The Rushou ruins are shrouded in dark fog, and no one can see inside, but everyone knows the dangers within are numerous.
For tens of thousands of years, many races from the Edge Corner Airspace have ventured into this dark fog seeking fortune; some with great luck have obtained extremely precious treasures, but countless cultivators have lost their lives here.
Even masters at the eternal life stage dare not claim they can venture in and come out unscathed.
Despite many losing their lives here, whenever these ruins appear, those seeking fortune flock without end.
Currently, many cultivators are gathered around the Rushou ruins, and others are continuously arriving. Some people even set up stalls in the void, selling various defensive items.
Like a jade garment able to withstand a strike from an eternal life stage cultivator, a carefully crafted mind ice to keep one’s spirit and intelligence from being beguiled, and various miscellaneous talisman seals, which are etched with strange powers, can be used in emergencies to save one’s life.
Everyone has specific abilities, none all-encompassing, so many people look to buy defensive items for protection before entering. The Rushou ruins are dangerous; more protective power is beneficial.
Especially the "Mistfire," a divine artifact from the Fire Dao race, sells best. "Mistfire" is a special grass core that burns using a cultivator’s spiritual power. As long as a cultivator has spiritual power, it can provide continuous illumination.
Its unique feature is that it can provide vision at any time, offering at least thirty meters of illumination in the dark fog.
Many people’s perception in the dark fog is severely suppressed, so "Mistfire" undoubtedly offers a layer of protection.
Besides, there are people recruiting team members, preparing to go in together for mutual care.
Their recruitment is not random, usually requiring specific skills, such as races good at defense, resisting mind manipulation, and divining destiny...
In short, many teams cannot rely on a single person; usually, one or two Inquiry Dao Realm leaders lead the team, then find people to fill in the gaps. Even the Inquiry Dao Realm is not all-powerful and needs abilities from other races for safety.
Xiang Beifei stood watching, when a long-legged girl gracefully approached and asked, "Are you here to explore alone, fellow Dao friend?"
Xiang Beifei looked at the girl; she was quite charming, not breathtakingly beautiful, but full of mature allure.
[Leading Dao Seeker: Ye Qiniang]
[Dao Embryo: Path of Travel Dao]
[Dao Rank: Initial Inquiry Dao Realm]
Xiang Beifei was seeing this race for the first time; the Travel Dao race excels in various travel methods, including teleportation, flight, running, flash shifting, running through water, running through fire, and even walking on indestructible formations. As long as the travel method is strong enough, they can move fluidly through bizarre spiritual power fluctuations!
The Travel Dao race in a team maximally ensures a safe retreat.
"Yes." Xiang Beifei nodded.
Ye Qiniang immediately displayed a charming smile and said, "Since you have no companions, would you be interested in joining our team?"
Xiang Beifei curiously said, "You don’t know my abilities, why invite me?"
If a team needs people, at the very least they should first understand the other person’s abilities.
Ye Qiniang covered her mouth with a gentle laugh and said, "I just saw your steady and calm movement in the void, coming from the void but unable to determine the direction forward, yet clearly your control of the breath soil beneath your feet is extraordinary. You must be adept at the travel path."
"You really have a keen eye," Xiang Beifei said.
"Naturally, no need to hide from you, sir. I’m Ye Qiniang from the Travel Dao race, and I carefully observe those skilled in void-walking. I can determine everyone’s travel ability based on their movement method."
Ye Qiniang, being an Inquiry Dao Realm expert, had an extraordinary eye!
She was well-versed in various travel methods; countless people had gathered nearby, many stepping from distant voids. In her eyes, Xiang Beifei’s flying method was particularly skillful. She could immediately tell Xiang Beifei’s travel ability was extraordinary, possibly not weaker than the Travel Dao race!
"I see." Xiang Beifei slightly nodded.
"There is strong resistance in the void, but you walk on breath soil more naturally than ordinary people. Compared to those who cultivate powerful elements or other Heavenly Dao, you can lessen the external force’s pressure, and you have eternal life later stage strength, is that right?"
Ye Qiniang spoke with the insight of her Inquiry Dao experience.
Xiang Beifei did not deny.
"So, you are from the Strength Dao race?" Ye Qiniang asked with a smile.
"That’s not something I’ll discuss." Xiang Beifei said.
Ye Qiniang’s face did not show displeasure; on expeditions, there’s no need to tell strangers one’s background, especially in such temporary team formations which are quick to form and quicker to part.
Everyone does not need to know the roots deeply; this way, if conflicts arise midway, it won’t involve the races behind each other.
"Anyhow, I think you are suitable for our team. Would you have any interest in joining us?" Ye Qiniang asked.
