The Lao Xi Swamp was huge. Even a golden immortal's spirit sense wouldn't be able to see the end.
Li Heng noticeably sped up, and half a day later, Li Heng stopped. Seeing Li Heng look at him, Ye Mo immediately knew something was about to happen.
Li Heng saluted with his fists to Ye Mo. "Ye Mo, I can tell you're no evil person and you've been with us for a few days. I believe you can tell we're not evil too."
Ye Mo smiled. "Of course, I trust brother Li and sister Yuan - that's why I came with you guys to get rich here."
Gao Yuan laughed. "Ye Mo, you're really straightforward. Get rich, haha, that's right - we're here to get rich."
Li Heng nodded. He thought that Ye Mo meant he was only hollow immortal primary stage, if he didn't trust them he wouldn't come with them.
But he still asked out of caution. Now that Ye Mo gave a certain answer, Li Heng was more assured and said, "Ye Mo, I see your formations are good so I have a big business deal, would you dare to do it?"
Ye Mo smiled. "There's no business I don't dare to do."
"Great, I like this answer." Li Heng nodded in approval.
Before Ye Mo could reply he said, "Ye Mo, I won't hide it from you. A decade ago, we found a ruin here…"
"Ruin?" Ye Mo was completely broke. As soon as he heard the word 'ruin', his eyes lit up.
Li Heng was happy with Ye Mo's expression and continued, "That ruin is very obscure. I'm certain that without guidance you wouldn't be able to find it for ten thousand years."
"Then why did you guys wait till today?" Ye Mo asked in confusion.
Gao Yuan quickly said, "There's a formation there. None of us know formations, if we tried to break it open by force it would startle everyone in the swamp. By then, our team won't be able to get anything. Thus, we haven't touched it till now."
Ye Mo realized and said, "No problem brother Li. Lead the way, let's go see."
Li Heng nodded immediately and flew faster.
Half a day later, Ye Mo finally found signs of cultivators. Many of them were searching for something in this endless swap. At this moment, a cultivator suddenly put away his flying magic artifact and dug his head into the grey mud.
People really did this?
"Someone probably found something good," Gao Hu said.
